crowd of about sixty were to be found
in the rooms over the Peoples Store
sharing IN the fun of the first Ladies
Night given by the adult bible class of
the Methodist church in Mountain Lake
Park. Ladies, wives preferred. were
the tickets Of admission for the men

ter of ceremonies and introduced Mr.
Wright as the first speaker who eici-
ted great applause by announcing the
return of the pastor for another year

ence does it will be Elan again" Mr..
Flanagan came back with a fitting
story and then Captain Hayden, just
back from the streneous days at Anna
polls, spoke of the high moral tone Of
the Legislative body giving as the rea-
son that the men of the churches in
groups like this bible class were insist
ing that only clean men should repre-

pleasant affair The class meets every

OAKLAND THE MECCA
Of OFFICE SEEKERS
Garrett County Visited BY Numerous
Political Aspirants During Week.

Within the past week Oakland has
been the Mecca toward which political
seekers after office have turned their
faces and as result the emotions of
many have been stirred" to a more or
less degree of activity. In fact some
have been Stirred" to such an extent
that they haye been losing sleep and
wondering what it means.
The vanguard was led by DR.. Joseph
Irwin France, who came to Oakland
last Friday morning, after having en-
tered the county by way of the Pike
on Thursday. spending the night at
Grantsville. In Oakland DR.. France
met quite large number of people and
was most cordially received by them.
He returned east Friday afternoon by
automobile.
Tuesday Oakland had within her
borders all at one time three of the five
Republican aspirants for Congress
and two political agents in the interest
of Hon. William Cabell Bruce, Demo-
cratic Senatorial candidate.
State Senator F. n Zihlman followed
the Pike to Oakland from Cumberland,
stopping enroute at various points
where he was warmly welcomed by his
friends to whom he extended the glad
hand. He was accompanied by Mr..
Lloyd L. Shaffer, who returned to Cum

remaining in Oakland visiting acquaint-

THE COUNTY TAX RATE
IS SLIGHTLY HIGHER
An Addition Of Two Cents On The
Hundred Dollars. or $1.19.

With the Board of County Commits
sioners the problem of keeping the tax
rate down and at the same time provid-
ing sufficient funds for the maintenance
of public schools. the building of new
roads and other necessary expenses of
county government. was task which
faced the board when it went into ses-
sion last Monday morning for the pur-
pose of making the levy for the coming
year.
Under law passed by the recent
session of the Legislature it was made
mandatory upon the public officials to
keep the schools open for a period of
one hundred and eighty days of actual
teaching, or nine full months of twenty
days each. To accomplish this and pro-
vide for the necessary funds levy of
80 cents was necessary which produces
the sum of $45, 900 for this purpose
alone.
In addition to the heavy school levy
the sum of more than 500, 900 is provid-
ed for in the new levy for new roads.
OF this amount 10000 is required to
complete paying for the Oakland-Gort-
her road and an additional sum has been
levied to complete the Shoem aker road
from the Weber property to the limits
of Mountain Lake Park, thus giving
the people of the Park an improved
road, to connect with the State system
leading east.
The Commissioners have been diligent
and endeavored to keep the tax rate as
low as it was last year, but demands
made upon the Board from almost every
section of the county for road improve
ment and road maintenance and the adj
ditional sum for school purposes, which
was raised from about $3l, 900 last year,
has resulted in increasing the rate from
81 II to $l.19.
The Commissioners are to be con-
graduated for the good showing they

CHARLES C. MOODY DEAD
HIS Lifeless Body Found in Blooming
ton Store Room Saturday Morning.

The lifeless body of Charles C. Moody,
aged ffty-six years, son of the late
William Moody. one-time prominent
MERCHANT of Bloomington. this county,
was found lying on the counter of his
store room in Bloomington early Satur-
day morning, his death evidently having
occurred but short time before the
discovery was made.
For number of years the deceased
had slept in the store room where he
conducted business in a small way and
usually arose and opened the building
about six o'clock in the morning, being
regular in this respect. On Saturday
it was noticed by passers-bY that the
store was still closed and knowing the
condition of Mr.. Moody's health, he
having been a sufferer for five or six
years as the result of tuberculosis, it
was deemed expedient by the residents
of the town to force entrance into the
building, which was done and his body
was found upon the counter as above
stated.
Mr.. Moody was never married and is
survived by a sister, Mrs. Brown, who
resides IN Baltimore, she being his only
known relative.
By the terms of the will of the de-
ceased, which was also found in the
store room, he left all his property to
friend, whose home is in Washington.
D. c. The estate consists of $4,000 in
cash and the Bloomington property,
which is valued at about $500.
The funeral of Mr.. Moody occurred
on Monday, with interment at Western
port, Nd, where his remains were de-
posted by the side of his father, whose
death was caused about five years ago
when he was struck and run down by a
train on the Western Maryland Rail
road near Luke, Allegany county.

would be to get his auditors together
when it would not require so much re-
iteration.
Mr.. GisU Blair was the third and last
arrival IN town. He spent yesterday
here irving to fix up some political
fences and will remain in town part of
today, when he expects to leave for the
east.
Mr.. Bruce's claims upon the Demo-
cratic voters was urged by his son and
by Mr.. A. c. McComas, of Baltimore,
who also came to Oakland by way of
the Pike, Tuesday afternoon. They re-
NAMED in Oakland until Yesterday

Notice To The Public.

1t has been called to my attention
that a number of persons in various
parts of the county are using in their
respective places of business punch
boards, for which prizes are given for
certain numbers punched out. This is
a violation of the law and the practice
must be discontinued at once. Accord
ingly those making use of said boards
are hereby warned to remove and de-
stroy them at once.
| wish also to call attention to the
fact that the law introduced in the re-

So far, it has proved ineffective. The
well-meaning person, applying the
swatter at every opportunity. kills one

millions of them at a blow.
Screens and swatters are a good
thing, but a clean neighborhood is the

COVER MANURE BOX

A proper system of manure disposal
is more important than all other meas
ures combined as a method of con
trolling the fly nuisance A proper
method of garbage collection and dis
posal is next in Importance, The gar.

at intervals with lye soap and water
and then sponged With kerosene in

The foregoing advice is from the ia
nous sanitary authority. DR.. w. A
Evans of Chicago In our local cam
paign we should utilize this informa
ton to the utmost. II has long been
recognized that swatting the fly would
never rid the community of his whole

that we must make war on him early
In the season by getting rid of his

HOUSEFLY NESTS IN
FILTH--HELP TO
KILL HIM

The nousefly is foul and dangerous
little pest. The female lays her eggs
in manure. in human excrement or in
the flesh of dead and rotting animals,
never anywhere else. The eggs hatch
into maggots and the maggots feed on
the til:h until they sprout wings and
become flies. The flies swarm into
our homes. bringing with them the
germs of many diseases-especiall
typhoid, consumption and dysentery
which they deposit on our food.
Many of our homes were saddened
last year by death resulting from dis
eases spread by flies. Therefore the
housefy is our deadly enemy and We
ought to kill him off as far as possible
before warm weather comes. To do
this effectually will require the coop
Grafton of the whole community.
Cleanliness. generally speaking, is the
hy's greatest enemy, but If one man
cleans up his place-removing all
barnyard filth. keeping garbage cans
covered, etc.-and his neighbors on
either side do not follow suit, the one
man will not be protected from flies
and disease.
This war on flies is a Job for the
whole town, and it is a big one. 1t is
suggested that our local authorities or
some of our active citizens call meet
ing and make plans at once to start
the campaign for fly determination
Let us enlist the aid of the health of.
ticers, the physicians. the merchants
the lawyers, the mechanics. the wom-
en- aud the boys and girls.
1t will be necessary to have a num-
Der of committees to look after the
many angles of the work and see that
proper preventive measures are taken
to remove the opportunities for flies
to lay eggs and hatch them. Swatting
| the fly is ineffective--you only kill
one fly at a swat. But If you begin
earlier by spraying manure piles and
the contents of clubhouse vaults with
kerosene or with chloride of lime so
that fly eggs will not hatch In these
masses, you prevent the birth of mil
lions of flies.
The state board OF health will be
glad to send US all kinds of informa-
ton helpful in carrying on fly war,
If our local doctors have none on hand.
After the campaign organization is
formed, about the first thing to do is
to get reliable information and put it
in the hands of our people.
Who will make the first move to
start the campaign?

One way to control the fly is
to catch it in such a trap az
is shown above. The trap MAJ
be placed near the garbage can,
or any other place that the flies
are sure To come. A simple
and effective trap may be made
from a grocery box by substi-
tuting wire netting for the top
and two sides, cutting round
hole in the bottom and inserting
in it a wire netting cone with
an eighth-inch opening at the
bottom and a half-inch opening
at the top. Some article of
food, preferably a fish head.
should be placed inside for bait.
The trap must be elevated sew.
eral inches above the ground, so
as to give the flies a chance
to enter. When the trap is full,
1t may be emptied by shaking
its contents through a small
opening, ordinarily closed by a
sliding door. The trap described
and shown in the illustration is
a particularly effective one, as
it was planned with a view to
the fly's habits The odor of
food leads the fly to enter the
trap at the bottom. Once inside
1t is attracted to the top by the
light. When it gets out of the
wire cone it cannot escape. The
trap has the additional virtue of
being inexpensive. 1t may be
made at cost of about twenty
cents and about a half hours
time.
