RED CROSS DAY
Garrett County Fair Will Donate
One-half to Causes.

At recent meeting of the board Of
directors of the FAIR Association it was
ordered that the first day of the fair be
made Red Cross Day and that one half
of the receipts from the sale of tickets
be given to the Red Cross.
Tickets will be furnished to each local
branch of the Red Cross organization in
the county. They will sell the tickets
and forward one half OF the receipts to
the Secretary of the Fair Association
and turn the other half into the branch
treasury.
One-half of the money taken in at
the gates will also be given to the Red
Cross.
Let rousing effort be made to swell
the receipts of this noble organization
by the sale of large number of tickets.
The program for Red Cross Day
will be made especially attractive.
There is every indication that the fair
of 1918 will excel in every respect all
former fairs.
The women's department promises to
be unusually attractive. The indica-
tons are that there will be a splendid
crop of fruits and berries of all kind
and this means good exhibit of canned
fruits.

INJURED AT GRANTSVILLE
Daughter of DIR. Bowen Struck By
aPassing Automobile Sunday.

At GrantsyiIle on Sunday morning last
a most distressing accident occurred
when the little eight-year old daughter
of DR.. and Mrs. R. C. Bowen vas struck
by the fender of an automobile owned
and driven by Jacob Swartzentruber, of
near Oakland, whereby the little girl
was rendered unconscious and remained
in such state until Tuesday when indica-
tons became apparent that she was
regaining consciousness.
According to eye-witnesses the ma
chine was being carefully driven. When
the child attempted to cross the road
way her attention was attracted by the
approach of two motor cycles and in
avoiding them she stepped directly in
front of the Swartzentruber car, the
fender of which struck her on the
temple. The driver of the car brought
his machine to standstill as quickly as
possible and rendered what aid he
could.
An examination made by a surgeon
called for the purpose from Cumber-
land failed to disclose any injury aside
from the bruise on her head and slight
abrasion on her leg.

THE TUsCANIA's DEAD.

Comrades, beneath our British waters
sleeping,
To whom death came thus early on
the tide,
There comes to us sound of wo-
mems weeping
For those in whom we share their
country's pride,
You struck no blow in that high
cause you cherished
While day by day you learned Tie
soldiers trade.
Yet was your task accomplished
when you persisted,
Calm-eyed and undismayed.
Not yours to know the joy of high
endeavour
Amid the crash and thunder of
our war;
Nour weapons yet unsheathed you
rest for ever
And home and kin shall know
your light no more.
But in our Utmost hearts is writ
your story,
Nor pride of place nor honour
shall you yield
To those who yet shall win the
crown OF glory
On some victorious field.
And to the hearts whose pride it is
to render
Their best and dearest in these
cruel days
There speeds message infinitely
tender
From us who know the price that
freedom pays.
We knew you not, whose hearts
were strong to aid us,
But let the manner of your pas
sing tell
Our common kinship to the sires
that made us.
Hail, brothers, and farewell.
