To the members of St. Marks

for your returning thanks unto your
God in worship on His holy day. To
those members, who, on account of
Indifference or carelessness, attend
ed church nowhere-in interest for
your soul-may l ask if you will ac-
cept Gods bounteous blessing again,
for another week, and be so migrate
full as not to give recognition to Him
for His goodness to you? He has
richly blessed you with time and
health, can you not give a small part
of that time on Sunday to come to
Gods house to return thanks unto
Him? If God privileges you to come
to His house for worship, to do less is
treating your Savior shamefully. AS
your friend and pastor, for Christ's
sake and your soul, urge you to put
First things First.

MIR. ". ". DAWSON MADE
CASHIER FIRST NATIONAL
Following Resignation of Mr.. r.
E. Sliger, Who Will Manage
Life Insurance Business

At a meeting of the Board of Di-
rectOrs of the First National Bank of
Oakland which was held on Tuesday
morning, the resignation of Mr.. R. E.
Sliger, cashier of the bank, which
has been in the hands of the direc
tors for the past two or three weeks,
was taken up and accepted, and will
become effective on June 18th.
Mr.. Walter W.Dawson, who entered
the bank as bookkeeper in June.
1912, and who has been assistant
cashier since October, 1918, was cleo
ted by the Board of Directors to sue.
coed Mr.. Sliger as the cashier of the
institution. Mr.. Dawson is eminently
qualified for the position and there
is every reason to believe that he
will have the best wishes of his many
friends throughout the county for a
successful administration of the af-
fairs of the bank.
On September 18th Mr.. Sliger will
accept the position of district mana
ger for the Sun Life Insurance Com
pany with which he has been connect
ed for the past fifteen years. He will
have charge Of Garrett, Allegany and
Washington counties, and for the
time being will make his headquarters
in Oakland
The Republican feels that the GUS
toners and friends of the bank will
feel a keen regret at the loss of an
officer that has always had the vel
fare of its patrons at heart and whose
kindness and friendship has been ex.
tended the citizens of the county since
his appointment as it's cashier over
81 years ago. He has been closely
associated with the interests of the
county, having served as president of
the Board of School Commissioners
for six years, and was also the first
president of the Fair Association and
largely responsible for the present
success of the county fair. He serv-
ed for two years as Master of Oak
land lodge No. 1872, A. F. & A. NJ,
and for number of years as deputy
inspector under the Grand Lodge of
Maryland.
In the time that he has been con-
nected with the Sun Life Insurance
Company Mr., Sliger has placed over
one million dollars of insurance in
Garrett county alone, and with an in
creasing business he found that it be-
came necessary for him to give up
bank work.

FIRE AT M'HENRY BURNS STORE
Its Origin Mystery to Proprietor
Farley Sisler, Who Was Absent

Its Origin a Mystery to Proprietor
Farley Sisler, Who Was Absent
Last Thursday night shortly after
midnight the general store building Of
Farley Sisler, along with its contents,
was entirely consumed by fire, the
origin of which is a mystery to Mr..
Sisler and members of his family, all
of whom were absent at the time,
they being at the residence of Mr..
Charles Barr, situated a mile or more
from McHenry, who was entertaining
number of his friends that evening,
and no intimation of the fire was had
by Mr.. Sisler of the occurrence until
his return home about one o'clock on
Tuesday morning when he discovered
his property had been reduced to a
heap of ashes.
Mr.. Sisler had closed his store az
the usual hour on Thursday evening
and with his family went to enjoy the
hospitality of Mr. Barr. At the hour
of closing the store there was no indi-
cation of fire in any part of the
structure, the stove used for heating
the store in the colder months of the
year not having been erected in
anticipation of change in weather
conditions.
Mr., Sisler was engaged in the mer-
camille business at McHenry for up
wards of two years, having purchased
the property from Mr. Lee Winters.
While Mr.. Sisler carried some in
surance upon the building and its
contents the amount will not be
sufficient to cover his losses.

SCHOOL BULLETIN ISSUED
By The Faculty of the Oakland Gram
mar School.

The following bulletin has been is
sued to the parents of the Oakland
Grammar school children by the fac
ulty of that school, bearing date Sep
TENDER 18th, following the fire which
partially destroyed the building on
Sunday morning, and is published by
request of the principal of the school,
Prof. j. Peyton Adams:
Since writing to you last Friday
we have been, as you know, compelled
to leave our school home. However,
the county school officials have pro
vided temporary quarters in the Gar
rett County High School building for
the pupils of the Oakland Grammar
School. In this arrangement the high
school students and teachers have
been very cooperative.
while the High School building is
being uesd for both the High School
and the Grammar School, the follow
ing hours will be observed for the
separate schools:
mornings: From 8:45 o'clock to
12:45, High School; from 500 o'clock
to 1900, seventh grade.
afternoons: From 100 o'clock to
4:30, the entire Grammar School with
the exception of the seventh grade,
which meets in the morning from 500
o'clock until 1900.
"The county school authorities are
anxious to secure suitable and ade-
quate rooms elsewhere conveniently
located in the town. The rooms need
not necessarily be all in one building
for in the present emergency the
rooms for the different grades or
classes can be located in different
buildings. Rooms that are well heat
ed, lighted and ventilated are most
desired. Lodge rooms, Sunday school
rooms, social rooms, rooms in halls,
etc, are of the kind needed. If you
know of any such rooms that may be
secured for any of the classes of our
school, we shall be pleased to have
your suggestion. AS soon as such
rooms can be secured, our school can
then gradually return to the full G.
hour day of school and the High
School will be permitted thereby to
take up again its usual full day of
school for its young men and women,
"Please think over this need with
US and give any of the school people
your suggestions so that our school
may again get to its full day of work
within the next week or so without
being held back, and as we likely will
be for the next two or three months
until the Grammar School building is
repaired, unless we find the kind OF
rooms needed as described above.
"Appreciating your help and sug-
gestions for the good of our boys
and girls, am,
Yours very truly,

Former County Treasurer George
Giessman gives his final notice to de-
linquent taxpayers in this issue of
The Republican in which he states
that all delinquent taxes must be paid
on or before September 18th, other
wise he will proceed by law to collect
the same, which will only entail addi-
tional expense upon those who are
owing the county, so if it is at all pos
sible to do so, it would be well for
those owing taxes to make settlement
on or before the date specified in Mr..
Cheeseman's notice.

GRAMMAR SCHOOL BUILD
ING PARTIALLY BURNED
Smoke Discovered Issuing From
Beneath COrnices at $50
Sunday Morning

About half past five on Sunday
morning last Mr.. Samuel B. Aronhalt,
who has charge of the city's water
pumps from that hour until later in
the day, was passing the Oakland
Grammar school building on Center
street when he discovered that the
entire building was seemingly on fire,
as smoke was pouring from beneath
the cornices on all sides and through
crevices in other portions of the
structure. Mr.. ArOnhalt Immediately
alarmed the town and in a compare
lively short time the fire fighting
equipment was upon the scene and
water from two sides of the building
was being poured through the hose.
The water pressure was weak, how
ever, owing to shortage in the res
ervoir, and not much Roadway could
be made toward putting the fire out
before it had burned through a por-
ton of the second floor and practi-
cally destroyed the belfry, the ceilings
IN several of the rooms and in one or
two instances the heavy timbers sup
porting the roof. Those who have in
spected the building since the fire
occurred report that the second floor
rooms are PRACTICAL Quilted, as we'll
as the roof timbers being so weaken
ed by the flames burning through
many of them that that portion of
the structure is beyond repair.
How the fire originated cannot be
stated and is only matter of con-
lecture upon the part of those who
have advanced several theories.
Saturday afternoon a meeting of
the teachers engaged in school work
in the building was held in one of
the rooms, following which the build
ing was closed and the doors locked.
There was an insurance of $4,000
in force upon the structure and its
contents and this amount, it is
thought by the school authorities, will
be sufficient to make the necessary
repairs, which, however, cannot pos
sibly be completed under a month or
six weeks.
In order to keep the school open,
happy solution of the problem was
reached Monday morning when it was
determined by the school board to
have the children of the grade school
attend classes in the High School
building from one until four in the
afternoon, while the students of the
High School will have classes and
study periods from eight in the morn
ing until twelve noon.

A second fire alarm Sunday even
ing when the streets were pretty well
filled with church-g oers, was oceas-
Toned when a mass debris in an attic
over Johnson's garage at the corner
of Third and Oak streets, was discov-
cred to be burning and smoke pour
ing out from beneath the roof of the
building indicated that a fire of some
proportions was in progress. When
the chemical engine arrived, however,
and an investigation made, it was
found that lot of rags had caught
fire from some cause unknown and
the flames were quickly quenched
with little or no damage to the build
ing as a result.

LEAGUE OF NATIONS
CONvENES THURSDAY
FOR 18TH SESSION
fRv Associe ted Press)

GENEVA, May 10.-The eighteenth
session of the Council of the League
of Nations will open here tomorrow
with the prospect of several important
questions now before the Genoa eco
nomic conference coming up for dis
cussion.
The possibility, for one thing, of the
league going extensively into the Rus
sian question is seen in a request filed
with the league by Norway, asking for
an independent inquiry into the fam
inc in Russia.
1t is also thought probable that the
Genoa conference will refer to the
league the Warsaw health convention
which was drawn up recently at the
Polish capital by all the European
powers, including Russia and Germany.
This convention calls for a general
European anti-epidemic crusade to cost
nearly s7,0O0,000.
May Bury Question
The council of the league took adj
vantage of the Genoa conference to
refer the anti-epidemic project to the
leading European statesmen there,
but it is believed in league circles
that the question will be buried in the
general mass of problems under ex-
animation at Genoa and will have to
be considered finally by the league
council.
The session of the council is ex.
pected to last a week 1t will be pre-.
sided over by Count Quinones de
Leon, Spanish ambassador to France
A feature of the meeting will be
the signing of the economic treaty
between Germany and Poland. cover
ing Upper Silesia. This treaty, which
represents six months of work by the
league, is more than 500 pages long
1t constitutes in effect a final settle
ment of the vexed Upper Silesiar
problem
Mandates for the former German
colonies and the Albanian problem
also will be considered by the coun
