receiving in the neighborhood of 1400
gallons of milk per day. The proposed
creamery requires $500 gallons. Can
the dairy farms of this community
raise enough feed to keep the cows
necessary to supply this quantity of
milk? If they cannot, are we justi-
fled in discarding an established in
dustry which has for eight years been
a source of income to large number
of people, and which has been, dur
ing that period, the only year-round
industry which we have possessed,
for one which has yet to prove itself?
If this section can supply the requi-
site amount of milk, then, under the
present methods of preparation, will
it pass the tests required to make it
marketable as "whole milk" in the
cities? Will the present creamery
take more milk if it is available? If
it will not under the conditions now
existing, will it take more if the prep
aration is improved to meet city re-
quirements Will it take as much
as $500 gallons per day? Under pres
ent conditions, how much does the
milk net per gallon? Will it net more
if the preparation is better? Will it
net enough to justify the cost of nee
essary improvements on the farm?
In the event a new creamery is in
stalled, how much will the milk sup
piled it net per gallon? Will the milk,
as it is now prepared, be acceptable to
new creamery? If not, just what
will be required?
Have the officers of the present
creamery been approached, with view
of ascertaining whether or not, all
conditions being equal, they can or
will give to the citizens of this COM
munity the benefits expected to be de-
rived from the installation of a new
creamery?
The manager is an efficient man
whose ability is proven and whose in
tSiCoC III VIC WClldIc VI Vic COulIlu-
nifty is demonstrated by the variety of
public activities with which he has
identified himself, without thought of
pecuniary benefit. Would not the ad-
vice and counsel of one who has made
this subject his life work be of ines
Unable benefit, provided he was will
ing to cooperate?
The logical conclusion seems to be
that if, conditions being equal, the
same benefits can be derived from the
present creamery that are to be de-
rived from new one, there is no OBJ
ject in bringing in a new one, since
under any circumstances, that entails
an outlay of money on the part of the
community. But if advantages are to
be gained which cannot be met by the
present institution, and these out
weigh the cost, then apparently the
course is clear. Respectfully,
r. T. THAYER.

Car Runs Into Culvert Head and

A Buick sedan was damaged to the
extent Of about $50 when the driver

bent, as was also the front axle and
tire rim.

EXHIBIT YOUR PRODUCTS

Efforts now being made by the Gar
rett County Agricultural Fair Asso-
citation are showing that at least in a
financial way the Fair this year is 60
ing to be one of the most successful
ever held, and it is now up to the
farmers to show that the exhibits this
year will be along the same line-big-
ger and better than ever.
Entering ones exhibits in the Fair
to be judged along with many other
mems exhibits should give the farm
ers the same feeling that an athlete
has when he lines up on the mark to
compete with other runners. The
winners of the blue ribbons and sec
ond and third prizes should have the
same feeling that the athlete has
when he crosses the tape ahead of his
competitors.
Even the thought of being able to
raise things we'll enought to take first,
second and third prizes at county
fair should be enough to stimulate
the most intense interest, and now
that the association has worked out a
means whereby all back premiums are
being paid and future premiums made
certain, the farmers should have no
hesitation at all in getting behind
Alvey Martin, manager this year, and
County Agent j. L. McGlone, who are
visiting oranges this week and in
later weeks to discuss fair problems
and create a little enthusiasm, if that
is necessary.
The Republican does not feel that
any enthusiasm needs to be created.
1t feels that when the farmers realize
the efficiency of the fair association
the buildings will not be large enough
to hold all the exhibits.
Plan now the things that you ex-
pect to place on exhibition. 1t may be
too late later in the season to bring
out the desired qualities of the arti-
cles or animals. Let's all get behind
the fair and its management this year
and make it what it should be-a true
show of what Garrett county is able
to produce on her farms and in her
workshops, homes and diaries.

WAIT FOR THE TRUCK.

Last night there was call sent in
for the fire department. 1t happened
that the blaze was of little conse-
quence, but if there had been million
dollar fire the two trucks of the de
partment could not have arrived a
minute sooner, and it would not have
been the fault of the drivers of the
equipment. Considering the obsta-
Giles they had to contend with, they
made record run.
But that is not the point. The
sound of the klaxon had no more eff
tects on motorists than a siren would
have blowing in the middle of the
ocean. AS the firemen tried to clear
the way by sounding the warning,
drivers of the cars going in the same
direction or in the opposite direction
paid no heed whatever.
They had to get there to see the
fire and there was nothing stopping
them. They had no thought of what
might happen if the trucks We're de-
layed any length Of time. The fire,
fortunately in this case, was small,
but the action of motorists will show
up at any fire.
Although Oakland has only a vol
unteer department, it's members know
their business. Give them a chance
to show what thew know.
Nine-tenths of the number of peo-
pie who hurried out to the fire, had
it been of any consequence, would
have been in the way, anyhow.
If there is one time when ones curl
osity should not get the better of him
it is when the fire siren lets go.
Sure, it's hard job, and if it is too
hard at least give the department
first chance and the right of way. 1t
is coming to them.
