Notice to Operators of Pool
Rooms.

| wish to call>attentlon of all who are
conducting pool rooms in Garrett
county to the following opinion recently
rendered by the Attorney General of
Maryland. The same refers to the
presence Of minors in pool rooms and is
as follows:
The Act of 1916, Chapter 205 does
not repeal the provisions on this subject
of the Act of 1894. Chapter POI, but
both of these acts should be read to
gether, with the result that under the
Act of 1916 persons under the age of
sixteen are prohibited altogei Their from
engaging IN or witnessing games of
pool of billiards in pool rooms, or from
lettering therein, as provided by that
Act, aud that under the Act of 1894
minors over sixteen are prohibited, ex-
cept upon the written permission of
their parents or guardian"
The above opinion explains itself and
those interested will be governed &C
cordingly.

States Attorney for Garrett County.

PREPARING FOR The WORST.

The national ADMINISTRATION has be-
gun with commendable energy the
enormous task of preparing the country
for war, now that there is possibility
the United States may be drawn into
Institutes with Germany. Modifying
and quipping the military and naval
forces and protecting munitions works,
government stores and avenues of COM
munication from damage by hosties is
supremacy important; sois it that we
assure ourselves the fullest means of
Therefore the Presidents proclamation
of yesterday under power conf, FRED by
the shipping act, forbidding the selling,
leasing or charte1ing of any American
vessel to any person not citizen of the
United States is wise precaution. 1t
very early bring us face to face with
the facts that have been impressed up
on Europe in the last 80 months, that in
time of national emergency every pri-
NdbS IllOoL yICld " the uSCcS-
sites of country. If we must fight the
government must have the means to
carry on warfare successfully. We
shall have to depend upon our own eff
fors and it must be seen to that no pri-
vate concern can interpose any obstacle
to the government in any of it's aims
1t is not expected that any will, no
more than that there will be any in
justice in the execution of measures
necessary to the national safety.
Under the terms Of the proclamation
all engaged in Shipping are put on an
equality. None will be permitted to
serve foreign countries or private in
terests when our own government is in
want of vessel room. The government
has not yet taken over the shipping:
the proclamation simply serves notice
on ship owners and managers that no
contracts may be entered into that
would in the slightest degree remove
the vessels from the control of the
United States. 1t is not confscation;
it is PREPARATION, and we must put
forth at Washington to make the
country ready for any eventuahty.

HAVE YOU MOBlLlZEO?

That is the question for every Ameri-
can today. To mobilize means to make
ready for active service. The term
usually Is applied to armies, but that is
no reason why it Should be so restricted
in time of crisis. Armies are made up
of individuals; If the individuals, or
lowest units of an army, are not ready
for active service the army itself can
not be effective. Behind the armv
stands the nation. If it is not modified
for all possible support the effective
ness of the fighting force cannot be
brought to its highest possible state.
Mobilization of nation means indi-
vldual preparation for active service of
whateverlsort NAV be required. Are
you mobilized2
There is great deal beside fighting
that everyone of US can and must do in
loyal support of our country if the
worst comes and we are forced into war.
First of all we must have the true
national spirit. Our love of country,
our affection for its flag, must be so
genuine and sincere that we are willing
and ready to make any sacrifice to up
hold their dignity, honor and respect.
Personal ambition and opportunity must
be submerged or abandoned if their
pursuit mterferes in the slightest de-
gree with the national interest. Indus
trial service as the government re-
quires it must be as freely given as is
service in the army or navy. Pride of
opinion must be surrendered and obedi-
ence in thought and action be given
unreservedly to the will of the appoint
ed leaders. Individual extravaganza
and waste must be excluded that the
full material strength of the country
may be at the command of the govern
ment. Save and serve must become
voluntarily the motto of every Ameri-
can as it is compulsorily the rule of
every citizen of all the present belli-
gerent countries. Thus will the nobIest
patriotism be typified, the national
spirit be exalted by the highest pitch of
devotion. In action then we will ex-
press that loyalty and fidelity which
were SO stirred on another occasion bv
the words of the noble patriot Stephen
Decatur: "Our country! In her inter
course with foreign nations may she
always be In the right; but our country,
right or wrong"
Happily. none can question the right
eousness of our present attitude toward
Germany. We may not have to exert

GROUNDING RUNS BACK
TO SHELTER
Sees His Shadow and Hurries to
COver-Means Real Winter.

The ground hog saw his shadow. He
came out several times and each time
he was frightened back into his winter
home. He also is reported as having
been seen scampering back into his
underground residence in several subur-
ban places, SO it seems certain, if the
old tradition can be depended upon,
that there will be 40 more days of
winter.
Just to celebrate the ground hog
seeing his shadow, the Weather Mixer
gave Oakland touch of real winter
weather. He managed to get the mer-
curry down next to nothing on Friday.
Saturday morning the mercury in Oak
land read below zero, so winter is not
yet over by any means.

DEMAND FOR FORD CARS
CONTINUES TO INCREASE

The L. w. White company, sole
agents in Abbeville for the Ford
Motor company, has received spe-
cial notice from the factory to the
effect that after certain date in the
near future they will not be allow
ed to carry cars in stock. They must
have bona fide orders for every
car shipped them. The circular
points out that this action is made
necessary by the constantly increas-
ing demand for Ford cars all over
the country, and in spite of the
enormous increase in production of
this well known car, the factories
are barely able to meet the demand
and therefore have no cars for deal
ers to store away for future sale.
So far as the L. w. White COM
pany is concerned the new order will
have very little effect as only once
or twice since it assumed the Ford
agency nearly a year ago has it had
cars on hand that were unsold.
However, those who plan to ride
in a Ford this summer, will do
mighty we'll to talk this matter over
with the 'Abbeville Ford agents right
away. Otherwise they may be dis
appointed.

DR.. NEIL PRESSLY ~.
RETURNS FROM MEXICO

York, March 4.-The Rev. B. G..
Pressly, Of Hickory Grove, received
information Wednesday that his fa-
ther, Rev. Neil E. Pressly, arrived
in Jacksonville, Fla, on Tuesday
from Tampico, Mexico. DR.. Pressly
has been in Mexico az a missionary
of Christ, under the direction Of the
Associate Reformed Church since
1879. During most Of that time he
has lived at Tampico, holding to his
post and helping the natives as well
as Americans all through the fear
full civil and political disturbances
that have been taking place, more
especially during the past five or six
years. He has done fine work in
helping to spread Christianity among
the Mexicans and the regard in
which he is held by them was well
attested in the fact of his being able
to remain at Tampico and hold his
influence at time when most other
Americans had fled from the city.
DR.. Pressly resigned his post last
fall on account of failing health, and
at the last meeting of synod, held
in Yorkville Associated Reformed
Church, the Rev. J. G. Dale was
elected as his successor.
From Jacksonville last Tuesday,
DR.. Pressly went to the home of his
brother, W. B. Pressly, at Seffner,
Fla, to remain there until warm
Mrs. Pressly and daughter
are still in Tampico, Mexico, where
they will remain long enough to set
tie business affairs. The Rev. B. G.
Pressly, Of Hickory Grove, will 60
down to Seffner, Fla, to be with
his father perhaps a month.
