COAL. !!
Selling Regulations

Government regulation means thai
many OF the privileges that have
heretofore been accorded their pat
rons by the local dealers must be cut
off. The statement of the dealers is
as follows:
THE United States Government
having taken over the control of the
coal business, including the fixing OF
prices and regulation OF its distribu
ton, we, the coal distributing
agents OF Bennington, desire to have
our patrons informed as to he re
strictions and recommendations
made by the State Fuel Administra
tor. ~
~The present prices charged fol
coal in bennington have been ap
proved until such time as the FEEDER
al Government shall determine and
fix q price.
All coal is shipped to us at price
fixed by the Government ard is TO DC
sold at cash price also fixed by the
Government
IN fixing the cash price the Gov
eminent has decided TO allow the
dealer no expense margin for bad
debts" or for the booking and handl
ing of accounts. The delivery costs
are based on maximum loads at the
sidewalk or Observation-Disclosures.
In view of the above, it will there
fore be necessary for us to sell coal
on a cash basis and to make n charge
for carrying coal, also an extra haul
ing charge for long distances and fol-
steep grades where II is impossible
to haul full loads
In the matter of churches
schools, libraries. manufacturing
plants, hospitals, municipal buildings
etc. whose bills II is customary to
approve once a month, we viii, make
deliveries on terms of 80 days
1t will be our aim 20 sersC the
public at all times TO the very best
OF our ability and we ask that the
public cooperate With lis by seeing
that either cash accompanies order
or is paid to the driver on delivery
inorder to avoid confusion

WHY NOT SPEICHER?
Mr.. Charles A. Moon, of No. 8,
Presents His Views.
the Editor 81 He RepubIican:

/ To the Editor of The Republican;
wish to ask the space for few lines
in your columns.
Having noticed few articles in the
past issues regarding the prospective
next Senatorial candidate Hon. H. ].
Speicher, permit me to say that the
man in question has merited all that
has been given HIM in these articles and
more.
Just at this time think the voters of
Garrett county could do nothing better
or wiser than to heartily insist upon him
serving us again at Annapolis. His
past record and services have eminentlv
qualified him for giving US even better
legislation tor the future
These are DAYS of hard testing for a
public official and we might feel our
selves highly complimented in Obtain
ing him as our representative. Mr..
Speicher wishes to retire but | think
that he will sacrifice his own will and
preference in this matter to crafty his
friends once again.
Mr.. Speicher' trustworthness gives
one no disposition to be i'll at ease re-
garding any of the fundamentals bear
ing upon the citizens of Garrett county.
He has proven himself master in logic
and augmentation; SO much so that
few dare raise opposition on the floor
to his requests. His influence in the
Senate will mean much in several ways
First, we will have a man of unequal
ed experience; second man capable of
doing things of account and a man in
whom his colleagues repose utmost con-
fidence. He is a man that summonses
the support of all by his personality and
shows people he has the ability to finish
a worthy fight as we'll as to start 1t.
Now is the time for action This is
no child's play. This is no time for
guess work or experimentation in the
life of our commonwealth. 1t would be
hazardous for US not to select him in
this grave crisis, as our representative,
for he is in touch with the affairs
of both county ard state, and will not
use his strength in useless way; there
by making himself jest and his work
fit of confusion for the entire Senate
chamber
We can feel confident that he will
give his energy to things worth while
and, that his accomplishments will
swell our hearts with pride because of
the achievements wrought by our cleo.
tor. How can the citizens of Garrett
county in the face of the past record
and his intention to secure the best
measures conducive to the best health
of the commonwealth in general refuse
him support? Nay verify, it is IN
thinkable to Garrett county's sons.

NUMBER OF MEN
REMAINSAT1 45
Adjutant General Insists That
This Countys Quota Is Correct

Adjutant General Warfeld, replying
to Clerk Towers letter which was pub
lished in these columns last week and
in which Mr.. Tower showed conclusive
~ that the quota of 145 men for army
service from Garrett county was too
high, stated that the local man was
right in a certain point but that he had
not taken into consideration calcula-
tons based upon the total number for
the entire state and referred the local
board to the Presidents proclamation.
After giving Garrett county credit
for thirty-one men who had enlisted
previously the Adjutant General re-
quires that the county furnish 145 men
making this county's quota
17G.
Upon this basis. unless otherwise
ordered, the local board will mail
notices tomorrow to 29O men, those
whose names appeared in the list pub
lished in last weeks Republican being
taken in rotation. Ninety-six must be
present on Wednesday next, like
number on Thursday and on Friday SO
will report for examination.

A Practice That Should Be
Stopped.

The practice of throwing stones
should be stopped. If there is a city
ordinance respecting this habit it should
be rigidly enforced. Some time ago the
funeral car of d. E. Bolden was com
ing down Liberty street, on return
trip, when a group Of youngsters threw
stones at the machine One of the
missiles entered the side door and went
flying back through the body of the
hearse. If the stone had struck the
glass windows or the windshield, the
extent of the disaster can not be i'm
agined. This same experience hap
pened to one of our prominent citizens
just few days ago.
While driving along the State high
way on Monday night with a party of
friends, Rev. w. NJ. Shultz, pastor Of
the local Methodist, church was struck
by flying missile, presumably thrown
by some boy, because of its position
when found in the car it could not have
been picked up by the wheels Of the
car. Outside of being severly stunned
and little scared Mr.. Shultz suffered
little from his experience. But when
we think Of what might have been we
feel as though VIC ought to give vent to
our feelings OF righteous indignation
and punish the evil doer.
Not only is stone throwing a menace
to the safety of pedestrians and motor
lists, but ball playing on the streets as
well. We understand there is an or
dinance prohibiting ball playing on the
streets and why should it not be en-
forced? Perhaps after some child or
even grown person is seriously hurt or
some valuable property DESTROYED it
will be. But who will pay for the loss
and suffering? Let US practice safety
first as well as preach it.

SUNDAY MISHAPS
ON STATE ROAD
Occupants of Two Cars Have
Miraculous Escape.

Both cars were completely demolish-

Foster Friend, of FriendsYille, crashed

time to prevent it from gong over a

Mr.. Charles Speicher, of Accident,
while driving a Ford car on the maca-

FROM A SOLDIER BOY
Leo Lyon, Fort OglethOrpe, Ga,
Writes His Pastor in Oakland.

Leo Lyon, who enlisted recently and
was detailed as member Of the Hos
pital Corps and stationed at Fort OgIe-
thorpe, Ga, wrote the following letter
to his pastor, the Rev. W. NJ. Shultz,
in Oakland, which The Republican is
privileged to publish:
DEAR REv:-Your letter received at
last, and letter is one thing soldier
sure-does appreciate. We are all to-
gether, Curry, Dawson and HelbIg and
so it is not near so lonesome as if we
were among strangers and make things
as bright as we can, but Rev. we sure
do look back those 900 miles to dear old
home sometimes, and still have several
thousand miles to go yet. But we hope
to be safe whatever may happen, for
war prospects get worse every day. We
always remember our Sunday school
hour and go to church every Sunday in
camp.
| will earnestly try to follow your
COED ADVICE, hope that our good master
will hasten the time when peace will
rule again. Give my regards to my S.

you again. Do you ever 90 cut to see

nent farmer and fioriculturaIist of near
Cumberland, was found in a pool of
water on his farm yesterday by his son.

ties in Cumberland was that Mr.. Bopp
had suffered heart attack and falling
face downward in the water, which was
about two feet deep, was drowned. He
was a brother Of Mrs. Henry Weber of
Oakland.

Marriage No Test of Variability

Marriage will in itself be no test of
a mans availability for military serv-
ice, the Office of the provost marshal
general announced today.
The only test of the married mans
availability will be whether or not his
call for service will throw dependents
on the state. Its even possible that
this may be eliminated. Congress has
been asked to cast a bill caring fer
soldiers wives as is done in England
