TO GIVE BENEFIT MOVIE
FOR CRIPPLED CHILDREN
Picture Under Auspices of Oak
land Civic Club

The people of Oakland and vicinity
will be given an opportunity Monday
and Tuesday, August Is and 16, to
spend what is predicted as very
pleasant evening at the movies, and
at the same time to help in the work
of assisting the crippled children of
this community. The Oakland Civic
Club is promoting this picture and
everybody is working to make it a
success.
In May, an Orothopedic Clinic was
held and during the month of July
seven of the children were sent for
by those in charge of. the "Children's
Hospital School" and other cases will
be sent for as soon as there is room
for them, also cases of older persons.
Many of the people have been able
to meet the expense for their children,
according to Miss Thekla Fundenberg,
president of the Civic Club, but others
have not, and the club now wants a
fund for that purpose. The members
are hoping for a crowded house both
Monday and Tuesday nights. The
picture has been specially recon-
mended, some of the scenes being
taken in the Carnegie Steel mill, near
Pittsburgh, Pa. 1t is called "Men OF
Steel" Special music will be provided.

MORE INVITATIONS ISSUED
IN DEER PARK TOURNEY
List Has Been Raised From
Hundred to Hundred Fifty

Owing to the surprising interest in
the Deer Park Hotel Tennis Tourna-
ment schedule for August IS, 10, and
20, the committee in charge has de-
cided to raise the limit first decided
on Of one hundred invitations to fifty
more, according to the secretary of
the association.
The Tennis committee has not fully
decided whether to limit the entry to
those players who have been inalists
in the Allegheny Mountain and West
ern Maryland Championships, or to
confne the invitation tournament to
the so-called second string players.
At the above two tournaments it
has been customary to invite crack
players from the East whose expenses
were paid by interested fans. The
proposition was made to invite only
second string players because they al
ways were the main support of any
tournament, and seldom got chance
to work up to the late rounds in the
other meets of this section.

CLYDE Balm LOSES HIS LIFE
WHEN AUTO OVERTURNS
Young Man Was Returning to
Piedmont When His Car Ran
Over Mountain Side at Wilson

H. Clyde Balm, 20 years old, who
was recently engaged here in manag-
ing newspaper circulation with his
brother, Leo Balm, was found dead
beneath his overturned Chevrolet car
Monday morning by William Burk, a
travelling salesman on his way to Kitz-
miller from Kingwood, West Va.
The accident happened near Wilson
Store, a small settlement along the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad ten miles
east of Oakland and where the Kitz-
miller road crosses the tracks of the
railway company. The exact time of
the occurrence of the accident is not
known, reports varying from 1900
o'clock midnight until 500 o'clock on
Monday morning. Balm came to Oak
land in his car late Sunday afternoon
and went to the William-James Hotel
where he had dinner. He was unable
to secure accommodations at the hotel
for the night and left, but whether or
not he remained in Oakland during
the night cannot be learned.
Telephone men reported seeing him
about midnight Sunday on his way to
Piedmont and it is presumed that the
accident occurred shortly afterward.
Other reports are to the effect that he
left Oakland early Monday morning
in order to be in Piedmont in time to
look after his business interests with
the Piedmont Herald, where he was
engaged at the time in managing a
circulation campaign.
Struggled HOpelessIy.
The chest of the unfortunate young
man was crushed and several bruises
were upon his face. Marks where he
had bitten his lips, showed that he had
struggled hopelessly to free himself
from the weight of the car bearing
down upon him.
His remains were taken to Kitz-
miller, from which place Emroy Boil
den, local undertaken, removed the
body to Oakland where it was pre-
pared for shipment to Whitehill, N. c.
Buried Today at Whitehill, N. c.
The remains were shipped from
Oakland on Tuesday afternoon. Fun
eral services are being held today at
Whitehill. Interment will be made
there in the family burying ground.
The deceased was one of the Balm
Brothers Company, newspaper circu-
lation builders of Rocky Mount, N.
C. He is survived by his mother, Mrs.
D. M. Balm, of Rocky Mount; four
brothers, D. M. Balm, Jr., of Whining
ton, N. CD. T. Balm, A. D. Balm and
V. L. Balm, all of Rocky Mount; two
sisters, Mrs. A. A. Stevens, of Rocky
Mount, and Mrs. B. H. Bester, Of

OPERATIONS AT CANNING
FACTORY END YESTERDAY
About $4,000 Cases Canned
During Months Work

The Mount Airy Canning company
plant, located at Loeb Lynn, which
began operations on Monday, July II,
canned approximately 10000 cases of
peas, according to ]. Howard Rein
hardt, manager.
Although several large orders have
been filled, the majority of the cases
will be stored until the winter months,
when a ready market is found for
them, Mr.. Reinhardt said.
The 10000 cases of peas were
harvested from approximately $50
acres of land in Garrett county. One
hundred twenty-five persons have
been constantly employed during the
past month, the monthly payroll
including cost of peas, amounting to
about 100000.
Later in the season, about Septem-
Der 10 or Is, large quantity of corn
will be harvested and canned for the
market. eve don't expect to be open
very long at that time" Mr.. Rein
hardt concluded, Gas there is little
likelihood of there being a bumper
crop. The pea crop was about as
usual"

BUSINESS MEMS DAY" AT
THE COUNTY FAIR ASSURED
Those interviewed Are Enthusi-
astic Concerning Parade-All
Promise to Participate

That the business men would have
charge of one day of the Garrett
County Fair was assured by Henry
Lauer, one of the members of the
committee who interviewed the ma
jority of business houses yesterday
afternoon. Everyone who was seen
assured the committee that they
would gladly decorate their windows,
and not one refused to put something
in the parade. Those thinking it would
be impossible to get car, assured
them that they would have something
in the parade.
At a meeting held Monday night,
called by the directors of the Oakland
Commercial Club, and which was at
tended by a large percentage of the
business men of Oakland, it was de-
cided to take charge of one day of the
Fair, and a committee of three, con-
sisting of Henry Lauer, Alva Gort-
ner and W. R. Browning, was ap-
pointed to see all the business men of
town. Mr.. Lauer last night extended
an invitation to any business concern
in the county to place representative
float in the parade.
"a number of men have not been
seen," Mr.. Lauer said, "but if the
committee meets with as much Coop
GRAFTON from them as it has from
those already interviewed, there will
not be one refusal.
The first day of the Fair, September
20, will be set aside as the day for the
local business men, and the parade
will take place at 1870 o'clock in the
afternoon of that day.
It was limited by members of the
committee that there would be quite a
few prizes given away on that day
Immediately after the parade at the
fair grounds. The prizes and those
awarding them will be announced in
a later issue of The Republican.
\ With a promise already of more
chan thirty-ive floats, the indications
are that the parade will be one of the
biggest ever held on the streets of
Oakland.
In order to maintain the co-opera-
tion already shown, there will be an
other meeting in the near future of all
business men of the community, when
details of the proposed parade will be
gone into. The committee will send
written notices of this meeting to
each business man of the vicinity.

Mrs. w. w. Grant Gives Force
full Address in Evening

The Lords Day Alliance observed
it's annual day in behalf of better
Sabbath observance at Mt. Lake Park
last Sunday, with DR.. w. W. Davis,
general secretary of the Alliance for
Maryland having charge of the pro-
gram.
The morning session was addressed
by DR.. Davis in his characteristic
way. Prof. David Roberts, of Wash
ington, Welsh soloist and composer,
directed the singing.
The afternoon services were opened
with a band concert given by the
Crellin Boys Band. Professor Rob-
erts again directed the singing and he
was assisted by chorus of children
from Oakland. The address was made
by Mr.. Dulaney, of Baltimore, on the
subject of tithing. The speaker is
offering a cash prize for the best re-
sumo of his address to any person of
high school age and a member of a

Moore, spoke on "The Pulpit and the
Lords Day." Mrs. w. w. Grant, of
Oakland, spoke on "The Home and the
Lords Day." The address of Mrs.
Grant was said to have been so force
full that a resolution was offered ask

lating experiences in the recent Mary
land Legislature.

DINNER ON SEPTEMBER
DECIDES DAIRY PROJECT
Officials Will Determine Then
Whether Shipping Station Is
To Be Located Here

Wednesday, September z, when a
dinner will be held at Deer Park
Hotel, in the interest of having an
other milk shipping station locate
here, will be the date they will settle
whether Garrett county will start on
a new era as dairying county, or
whether it will remain as formerly,
said J. L. McGlone, county agent,
yesterday.
A committee to arrange for the dim
ner on August II was appointed, but
the date set was found to be unsatis-
factory. Wednesday, September Z,
seems to have been convenient for the
business men, farmers of the COM
munity, and representatives of the
milk concern, and so definite plans
are now being made by Mr.. McGlone,
who is chairman of the committee on
arrangements. Other members of the
committee are H. V. Leighton, Harry
Porter, J. A. Dewitt, S. ]. Lichty,
Benz. Knepp, Paul Friend, c. A. Ash
by, Raymond Houck, w. w. Dawson
and D. R. Sincell.
The dinner will mark the second
meeting of the business men and
farmers with the officials of the milk
shipping station project, and John P.
Dugan, general baggage agent of the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad, who is
interested in the matter, the first one
having been held at Deer Park Hotel
on July 10.
At this meeting and banquet, the
people interested in the project were
very favorably impressed with the
natural dairying conditions existing
in Garrett county, and Mr.. Dugan
said that in his twenty years of ex-
perience with the railroad company
in promoting dairy interests he had
never been so favorably impressed
with locality as he is with this sec
ton.
The project has been worked on for
more than year, and in that time
practically every district in the county
has been visited, and upon one occas-
ion a survey of dairying possibilities
was made.
1t is optional with those who at
tend the banquet whether or not they
will bring their wives, Mr.. McGlone
said. "The officials in the project ex-
pect to do so, and it would be very
fitting for all of the business men and
farmers to do the same. However,
this is not at all necessary" he con-
cluded.

N. u. BOND RENOMINATED

former Garrett countian, won the Re-
publican nomination for the State
Senate in the goth Senatorial District
by about 5000 majority. He carried
four of the five counties by substan-
tial majorities and seemed to have a
Sigh lead in Rockcastle, home county
of his opponent.
Mr.. Bond served in the last General
Assembly of Kentucky, having been
elected to fill out the unexpired term
of w. C. Mays, who resigned. Mr..
Bond operates one of the largest lum-

Plays Are Being Made-Will End Saturday
/. Graham-Porter. 81: 6-3.

S. Graham-Porter, 81; 6-3.
The third round in the afternoon
weeded out few more players who
gave hard fight in every instance,
the most interesting probably being
those between Jarvis Adams, of Pitts
burgh, twice winner of the matches in
other years, and Bill Ramsey, cham
pion of Uniontown. Although Adams
took both matches, Ramsey deserves
a lot of credit. Only Is years of age,
he made one of the oldest seeded play
ers work to win and in future tourna-
ments will be a worthy opponent to
anyone. This applies as well to Bill
Reed, of Oakland, who, altho elimin-
ated in the second round, showed his
ability in faultless service as we'll as
well-placed returns.
The next match of interest was that
between Col. Miller and John Brown,
Champion of 1920. Brown won after
hard fought match, 60 and 81.
Results of third round follows:

The entire morning was certainly a
treat to those in the stands as should
be the afternoon matches, for rare
tennis was displayed by the contes-
tants.
This afternoon sees King, 1926
champion, defending his title against
Friedricks. This will be a struggle
for last year Friedricks made King
work to win, both sets going above
deuce. King, however, should win, is
the opinion of the many.

and like his brother, will have fight
