KITZMILLER WINS GARRETT
COUNTY FIELD MEET AT PARE
Some Extraordinary Feats Were Per-
formed Last Wednesday.

Last Thursday, owing to the press
of time, The Republican was unable to
publish any of the details of the track
meet which was held under the aus
pices of the Maryland Athletic League
at Mountain Lake Park which was
participated in by more than two hun
dred boys and girls Of the public
schools of the county, the general re-
suits Of the various events being given
only.
Following are some of the detail s
Of the Fifth Annual Athletic Meet
The weather was clear and the
track, which had been prepared by stu
dents of the Oakland and Mountain
Lake Park schools, was in fine condi-
ton. which made competitors more
ambitious. The dodgeball was played
off in the morning and the Accident
team pulled through with some fast
and extremely clever WORK. In the
afternoon at two o'clock the field ani
track events began. There were many
entries, the program showing a
hundred and ninety, but in fact more
than two hundred boys participated.
There was one new county record
made in the two hundred and twenty
yard dash by Harry Wilson, of Kitz
miller. His time was 2412 seconds. In
the 70 yard dash, Russell Brown, of
the Garrett County High School, and
Edward McClintock, of Friendsville,
were tied and both were compelled to
run in the finals, which Russell
Brown won in seconds.
In the $50 yard relay, Kitzmiller
won in good time with 60 2-5 seconds,
with Garrett County High School in
second place.
In the 440 yard dash, Ray McRobie,
of kitzmiller, was badly fooled, when
within one yard Of the finish, James
Wolfe, Of the Oakland Grammar
school, passed him. This was the most
interesting race of the day. Wolfe,
a little short legged chap, with wind
TO spare in any ordinary contest, was
at McRobie's heels Throughout the
race. Both boys collapsed as they fin
ished.
In the running high jump, Cecil
White, of Kitzmiler, cleared the bar
at feet inches. Herman Kahl, of
the Oakland school, who stopped at
feet 6 inches. cleared the bar at a
feet 81a inches in the presence of all
who saw him lose, right after White
had cleared the 4 feet 7 inch mark.
The $50 yard relay was another in
teresting event won by the Garrett
County High School team, leaving the
Kltzmiller and Grantsville teams a
third of lap behind. The Kitzmiller
team won the one-mile relay, with
Grantsville second. Garrett County
High School was in the lead until the
last lap, when their last man collapsed
on the second lap.

WILL DEVELOP HOLDINGS
West Bethlehem Coal ard Coke Com
pany to Open New Mines

The West Bethlehem Coal and Coke
Company, which will obtain a charter
under the laws of the State of Mary
land, is preparing to develop a large
tract of coal land which was recent.y
purchased by the company and which
is located in the Potomac Valley op-
posite the town of Bayard and wholly
in Garrett county.
Mr.. Ralph Wilson, of Cumberland,
who is in the employ OF the company
as its chief engineer, is now survey
ing and plating the lots for homes
for the miners, laying out the tippla,
plant, power house, etc.
The He'll & Patterson Coal Washer
Co., of Pittsburgh, and the bravo
Contracting Company, and the Fair
mont Engineering Company's repre-
sentatives were on the ground last
week and are now figuring on the cost
of the equipment necessary to oper-
ate the mine after it is open.
The lots being plated by the en-
gineer will be sold to the stockholders
who will build their own homes. This
is strictly union operation and only
stockholders in the company will be
employed.
The property which has been pur-
chased by the company is underlaid
with two veins of coal and both these
the Freeport and Kittanning-will
be operated from the start. The or
ganizers are considering both shaft
and slope for the lower vein.
The plant complete will cost in the
neighbOrhood of 100000.
The superintendent of the new op-
Grafton is Mr.. H. B. Stamper, who was
connected with the Pittsburgh Coal
Company and was recently superin
tendent for the Emmons and other
well known coal companies.

SCHOOL MAINTENANCE AND
THE RIGHTS OF THE TAX
PAYING PUBLIC.

In all parts of the State, from Gar
,ret to Wicomico, the press, Republican,
Democratic and Independent, is dis
cussing at length the problems pre-
sented by the demands upon the sew
eral boards of county commissioners
by the boards of education of the
counties for funds with which to oper~
ate and maintain the public schools
and the hardships upon the tax paying
public that is likely to ensue should all
these demands be met by the commits
sioners' boards and the funds asked
for be provided out of the public
purse. Conditions similar to those ex-
isting in Garrett county are to be
found in Carroll, in Washington and
possibly a majority of the units of
the State.
Generally the press comments upon
school conditions are fairly stated and
discussed and nowhere in the State
has The Republican observed adverse
criticism of the financial officers ac.
tions in not providing the money re-
ouested by the boards of education.
but as a general proposition the com
nlissioners of the various counties
have been commended for not ievying

TAFT URGES PARTY WORKERS
TO SPEED UP FOR CAMPAIGN
Wants Candidates to Permit the Early
Announcement of their NamnS


Chairman Galen L. TAFT of the Re-
publican State Central Committee of
Maryland, has sent a circular to mem
bers in the various counties, urging
them to begin preparations for the
campaign of 1921.
I'VE strongly urge" saws the LET.
ter, "the party and its leaders through
party conferences or conventions in
the counties and Baltimore city, to
induce the ablest and most influential
Republicans to permit the early pub
lie announcement of their names for
the General Assembly and for city and
county offices, and then to seek to Sc
cure their nomination subject to the
action of the primary. The partv's
need, not individual ambition. should
rule the choice.
The entrance of Women into poli-
tics and party activity is welcomed.
Proper consideration sholud be accord
ed them in making up party tickets
and committees, in Baltimore city and
the counties. Women should be grant
ed every political and legal right ac
corded men. Their newly acquired con-
stltutional status should assure them
this privilege"
The Republican., 1921-06-09

the great amounts of money asked for
operating and maintaining the pub
lie schools where evidence is plain that
sums of lesser or larger amounts have
been spent for junketing trips to vari-
GUS points in the country by members
of the various educational boards in
many parts of the State.
Discussing the school situation from
a broad point of view, a recent issue
Of the Tawneytown Record, said edi-
torially:
The Record does not fell qualified
to enter into the merits of the school
system of the State that is calling
loudly for a great deal more money
for schools than the taxpayers relish.
There must be a fair and proper limit
somewhere to school needs and to the
sums that can be profitably spent;
and this limit, in our judgment, can
not be established by either interested
force, working separately.
''Thoses who make a business of de-
vising modern school methods must
content themselves to the reasonable
and practical; and the general public,
the beneficiary of the schools, should
be equally reasonable and practical in
making a study of the situation and
be willing to cooperate on a fair and
mutually beneficial basis.
''It seems to US that there is an an
tagonism existing between school Of
ficials and government officials that
should not exist. The whole matter,
somehow, shows signs of intolerance
on both sides-a conflict between au-
thoritieS, where mutual effort should
exist. The State school officials and
the officials representing the people
evidently need to stop fighting and
get down to working together.
eve have the feeling, but not the
facts to sustain it, that there is too
much modernization or running into
fanciful plans for schools that does
not represent the real education need
ed, or at least does not belong to the
public education that should be pro-
vided by our so-called free schools.
There is, in fact, no such thing as
free Schools but only schools at
public expense, and this expense
should be levied with full appreciation
of what the public actually needs and
not so much what our educators de-
eide that the public needs.
I'VE may not, perhaps, ever get too
much of q good thing but we may
easily be led far afeld in trying to
invent new formulas of good things,
and it is over this question that we
are Just now needing greatly more
light.

VALUABLE PROPERTY OFFERED
UNITED LUTHERAN CHURCH
Farm Of PA Acres, With Woolen Mill
and Stock Given by Mr.. Dawson

Recently Mr.. Lloyd Dawson, of the
adjoining county of Preston, in West
Virginia, proposed to the Rev Martin
l.. Peter pastor of the Aurora Luth-
eran church, that if the United Luth-
eran Church in America would accept
the gift as home for disabled pastors
of that church and in connection there
with establish a summer home for
Lutheran ministers and instructors in
the colleges and seminaries maintained
by the church, he would present to
the Inner Mission of the church his
farm consisting of 214 acres, with all
the improvements thereon, consisting
of barns, well equipped woolen mill,
all the live stock now upon the place
and all other property thereon.
The farm lies Immediately across
the Maryland State line and corners
at the old Chisholm Mill site near the
monument marking Maryland's boun-
dairy on the south. There is now
standing upon the property sufficient
timber with which to erect all neces-
sary buildings for the accommodation
of large number of men who in later
years may seek this as a refuge in
their declining years.
Mr.. Dawson's generosity was laid
before the officers of the Inner Mis-
sion Board of the church in New York
by Mr.. Peter and it is probable that
the property will be accented by that
body, of which DR.. William Freas, of
New York City, is the general secre-
tary and treasurer and who will come
to Oakland aboA the middle of the
present month where he will be met
by the following named members of
the Inner Mission Committee of the
West Virginia Synod of the church.:
Rev. r. A. Hashinger, Rev. L. A. Nc
Cord, Mr.. William c. Williamson, of
Wheeling, Rev. w. r. Harshman and
Mr.. o. C. Wilt, of Ciarksburg. From
Oakland the party will be taken in
automobiles to the Dawson farm to
make an inspection of the property
and probably take it over at the same
time.
The United Lutheran church in Am
erica maintains number of homes
for its members benefit but so far as
authentic information can be secured
there is no provision for disabled min
listers and their dependents in home
such as is planned On the Dawson
farm.
