LIQUIDATE FAIR ASSOCIATION
Such Action Determined by Board of
Directors at Meeting Friday.


The following is a copy of a circular
letter sent out by the board of direc-
tors of the Oakland Fair Association
under date of April Goth, and is pub
lished for the information of our read
ers so that they may gain information
concerning the status of affairs with
regard to the future of the Associa-
ton and what may be expected890$ =.
ton:
cat meeting of the Board of Di-
rectors of the Oakland Fair Associa-
ton, April 23d, 1920, it was decided
to advise liquidation of the present
organization. This decision was
reached after careful consideration
all for the following reasons:
First. In order to meet the re-
quirements of the state to receive
state-aid. The law says that no asso-
citation which has declared a dividend
within the past three years shall be
eligible for a part of the appropria-
ton made under the law.
Second. The law provides further
that any association making applica-
ton must have paid-up capital stock
of not less than $4,000. In order to
meet this requirement the present as
ISOLATION would have to sell more
stock and with the present stock much
below par it would be almost impos-
sible to sell the required amount.
Therefore. the board of directors
has called a meeting of the stockhol-
ders for Saturday, May 9Th, at P
NJ, at the Court House in Oakland, to
advise liquidation. This does not mean
~ II
stead new organization will be
formed right away, a new board OF
directors elected, charter applied for
and an invitation extended to all the
present stockholders, and any others
in the county, to join and make a real
Garrett County Fair. You are urged
to be here in person and cast youl
vote"
The letter above printed was signed
by the entire membership of the di-
rectors' board.

WOODS PERSONALITY HAS
GROWN.

As the presidential campaign has
progressed the personality of Maj.
Gen. Leonard Wood has made an in
creasingly favorable impression on the
country. His public record has es-
tablished him as a great administra-
tor, resourceful and capable in any
emergency. The country is now learn
ing to know him as progressive, high
minded man, incapable of trimming
b demagoguery, or the petty maneuvers
of the small politicians.
Wood is making no impossible
promises. He is not saying, Select
me and watch the cost of living come
down" He not appealing to pref
udice or any of the small motives that
move men. You will not find in any
of Woods speeches a play to the r.
ish-American vote, or the German
American vote, or any other hyphen-
ated vote. Es
He doesn't have his picture taken as
he is milking COW in order to prove
that he a farmer, and he doesn't
soft pedal on universal training to
please the pacifsts.
He makes no concessions to selfish
Americanism. In his South Dakota
debate with Senator Poindexter the
senator protested against the 100
millions of American aid voted by
Congress to the starving peoples of
Europe. The money could have been
used to better advantages at home, he
said, and his audience responded to
the plea of selfshness with applause.
General Wood came back with: 81
refuse to believe you are express
ing disapprovel of a Christian act
If you are you are not fit to be
Americans. Are you people going to
deny food and clothing to starving
Europe? If you are, you are unfit to
live under the American flag"
Very few presidential candidates
would have dared to come out with
that straightforward appeal to the
best in men. The appeal to selfishness
is so much easier!
The incident was as characteristic
as the generals abandonment of his
New England campaign tour to re-
turn to Chicago to take charge of the
military department when the switch
mems strike threatened to cause dis
order. The average candidate would
have run, from any connection with
labor trouble. Wood neither sought
it or ran away from it. He simply
went where his duty called him.
The fierce light of a campaign
shows up small men. Their maneuv-
ers, their readiness to make almost
any sacrifice of self-respect or prin-
ciple in order to win votes, their
petty spites, come into prominence.
1t is refreshing to find a man under
these trying conditions keeping his
head. conducting himself with unfail-
ing dignity, speaking out as an Amer
lean with world view, but still first
and always an American, betrayed
into nothing that would make his
friends ashamed Wood has given the

THE TEACHER PROBLEM

In an editorial on the .City's Teach
er Problem" the q Charleston wv. Va1
Gazette, under date of April 2, says
in part:
West Virginia has not escaped the
degrading influence of shortage in
teachers. The state university has
lost, according to reports, more than
half of its best professors, who have
been offered elsewhere more lucra-
tive positions. The state at large suf-
fered good deal last year, either
through lack of teachers or through
the employment of inefficient teachers.
And West Virginia a growing and
progressive commonwealth can least
afford to lose its good teachers, close
up any school or use less fitted teach
ers in her schools. 1t should be con-
sidered a patriotic duty to keep every
school in the state open, and to sup
ply better teachers, for, without good
teachers, we cannot hope to maintain
our family traditions, our democratic
institutions, nor will we be able to
train the next generation to meet the
future problems, which will inevitably
arise from the present crisis-a crisis
full of unpleasant consequences. We
are face to face with the question:
Shall we pay the teachers small sala-
ries and be contented with our chill
dren being half educated, or secure
energetic young men and women to in
spire our children to higher and no
bier things ?"
