Oxwelding and Cutting Milestones

1 HERE is an unusual and significant
meaning-for the executive and super
intendent of metal using industrial
plant-in the word "Oxwelding."
Because it is Oxweld's mission TO
make everyone who does not know the
vital Importance of the oxy-acetylene
process, realize how much he is denying
himself and his plant.
1t is our aim to make everyone who
can use the oxy-acetylene process use
it, and everyone who is using oxy-
acetylene secure the full value of it.
Well as the oxy-acetylene welding and
cutting process is known, the wide range
of its practical and immediate possibili-
ties are not realized by half, even among
those who use it regularly.
1t is a mistake to think that the oxy-
acetylene process is limited to large
industrial plants, and special machine
shops. Anyone who has problems in

LIBRARY BENEFIT DANCE
To Be Held in Knights of Columbus
Hall, Wednesday, May II

In order to secure money with
which to defray the expenses of the
Public Free Library in Oakland, a
benefit dance will be held in the K of
c. Hall, in the First National Bank
Building, Oakland, on the evening of
Wednesday, May 18th. To this ev-
cry one is invited and an urgent invi-
tation is extended to all who are in
terested in the welfare of the library
and the work it is doing.
The music for the occasion will be
furnished by the Broadway Six Or
chestra of Frostburg, and nothing
further need be said about the quality
of music that will be rendered. It
will be good. Refreshments, consist
ing of ice cream, cake, sandwiches,
coffee and punch will be provided in
abundance, and will be on sale during
the evening. An admittance fee Of
one dollar and fifty cents will be
charged for all couples and for the
men folks, but un-escorted ladies and
all children under the age of IL years
will be charged only fifty cents.
Not only does this promise to be
an enjoyable occasion, but while
tHOSe Ill dIIeHudnce are having q
good time, they will at the same time
be helping the public library and as.
sisting in keeping it going. And this
aid is greatly needed at the present
time. The books of the library have
been in great demand during the
past year, and those in charge have
been busy working and planning for
its continued success, but the funds
are low and even library cannot
keep going without money. So it is
up to the friends of the organization
to patronize this effort to raise mon
ey. If you dance, come; if you don't
dance, buy ticket anyway or con-
tribute the cost of one to the mainte-
nance of the library.
Remember the date-next Wednes-
day evening, May 18th.

MIR. HHLMAN'S PENSION
BILLSON WAY THRU HOUSE
Has Been Successful In Having a
Number Passed.

Congressman Frederick n Zihlman,
who has already made a record for
himself in the number of special pen
sion bills introduced so far in the Six
ty-Seventh Congress, has followed up
these cases so theoretically that out
of the sixteen bills submitted, he has
succeeded in obtaining favorable &C
ton in the House on ten of them.
Only two claims have been actually
rejected, and the remaining four
claims are still pending with the Pen
sions Committee for consideration as
to their merits.
None of the bills mentioned have
become law, as they await the ac-
ton of the Senate, but the fact that
all of them have been passed by the
House practically assures their fav
orable vote in the Senate as soon as
that body can reach them in the reg
ular order of business, which it is con-
tidently expected will be sometime
this session.
Mr.. Zihlman is noted as being one
of the most persistent Congressman
in behalf of his constituents in Con-
gress, and it was only because of his
personal and untiring efforts in many
cases that the proper evidence was
obtained to protect the claims of these
pensioners, who in every instance are
pathetically in need of this financial
assistance.

STRIKE DESERTER MANNED
Joseph Clark Waylaid and Stoned by
Strikers at FinZel. This County

The Meyersdale (Pa.) Republican
of last week contained the following
account of an assault alleged to have
been made upon a strike breaker en-
ployed in the fire clay mines located
near Finzel, in this county:
Joseph Clark, fire clay miner liv-
ing near Finzel, Md, was waylaid on
his wa yto work Wednesday morning
by mob of strikers who stoned him
so severely that he is reported to be
in critical condition and will prob
ably be manned for life. 1t is alleged
that most of his upper teeth were
Knocked out and that a portion of one
cheek was sliced off by a sharp stone.
making a wound that will be hard to
heal.
1t is reported that Clark was al
most killed before his assailants left
nm and gave their attention to Simon
Albright who was also proceeding on
ms way to work along the same road
that Clark was travelling.
Albright was surrounded by the
gang Of strikers who took his dinner
pail from him and threatened to hang
him if he attempted to proceed on his
way toward the mine Of the Union
Mining Company where he had en-
ployment. Albright lives in Green
vile Township. on the PENNSYLVANIA
side of Mason & Dixon's line. and it is
reported that he had made information
against one of his assailants who also
lives in Pennsylvania.
1t is alleged there were about four
teen men in the gang who stoned
Clark and halted Albright, most of
them residents of Maryland in which
state the assault occurred Clark and
Albright identified all of their assail-
ants, it is said, as they were not dis
guised and all are we'll known resi-
dents of the Finzell community. 1t
is expected that prosecutions will be
brought against all of them by the
Maryland authorities.
Clark has wife and ten children
and is said to be a peaceable, in
dustrlous man. He was a member of
the miners union and was out on
strike with the rest of the union men
since last fall, but his means being
exhausted and the strike no nearer a
settlement than it was when it begun,
it is reported he went to the officers
of the union and informed them that
he had to return to work to keep his
family from starving, but was warned
not to do so. He went to work on
May list, however, in spite of the
warning, and the assault on him
speedily followed.

MARYLAND ROADS WAIT
West VIRGINIA PLANS
Unless Commissions Agree On
Route, Former State Will
Delay Construction.

Unless the West Virginia State
Roads Commission can agree with the
Maryland Roads Commission on where
their highways shall meet, the latter
commission will do no highway con-
struction in the Crellin-Hutton neigh
borhood this season. That is the mes.
sage that John N. Mackall. chairman
of the Maryland commission, has sent
to Major C. P. Fortney, of the West
Virginia commission at Charleston. A
copy of the correspondence came into
the hands of Congressman Zihlman Of
Maryland, yesterday.
1.-THE West Virginia department has
definitely located it's primary and Sec
ondary roads coming into Maryland
further down the line at Gnegy
Church, instead of at Hutton" sayg
Commissioner Mackall. 1--WE must
have this situation cleared up before
we can go any further.
while funds are available, we feel
that we should not do this construc-
ton work unless it is going to be a
part of the West Virginia State high
way system. We feel that we should
delay any further construction until
such time as we have agreed on q
route which will meet at the State
line.
"Unless, therefore, some change can
be made in your program you cannot
look for any construction on the
Maryland side this year."

On Monday Helen Leonora, aged 6
years, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.

stantly killed at about the hour of
11:45 o'clock when she was run over
by the rear wheel of truck driven by
Harry Hoffman, of Accident, who had
just completed unloading a lot of lum-
Der in the railroad yard located few
yards distant from the place where

Henderson, children climbed upon the
short running board of the vehicle
Notwithstanding the warning given
them by the driver to stay off. Two
of the boys who were on the truck at
the time jumped to the ground and it
is thought that the little girl, becom-
ing frightened at being left alone, lost
her hold and fell beneath the vehicle,
one of the rear wheels of which passed
over her head and crushed her skull.
Hoffman STOPPED the truck within
two feet of where the wheel rested af-
ter the accident and carried the little
girl into her home whereupon DR.. Nc

that owing to the nature of the inju-
ries sustained by the child nothing
could avail to save her life and death

The directors of the Garrett County
Agricultural Fair Association had a
very interesting meeting at the Court
House in Oakland on Saturday after
noon last.
The principal subject under discus
sion was the purchase of property for
permanent fair grounds. The commit
tee having this in charge, which was
appointed at a previous meeting of
the directors, reported on many sites,
several of which were considered ia
vorable for the purposes, but no def
mite step was taken and the commit
tee was given further instructions
and no doubt will secure grounds for
the fair within the next few weeks.
Other matters of Importance were
taken up and discussed at length.
Representative from several of the
county oranges and community clubs
were present and pledged their sup
port and cooperation in every way
possible to make the fair this year a
success.
At the suggestion of some of those
present, the directors decided to ar
range for community booths at the
fair this year and promised not less
than $500 in premiums for the five
best booths. Every community,
whether organized or not, should have
booth at the fair showing the pro-
ducts of their community. Start now
to plan for this exhibit. Rules gov
