Garrett Countian Wins Success

Mr.. Henry NJ. Speicner, of Acct
dent, who is the local representative
of The Mutual Life Insurance Com
pany of New York, has won the dis
tinction of being sent to the annual
convention of what is known as the
Hundred Thousand Club Of that COM
pany, which will meet at Atlantic City
during the coming summer.
Most of the great American life in
surance companies hold these con-
ventions, which are participated in by
such representatives who produce in
surance of 100000 during the year.
The Mutual Life club year runs
from May l to April 30, and Mr.
Speicher's achievement is the more
creditable because of the fact that
ne did not enter the insurance field
until last July, more than two months
after other agents had begun theil
race. Notwithstanding this handi-
cap he successfully crossed the wire
in a little more than nine months
passing the hundred thousand mari

SOLDIERS RETURNING
Nearly Every Day Some Get Back to
their Native Heath in Garrett

Many more soldiers have recently
returned to their homes in various
parts of the county, among the latest
arrivals being Private Walter Haent-
fling, of Accident, who came to Oak
land on last Saturday morning and
Immediately went on to his old home
down in the county. Private Haent-
fling was one among the first of the
Garrett countians to see foreign SER
vice and it will be remembered by the
readers of The Republican that in a
letter published in these columns last
winter he gave a good account of him.
self in action against the enemy.
Another local soldier who is we'll
known to all the towns people as well
as to many residing out of town who
recently returned from overseas is
Private Francis Shaffer, of Oakland,
who enlisted in the motor transport
service, and after receiving the prop
er army training at a camp in this
country was sent over with his regi-
ment and was actively engaged for
many months in that branch of the
service.
On Tuesday morning of this week
Sergeant Benny Bissett arrived in
Oakland from an eastern port, bring
ing with him his honorable discharge
from the army. After a brief visit
to relatives in Oakland he expects to
go to Oklahoma and enter upon work
in the oil fields of that section of the
country.

CANDIDATES NUMEROUS
Two are Out for Commissioner and
One for High Sheriff

The candidate business in Garrett
county, among the Republicans only,
has taken shdden upward tendency
on the market with the result that in
the advertising columns of The Re-
publican today appears the announce
ments of three brand new candidates
who seek honors at the hands of their
party friends.
Mr.. George Warwick, at present a
member of the Board of Commission
ers, who has made a splendid public
official, devoting much of his time to
study of the road and public school
needs of the county, is one of the can
didates for nomination at the polls of
the Republican primary election when
it is held in September. Mr.. War
nick comes before the people upon his
record as public official in that he
has been faithful to the people of
the county and has discharged the
duties of the Office honestly and to
the best of his ability.
Mr.. Josiah G. Friend, of District
No. l, is the other candidate for the
nomination for County Commission
er. Mr.. Friend was a candidate two
years ago and received a very hand
some vote at the polls. Mr.. Friend is
good bushes man and splendid
farmer. In his announcement he
states that he is favorable to the
building of permanent roads so far
as this program does not detract from
other equally necessary and pressing
demands upon the resources of the
residents and taxpayers of the coun-
ty.
Mr.. Jacob Stump, former County
Commissioner, is the candidate to an
nounce himself in this paper today
for the nomination as the Republican
Sheriff on the regular ticket to be
voted for at the election to be held
in November. AS a Commissioner
Mr.. Stump discharged his duties well
and for number of years past has
been seriously considering becoming
a candidate for the office which he
now seeks. Mr.. Stump is a resident
of Bloomington, having been until
recently the postmaster at that place
but resigned.

ACCIDENT POSTOFFICE ROBBED
Postage and War Savings Stamps and
Some Cash Carried Away.

Last night thieves gained entrance
to the postoffice at Accident by fore
ing a rear window in the building
when they robbed the cash register
of about 50 in pennies and other small
change, besides obtainig stamps to
the value of $110.
In the cash register were number
of war savings stamps, $50 worth be-
longing to the sons of Postmaster
Giles and 500 worth the property of
Lyman and Anna Frazee. These
were also carried off.
The thieves left no trace as to their
identity, but determined effort is
being made to locate them by the
state officials.

Demands Made on President That He
Compel Resignation of PM. General
Washington, May 9Th. Assailed on
every hand as incompetent, autocratic
and unfair. Postmaster General Burle-
son has entered into a bitter fight
against labor and the publ: press
which seems likely to remove him from
Office in the near future. either by en-
forced resignation or impeachment pro-
ceedings.
Samuel Gompefs, head of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, declares that
Burlestn has pursued Fan archaic,
autocratic policy IN the conduct of the
postal, telephone and telegraph SER
vices of the United States" and Unjust
walk the plank sooner or later. This
as the result of the Postmaster Gener-
ais declaration that he will not permit
the method of collective bargaining
adopted by former President TAFT in
his joint conduct of the War Labor
Board to the general satisfaction of
both labor and capital
Gompers' attitude is also caused
partly by the evidence proven on the
floor of the House that Burleson and
his brother-in-law entered into a con-
tract with the State penitentiary of
Texas for the use of convict labor on
the farm owned by them, they to take
40 per cent. of the profits and the State
60 per cent. While the convlcts so en-
ployed were white and Mexican. it was
stipulated in the contract that they
were ito consist of that class of con-
victs who, because of youth, old age or
some physical infirmity, are not suited
for contract farms or railroad work. !"
One of these was punished with
eighteen ticks" from straps five feet
long fastened to a short handle of
wood.
At its convention the American Fed
Grafton of Labor condemned the-tyranny
exercised by Burleson toward the postal
employees. Other charges against him
are that he seized the cables without
authority OF law, in order to augment
his power; that he has attempted &c
ruin the Postal Telegraph for the bene-
fit of the Western Union; that he has
neglected his duties in order to drive
Congress into line for the administra,
ton; that he has attempted to make
the postal service beehive of politica
rather than business activity; that he il

Stop Losing Chicks from Diarrhoea.
Put This In the Drinking Water

Some people lose half of every
hatch, and seem to expect it. Chick
cholera or white diarrhoea is the
trouble. This loss is needless and
easily stopped by putting Avicol in
the drinking water. We prove it by
this ocer: Call at our store for a
25c. or SOC. package of Avicol. If
you don't find that it promptly stops
your chicks dying, cures white diar-
rhoea, blackhead in turkeys and all
other bowel diseases of poultry, your
money will be refunded.
Avicol reviyes the dropping chicks
and helps them grow and develop rap
idly. Shows positive results in AZ
hours. Easily used and inexpensive.

VOCATIONAL TRAINING
FOR DISABLED SOLDIERS
Representative of Federal Board Was
Here to Make Known Advantages

Here to Make Known Advantages
Mr.. E. L. Furman, representing the
Federal Board for vocational training
among disabled soldiers, sailors and
marines, was in Oakland on Monday
for the purpose of acquanting local
citizens and returned service men
with the advantages offered by the
United States Government. Mr.. Fur
man remained here until Tuesday
morning when he went to Cumberland
to carry out his mission among the
people of Allegany county, but ex-
poets to return here within a month
or little more as he failed to see
many of the soldiers who have re-
turned to their homes in the county
and who are entitled to participate
in the advantages offered by the Fed
eral government along the lines of
vocational education and training as
proposed and is being carried out in
hundreds of instances in many parts
of the country, and all to the advan-
tage of those who have been incapac-
itated, through the fortunes of war,
to earn livelihood by the methods
pursued by them prior to their en-
trance into the service.
A great number of the soldiers who
have been wounded or contracted dis
eases while in the service, are so ex-
tremely anxious to return home that
they neglect to file claims for COM
pensation when they receive their dis
charge, consequently they do not re-
ceive any. Perhaps these young men
are disabled to the extent that they
cannot return to their former occu-
patton. In this case they are offered
splendid opportunity by the Federal
Board to prepare themselves for some
vocation. Mr. Furman explains that
the boys may obtain compensation
from the Bureau of War Risk Insur-
ance and also have themselves placed
in school where they may learn any
trade to which their inclination may
point. There are more than four hum
bred different trades taught in schools
in all sections of the United States
to ex-service men. During the en-
tire time the men are taking the in
struction they receive $50 per month
IL g Nov. Dicly Iy1s
ance and S35 per month from the
Federal Board. If man is married
his allowanc is increased according to
the size of his family or number Of
dependents.
The Home Service Section of the
American Red Cross will get in touch
with disabled returned soldiers and
place them in the school where they
belong. However, this offer By the
Government is not compulsory, each
man having the right to accept or re-
ject, as he chooses.
In order to secure compensation, it
is necessary for the applicant to sub
nit to the Bureau of War Risk Insur-
ance a certified copy of his discharge
and certificate of examination from
a qualified surgeon or physician tell
ing of his defects.
Mr.. A. T. Matthews, of Oakland,
has taken considerable interest in the
matter and has on hand the required
blank forms which are necessary to
be filed out preliminary to receiving
the benefits offered as above set forth.
