Charles L. Hanft was born May 20
1S41, at Homecoming, Md, died Dec.
Is, 1921, at the Cove. Mr.. Hanft
came to the Cove when 10 years of
age He was baptized and confirmed
in the German Lutheran church. In

with Margaret Swartz. To this
union were born II children, three of
whom passed out of this life some
years ago. They were Mary, julius

months and Is days. He was kind
husband and father and was well
loved by all who knew him. He will
be greatly missed by the community
If it were possible he would attend
church every Sabbath. At the time of
his death he was with his son Will
liam, who lives on the home farm.
Mr.. Hanft was about as usual on
Tuesday and retired about 10 o'clock
that evening. About 2 o'clock the

its flight. Funeral services were
held Saturday morning at the Cove
Lutheran church, where he was laid
to rest.

always present at the services until

HUNTERS CAUSE VERY FEW
FIRES IN STATE FORESTS
Only Five In Maryland During Fall
Blamed On Them.


The fall season of forest fires is at
an end, and of the forty. reported
since October l only five were caused
by hunters. The State Forestry
Board believes that warnings which
the conservation commission had
printed on the back of hunting licen-
ses assisted greatly in reducing the
fires.
About $4,000 annually is spent in
this State for forest fire protection.
A third of this comes from the fed
eral government. 1t has been esti-
mated that a lumber company must
spend 212 cents an acre to safeguard
its timber. With Maryland's 2,000,-
600 acres of forest land, at least
$4,000 would be needed. Massachu-
sets, which has perhaps the best
system, spends as high as six cents
an acre.
]. A. Cope, assistant forester in
charge Of fire protection, recently de-
monstrated the fre-fghting tools that
are gradually being give fire war
dens. First, there is a short rake
with four triangular prongs made
from the scissor knives of moving
machines. These sharp blades are
fitted to an adjustable handle so that
the implement can be used as a spade
or rake, or turned all the way down
as briar cutter.
Then there is a kerosene torch
evolved by the department in Balti-
more. 1t is long pipe curved at one
end so that man may move along
a path cleared in front of the fire,
and, by trailing the torch on the
ground, light the fire that is sent
against the one already raging. This
torch is highly approved by wardens
and has been in use for some time.
/ The third mechanism is a water
sprinkler. A tank that can be car
rled on a mans back is fitted with a
hose and an air pump that puts the
water under pressure. With this.
small fires can be halted and flames
that creep over to the wrong side Of
the fire path can be put out.
With these machines a fire warden
should be able to render more effec-
tive service. Mr.. Cope, however, is
going slowly. He wants the men to
approve of them and take them up
themselves. In this way they are
more likely to be used.

LOOK OUT FOR MORE PROPA-
GANDA

No doubt the readers of The Repub-
lican has heard of recent hullabaloo
in New York against our modern his
tories as written by some very able
American college professors.
Don't worry over it, folks. It's all
propaganda. The earmarks of prop
uganda are all over it.
New York is the home of propagan-
da; you may be sure that when a
bunch of fellows anywhere in the
United States get ready to spring
some doctrine or scheme an us simple
folk, they start it in New York with
huge clouds of smoke by day and lots
of fireworks in some big hall by night
People of common sense who think
know that the farther time moves
away from some historical event, the
more truthful must the histories of
that event become. That is because
prejudices die with the generations
that were intimately concerned with
the event. 1t is now about 140 years
since the American Revolution was
fought and it is pretty safe to say
that histories written by American
scholars in the last quarter of cen
fury are more truthful than those
that went before and which propa-
gandists would now like to foist on
us again.
1t is enough to say that the
Daughters of the Revolution approve
the histories attacked.

WHIsKEY BEFORE AND AFTER

The minority has perfect right in
ity against prohibition, but let's have
no misunderstanding about the chief
argument of the vets in their fight
to overthrow the Eighteenth Amend,
ment; to-wit: ~
THAT bootleg whiskey is so bad
that it is better for this nation to go
back to the Reproduction whiskey.'
The pot calling the kettle. black.
The whiskey made by the profteering
"distillers" during the last quarter of
a century of wetness was fully as
villainous as the stuff they sell today
The only difference is that the public
does not know what was happening
from 1890 to 1919. Just as many men
fell, poisoned, on the streets and in
police stations, but nobody paid any
just drunk"
Listen to what the official United
boNCl SSilSuS lOI lJOU
said Twelfth Census):
"MOST mote that most) of the
distilled liquors consumed as a
BEVERAGE by the American
people pass through rectifying
houses. The different classes of
rectified spirits range from the
CHEAPEST CONCOCTIONS of
neutral spirits and DRUGS to
the simple blending of young and
old whiskey."
That was p years ago. MOST of
the liquors were that way then. In
the next Is years, nearly ALL OF
THEM became rottener and viler and
more poisonous. Whskey drinkers
were told that blending" and "recti-
flying" made the whiskey better and
they believed it BECAUSE THEY
WANTED TO BELIEVE 1T. The
truth was that offended" whiskey con-
tanned all the poisons that is in newly
distilled whiskey, and "rectifed" whis-
key contained small quantities of real
whiskey to which was added raw spir-
its, colored water and drugs. No Won
der drunkenness and booze deaths in
creased nightly every year. No won-
der prohibition came.
And all for the benefit of thieving,
murderous profteers who cleaned up
untold millions every year and who
posed as respectable citizens. The
doggery saloon keeper was paragon
of virtue beside them!
But, anyway, let nobody tell you
that bootleg whiskey of today is any
worse than the poisonous chemicals
men drank for ten years before the
Eighteenth Amendment became effec-
tive.

A Game in Which Oakland A. A. Was
Trimmed.

Oakland A. A. met its first defeat
of the season on the home floor last
night, when the crack Hollidaysburg
(Pa.) Y. NJ. c. A. team took their
measure by the score of 23-19. The
game was full of thrills from the be-
ginning to the final signal whistle,
and it was anybody's game until the
referee sounded taps. The first half
ended 14-12 in Oakland's favor, but
the visitors speeded up considerably
in the second period and succeeded
in caging five clean shots from the
field, which gave them lead the
home boys were unable to overcome.
Hollidaysburg is by far the classiest
team to play here thus far, and de-
served to win, although Oakland was
somewhat crippled by the absence
from the lineup of Giessman at guard.
Bolden was also out with a bad hand,
and Walter Hoyt played at center,
where he put up a spectacular game.
John Collins was back in the game
as referee, and his good work did
much toward making the play fast
and interesting. Lineup:

OAKLAND A. A. PUTS CRIMP IN
WINDSOR COLLEGE (MD0 1912
Rice's Playing In Final Half Sews Up
Very Close and Interesting Game


In a whirlwind game here on Mon
day evening Oakland A. A. defeated
the fast team from Windsor College,
New Windsor, Md, by the close score
of 1912, the play during all periods
being featured by especially fast
work on the part of both teams, and
so well did the offense of both out
fits operate that field goals were few
and far between.
The first half ended with the score
7-6 with the visitors on the long end,
but the locals took squirt in the sec
ond half and some good shooting by
Rice, which Melted him three goals,
was enough to turn the trick for Oak
land.
Considerable interest was attached
to the Windsor College team by the
presence upon it of Messrs. n. and
W. S. Speicher, sons of Senator and
Mrs. Harvey j. Specher, of Accident,
both of whom put up a clean, fast
game. The lineup:

organization composed of farmers re-
siding in Allegany and Garrett coun-
ties, met in the Commercial Clubs
offices at Frostburg on last Friday ev-
ening to devise ways and means for
increasing the membership of the or
ganization. At the present time there
are but fifteen members. J. ]. Nor
gan, president of the association. gave
a talk and suggestions were offered
by those present as to how the mem
bership might be increased. Among
those offered was the launching of a
seed potato growing contest. Another
meeting will be held in the near fu-

ing seed potatoes and it is hoped that
large number of farmers will co.
operate in the movement.
