Million A Month For Drinks in Mary.
land

Oakland and the rest of the State
spend almost a million dollars a month
for soft drinks and ice cream, and
more than a million a month for NOV
les and the theatres. These figures
are shown in taxes paid to the Col
lector of Internal Revenue. On the
first two items the taxes paid indicate
that 1911 900 was spent on them in
April, a season of the year when the
ice cream and soda water business is
not at its height.
In the same month, Marylanders
paid 81 100000 for admission to some
form of public entertainment chiefly
moving pictures and the theatre. That
makes a total of S1,91l 900 for the
month on practically two forms of en-
joyment.
Some time ago the statement was
made that New York spent 81 100000
a month on soda water fountain bev-
erages. Since those figures probably
included ice cream to the same extent
that the local returns embrace this
commodity, Maryland spends more in
such way per person than does New
York.

GAINESVILLE IMPROVEMENTS
Among Others Third Story Has Been
Added to National Hotel.

The Republican likes to see the
spirit of improvement everywhere At
Grantsville, which is enc of Garrett
county's Oldest towns, the spirit is
manifest to marked degree.
A recent visit to the place by The
Republican brought this fact forward,
for upon every hand was seen the pro-
gressiveness of the people of the town.
Within the past two weeks a new post
Office building has been completed and
is now being occupied as such. Just
below this building a new dwelling is
almost finished, while along the main
street can be noticed other buildings
that have been recently built or i'm
proved. Here also the painter and
artisans are given all they can do, for
almost without exception the homes
are neat, fresh looking and so clean
that it is refreshing to wander about
and note the difference between that
town and other places where the
CRIME and dirt is in such quantities
as to make it painful
One of the greatest improvements
at Grantsvile, which is now nearing
completion is that make by Mr.. Chas.
A. Bender, proprietor Of the National
Hotel To this well-known hosiery
a third story has been added, the lob
by doubled as to capacity and made
more home-Hke in every particular.
In the lobby a tile floor Of beautiful
design has been laid, while new
stairway Of ample proportions has
been built reaching to the upper por
lions Of the house. In the basement
will be provided wash rooms and other
conveniences for the patrons of the
hotel. Mr.. Bender expects to have
his house entirely completed by July
list. The improvements he has made
cost him several thousand dollars.

Der l. ~
The election of the executives of
| the association and the committees
appointed for the various purposes set
| forth above meets with the approval
of the large number of the shareho1-
ders. All are energetic, wide-awake
business men and will exert every eff
fort at their command to make the
! Faid of 1920 the success that it should
be, keeping before their minds eye
that a success for this year means a
larger and better Fair next year and
the years to follow.
At the proper time the officials will
issue the year book containing the list
of premiums to be awarded and other
literature concerning the Fair, it's plans
and ultimate benefit to the agricul-
turalists and stockmen Of the county.
Now is the time to prepare for your
exhibits; next fall will be too late.

NUMBER Is
BRIDE OF ONLY EIGHT DAYS
INSTANTLY KILLED FRIDAY
Wife of Mr.. Christian Felty, Formerly
OF Oakland Victim of Accident.

Mrs. May Felty, bride of eight
days, having been married at her
home in Luke, Allegany county, to Mr..
Christian Felty, of Connellsville, for
merly of Oakland, on June 8, by the
Rev. Harry G. Spencer, pastor of the
First Methodist Episcopal church, of
Piedmont, was killed Friday last about
o'clock in an automobile accident
near Connellsville, Pa.
Mr.. and Mrs Felty had just re-
turned the day previous to her death
from their honeymoon trip spent in
eastern cities. She was the daughter
of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Wierer, of
Luke, and was trained nurse by pro-
fession, having graduated from the
Hoffman Hospital in Keyser in 1916.
Mrs. Felty was almost instantly
killed. She became frightened and
leaped from a runaway automobile on
Works Hill, near Connellsville. In
company with Mrs Elizabeth Mona
han, Of Connellsville, who resides in
the Felty building in that city, Mrs.
Felty was riding in a Haynes road
ster. When coming down Works Hill
the car became unmanageable and
started on a wild run down the steep
and long grade. When about two
thirds down the hill and within
short distance of a dangerous curve
where many serious auto accidents
nave already occurred, the machine
caught up with q heavy truck Of the
Satisfactorily Co., Connellsville,
which was being driven by Bert
Iean5, an employe. Mrs Monahan,
VINO was driving the roadster, appar-
entity swung her car sharp to the left
in order to avoid a collision. The fen
der struck the rear of the truck and
the roadster SHOT over the curb and
struck a telephone pole. Mrs. Felty
jumped just as the runaway car shot
past the truck, striking head foremost
against a large stone. Mr.. Means
stopped his truck and went to the as
sistance of the two women. Mrs
Monahan remained at the wheel of her
car and while not seriously injured,
she was cut about the face and hands.
A passing automobile took both wo-
men aboard, driving rapidly to the
Cottage Hospital, Connellsville Mrs.
Monahan was taken to her home. Mrs
Feltys injuries were of such a nature
that she never regained conscious
ness and died at the hospital about
O'Clock.
Her funeral occurred on Monday
from the First Methodist Episcopal
church in Piedmont, the services be-
ing conducted by the minister who
less than two weeks prior had spoken
the words that made her the wife of
Mr.. Felty, who is well remembered by
nearly every resident of Oakland.
Mr.. Felty's first wife was Miss Por-
ter, daughter of the late Robert
Porter. of near Oakland. Her death
took place several years ago, her re-
mains having been inferred in the
cemetery in Oakland.

Barn Burned on Farm Near Deer Park

The barn of W. w. Groves, located
on his farm near Deer Park, was to-
tally destroyed by fire on last Friday
night. In addition to the barn Mr..
Grove sustained the loss of three
cows, two threshing machines, two
wagons, all of his farm machinery,
twelve tons of hay and two hundred
bushels of oats. The barn was built
a number of years ago and in the days
of cheap lumber. The stills support
ing it were made of twelve inch square
white pine and the construction of
other portions of the building were
in keeping with the stills. 1t has been
estimated that could the lumber en-
tering into the building be procured
today the product would cost not less
than three to four thousand dollars,
while the labor at the present prices
would bring the cost of the structure
well up to $4,000 or more.

TOWN IN DARKNESS
And viii Remain so Until Repairs Are
Made At Electric Station.

Oakland is again in darkness and
will so remain. according to officials
of the electric plant that furnishes
light for the streets and dwelling of
Oakland. for at least a week.
Lightning last night caused the
trouble when a bolt ran into the plant
and burned out the generator in the
twinkling of an eye.
Aside from the damage sustained
at the electric station no other has
been reported, although the storm
which begun about seven o'clock lasted
with momentary intermission, nearly
the entire night.

U. s. ARMY, SAYS BAKER,
 TO BE GREAT SCHOOL
Tells Englishmen It Will Give a Thorough Education to En-
 listed Men.

London, Jan. 29.-An interesting outline of Americas s scheme for train ing her new army is given by New War in the Anglo American supple ment of the Manchester Guardian whih was issued yesterday.
 Our new army is to he an educa- tiona1 institution" Secretary Baker writes, dividing the time of it's re- cruitS equally between military train ing and education. It is to take youths and make soldiers of them for the period of enlistna eut. but 10 re- turn them when enlistment is over, equipped with trades or other educa- ton of hand or head as their apti tudc shall determine.
 Schools are being established under trained educators in English and history and the elements of scieuce are being taught, and, in model workshops under trained me chanicS, skilled workmen are being made of our soldiers. To such an army fathers and mothers will send their sons as the more fortunate now send their sons to technical schools and colleges.
 The public attitude toward such an army will not be that it is an eN- pensive investment in idle and un- productive men, but rather that it is part of an educational system which in America seeks to equalizc oppor- tunity in democratic fashion to the sons of rich and poor a1ikc''
