WHO WILL FIND THE
TREASURE, BOYS?
Big Hunt and Other Doings
Scheduled For Next
Saturday

Every normal red-blooded boy
between the ages of 10 and Is is
instinctively hunter. He delights
in stalking imaginary big game and
engaging in mortal combat with
the imaginary foes Of his historic
ancestors. He posters his timid
mother to use her influence with
secretly sympathetic dad to pur-
chase a gun-and sometimes gets
ito the dismay of the dogs and
cats and the fearful maiden aunts.
And hunt for hidden treasure |!
That's something to dream about
and look forward to with wide-eyed
expectancy. Small wonderthen that
all Boydom is interested in the Y.
M. C. A. announcement. "Who will
find the Treasure? Go down De-
pot road from Delaware Ave-, to
the first road running off to the

Industries In No I'm
mediate Danger
Of Shutdown
coal Supply Will Last Until New Year
Big Mills Prepared to Meet Acute
Fuel Situation

A persistent rumor has been
going the rounds for several days
to the effect that the industries
of the town would be forced to
suspend operations this week on
account Of the coal shortage.
Inquiry at the office of the Con-
tinental Fibre Company yesterday
elected the information that while
the coal supply is limited, there
is no immediate danger of shut
ing down. The company will how
ever, suspend operations from to-
night until Monday morning in
order to conserve the supply on
hand. This means an actual loss
of only a day and a half of work
ing time. The company secures its
supply from Philadelphia agents
and has the promise of more coal
in a few days.
The possibility of installing a
system for using oil instead OF
coal has been considered by the
company but has not been definite
ly decided upon, according to {
statement made yesterday by {
member of the firm.
The American Vulcanized Fibr,
Company has on hand coal suffici
ent to run until the first of tn,
new year. $500 tons had been sc
cured before the situation becam
acute. The average weekly con
sumption is $50 tons. The avail
able supply therefore will run tn
plant for more than two months.
This company gets it's coal di
rectly from the mines and recen
consignments have been confscat
ed by government orders. Th
company has every assurance tina
plenty of coal will be availabl
before the present supply is e,
hausted.
Curtis Brothers stated thi
morning that their supply is suff
cient to last until the first of tn
year and that there is no DANCE
of a shutdown at their mills.

DECLARES TREATMENT
OF SOLDIERS A SHAME

Representative ricketts, Scores War
Department in Cases of Shell Shock
Representative Ricketts,, of Ohio. in
the House of Representatives recently
spoke in support of resolution d.
recting the Military Affairs Commit
tee to investigate whether soldiers
suffering from shell shock were being
treated in institutions for the insane,
and required to occupy hospitals with
the criminally insane. Mr.. Ricketts,
said he had a number of letters from
Mrs. Martha E. Abt Of Chicago. who
recently addressed some of his con-
stituents at New Straitsville. Perry
county, Ohio. who said she had seen
with her own eyes shell shocked SOL
diers in uniform with and among
the criminally insane.

by the present incompetent state and
national administrations 1t would
be poor wisdom to entrust the pres
ent agencies with further power and
expect them to change the policy re-
sponsible for the present conditions
and with which the Democratic can
didates, through their platform and
public declarations, profess them
selves to be we'll satisfied
"The state and nation cannot pro-
gress and develope under the control
of officials who are unsympathetic
with business enterprises. The per-
sistent blunders. false economic theo-
ries and hypocritical distribution of
spells, as practiced by officials in the
last few years. have been a curse to
the commerce and industry of the
country. The tragedy of the railroads
is largely due to the removal of the
presidents and othdr officials who
knew how to run them, and the en-
ployment of political favorites, some
of whome received salaries Of $4,000
a year and who were grossly incom-
petent for the positions. The short
age of sugar, which is causing incon-
venience to every family, and which
has caused many factories engaged
in making candy and similar products
to shut down, is the result of stu
pidity of national officials who have
diverted the Cuban sugar supply to
Europe and the Hawaiin sugar sup
ply of 100000 tons to Japan. Even
our own refineries, under the federal
regulations, are refining and shipping
enormous supplies Of sugar to foreign
countries, while our own people are

turning son, dinner was taken at
Homecoming, at which town the candi-
dates were warmly greeted.
Greater interestin thecoming election
is being shown by Garrett and Allie
gany counties this year than in many
previous campaigns. The miners and
coal operators are actively espousing
the Republican cause. National blum
ders have fomented spirit of unrest
and the voters are demanding a
change. From sources that are conser-
vative, Garrett county is conceded
the Republican candidates by 1000
majority while Allegany, it is said,
will give them 500 to 1900 plurality.
Thesstimulus to the G. o. P. campaign
was evidenced at the meeting here
which marks the last in the Western
counties of the state.
Charles A. Ashby, chairman of the
Republican State Central Committee
of Garrett, opened the meeting and
then turned it over to julius Renin-
ger, the presiding officer. D. E. Boil
den, of the district committee; E. R.
Jones and George W. Legge, successful
and defeated candidates for states
attorney, respectively, were among
other leaders that attended the meet
ing.
Fred c. Dreyer, chairman of the
Allegany county Republican State
Central Committee. accompanied the
state candidates in their tour through
Allegany and on the trip to Oakland.
Several local candidates were in the
party.
Mr.. Nice said:
"The business Development of our
state is a vital consideration; taxes
are increasing, expenses of living are
enormous and we must muster our
resources so as to meet the demands.
Much of the burden has been caused

the national tax laws unnecessarily
cripple and frequently jeopardize his
business. The present administration
has always been busy in supervising
the distribution of wealth and many
billions have been recklessly scattered,
but we look in vain for any measure
that have to do with encouraging the
production of wealth. They have been
following the blind policy of killing the
goose which lays the golden egg.
How can we expect our state to
make it's rightful progress and sue
cessfully to invite outside capital to
help develope our resources, if our
laws are made and administered un-
der the domination of the political ma
chine which is now in the ascendancy
and asks to be furthur entrusted with
power? How can we expect worthy
residents of other states to cast their
fortunes with us, when We have on
our statute books as that which re-
quires a declaration of intention one
year before the rights of citizenship
may be obtained?
How can we expect the affairs of
our state to be put upon a basis Of
business economy when there is re-
fusal of such reforms as that of COM
bining the authorship of the state
this refusal was made in order to make
with the comptroller's Office. and when

machine? If the states business must
be run on political lines. we may be
sure that the machine will subordinate
the business interests of the state to
the political welfare of the controlling
machines.

served there and in reference to the
general subject of treatment of shell
shocked soldiers said:
Il saw criminal degenerates and
soldiers inside the walls of certain
wards and Enclosures of st. Elizabeth
Hospital who were allowed to inter-
mingle and associate. which was
complete surprise to me in the face
of the fact that the House of Repre-
sentatives had been assured that
the soldier and the criminal insane
inmates in this institution We're seq
regated; that they were not allowed
to intermingle or associate; and that
the soldier boys were receiving spe-
cial treatment, necessary in order to
insure the cure of all those who could
be cured
Gust why the War Department did
not provide special hospitals for these
shell-shocked and insane soldiers and
other soldiers suffering from nervous
disorders when it had at its conf
mand all the appropriations neces-
sary to have amply provided for
them, is not quite clear to me.
Il am convinced that the War De-
partment must have known that just
such conditions as these would arise
with reference to the service of our
soldiers in foreign lands. and. con-
sequently, should have made the nee
essary arrangements for their care
and protection.

this nation that these boys should

the candidate selected By the machine.
In his declaration that re is a demo
