All Girls to Camp

The All Club girls of Garrett county
will camp with the girls of Ale
gany county at the Girls Friendly
cottage near Grantsville from July
II to 16. Miss Maude Bean, home
demonstration agent from Allegany
county, Miss Dorothy Emerson, State
Girls Club leader, and Miss Kathrine
Brown, acting home demonstration
agent for Garrett county, will be in
charge. This is the second year of
the joint county camp and it is hoped
that Camp Algajoy (named from the
two counties) will become a permin
ent annual event for All Club girls.
More play and less work is the pro-
gram for this year. Mornings will
be given over to classes in basketry,
instruction in the art of lamp and
candle shades, and felt flowers. Then
too there will be Camp Cookery and
nature study.
Recreation will be the program ev-
cry afternoon. Pageants, games,
hikes and swimming under the in
struction of Miss Katherine Brown,
acting home demonstration agent.
Then in the evening Vespers and
the Camp Fire Tribe meeting. The
girls are divided into four groups
called Indian tribes. 1t is an honor
for a girl to be selected for tribal
leader, an honor given as an award
for splendid work as an all-round
club girl and one who has attended
College Park. This year Frances
Thrasher of Deer Park and Mary Mil
Ter of Grantsville, will be the tribe
leaders from Garrett county. Mar
garet Ringler and Dorothy Hutson
are to be tribe leaders from Allegany
county.
The best all round camper from
Garrett county this year will have
part of her expenses paid to the Jun
Tor Short Course at College Park in
August Friday, July Is, will be Wis
itor's day. Parents and friends are
invited to bring their picnic lunch
and spend the day at Camp Algajoy.
All Club Girls should watch next
weeks paper for further news.

THREE DAYS TO DO WHAT?

Governor Albert C. Richie has is
sued proclamation declaring that
the Saturday before the Fourth of
July will be legal holiday in Mary
land. In doing this he says his mo-
tive was to give the workingmen a
three-day holiday and rest. The idea
is good one, for there is no doubt in
anybody's mind that-the workingmen
need rest, but will they take it when
they get it?
Take the farmer, for instance. He
has cows to feed on Saturday and on
Sunday just as we'll as on any other
day of the week, and there is never
any complete let-up for him. What
will proclamation like that mean to
him more than the fact that he must
purchase three-days' supply at the
store in one day should the store
keeper observe the proclamation of
the Chief Executive. Perhaps he will
have cause to worry because the holi-
day will let his son go gadding about
in his (dad's) car and the Ruler of
the heavens only, knowing where this
may be.
|, Take the tired workingmen, whose
factory, or store, or office has closed
Does anyone think for moment that
they will rest? Notg on your life!
They will pack up and go somewhere
on. trip; they will plan where to
spend those three days with the most
pleasure for themselves; they will
run around anywhere, just so they get
going and on the move. Then when
Tuesday comes around and it is time
for work to commence, all the work
ingmen will be more completely "laid
out" than if they had worked at their
job the entire time, Sunday included.
The idea of proclaiming legal hol-
iday is all right in way. The wage
earners' pay goes on just the same.
But if anyone thinks that the work
ingmen will do nothing on those days
but rest he is mistaken.
When students in school get out for
a day and are told to be rested up and
ready to do twice az much work the
next, what do they do? They are not

A DOUBLE CLEANUP

The citizens of Oakland made a
cleanup in more ways than one last
week, but there were not many who
realized that they had done so. The
first cleanup was easy to see because
there was the absence of material
from the back lots and rubbish piles.
On June 20 and 81, the city sent a
team and workmen around and they
cleared up all the dirty spots" of the
town.
A certain man had so many ashes
and rubbish in his back lot that he
never even expected the workmen to
stop, but he went out to look one day,
and was agreeably surprised. Every
thing had been cleaned up. That is
what happened at every home, and as
a result the whole town looks better,
and according to Mayor Lawrence
Fraley, may help in lowering the in
surance rate of the town. That was
one cleanup.
The two days of hauling and the
hiring of workmen cost the Mayor
and Town Council just $3.50. There
are 434 taxpayers in the town of Oak
land, making the cost of cleaning up
to each taxpayer just eight and three
ffths cents. On the other hand, if
the city had not volunteered to pay
for the two-day cleanup, the cost of
hauling would have amounted to ap-
proximately so cents for each tax
payer or S217 for the entire cleanup.
Each taxpayer then was saved
forty-one and two fifths cents by CO.
operating. That was the other clean
up and although many may scott at
Al cents, it shows just what saving
can be done by community effort.
Other towns in the county, if they
have not already done so, could we'll
emulate Oakland in its cleanup cam
paign.

A NATURAL RESOURCE

II have never seen another county
or region that is more sadaptedSto the
raising of CATTLE" said George D.
Sprague, manager of the Oakland
Creamery today. at is not as cold as
the grazing land of New York state,
it is dry like the western lands, and
it has plenty of cold watenssgaasThe
county is ideal for it, and I believe
that dairying could be called Garrett
county's natural resource" s:.5.,fFs.
Coming from man that has been
in the business of buying milk from
producers throughout the county, this
comes as pretty strong evidence that
Garrett county could be made even
much more of dairying county than
it has been heretofore.
Several years ago, the Oakland
creamery was only small plant, and
the manager had difficulty in finding
enough farmers who would bring in
their milk to be made into butter or
other products. Since that time the
plant has been enlarged three times,
and according to Mr.. Sprague he ex-
poets to make another addition this
winter This fact alone chould con-
vince one that the county is realizing
more and more the advantage of the
dairy business.
Thousands of dollars are paid each
year to the farmers who bring in their
milk. This sum could be more than
doubled in a very few years by slowly
building up the number of dairy herds
on the Garrett county farms.
The number of registered cattle al
ready in the county is steadily in
creasing, according to Mr.. J. L. Nc
Clone, county agent for Garrett coun
ty, and if this increases in the future
as steadily as it has in the past, there
will soon be herds in Garrett county
that will rival those of New York
state or the western grazing lands.
After this coming winter there will
be a market for all the milk that the
farmers wish to sell, Mr.. Sprague
says. 1t is great and profitable in
dustry and it might be we'll for them
to look into. :

D. Newton Brown, City Water Su-
perintendent, Cumberland, accompan-
led by City Commissioners Charles j.
Cumiskey and Joseph 7. Griffin and
Perry A. Nicklin, former City Com
missioner, visited Oakland yesterday
on business. Mr.. Browns last visit to
Oakland was in 1909. At one time,
in the late eighties, he was employed
by the late Daniel Chisholm as a drug
clerk when the latter operated drug
store on the same site now occupied
by Gonder's Pharmacy. Mr.. Brown
is son of the late Jacob Brown, in
his day lawyer of ability practicing
at the Cumberland bar, and a prolific
writer on local subjects, especially the
history of the old National Highway
and men and things in the Grantsville
community where he was born and
reared.
Mr.. and Mrs. John M. Crane ar
rived in Oakland last night from Long
Beach, California to remain some
days with relatives and friends before
going to Kingwood to open their
home. Mr.. and Mrs. Crane were mar
ried at Los Angeles on May End, the
announcement of the event being a
great surprise to their friends both in
the west and in this community.

GIVE THE COW A CHANCE.

In recent days man was arrested
and held for the action of the grand
jury on a warrant issued by Justice
E. l. West for cutting off a cows tail
and running a pitchfork through her
udder.
Although it is not certain what the
motive was it could not have been
anything else but the spirit of re-
venge-a something that is not very
tangible yet is the basis of most of
the crimes in the country today.
There should be no one in this day
and age, at least in America, where
anybody would deliberately walk up
to a COW and cut off her tail just for
the pleasure he would derive from it.
The editor of The Republican does
not condone revenge or anything like
that, but if it must be taken, leave the
cows, the horses, even the pigs out of
it. They are only dumb animals, but
probably feel pain as much as human
beings, and if the COW could have
given expression to her feelings she
would have probably said enough to
cause her arrest and her being held
for the grand jury, yet she would have
been perfectly in the right.
Perhaps the man charged with hav-
ing committed the deed has just suf-
ficient sense of humor to want to cut
off the cows tail in order to show it to
her for spite. But in this case he was
only spiting himself.

Paul Walker of the University of
Maryland was in the county three
days last week making a survey of
the pea industry in the county. He
is making similar survey in other
sections Of the state to compare tla
possibilities Of the industry in
future. With favorable climatic con-
ditions it would seem possible that
growing peas could be as profitable
to the grower and Gamer in Garrett
County as any other county. Wonder
full results however cannot be OBJ
tanned in few years because the con-
ditions which make for the best yields
have to be determined by experience
and experiments. 1t is to be hoped
that conditions will prove favorable
to the production of the crop which
will be valuable asset as cash crop
to the farmers of Garrett County.

news published.

A newspaper is just what its name
implies. 1t tries to get all the news
while it is news and give it to the
people, because it is an organ of the
people when it comes to the publica-
tien of anything. A definition Of
news has been made by many editors
and writers of journalistic textbooks
which is: news is anything that in
terests people, and the more people
it interests, the greater the news val
ue."
As one man has stated, an accident
is an accident, no matter who has it,
and all have a right to have mishaps.
He should have added, "all have
right to hear about them too"
Mr. Finan expressed himself as be-
ing ,""sold" on the idea that adverti-
sing paved. "If a man in business
advertises in the proper medium and
according to the size of his business"
7he said, there is no reason in the
world why it would not be profitable.
II the people know what is being sold
and, what the price is, there is more
likelihood of their buying" He was
of the opinion that the newspaper
was the best medium of advertising
because itgeached SO many people.
He stressed the fact that the local
business men should advertise in the
local newspapers because the tmajor-
ity of papers printed, circulated in
their vicinity and because an adver-
tisement in a larger paper outside the
community would not be justified.
AN this only serves to bring more
forcibly to ones mind the great
strength of advertising and the rea-
son for doing it in the proper medium.
In the publication of both news and
advertising, the newspaper has a res
possibility, and that is to print the
facts and the truth. That is what
The Republican endeavors to do, and
what is fact and true can always
be told to the people in the right way.
That is what newspaper is for.
