Wounded veterans Of the World War have been
asked to take up the battle for peace lest all they

The whole world is more tired of the constant
wrangings of the politicians peace than was of
the active prosecution of the Little by little the
results of that terrible conflict apparently are being
disSpated through selfshness and greed, and the
world instead of enjoying peace hears fresh rumors of
war and still unsettled the very problems which
the itself was supposed to settle.
Nobody has better right to resent this state of
things than the who sacrificed health and phys

GARRETT COUNTY FAIR
ASSOCIATION MEETING
Held Saturday When c. n.
McIntire Became President.

The stockholders Of the Garrett
County Agricultural Fair Associa-
ton held their annual meeting in
Oakland on January 9Th, which was
one Of the best attended and enthu-
siastic meetings held by the stock,
holders since its organization.
During the life of the new organiza-
ton its officers have had some trying
experiences in their efforts to keep
the association together, conserve its
capital and advance the agricultural
interest of Garrett county. They have
done these things to the best of
their ability, but appreciate the fact
that they can never make this the
Fair they want it to be unless they
have the cooperation of the farmers of
the county.
The association is entering the new
year with renewed hope and earnestly
solicit the cooperation of farmers,
business men and all other citizens of
the county in making this county fair
an annual event that will be clean,
wholesome and instructive to all.
One of the very important steps
taken by the association is the pur-
chase Of fair grounds. This is now in
progress and just as soon as negotia-
tions are completed they expect to
commence the erection of suitable
buildings, modern in every particular,
and which promises ITO be one of the
best equipped grounds in the State.
This alone should be an incentive for
the farmers of the country to begin
now to make plans-for tn e1923 ex-
hibit, so that competition will be keen
in all classes and in all departments.
The men elected to guide the as
ISOLATION the coming year are greatly
interested and if given one half the
support and co-opeNtion they are en-
titled to will make this annual event
something to be proud Of. The off
GERS and directors for the ensuing
year are: President, c. N. McIntire;
vice-president, c. w. Ream; secy-
treas, W. 0. Davis; directors, G. B.
NJ. Friend, Hurley Miller, Guss T.
Hillery, II. v Leighton, c. W. Ream,

Welch, Andrew Shartzer, G. D.
Browning, H. P Miller, A. Lawton,
J. T. Glotfelty, DR.. H. W. McComas,
c. R. Savadge.
If any farmer Of the county have
suggestions to make, any Of the above
men will be mighty glad to bring
them to the attention of the directors
who will give them proper consider
alton.

WANT PIKE PASSABLE
FOR SLEDS in WINTER
Object to Being Isolated Because
of Highway Commissions Action

In mass meeting assembled at the
town of Frostburg on last Saturday
a representative body Of Garrett
county farmers residing in the north
ern end of the county, claiming to
suffer isolation in the snowy season
because of the practice of the State
Roads Commission of Maryland in
removing snow from the National
Highway, discussed ways and means
looking toward securing relief.
About seventy-five farmers were
present at the meeting. They want
enough snow left on the highway that
they may use Their slads in reaching
Frostburg and other market centers
in the Georges Creek region with
their products. In the season of deep
SHOWS in the mountains they cannot
use the lateral roads with automo-
biles or trucks to reach the pike and
after reaching the PIKE they cannot
traverse it they should use their sleds
over the country roads in reaching
it, SO they claim, and it appears, that
they are cut out both ways.
It was indicated by the speakers in
their remarks at the meeting that
there was no objection to clearing
snow from the center Of the pike, but
they argued that it should not be
piled up on both sides, making the
thoroughfare impossible for sleds, the
farmers only means of travel when
the snow is deep on the lateral roads
leading to the pike.
It was decided at the meeting to
have ten petitions presented to all
the voters in the northern and east
crn section Of Garrett county. The
petitions will be forwarded to Govern
or Richie with a letter from r. C.
Darlington, secretary of the Frost
burg Commercial Club, asking for
some manner Of relief.
Those in charge of the petitions
are: District No. 9, Arthur Murphy
and Calvin Wilson; No. Is, Joshua
Turner and David Popp; No. 3, Will
liam Turner and Asa Fresh; Grants
vile, Charles Younkin and Edward
Stanton; Sand Patch, Joseph J. Low
cry, and Finzel, Thomas Grove.

OAKLAND A. A. TRIMS
REXCLUB OF MEYERSDALE
In A Hard Fought Battle Here
Last Thursday Night

The Oakland A. A. Five defeated
the Rex Club team, of Meyersdale,
Pa, here last Thursday evening in
what was conceded to be the most
exciting and hardest fought contest
played on the local floor so far this
season.
The game opened up right lively,
with Oakland somewhat disorgan.zed
by the absence of Walter Hoyt, coach
and captain, and over-anxiety and not
little nervousness, coupled with
some hard luck shooting, let the visit
ing team forge to the front in the first
half, Oakland trailing at the end Of
the period 10 to 5.
The second half told different
story, however, the home boys steady
ing down to their regular style of
play, the team as a whole developing
a regular whulwind squirt both on
o1fense and defense. A quick sue
cession of four field goals just after
the whistle blew tied the score and
set the crowd crazy with excitement,
and thereafter the play of both teams
was fast and furious, with Oakland
having the edge at all times. The
final score was 1921 in favor of Oak
land, Oakland having scored 81 points
in the second half, while TIE Mey ers-
dale elan were gathering but points.
Bolden, who jumped center instead
Of Hoyt, put up a corking game, and
was admirably supported by Dewey
Rice, Ted" Scott, and the two guards,
R. Scott and Funk. Hoblitzall, for
Meyerzdale dazzled the crowd with
several long distance field goals and
his general all round play. The next
game will be played on Saturday
evening with the Gettysburg Sami-
narians as the attraction. This is a
fast team and a good game is ex.
pected. Lineup and Summary fol
