ROOM FOR TWO.

There is story OF a man IN a
certain kind of business coming into
a town where another man in the
same business was making profta-
BILE living. The result in few years
was that neither was making enough
to live on. Where there was room
for one, there wasn't room for two.
But there is one thing that wasn't
taken into considerations: The size of
the town did not warrant the support
of two.
There is a somewhat similar case in
the town of Oakland today.
There is one milk shipping station
doing profitable business, and there
are prospects of there being another
one. If it can be proved that there is
room for two, then let the other one
come in. Yes, it really has been
proved, and figures and facts show
that Garrett county can support two
milk shipping stations.
Therein lies the difference between
this case and the one first enumerat-
ed. Where the field was not big
enough, the two merchants failed;
where the field is so extensive that
two milk shipping stations can be
supported, both will have profta-
BILE business.
Take for instance this one fact, that
in order to produce the extra $500
gallons per day that the new station
can handle, there need only be one
gallon of milk from each 80 acres of
land within radius of ten miles of
Oakland. Just this area alone within
this radius will produce the necessary
quantity of milk. That looks anything
but impossible.
The other milk station, should it be
located here, will be exactly similar to
the one already here, that is, there
will be milk gathered within the coun-
ty and shipped to another town where
it will be used for milk products, the
same as is now being done. Cheese,
butter, ice cream and other products
will be made from it. This will not
necessitate any immediate improve
ment of barns on the part of farm
ers, because if one company can ac-
cept milk from barns already housing
the cattle, the other company can and
will do the same.
The Republican does not desire to
detract from the established creamery
or it's manager, George D. Sprague,
He knows the dairying business from
A to z, and is the first man to ever
make a milk shipping station sue
cess here. He has worked hard for
the interest of Garrett county, but
that is beside the point. The fact is
that the present shipping station will
continue to ship as it has done in the
past. The new station would not en-
croach upon it in the least, as the
county could easily produce the extra
$500 gallons required. There is suf-
ficient milk being shipped to points
each day than is needed to supply the
other station.
A survey of Garrett county showed
that it is an ideal spot for dairying,
and The Republican feels that if this
is the case, then it ought to be made
county with .dairying as its chief
industry. 1t is only by finding the
ideal that the farmers will prosper,
and if milk shipping stations are go
ing to do that, then let them come.

THAT OLD SWEETHEART OF MINE

Personally, | believe the danger of
such mishap is slight. l think you
are suffering from a youthful, roman
tic hangover, and in your compari-
son you are picturing your former
sweetheart as perfect being with
none of the faults possessed by the
man you married, and naturally you
imagine yourself perfectly happy had
you married your first love.
Part of the trouble is that while
you are we'll aware of the short-com-
ings of the man you did marry, you
aren't aware of those of the man you
didn't marry. Fifteen years cast a
glow of illusion over your early ro-
nance.
Cheer up, Mary Louise. You aren't
suffering from broken heart; you
are suffering from romantic imagina-
ton. There isn't any man without
nerves and temper and irritating
ways, nor who is always thoughtful
and unselfish and considerate.
The best cure possible, in my opin-
ion, would be for you to see the once
beloved one. No cure could be so eff
fectual, or so disillusioning, as to see
the Prince Charming of your dreams
the man for whom you have been
pining.

new STORM BREWING
in ROAD DEPARTMENT

Atlanta, April 14.-There is brew
ing a wide difference of opinion on
the subject of revision of the State
Highway Department when the Cen
eral Assembly meets in June.
Information received yesterday is
that a plan is on foot for the intro
duction of a bill which will seek, as
reorganization movement, to name
the members of the Highway Board in
the legislation, so that the appointive
power would be taken away from the
governor. A further provision of the
contemplated bill will be that the
chairman of the board shall not be
one of the members thus named, but
to be selected by them from outside
the designated membership.
This reported proposal differs from
the one talked of some time ago, in
that the original or first suggestion
was that the state be re-divided as to
road districts, and where there are
now three, with one member from
each district, there be made six dis
tricts with a member from each; that
the governor send to the senate his
nominations for these memberships,
as is done now, and they be qualified
by confirmation by the senate. These
six then to select chairman, who
would be the absolute executive Off
Ger, from outside their membership.
Bill Would Be Vetoed
Comment has it that it is practical
ly taken for granted in advance that
DR.. Hardman would veto any meas
ure naming the members of the High
way board, should the legislature pass
one, thereby a deadlock would be
created which would tie up highway
until the regular ses-
sion of 1929, unless an extra session
should be called by the governor in
1928.
SO far as is known DR.. Hardman
has not made known any of the plans
or recommendation he will propose
to the General Assembly, even to>I
those who are closely associated with
him, but following his visit to Ten
nessee, which ended today, he will
have completed his trips to the several
southern states to study government
tai systems, and will begin at once to
formulate his plans and recommended
lions.
The present highway department
points with pride to the fact that
much more in the way of road con-
struction has been accomplished in
,he past period Of II months than in
any years since the board was crea-
ed, and that this includes payment
since Dec. 1, last, of $3,000,000 in
,ash for road work, and the ability
IN or after April 81 to pay cash for |
Every contract which it recently has

How would you like your husband
to open up friendship with one of
his old sweethearts--one to whom in
his mind you suffered by comparison?
Perhaps he feels intuitively that
you haven't been able to entirely for
get your first love affair, and that it
might result disastrously and might
break up his home. Prospects of that
sort would rather upset him-especi-
ally if he happens to love you.
