Loss on Bad Eggs

The United States Department of
Agriculture estimates that the total
loss of eggs In the United States each
year due to spoilage, breakage and in
efficient handling from the time the
egg is produced on the farm until it
reaches the consumer is S45,OO0,0O0.
In the final analysis this loss is farm
loss, since smaller price is paid for
eggs to provide for the poor and
broken eggs that go to the consumer.

Although they saw each other often,
Kiddie and this neighbor of his were
not on the best of terms. The trouble
was simply this: they couldn't agree
on the question of horns. Whenever
they met they were sure to have a

WIN. E. PARRISH ELECTED
Chosen Mayor of Sebring, Fla,
at Special Election Saturday

Sebring, one of the boom towns of
Florida, has as its mayor today Gar
rett countian in the person of Rev. w.
E. Parrish, formerly of Mountain
Lake Park, Mr.. Parrish having been
chosen for that office at a special cleo
ton held on Saturday last, which fol-
lowed an earlier balloting conducted
in the month of December, when the
successful candidate of Saturday and
his opponent tied, hence another cleo
ton was ordered.
The result of the election was re-
ceived at The Republican office Satur-
day evening in a Geographic message
sent by Mr.. H. R. Smouse, of near
Oakland, who is wintering in Sebring
with his family, and it is presumed
that Mr.. Smouse, along with numerous
other Garrett county men and women
who are residents of Seibring for the
cold months were factors in the sue
cess of ithe preacher at the polls.

HE FAVORS PUBLIC ROAD
WORK FOR ALL PRISONERS
]. Z. Terrell, Former Warden of
West Virginia Penitentiary,
Gives His Views

]. 2. Terrell, of Parkersburg, form
er warden of the West Virginia State
Penitentiary, in an address to the
Parkersburg Kiwanis Club, advocated
the employment of prison labor by
the State Road Commission in the
building and maintenance of West
Virginia highways. He pointed out
that the use of convict labor for road
work is not only practical but it has
tendency to redeem the convict.
The speaker said that the labor cost
is always a big item in road building
and that a big saving can be effected
by the State with the use of prison
labor, thereby bringing about saw
ing to the taxpayers. 1t was brought
out that at the present time there are
approximately 1900 prisoners at the
State Penitentiary and that at least
80 per cent of these prisoners could
be employed outside the prison walls.
Ohio, Michigan, California and other
States have profted greatly in their
road building programs by using con-
vict labor, Mr.. Terrell said. The ma
tional highway through Ohio was
built by labor from the Ohio Peniten-
tiary at Columbus, he said. 1t was
also brought out by Mr.. Terrell that
the expense of hiring guards for the
men was very small as it has been
found by experience that one guard
can handle fifty men. 1t is only pris-
oners who can be trusted that are al
lowed to do the road work and from
past experiences it has been found
that the prison camp plan is success
full, the speaker stated. The prison
laborers are placed under an honor
system and this has been found very
beneficial in many cases. The outside
employment of prisoners will do more
to redeem the convict than the most
of prison reform movements which
are being proposed throughout the
country, Mr.. Terrell declared.

DWELLING AT LOCH LYNN
DESTROYED MONDAY NOON
Dwelling of Mrs. Irving Deems
Burned During Absence of
the Family.

Monday at noon the Oakland fire
department responded to an alarm of
fire coming from Loeb Lynn Heights,
opposite Mountain Lake Park, with
the chemical apparatus, the fire orig
mating in the home of Mrs. Irving
Deems while the family was absent,
and presumably from gas stove
which had been allowed to burn. The
fire had spread to considerable por-
ton of the house before it was dis
covered with the result that some of
The furnishings were consumed along
with the house, which was completely
destroyed, while some of the house
hold articles were earned out by the
neighbors and thus saved.
Owing to the great depth of the
snow covering the earth it was an i'm
possibility to get the fire fighting ap-
paratus near enough to the burning
building to make the work effective.
The property was recently pur-
chased by the Deems family and upon
it they carried some insurance which,
hover, will not cover the loss sus-
tanned.

RALPH ANDERSON PLEADS
GUILTY TO P. 0. ROBBERY
Admits In Federal Court, Balti-
more, He Aided Negro in Swan
ton Hold-Up 3 Months Ago

When the case of Ralph Anderson,
aged 26, of Swanton, was called for
trial in the United States Court for
the District of Maryland at Baltimore
on Monday, the traverser entered a
plea of guilty before Judge Morris A.
Soper, who was presiding, to being
an accessory in the attempt made
about three months ago to rob the
postoffice at Swanton, sixteen miles
east of Oakland, on the Seventeen
mile grade. Anderson was placed un-
der arrest as suspect by Harry D.
Schmidt, chief of police of the Balti-
more and Ohio Railroad, to whom he
later made a confession Of his part
in the attempted robbery of the office.
Sheriff Guy o. Yutzy, of Garrett
county, assisted by Deputy Sheriff W.
D. Casteel, of Oakland, arrested Hen
derson Hall, colored, the morning fol-
lowing the attempt to rob the Office
Hall had been badly wounded by Post
master Joseph F. Friend, when he was
found in the office by the postmaster.
Hall ecaped from the building, how
ever, and was found lying along the
railway tracks some distance from the
scene. He was brought to the Oak
land Jail and the following morning
was taken into Cumberland hospital
where he was treated for his injuries
for some time and then removed as a
Federal prisoner to the Cumberland
Jail where he still remains. 1t is said
that he has been paralyzed as re-
suit of the wound he received, the
bullet from Mr.. Friends revolver en-
tering his eye and piercing his brain.
Mr.. Friend, in the battle following
Halls discovery in the act of robbing
the post office also received a wound
from bullet fired by Hall, which en-
tered his face and destroyed the sight
of one eye.
Anderson lived with his parents in
a cabin located some distance up on
the mountain from Swanton and in
his alleged confession to the Balti-
more and Ohio officer, declared that
he met Hall on the day preceding the
attempted robbery and that they both
plotted to loot the post office. Ander-
son said he acted as lookout" by re-
naming on watch on the outside of
the building while Hall climbed thru a
window to do the robbing.
1t is only predetermined when Hall
will be tried, The condition of the
man is said to be such that he is un-
able to express his desires, hence he
cannot be brought into court and tried
on the charge standing against him.
What disposition to make of the man
is a source of more or less worry to
the officials having charge of him.

Pythian Banquet Postponed.

1t was recently announced that the
annual Pythian banquet would be held
on February 10Th, that date being
the anniversary of the founding of
the order of Knights of Pythias. At
the time this date was set it was not
known that it would conflict with
other local activities. Out of cour-
tesy to the management of the Chau-
tauqua, the guarantors and the COM
munity at large, it has been decided
to hold the banquet at a later date.
This long-looked for banquet will be
held and the date will be announced
through the columns of The Republi-
can and otherwise.
One of the many features of this
banquet will be the excellence of the
cuisine. The food will not be prepared
in the haphazard manner in which a
man gets his breakfast in hurry
The caterers do not enjoy the distinc-
ton of catering to His Majesty, but
being past masters in the culinary art
they tempt the appetites of the mas
ses. Valiant Knights, with beaming
countenances, bearing bounteously
laden trays, will render efficient SER
vice.
The educational part of the pro-
gram is also worthy of note. Promi-
nent speakers will be present and the
musical feature should not be over
looked. Taken as a whole, the vari-
ETY. of entertainment offered, as well
as the carefully prepared menu should
appeal to the most fastidious and dis
eliminating epicure.
Do not fail to be present at lodge
on Friday night, February 18th, to
participate in and witness the cere-
monies when the rank of Esquire will
be conferred. Let us make this a ses-
sion of unusual interest.
Our new members are requested to
avail themselves of the protection Of
fered by the Insurance Department of
the Knights of Pythias. Brother Ar
thur Townshend, our section secre-
tary, will cheerfully furnish much au-
thentic data regarding life insurance.
We urgently advise you to see Bro.
Townshend at once; then you can eat
all you want at the banquet.

Take No Chances With Red
Clover Seed This Spring.

A circular letter sent out by the
University of Maryland, department
of Cooperative Extension Work, says
that
Unless farmers can be sure of the
source of their red clover seed this
spring, they had better plant mix
ture of alsike clover and alfalfa, ac-
cording to ]. E. Metzger, Agronomist
for the University of Maryland Ex-
pertinent Station.
There have been so many failures
with the red clover crop in recent
years that rather exhaustive trials
have been conducted by many State
experiment stations in cooperation
with the United States Department
of Agriculture to locate the cause Of
the trouble, says Mr.. Metzger.
Recent reports on these tests, in
which seed from domestic and for
eign sources was used, show that red
clover seed produced in Tennessee and
Ohio gave slightly better crops than
Maryland seed. Minnesota grown seed
however, produced less than half as
much as seed from nearby sources.
In fact, Maryland red clover seed pro-
duced as well in Michigan and Ohio as
seed grown in those States.
The tests make it clear, says Mr..
Metzger, that Maryland farmers
should buy red clover seed grown in
northern States and from foreign
sources only as last resort. Seed
from Maryland or nearby states is
recommended whenever it is availa-
BILE. If it cannot be obtained from
these sources, a mixture of alsike
clover and alfalfa is suggested as
likely to be more satisfactory than
poor quality red clover.

An Appeal In Behalf of the Oak
land Library Brings Results

Last Thursday The Republican, in
a short paragraph placed in the local
columns, made an appeal for funds
to support the Oakland Public Lii

ment. This paragraph fell under the
eye of our good friend, Mr.. Robert
Hazlett, of Wheeling, West Va, who
delights to come to Oakland with his
family every year to spend the sum-
mer. Mr.. Hazlett, approaching the
good influence good reading has upon
the mind of the youths of the nation,
responded to the appeal in a substan-
tial manner by sendin his check for
$500, accompanied by the following
letter:

the rising generation cannot now be
computed. Send in your checks, it
matters not whether they be large or
small; they will be greatly appreci-
ated not only by the library officials
but by the people of the entire COM
