ISRAEL SAID HE DID, WHILE
NOAH SAID HE DIDN'T
Israel Ringer Paid Fine of 500
For Drunken Driving; Noah
Moon Held For Selling Shine

Israel Ringer, of Vindex, who was
unfortunate one day last week when
he was overcome by shine" and fell
asleep at his steering wheel on his
''Fode" car as he was ambling up
Liberty street where he was over
taken by Constable Shartzer but who
made his getaway while the officer
was storing the car, came into town
Monday and gave himself up to the
State officer and went before Justice
West where he was tried on charge
preferred by the constable of having
been under the influence of liquor and
driving his car at the same time.
Israel entered a plea Of guilty and
was fined 500 and costs, which he
paid and was discharged.
At the hearing it developed that as
Israel was coming into Oakland on
the fatal day, he said that he had &C.
casion to stop at the home of Noah
Moon, located few miles away, and
while there Noah insisted that he pur-
chase four pints of shine, guaran-
teed to have a kick. Israel said he
bought the home brew under protest,
not being particularly fond of the
brand Noah put up, but he bought it
just to show that he was friend and
wanted to remain such, in cast that
at some future time he could be ac-
commodated with a drink should he
want it.
Upon the information thus fur
nished, warrant for the arrest of
Noah was issued and in about two
hours afterwards he was brought in
by Constable Shartzer.
When arraigned before the Jus
tice, Noah said he didn't; Israel in
sisted that he did sell him the moon
shine. At any rate Noah was held for
the action of the grand jury, which
convenes on Monday and should that
body find a bill against him he will
have another opportunity to tell his
story when he is brought to trial.

The Garrett County Agricultural
Fair has many outstanding qualities
that are needed in every community.
One of its main values is to show to
the public what can be produced on
the farms of Garrett county in the
way of agricultural products.
The people that attended the Fair
last fall we'll remember the exhibits
and the remarks made by the visitors
that they had never before seen such
wonderful agricultural products. This
alone is a great advertisement for
our county.
The community booth exhibits
shown by the different oranges of the
county are among our best attrac-
tions and show to the public what
the oranges are doing for community
life.
Another very important asset to
the people of the county is the edu-
cational qualities of the Fair. This
is not only shown in the stock and ag-
ricultural exhibits, but in the exhib-
it's of our schools, and the visitor who
is interested in our schools can not
keep from noticing the advancement
they are making.
The Fair also has a social quality.
1t is a means Of furthering our ac-
quaintances with people of our county
and those of adjoining counties. 1t
helps US to realize that what helps
our people helps everybody Educa-
ton and science has so linked US to-
gether that we are like an industrial
plant. We must work in harmony to
prosper.
l believe that the fraternal organi-
cations of our county should cooper
ate with the Fair management and
arrange for good, clean amusements
to entertain the people. 1t is human
nature for prosperous, healthy, happy
people like we have in Garrett county
to like to enjoy themselves, and I
feel sure that both the Fair Associa-
ton and the fraternal organizations
would make it more beneficial by their
cooperation.

SENIOR CLASS PLAY
Of Oakland High School Gradu.
ates to be Presented Next
Wednesday Evening.

The Senior Class of the Oakland
High School will present their play
"Am l Intruding?" at the Maryland
Theatre, Wednesday evening, June
10th, at Sis o'clock. The admission
charge will be 25 and so cents.
The cast is composed of the major
number of the graduating class of the
school, and Judging from former eff.
forts put forth in dramatics by the
same class, the play should be well
presented.
"Am l Intruding?" is a thoroughly
modern comedy, causing laughter ga
lore, and based on a mystery plot that
holds the attention from start to fin
ish, and comes out quite differently
from what anyone in the audience is
expecting. There is really no big
star part, all the people in the cast
having an unusual opportunity tc
shine as individuals.
Throughout the three acts of cam
l Intruding?" the rapid action brings
about one situation after another in
which are mingled thrills and laughs
The comedy is natural, not forced
the characters have the little manner
isms which we see about US in every
day life, and the interest is well sus-
tanned until the final curtain.
Every character in the play is wor-
thy of a star actor, and the cast has
been selected with this in view.

Bankers Club Hands
Out New Uniforms to
Hide Walters Poverty
sy a Worker correspondent

NEW YORK, March 2 - The Bank
ers' Club Of America, 120 Broadway,
last week gave its walters new uni
forms. Up till then they wore some
thing that was fit only to the deep
waters. They were so dirty, torn and
filthy looking that the conditions OF
the slaves could readily be seen. This
was too much for the bankers and
they decided to hide the actuality by
covering it with new uniforms and
make the walters believe that they
are as prosperous" as the bankers.
Mr.. Grant, the headwaiter, called
them all together in the Oak Room
and gave them speech. He told them
that they should shine their shoes,
polish their fingernails, comb their
hair Chose who have any and clean
the uniforms everyday so their ap-
pearance may help the never-lost ap-
petite of the guests. He told them
about coming and going, smoking and
talking but he did not tell them why
he reduced their wages from $50 to
$55. Neither did he tell them why
the walters are not allowed to eat
the same food they serve the bankers
and why on the back of the pay
cards is printed that they (the
waiters) Should not belong to the
union"
Now since these 1875 walters have
learned about what is good for the
club and the bankers it's now time
they learn what is good for them.

accordingly. The new uniforms will
not improve their conditions more
than new saddle improves the con
