TWILIGHT BASEBALL

The organization of a baseball club
in Oakland may be successful or not,
depending upon the cooperation
of its individual members and between
the members and the townspeople. 1t
is the belief of The Republican that
the townspeople will cooperate, if the
team first shows that it is willing to
practice hard and indulge in the game
for the good, clean and wholesome
sport that can be obtained from it.
In order to make the townspeople
interested, the members of the club
must themselves be very enthusiastic
about it. The second part will then
fall in naturally.
Everybody is interested in good,
clean craftsmanship, and if this is
the underlying idea of the organiza-
ton of the club it will prosper.
Twilight baseball will not inter-
fere with business, which is an asset
to begin with, and if the other towns
in the county will take the same posi-
ton a competitive inter-county league
may become reality.

APPEARANCES DECEIVE.

There is hardly a man Cor woman)
who has not at some time or other
passed judgment upon another man.
and is so firm in his conviction that
nothing will change him. All the pos
sible evidence that could be gathered
points to the correctness of the judg-
ment, and yet it is finally discovered
to be wrong. That only leads to the
old adage: appearances are deceiv-
ing"
Men have been convicted and SEN
fenced to Jail for crimes which they
never committed. Finding the real
culprits at some later date proved
beyond doubt that although the suf-
ferers seemed to have been guilty,
they were not. When men meet other
men, first appearances are said to
count lot, yet many times mistakes
are made in the character of the peo-
pie met.
Saturday morning quite acrowdwas
gathered about a man at the corner
of Second and Green streets in Oak
land. He was apparently 60 years of
age and was bent over in the middle
of the pavement cleaning his teeth
with water and a brush. 1t looked
rather amusing at the time, as the
man was entirely oblivious to the cur
ious gazes of the people near him and
seemingly never heard the giggles of
the children as they stared at the
scene.
Comments of people looking on
would lead one to Judge that the man
was even beyond the stage of eccen-
tricity. In other words, they figured
that he was about ready for Sykes
vile. They thought they had all the
facts of the case at hand and there
fore passed judgment. But they left
out the most important factor, which
proved that they were wrong in their
decision.
Upon investigation, it was discov-
cred that the man was totally blind.
He evidently had not been sightless
for many months, for he was unsteady
in his walk and did not seem to know
directions. What had at first seemed
a very amusing incident and had
branded man as patient for Sykes
vile, now took on different aspect.
He was given the credit of having at
least one good habit,-he kept his
teeth clean, which is more than can
be said of a lot of others.
Appearances count sometimes, but
not always.

misled by any future promises.
l cannot recall any promise made
while have been here that was not
fulfilled, but perhaps D. S. M. refers
to some time before 1 came to Gar
rett county, and have thought that my
associates and acquaintance consid-
cred me imam of my word"
1t is reported that officials of the B.
& 0. Railroad Company are interested
in having another creamery locate
here, as it would benefit the farmers
of this community. When has a rail-
road worked for the farmers along its
line that it did not expect much
greater benefit to itself?
The price of transportation remains
the same, even if the price of the
commodity goes below the cost of pro-
duction, so the railroad has nothing
to lose unless concern taking all its
product to one destination should de-
eide to use large motor trucks, which
coulu Hot ue DIS conveniently uoHe
where shipments are made in different
directions; but the farmers greatest
trial is the cost of transportation
caused by the demands of railroad
men which brought about the passage
of the Admonston law.
Respectfully yours,
GEO. D. SPRAGUE.

Mr.. Sprague, Manager of the Local
Creamery, In Replying to a Com
munication Which Appeared in the
Issue of The Republican of July Z,
Refers to Records In His Posses
sion Showing the Growth of the
Dairy Business in Garrett County
and Incidentally Takes Crack at
the Railroads.
To the Editor of The Republican.
l was interested in the letter signed
D. S. M. in your issue of July 7th, and
upon reading it carefully l conclude
that the writer refers to some time
before l came to Garrett county.
He writes: MANY statements were
quoted regarding dairying in Garrett
county, some of which were true,
others were misleading, if not entirely
untrue, in fact"
Would it not have been proper for
him to state which were untrue or
misleading?
Upon looking over our test sheets,
we find that the first sheet contains
33 tests, and the last 200, and we now
receive double the amount of milk and
six times the amount of cream that
we did four years ago. Is it probable
that the farmers are more interested
in supporting creamery than max
ing profit, as d. S. M. implies?
Some have said that their cows av-
erage over $40 per month and a num-
Der of checks given out at the last
pay day for Mays milk and cream
were over 500; some over 5000 and
at least one over $500.
D. S. M. also writes: eff the farm
ers will only recall the many promises
made to them in the past for better
conditions and prices, they will not be

Mrs. George H. Hooking, mother of
Mrs. w. A. Sturgiss, Oakland, died

IF YOU SPIT AT HOME.

Several years ago the writer saw a
sign sticking in the corridor of pub
lie building. 1t read, Gentlemen who
expect to rate high, must not expec-
torate on the floor" In other words,
if anybody expected to amount to
something he shouldn't spit on the
floor of public buildings. The mean
ing of that placard has stuck in his
memory ever since.
Saturday night at the Maryland
Theatre in Oakland two people were
forced to move their seats because
of the fact that someone who SEEM
ingly had never read sign like that,
or if he had done so, evidently didn't
believe in them, was emitting a gen.
erous amount of liquid every time the
film in the moving picture machine
moved a hundred feet. Outside Of the
fact that it may have been delight
full mouthwash for him, it was decid-
eddy unpleasant and not especially
sanitary for the other occupants of
the theatre.
Last month Oakland had a cleanup
of all the premises and the town this
month is much better off. But all the
precautions taken in civic clean-ups
can go for nsught when actions like
that recited above happen in public
buildings.

HONOLULU USED TO HAVE
BUT TWO MAILS A MONTH
Now Steamers with 1900 or More
Bags of Letters Dock Daily

when 1 first went to Honolulu"
said resident of that city who is
now in the States on a visit, there
were but two mails month, the lon
ger interval of waiting being three
weeks. All over town, upon the ap5|
proach of the steamer, one would hears
the horns calling the stevedores to
the dock. If on the street, friends
would greet you with Better be
getting home to write your letters"
or I suppose you are looking for let
tiers from home, and, by the way, in
those days postage to and from the
Islands was five cents.
"Now we have steamers coming to
port almost every day, and often two
or more times a day with their often
from twelve to fourteen or eighteen
hundred bags of mail. Eastern let
tiers are generally enroute about elev-
en- days, but with trains now crossing
the continent in four and half days
and what with our splendid new stem
er, the Malolo, which is to make the
trip from San Francisco to Honolulu
in four days, we hope to get Atlantic
Coast mail within nine days. And now
Lieutenants Maitland and Hegenber-
ger have flown this same distance in
one day, therefore in the near future
we have every reason to expect trans
continental and Pacific airplane male
to cover the distance from the Allan
tic Coast to the Hawaiian Islands
within three days.
"But as for daily news, we get that
as soon as you do. All that is hap
pening or has happened in the great
cities of the East or in European
countries, say on any one date and
that you find in your morning paper
and read as you sip your coffee at
your breakfast table because of our
time being six hours later we find in
our morning paper delivered before
our breakfast hour. In fact, if l am
not mistaken, we get Oriental happen
ings sooner than you do.
Moreover, we listen in on the radio
to concerts, church services and nota-
BILE addresses in the Coast and East
ern cities and elsewhere, and although
not there just now, yet feel sure that
at the great reception given Lind
bergh in Washington and elsewhere,
every woir e uttered was heard at
Hawaii's powerful radio stations and
broadcasted to all the Islands"

Eight thousand pounds of wool,
pooled by some of the farmers of Gar
rett county, was sold yesterday to w.
H. Smouse, of Oakland, for Al cents
per pound, according to County Agent
J. l.. McGlone. Sealed bids for the
purchase of the wool were received
at the County Agents Office and they
were opened and read at ten o'clock,
the name of the purchaser being an
nounced shortly afterward.
Other bids and bidders were: ]. D.
Harvey, Al cents; Abel Dewitt, 40A
cents. There being tie for the high
est bid, the name of the successful one
was determined by lot.
Farmers from Grantsville and the
vicinity of Friendsville, who were also
expected to bring in their wool to be
pooled, will bring the total well over
ten thousand pounds, Mr.. McGlone
thinks. Those who pooled their clip
were from Ryan's Glade, Pleasant
Valley, Shadydell, Sunnyside and Red
House districts.
J. D. Harvey, Of Ryan's Glade, was
the father of the idea of pooling the
wool, according to records in the Of
flee of the County Agent, and he start
ed the cooperative work in 1923.
During the first year an increase of
seven cents per pound was realized
over previous years, with an increase
of one cent per pound for lambs. Land
values were increased Is cents per
acre.
The amount of wool pooled this
season is much greater than in any
former year.

LIES WORTH LIVING.

Chauncey M. Depew, ex-senator,
railroad president, and lawyer, and
called the "incurable optimist", on his
ninety-third birthday, said "Life is
worth living because l decided long
ago to think that way"
In that one little speech, is lesson
that might we'll be emulated by other
people, not only in Garrett county but
all over the world. Life for him is
what he makes it, and he decided
long ago to make it worth while.
1t is all in the attitude of mind that
one takes. 1t may not be human
nature to be contented, but one may
as we'll try to be satisfied with job
that he knows is going to be his life's
work, as to go around with a discour-
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1927-07-14

aged look on his face, wishing and
dreaming for things which will only
make him disconnected.
All the pessimists in the world to-
day have decided to be that way, and
it is nothing but their own fault, they
just can't help it now--but they could
have done so at one time. If one
makes up his mind that Garrett Co.
unity is just as good if not a little bet
ter than other counties, it is going to
be that way. 1t is all in the point of
view.

MILK AND CREAM PLANT

\COIIlHueu from rage ONe.D
had been working on the project for
more than year, and in that time
had visited almost every district of
the county and upon one occasion had
had a survey made of the dairying
possibilities. He further stated that
the survey as made proved to him
and the interested dairy company that
$500 gallons of milk could be procured
Immediately.
Upon being questioned as to re-
quirements, which his interested COM
pany would make he stated that most
of the barns would have to undergo
slight changes in arrangement, indi-
eating that concrete floors would be
required as would also sealed ceilings
and more light and ventilation. He
also said that the price of the product
would be set by the Dealers and Pro-
ducers' Association, and in most cases
is set two or three months in advance
County Agent J. L. McGlone, who is
the sponsor of the movement to pro-
cure the milk-cream station, addressed
the assembled guests and was given
the unanimous support of those pres
ent to further his activities.
Another dinner will be given at the
Deer Park Hotel on Wednesday, Au-
gust 18th, at which time the ladies
will accompany their husbands and
also representatives of the interested
dairy company will be present to
either locate here or make other ar
rangements.

ner on August 18th and to attend to
