Status of Club Work in Garrett
County

For many years agricultural work
with boys and girls has been recog-
nized in America as a great factor in
the future development of the agri-
cultural possibilities of the nation. 1t
has been said that "our hope of the
future as a food producing country
lies in our attitude toward the young
rather than in the Transformation of
the old"
The movement known as Boys and
Girls Club work, which has spread to
every State in the Union, is of COM
paratively recent origin, starting as it
did with simple, grain growing and
stock judging contests. 1t has now
developed into definite organizations
of the young people of the country,
largely in rural sections, and has as
an aim educational, business and So
ciaI training.
Garrett county has not Jagged be-
hind in the movement, but on the
other hand has kept pace and in some
instances surpassed some sections of
the State and nation along the lines
indicated. At the present time there
are five agricultural clubs carrying
on active work in the county.
Of these clubs one is Jersey Calf
club, a second one is a Sheep Club,
while the third, fourth and fifth are
respectively Guernsey, Pig and Poul-
try Clubs. All of the animals owned
by the members are purebred and
registered; the poultry, however, is
not registered. The Jersey calves are
valued at $4,000; the Guernseys at
S2500; the sheep at S2150; the pige at
$500 and the poultry at $500, making
a total of S10,450. This is only an
approximate value and is increasing
each year as the offspring of the diff
ferent animals are raised and kept
on the farms, which in most instances
is being done.
These clubs are so located that the
influence they exert is being felt in
many parts of the county. Every
community, be it large or small,
should contain a club of active, pro-
gressive young boys and girls.

apparently the Mecca of all Klansmen
from Garrett county and adjoining
counties in West Virginia and Penn

cars parked along nearly every street
and vacant space in every part of
town, the occasion being a demon
stration staged by members of the
local Klan, for which preparations, in
a quiet way, had been under way for
some time.
The place of assembly was the Fair
grounds west of town where it is es-
timated more than a thousand Klans-
men had gathered snd where they
robed themselves and marched into
town in three divisions, band lead
ing each unit, the musical organiza-
tions being the Crellin Boys Band,
the Friendsville Band and the Oak
land Band. At the head of the parade
was a truck upon which was mounted
a cross and little red school house.
The Klansmen came into Oakland
from the Fair grounds by way of Lib
erty street, all robed but unmasked.
the streets covered by the procession
were Liberty, Second, Alder, Third,
Center and back to Liberty street and
the Fair grounds at which point an
address to a crowd estimated at three
thousand people was made by men,

The fight between Dencio, the local
