A QUESTION OF HUMANITY.

Just as the cheering news comes that
War Department official says there is
not one chance in a thousand there will
be any more trouble with Mexico, that
the Pershing expedition will be north
of the Rio Grande in a month or so and
the National Guardsmen will be home
in three months, that Villa is dead and
only his name remains bogy to COM
plete peace, we are confronted with a
new veXation from Carranzaland 1t
seems that the only ministers to the
been Chinese. They, thrifty and cum
ming souls, were the only people in the
looted land who had not been stripped
of their possessions. So it was Chinese
who came to the camps of our boys
when they slipped from their horses at
the end of hot days ride and refresh
ed the soldiers with ''doughnuts pies,
candy, tobacco, matches and fruit -
all for price. Having given aid and
comfort to the "gringoes" they dared
not return to their homes, so stuck to
the American camps. AS Pershing
came north the Chinese came with him.
There are 300 under his protecting
wing, as itswere, saved from indignity
or worse at the hands of MeXicans only
by the Stars land Stripes. They are
not safe in Mexico. And they cannot
come to thei United States. They are
all right as pie peddlers across the line,
but what shall be done with them when
the Rio Grande is reached by Pershing?
Manlfestly they cannot enter the United
States. Neither can we leave a guard
in Juarez to protect them from the ven
geance of the,Mexicans.
Does the stress of 300 Chinese make
a case where the interests of humanity
rise paramount to those of the United
States? If so, shall all the peace with
Carranza that has been achieved be cast
aside to save the yellow boys? Or are
the Chinese in the family of mankind?
Are they honestly under our protection
or did they play trick on US? Bret
Harte said ''for;ways that are dark, the
heather Chinesel is peculiar" Maybe
the 300 have devised a cunning scheme
to OVERRIDE our exclusion law. What
will thei President of Humanity do
about it?

NO VACATION FOR CHURCHES.

Vacation tourists returning from New
York, who happened to spend one or
more Sundays in the metropolis, re-
port that the sign CLOSED for the sum-
mer" is seen less frequently on church
doors than was the case a few years
ago. There was time when the diff
ficulty in finding a place of worship
open, especially along Fifth avenue.
By common agreement it appeared
that those churches which should be in
the very vanguard of the fight against
Satan, those the strongest in financial
resources, with the largest rolls of
membership. the most distinguished
and eloquent pastors, possessing the
most accomplished singers and
musicians and all that attracts the
stranger, has temporarily abandoned
their mission, hauled down the flag and
given the enemy an inning. Today a
very different situation is presented
The pastor may be absent on a needed
vacation, but an able substitute has
been provided. An opportunity is fur
nished visitors in the metropolis to hear
some of the most noted preachers of
the day. Special features in the way
of music are furnished. The churches
are taking space in the newspapers to
advertise what they are doing to COM
bat the traditional summer lethargy of
the churchgoer. Instead of letting
down in their activities many churches
actually are speeding up. Some send
special cards of invitation to guests of
hotels in their vicinity. On no hand is
any disposition manifested to surrender
to the forces of evil for the time being.
The idea seems to be to make special
effort in the summer season to realize
100 per cent. efficiency.

TOO GOOD TO SUCCEED.

That was tragic little story from
Martinsburg, W. Va, about George
Monkey, the barber He was too good
to succeed. After conducting a shop
for II years he has filed a petition in
bankruptcy but not because business
was bad. He had plenty of customers,
too many in fact, because they all sat
around and waited for George to shave
them instead of getting into his other
vacant chairs. His shop netted him
Just about what he himself could take
in, which wasn't enough. George was
such fine barber he got all the work
If he had purposely used dull razor
occasionally, if he had nicked face or
two just to keep the public from i'm
posing on him, he might have been sue
cessful. Or if he had charged double
the money for his services he might
have forced his patrons to see the light
Success in business often hinges on
this question of service. 1t can be too
good and it can be too bad. If your
neighborhood grocer sends his motor
truck flying with each l0-cent telephone
order just the minute it comes in he is
risking bankruptcy. In handling perish
able goods out of season because few
of his customers demand them. he must
figure into the price the value of the
left over and spoiled articles or he is
selling at loss. Don't think your
dealer is arbitrary because his delivery
wagons are run on routes and schedules
he is merely trying to remain in bust
ness. Before protesting about high
prices decide first whether the article
desired is out of season. These cases
are similar to Georges. He was Civ
ing too much service for the money; he
was too easy with his trade to be a
success.

STATE-AIO ROAD To Be
COMPLETED TO MT. LAKE
Contract For Its Construction Was
Made Monday by Commissioners.

One of the most important road con-
tracts made by the Board of County
Commissioners in recent years was that
of Monday when papers were signed
authorizing the extension of the road
from Weber's into Mountain Lake Park,
the route to follow the old road from
the Weber corner to the top of the hill
at Sunset Cottage in the Park. a dis
lance of about two thirds of mile.
The contractors for this small stretch
of road are Messrs. Echard, Landon &,
Co., who also built the Weber road
from Oakland to Gortner. Work on the
road was begun Yesterday and it is
thought that the entire contract will be
completed by early fall.

GARRETT COUNTY FAIR FOR 1916
Will Be Held in Oakland, Sept. IL,
IS, Id and Is, Four Big DAYS.

At reorganization meeting of the
Agricultural Fair Association of this
county held in Oakland on last Friday
Messrs. Geo. D. Browning, of Friends
vile, and Wade H. Hinebaugh, of Oak
land, were elected directors, vice r. E.
Sliger and Mrs l.. F. Tower, resigned.
The new board organized by the cleo
ton of j. A. Kelly, as president; Jno.
Stevenson, as vice president, Jas D.
Hamill, secretary-treasurer, and Milton
Sincell, assistant secretary.
The fourth annual fair will be held in
Oakland on Sept. 18th, 18th, l4th and
18th and the management is making
every preparation to excel the fairs of
previous years in every department. An
extensive advertising campaign has
been planned and the management is
receiving the encouragement of bust
ness men and farmers from many sec
tions of the country, even more liberal
ly than in former years.
The premium list and catalogue to be
published and circulated during the
month of August will announce many
new features and many special pre-
miums for every line of exhibits and a
great number of cash prizes will be of
fered IN the agricultural, horticultural
and live stock lines.
The program for all four days of the
fair is now being arranged and will be
announced in the catalogue and will be
the best ever offered by this associa-
ton, which is saying a good deal. The
management has secured one of the
best free attractions with two perfor-
mances daily and will add others for
the amusement and entertainment of
its patrons. These will be announced
later as contracts are signed. Splendid
band and other music will enliven the
fair grounds and building every hour of
the day and there will not be dull mo-
ment from the opening to closing each
dav.
Cheap round-trIp excursions will be
run over the B. & o. r. r. for the fair
dates and the new state roads reaching
Oakland from the north and south will
afford motorists a splendid opportunity
of seeing the best exhibit IN the state
as well as enjoying the picturesque
scenery along the route.
1t is the aim of the new management
to make the fair of 1916 a record
breaker and no trouble or means will be
spared to make every patron welcome
and give him double value for every
cent expended in attending the fair.
Every farmer and tradesman in Gar
rett county and its neighboring counties
of West Virginia and Pennsylvania is
urged to make exhibits and contest for
the many premiums and prizes to be
offered, especially in the live stock and
agricultural departments. Garrett
county far exceeded in these lines in
former years the larger fairs of this
and adjoining states and they hope to
eclipse all former efforts at the 1916
fair.
Write the secretary for premium list
and full information and prepare to be
an exhibitor at the coming fair and help
boost Garrett county and its next door
neighbors. Let everybody get together
and push" and the results of the fourth
annual fair will be the best advertise
ment that can be produced.

PAP FOR The FARMERS.

President Wilson yesterday accom-
panied his signing of the rural credits
bill with stump speech which said in
effect: Here's your bit, Mr.. Farmer;
vote for me in November. For the
rural credits bill is political measure.
pure and simple No wonder Mr.. Will
son was emotional as he signed it; he
feels it gives HIM claim on the farmers
vote, and he wants votes now more
than anything else. 1t is doubtful.
though, if the farmers will be fooled
by his misstatements, though some of
them may be grateful for the discrimi-
nation in their favor.
When the President said that this bill
puts them on an equality with all 9TH
ers who have genuine assets" he said
what is untrue, what he knows to be
the reverse of the fact, and what the
promoters of the bill know is not 50.
The bill is distinctly class legislation,
intended to give one part of the citizen
ship an advantage not enjoyed by any
other. 1t does, as the President said,
make the great credit of the country
available to them, and no other legis-
lation makes the credit of the nation
available to any other class. 1t is not,
as Mr.. Wilson said, an "act of Justice"
it is piece of pap. The farmers are
not in need of government help of this
sort. They are entitledto every bust
ness privilege and advantage equally
with all others of enterprise and indus
try, and that is all the farmers ever

THE Garrett County Fair for 1916, an
announcement of which will be found
elsewhere in this paper today, promises
to eclipse any former effort on the part
of the Fair Association. Much encour-
agement is being received by the man
agement and as the fair is purely for
the purpose of encouraging agriculture
lists and stockmen it should be literally
supported by them. Give the fair your
support by beginning now to arrange
for an exhibit, be it live stock or pro-
ducts of the field. The cost of making
such an exhibit is so little and the re-
turn promises to be so great that it will
result in an investment that will yield
large returns.
