TRUANT OFFICER INJURED
Miss Grow Badly Bruised When Her
Car Skidded Into Culvert

Miss f. R. Grow, county attend
ance officer, was seriously injured on
Monday last when her automobile
skidded on the road near Hoyes and
struck the side of culvert wall on
the State road, wrecking the car to
a considerable extent and rendering
Miss Grow unfit for duty for some
time to come on account of the in
juries she received.
Miss Grow was en- route to Acct
dent to attend teachers conference
which was held on Monday morning.
At the turn in the State road just
beyond the home of Mr.. William Cal
lis Miss Grow was forced to the side
of the roadway by the approach of
another car when her machine skid
ded and struck the culvert, overturn-
ing it and damaging it considerably.
Miss Grow was struck in the chest
when the impact of the car against
the culvert was made and in addi-
ton sustained other bruises and lac
erations from flying glass.
Miss Grow was brought to Oak
land as soon as possible after the
accident occurred and is receiving
medical attention at her home on
Second street.

THE DEMANDS OF THE CHART
TIES.

Many people, when asked to sub
scribe to such a public cause as the
Red Cross, will make the objection
that they are "sick and tired of
drives During the war, they say,
there was one long procession of sol
icitors asking money for public
causes, and since the war, it has been
about the same. These complaints
are often justified but in some in
stances they are not. 1t all depends
on the merit of the appeal. Persons
who object to all charity solicitations
should consider how comparatively
little people do in personal way for
the benefit of others. Our fathers and
mothers who lived in country towns
used to constantly go out to watch
with sick people, sitting up all night
after a tiresome days labor. There
were but few nurses then, and most
of the labor of caring for the sick was
done by this volunteer. help. People
lived closer to the suffering and the
poor in those days, and when anyone
needed assistance everyone knew it.,
and took hold to help.
The spirit of hospitality was more
prevalent in those times. Families
would give a home for months and
years to unfortunate relatives, freely
supplying them with food and cloth
ing. In country towns still, people
gather to the home of some sick man
and saw and split his woodpile or get
in his crops. And they do these things
gladly and find pleasure in serving
others.
And yet there are people living in
towns and cities who get grouchy be-
cause a few times year some solicit
tor comes around for some charity,
which takes the place of all this in
innate and personal service that peo-
pie used to offer so freely.
People in these times are giving
less than the old timers used to- The
trouble with many of US is that we
are concentrating our thoughts on our
own advancement and pleasure, so
that appeals for kind and generous
spirit may not find US ready to do our
part, or to enjoy the satisfaction that
is to be found in giving.

A WELL APPOINTED RECEPTION
Given Last Wednesday Evening By
Mr.. and Mrs. William Il. Offutt.

Wednesday evening of last week at
Offutt's Hall, which had been hand
somely decorated for the occasion,
Mr.. and Mrs. William R. Ofutt, of
Oakland, gave a reception to their
many friends, the occasion being the
seventeenth anniversary of the we'd
ding.
Guests to the number of more than
a hundred responded to the invita-
tons which had been sent out by the
couple and soon after nine o'clock in
the evening the hall was comfortably
filled with handsomely gowned ladies
and their escorts. In the receiving
line were Mr.. and Mrs. Offutt, Mr..
and Mrs. J. Wilson Humbert, of Cum
berland, Mrs. Offutt's parents, and
Mrs. d. E. Offutt, of Oakland.
Dancing was the diversion of the
evening, music being furnished by
the Oakland Orchestra, a recently
formed organization, which produced
excellent music.
During the evening refreshments
were served.

Thanksgiving for the "CIean-Up" In
Loeb Lynn Heights.

The spirit of rejoicing and of genu-
inc Thanksgiving was the most prom
inent feature of the social and enter
tainment given on Thanksgiving ev-
ening by Loeb Lynn Heights I'M
provement Society. Despite unfav-
orable weather, more than one hun
dred persons were present-each one
of whom had already been convinced
that the society is not one of words
only but of deeds.
Two weeks before the women of
the Society had resolved that the
town should undergo an immediate
Cleanup" The officers of the Wo-
mems committee, composed of Mrs.
B. L. Ryan, president; Mrs. A. 7.
White, vice-president, and Mrs. H. V.
Leighton, secretary, had appeared
before the Town Council and had
asked for general "Clean-Up Day"
Graciously the council had granted
the request. The day appointed was
Tuesday before Thanksgiving.
Early that Tuesday morning things
unsightly and uncleanly began to
move. H. z. Gibson gave the free
use of his truck; the stores of the
town sent trucks, and men of the town
volunteered to gather the trash from
the various yards and alleys. The
street committee asked the women to
direct the cleanup. Mrs. B. L. Ry-
an and Mrs. A. 7. White, superinten-
dents, were determined to keep the
trash con the 60" With fire in their
eyes and hoes in their hands they fol-
lowed the trucks from morning until
night through every street and every
lane of the village. AS soon as they
had given necessary orders to the
forces, these resolute women "set the
pace" for the men-and the men adj
mitted they could not keep up in
digging out from the alleys and by
paths broken bottles and discarded
cans, rusty buckets and battered
pans. Weary but happy in the sue
cessful execution of an arduous un-
dertaking, the two dauntless women
went home that evening.
Two evenings later-on Thanks
giving-the people of Loeb Lynn
Heights met to rejoice The village
orchestra played; the children of the
primary room Of the public school
gave two pretty drills; everybody
sang-and everybody ate. Also ev-
erybody recognized that Loeb Lynn
Heights had cause for thanksgiving
in that it holds at least two women
who mean business" "who see things
through to the end" and who "don't
/ just talk, but do. "
Before the gathering dispersed,
plans were made for future action.
All women of the town were urged to
go to the council room Wednesday
evening, November 3Oth, to organize
civic club to carry on the work so
auspiciously begun on "Clean-Up
Day."

mitted to reap so large measure of
profit and reward while the soldier
was given mere pittance, that the
money must now be taken from the
pockets of a people burdened now
with taxes almost beyond endurance,
and industry must be taxed into a
condition of paralysis, in order that
the injustice this very leadership COM
mitted may at this late date be cor
rected.
The American soldier has come
home to help carry the burden of an
era of public waste, and worse, which
lays its weight upon every home in
the land. Along with other citizens
of the Republic he is paying the pen
atty for an era of imitation, of extrav-
agance and of gross mismanagement.
That orgy was conducted by the very
political party whose representatives
in public life are now troubling high
heaven with their clamor about the
ludplllIy VI Iut party WHICH Has COHle
into control of a nation brought to
the verge of bankruptcy, to vote bill
lions to the soldiers. The reason the
party now in power cannot vote bill
lions to the soldiers is because so
many billions were wasted by the
leadership that was in control of the
government during the war era.
The greatest blessing that could be
bestowed upon the millions of World
War soldiers in this country is to get
the wheels of industry moving once
more, and furnish the opportunity for
employment which Americans value
more than government bounty. The
cry of "soak the rich" which goes up
from the Democratic camp, not from
conviction but from the lowest mo-
tive of demagogy, will curse rather
than bless soldiers and civilians alike,
if it shall prove to be sufficiently eff
fective to promote taxes that discour-
age rather than encourage industrial
enterprise, send capital into hiding
rather than invite it to investment,
and penalize rather than stimulate
productive activity.

FARMERS MEETING MONDAY
Which Will Be Held at FrOstburg,
AIlegany County.

Allegany County.
Mr.. ]. A. fowler, County Agent
for Garrett county, and Mr.. R. F.
McHenry, County Agent for Allega-
ny county, are cooperating with the
Frostburg Commercial Club in the
holding of large meeting for the
farmers of Garrett and Allegany
counties on Monday, December 5th,
at 2:30 o'clock in the afternoon.
This is strictly business meeting.
1t is called for the primary purpose
of trying to find the solution for GER
tain problems which must be solved
if the farmer is to make any profit
next year from the raising of certain
crops in this section, such as wheat
and pork.
Frostburg has been chosen as the
place for this meeting because it is
centrally located and can be reached
by farmers from both counties over
the National Road.
Farmers realize that ways must
be found to either reduce the present
cost of producing certain necessary
crops or of assuring to him larger
share of the price which is now paid
for these crops by the ultimate con-
sumner.
Three experts have been secured
for this meeting who will discussthese
problems from the practical view
point of business men who have COM
plete knowledge of their subject.
DR.. W. T. Talliaferro and DR.. F. B.
Bromberg, both of the University of
Maryland, and one of the assistants
to the Secretary of the United States
Department of Agriculture, will be
the speakers on this occasion. Far
mers themselves will also be asked
to discuss their various problems.
This meeting is not called to have
the farmer listen to a lot of things
he already knows or for the purpose
OF sympathizing with him. 1t is a
conference of business men to hear
discussions of vital problems and, if
possible, to find the solution of these
problems, all of which bear directly
on the question whether our farmers
will make money next year or wheth-
er they will lose money.
1t is hoped that farmers of Gar
rett will make special effort to at
tend this Frostburg meeting on De-
cember 5th. They are also invited
to bring the whole family along, as
the Frostburg people are planning
some entertainment features for the
wife and children.

Chinese ring pheasants
have lately been introduced into Ma
ryland, as last year the State Game
Department established q State game
farm for the purpose of propagating
these birds as a permanent game bird
of the State. Over 1900 birds have
been liberated by the Department and
an appeal has been issued to hunters
and owners of the land whereon the
birds were liberated to protect them
until they are firmly established. 1t
is the more desired that the propa-
cation of these pheasants should be
firmly established, as they are in
sectivorous, and so will be of great
use to the farmers. Within a few
years it is expected they will be suf-
ficiently numerous to permit of an
open season. In the meantime the
law prohibits the killing of the fe-
male pheasant at any time. 1t is said
the birds become so domesticated that
they will feed with the chickens.
Mr.. and Mrs. George A. Walls, of
Kingwood, en- route to Florida where
they will spend the winter, are guests
of friends in Oakland today.

THAT BELATED OUTCRY FOR
JUSTICE TO THE SOLDIER

1t is impossible, without violating
the proprieties of political discussion,
to properly characterize the dema-
gogy of Democratic congressional
leadership in its sham battle for SOL
der bonus legislation, and its cutlery
against wartime profteering and in
favor of an equalization of the war
burden as between the soldier and
civilian population.
1t was a Democratic administra-
tion, supported by this same Demo-
cratic leadership, which passed in
war time CONSUMPTION act applica-
BILE to persons but not to property
The time for equalization of burdens
between those called to fight and
those permitted to remain in peace
full pursuits, was while the war was
on, and an industrial system neces-
arsily demOralized by war conditions
could not have been made seriously
worse by any eXaction the govern
ment might have demanded.
If, as Democratic leadership in
Congress now alleges, the man who
stayed at home to enjoy unusual re-
turns for his labor or investment was
favored as against the man called to
military service, where lies the re-
spOnsibility? Nowhere but with the
leadership of the party then in power
and which it was unsafe for any man
in public or private life to resist in
the slightest degree, because the psy-
chology of the war branded such OPP
position as unpatriotic. No one
would have questioned any act of
this leadership during the war, with
any hope of success. Then was the
time of equalizing conditions of SER
vice as between the soldier and the
civilian. But the soldier had no vote
and the civilian, especially those CT
villains banded together in powerful
organizations, had to be heckoned
with at the polls. Consequently we
hear present day Democratic leader
ship declaring that so much more
was exacted of the soldier than of
the civilian, and the civilian was per-

byterian church, was installed as
pastor of the Oakland Presbyterian
church on Monday night, succeeding
the late Dr. John Calvin Ely.
The ceremony of installation was
witnessed by large number of Rev.
Grubbs' Pensioners. Had the weather
been propitious the church would no
doubt have been crowded to the
doors.
The Rev. DR.. James E. Moffett,
pastor of the First Presbyterian

sermon and propounded the constitu-
tional questions. The Rev. DR.. Seth
Russell Downie, Frostburg, charged

UPPER POTOMAC MINERS
MAY BREAK FROM UNION
Need of Employment in Order to Sus-
tain FAMILIES Said to be Behind Move

Need of Employment in Order to Sus-
tain FAMILIES Said to be Behind Move
A break between coal miners of the
Upper Potomac region and officials of
the Union, is expected in the near fu-
ture, it was recently learned in min
ing and in operating circles.
1t is declared that miners of the
Upper Potomac region are being
driven to the breaking extreme on
account of distressing domestic cir
cumstances brought about by the
lack of sufficient work and have de-
termined to take the situation in
their own hands and agree to work
for wages lower than those set by the
union, if operators can guarantee
them steady employment.
The alleged dissatisfaction between
miners and union officials is said to
center at Blaine and Kitzmiller where
talk Of a separation is rife.
1t is declared that union officials,
realizing the precarious state of af-
fairs within the organization have
been making frequent visits to Blaine
in an endeavor to keep the organiza-
ton together.
1t is also stated that hundreds of
miners in the organized fields where
operations are practically at a stand
still, are going into unorganized ter
ritory to work at lower wages than
are paid or agreed to in organized
territory, which practice has added
to the chaotic conditions prevailing
in the Upper Potomac field.

AUTOMOBILE BURNED ON ROAD
Senator Speicher's Touring Car De-
strOyed Last Friday Evening.


strOyed Last Friday Evening.
Last Friday evening the Peerless
touring car belonging to Senator H.
J. Speicher, which was being driven
from Oakland to Accident by his son
Dwight caught fire at the foot of
Kings Hill, three miles north of Oak
land, and was completely destroyed.
The cause of the fire was brought
about by the ignition of gas which had
gathered in the exhaust system as
the car drifted down the hill and
when ignition was made prior to as
cending the next succeeding hill the
muffler was blown away and the fire
communicated to the drip pan. In a
very few minutes the car was on fire
all over and was consumed in a re-
markedly short time.
Senator Speicher carried insur-
ance on the car to the amount of ap-
proximately $4,000.

RED CROSS CHRISTMAS SEALS
Sale Begins Friday and Will End On
January First.

January FIRST.
The sale of tuberculosis Christmas
Seals, conducted each year by the
Maryland tuberculosis Association
and its county agencies, will COM
mence on December first; it will end
on January first. Between those dates
it is hoped to collect the $500 nee
essary to carry on this tuberculosis
work for another twelve months.
This is the fourteenth year that the
association has presented its bright
seals to the public as a means where
by it may secure decorations for it's
holiday packages and letters, and, at
the same time, assist in fighting the
most devastating scourge that afflicts
mankind.
With the money received from the
sale of seals and health bonds, the
association supports all of the branch
es of its work: the preventorium for
children at Claiborne, the modern
health crusade in the schools, and 9TH
er educational work. 1t also support
in part, the visiting nurses and the
medical consultant service in the
country districts.
Where other organizations ask for
great sums of money, the tuberculosis
association contents itself with small
sums, and yet so efficient has been its
work in handling the money received
that each year shows a decided de-
crease in the number of cases of tu-
berculosis in the State. Thus, in 1918,
there were 1884 deaths from con-
sumption in Maryland, while in 1920,
there were 2,14S, decrease of 1856 in
two years. Some day, if this per-
centage of decrease is maintained, the
disease will probably be entirely elm
mated; at any rate, it is now 'on the
run" and needs, perhaps, only a per-
sistent and concentrated effort to put
it to rout as a health problem.
The counties, it is declared, should
be particularly interested in the seal
sale,since Is per cent of all the funds
raised in any one of them goes to
fight the disease within its borders.
The sale will, this season, be under
the leadership of Henry F. Baker, the
well-known Baltimore financier. who
has formed an organization which will
give maximum of work at a mini
mum of expense.
Among the officers of the associa-
ton are men in all walks of life:
Archbishop Curley, Bishop John Gard
ner Murray, Rev. A. B. Chalmers, DR..
John F. Fulton, Dr. Henry Barton
Jacobs, DR., Martin F. Sloan, Dr. C.
Hampton Jones, and many others.
They believe, as do all economists,
that spending one dollar for preven-
ton is better than nine dollars for
cure, so, to conquer this terrible
scourge, they are sending fourth the
Christmas seal, a veritable David
against a particularly ferocious Co
Hath.
The committee in charge of the sale
hopes that the number bought may
be greater than ever before, and the
counties are urged to buy with a will,
so that there will have to be no let
up in their warfare against tubercu-
losis

Card of Thanks.

The family of the late Mrs. Eva
Browning, of Deer Park, take this
method of extending their sincere
thanks to the many kind neighbors
and friends who ministered unto their
loved one during her last illness, who
by her faithful Christian life was an
example for all to follow.
