DEMOCRATIC COMMITTEE
ORGANIZED MONDAY
U. o. BlOcher, Grantsville, Made
Chairman On Fourth Ballot

The Democratic State Central Com
nlittee for Garrett county was organ
lied Monday afternoon with the cleo
ton of Mr.. U. o. Blocher, of Grants
vile, chairman; Norval Speelman, of
Friendsville, secretary, and Miss
Frances C. Hamill, of Oakland, treas
urer.
The election of Mr. Blocher as the
chairman of the committee came as a
great surprise to the party workers
and members as well.
1t was generally thought that either
a. T. Matthews or W. R. Browning
would be chosen as head of the COM
nlittee, but switch in the voting on
the fourth ballot threw the election to
Mr.. Blocher.
Vacancies on the Democratic ballot
or at least some of them will be filled
at a meeting of the committee on
Monday was the forecast of one who
stands pretty close to some of its
members.

ALL COUNTY OFFICERS TO
SERVE FOUR YEAR TERMS
Under New Fewer Elections
Law Effective After Coming
November Contests

Under the Fewer Elections law, en-
acted by the last Legislature, all State
and county officials elected to office
in November, will serve terms of four
years. There will be no more coun-
ty elections after November until the
year 1880. However, in 1928 there
will be the usual Presidential election
in Maryland with the congressional
contest.
Under the new law, the six year
terms of Clerk of the Circuit Court
and Register of Wills is cut down to
four years, while that of the County
Treasurer, Sheriff and all other Off
GERS heretofore elected for terms of
two years is automatically increased
to terms of four years.
In former years, the selection of
State and county officers was an ex-
penslve one to the taxpayers, there
being an election of some character
held in the county every year under
the two and six-year tenure of office,
with the Congressional election every
two years and the Presidential cleo
ton occurring at intervals of four
years.
After the November election, the
county officers elected will enter upon
their terms of Office December LIST.

SEVEN STATES JOIN TO
BOOST NATIONAL HIGHWAY
Consolidation of National High.
way Boosters and Old Trails
Body Is Being Planned

When the National Highway Boost
ers Association, organized a month
ago at Uniontown, Pa, met on last
Thursday at GAINESVILLE, Ohio, with
was disclosed that there already was
a similar ganizatioon, known as the
National Old Trails Association in ex-
istence, fact which few of those in
attendance knew about.
J. p. Eagleson, of Washington, who
is vice-president of the National Old
Trails Association, told the gathering
at GAINESVILLE that the association had
been formed in 1912, covering the
highway from Maryland to the Pacific
Coast.
The purpose of the meeting at
GAINESVILLE was to form a permanent
organization known as the National
Highway Booster Association, and to
discuss ways and means of perpetu-
ating the traditions and history of the
Old Trails, advertising It's scenic beau
ty and many points of historical inter
est and to promote additional tourist
travel on the highway.
When Mr.. Eagleston explained that
a similar organization already was in
existence, but had been inactive of
late years because of lack of funds,
George w. Lutz, temporary president
of the National Highway Booster
Association, urged that committee
be appointed with the view of consol-
dating the two bodies, the suggestion
being favorably acted upon.
While several Garrett countians are
members of the National Highway
Booster Association, none of them
could attend the meeting in Zanes-
vile on account of business engage
ments at home.

SILVER Mine In GARRETT
COUNTY TO REOPEN SOON
Western Minerologist Interested
In Developing Abandoned Pit
Which Has Abundance of Ore

1t is reported that tentative plans
for the recovery of silver ore in the
Silver Bell mine in Garrett county,
about IL miles from Homecoming,
which has been abandoned for over
80 years, will be made in the near
future, according to William ]. Mil
Ter, mineralologsit, of Hereford, Ariz.,
who was business visitor at Iona
coming on Tuesday.
Mr.. Miller told business men the
mine was as rich and deposits of ore
were as abundant as many of the
Western mines of the country, and
he planned to reopen the mine in the
near future.
The Silver Bell mine was opened
about 35 years ago on the farm of
Hiram Duckworth, in Bear Pen Hol-
low, Familiarity known as the Back
Woods settlement, by William Hack
er, mineralologist, who then re-
sided at Westernport. Shortly after
it was opened the mine was aband-
oned when the seam ran out. Tests
showed that other seams were near
by, but no effort was made at that
time to locate them. From that time
the mine remained idle.
When the mine was opened many
local men became interested in the
project and became stockholders in
the first company, along with the men
of science from Colorado, Utah and
other western points, who came and
made tests. From their tests the
mineral was found to be native
and worthy of Development
Among the learned men was Mr..
Miller. who no doubt has located an
other seam. Mr.. Miller seems very
DESTROYS to reopen and talked at
length with men interested in the
project.
Another mine known as "Black
Lick" is also in that section, and is
said to be one of the finest in the
country. Extensive deposits of silver
occur at the mine, in combination
with other elements, such as lead,
magnanese, and some gold This
mine is owned by a local man who
was one of the first to discover the
silver ore on the Duckworth farm,
but it too, was not developed.
The mine is now on the farm of
Harvey Broadwater, the Duckworth
estate having been sold b., court ac-
ton at his death.

The Question Of TOnsiIs.

The question as to whether a child s
tonsils and adenoids should be remov-
ed when they are enlarged or infected
can be satisfactorily answered only
after careful examination by physi-
clan, Of the individual child. 1t is
not matter for the lay person to de-
cide," DR.. j. H. Mason Knox, Jr.,
Chief of the Bureau of Child Hygiene
Of the State Department of Health,
said, referring to the large number
of children among those who have
been examined at the health confer
ences held throughout the State I'M
der the auspices of the Bureau, and
who were found to have unhealthy or
diseased tonsils.
"Undoubtedly," he continued, these
structures aid the mouth and nasal
passages in catching and fitering out
particles of dust and other material
that might do in jury if they passed
into the lungs. Fortunately, however,
there are other glands in the mouth
and throat which have similar func-
ton, so that so far as we know at
present, the body does rot suffer when
the tonsils and adenoids are taken
out.
"The reasons for the operation,
when it is advised, are two-fold. First,
because the tonsils, which are found at
each side of the opening into the
throat, catch dust and germs of vari-
Gus kinds which enter with the air and
food, and often become diseased. That
is, they do not destroy the bacteria,
but through their many crypts or tiny
hollows, furnish places in which the
bacteria flourish andgrow and produce
poisons which may spread through the
whole body. Diphtheria is an exam
pie of this kind of action. The germs
Of diphtheria find a lodging place
ready for them in unhealthy tonsil It's
sue and the first evidence of the dis
ease is often noticed in the tonsils.
Second. The other reason for the
removal of the tonsils is that they
may become so large as to partly fill
the throat and make it difficclt to
beathe easily. When this is the case,
there is almost always at some time,
an enlargement of the adenoid tissue
in the upper part of the throat back
of the nose.
ga child with these engagements
cannot breathe comfortably through
the nose. He keeps the mouth open
and is known as mouth breather.
The nose is especially adapted for
warming and filtering the air before
it reaches the lungs and children who
have not this protection are much
more liable to colds and bronchitis
than others.
"Of course tonsils should not be re-
moved from every child. Even large
tonsils may be left alone safely if
their surfaces are smooth and the
child is not SUBJECT to frequent attacks
Of tonsilitis.
"In the examinations that have been
made at the health conferences held
under the auspices Of the Bureau of
Child Hygiene, many of the children
whose health was definitely impaired
were found to have diseased or greatly
enlarged tonsils or adenoids. These
children were all referred to their
own doctors for final decision.
