Those who are attending the Great
Majestic Range demonstration at The
Oakland Hardware & Furniture Co.,
this week are particularly impressed
with the beauty of the ranges. The
finish on the doors and splasher backs
of the ranges is exciting admiration.
The lustrous finish of the cooking
tops can easily be retained-they are
FURNISHED a deep lasting blue that
never requires backing. 1t is easy
to see that these ranges are easy to
keep spick and span. Though these
ranges are being sold at very at
tractive price, every purchaser of a
range is given a beautiful, substan-
tial and complete set of cooking ware,
absolutely free, during the demon
stration. Saturday is the last day of
the demonstration.

YOUNG GIRL AT JENNINGS
ATTACKED BY TWO MEN
Entire Countryside Joined In
Chase For Assailants Of Miss
Hazel Fadely.

Last Friday evening just at dusk,
Miss Hazel Faidley, 16 years old,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Charles
Faidley of the Jennings Hotel. locat-
ed at Jennings, short distance from
Bittinger, was attacked by two un.
known men in the yard of the hotel,
was knocked senseless and carried to
the garden plot near the hotel, where
her assailants left her when some
one at the hotel came upon the back
porch and turned an electric light
on, which possibly frightened the
men away.
Immediately after the assault had
been discovered by the parents of
the girl Sheriff Ashby was notified
and was requested by Mr.. Faidley to
procure bloodhounds with which to
track the guilty parties. The dogs
from Fairmont were secured and on
Saturday morning the officers with
the animals went to Jennings but the
conditions following the rain of the
night before had eliminated any OPP
portunity of the scent being picked
up and the officers returned to Oak
land later in the day without having
accomplished their mission.
The people at Jennings and indeed
the whole section of that part of the
county are very much concerned by
this outrage and it is hard to foretell
what. may have occurred had the
parties guilty of the outrage been
apprehended.
States Attorney Ofutt spent a
portion Of Sunday at Jennings inves-
tigating the affair and upon his re-
turn stated that the entire matter
was rather mysterious. The 70
woman suffered but slight bru
according to DR.. Davis of Gre
vile, who was called to attend her.

crushed by the wheels of the cars
that death ensued at hospital in
Cumberland, to which city he was
taken, at nine o'clock the same ev

an early hour as possible he attemp
ted to board the train as stated above.
His right leg was crushed above the
knee and his left leg below the knee.

The boy retained consciousness I'M
til within a few moments before he
died, although he suffered greatly
from shock.

state House, AHldpOllS, MdICIl 10
-Soundly drubbed in the Senate last
night, the Anti-SaloOn League APP
parently abandoned the field today.
DRY" Senators concurring, the Sen
ate this afternoon passed the Leagues
enforcement bill plus the hitherto
heretical referendum amendment.
The vote was % to A. The quar-
tette which voted in the negative was
Messers. Jones, Montgomery; Robins,
Somerset; Robb, Allegany, and Rus
sell, Kent county.
The following, who last night voted
against the referendum amendment,
today voted for the amendment bill,
Byrne, Cantwell, Disharoon, Harrison,
Mccullough, Mcdaniel, Snader, Tow
ers and Wolfe.
Senator Robb, part author of the
bill and its introducer in the Senate,
voted against his measure, saying
that the referendum amendment has
made it "changeling."
In anticipation of tao extensio Of
State roads through incorporated
towns and cities, Delegate Wolfnger,
Of Washington county, introduced a
bill in the House today providing that
wherever the roads are extended
through the streets of a town they
shall conform with the grades of the
other streets in the municipality.
Funds raised through the gasoline
tax measure passed by the House this
week will be used by the State Roads
Commission to extend the roads thru
towns and cities. At present all State
roads stop at the corporate limits of
towns, with the result that motorists
frequently encounter rough roads
within limits Of small towns and
cities.
Senator Prick introduced the fewer
election bill today. This is an amend
ment to the Constitution and provides
for quadrennial terms by State off
GERS. The measure was drawn by
Secretary of State Perlman, who went
over the ground thoroughly before
completing his work.
At the last moment Perlman's at
tention was called to the fact that
in Baltimore city the terms of Super
visors of Elections would expire one
day prior to the municipal election.
To meet this situation the terms of
the election officials were extended
one month, so instead of going out in
May they will surrender their offices
in June. In other respects the pro-
visions of the bill remain unchanged.
w. McCulloh Brown, former State
Senator from Garrett county, and
member of the State Board of For
estry registered at Annapolis as
lobbyist against the bill introduced
in the House by Minority Floor Lead
er Wolfinger to repeal the law on
roadside trees. The existing law
gives power to the State Forester
only to authorize cutting or trim
ming of trees along improved roads.
Delegate Wolfnger offered his bill
IN the theory that the resident of
cities and of the rural sections were
capable of determining for themselves
when and how to cut and trim trees.

Approximately $50, 100000 worth Of
surplus war materials, turned over by
the War department to the Depart
ment Of Agriculture, were distributed
through the bureau of public roads to
the various states for road-building
purposes up to November l last
Under the Wadsworth-Kahn bill this
surplus war material Is sent to the
states with the sole provision that Ii
be used only for road-building pur-
poses. A vast accumulation of ma
chinery, equipment, supplies and mo-
tor vehicles that was to have been
used in France has thus been diverted
to q useful peace-time purpose.
Included in the supplies distributed
among the states are 27,19S motor
vehicles, mostly trucks; 172 locomo-
tives of various sizes; $4,000 gross
tons Of rails more than 100000
pounds of powder; and nearly 10000

PRUNING WILL GET RESULTS
Fruit Trees, Vines and Bushes, as
Well az FIowering shrubbery,
Require Trimming.

Fruit trees, fruit vines and bushes,
as well as Towering bushes, require
careful pruning to get the best results
fruit and flowers.
There Is some difference of opinion
as to whether the pruning should be
done In the fall or In the early spring.
Despite the argument as to the time,
the pruning is absolutely necessary IL
crops are to be the best possible un-
der weather, soil or other conditions
that may prevail in any particular To-
cality.
In pruning fruit or Towering trees
and vines 1t is well for the one who
wields the pruning knife to know just
how to do the work. One not ac-
quainted with the operation would
best post up on the task before one
seriously wounds the trees or vines
1t is not q difficult task, but one that
Is as necessary each year as cultiva-
tion-for crops cannot be expected un-
less the proper attention is given.
