TWO BARNS BURNED
Those of Charles Zehner and Err.
nest Resi- Prey to Flames

The barns of Charles Zehner, near
Grantsville, and Ernest Resi-. near
Bittinger, were both destroyed by fire
within the past week
Mr.. Zehner and his family, upon
their return home Friday from a visit
to relatives some distance away, dis
covered that during their absence the
building with its contents had been
destroyed. The origin is unknown,
but the supposition is the overheated
hay, which had been stored in it a few
days before, had ignited. Ten tons of
hay, two loads of wheat, harness, a
moving machine and other imple-
ments were burned.
On Thursday night the barn of Err
nest Resh, on the Henry Wiley farm,
near Bittinger, was also burned, de-
stroying his entire crop of hay and
many implements, together with a
number of chickens and other proper
ty in the building. The origin of this
fire is only predetermined.

they are cooled in water and are ready
to be labeled
The labelling process is a very in
teresting one. There are two ma
chimes at the Mountain Lake Park
factory used for this purpose with a
combined capacity of two hundred and
forty cans per minute. This part of
the work is handled by Mr.. Charles
Oursler, whose reputation as a label
er is well known by the Gamers of
the country and whose services is
much sought after.
From the labelling machines the
cans are packed into cases Of two
dozen each and then shipped to the
wholesale houses in all parts of the
country. One carload was sent as far
south as New Orleans q few days ago.
In all nearly thirty thousand cases
were packed this season at the fac
tory. This output may be more than
doubled in another year as the income
from the raising of peas by the farm
ers of the community S quite an item
and the growing of the crop produces
quite an Improvement in the condition
of the land upon which they are
grown, furnishing at a cost OF prac-
tically nothing those ingredients lack
ing in the soil.
The factory at the Park is electri-
cally operated from power generated
at the plant which was built under
the supervision of the company's en-
gineer, Mr.. w. X. Wrightson, while
the electrical unit was handled by
Mr.. Edwin Stackhouse. The employ
ment manager is Mr.. Lincoln Calls,

STILL, MASH AND LIQUOR
CAPTURED BY SHERIFF
Local Officer Employs Methods
Of Government Officials and
Brings Home the Bacon.

Sheriff Guy Yutzy, of Garrett
County, has earned the cverlast-
ing gratitude of the law abiding
citizens Of the community by
his methods of procedure in an
effort to break up moonshining
and the practices of m2onshin-
ers of the section Immediately
adjacent to Oakland.
Employing the methods of
Federal Enforcement officials
yesterday morning Sheriff Yut-
~ visited the farm of Asa Kitz-
miller near Sand Flat and there
discovered a still in actual op-
GRAFTON. SO quietly did the sher-
if do his work that the opera
tives, alleged to be Kitzmiller
and John Erwin, had barely time
to escape arrest by jumping in
to the thick underground sur
rounding the still and got away.
The local official, however, cap
tured the still while it was in opera
ton, two barrels of mash and one
gallon of liquor of 10 proof-sa;I to
be away above the usual brand of
moonshine now on the market in this
section. These contraband articles,
with the exception of the mash, were
brought to Oakland and will be used
as. evidence against the alleged law
breakers.
Kitzmiller was arrested one day
last week by Enforcement Officer
Harvey and taken to Cumberland on
the charge of moonshining where he
gave bond for his appearance before
the United States Court. Kitzmiller
is also under bond in the sum Of $500
for his appearance in the Circuit
Court in Oakland for an alleged liquor
law violation.
The people of the county should in
every possible way give Sheriff 1utzy
every encouragement and assist him
in his efforts to break up the unholy
practice of making and selling this
noxious poison.

APPEALS TO THE PUBLIC
5 in DRIVE FOR SAFETY
Parking Along Highways And
Other Tactics Called Menace
To Lives of Public.

An appeal to the motorists of
Maryland to cooperate with
him in eliminating roadside
parking and other practices
that are making conditions for
automobile driving on the State
roads intolerable, was made yes
terday by John n. Mackall, the
chairman of Maryland's State
Roads Commission upon his re-
turn to Baltimore from an in
spection trip through the noun
tains of Western Maryland.
Mr.. Mackall said present condi-
lions are intolerable. Both the safe
ty and comfort of every motorist on
the State roads are menaced. The
conditions in Western Maryland, thru
the mountains are bad-almost be-
yond belief unless you experience
them yourself.
"The State Roads Commission has
done everything it possibly can to
relieve conditions. We widened the
roads and carefully banked all the
curves through the mountains. Yet
conditions there are infinitely worse
than they were.
INSTEAD of traffic on the main
travelled highways through the noun
tains from the West being speeded
up by this reconstruction of the roads
it is now actually an hour slower.
"The principal difficulty is road
side parking. Stores have sprung up
all along these main roads. People
stop there for supplies. Others stop
to enjoy the scenery. If they would
all drive their cars completely off the
road when they stop and use consid-
cradle caution when they are ready
to regain the road, most of the pres
ent hazard would be removed.
at is mostly habit. One motorist
sees another car parked partly on and
partly off the road and he parks his
the same way. Why, on the tops of
the mountains where we have widened
1.-THE roads, | found not one but two
lines Of automobiles parked on both
sides. There was barely room to get
through and l had to drive slowly and
with great care to avoid collision with
some car pulling into the traffic from
its parking place.
eve are going to put signs on the
curves and grades throughout the
State prohibiting parking, but we will
need the earnest and voluntary CO.
operation of all motorists to make
the step effective"

DR.. WAYNE B. WHEELER
AT The PARK WEDNESDAY
Anti-SalOOn League Head Deliv.
cred Address to Audience
At That Place.

DR.. Wayne B. Wheeler, head of the
Anti-Saloon League of America, was
at Mountain Lake Park last Wednes-
day when he delivered an address to
the people assembled there on the
enforcement of the provisions of the
Eighteenth Amendment. DR.. Wheel
er said in part at his afternoon ad-
dress:
"Drier than ever is the stamp
placed upon the coming Congress by
the primary elections throughout the
country" said Wayne B. Wheeler,
General Counsel of the Anti-Saloon
League, speaking at the Chautauqua
at Mountain Lake Park, Maryland,
Wednesday afternoon of last week.
"The vets boosted that they would
re-elect moist members of the present
Congress and add 60 new opponents
of prohibition, besides II new wet
Senators, thus controlling the next
Congress. Primaries held in 22S Con-
gressional districts have resulted in
179 dry victories. The dry candi-
dates won in 8 of the 10 senatorial
primaries which have been held re-
nominating United States Senators
The popular vote in each election re-
tires to private life more legislators
who were more loyal to the brewer
than to the Constitution. Maryland
has two Representatives in the pres
ent Congress who were loyal to their
oaths of office, to the Constitution
and supported the necessary legisla-
ton to make the Eighteenth Amend
ment operative. On election day this
State will show whether its citizens
are equally loyal"
Accomplishments are worth more
than promises. Men who voted tC
enforce the law as your Congress
man, Mr.. Zihlman, has done have 3
stronger claim upon their constitu,
ency than those suspected of plotting
to break down the law. The endorse,
ment given one candidate in this dis.
trict, Mr.. Winebrenner, by the wei
| forces, is strong reason to believe
that he would vote to weaken the en-
forcement of the Federal Prohibition
Act and defeat its purpose. To des
troy the laws necessary to enforce the
| Constitution, is as indefensible as i
is to sell liquor as a boot-legger.
"The candidate for Congress wht
adopts the brewers cause today i.
committed to a lost cause, as wa.
shown by the rejection of the bee
plank by the national conventions o.
both parties this year.

GIRLS FRIENDLY SOCIETY
BURNS CAMP MORTGAGE
Final Payment on Cottage Along
Casselman River, Bought
for $4,000, is Made.

The burning of mortgage on the
Youghadasse Camp, located on the
banks of the Casselman River, near
Grantsville, one evening recently, was
featured by unique exercises around
camp fire when the Girls Friendly
Society, Cumberland, made a final
payment on their $4,000 cottage.
The property was purchased from
A. A. Williams about three years age
and the money was derived from
dances, suppers, bazaars, rentals or
the cottage and rummage sales given
by the society. The feat is considered
nothing short of marvellous by Mrs
James R. Bell, Baltimore, State Asso-
ciate of the Girls Friendly Society
who is acting as chaperone of the
camping party, and was master OF
ceremonies at the mortgage burning
The cottage is nestled snugly at the
foot of a hill, where shrubs, pines
and wild flowers are growing in abun-
dance, permeating the atmosphere
with perfume which seems to instil
new life and hope into the soul Of the
person who steps across the thresh-
hold of this rustic abode.
The interior of the cottage is arts
tically arranged with rooms for the
campers on both sides of large din
ing hall which in the evening hours
is converted into dancing place. Il
is said to be one of the best camps OF
the Casselman, and there are many.
The Girls Friendly Society opened
camp last Friday afternoon and vii
remain for two weeks. The officers
and members of the society all reside
in Cumberland and are connected witt
Emmanuel church of that city.

MARINES TO MARCH THRU
MARYLAND THIS MONTH
Will Enact the Civil War Strug-
gle At Antietam Between
Lee and Mcclellan.

Maryland will soon be invaded by
the L. S. Marines. The Soldiers of
the Sea, nearly three thousand strong,
and led by Brig.-Gen. Dion Williams.
will leave their quarters at Quanti-
co, Va, late in August and start for
the north to the famous battlefield
of Antietam. Here the arts and de-
vices of modern warfare will be ap-
piled to the problems which confront
ed Lee and Mcclellan when their
forces met at this point 62 years ago.
This will be the fourth of the big
annual field exercises held by the L.
s. Marines at Quantico, who form the
East Coast Expeditionary force. Each
year some well-knOwn battlefield has
been chosen. In 1921 the force went
to Wilderness Va; in 1922, to Get
tysburg;' in 1923 they reenacted the
battles fought in the Shenandoah
Valley, and this year the scene of
one of the most sanguinary struggles
of the Civil War has been chosen.
To reach Sharpsburg the Marines
will travel about 125 miles, begin
ming their journey on August %, and
returning to other base at Quantico
some three or four weeks later. The
trail leads northward through the
District of Columbia and Montgom-
cry county, Md, to Ridgeville, then
almost due west through Frederick
to Sharpsburg. Stops will be made
at several places en- route, and while
in Washington the Marines will prob
ably be reviewed by President Cool
idge.
The force will make the greater
part of the pilgrimage afoot, trucks
being used for certain stages Of the
Journey and some of the Marines
travelling by vessel from Quantico to
Washington.
All the units of a completely
equipped expeditionary force will
take part in the exercises. There will
be signalmen, engineers, infantry
machine gunners, artillerymen anG
aviators, together with medical anC
supply units. Tanks, tractors, anti
aircraft guns, radio, gas bombs anc
other devices Of war, some of which
would astonish the gallant men who
fought under the leadership of Lee
and Mcclellan, will be used in staging
phases Of the Battle of Antietam.
Two or three weeks of special train
ing will be given the Marines at the
base at Quantico before they start
: for Maryland. Following custom Of
other years, it is expected that scores
of military and naval observers, be
sides thousands of civilian visitors
will witness the exercises. The CHIEF
military spectacles are scheduled t.
\ take place between September A anC
/ G. and will doubtless be followed witt
interest by surviving veterans of the
/ Civil War, many of whom have at
( tended the former maneuvers held a
Wilderness, Gettysburg and Shenan
/ doah.
Antietam and other famous battle
fields of the Civil War are chosen be
cause they furnish good locations TO
the working out of modern militar!
problems. They are also chosen a
an educational feature of the Marin
Corps training, the soldiers of the Sc;
finding a new interest in practicins
the art of war where the soldiers o
an earlier time fought for suprem
acy.
