Demonstration Lesson


The regular monthly meeting of the

February 23rd, when it was decided
to- hold St. Patrick's Tea on March

invited.
George Washington's Birthday was
not generally observed in Oakland on
Monday except at the banks, which
were closed all day, and at the post
office, which opened portion of the
day. Flags, however, were displayed
in all parts of the town.
Mr.. c. J. Yoder, of near Grantsville,
accompanied by his son Mr.. Ernest
Yoder, were pleasant callers at The
Republican office Monday. The elder
Coder is proprietor of a chicken farm
of considerable proportions. He finds
an able assistant in the person of his
son. The Yoder strain of stock is
said to be of exceptional quality and
as the fowls are grown in this part of
the country they are acclimated and
should prove more satisfactory than
importations. Mr.. Yoder's advertise
ment will be found elsewhere in this
paper today.

new B. & @. LOCOMOTIVE
IS TWO ENGINES In One
Converted In Sixty-FOur Work
ing Days in The COmpany's
Shops at Cumberland

The Baltimore and Ohio locomotive,
No. 1852, which has been rebuilt along
the lines of a Mallet type of engine,
with two smokestacks and two water
tanks at the Baltimore and Ohio
shops in Cumberland, was given a
try-out Saturday and Sunday in the
freight service of the railway COM
pany over this division of the road.
Engineman ]. L. Pugh and Fireman
]. V. Elbon manned the gigantic To-
connective and on it's trial trip, E. V.
Snow, fuel expert of the company,
with headquarters at Connellsville,
was in the cab making observations
on the fuel demands of the monster on
the trip from Cumberland to Grafton.
The rebuilt locomotive was convert
ed at Cumberland in about sixty-four
working days by Baltimore and Ohio
shopmen, at a cost of approximately
$4,000. 1t functions as a double
header, or like two locomotives. The
smokeStackS are close together, one
being an outlet for the front and the
other for the rear engine. 1t carries
1S5 pounds of steam. The two water
tanks have a combination capacity of
10000 gallons and low pressure ex-
haust injector is another feature.
c. A. Gill, Baltimore, who is super
intendent of motive power of the rail
road, said the construction of the new
locomotive was an experiment and
from observations made in the try
out of the first days of its operations
the engine was a success. Gratifed
at the success of the reconstruction
of the engine Mr.. Gill said another of
the type would be Immediately built.

MOTTO:-..ONE PRICE TO ALL"

Psychologists teach us that
can be what he wills to be and t
what he is now is the result of all
past thinking.
While this statement is an eXagge
alton of facts, still it contains a gre
truth. This statement would be a
truth were it not fact that man
more or less guided by unseen force
by heredity, environment and the il
fuence of suggestion from others. So
as individuals we are not wholly to
blame for being where we are on the
scale of life's mental and moral
achievements.
In the drama of life all kinds of
characters are essential to the perfec-
ton of the play. And so we have
kings and queens, Wallets and buffers.
We have the rich and the poor; the
high caste and the low; the wise and
the ignorant; the sick and the healthy;
the criminal and the kind Samaritan;
virtue and vice; good and evil; and
why?
Because it is in the cosmic scheme
of things that they should be so. 4
And yet man and his Maker are ever
progressive, ever working to reach
higher levels whose ultimate goal is
harmony and unity in life, mind and
purpose-the perfection of nature as,
whole through the perfection of hey
finite parts.
Without some evil in the world we
would not know what good is.
All our faculties and appetites are
given US to use and enjoy in modera-
ton. Lies well-being demands that
our forces be kept in equilibrium. Ex-
tremes bring pain and suffering, and
yet suffering is wha teaches and dis
ciplines mankind the most.
We can gain knowledge from books.
But wisdom and understanding come
with the years and are acquired only
from observation and experience.
The man who only knowns life from
the salon or drawing-room knows but
little of it until he contacts it in life's
kitchen, market place, farms and fac
tories.
In real life we see much sin, sor-
row, suffering, cruelty and crime in
both rich and poor that is preventa-
BILE and needless, allowing US to be
the judge. The prime object of being
here on earth is to gain wisdom thru
experience and the nobility of char
acter.
: In the end our bodily experiences
joys and sorrows and sufferings con-
stitute the minds scaffolding with
which it builds itself into condition
for the appreciation Of higher and
better things.
We have to assume that whatever
is, is right" or deny the Creators
omniscience.

PLANTING TREES

No man has true conception of time nor an
adequate idea Of its passing, until he has lived to
see an orchard of his own planting take root
grow slowly to maturity, come into bearing, be-
gin to succumb to the slow causes of DEATH and
finally be grubbed up and burned.
And by the time man has seen all that, he
has seen much the same process taking place
among his neighbors
Finally, he realizes it is taking place
with himself.
It is wholesome thing, the interest in trees
No other creation is accepted as unthinkingy by
every human being as the handiWork of God The
Veriest atheist, skeptic as he may be as to mans
creation by divine hand looks upon the majesty
of a mighty oak and hears upon his inner ear
the voice of Nature hymning praises to the deity.
Gods hand is in the roots Gods breath is in the
leaves.
The small town IS the natural place to carry
on your experimenting with trees Making a
home in a small town is primarily matter of get
ting II tune with nature and not letting your
neighbors bother You too much. Nothing serves
both purposes so well as setting out few trees
every year and watching them grow
Our experiment this year is with date palm.
TOM C. FOSTER, MINE INSPECTOR
Do you know Tom Foster? Do you know
the duties of Mine Inspector in the state Of
Arizona? IF Tom Foster has failed to perform
his duties, tell US where; if he has served the

The people of Wickenburg have more att
stake in the selection Of the Mine Inspector than
in the selection of any other officer of the law

But if every voter id just that, the complexion

The prince broke his first collar-bone

The identification was made by Holts chauffeur. The oth- CTS under arrest are William Juli- ana, Harry Bentley and Joseph Curry.

All the prisoners were said to have criminal records, and some of them alleged to have formerly been mem- bers of the Eggers band which op- erated on the Pacific coast.
 Cooper was off duty and was play ing with his infant son at his home near the scene of the holdup when he heard the shots. Buckling on his pistol, he joined in the pursuit of the robbers and few minutes | later he was shot when one of them leaped from milk wagon that had been communicated after their auto mobile had been disabled by a po- liceman's bullet Joseph Kaelin, one of the bank runners police guards, was shot through the neck as he stepped out of his automobile and handed the messenger a satchel containing sS0,000.
 Grabbing the satchel, the robbers jumped into their motor car and sped away. followed by policemen and pedestrians A shot by Patrol man Louis Pizzo crippled the flee ing automobile and the robbers, in their haste to escape, left the satchel with their loot in the car which they were forced to abandon.
