The Oakland Public Library
Needs Your Help Now.

A food sale for the benefit of the
Oakland Library will be held in the
store of F. A. Smouse, Saturday, the
18th inst, at 200 o'clock p. m. The
Library needs help. All those inter-
ested are urged to make the sale a
success. The entire community should
be interested in the welfare of the
Library and yet comparatively few
help in its support.
The Library Board is coming be-
fore the public to ask for more per-
manent method of financing, through
canvass for one dollar memberships,
these to be paid annually.
Suppose the Library was compelled
to close its doors for the lack of
funds? The children would miss it
more than the grown folks. Shall we
not save it for the sake of the chill
dren who are forming a taste for good
reading through the use of the Lii
brary?

Knights of Pythias of Maryland, in
company with Mr.. ]. w. Whorton, of

Attorneys Taylor Morrison, of
Cumberland, and Ernest Ray Jones,
of Oakland, as receivers of the Poto-
mac Valley Coal Company, give no.
tice in today's Republican that as re-
ceivers they will offer at public auc-
ton in front of the First National
Bank in Oakland, on Saturday, the
9th inst, the property of the coal
company, comprising two tracts of
land, the one of 434 acres and the

sonal property.
The Oakland Public Library is in
need of funds to maintain it as go
ing enterprise of benefit to the youth
of the community The library was
established on a small scale MANY
years ago and with very little out
side help it was operated almost en-
tirely by voluntary contributions from
less than dozen men and women who
saw the possibilities for service in
the growing generations at that time
and grasped the opportunity to serve
faithfully. Later control was
taken over by others and the work
has been carried on with varying sue
cess. The Oakland library is an asset
of more than passing value to the
community and it would be an ever
lasting shame to the good name of
the community if is should be COM
PEELED to cease to function. All will
have an opportunity to help by pa
tronizing the food sale advertised in
The Republican today or by making
a contribution in cash to the fund nee
essary to keep the library operating.

habits, tastes, and points of view, can
possibly be expected to adjust them
selves to each other without some
friction. There is no marriage that
is not full of disillusionS, disappOint-
ments, trials, and tribulations. Only
in fairy tales dc they marry and live
happily ever after. But right think
ing men and women put their dreams
behind them, jack up their courage,
and with philosophy and humor, try
tc make the best of the bargain they
have entered into.
Don't let your parents influence
you too much Every husband and
wife must fight out their own battles
alone. Parents are in the habit of
thinking of their children as just be-
ing part of themselves, with the same
desires and tastes, and it is hard for
them to realize that their sons and
daughters have a distinct entity of
their own. In too many cases it is
mother who first calls daughters at
tention to her son's-in-law weak
nesses, or puts son wise to her daugh-
ter's-in-law faults. If parents would
make it a point to try making ones
children satisfied with the matrimoni-
al bargain the have made instead of
continually calling their attention to
the way they have been taken in and
fOOled-I've an idea there would be
fewer divorces.

THE FIRST YEAR OF MARRIAGE IS THE HARDEST

Dear Miss Flo: When | married my
husband, over a year ago, was mad
ly in love with him. Now l find that
l can barely tolerate him. He is a
coed man, and does everything in his
power to make me happy, but some
thing is missing. He lacks many of
the qualities l long for-alI the ro-
nance seems to have gone from our
life. Do you think we were intended
for each other? l am the only daugh-
ter of well-to-do parents, and both
mother and father want me to get a
divorce. They were opposed to the
marriage because they knew he could
not igve me the things to which l
had been accustomed. Please tell me
what to dc. Helen.
l think, Helen, that the trouble with
you is that your marriage has gone
flat. You have come up against it as
"a fact and cOnditicn-rather than a
theory and romance and now that you
have found it isn't all roses you
want to run back home to mother,
without even trying to adapt your
self to a new life or fulfill any of
your duties as a wife. 1t seems to me
that is rather a cOwardly thing to do,
but if you really want te leave your
husband because he can't give you the
luxuries your parents can give you
if you feel that pretty clothes and
soft living are more necessary to you
than the love of a good man, think
for his sake you had better GO on
with a divorce. For if you haven't
the grit to stand the gaff now, YOU
simply haven't the stuff in you to
make a desirable wife for a poor
man.
But if it is only because all the ro-
nance seems to have gone out of
your marriage, I wouldn't worry too
much; I'd try it a while longer.
No one with experience will deny
that the first year of married life is
time of great danger fer every
young couple. No two persons of
different sex and blood, brught up in
different environments, with different
