BIG MOONSHINE PLANT IS
BURNED NEAR AVILTON
Enforcement Officers Find Place
After Hours of Search In
Heavily Wooded Land

After four hours search, beginning
at dawn in the widest section of Gar
rett county last Thursday morning,
Federal Enforcement officers working
out of Cumberland and led by Agent
William R. Harvey, discovered a very
large moonshine plant on the farm
of Freeman F. Garlitz, near Avilton,
Garrett county. Garlitz was cited to
appear in Cumberland for a hearing
Agent Harvey states that the Off
GERS found two barrels of mash and
two gallons of liquor in Garlitz's Gel
lar, and in a vacant house a short
distance away a 100-gallon still In
operation. Garlitz denied ownership
and said "bunch of Hunkies" ran it.
The still was spouting white liquor
when the Federal officers arrived, and
a ten-gallon jar sitting on the floor
was running over. One hundred gal
Ions of finished liquor, fourteen bar
rels of mash and five hundred pounds
of sugar were found in the shanty
The Federal officers poured the "dew"
on the building and lit it off. The
entire building was consumed along
with its contents.
Following the raid at the Garlitz
farm, the officers visited another sus-
pected place and placed George A.
Mason, of Avilton under arrest who
was taken to Cumberland and given
hearing on the charge of "moon-
shining"
According to Agent Harvey, Mason
was found in the home of John E.
Ruby. Ruby is now doing sixty days
for making whiskey. A new still,
mash and six gallons of liquor Were
taken at this place. Mason is alleged
to have threatened to kill the officers
but was induced to put his gun away.
A search developed more hidden liq-
uor and mash in an outbuilding.

CIGAR MANUFACTURING
COMPANY Is ORGANIZED
Concern Capitalized at $4,000
Will Begin Work In Short
Time in Oakland.

The organization of the Haggerty
Cigar Company of Oakland was COM
pleted last night at a meeting of the
stockholders at the office of Messrs.

when the following officers and direc-
tors were chosen: c. N. McIntire,
president; A. D. Naylor, vice-presi-
dent; Delbert Davis, secretary and
treasurer. The board of directors is
composed of Messrs. c. N. McIntire,

of which has already been disposed of
to local people.
Forty-egiht cigar making machines
have been received and are being in
stalled in the Naylor building on Lib
erty street. Each of the machines
will require one operator, either man

PARENT-TEACHERS' ASSO-
CATION MEETING HELD
At Which an Elaborate and In
teresting Program Was
Rendered.

One of the most interesting meet
ing of the Parent Tea1hers' Associa-
ton of the Oakland Grammar School
that has taken place for a long time
was that held on Thursday night, No.
yember goth, for two reasons, viz:
The high grade of program rendered
and the large increase in attendance,
which was more than double of any
of the three former fall meetings,
which was indeed extremely crafty
ing to the teachers and more espec-
tally to the officers in charge of the
Association.
This being Education Week, the
program rendered was along these
lines. We had nine speakers and the
time allowed each for their address
was five minutes and for the manner
in which each handled their subject
they came well prepared as the short
time allotted each was only sufficient
for them to hit the high and impor-
tant spots.
Here is the program as rendered.;

gerness in Garrett county"

Debate, "Resolved, That the Atten-
dance Laws Should be Rigidly En-
forced" Affirmative, Dr.. Archibald
Moore, Mrs. Paul Naylor; negative,
Rev. H. A. Grubbs and E. R. Jones.
1t was a most Illuminating debate
and one worth well hearing, especial
ly the amusing epithets hurled by the
speakers at one another. The judges
decided in favor of the negative.
At the conclusion of the program,
refreshments were served.
The next meeting will De held on
Thursday night, December 18th, when
another splendid program will be Of
fered and Christmas carols will be
sung, at which we all hope to see a
much larger attendance than at the
November meeting.
A Parent-Teachers' Association for
the High School was organized on
Friday night, November 21st. There
were present at this meeting about
$50. The interest of both schools is
entirely seperate and distinct. Many
parents have children in both schools
and are under the impression that
you belong to one association that
! you cannot belong to the other. This
is entirely erroneous. We want all
to join and become members of both
associations and show no partially.
In the grammar school the foundation
is laid and in the high school the
house is completed. c. A. TOWER,
Chairman Publicity Committee

GARRETT COUNTY PUBLIC
HEALTH NURSE ACTIVE
A Nursing Class Formed and
Many Homes Were Visited

What did Miss Wiedman, your pub
lie health nurse, do DUNG the month
of October?
She opened a class in home nurs-
ing in Friendsville; she visited homes
over the county where there were
diphtheria, scarlet fever, typhoid fe-
yer and tuberculosis; she inspected
about two hundred school children.
A number of the most isolated dis
tricts in the Southern part of the
county have been reached.
How may the general public use

If you need health advice write to
her and ask for it, or ask her to call
on you. If you know of a case of
poverty or of illness which has not
the proper care, notify her. If she

mends that he be taken to the physi-
clan, the oculist or the dentist, CO.

will explain and demonstrate treat
. ments which have been ordered by
) the physician, the dentist or the ocu-

LAMBERTVILLE
DRIVER FINED FOR COLLISION
WITH STATE TROOPER

Charles Wilson, driver of truck
for Gilbert & Zahler, was fined $50
and costs, and deprived of his driv-
er's license for the remainder of the
year by Justice of the Peace Elmer
w. Smith, of Lambertville, as the
result of collision with the motor
cycyle of State Trooper John H.
Herman, on Bridge street.
According to the testimony Wilson
was going East and started to turn
into George street, when the collis-
ion took place. Herman was going
West, and said that he did not have
sufficient time to stop when the
truck cut in front of him. He as
serted that Wilson was making a
fast turn, and Wilson declared that
he put out his hand as a signal.
Keirnan's leg and knee were hurt,
and will be X-rayed this week.
The revocation of license is Gus
tomary, it is understood, where a
person Injuries another and is con-
victed of reckless driving as result
thereof.
