From State Official.

The Garrett County Board of Com
missioners met in special session on
Tuesday at the board room in the
Court House for the purpose of or
ganizing a new board of tax asses
sors who are to have charge of the
new reassessment of real estate and
personal property, which, under the
recently enacted law, is to be made
this year, beginning at once. In ad-
dition to the members of the board
and the recently appointed district as
SCISSORS, there were present at the
meeting County Supervisor E. R..
Jones and Mr.. C. C. Wallace, of Bal
timore, secretary of the State Tax
Commission.

thirty assessors appointed by the
County Commissioners some time
ago to have charge of the work, two

in all parts of the county will begin
at once. The areas included within
incorporated towns will have separate

At Friendsville on Sunday next the
new Methodist Episcopal church, re-
Gently completed by Messrs. F. G. Fox
& Son, contractors and builders of the
town, will be dedicated with appro-
pirate ceremonies. The building is
handsome arched ceiled structure, of
brick, and is located on the site of
the original church which was burned
more than year ago. The basement
of the structure is properly fitted for
Sunday school purposes and has also
a well appointed kitchen and serving
rooms as well as an apartment for
the heating plant, which is now in
stalled. The pulpit is the handiwork
of Mr.. Fred G. Fox, who not only de-
signed but also built the piece of fur
niture which is constructed of hand
some quartered oak. Mr.. w. F. East,
also of Friendsville, filled and oiled
the pulpit and succeeded marvelously
in bringing out the grain of the wood
making it masterpiece. Mr.. East
also decorated the interior of the
church in an artistic manner.

graduated upon the successful
termination and completion of the
objects and purposes of said Dis
armament Conference; and be it
further
Resolved That the Senators
from Maryland in the United
States Senate be requested to
give their support and approval
to the ratification of said treat
les.
'These treaties were ratified by the
almost unanimous vote of the Re
publican party. They prevent war and
promote the cause of peace by stop
ping the danger and economic waste
of excessive naval armament and re
moving misunderstanding. They
have created a new feeling and under
standing between great and jealous
powers. That is the best thing that
has come to cheer the people of the
world since the war ended.
"They have not taken away from
the security of the United States, but
have added to it. They have retained
for America her leadership and will
aid her to reduce taxes and to main
tain prosperity and her high stand
ard of life.
"To maintain this standard of
leadership we cannot compromise
with the fundamentals of American
life-a square deal and equal chance
for every man, an honest days pay
for an honest days work and no die
tatorship by any class or interest. We
have seen in Russia the dreadful ruin
of whole country at the hands of a
small minority that will not yet rec
ognize these American fundamentals,
but that confscate the farmers
crops, denies the right of free labor
to the working man and refuses pro-
lection to persons and property.
GAS l see it, the recognition of
these Republican achievements and
principles is what we have to con-
slider in the Republican primary con-
test. There will be other great ques-
tons in the contest that must follow
the primaries, and | shall be entirely
frank in discussing them when the
time comes. But in the Senatorial pri-
mary within our party we have to
choose between backing up our Re
publican Administration at Washing
ington or regulating what it has
done.
81 am proud to approve It's achieve
ments and, if elected Senator, will
give them my whole-hearted support.
l appeal to you as Republicans to do
the same"

UNJUST CRITISM

the people Of France, and majority
Of the chamber OF deputies, with him

most unfairly. and, finally. worn out
and sick 1t heart, he resigned.
There Is nothing more cruel or more

, FINDING FAULT

What a ,drcary, profitless thing 1t is
10 have to listen to some one recount
the shortcomings Of others. And how
tftcn are we called upon to endure 1t.
But why do we listen?
Time spent In this manner Is not
only wasted. but 1t Is positively injur-
ious. Stories Of this kind poison
our minds. destroying not only conf
'tlcnce in others but in ourselves. No
man can do his best work with his
mind filled with bad thoughts of others
There are times when It doesn't pay
to be polite. Nothing is to be gained
by being polite to the man who comes
with harmful story Of another.
Tell him to get out, and stay out
You can Justify yourself in this by
the knowledge that II he will talk to
you about others he will talk to others
about you.

A plague of locusts. like that which
, In ancient Egypt covered the face OF
the EARTH" this year descended upon
the province OF Santa Fe. Argentina.
Similar offensives are almost annual
events In one part or another Of the
country.
The locusts come suddenly and
without warning. Where. for u year or
several years perhaps not one of the
insects has been seen. n veritable
cloud of them will one day appear
and settle on the ground.
At first little damage is done. but
ms they progress through the country
they, bore holes into the earth. into
which they deposit their eggs. Within
a short time the larvae are Matched
and come forth. At first these can
nor fiy. and It is at this stage that they
devour every living plant within their
path, with the exception OF few
species, such as willow trees.
A little later the insects develop
their wings and. leaving the country
through which they have passed a
desert. they disappear almost as sud
denly as they came. Where they &c
to has never been discovered
