REPORTS SOUND WELL, BUT
WHERE is THE SUGAR?

Optimism is still rampant in the
Democratic administrative depart
ments, judging from the cheering re-
ports which eminate therefrom with
daily regularity. The "Daily Digest"
of the Council of National Defense
for December oath quotes from the
Bureau of Crop Estimates (Agricul-
ture Department: "The sugar beet
production for Spain, the Netherlands,
Switzerland, Canada and the United
States was 117.2 per cent. of the 1918
output, or 1885 per cent. of the five
year average, being placed at 1O,39O,-
900 tons"
1t sounds well, but what has become
of the sugar? The people of the IN
tied States don't seem to be able to
get it, even at the price o. KID by the
Equalization Board which the Presi-
dent has continued in Office so that
"his people" may not be exploited.

STAND UP FOR YOUR TOWN,

An ideal citizen is one who sees
something good in his home town and
spreads the good news abroad that
others may benefit therefrom.
Of course, there are other sidelights
to the ideal citizen, but the quality of
loyalty is one which produces tangible
results.
There are three distinct attitudes
which a person may assume toward
the community which houses and feeds
hinl-to boost, to remain quiescent,
or to knock.
The booster pushes his town along,
the quiescent citizen lulls it to sleep,
and the knocker helps to put it out of
business. Every town has respecta-
BILE number of each of these classes of
citizens, all well-meaning individuals
who see their mistakes very often too
late, especially of the latter or knocker
variety.
Which are you?
fernapS you nave never given 1t
thought. You may not realize your
self what you are-but your neighbors
all know. They have you accurately
catalogued according to your deserts.
If you are booster they admire you;
if you are quiescent, they wonder
when you will emerge from your slum-
Der, and if you are a knocker, they
yearn for the day when you will
fold up your tent and silently fade
away.
Stand up for your home town and
its citizens will stand up for you;
knock it and you knock yourself inf
nitely more.

TIE OEkTh ntCUHu.
ALBERT A. RICHARDS.


Cur community was shocked to hear
Of the death Of Mr.. Albert A. Rich
ards, who had but lately made his
home at Mountain Lake Park. His
death occurred at Tampa, Florida, on
December 31st. The news was con-
veyed by telegram from DIR. T. D.
Richards to DR.. C. Ely of Oakland,
which was received by DR.. Ely on New
Years morning. The same evening a
communication was received giving
some of the particulars of the death
of Mr.. Richards. He had reached
Tampa on the oath, and two days later
Dr. Richards arrived there to find
him complaining. A physician was
summoned at once, who found him de-
veloping pneumonia. He was taken
to a hospital when it was found that
heart, kidney and high blood pressure
complications made his condition very
critical. On the evening of the 31st
he passed away. He was buried at
Wellington, Kansas, on Monday, the
9Th inst. The death of Mr.. Richards
is truly a great loss to the Park and
to this entire community. He was an
enterprising citizen and his home
where he expected to spend his last
years, is a model of beauty and con-
venience. He was man of unusual
ability; a public spirited and progress
sive business man of large affairs. He
was by profession an attorney and
was assistant Attorney General of the
United States at one time, which posi-
ton he filled with great credit. Later
he became an extensive oil operator in
which business he was engaged when
called hence. When a young man Mr..
Richards was engaged in the news
paper business in Kansas where he
made name for himself as a man of
ability in this line of work. His gen.
ial, affable disposition and courteous
manners won for him host of warm
friends. He was admired by all and
justly so. The sympathy of all who
have feared of the death of this estim-
able man is extended to his stricken
family and friends.

OF Interest TO Sportsmen,

All sportsmen and others who are
interested in the propagation and pro-
lection of game in Garrett county,
are requested to notify very promptly
Game Warden Richard S. Browning at
Oakland, or Mr.. James D. Hamill, also
of Oakland, the latter being the sec
rotary of the Garrett County Game
and Fish Protective Association, of
the location of any coveys of par
tridges or ring neck pheasants so that
proper arrangements may be made to
feed and protect them during the time
the earth is covered by the snow. 1t
is imperative that in order to prop
erly protect and care for these birds
during the winter that they be fed and
looked after, hence the above request
from those who are deeply interested
in the game matter, is made.
Game Warden Browning has made
several arrests during the past week
of those who have been guilty of vio-
lating the game laws, some of the par
ties having been fined as high as $50
and costs for having game in their
possession during the closed season.
The hunting season closed at shutdown
on December oath.

Volstead prohibition enforcement act.
The states are supposed to ratify, CIV
ing the State courts and the State po-
lice the same power as the Federal
authorities in seeing that the 'bone-
dry" idea prevails. That Volstead
, business is reasonably sure of being
the storm center. The Legislature of
1920 is by no means as "dry" as the
Legislature of 1918. Supposedly "dry''
constituencies, like Frederick and
Washington counties, elected damp
ish" Senators, and the House, too, is
supposed to have experienced change
of heart prompted by the vindictive
attitude of the voters of those two
counties.

TOUCH NOT, TASTE NOT, HAN
DIE NOT.

Why will men put an enemy into
his mouth that will paralyze the nerve
centers, cause commissions, total blind
ness, and usually result in death ?
Merciless men, in order to gain money,
have taken advantage of the appetites
for strong drink that others have to
place on the market wood alcohol dis
guised as whisky, selling it for three
times as much as an ordinary drink
was worth and as a result men all
over the east have died or lost their
eyesight. 1t is amazing that persons
who wish liquor will take such a
chance. The man who sells liquor at
this time is breaking the law. He may
be fined or imprisoned, and such a
person is not to be trusted The man
who will break law knowingly and
for gain, will knowingly, we believe,
peddle poison to others and let them
take the chance of either living or
dying.
The best thing drinkers can do now
adays is to go right on the water
wagon and stay there. The law is be-
ing enforced which makes it a crime
to sell strong drink. Under the cir
cumstances, it is better not to buy
any and connive at the violation of
statute, for in doing so one runs the
risk of getting bottle of wood alco-
hol or something just as bad.
A man of ordinary sense should not
have to be warned against killing him.
self, but men, driven by appetite for
stimulant, seem to lose their reason
ing power. If they will not do that
which they should to preserve their
own lives, the law will do it for them.
Therefore, the best thing to do, is to
cease drinking; cult it altogether for
the present, anyway, unless you have
a private stock of your own or an
obliging friend.

STATE LEGISLATURE FACES
MANY IMPORTANT PROBLEMS
Prohibition Issue May Figure In SEES
sion Which Begun Yesterday.

oiOh NhSH DCS uh IcStcIudy.
The Legislature of Maryland met
in Annapolis, the State capital, yes
terday, January 7th, it being the first
Wednesday of the month, and the day
fixed by the Constitution.
Opinions are freely expressed, not
only at Annapolis, but in all parts of
the State that the present session of
the General Assembly will be one of
the most important ever held. In this
connection the idea prevails that the
House is a strong body, having in its
membership men capable of meeting
any situation that may arise. The
Senate is regarded as conspicuously
weak.
Governor Richie takes office on the
second Wednesday of January Leg
islation required to redeem the pledges
in the Democratic platform is regard
ed as his own. The Governor-elect is
now working on bills to submit to the
General Assembly in redemption Of
these pledges.
In the list are:
Civil service.
Central purchasing agency for State
institutions.
Increased pay for school teachers.
Increased pay for police officers.
Submission to voters of legislation
transferring control of police depart
ment from the State to the city
Construction of lateral roads, the
system Of main arteries being about
concluded.
However, the platform pledges do
not constitute, by any means, the full
Legislative program, and it is legis-
lation that is not pledged, in the DEM
ocratic or Republican platforms, over
which the biggest fights will be waged.
What will come up no one can pre-
dict with certainty, but the signs are
pointing to bitter contests on these
issues:
Repeal or modification of the blue
laws.
Increased representation for Balti-
more city.
Elimination or the taxing of race
tracks.
Modification of prohibition, indorse-
nlent of the Volstead enforcement act
or withdrawal of Maryland's indorse-
ment of the Constitutional prohibition
amendment.
Repeal or modification of the pri-
mary election law.
State marketing legislation, having
in view the lowering of the cost of liv-
ing.
Abolishing the two branch City
Council system of Baltimore.
Putting the old Annex under the
plan of taxation outlined for the new
annex.
Abolishing and consolidating State
Offices.
Providing State Office building in
Baltimore.
Dealing with the food products of
the Chesapeake Bay.

Valuable Farm near GraHtsville Sold.

According to the Meyersdale Repub-
lican of last week Mr.. ]. L. Yost has
sold his Mount Airy farm, located 8
miles south of Grantsville in Garrett
county. The Republican in its ac-
count of the sale said: "He sold his
Maryland farm on $4,000 cash ba-
sis to the Casselman Lumber Com
pany of Elk Lick, made up of John
D. Miller, John Knecht, Lewis Hanft
and Henry Hanft, who are at present
operating sawmill on the Wilson Bit
finger tract southwest of Grantsville.
They bought the Yost farm princi-
pally for the timber on it, including
one of the finest sugar groves in Gar
rett county. They intend to install a
mill at once and begin cutting the
timber, sugar and all. 1t is pity to
see the fine sugar groves of Garrett
county, Nd, and Somerset county, Pa q.
falling before the woodsmen's axe,
but owners of sugar camps say sugar
making is getting to be too hard and
expensive work" Mr.. Yost will likely
leave Garrett county and locate in
Somerset county, Pa.
