THE SUCCESS OF ALL
COMMUNITY BUILDING
One Way. And The Best. Is to Keep
Every Dollar at Home.

The success of community building
depends very largely upon the complete
ness of a local business organization.
Like any other organization it must be
well balanced and every feature given
careful consideration, If we should
have too many dry goods stores and not
good hardware establishment many
citizens would have to go out of the
community to buy their hardware. This
would result IN the dry goods merchants
loosing much business because many
people would do all their shopping where
they could get hardware service. On
the other hand a complete hardware
establishment, such as is conducted by
j. NJ. Davis & Son s brings many shop
pers to Oakland who patronize the
business houses generally.
1t must be said that Oakland has a
very complete business organization,
every line of trade beng well represent
ed, With his immense stock Of dry
goods, notions, groceries and furniture
D. E. Bolden is an important factor in
the business affairs of Garrett county
and has done much toward making Oak
land a popular shopping place. HIS
stock is very large in every department
and has been well selected for the people
of this community. Mr.. Boden has
seen to it that there is real merit in
every article sold by him. This estab-
lishment reflects great credit upon the
community and is Of great service to all
the people.

WHO ARE YOU BOOSTING?

In discussing the mail order business
this question arises: Are you boosting
your own town or are you boosting tor
New York and Chicago? 1t is safe to
say that every man living in this city
is giving moral support" to this city
and community. Theyare interested in
the welfare of the schools, the church
es and large per cent of them are ad-
yocates of good roads. They want to
see the community prosper and progress
yet great many of them are taking
the real substance out of the community
and placing 1t in the hands of the CAPT
tailsts who are operating the mail order
houses in two metropolitan cities.
In each of these cities stand great
monuments to the folly of the people of
the smaller cities and communities
throughout the country. They are in
the shapes of great business blocks
which cover many acres of ground and
the palatial mansions of the capitalists
who reap the great profits from this
INSCRIPTIONS manner of doing business.
The two cities and great states in
which they are located receive the tax
benefits from these big institutions.
The patronage of these houses means
assistance in the building of great high
ways, libraries and parks for the con-
venience and comfort of those people
who already have so much more than
we have here at home.
This moral support" which is given
the home community is of no interest to
the great capitalists If the far away
cities. We are welcome to that so far
as they are concerned so long as we
furnish them the hard earned cash.
They are satisfied to let this community
have the hot air.

and inferioritY of the fixtures the cost
of installation had been very expensive
and the work could not be made salts
factory, always leaving a reflection on
the man who did the work.
Another Redwood plumber accepted
the job, but with the understanding
that he was not TO be held responsible
for the work one day after the install
latlon. The plumber who did the in
stallation work wrestled with the Job
for three years but with no satisfactory
results. MIR. Hamilton was called in
two years ago and gave the job his best
effort. During the past two years the
repair bill on this bath room has long
past the two hundred dollar mark. In
all this man that saved" money by
sending to Chicago has many times paid
the price asked by the local plumber.
s. l.. Harmon, one of Redwood S
leading business men, purchased his
fixtures from Mr.. Hamilton when he
built his new home ten years ago. The
repair bill on this bathroom IN ten years
has been less than twenty dollars and a
portion of that has been the result of
freezing, there being no fault laid to
the material or workmanship.
These are but two of many like causes
in Redwood as well as every town and
city throughout the country. 1t is safe
to say that if the prospective purchas-
ers of like material will investigate the
cases where the outfits have come from
the mail order house they will be only
too glad to patronize the local plumber.
In all lines of trade there are none in
which there is a keener competition
than that which exists between the
manufacturer and dealers in plumbing
supplies. The price for the same grade
OF goods are practically the same and
when the mail order house quotes prices
below these the difference comes in the
quality. In selling you an outfit the
local plumber sees to 1t that the fixtures
fit and are free from defects. He must
give you reliable goods because he is
there TO answer for any faults that
cone to hight.
The local plumbers pa:ronlze the local
stores, the local banks, ana helps to
consume the products of the local farm
ers. He pays taxes, contributes to the
support of the churches and assists in
the charity work and helps in many
ways to make the home community a
better place IN which to live. Without
a first class plumbing establishment in
your community you would find it q
very inconvenient place to live. Good
plumbers locate and remain where
they get the patronage of the people.

HOME MERCHANT SAVE THE HOME

A Garrett county farmer, owning and
living on a small piece of land near Oak
land became generous patron of the
mail order houses. He not only made
his purchases there but solicited orders
from his neighbors. A few months ago
he found himself out of cash, having
sent it all to Chicago. A note for three
hundred dollars came due and in his
desperation he asked an Oakland merch-
ant to endorse for him in order to save
his farm. The merchant instructed the
farmer to send the note to the mail
order house where he had been making
his purchases. Not realizing the alb
surdity of the thing the farmer sent the
note to his mail order house with re-
quest that it be endorsed by them. 1t
is needless to say that it came back I'M
signed. The farmer went back to the
local merchant, who, after giving the
mail order victim just talking to"
signed the note and saved the farmers
home.

EVANSVILLE.

Captain R. R. Sanner, despite his IA
years, is out bright and early each
morning and after a brisk walk and
breakfast is ready for school routine;
nor has he been prevented from teach
ing at any time this winter on account
of illness, although most of his pupils
have succumbed to grippe and whoop-
ing cough for a few days at time
since the holidays. The midwinter
examinations however, show splendid
work by all the pupils. in spite of illness
and the absence of a few. Those
standing highest in their examinations
were:
Tenth grade-Edna Bender first,
Allen Bender second.
Ninth grade Margaret Getty first,
Lee Custer second.
Eighth grade-Eyerett Miller first
Albert Miller second.
One of the prettiest social affairs of
the season and the most successful, was
Valentine Leap Year dance given by
the Grantsville girls on Monday even
ing in the Broadwater hall. The hall
was beautifully decorated with hearts
and cupids and the programmes were
decorated with likenesses of the
roguish little love god. Punch was
served by the ladies, and a most
delicious luncheon was served by two
little girls-Grace Hershberger and
Margaret Getty-with Mrs. Fred
Livengood as caterer.
Michael burst, veteran OF the Civil
War, living several miles west of
Grantsville, died the fore part of this
week, of paralysis. He was about 81
years of age. Funeral at Grantsville

THE DIFFERENCE IN PLUMBING

We are all familiar with the fate of
the man who saved money by defending
himself in court-he is IN the peniten-
tiary. And the man who economical by
being his own doctor-he is dead. Few
have attempted to sidestep the plumber
but many have purchased their fixtures
from the mail order house-they have
been stung.
About five years ago a Redwood, w.
Va, citizen asked his local plumber the
price of his new bathroom fixtures. He
found them fifteen dollars higher than
that asked by the mail order house for
equipment which looked just as good
and the order was placed in a Chicago
house. When the fixtures arrived the
purchaser applied to W. A. Hamilton,
the plumber, to install the outfit. Mr..
Hamilton refused to have anything to
do with it because of his former ex-
perience with like fixtures from the
same house. On account of the insists

he BANKS OF THE COUNTY.

Oakland and Garrett county has
real advantage in respect to its banking
facilities. The two large and substanti-
al institutions in 0al, and and the banks
at Kitzmiller, Friendsville and Grants
vile, are not only managed with sucn a
degree of care as to gain the confidence
of all the people but in every instance
these institutions are doing their full
share toward community building. For
tunately they are free from frac-
tional strife and are working in har-
mony to the one end-to make Garrett
county more prosperous community.
w. H. HINEBAUGH.
Through the store and workshop of
w. H. limbaugh the harness. saddle
and general horse supply business is
well taken care of in Oakland The
high standard of goods carried by him
is well known to all the people and
those who have tried both sources Of
supply are well aware of the fact that
there is so much difference in the goods
that there should be no comparison in
prices between he and the mail order
houses.
Mr.. Hinebaugh carries everything IN
the way of leather goods, including har-
ness, saddles, whips and every kind of
horse goods. There is also a fine line
of trunks, suit cases and hand bags.
ARTHUR TOWNSHEND.
Practically ever since Oakland has
been the chief trading center of this
end of the state the general mercantile
establishment of Davis & Townshend
and latter that of Arthur Townshend
has been among the leading mercantile
establishments. During that time this
store has served nothing but the highest
class of goods, has given fine mercan-
tile establishment to all the people of
the community and has afforded a mar
ket for the products of the farmers who
have brought tneir goods to Mr.. Town
shend. These are but few of the
Denelts Whlch all the people mere have
derived from the presence of this
pioneer mercantile establishment. In
addition to the great sum of money
paid out by Mr.. Townshend in the way
of taxes for the up keep of the public
Institutions he has contributed to every
move toward public improvement and
community building He has been in
terested in the welfare of Garrett
county all this time and has assisted
materially in the building of this fine
community.

EVERYTHING GOING UP.

Not only paper but everything else
is going up, and soon II will be a gem
uine struggle for the laboring man TO
make both ends meet We are told
that times are good at present.
Times are good inasmuch as there
is plenty OF work for everyone who
wants TO, and has to work Money is
plentiful also. The only trouble is
that the laboringman does not get
his share
The moment wages begin going up
right then and there the price OF
everything the laboringman needs
starts soaring, and his wages never
keep up with the increased cost of
living. His wages are always a few
laps behind the cost of the things he
needs to eat and wear.
In times past most any laboringman
was satisfied II he had job, and he
was highly elated when the boss came
around and shook hands with him,
patted him on the back, filled him up
full of hot air and told him how to
vote. He generally turned down the
people who we're interested in his
welfare and went and did just as he
was told
Then when the bird of beautiful
plumagc did not flutter over his hum
bic domicile after election, when he
found himself out of work, or hts
wages cut, he chafed little, rested
his right foot on the brass rail, blew

dtions and roasted the bosses. But
just before election he was always
whipped into line.
His masters have even taught him
TO believe that he has no right TO or

he did break away and become afhllat-

Dimes, Quarters and Halves 10 BE
Distributed Through Banks.

Bankers have been notified that the
newly minted half-dollars, quarters
and dimes, which are to replace the
old ones, will be distributed through
out the country within few days.
There is national law which re-
quires that there shall be change in
the design of all silver coins every
twenty years. In accordance with this
rule gradual preparations for the
change have been in progress, and the
government is now ready to trade old
coins for new
The new half-dollars will have on
one side the Goddess OF Liberty hold
ing bunch OF olive branches, with
the old legend "In God We Trust"
above her. on the other side a sppead
eagle is poised on a rock, holding in
it's talons what the designers say is
an oak twig. Over its head are the
words United States of America; at
it's feet, Half Dollar"
The quarters are unique. On one
side is the figure of woman coming
through gate in wall; on the other
is an eagle in full flight The public
is left to guess at the significance OF
the woman and the gate.
The new dimes will be quite differ

there is a woman's head with "Liber-

On the other a bunch OF rods and an
