Knights of PYthias Notes

Keen interest is being manifested
by our membership in the proposed
club rooms. At a recent meeting of
the committee prices of furniture and
equipment were compared. Pool ia
bles, comfortable chairs library tables,
floor coverings, draperies and other

By the first of April we hope to be
able to decorate the rooms and in
stall the furniture. When completed
our rooms will be the pride of the
lodge and our members will have a
place where good fellowship, clean
amusements and wholesome literature

FOR INFRINGEMENT
Senator Mccullough Is Against
Salary Increase for Public
Officials

Under date of February 28th State
Senator addressed the following let
ter to The Republican, which was ac-
companied by a copy of a joint reso-
luton published herewith) introduced
by him in the State Senate:
To the Editor of The Republican,
Oakland, Md,
Dear Sir:-I herewith enclose you
resolution which l have introduced,
as chairman of the Committee on Re-
trenchment of State Government EX-
penses. l believe this resolution will
meet with the approval of at least the
heavy taxpayers of the State. Per-
sonally, | am working along this line
and doing everything l can to keep
down expenses of the State govern
ment.
We have about seven million dol
lars of appropriations asked for at
this time, along with the Soldiers
Bonus of nine million, and | feel that
the Legislature should not let the
bars down at this time anywhere. If
they start those appropriations it is
hard to tell where they will stop, and
we certainly do not want to put any
more expense on the State than is
necessary at this time.
l feel the high price period is
about over and we are coming to
normal conditions and that will be
the time to make those improve
mentS.
Yours respectfully,
J. w. MCCULLOUGH

AMER. LEGION ENDORSES
STATE COMPENSATION Bill
Measure Provides for Referen.
DUN to Voters of MARYLAND

At the meeting of Fort Cumberland
Post, No. Is, American Legion last
night, the proposed State adjusted
compensation measure, pending be-
fore the Legislature, was endorsed.
The bill provides for referendum to
the voters of Maryland. Under it's
provisions, all officers, enlisted men,
field clerks, army and navy nurses,
residents of Maryland who were
mustered into Federal service be-
tween March &c, 1917 and November
II, 1918, or their heirs, be paid $40
a month for each month in service.
No consideration will be given those
in the service less than ninety DAYS.
or those dishonorably discharged, de-
serters or discharged or relieved or
not called before January Is, 1918.
1t also provides an educational al
lowance of $50 monthly for those en-
rolled at any college or school, not to
exceed $1,000 in lieu of $40 a month.
Those whose discharges show actual
participation in battle will receive
25 per cent additional.
The bills providing for ways and
means to pay the compensation mea-
sure were also endorsed by the Lee
gion Post. They provide for a tax on
race tracks, small tax on direct in
heritances and large tax on COLA
teral inheritances.
In appreciation of the fact that
Central Y. NJ. C. A. of Cumberland
had given shelter and bathing facili-
ties to several hundred ex-service
men during the years 192O-21 and
1922 during the industrial depression,
Fort Cumberland Post, No. -, passed
resolution to furnish a memorial
room to their dead comrades in the
proposed new "Y." Several Legion
members told how nightly as high as
ten young men, all ex-service men
seeking employment, were sheltered
when vouched for by officers and
members of the Post.
The Post also went on record as ap-
proving a measure for appropriating
funds for the University of Maryland,
providing such appropriation is con-
sistent with the present financial
condition Of the State Of Maryland"
Committees reported that through
the effort of the Legion nearly 100
claims of ex-service men, their
widows, parents or dependents had
been taken up with the Veterans
Bureau. Effort was being made to
get funeral bills paid for ex--service
men who had died since the war from
diseases incidental to their service.
It was also decided that in the future
the Post would only conduct military
funerals for Legion members, or for
the bodies Of men who died in service
Of the Army and Navy, or bodies re-
turned from a foreign land-Cum-

PAY OF The FOREST FIRE
FIGHTERS FOUND UNEQUAL
Speakers at Conference Blame
Different Wages For Pre-
VentiOn Laxity

Higher rates paid wardens and vol
unteer fire fighters in West Virginia
were suggested Tuesday at the Mary
land forest wardens' conference held
in Oakland as probably conductive to
laxity in fire prevention efforts.
Speakers pointed out that in West
Virginia wardens and volunteers
were paid 35 and 80 cents an hour
respectively, for fighting fires. In
Maryland the rates are 25 and 20
cents, respectively. The incentive to
profit by fire fighting, it was said,
probably would tend to a relaxation
of vigilance in preventing fires.
Before the opening of the days
session, the wardens made trip to
| Thayerville, nine miles distant, to in
spect an observation tower. Thence
they drove to the Swallow Falls de-
velopment.
Causes of forest fires were dis
cussed as follows:
l. Railroad fires, by J. r. Con-
don, of the Pennsylvania Rail
road, aud H. r. Potts and C. c..
Cook, of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad. The idea was adj
vanced that maintenance of a
clearing of 100 feet between
tracks and woodland would re-
duce fires from locomotive
sparks to a minimum.
2. Incendiary fires and the
need for a program of education,
by A. L. Sines, district warden
of Garrett county.
3. Fires caused by brush burn
ing, campers, hunters and smok-
ers, with statistics for the last 10
years, by j, A. Cope, assistant
Forester of Maryland.
w. H. Barnard, of Garrett county,
discussed the use Of registered crews
in fighting fires. J. H. Helmstetter,
district warden of Garrett county,
talked on fixing the responsibility
for fires, and J. c. Savage took as his
topic the damage caused by fires and
the benefit of forest protection.

A large crowd attended the first
game of basket ball to be played on
the local floor this year and witnessed
perhaps the most interesting girls
game seen in Oakland in many years
the games being played on Tuesday
evening in MAYORS Hall.
The Terra Alta girls went strong at
first but the Oakland girls gradually
crept up on them. The whistle, how
ever, blew too soon for the local
team which Jagged four points be-
hind.
Miss Speicher and Miss Parsons

making eight field goals. Miss Bur-

teen points scored.

The Terra Alta Ramblers out
classed the Oakland High School
boys all around. The Oakland bows
played hard but the Ramblers were
too large and their pass work and
marvellous shooting made the game
easy for them. Parsons played best
for Terra Alta, making six field goals;
killen also played fine game. Bur
roughs played great defensive game
for Oakland. All the locals worked
hard for points but did not have any
luck to speak of.

bers of the reparat ton commission are
understood to feel that the allied
governments will have to devise some
midway solution before submitting
the reports to Germany, particularly
as the Dawes plan seems to require
genuine German cooperation at every
stage of its progress.
AS one of the principal allied COM
missioners puts it: "'f agreed TO by
both parties the Dawes proposals
are very good: if they are imposed on
Germany-well, hardly"
In any case the reparation COM
missions present attitude, so far as
can be learned, is one of quiescence.

will be carefully studied while await
ing instructions from the various
governments.
