Basket Ball.

On Monday evening, February 10,
1917, the fast high school team from
Kitzmiller will play the Oakland high
school boys at the Empire Theatre. The
game will be called at S:l5 sharp.
The Kltzmiller team is composed
again of such star players as Jessie
Walker, Edmond Murphy, Irwin Hart,
William Pew, Alan Smith, FERN Trout
and Ira Jones. These boys have been
playing on the team for three years
and have built up a system of attack
and defense that is exciting.
Kitzmiller has defeated such fast
teams as Keyser High School, Davis,
W. Va, and Piedmont.
Oakland High School will turn out in
a body, almost, and cheer for their
team. 1t will be a classic, royal, to
see the ball pass up the floor and thru
the basket for goal.
Accommodations for 5O0spectators will
be provided. The theatre will be warm
and comfortable for all. Come aud
cheer for the boys.

Library Notice.

At a meeting held in the library
rooms, Tuesday. Feb. 9Th. the follow
ing officers were reelected for the en-
suing year: President, H. A. Lora-
ditch; vice president, Mrs. B. H. Sin
cell; secretary, Mrs. o. A. Bremen;
treasurer, J, E. Harmed.
The Library extends thanks to the
Civic Club for the generous donation of
$50 and to Mrs Lloyd Shaffer and Miss
Cora Frantz for books.
Owing to the existence of a slight
epidemic of scarlet fever in our COM
munlty it was thought advisable not to
distribute books until all danger of con-
taglon was passed.
Notices will be posted in due time
stating when books can be received by
patrons of the Library.

LOST AGAIN!
Oakland's Basket Ball Team Is
Pursued By a Jinx.

The Keyser Preparatory School basket
ball team met and defeated the Oakland
ColleglGns on the local floor last night
by the score of 27-14. The locals were
outclassed in all departments by the
visitors, who displayed fine system of
passing and goal tossing. and Will it
IS true that the home team had more or
less bad luck in shooting for goals, i. is
doubtful if they would have won had
all their shots gone true. What the
locals need and must have, if they are
to become winners is hard and thoro Ugh
practice IN shooting and better team
work. The playing of Rice. who was
substituted for Scott, showed him to be
player of ability and one who should
have regular berth on the team.

Now Engaged In Becoming Ac-
quainted With The People.

Mr.. A. q. Middleton has been ap-
pointed County Agent for Garrett
county. The County Agent is the
agricultural representative Of the State
of Maryland and the United States. He
will arrange for demonstrations of
modern farm methods, assist IN organic
ing farmers, and supervise boys and
girls farm clubs.
within the next week or two every
county in the State Of Maryland viii
have County Agent. The farmers of
Maryland are very fortunate in this
respect, for that will make their state
the first state in the United States to
be so well taken care of. 1t will place
MARYLAND in the foreground of progress
sive farming. MIR. Afford, the state
agent, tells US that Garrett county has
the best farming prospects of any
county in the State.
The County Agent is here to help the
farmer in any way that he can to de-
velop these prospects. His head
quarters are in the court house at Oak
land. The duties of the County Agent
are largely determined by the farmers
themselves. In order to get results
the farmers of the various districts
should organize in some way or other.
They can then make known their wants
and overcome their difficulties.
In connection with the above, Mr..
Middleton desires US to announce that
he will hold a meeting of the farmers
OF this section in the Court House next
Saturday morning, Feb. II, at 1920

the county. It's earnestly hoped that
every farmer who is in town on that
date will attend the meeting. In this
connection it is well to explain that the
meeting is open to everybody interest
ed in agriculture, whether farmers or
not.
Mr. Middleton is very anxious to
meet and get acquainted with as many
of our farmers as possible, so that he

PERMANENT PEACE
Is The Object in View by a

invitations have been sent to pre- M

IN the counties to subscribeIto a dinner
on the evening of February 22nd at the
Hotel Belvedere. Baltimore, under the
auspices of the Maryland Branch of the
League to Enforce Peace, world wide
organization which has as its object the
establishment of permanent peace at
the close of the war now raging in
Europe. 1t is not a pacifist organiza-
ton. On the contrary it proposes to
bring all nations into a compact by
which there will be a resort to
force, if necessary, to compel a ma
ton or alliance of nations to abide
by arbitration awards, thus saving
other nations from possibilities of
being drawn into war and from the
many hardships inflicted upon ma
