THIRTEEN BOYS ARE MADE
SCOUTS OFTHE FIRSTCLASS
At Largely Attended Meeting
Held Last Friday Night.

Last Friday night there was big
dOings at the Boy Scout rooms when
thirteen boys were made as happy as
the average boy is the day after
Christmas. Following seven months
of hard study and discipline the Scout
Court of Review, with Mr.. Frank E.
Rathbun as chairman, created thir-
teen First Glass Scouts, the fortunate
boys receiving the coveted prize after
having completed the required course
of study and other things incumbent
upon them, were McClelland Dixon,
Robert Stemple, James A. Lee, Ber-
nard Gonder, William Buzzerd, Thos.
Gonder, Richard Stemple, George Alt
stetter, Julius Renninger, Mitchell
Franklin, Robert Stanton, Ernest
Townshend and Kenneth Stahl. These
boys We're each presented with a min
iature first class gold badge by the
Boy Scouts Mothers Auxiliary for be-
coming Scouts Of the first class before
August 1st. The Scoutmaster also
distributed the gold and blue necker-
chiefs, red silk ties and patrol knots,
so that the boys will present a gay
and attractive appearance. Other boys
will soon be made Scouts of the first
class and several who have become
Scouts recently-Andrew Gonder,
Winters and Maroney, are making
good progress.
All of us are very happy that the
camping trip, during which so many
tests were passed, eliminated in these
fine boys becoming first class Scouts.
We want the general public to feel
that at any time they are welcome to
look in on our regular meeting Of the
Scouts. This interest will stimulate
and encourage them.
Mitchell Franklin was elected the
Senior Patrol Leader of the troop, he
being the first boy to have that honor,
and we bet on Mitch" Upon the
Senior Patrol Leader more than upon
anyone else rests the burden Of the
details Of the entire troop He is
otticer-at-large of the troop and is mex
IN rank to that of the Assistant
Scoutmasters. Among his duties he
is to call to order all regular and
special troop meetings; to preside at
all troop meetings with the assistance
Of the adult officers; to have the gen
eral supervision Of all troop activi-
ties and all subordinate officers; Il
appoint all special committees with
the advice of the troop officers and to
devise methods Of increased activi-
ties in all patrols. We shall be watch
ing Mitch. We know he will make
good. THE SCOUTMASTER.

WORLDS LARGEST PASSEN-
GER LOCOMOTIVE IN USE
Hauls National Limited Through
Oakland Twice Daily.

The worlds largest passenger loco
motive, recently completed at the Mt
Clare Shops in Baltimore, is now in
use on this division of the B. & O..
Railroad taking the National Limited
on its journeys between Keyser and
Grafton.
This new monster Of the rails has a
total wheel base, including the tender
of eighty nine feet, and weight of
$4,000 pounds. The driving wheels
are seventy two inches in diameter.
1t is the plan of the officials to use
this type of engine in passenger
service over themountain divisions and
thus eliminate the use of helpers on
the passenger trains. The engine was
first tried out on a thirty car freight
several weeks ago. 1t was then used
on the express and later on passenger
trains No. II and No. 4. It made the
first trip Of its regular run on the
Limited westbound last Friday night
and is continuing that run each night
making the trip over the mountain on
schedule time without the use of the
usual helper which is attached here.
The finished locomotive presents a
beautiful appearance and is represen-
tative of the highest class design,
material and workmanship. All of
'the most modern devices so far sue
cessfully developed are embodied in
the engines construction. 1t forms a
most interesting stud:> IN locomotive
development in the last thirty five
years, when it is compared with one
of the four drive wheel 14O0 type
built in 1890.

jamestown (N.Y.) Players Club
Coming to The Park.

The Players Club of jamestown, N.
Y, will come to Mountain Lake Park,
August 2lst and 22nd, to give "Bunty
Pulls the String" and series of one
act plays. These players are being
brought to the Park by the Women's
Civic Club at the suggestion of Miss
Nell Davis, who very recently saw
"Bunty" given at Chautauqua, N. Y,
with great success. 1t is to be hoped
that the Oakland people and those liv-
ing in nearby towns will take advan-
tage of this opportunity to see a
clever Scotch play admirably done.
Tickets are so cents apiece and will be
on sale in Oakland at Harned's Drug
Store and at Mrs. Harvey's Millinery
Store.

GARRETT SHEEP EXPORTED
TO SOUTHERN MARYLAND
Purchased at Grantsville and
Shipped to Rockville for
Distribution.

Eleven pedigreed Hampshire and
Shropshire sheep, purchased from the
Stone House farm near Grantsville, of
which County Commissioner Henry P.
Miller, is superintendent, have been
taken to Rockville where they will be
sold to stockmen and farmers in the
five Southern counties of Maryland
for breeding purposes.
For many years past Stone House
Farm has made a speciality of produc-
ing purebred sheep which find ready
market in many parts of the United
States, shipments recently having
been made to points in the South and
West.
Farms generally in the county have
progressed rapidly in the past decade
in every line of agriculture and stock
raising and are rapidly gaining a
superior reputation for the high grade
dairy herds, beef cattle and sheep.
Through the importation of pedigreed
sires farm stock of all kinds has been
improved with the natural result that
they are increased in numbers as well
as quality.
The fertile hills of Garrett are nat
urally adapted to the sheep industry
and for grazing. Grantsville and Oak
land districts are both rapidly becom-
ing dairy herd centers for the produc-
ton of butter and dairy products.

Many farmers in the vicinity of
Oakland have posted their lands
against trespassers, especially those
who hunt with dogs, thereby hoping
to keep down the mortality rate in
their flocks of sheep which, according
to one farmer who visited The Re-
publican office Friday, has been quite
heavy during the past year. This far
mer made the assertion that if it had
not been for the ravages of doge on
his sheep he would have today flock
of purebred animals worth at least
S5 900, whereas the animals have been
SO decimated that his animals are now
very few.

Letter from Sally Athcrton to
 Beatrice summers, Continued

sometimes wonder, Bee, if any one ever realizes just what 1t IS all about - this life of ours
 am almost sure that most of us go through 1t in q kind of dream and when we think most that we arc shaping our own destiny we arc being piloted by an unseen Fate toward something that We least de- sire.
 am quite sure that sydney Car ton, if he could help it., would not be in love with the wife of his best friend. He is too decent a man 10 go ahead knowingly with anything of that kind. Indeed, l am not sure that he has ever acknowledged to himself that he Is in love with her. Yet that night at the party his face was an open book and no woman, If he was at all interested, could be in the same room with Sydney Car ton and Leslie Prescott without knowing his secret
 This is. with the exception of Les He. She is perfectly unconscious and don't believe that MT, Prescott knows his best friend is in love with his wife,
 Strange isn't it that the two most interested parties in gossip. q sc- cret or a scandal are the last to recognize the fact that they are the crux of 1t?
 For the one moment when Syd- ney Carton saw Leslie in the arms of another man eagerly looking UT into his face as she was doing, he unconsciously barred his heart to me as I watched him, His soul was stark and naked, and, contorted with its pain, 1t was not a pleasant sight.
 On John Prescott's face there was another story bla2oned. Fo' the first time in his life he had ar inkling that there might be tim' and a person that hc could no manipulate 10 suit himself Hi surprise at the knowledge was al most ludiCrous. One saw that what ever John Alden Prescott migh have thought of his wife he hal never by any possibility though that she might have the sligLAs interest in any man but himself His face was frozen into lines 0 consternation, as well as hate o
