opportunity. AS the Board of Educa-
ton then understood the financial lin
itations, it was thoroughly convinced
that four loans of $4,000 annually
was the most practical and feasible
way to meet these demands for school
buildings. 1t has been pointed out
repeatedly that while new school
buildings heretofore may have been
built without such a loan, yet, in
those times the county was not re-
quired to provide so large a sum annu-
ally for salaries of teachers as it is
providing today with still greater re-
quirements for 1921-1922. In Graph
G we have set forth the total annual
amounts paid the teachers in Garrett
county since August 1, 1912, for each
school year up to July 81, 1920; also,
the amount provided in April, 1920,
for 1920-1921 with additional amount
outlined upon the top thereof to des-
ignate the additional sum requested
in the Budget of 1920; as well as the
amount required for 1921-1922. From
this graph it is readily seen that lar
ger amounts are required today than
a few years ago. The data upon which
the graph is constructed are as fol-
lows:

Commissioner Browning interviewed

Commissioner Browning interviewed
While the friends of public educa-
ton in Garrett county have expressed
their willingness to go the limit in
providing funds with which to oper-
ate the public schools of Garrett
County so that the children of the
county may have equal advantages
with those living in other parts OF
the State, the budget as submitted
on Tuesday evening to the Board of
County Commissioners by the Board
of Education, calls for so vast sum
that it is wholly impossible to grant
the demands of the educational board
without working hardship upon the
vast majority of the taXpaying class
of citizens, is the conclusion reached
by the Commissioners and thus ex-
pressed to The Republican last Friday
evening by Mr.. George D. Browning,
president of the Board, who also
stated that ''to grant every demand
made upon the Board of Commission
ers by the Board of Education and to
provide the other fnuds necessary for
roads, bridges, court expenses and the
other items of public expense would
require levy of from 1918 to $500
on each 500 of assessable property in
the county. This tremendous sum
would mean bankruptcy to some of
our people while to all others it would
be hardship. When it is taken into
consideration that the Board ofEduca-
ton, in asking for $3.50, 900 with which
to operate the schools and for new
school buildings for one year only
is approximately the sum of 100000
in excess of the total levy of last year,
it can be readily seen what it means
to operate the schools for one year
is sum of more than 100000 in
excess of the total levy for vast year,
it can be eadily seen what it means
to the taxpayers. As a member Of
the Board Of Commissioners | may say
that the public school system of the
county and State is something that
cannot be treated lightly; the system
means the well being of every boy
and girl of the county and as com
missioner / want it to be known that
so far as l am personally concerned,
and believe l express the opinion of
the other members of the board, that
the school demands shall be given
every consideration due them and that
the largest sum possibly for their OPP
Grafton, consistent with good business
methods and with an eye to the well
fare of the taxpayers at the same
time will be given"

explains and accompanies the budget

on their parents only for a few weeks, or months, in the human family this period of dependence stretches out into years. The object unquestionably IS that there may be ample oppor- .unity for character molding.
 And this is the central purpose of the home-the moral and spiritual nudture of the youthful naure, so that without any need of earthquake con- versions or cyclone revivals the young may grow up into Christ as naturally as by instinct. The young people as well as children, get their religious education and Christian inspiration from the lives of their parents and from their quiet examples. far more than they do get from church and Sunday school. Parents have often woke up too late to discover the fatal results of their neglect and careless ness and have shed tears of bitter use lessness. The fact is that any so- called Christian homes are essentially heather homes, in the ideals and in the atm mosphere with which they sur round the mentality of the young peo- rle-and they will not stand for fypocricy or double life. They can lot live heathens during the week and appear saintly and Christian on Sun day. Frankness and whole-hearted- ness are their characteriStics. What are the sum total and quality of the impressions that the young people of today get in their homes, in the stores and factories and in the circle of their friendships? These quiet and mostly unconscious influences have more to do with the character and religious life of a young person than the oc- casional Sunday school class or going to a church service. What is needed today for the honest development of the religious nature in the life Of our youth, is more cleanness in every day conversation, exemplary manners and conducts. respect to good char acter than to almighty" dollar, and in a word devoted and consistent life, which is honest and Christian to the core. It is ot fair to sit back and criticise the young people. The thing to do is to get in front and lead them through an exemplary life"

COOPERATIVE STORE

 By Local Business Men.

The remaining store of the Corbin- Russwin Stores, Inc, situated at the corner of Elm and Park streets, has been sold by the ~incorporators to Messrs. Al. E. Siderowf and Morris Gordon, proprietors of the New Brit ain market and H. M, Herman, man. agere of the Belton, Wholesale Grocery Co. The financial amount involved has not aneen divulged.
 This store was opened for business in Janhary. -1s19.> by employees of The American Hardware Co. The principal idea being to sell food, groceries. fruit. meat and fish to themselves on a cost plus overhead plan It functioned successfully dur, ing the period of rising prices and those. who were connected with it feel that it had lot to do with. pre- venting profiteering in New Britain. With the recent falling market, prices getting lower all the time. the store as a cooperative institution has lost its usefulness and hence the decision to sell. During the busy season this store was known to do business which ran as high as $500 per day. It is said to be the largest of its kind in the state. t...f..-
 The new proprietors have taken possession and are overhauling the stock and fixtures preparatory to their grand opening on Friday morn ing. They plan to carry the same high grade merchandise as the for mer proprietors did. We are going to give the people the best service of any one in the city, and we. are going to sell them goods at less than jobbers' prices-the highest grade morning.

GOV. LAKES DELAY
 PUTS DOUBT ON LAW
Failure 10 Act Within Three Days May Affect Important Con-
 necticut Bills.

Hartford, June Ex-Governor Lakes failure to act on bills passed by the- legislature, either approving or disapproving them within three days after adjournment, has cast a grave doubt on the validity of a score of inn portant bills, all the big measures, as usual being held lack until the last few days of the session, which was adjourned by constitutional mandate on June s.
 It was said by one of the best le- gal authorities in the state and an ex- pert in legislative matters that the situation was especially unfortunate because of big bond issues which may be attacked as irregular, as we'll as the new bigamy bill, which was in- tended to remedy a wide open defect in Connecticut marriage statutes.
 The constitution provides that if the governor fails to return bill within three days when the Legislature is in session it shall be law. but if the legislature is not in session it shall not he law. Governor Lake has in- sisted he had three days after the en- crossed bills werc, presented to him and that if the printers were slow, he had all the time in the world until the 1923 assembly convenes.
 Governor Lake has pointed out a supreme court decision in the Norwalk town division case of s years ago, but General Healy says that his decision, in declaring the three days" mentioned in the constitution mean three legislative and not calendar days. applied only V hen the assembly was in session.

Boston. June 27.-His own music so soothes Oscar J. Kelley of South Boston that he preferred it to ether while hospital surgeons were probing for bullet in his thigh.
 When doctors started to put Kelley under the influence of the ,anaestheic he objected strenuously. Then he called for his harmonica, jumped upon the operating table and splayed gayly while the bullet was removed.
 The shot was fired after a quarrel between Kelley and his stepson, Frank Tattoon. Tattoon was held on a charge of assault and battery with intent to kill.
