Friendsville X. of P's. Hold
Interesting Meeting.

Youghiogheny Lodge, No. 1874
Knights of Pythias, held its regular
meeting Friday night, November 49,
with four candidates waiting for the
third degree. Quite a few members
from Confluence and Addison Lodges,
as we'll as one member of the Oakland
Lodge, were present.
The four candidates were given the
rank of knight and all We're served
refreshments, following the business
session.
Those who were absent certainly
missed a treat. To make our order
a success, every member should be
present. Come to meetings and see
what you are missing, for one never
knows what is coming. To make our
order successful, there must be CO.
operative work with every one of the
members.
In the near future the lodge is plan
ming for another class.-C. w. W.

Mr.: Nicolo, since establishing him
self in Garrett county, has done much
toward the development of that Sec

estry matters. Several years ago he
planted thousands Of pine trees, on
land which he owns, as an object les
son as to what good could be done in
the matter Of retimbering the country.
Mr.. Nicolo achieved a notable sue
cess in Pittsburgh with the develop
ment of the Schenley Farms district,
the growth of which into the Pitts
burgh million dollar civic center,
stands out as one of the achieve

SAWMILL FOUND IN ASHES
WHEN MEN START TOWORK
Plant of Friendsville Company
Entirely Destroyed.

Going to work in the morning and
having no place to work, was the
predicament confronting the en-
ployes of a saw mill owned and OPP
Grated by Messrs. F. G. Fox & Son, of
Friendsville, early on Tuesday morn
ing, for upon arriving at the scene of
their daily labors the mill was in
ashes, fire having Destroyed the mill
sometime during the preceding night
and between 10000 and 10000 feet of
manufactured lumber stacked near the
burned mill was in flames.
Aid was summoned from Friends
vile and a call was sent in to the Oak
land Fire Department for help. The
local company responded with one of
the trucks and four fremen, Law
renee Fraley, George Kerins, Emroy
Bolden and Percy Frantz, but nothing
more could be done than to check the
flames which were eating their way
rapidly into the piled lumber. This
was accomplished IN very lew MIN
utes as water was handy and with
the pumping arrangement of the fire
truck a stream was soon playing on
the flames.
The mill, which was located on the
Bear Greek road between Friendsville
and the State road leading to the Ma
tional Highway six miles from the
town of Friendsville, was total loss,
the owners having carried no insur-
ance on the property.
The lumber was said to have been
owned by former State Senator J.
w. Mccullough. The origin of the
fire is unknown.

RED CROSS DRIVE HERE IS
TERMED MISERABLE FLOP
Less than One-Seventh of Entire
Quota Is Subscribed-Thirty-
five Dollars Donated.

With one day. left in the drive for
members of the Red Cross in Garrett
county, the amount turned in is not
expected to be more than one-seventh
of the quota desired. At noon We'd
nesday there had been $35 turned in
at Hamill's Book store, headquarters
for Garrett county, and a member
ship of $50 was desired.
Forgetfulness is given as the main
cause of the drives dismal failure
here. There was but one station in
the entire county and no personal So
licitation, and it is assumed that peo-
pie Were busy with other things.
One dollar, sent to headquarters,
either by mail, carrier, or taken in
person, would have enrolled one in
the annual membership drive, but &C
cording to Miss Frances Hamill,
there were no applications received by
mail.
This is the first year that Garrett
county has not subscribed her entire
quota, according to Mrs. E. z. Tower,
chairman for the county. During the
war Garrett county subscribed over
$500 in one drive, but the present fig
ures for the past two weeks show less
than $40.
"With the tremendous amount of
good work accomplished by the Red
Cross" Mrs. Tower said, cit seems
strange indeed that more have not
come forward voluntarily and paid
their dollar"

been managing the sales in the past.
The fowls will be loosed from the

ing about three O'Clock, according to
those having charge of the sales and
publicity of the Club.
The community sale will begin

out the day and evening. A page ad-
vertisement announcing the sale will
appear in The Republican in it's issue
of December /. Col. William Gibson,

more than one page of the paper, ac-
cording to the solicitor when he was
seen yesterday.
Each merchant, according to the
rules governing this sale, is given the
privilege of advertising one or two
articles at special prices for the sales

CHRISTMAS CLUB SAVINGS
CHECKS TO TOTAL Sl5,5OO
Distribution to be Made by Local
Banks on December MANY
to Receive Benefit

Approximately S15,50O will be dis
tributed on December first from the
Christmas Savings Clabs of the Gar
rett National and First National
Banks of Oakland, it was announced
today. The total will be given out to
about 250 depositors, it is said.
The Christmas Savings feature was
established in Garrett county about
two years ago by the First National
Bank and last year this policy was
introduced by the Garrett National
Bank of Oakland, and the First State
Bank at Grantsville.
While many of these checks will
find their way into the stockings of
many Oakland residents, a goodly
number will be cashed and immedi-
ately used for Christmas shopping.
By depositing small amounts each
week those who have taken advan-
tage of the Savings Club now have
at their command just at this time,
when demands are made for funds
with which to buy Christmas remem-
ORANGES, money sufficient in many
cases to meet these demands without
having to wait for tn enext pay day.
Both the First National and the
Garrett National Banks will begin
next years Christmas Savings &C
counts on Monday, December IL, and
they will take care of as many as
may choose to take advantage of the
opportunity of creating a fund for
the Christmas shopping of 1928.

Garrett COuntian Wants Warden
To Wake Up Along Border.

To the Editor of The Republican,:
Dear Sir:
The Game Law seems to be very
much one-sided along the border OF
Pennsylvania and Maryland. The
people in Garrett county have to abide
by the law and the outsiders or peo-
pile residing in Pennsylvania can come
in, shoot whatever is in season by the
Pennsylvania laws and recross the line
into Pennsylvania with the game they
have killed in Maryland.
Pretty soft for the Pennsylvania
boys; but where is the game warden
down along the line? Better wake
up.
Wants Road Boosted.
What should the people in the YOU
ghiogheny valley say? Say, onto the
Pennsylvania State line with ma
cadamized road from Selbysport. 1t
is only about three miles. Be boost
err for this road and it will open up
more trade than any other three miles
in Garrett county.
Let every man and woman start
boosting the Selbysport-Somerfield
river level road. Yours truly,
Charley Frazee.

members had their say, even if it
was a minority one.
Mahon, of Maricopa, was staunch
in the view that the governor had
been elected by the people, and was
with the legislature on Colorado
river matters. During the past few
weeks he declared, there has not
Teen much cooperation given the
governor by this legislature"
"But," put in Coxon, Cochise, "has
the governor given this legislature
much co-operatlon?"
Representative Vernettie Ivy was
aligned with her colleague from,
Maricopa. It was only fair, she held
that Governor Hunt be given an
equal representation on the commits
sion. He had protected Arizona s
rights in the Colorado as chief execu
tive of the state for years and il
was his due that we have an equal
vote in the commissions action.
On the whole, however, the argu
ments of the belligerents drowned
cut the cries of the $3.50 break
advocates and, the house adjourned,
Representative Brooke of Yavapai,
took it upon himself to express the
sentiment of the house by saying:
''It was all we could do. We voted
the Colorado river bill only because
it was the last hope that some
thing toward river development
might be done by the proposed COM
mission"

consulted.
In the house today the statement
was made by Representative Sosnow-
ski, republican, Michigan, that mo
sane man familiar with the acts of the
present Mexican government or with
the character of the men enforcing its
edicts can doubt that it is communistic
in purpose"
Representative Connally, of Texas,
democrat in the foreign affairs COM
mittee also touched on the Central
American situation in the house, de-
claring that attacks by administration
critics that it's Nicaraguan campaign
was prompted by more selfish reasons
than protection of lives and property
had been substantiated
"It is now entirely plain" he as
serted, that the administration intends
power the weak Diaz.'
",rhe real reason why we are in Mica
ragua is difficult to say, but so far as
we are able to ascertain it is to protect
the loans of few American corpora
tions. There is a group of financiers
in New York, 1 am informed, that Will
soon take over railroad properties from
the existing Nicaraguan government.
"The claim that we are there to pro-
tect the American canal treaty rights
is the flimsiest of pretexts and un-
worthy of the department of state. The
only diplomacy our secretary of state
knows is to make it an agency of eX-
ploitation.'
The Texan predicted that as soon as
congress adiourns the administration
will begin "its conquest of Nicaragua"
in earnest.
