WHAT WILL THE HARVEST BE

They are planting seed on the battle field; \
(For the living must still have grain)
Though the ground is red
With the blood of their dead,
And foul with the flesh of their slain.
Widows and orphans IRE tlHng the field;
(They will water the grain with tears)
For fathers and sons
Are but food for guns,
For the hatred of men and their fears.
They are planting seed on the battle field;
Cor the living must still have bread
They will nurture the grain
In the heart and the brain
And blood of their ten thousand dead.
The pride of the nations swept over the field:
prince, merchant, peasant and SEER
They lie where they fell
When a hot blast from hell
Made the scene OF their glory their bier.
They re planting seed on the battle field;
Cor the living must eat or die)
Still kaiser and car
And kings make war,
And men Stay, though they know not why.
With the blood OF their choicest they've stained the field;
(They have drenched it in tears of gaD
Will the seeds that they sow
In soldiers graves grow,
Or rot in the blood where they fall?
The heart OF man is a battle field;
Though they reck not, they're planting seed)
They have fouled it with hate,
With revenge insensate,
With envy, ambition and greed.
Flowers of genius once b1oomed in the field;
Cart, science, philosophy, trade)
But wars fiery breath
Swept them all to their death,
And the garden a barren waste made.
They are planting seed on the battle field;
What they SOW they shall surely reap
If passion and strife,
Then the lusts of life
Will rise from the seeds where they sleep.
With the foulest emotions they've stained the field:
(They have titled it with helish glee)
If the seed that they SOW
Is sorrow and woe,
Then, what will the harvest be? 4

A YEAR

Goodbye, 1914! What a lot of history you have made! How MANY
thousands OF pages will be written of your events in future years. What
must bear.
History is bound to record the year 1914 as one of the most momen-
tous and critical of the Christian err. And of its many important as
poets, the European al, of course, will hold first place. 1t is far too
early to venture the haznHt kind OF a guess a to the outcome OF that
Titanic struggle, but that it will change the map of Europe, topple
thrones and uncrown rulers is inevitable. What the effects upon the
common people of Europe will be is probematical. That those lett
after the war has u its course will suffer terribly, of course. is Ger
tain. That they will rise out of their misery N the strength OF righfe-
Gus Indignation and put end to the system Of miitarsm that has
plunged them into woe may be hoped. That the characterization Of
Europe may arise from the ashes of its devastation is the dream OF
every idealst
On this side of the Atlantic the yea has been only less striking
in its historical features, but peace instead of a has been the key
note,w with the exception OF Mexicos ncessant turmoil. That the Unit
ed States, through the wise and patient guidance of President Wilson,
has kept out of embodiment with the Mexican factions is lie of the
achievements Of the year that is noteworthy That, in the oil world
struggle, every nation involved cherishes and desires to maintain the
friendsh OF the United States, is a tribute to II importance IS a
world factor and u neutrality as a nation. The year TO com may find
as the agency through which the peace OF Europe shall be attained.
Our generous response to Belgium's necessities has made us the lido!
and savior of that bleeding country. Without II succor, already ren
dered and to come, the Belgian people would become but a memory
The domestic affairs Of our country have been marked with the stamp
Of progress and achievement. Suffering, with all the rest of the world,
from N era of business stagnaton, enhanced by the a we have "
theless been blessed with abundance. The prospects for the future are
bright. No previous year in our history has witnessed 1.-THE accomplish
men Of o much sane, needed legislation.
In its Immediate fruits 1914 has been both a good and bad year for
humanity. Whether, in the ultimate reckoning, good or bad shall be
the predominatins effects, the future must answer. But good or bad,
1914 W a unquestionably a most remarkable year in human history. May
its record, in all things that re good for the bodies and souls of men
be ecipsed by that of the year just begun.
"Wathchful waiting n Mexico may have proved resul1ess, as is

We may never have use for a vast standing army, but surely in
time of peace W e should prepare for Hobson and Gardner.

CANDIDATES MUST QUALIFY
SATURDAY OR BEFOR {.
No One Has Entered G. 0. P. Race
For COmptroIIership Yet.

Candidates for the statewide offices
must file their certificates with the
Secretary of State not later than next
Saturday, the law requiring that they
qualify not later than 80 days prior to
the primary election. All other can
didates have until August "a to file
their papers, which must be deposited
with the Supervisors of Elections in the
respective counties and in Baltimore
city.
The Democrats have completed their
tickets, So far as the statewide Offices
are concerned, but the Republicans are
still shy comptroller. Should no can
dldate materialize, the State Central
Committee may fill the vacancy after
the expiration of the time limit, but if
there is one aspirant in the field who
has qualified they are declared from
making any other nomination.
As there is d possibility of the en-
trance Of candidate who might make
the ticket undesirable geographically,
it is not unlikely that the party leaders
will defer taking action, hence it may
be assumed that the adherents of the
two leading candidates for the guber-
material nomination will be looking
about for available timber this week.
At any rate the Weller people do not
propose to take any chances. The in
dications are they will look to the East
ern Shore to produce a candidate.
The Republican State Central Com
mittee will meet on Wednesday at the
Hotel Rennert. Baltimore, to ratify the
action Of Chairman Tate, who agreed
with Chairman Vandiver to appoint
Tuesday. September "A, as the primary
election date. and at the same time the
committee will authorize the chairman
to fix the time and place for the State
Convention. These matters will con-
stitute the business to be transacted,
but at the same time an opportunity
will be afforded to confer about the
ticket, and it is more than probable
that the delegates will be consulted as
to the candidate for comptroller.

"REMINISCENCES Of DAYS.
BEFORE GARRETT COUNTY
WAS MADE A COUNTY
A Member Of The Republican staff
Talks With Old Citizens.

Among the original settlers of this
part of the state of Maryland was the
Ashby family, who were here in the
time of the buffalo and the red men. 1t
was pioneer family and has a most
interesting history. A piece of land
taken up by one of this family has
been occupied by four generations of
Ashby's and remains in their possession
today.
1t is claimed that the first white
child born in the territory included in
Garrett county was William Ashby,
great-grandfathe of Albert, Dorsey
and Charles Ashby, who in young man
hood took up the tract Of land at Crelhn
now occupied by Dorsey Ashby. In
1877 William W. Ashby. his son, grand
father of the boys, built the brick house
now on the farm.
In those early days the buffalo roam
ed over that part of the county. Great
grandfather Ashby killed, on the home
farm, three buffalo.
In the vicinity of the Beckman farms
stood fort built for the protection of
the settlers of the surrounding country.
On one occasion when great grand
mother Ashby and members of her
family were out riding they saw signs
of Indians and FASTENED to the fort, pur-
sued by the red men and made their
escape through the brush and woods.
From Confluence, Pa, came Gabriel
Friend and settled on the Youghiogheny
river. He was among the very first
settlers of this community. The town
of F'riendsville was named in his honor
and he was its first postmaster For
years he served as Justice of the Peace
One of his sons Jacob b. Friend was
noted as famous hunter of bear, deer
and other wild game. He was a fear
less hunter. Many an interesting story
is told of him. The pioneer Friends
we're noted, far and wide. for their skill
as hunters anu trappers The Friends
have taken prominent part in the
development and affairs of this county.
B. F. Harvey is one of the early day
men of Garrett county, born and bred
on the soil For 70 years he has lived
in Ryans Glade, growing up with the
county and helping to make the wilder
ness blossom like the rose. For four
years he was a soldier of the Civil war,
in the first U. s. Cavalry.

OAKLAND, MARYLAND THURSDAY. AUGUST 2 1915.
FRIDAY AUGUST 18th.
Most Dangerous HO0doo Day of 1915
Coming.

Look out We foolish ones who scorn
hoodoos, jinXs, jItney buses and other
superstitins at which all sensible shy
as they would at a yellow-eyed black

yard during the dark of the moon.
There's dangerous day comm.
The only Friday the Thirteenth in
1915 is in August, this week. In most
years there comes more than one Fri
day the thirteenth and therefore with
the seances of the spirits less concen-
trated there isn't so much danger
when there's just one of these hoodoo
days then-look out.
To make Friday. August -, Just as
bad as it can possibly be, the day will
fall on the dark of the moon. Anybody
that doesn' know what that means had
better look to his whiskers and eye
balls.
Strange things have occurred on these
days marked for particular jurisdiction
by the evil minded witches who are
only at home on inky black nights, at
which time they are wont to congre-
gate in weird seance over great caul-
droEs which emit strange and bewitch-
ing aromas.
Here are a few things to avoid on
Friday, the thirteenth, dark o. the
moon.
Paddocks containing dead trees.
Drawing to inside straights.
A bob-tail flush.
Grave yard
Hoot owls
Cross-eyed politicians.

THREE HIGH SCHOOL
TEACHERS HAVE RESIGNED
Two of the Vacancies Have Already
Been Filled by Appointment.

During the past few days the Board
of School Commissioners has been
advised of the resignation of three of
the teachers who held chairs in the
Oakland High School last year. Two
of the vacancies have already been
filed, but that Sof instructor in the
Domestic Science department remains.
Miss Mae Jones, who had charge of
the Latin classes last year, a graduate
of Delaware College. rendered her
resignation shortly after the close of
the term last spring and will 90 to
Ohio where she, will be engaged in
teaching this year The vacancy oc~
casion by Miss'Jones' resignation has
been filled by the appointment Of Prof.
Charles H. Collision, a Western Mary
land College man, who has been teach
ing at Mayo, this State, for the past
several years. and comes to Oakland
highly recommended.
Miss Ethel WEIGH, in charge ,of the
chemical science department. has ac-
cepted like position with the Frostburg
State Normal, and will assume her
duties when school opens this fall. MISS
Mabel Stewart, Of Washington, D. c.,
graduate of Columbia College and
also of George Washington University,
Washington, has been selected to take
the position made vacant by Miss
Welch's retirement. Miss Stewart is
probably the best equipped instructor
that could be secured by the school
authorities, as she comes to Oakland
with recommendations from high
educational authorities and in love
with her work.
Miss Florence Long, for the past year
instructor in the Domestic Science De-
partment, is the third of the corps of
teachers to resign. The position thus
made vacant is still untitled, but the
