The State Roads Commission of
Maryland, at meeting held in Balti-
more last week, adopted construc-
ton program for the year, comprising
work to be done in Garrett, Allegany,
Washington, Calvert, Caroline Som

Activities of the Knights of
Pythias of Oakland.

We wish to report that such an in
itiation as was witnessed at Castle
Hall last Friday night is worthy of
much favorable comment. Owing to
weather conditions and some social
events, the attendance was not what
it should have been. All who were not
present missed a good chance of see
ing a candidate receive the rank of
Esquire. Knights, you owe it to your
self to take an active part in our de-
gree work. Resolve to help Garrett
Lodge carry on its work. 1t is wor-
thy organization, deserving of your
best efforts and consideration.
If you wish to see something worth
while, be on hand Friday night, Feb.
26th. The new degree team will be on
the job in full regalia, prepared to con-
fer the rank of Knight on a class of
would-be Knights. 1t will be the sec
ond appearance of this team which
performed in such creditable man
ner but recently. The membership of
the lodge should be proud of this
team, but you cannot fully appreciate
its worth unless you see how efficient
ly the work is conducted. Refresh
ments will be served.
Come. Get some idea of the inner
workings of your lodge. Do not de-
pend on the faithful few to do every
thing. True it is that you are but a
cog in the fraternal machine, but if
one cog does not function properly,
progress is very much impaired.
No date for the banquet has been
given yet. You will be fully informed
as to particulars concerning it and a
few sidelights on the same in poeti-
cal fashion will be published in the
near fture.

ANDERSON SENT TO THE
HOUSE OF CORRECTION
Garrett County Youth Convicted
of Aiding Negro In PostOffice
Robbery at SwantOn.

Ralph Anderson, found guilty in the
United States District Court at Bal
timore recently of attempting to rob
the postoffice at Swanton, this county,
two or three months ago, was sem
fenced to the Chicago House of Cor
rection, Federal institution, until he
becomes twenty-one years old by U. s.
Judge Soper in the Federal District
Court at Baltimore on last Thursday
afternoon. Anderson gave his age as
nineteen.
A similar charge against Henderson
Hall, the negro principal in the hold
up, was settled, District Attorney A.
W. w. Woodcock, announced at the
time Judge Soper passed sentence up
on Anderson. Shot in the head DUR
ing the attempted robbery, Hall has
become unbalanced and probably will
be placed in a State institution. Hall
is still held in the Cumberland Jail.
Anderson was arrested September
IS by Deputy Sheriff William D. Cas-
teel, charged with being the accom-
plice of Hall in the attempted robbery
of the postoffice at Swanton on the
night of September II. Anderson con-
tended that he took no active part in
the affair, but that he acted as look
out for Hall while the latter broke
into the building.
The negro, Hall, as The Republican
readers will remember, was surprised
by Postmaster Joseph F. Friend and
pistol battle followed during which
Hall was shot through the stomach
and in the face, the bullet fired into
his face penetrating his brain. Friend
was also struck by bullet, the mis-
sile lodging in his face and destroying
one eye. He also sustained number
of decorations about his head and face
when the negro used his revolver as a
mace.
Hall was brought to Oakland Ike
morning following the attempted rob-
berry, his arrest being made by Sheriff
Guy o. Yutzy and Deputy Casteel, the
prisoner being brought to the Oakland
Jail by the officers. His condition be-
ing of such nature on account of the
wounds he had received he was later
taken to the Western Maryland Hos
pital in Cumberland where he was
kept under guard for about a month,
recovering sufficiently by October %
to be taken to the Allegany County
Jail where he has remained since his
physical recovery. His mental condi.
ton, however, is such that he will
probably be sent to State institution
in short time.

KEEPING COWS MEANS
100000 EXTRA INCOME
For Farmers of Garrett County.
According to Report.

An added income of $107, 020 year
is enjoyed by Garrett county farmers
indirectly as result of keeping cows,
according to the Larrowe Institute of
Animal Economics. This income is in
the form of more fertile soil due to
the manure of the dairy cows of this
county. On the basis of practically
$4,000 fertilizer valuation per ami
NAL per year, this means total of
S107,0 20 added to the richness of the
soil in this county every twelvemonth.
Manure is source of the most val
liable plant food obtainable, says the
Institute, but to preserve it at its
highest value or efficiency, it should
either be put directly to the fields
each day or conserved until such
time as the opportunity offers itself
to spread it. Feeding trials have
proven that an ordinary COW, while
putting from Is to IS per cent of the
total energy of the feed she consumes
into milk, actually returns to the soil
80 per cent of the elements of soil fer
tility in her feed in the form of ma
nure, This had led many dairymen to
discover that the feeding of good con-
centrate feeds for their cows not only
more than pays for itself in increased
milk production, but that it also sup
plies necessary food to farm crops
that are expensive when bought in the
form of commercial fertilizer.

stated, following examination and
treatment, that his injuries were not
of a serious nature.

Don't Expose the Children to
Catching" Diseases.

If you want the kiddies in your
house to stay well, keep them away
from other children who have coughs,
colds, measles, mumps, whooping
cough, scarlet fever. diphtheria, or
any other catching" disease, is the
advice of DR.. ]. H. Mason Knox, Jr.,
Chief of Child Hygiene of the Mary
land State Department of Health.
eve hear great DEAL" he said,
"about the Importance of protecting
school children from communicable
diseases, and il IS important, but few
people realize that it is just as vital
to protect the babies and the other
children who are too young to go to
school,
"a great many people still have the
old notion that children are going to
have these diseases any way, so they
may as well get them and have it
over. The truth Of the matter is that
these diseases are much more danger
ous-as a rule-for the very young
child than for the older boys and girls,
and more apt to end fatally. Two out
of every three of the deaths from
measles, scarlet fever and diphtheria
occur among children under five. In
the case of whooping cough our rec
ord show that nine out of every ten
deaths from disease occurs among
children under five.
Measles, in particular, is apt to be
spoken of lightly, when it really is to
be regarded as a wolf in sleeps cloth
ing. 1t is especially dangerous for
babies and children under three, and
ordinarily it is least dangerous for
the children between five and fifteen
years old. 1t is twenty-five times as
fatal for babies under a year old as it
is for the four year-olds, and it is
nearly fifty times as fatal for the
babies under year old as it is for the
children between five and nine. Even
when it is not Immediately fatal, it is
likely to leave trail or bad after
effects. 1t frequently opens the way
for eye and ear troubles and often is
followed by pneumonia. Instead of
regarding the disease lightly, every
precaution should be taken, especially
when other children in the family or
in the neighborhood have the disease,
to safeguard the little ones and to
keep them from catching it.
Against one serious infectious dis
ease-diphtheria-we have a definite
means of rotection-toXin-a ntitoxin,
and physicians and health officers all
agree that all young children, begin
ming with the year-old babies, should
be given this protective treatment.
Another catching disease that is
particularly hard on the babies and
very little children and from which
they should be carefully safeguarded
is the so-called common cold. Like
the measles, this is much more dam
gerous for the little children than for
the older ones. The little children
cannot get rid of the infectious ma
terial in the throat and nose as the
older ones can, and very often these
persistent colds lead to broncho-pneu-
monia and to other diseases.
"There are two ways of protecting
the children from all of these catch
ing diseases. First, develop their re-
sistance to disease by intelligent care,
paying special attentionJto food, fresh
air and plenty of resti second, keep
them away from Aother people,
