ATHLETICS OCCUPYING STAGE
Season Opened July 4th and Num-
Der of Events have Since Taken Place !

Season Opened July 4th and Num-
Der of Events have Since Taken Place
The athletic season at Mountain
Lake Park opened on July 4th under
conditions that to many would have
been discouraging Things were all
set for a great track meet with no
less than six West Virginia record
holders on the track prepared to lower
any Maryland records. But the
weather prevented anything like good
time and those competing could not
come close to their usual perform
ances owing to the heavy track Even
at that all the contestants were en-.
thusiastic regarding this annual ath-
letic event so that next year it is
probable that West Virginia, Mary
land and Pennsylvania will have ath-
letes representing those states rather
than running under school and club
colors.
Saturday, July 9Th, the Backbone
Mountain Baseball Association opened
the season at Mountain Lake Park
with game between Oakland and
Mountain Lake Park. According to
the dope Oakland was due to win,
which she did by score of 10. The
playing on both sides was somewhat
ragged owing to the poor field. AS
the season advances these games,
coming twice each week TUESDAY
and Thursday will gather greater in
terest and support. This week Mt.
Lake plays Deer Park and Oakland
opens the season on the Deer Park
grounds.
Saturday of this week the big wa
ter carnival at Mountain Lake Park
comes off. So far not many swim
mers have entered, but since it is
not necessary to enter the events
more than an hour or so before they
are scheduled to come off, it is eX-
pected that large list of competitors
will be on hand This event will be-
gin at 2:30. All base ball games be-
gin at $3.50.

MISH TO RUN ON Wet
PLATFORM FOR HOUSE
HagerstOwn Man to Contest With
Cy Cummings for Nomination
in this District.

State Senator Frank w. Mish, of
Washington county, has thrown his
that in the ring" He will contend
with "Cy" Cummings, of Montgom-
cry county, who is politically dry, in
the Democratic primaries for the con-
gressional nomination in the Sixth
District.
IF the people would rather elect a
hypocrite than decent business man.
why it's up to them, it's up to them"
declared Mr.. Mish, when sought to
give his opinion on the wet and dry
problem which the Sixth Congress
sional district is facing.
Il am strong believer in temper
ance, but l am no prohibitionist. The
theory of regulating a mans morals
has been worked out and proved
futile in the past. Sumptuary laws
have been tried out and were repu-
dated. Do you know they went so
far as to regulate not only liquor, but
also food and clothing? Even in the
domain of the feminine a law was
passed that women should wear one
color only, except fast women, who
could wear as many colors as they
wished. There was a law regulating
even the kind of shoes to be worn,
until the people became so utterly
sick and tired and disguised that the
whole system had to be abandoned.
II just cannot make up my mind
to shut my eyes to the history of the
past and plunge blindly over an abyss
which l feel is just ahead of US. There
is more disrespect for law in the last
few years than have noticed at any
time in my so years of life. If this
keeps on, it means the breakdown of
the very Constitution of the United
States.
"Where are the great blessings
promised by the prohibitionist? I
do not see them, but while l DO not
use liquor, l see more used now than
ever before.
II think this great question is
bound to be political issue. This
district is dry, but the people know
what is going on. If they would
rather elect hypocrite than a decent
business man, it's up to them, it's up
to them!"

was a shock to the entire community

church at Frostburg. Mr.. Stanton's
eldest brother, the late William T.
Stanton, died at Grantsville, early
during the present wear.

Knights of Pythias Notes of Interest

knights of Pythias Notes of Interest
Garrett Lodge members who were
present at the convention last Friday
evening enjoyed a particularly pleas
ant and harmonious meeting. The at
tendance was unusually large for this
time of year and many out-of-town
brethren were on hand.
AS usual at the first convention in
the month of July the new officers
for the ensuing term We're installed.
This ceremony is always impressive
and the new members present were
especially interested.
Owing to the fact that the lodge
will take a recess during the warm
weather and that there will be no
conventions hereafter until September
there was much important business to
be transacted and the reports of the
various committees to be acted upon.
By the time these notes are printed
many of the brothers will have re-
ceived a communication from the M.
of F. and it is earnestly hoped that
his remarks will receive careful at
tention and prompt response.
The committee having in charge
our third annual Labor Day picnic
is hard at work and the plans so far
developed make it certain that this
will be by far the best that Garrett
Lodge has done.
Work on the outside of our Pythian
building has been started and long
before we again convene in the Cas-
tie Hall the building will present a
vastly different appearance.
Unless some contingency arises our
next regular convention will be on
Friday, September list, and it is hoped
that the attendance on that date will
be large. Final plans will then be
presented in regard to the picnic.
And, speaking of picnics, don't forget
the sedan. This is a walking con-
trivance which the committee will
present to some person and which is
a guaranteed sure cure for sore feet,
that tired feeling and the breaking
of appointments. Every brother and
the public generally will hear more
of this anon and in future, and you
should all watch the advertisements
to come. PUBLICITY COM.

FORD CARS COLLIDE AT LAKE
Both Machines Damaged and One Oc-
cupant Slightly Injured.

Saturday evening about ten o'clock
at point on the Mountain Lake Park
and Deer Park road, very short dis
lance east of the lake at the Park,
two Ford cars, one driven by Oscar
Wolfe, of Kempton, and the other by
Mckinley Paugh, of near Deer Park,
collided head-on. Each car was filled
with passengers and all escaped in
jury with the exception of Miss Marie
Hess, of Deer Park, who was pain
fully cut about her face and neck by
particles Of glass composing the wind
shield of the car in which she was
riding.
Persons passing shortly after the
accident rendered aid to those in
volved in the mishap, Miss Hess being
brought to Oakland where her injur
les were dressed by physician.

HUNTERS CAN NOW TAKE
OUT THEIR PERMITS TO SHOOT
Supply of Licenses Now at Clerk,
Ofiice-Tags to be Worn on Back


As mentioned in the columns of this
paper last Thursday Clerk of the Cir
cult Court E. z. Tower has received
hunting licenses for the coming year
and they are now ready for distribu-
ton. The tags this year are pale
blue. Each fee is the same as last
year for the county and statewide
hunting licenses.
The State Game Commission an
nounces a few changes for the com
ing season concerning the displaying
of the tage while hunting. 1t is the
law now that all tags be displayed
on the back of the hunter, between
the shoulder blades. A fine of SIS is
provided for failure to wear the tag
or wearing it improperly.
All hunting licenses expire June 80.
The cunning season for some kinds
of game and gray squirrels opens on
September l.
During the year the Conservation
Commission has appointed scores of
men all over the county as game
wardens. All wardens obtaining a
conviction of violation of the game
laws are paid part of the fine.
1t is reported that foxes have
played havoc with young rabbits and
quail and that hundreds of pheasants
liberated in the last year have also
gone on the menu list of Sir Reynard.
The imported quail and pheasants
seem stupid and careless as compared
with the few remaining native birds
of the species.

OAKLAND MARYLAND THURSDAY JUI-Yl 1929
ner in the evening.

III III N4AN S'SAAA4ASo'
A luncheon was given by the Com
mittee of the Exposition, now being
held in Tokyo, on July 9th, and Am
bassador Warren feted the party in
the evening.
OF historic interest was the trip on
July 7th to the monument erected
by the Japanese at Kurihama, in hon
Or of Commodore Matthew C. Perry,
U. S. N, who broke Japan's "closed
door" policy and opened that country
to the world on July 8, 1858. This
excursion also included a visit to the
Yokosuka Navy Yard and to the enor-
nous statue to Buddha, one of the
sights of Japan. The day was closed
with dinner party given by the
America-Japan Relations Association
July 8, 8, 10 and II were reserved
for an audience with the Mikado at
the Imperial Palace, for various func-
tions there, including a garden party
and for other festivities and excur-
sions arranged by Senator Weller and
Admiral Uriu.
The benefits of this expedition are
now partially understood and appreci-
ated in Japan and the United States,
but to the future must be left its
complete realization. 1t is receiving
great publicity in both Japanese and
American papers, and the Japanese
Government has done everything
within its power to make this a trip
of international significance.

that President Harding would have Congressional repre-

Gratis Senator Underwood should be named the Amer

EIlRnPE ARLE TO PAY.

ruNHE surprlsng advance OF foreign exchange toward
4 normal rates the progress made by European ma
lions in payment OF debts to private investors and the
ability Of Germany make payments on reparahon ooh
cations are all cited by the Republican Publicity Asso
citation in support Of the policy Of asking our European
debtors TO make early agreements for the liquidation oil
their debts TO our National Treasury
In discussion OF the subject Issued through the pres
den OF The organization Hon Jonathan Bourne, Jr the
association says that reports Of daily transactions in for
egn exchange and foreign bonds thoroughly refuie the
assertion Of debt cancesonsts that European debt
ors cannot possibly pay their war obligations to the
United States Improvement in their merchandise balance
OF trade and their service outside OF merchan-
dslng has so vastly strengthened the situation Of the
eadng European nations that exchange rates stated In
dollars have increased to degree that has astonlshed
the most sanguine. The pound sterling which IN
normal times, has value OF sis5 went as low as s3i9
IN 1890 and is quoted at siAi From % per cent
depreciation It has increased to only nine per cent de-
preciatlon.
Recent reports OF sales OF bonds in the open market
contain the information that while the general level OF
the market is making little headwsy in either direction
foreign issues conspicuous by their strength For the
few days foreign bonds have averaged approximately
% per cent OF the total dealings in bonds on the New
Exchange New high records have been attained by
haN OF issues"
This favorable information Is not limited 10 the ma
ons formerly known as the Allies for commercial re-
ports inform us that exports from Hamburg during Janu
ary exceeded Imports by i70OOOOOOO marks and that
Hamburg regslned so per cent OF Its pre-wsr ship
ping trac despite the fact that Germany is practically
without a mercantile 1eet.
Moreover, the association says one OF the most prom-
nent nnancers in the United states authority for the
statement that government loans obtained in the United
states through private banking houses reached the total
OF s95s1OOOOOO and OF that amount all but about SsS-
have repaid OF those ngures bear no
relation to the eleven-bon-doar debt owed the United
states Treasury What has taken place in the handling
OF those privately distributed securities should be ac-
corded serious consideration by the debt reundng COM
mission The record enectuay dsposes OF the argument
so frequently advanced by pubcsts in certain debtor
governments That they unable to the principal or
even the interest on their obligations to u.s. As matter
OF fact they nave paid the interest and wo-hrds OF the
principal OF the loans obtained from Americans direct
There was no greater al obligation for max
ng those payments than for keeping the interest and
reducing the principal OF the sums owed the American
Treasury In both the money came from the peo-
ple OF this country and It must be returned to them The
refundng commission very properly maintain nrm
stand against any suggestion for remission OF the
amounts due our Treasury.
