JERSEY CALF CLUB
ORGANIZED IN COUNTY
First National Bank, Oakland,
Finances Proposition.

County Agent Jester in recognizing
the needs Of increasing the dairy in
terests in Garrett county has to that
end organized a Jersey Calf Club, the
first to be organized in Western
Maryland. The project includes the
purchasing registered Jersey stock to
be placed among the club members,
both boys and girls. The entire pro-
position is being financed by the First
National Bank of Oakland in the
following manner: Upon ascertain
ing the value of the calf the Bank
will advance the amount required for
the purchase thereof at the rate of
6 per cent on twelve month notes, re-
quiring only the endorsement of the
club members father.
The dairy proposition in Garrett
county is without exception the
largest paying project associated
with the farm, and all boys and girls
are urged to accept this, the first
liberal opportunity to establish a
business of their own.
Application to the Jersey Calf Club
should be made to Mr. w. c. Jester

TO REBUILD PIKE AT THE
EXPENSE OF The STATE
Such Proposition Endorsed by
Local Chamber of Commerce
at Meeting Last Night

Mr.. r. A. c. Howard, of Kitzmiller,
met the board of directors of the
Oakland Chamber of Commerce last
night at the office of the secretary,
and presented a proposition of vital
interest to the southern section of
the county and to Oakland as well.
West Virginia, at tremendous cost,
is now engaged in reconstructing the
old Northwestern Turnpike from the
Ohio River at Parkersburg through
to the eastern limits of the common
wealth. Several miles of this road,
from the Offutt farm to the Potomac
River at Gormania, passes through
Garrett county. No provision, so far
as can be learned, has been made by
the State Roads Commission, for the
rehabilitation of this road through
the county at the expense of the State
and Mr.. Howard contended that as
the road will be a through trunk line
it should be improved at the expense
Of the State as a whole and not at the
joint expense of the county and State.
He proposed that as the State has an
appropriation of S1,500,O00 for road
improvement and as an amount ap-
proximating $4,000 will be required
10 rebuild the Northwestern road in
this county the amount should be
taken wholly from the State qppro-
priation before it is divided among the
counties, and then the surplus be
equally apportioned as the road to
be built is thoroughly State and not
local proposition.
Should the county be compelled to
build the connecting link Of the road
at her own expense the result would
be that her apportionment of the
State fund would be used wholly upon
this section OF road and nothing will
be left with which to construct other
roads in the county.
Nh. Towards desire is to interest
the local Chamber of Commerce in
the matter and through this organi-
cation interest the Western Maryland
commerce body in an effort to have
The State Roads Commission act indie
pendently an dthus lessen the taxes
locally for this project Mr. Howard
received the assurance of the board
of directors that the matter would be
thoroughly investigated and that full
cooperation would be given.

New Meat Market To Open

Miller Meat Market in Oakland, will
open, within the next month or less, a

years past and has seen the need of
increasing his business facilities. A
large cooler is being installed in con-
nection with a machine that will keep
the temperature in the collier as low
as ten degrees below zero. New cases
are being added along with other fix
lures that 90 to make an up-to-date
market.

Pythian Notes.

Brother Henry Lauer, president of
the local chapter of the Endowment
Rank, in a few we'll chosen words in
formed us that the payment of two
months premiums on all policies had
been waived for the current year.
This amounts to practically a II per
cent dividend to all policy holders.
Since it's organization our Insurance
Department has paid more than $780,
100000 to the benifciaries of our de-
ceased brothers. This, together with
a record of prompt payment of
claims, makes us doubly proud of the

The Deep Creek development will
produce annually more than Al ,000,-
900 kilowatt hours.
The power house for this develop
ment will be constructed in units.

market the energy produced at this
plant.

This situation can be remedied, the
