Patriotic Services at Kitzmiller and a
Largely Attended Meeting at Vindex

The pupils of the Kitzmiller high
and grammar schools held patriot,
exercises in the Methodist Episcopal
church on Thursday evening, March
25. The church was packed to it's ut
most with the friends an, .,arents of
the children. Miss Edna NJ. Marshall
the grades supervisor, and Rev. Bird,
pastor of the oh -ch, gave short talks.
The exercises wer much enjoyed
by ALL
The men and WON, lex and
surrounding community gathered in
the hall at that place on Wednesday
evening to discuss the proposed bond
issue and topics relating to school
work. The meeting was very inter
esting, many making the statement
that around Vindex they felt sure
every man would vote for such bill.
The Vindex band played in front of
the hall before the meeting and also
played at the meeting. Vindex is to
be congratulated upon having such an
organization.
At box supper held in the Knights
of Pythias hall at Gormania, West
Va, by the patrons and pupils of the
German Garrett county, school, the
sum of $76 was cleared. This money
is to be used toward the purchasing
of standard equipment for the school.
A book case, curtains, a picture and
books for supplementary reading are
to be among the purchases. Miss Rella
G. Mckenzie, the teacher, hopes, too,
to be able to arrange in some way for
the lighting of the school. This is an
other example of the way a commu-
nifty may cooperate with the teacher.

Carcasses of Domestic Animals.

The Maryland State Board of Agri-
culture has sent out the following cir
cular regulating the disposal of the
carcasses of domestic animals, which
becomes effective today:

animals to remain unburied is a men,
ace to the health of the live stock
of the community and a frequent
cause of the spread of disease, it is
hereby required that horses, mules,
asses, cattle, swine or other domestic
animals having died from any cause,
be burned or buried at a depth of at
least three feet, or sent to some es-
Enlistment where dead animals are
disposed of in manner to prevent
their becoming a menace.
1.-THE carcasses of animals known
to have died of a contagious or in
fictitious disease must be disposed of
in accordance with the requirements
as set forth in Article SO of the An
notated Code of Maryland.

The board Of supervisors this
afternoon was considering action
! looking to the condemning OF land
for the purpose of obtaining gravel.
The board was to meet to consider
such action, which y contemplated
primarily for the purpose of estab-
fishing the going price of gravel land
and gravel deposits in the county.
Recently residents of the Clemons
neighborhood petitioned the board
fer highway improvement, and agreed
/ to gravel the road north and south
out Of Clemons if the county would
put the road to grade. To get the
work under way the Clemons folk
improved between half and three
quarters of a mile OF the highway
| south of Clemons. It was then found
that sufficient gravel to finish the
Improvement could not be obtained.
Wants 5000 An Acre.
| A gravel deposit was found on the
| farm of Harold Eldridge. Immediate
| " north OF Clemons. Eldridge has
made sales Of gravel from this bed
and believed as do some OF his
/ neighbors. that the price per load
should establish the price OF tho de-
posit
| Members of the board Of supervis-
ors and the county engineer visited
the Eldridge farm Friday hoping 70
| purchase an acre to obtain the
gravel. This purchase would be for
gravel purposes only and the land
would revert to the original owner
after the county lad taken the gravel
or until the deposit was abandoned.
| Eldridge fixed price of $4,000 on
the acre This was considered en-
tirely too high by members Of the
board, who point to the going price
shown by the state highway commits
sion reports Of not in excess Of ST.
900.
Hope to Establish Price.
If contemplation proceedings are
| commenced the board hopes to es-
tablish a basis for future negotia-
tions for gravel ;Aeds While the
board refuses to pay $4,000 an acre,
1t might have agreed to price in
excess Of $1,000.
II the board determines on con-
demnation proceedings board of
appraisers will be named to fix the
value of a deposit. 1t is argued that
to AK the value Of a deposit Of UNI
known quantity on the basis
Of the price obtaining for gravel
sold by the yard is unreason-
able. 1t is also argued that
condemnation Of the acre of land will
not despoii the owner Of his gravel
beds, as the acre does not represent
the entire deposit on the farm. There
is a sufficient deposit not included
in the acre desired by the county to
permit of private sales for some
time to come. it is said.

 WASHINGTON, Aug. 19.-A decla- ration that the American government would support Polish independence ito power confided in the executive" was made today by Secretary Colby. Speaking to a delegation of American citizens of Polish extraction who called to present memorials adopted at mass meetings, MT. Colby said:
 Every measure that legally can be taken will be adopted to render ef- fectual the position of this country"
 He declared. however, that the ques- ton of material aid on any broad scale was a political one.
 We cannot go to the relief even of Poland" he said. provided the view DrevailS that we have no concern with anything beyond our national borders The question you see in it's larger and true aspect is political question. l call your attention to the fact that the attitude of this govern ment can only be the attitude of it's people; and you, as American citizens, have the power to determine the trend and the weight of public opinion"
 MT. Colby said there were those who opposed any intervention that calls on us for active effort.'s and who had ''ffouted and rejected the enlightened machinery devised in conjunction with the treaty of Versailles to cope with such conditions as now unhappily ex- ist." He also said there were those fir this country who are surveying con ditions that now exist in central Eu- rope with a satisfaction that they make no attempt to conceal
 While the executive arm of the gov ernment has some measure of initia- . tive and Of action" he continued, you must look to the true sources of power in this country"
 In the final analysis he declared it is public opinion. In the less re- mote view. it is your elected members of congress. In a very important sense, it is the political party witt which you may be affiliated
 The secretary told the delegation that the application which relic measures apply. and without whicl action on an adequate scale is impossi ble. must be made by congress-"

By Guy c. Terhune There are pools of tears that are hid-
 den. There are tears that dim the eyes And there are tears that splash like
 drops of rain From tumbling foam -flaked skies. There are tears of joy and gladness, There are tears of folly, too, And there are tears repentinE the
 madness That lodged in the heart and grew. There are tears when smiles should
 finger Across a face grown old And tears like winter snowflakes chill The heart of meek and bold. Yet tears are but idle and fruitless, A storm on a bright summer day, Er1ushing the eyes with emotion That silently filters away. Yes. tears are but hollow and worth
 less.
 Tears are but scattered in vain, For the soul that weeps with fearless
 eyes
 Is the soul that knows the pain.
