 A messenger of love between
 Our human hearts and thee"

Bronchial coughs, tickling in throat and asthmatic spasms break ones rest and weaken one so that the system is rundown and serious sickness may result.

The first bottle of Foley's Honey and Tar relieved me, entirely curing my cough" It covers irritated mem branes with a healing and soothing coating, loosens phlegm and clears air passages.-Freeman Dempsey, dealer.-ady.

BOGUS PATRIOTISM.

In one days news budget last week, a
report of an Ohio mob dragging sus-
pected pro-Germans from their beds,
an Illinois mob hanging another Ger
man. while Texas mob publicly whip
ped man who was said to have made
unpatriotic utterances.
1t is cheap sort of patriotism that
leads men to such acts. If their vic
TINS are guilty, the courts and the law
are always ready to deal with them. If
they are innocent, as may will be the
case, they are victims of cruel wrong.
Mobs are almost invariably moved by
passion and act on impulse, hence JUS
tlce is improbable wher1 these evils
have sway.
The men composing these mobs could
have rendered better service to their
country by laying orderly complaints
before the officers of the law. Their
violent actions discredit popular goy-
eminent. Every time an American
mob shows its contempt for law it helps
to perpetuate the kaiser's autocracy in
Germany.

DAVIS ELKiNS FOR UNITED STATES
SENATOR,

Just across the line, our West Vir-
ginia neighbors are entering upon
campaign that will most likely be long
remembered by them.
Several aspirants have announced
themselves as candidates for the Re-
publican nomination for the United
States Senatorship, among whom is
Hon. Davis Elkins, at present major
in the Army. Davis Elkins is worthy
son of a worthy sire. His father, the
late Senator Stephen B. Elkins. long
represented West Virginia in the upper
branch of Congress, and it is unneces-
sary to say that he well and ably up
held and defended not only the princi-
piles of the Republican party but every
interest of the government that de-
manded his attention.
Davis Elkins, the son, who succeeded
his father and filled out the latter's un-
expired term, now seeks at his party's
hands the honor of again representing
his State in the Senate, and those of US
in Garrett county who know him, as
well as the stock from which he comes,
wish him we'll and call upon our neigh
bors and friends to the south and west
of US in our sister State to stand for
him and nominate and elect him.
We know Davis Elkins we'll enough
to be able to say that he is true to his
friends and generous with his enemies,
fights in the open, fights fair, but
fights to win.
West Virginia Republicans can do no
better than to support DAVIS Elkins.

X. of p. Notes.

Garrett Lodge No. 113, Knights Of
Pythias, held another excellent meet
ing on last Friday evening. We are
having such fine meetings and such an
excellent Pythian spirit is being mani
tested IN our lodge work, that it is good
to be present. Many of our old stand
bys have been attending recently, and
if they will only renew their interest
with the new members who are help
ing to push things along, we will have
something doing at every meeting.
The main feature of the meeting was
the comforting of the Rank of Page on
two applicants.
Garrett Lodge feels very proud, as it
is now represented in the Grand Lodge
of Maryland. Brother j. C. Rennlnger
was officially installed Grand Prelate,
Yesterday Wednesday IN Baltimore,
where the Grand Lodge met Tuesday
and Wednesday. A number of the
members accompanied Brother Rennin-
ger to Baltimore, the trip being made
overland by automobile.
On Friday evening, April 18th, we
will confer the Rank of Esquire on two
Pages. We want every Pythian pos
sible to be present. Don't forget
come to Lodge Friday night.

School Attendance Law Being
Enforced.

The principal of the Oakland Gram
mar school recently put new lite IN the
state compulsory school attendance law
by swearing out warrants for parents
who had neglected to have their child
ren attend the Grammar school in ac-
cordance with the requirements of the
school attendance law. He was sue
cessful in each prosecution.
This is an entirely new departure in
the enforcement of this law, for with
this precedent any teacher or princi-
pal of school in the county may pro-
coed against any parent CT guardian
for keeping children out of school
Illegally.

THE SCHOOL BUDGET

The Board of Education of this county
has submitted to the Board of County
Commissioners a detailed budget of
school expenditures for the next school
year, the same to be provided for by
the Board of County Commissioners
when it lays the county levy next week.
We recognize that the commissioners
can not grant all the requests for
the raising of finds that are
made upon it, but there is none
more worthy.than the one that calls for
the proper maintenance of our public
school system, and the request of the
Board of Education, with its many re-
sponsibilities, should be given unusual
recognition.
The school authorities, like all other
authorities in these unusual times, are
passing through a period of unusual de-
mands for greater expenditures, but we
hope that no economies shall result that
in any measure may lover our school
standards. We hope the necessary
funds can be raised to continue the pro-
gress of our schools, reaching as they
do every family in the country. We
must not permit the burdens of this
World War to. be thrust upon our bows
and girls in the form of an impaired
school system;I furthermore, we all
recognize that the money that is raised
by taxation for our schools stays here
at home among our own people, and
that is one of the reasons that the
people generally look with favor upon
school taxes and it is point that should
be carefully observed when we hesitate
to raise the necessary funds for the
proper supporter our schools.
All the principles we are now fight
ing for in Europe will end in nothing if
we do not have boys and girls to whom
we may leave those principles who are
intelligent and who are determined to
transmit them unimpaired to their pos
terity. The days of reconstruction will
soon be upon US and the rising genera
ton should be highly trained to deal
with those problems of reconstruction
in way that will end for the glory and
progress of our people.
The best men and the best women
whom money can secure should be in
charge of our schools now as never be-
fore. Heretofore we have been too
content as people with things as they
