OAKLAND SCHOOL
COMMANDMENTS
Oakland High and Grammar
Schools Have Graduation and
Promotion Exercises.

Last Sunday evening marked the be-
ginning of the present school year in
Oakland. On that evening the class of
1917 of the Oakland High School at
tended St. Paul's NJ. E. church in a
body, and listened to the baccaaureate
sermon preached by Rev. w. NJ.
Shultz, which was a mastery effort
and contained good advice in abundance,
which, if needed by the youthful hear
ers for whose benefit it was given, can
not fail to produce results
On Monday evening the First Annual
Promotion Exercises of the Oakland
Grammar school were held in the
Maryland Theatre, a very interesting
and entertaining program being rem
dered by those pupils who have earned
promotion to the High School, in which
they were assisted by a number of
others. Those taking part were Emer-
son Cross, Rebeccs Naylor, Marie
Stanton, Scott Shirer and Mary Martin,
on behalf of those promoted to High
School and Arthur Townshend, on be-
half Of those who reached the seventh
grade. Miss Eleanor limbaugh rem
dered several piano solos, and the ad-
dress was made by U. S. Wright, of
Mt. Lake Park. Mr.. James D. Hamill,
president Of the District Board Of
Trustees, presented the certificates.
Wednesday evening the Glass Exer-
cises of the High School graduates were
held in the Maryland Theatre, and were
highly amusing, as well as entertaining.
Those taking part on behalf of the
class were Charles Garrett, Winifred
Werner, Mildred Dixon, Ada Fahey,
Julius Llttman, Pauline Jones, Beulah
Ralston, Helena Marquis, and Carrie
Mann, assisted by the other members
/ in the rendition of several songs, one
composed by Miss Lillian Helbig as a
song OF welcome, and one by Miss
Mabel White as farewell. The Class
Poem, Glass Prophecy, Glass Will and
Donations were especially amusing.
and in the two latter the students took
advantage of a good opportunity to
get back" at the faculty for making
them grind" so during the school
terms. The members of the faculty
accepted the bequeaths and gifts with
good spirit, and were probably as
amused as the class and audience. In all
it was very nice entertainment.
Tonight the graduating exercises will
be held at clock, at which time a
fine program will be rendered and
diplomas presented to the class.

ZIHLMAN SAYS BILL UNJUST
House Revenue Measure Unscien-
tific, Discriminatory and In
equitable He Saws.

Congressman F. N. Zihlman in ex-
planning why he opposed the revenue
bill in the House Wednesday, said:
81 voted against the Revenue Bill
as protest against what l considered
its unjust and inequitable features. l
am not in favor of placing the entire
burden of this war on the American
people in the form of taxes, as is pro-
vided in the bill, and favor bond is
sues to meet the needs of the emerg-
ency in part at least. While | admit
there is need of large sums of money
to carry on the war, | fail to see the
logic of taxing the necessaries of life
and placing an even heavier burden at
this time on the people who are already
grooming under the enormous cost of
food stuff and clothing.
"While all revenue measures must
originate in the House, and it is nee
essary that we place before the Sen
ate bill raising the money for carry
ing on the war, yet do not believe we
are justified in passing oyer to the
other legislative branch of the govern
ment, a bill which we hastily drew
and which a majority of the members
of the House admit is uuscientific,
discriminatory and inequitable in the
hope that the Senate Ia its wisdom
will evolve from it measure admit
tedly unfair to the American people,
a fair, just and equitable law. To do
this puts US in a position of admit
ting our Incompetence to intelligently
deal with the problems of the war.
Il do not believe the Senate will
seriously consider passing the meas
ure in its present form, and l trust
that we may yet have an opportunity to
meet the needs of this hour by a more
just and equitable measure.
MANY of the direct taxes levied by
this bill will be passed on to the con-
sumer and will be placed on the shout
ders of the poorer classes who are al
ready struggling with the problems
OF high markets, and who will be call
ed upon to give their very life's blood
to the cause of the nation.

GRAVES STREWN
With BLOSSOMS
Yesterday When Memorial Day
Was Observed in Oakland.

The thinned ranks Of the veterans OF
the CIVIL War in their Memorial Day
observance in Oakland, were very ma
teriallY augmented yesterday by the
pupils of the Oakland High and Gram
mar Schools, the members OF the
Knights Of Pgthias and representatives
of her organizations who. marched to
martial music furnished by McIlwee's
Military band of KeYser, which organi-
cation was brought to Oakland by the
citizens of the town through popular
subscription, and the money and energy
expended by the committee having the
affair in hand is not regretted.
The parade was formed at the Mary
land Theatre from whence the High
School students and the Knights of
Pythias lodge with the band leading
two automobiles IN which rode but
seven of the survivors Of the great con-
flct, marched up Second street where
pupils of the Grammar school joined
the procession, and proceeded 20 the
cemetery where the graves of the de-
parted soldiers and members of the
various organizations were decorated
with the choicest of flowers. Here
Rev. DR.. J. C. Ely, pastor of the Pres
byterian church, and Rev. W. NJ.
Shultz, pastor of the Methodist church,
made patriotic addresses to a crowd of
people yariously estimated at fifteen
hundred to two thousand. The addresses
were attentlvely listened to and were
delivered most impressiveIy by the
speakers.
In addition to the above nearly every
grave in the cemetery bore a silent but
beautiful tribute from surviving
friend of that one beneath the sod. The
city of the dead never looked more
beautiful.
In the afternoon base ball game was
played by two mines composed of Oak
land boys and several members of the
Fourth Maryland who are on guard
duty at the Youghiogheny bridge. The
score at the end of the game stood 6-3
in favor of the regularly organized nine.
In the evening the visiting band gave
one of its popular open-air concerts at
the Court House square. A large num-
Der OF Automobiles from a distance
motored to town to hear the music and
they returned home well pleased with
the entertainment thus afforded.

FIVE ENLISTMENTS
Oakland Contributes Additional
Number For The War.

Oakland, for town of its size, has
probably contributed more OF its young
manhood to. the war than any other
town in the country. Already quite a
number have gone from here to join
various farms of the service, and
this morning witnessed the departure OF
four more who will become engineers.
They expect to be joined at Cumber-
land by another Oakland boy who has
been at Akron, Ohio, for the past
several months, who will accompany
them to Columbus, Ohio, where they
will be assigned.
The four leaving today are Edward
Chance, Percy Thayer, John Little and
Harry Turney, all having enlisted at
Cumberland on Monday where they
passed the physical examination for
service in the engineering corps. They
will be joined at Cumberland today by
Preston DeBerrY, son of Mr.. and Mrs.
Clark DeBerry. He has been at Akron,
OHiO, SlnCS HIS return hum lhS al
west several months ago.
Norman Reidler, of Oakland. who
was accepted one day last week as a
musician, left on Monday for Columbus,
where he will Join one of the military
bands stationed in that city.
There are a number of other young
men who contemplate going to Cumber-
land or other points in the State where
recruiting. offices are open, for the pur-
pose Of enhsting before Registration
day on the 9Th of June, as after that
date the Offices will be closed and the
draft will be put into effect.
Garrett county has sent great
many boys to the army whose names
and addresses should be preserved, and
to this end The Republican requests
that the names of such with their home
postoffice address as well as the branch
of the army or navy to which they
have been assigned, be sent to this
Office at once, as a roster is in course
of preparation and will be printed as
soon as the information above request
ed has been received.

WANTS RECRUITS
Lieutenant George Henderson
Will Be In Oakland Monday
to Enlist Men.

The following communication is self
explanatory and is given space in the
hope that some Garrett county boys
may take advantage OF the opportunity
to enlist
CUMBERLAND, Md, May 20, 1911.
To the Editor of The Republican,
Oakland, Maryland.
l take little space in your paper in
order to ask for recruits for Company
&c, " for the First Regiment, Mary
land National Guard. We have been
authorized to enlist men from Garrett
county, therefore we are arranging to
give an opportunity for men in Garrett
county who are willing to stand by our
Country in this hour of trial to enlist,
On Monday June 4th, at 10 a. m. First
Lieutenant George Henderson will be
at the Court House in Oakland TO re-
cruit men for Company &c" Able
bodied men between the ages Of Is and
40 may apply, but those under q must
have the written consent of their par
ents or guardian before they can be &C
cepted for service.
The First Regiment is made up Of
men living outside of Baltimore City.
Men who wish to go together should
take this last opportunity, as those who
are drafted will not have a chance to
pick the organization they wish to go
with. l need only call attention to the
advantages of being with friends or
belonging to Company which has had
the benefit of training on the Mexican
Border.
We will be ordered into Federal Ser
vice about the middle of July, this will
give men who join now short time be-
fore they are called into active service.
Do not let Garrett county drop be-
hind the rest of the State in the Ma
tion's service. The President is calling
men to the Colors. Let Garrett county
prove that she still has men as brave as
those who have in times past fought to
uphold the Couutry's honor.
Yours very truly,

Commanding Company &c, "

HIS BIRTHDAY.

If our son Guy had lived till today
October I'D he would have been 16
years old, but God saw wise after his
having suffered from last April
through the long hot summer months
III the weather began to change for
winter, that he dispatched an angel
down to his room about p. M, Thurs
day, September 20, to take him home.
In our imagination, as we watched
the end nearing, we saw Guy look up
for a few moments, as If he heard
voice saying. Guy, you have suffered
long and have been kind, you have
been patient and forebearing, you
have been fearless and heroic, you
have prayed and believed. you have
shouted glory and hallelujah, you have
called papa and mamma many times
TO help you up, but now thy sweet
spirit. I will take unto myself, just
close your eye lids down and let this
old tenant of clay (which is badly
disease) recede back 10 mother eartn
again. Watching the eye lids close
down tight. we stood around in sor-
row and grief. with eyes fixed upon
the face of our dear boy as life had
become extinct; we noticed after a
few moments pause that there was
supernsl smile placed upon his life,
(such as no one present ever witness
ed before) which remained for few
moments and disappeared. indicating
to us that a heavenly messenger had
returned again informing us hiatt Guy
was happy at home.
OH how hard we tried to save him
Prayers and tears were all IN vain,
Happy angels came and bore him
From this world of toll and pain.

paying during the past 30 days.
The shortage is due, the admin

public, outside of few loyal homes,
to reduce consumption and to un-
usual exports to France in order
that the reach people may have their
