Swat the Autumn FIv.

nave you noticed how persistent
and insistent each fly has been that
has buzzed into your house or YOUR
office or into the school room since
the cooler days have come? Because
the ounce of prevention in this partic-
ular case will yield such positive re-
suits, the advice of DR.. John S. Full
ton, Director of the State Department
OF Health is, to be equally persistent
in getting rid of the leftover flies.
The best thing to do" he says, eff
you want to keep down next summers
crop of flies is to treat each fly of the
late fall as your deadly enemy and
swat at it until you lay, it low. The
descendants of the pair of flies that
is taking up winter lodgings in some
sheltered spot under your porch, in
your attic, in your barn, or elsewhere
around the place, will swarm down I'D
on you next summer millions strong
unless you put an end to them now.
Like the COLLINS in the rhyme, the flies
will surely get you if you don't watch
out. Don't leave single one to live
through the winter.
"a single fly lays from one hundred
and twenty to one hundred and forty
eggs at time. A single pair will pro-
duce from eight to ten generations in
a season. The descendants of single
pair run up into the billions. They
breed in filth and they carry disease
from sick to well. For every fly you
kill this fall, you can say to your
self, That means that much less dam
ger to the babies next summer from
intestinal diseases; that much less to
the grown-ups-and to the children,
too-from tuberculosis and typhoid
and from other catching diseases.
''Do the job well while you are at it.

FIRST ANNUAL SUNDAY
SCHOOL RALLY A SUCCESS
Organized Schools From All Sec
lions of the County In the
Parade Sunday Afternoon

With flags flying, bands playing, the
sun shining and the air being just
snappy enough to make walking a
pleasure, the first annual Countrywide
Sunday School Rally to be held in
Garrett county was voted tremend-
Gus success after thousand children,
young men and young women and
older persons of both sexes had parad-
ed through the streets of Oakland last
Sunday afternoon, and ending at the
Maryland Theatre where R. Paul
Smith, of Hagerstown, Md, addressed
the body in a most forceful manner.
In addition to the Oakland units,
large contingents of the Loeb Lynn
Heights, Mountain Lake Park, Deer
Park, Friendsville, Crellin, Oak Grove,
and perhaps a dozen other schools lo-
Gated in different sections of the coun-
ty were present and participated in
the parade and enjoyed the message
of Mr.. Smith and the program as car
ried out in connection Herewith at the
theatre, it being deemed too cold to
hold an open-air meeting as was first
intended by the originators of the
plan.
The cold rain and overcast skies
of the early hours of Sunday was dis
heartening for any outdoor pleasures,
hence the idea of holding the rally
was almost given up until the sun
shone out and warmed the atmos-
phere to some extent.
Had the morning been bright and
warm the probabilities are that the
crowd would have two or three times
as large as it was, but with the sue
cess attending this first effort plans
are already under way for larger eff
fort next year, when the rally will be
held about the middle of September or
possibly earlier.
At the theatre DR.. Archibald Moore,
pastor of ST. Paul's NJ. E. church. pre-
sided. Mr.. E. R. Jones, president Of
the Garrett County Sunday School
ASSOCIATION, aSSlSteu ana rev. Snllhe,
pastor of st. Marks Lutheran church,
introduced the speaker, whose theme
was cooperation and service. Mr..
Smiths address was listened to with
marked attention and was enlighten-
ing in many ways.

ADOLPH c. FREY DIES VERY
SUDDENLY AT YOUNGSTOWN
LocalTheatre Manager Succumbs
To Attack Saturday Night
in Pennsylvania City.

Adolph C. Frey, manager of the
Maryland Theatre in Oakland and
prime favorite with all who knew him,
died suddenly on Saturday night at
Johnstown, Pa, from heart attack.
He was aged forty-fve years.
Mr.. Frey, in company with Mr..
Howard Rineheard, manager of the
Mount Airy Canning Co., of Oak
land, with other friends, had gone to
Johnstown early Saturday morning
to witness football game between
Washington and Jefferson and Carne-
gle Tech. After the game they mo-
tored to Stoyestown, Pa, distance
of about nineteen miles, for dinner
and later in the evening the party re-
turned to Johnstown and went to the
home of friends. Mr.. Frey and Mr..
Rinehard were preparing to leave for
their hotel when the former expert
enced a peculiar sensation in his arm.
The pain was so intense that the
stricken man was almost overcome be-
fore he could cross the room where
he reclined upon couch and within
few minutes he passed away.
Mr.. Frey was the son of Mrs. Annie
and the late Adolph Frey of Frost
burg, Nd He was born on July 3.
1881, at Frostburg and had lived in
his native town until about two years
ago when he came to Oakland to take
over the active management of the
Maryland Theatre. Aside from his
mother he is survived by his wife,
Mrs. Bessie Coulehan Frey, and two
sisters, Mrs. Arthur Kitchens and
Mrs. Emory G. Kitchens, all of Frost
burg. In addition to the interests in
Oakland MIR, Frey, was associated
with the Palace Theatre Company.
which control and operate picture
houses in Frostburg, Brunswick and at
Mount Savage.
Mr.. Frey had been seriously i'll
three years ago, suffering with blood
clots and it was only after a year of
patient nursing that he recovered
from that illness. Since that time he
was in delicate health and was prohib-
tied from over exertoin.
He was a member of the Frostburg
Rotary Club, Frostburg Fire Depart
ment, the Loyal Order of Moose, B. P.
o. Elks and the Knights of Columbus,
being fourth degree member of the
latter order. He was one of the first
Boy Scout masters in Frostburg and
it was largely due to, his efforts that
an organized Halloween celebration
was instituted in Frostburg years ago.
By trade Mr.. Frey was an electri-
clan and in that capacity held posi-
ton with the Consolidation Coal Co.
for several years prior to entering the
motion picture theatre business.
Mr.. Frey's body was taken to Frost
burg Sunday evening and on Tuesday
at $3.50 o'clock the funeral was held
from St. Michael's Catholic church. be-
ing largely attended by friends from
Oakland, Frostburg and other points.

declared the power negotiations mark
ed the climax Of many sacrifices in
Maryland to subserve political ends.
"In the palmy days of old political
organizations" he said, mo stroke as
bold as this was ever attempted. The
controlling forces OF Governor Rit-
chie's party constitute pergovern-
ment within our State. This super
government has dealt a deadly blow
to othe welfare of Baltimore City and
Maryland.
This super-government is sitting

a Public Service Commission compos-
ed of three members under its control
and acting upon its dictation. It in
duces the commission to give away the
most valuable resource within our
State.
at brushes aside the advice of the
Peoples Counsel,who sounded warn
ing regarding the injury that is to be
perpetrated on the State. Not only did
it disregard the advice of the Peoples
Counsel but it so manipulated its
plans that the people were kept in the
dark regarding the ConoWingo trans
action until it was closed. The Gov
ernor is at the head of this super
government and combined with it are
his officeholders and other powerful in
terests."
Following Mr.. Mullikin's address,
Congressman Zihlman was presented
by Chairman Jones. who received an
ovation when he arose to address the
assemblage. The Congressman review
ed briefly the accomplishments of the
National Republican party following
the war, showing conclusively that it
is the party Of economy and not of
wilful extravaganza; the party of
good and equitable government and
appealed to the voters to support not
only the candidates assembled in the
theatre but to return to the United
States Senate Mr.. Weller, thus giving
to the National administration the en-
dorsement of the people of Maryland.
Mr.. Zihlman was followed by Hon.
". F. Broening, former mayor of Bal
timore City, at present the Republican
candidate for Attorney General. Mr..
Broening produced arguments that are
unanswerable in his denunciation of
the extravaganza of the State admin
istration Notwithstanding the fact that
from the same platform upon which he
was standing the Democratic candi-
dates just the night preceding made
the bold assertion that taxes had been
reduced in Maryland and that the
State administration was economical
in every department.
Music for the occasion was fur
nished by the combined Oakland and
Crellin bands, which added materially
to the pleasure of the evening.
