I. {. SOLLARS FOR
COMMISSIONER
Mr.. Friend for House of Dele
gates and !. A. Kelly for Sheriff

The Republican presents today the
names of three new candidates vino
seek to be nominated by the voters of
the Republican Primary Election to be
held in September.
Mr.. Edward E. Sollars, a former
County Treasurer, now one of Garrett
countY's most progressive farmers and
business men, formally announces his
candidacy for County Commissioner, an
office for which he is exceptionally well
qualified. Mr.. Sollars is a resident of
District No. IA where he owns and op-
crates successfully splendid farm; he
is director in the First National Bank
and is highly esteemed by every one
who knows him.
Mr.. j. Alvin Friend, of Sang Run, a
son of the late Rev. D. Harrison
Friend, is candidate for the House of
Delegates. Mr.. Friend is a merchant
at Sang Run and is also farmer. At
one time he was a Supervisor Of Elec-
ton, filling the Office to the satisfaction
OF all. He is well qualified for the po-
stion he seeks.
Mr.. j. A. Kelly, we'll known in many
sections of the county, is the latest as
pirant for the Sheriffalty. For num-
Der of years he was engaged in the
livery business in Oakland having re-
Gently disposed OF his property. Mr..
Kelly, as member of the City Council
of Oakland was efficient in that capac-
ity. With the efficiency dominant he
will no doubt, if nominated and elected,
fill the Office of Sheriff to the entire
satisfaction of all.

BuNCOMB BE

Awaiting ruling by the Supreme
Court, and certain of a ruling as quick
ly as the Supreme Court can reach it,
is law giving the railroad trainmen
more than they could possibly hope to
obtain by strike or by arbitration or
other form of compromise. This coun-
try is on the brink of war and everv
day brings nearer our certain entrance
into it.
If labor leaders. railroad labor leaders
or any other contemplate tying up the
country's commerce from March 81 on
under such circumstances, they have
small idea of the obligations of their
trust or of the force of public indigna-
ton. and very mistaken idea of their
power. We do not believe the Big
Four leaders so blind as to try to pre-
cipitate strike on March 81. But we
know what farce such an attempt
would be. The Big -Four leaders could
call from now till Doomsday for a walk
out; but, with this country on the
brink of war, the men would not obey.

MORE LIGHT ON WAR CONDITIONS

With the return of former Am
bassador Gerard from Berlin, accom-
panied by number of newspaper
spondents who have spent the
whole time of the war in Germany and
other European countries, we are be-
ginning to have frst-hand information
on conditions abroad, especially in
Germany. All confirm the belief that
Germany is hard put to it for food and
that she will face in the next four
months, and until the harvest comes in,
the most crucial period of the whole
war. 1t is distressing picture of
want, starvation and death.
But, while the endurance of the ma
ton is being taxed to the utmost, the
general impression of the correspon-
dents is that Germany will pull through
until relief comes with ripening
harvests. On these everything depends.
If she is visited with another bad
season, the universal Judgment of those
who have witnessed the straits to which
she has come is that she will be ready to
listen to any reasonable terms of peace.
In regard to unrestricted submarine
warfare, the conclusion long ago reach
ed here is confirmed by the returning
Americans. The German people be-
lieve it is the weapon, and the only
weapon, that can snatch victory from
defeat. They are pinning their faith
upon it. If it fails, they are still de-
termined to go to bloody finish and
will still be in position to make the
effort to crush them completely cost the
enemy so heavily that it is not likely to
be attempted.
On one thing there is agreement
among the travellers. It is that the
United States, if she is going into the
war, should prepare to go in with all
her might. 10 depend upon the Entente

MORE PIGS AND CORN

Though men disagree on what is
needful to help next winters food
situation generally. they meet on one
point-the farmers needs must be con-
sidered. And not the farmers of the
great Western ranges but the home
farmer, the farmer of Garrett county
Now, farming is thing that even the
Uniformed of city-bred persons are
always ready to discuss and everyone
has his pet theory as to how conditions
would be bettered if only he were put
in charge. But the noticeable defect
of most of these arguments by amateurs
is their bias; they all talk from the
standpoint of the consumer. When a
great many persons face about and be-
gin to examine the difficulties the
farmer must overcome and get interest
ed in food production from the
producers side, we may be nearer an
equitable distribution of benifts and
burdens in our scheme of living. The
keen interest in gardening and farming
among city and suburban people may
contain the promise of time when the
situation will be relieved somewhat by
q community of interest in which near
by farmers and city consumers will meet
with something approximating under
standing.
City people with their backyard farms
and their country cousins with their
rolling acres both owe it to themselves
and the public to raise more corn. Its
usefulness and variety are too we'll
known to need recounting to the farmer,
but it may be remarked that for fatten-
ing the March and April pigs that are
about right for pork in December The
soft" corn rejected when the crop
was got ready for market, comes IN
handily. For business reasons, these pigs
can't be fed through the winter, but with
hogs around SIS hundred and chops,
sausage and other table delicacies at
famine prices, pigs and corn look like
an inviting venture, even though the
price of pigs in the autumn is much
lower than at other times.
The cost of seed potatoes is certain
to affect planting of that crop, the la
Dor involved in raising and marketing
perishable produce must be considered
by the farmer without capital to employ
enough hands But corn and pigs are
different. If man doesn't want to
hire the labor to dress his. pigs in the fall
he can find IA buyer who will haul them
away on .e hoof at figure justifying
the initial risk. The corn is essential
for the proper autumn finish and as
there hasn't been enough recently the
thing to do is for our neighbors to con-
slider corn and put more of it in.
