Dividends.

Preliminary reports from the Blu
reau of Communicable Diseases of the
State Department of Health, show a
marked decrease in typhoid fever and
in diphtheria in 1926 in comparison
with 1925. Here are the figures for
sickness from these diseases, in the
counties of Maryland, for the last
five years:
1925 1925 1924 1928 1922
Typhoid S54 1858 S28 $50 972
Diph-
liberia. oil GA 1876 1887 ITO
Commenting on the decline in these
diseases, DR.. John S. Fulton, Direc-
tor of the State Department of Health
said: ct is only when we compare
the outbreaks in recent years with the
sickness and deaths from the same
diseases some years ago, that we are
able to realize what dividends are be-
ing paid to the people of the State in
the way of health and the freedom
from disease as a result of the steady,
persistent fight against communicable
diseases by the State Department of
Health and the medical profession,
backed by the intelligent cooperation
of the people of Maryland.
'To a large extent, this improve
ment has been brought about through
the cooperation Of the party Of the
third part'-the wide-aw individ-
ual. In the case of typhoid, it has
been shown in the public spirited in
terest in community meaures for pro-
tecting water and food supplies from
sources of infection, and in the steady
progress, year after year, of individ-
ual protection through vaccination
against the disease.
"The decline in diphtheria has been
brought about in much the same way.
Parents are realizing that it is posi-
BILE to prevent that dread disease by
having their children protected
against it by the use of toxin-anti-
toxin, and are availing themselves of
the opportunities offered. Not only
life, but health is being saved, be-
cause the damaging after effects are
often more disastrous than the dis
ease itself"

1927.

Uncle Sam should have prosper
Gus year in 1927 unless all signs fail.
This is the view of the leaders in the
business and industrial world. The
Associated Press recently made a sur
vey of the situation and the results
show that everywhere conservative
Americans are optimistic about the
immediate future.
Judge Gary, chairman of the U. S.
Steel Corporation, declared that while
no one can be certain about the future
there is no reason why prosperity dur
ing the coming year will be seriously
interrupted.
Continuing, ne said that "if bust
ness shall be seriously diminished dur
ing the coming year it will be the
fault of ourselves and not the fault of
natural conditions or the lack of con-

sideration and fair treatment by the
National Administration"
The manufacturers base their pre-
diction Of good year on the fact that
industry is operating at high rate of
production; that there is ample mon
ey at reasonable rates; that people
are contented and there are gradually
fewer labor disturbances.
William Green, president Of the
American Federation of Labor, is also
optimistic about 1927, and declares in
the American Federationist that con-
ditions are strongly indicative that
1927 will be as good if not better
year than 1926. He adds that another
favorable indication is the halt that
has been called on communistic activ-
titles in New York City, declaring that
so completely have the communists
been discredited that it will be less
easy to impose on the workers in the
coming year.
''Prospects are good" Mr.. Green de-
clares in conclusion, "and our unions
should be planning to keep abreast Of
this progress"
The predictions for a prosperous
1927, barring unforeseen conditions,
are therefore we'll night universal.
While we are enjoying prosperity it
behooves US not to forget the policies
which have brought prosperity about.
Only few short years ago we were
trying to recover from our part in the
most disastrous war in all history.
The American people adopted pro-
gram which had for its policy the re-
facilitating of the United States along
sane and constructive lines and with
out a deviation from American prin-
ciples. The principles included with
drawal so far as possible of the gov
eminent from private enterprise, the
adoption of a protective tariff and adj
herence to the time honored principle
of non-interference in the affairs of
Europe and determination to have
nothing to do officially with bolshe-
vism.
There was a great cutlery agaist
these policies from the International
lists who declared that the principles
were short sighted and that they
would result in the disintegration of
Europe and the consequent impover
ishment of the United States.
The results have proved that the
nationalists were right. America is
today generally prosperous and the
future, so far as we can see, is bright.
Nor has Europe been destroyed.
On the other hand, the nations across
the water are showing visible signs of
improvement. All of them are look
ing forward to better days in 1927,
and most of them feel that they have
rounded the corner and come from the
shadows into sunlight.
1t is significant, too, that in many
European countries there is a general
demand for the adoption of American
methods of business organization and
procedure. Evidently a great many
Europeans know a good thing when
they see it, even if our own interna-
tionalists do not.

The new bus line from here to
Kingwood has added another conve-
nience to our community.
Since I have had knowledge of Mt.
Lake Park from its beginning, and
also have in my possession the book
of minutes Of the late Rev. John NJ
Davis, l thought it might be of inter-
est to your readers to give a short
resume of the history of this far
famed summer resort which has prov
ed to be helpful intellectually and
spiritually to SO many thousands.
During the autumn of 1881 there
was company of men came to Oak
land, namely: Rev. C. P. Marsden,
Major ]. c. Anderson, Rev. Snodgrass
and C. w. Conner, all of Wheeling,
and Rev. E. W. Regain, of Morgan
town, West Va.
Rev. Benjamin Ison was then pas
tor of the Oakland NJ. E. church. He
and Rev. John NJ. Davis were called
into a conference to aid in selecting
a suitable location for a Christian
summer resort. The first day they
inspected the tract of land known as
civilian and Mary" lying northwest
of Oakland and along the Youghio-
gheny River. This tract of land was
thought fine for the purpose but did
not extend to the limits of the Balti-
more and Ohio railroad.
The following day they went to ex-
anime the land belonging to the Hoye
estate and beginning on its western
border about mile from Oakland. J.
A. Enlow joined the party with his
little saddle horse and which Rev.
Regain accepted and rode from where
the party had left their spring wagon
at or about the point where Hamilton
Hall now stands, and rode south to
the Baltimore and Ohio tracks, while
the others inspected the land lying to
the east and north and which at that
time was all woods.
When the party had assembled at
the point where the wagon had been
left, Rev. Regain with much stress and
emphasis said, Brethren, this is fore
ordained for the place we are seek
ing" to which all agreed.
Rev. C. P. Marsden and Major AL
derson were designated as a commit
tee to wait on w. D. Hoye, one of the
heirs, who lived where the Weber
green houses are now located and who
informed them the Mr.. George Smith,
of Bedford, Pa, was their agent. The
following day these men went to see
Mr.. Smith and they contracted with
him for the purchase of the Hoye in
terest in five hundred acres. Robert
H. Gordon, of Cumberland, owned 300
acres adjoining the Hoye property,
and upon their return from Bedford
the party stopped in Cumberland and
purchased the Gordon land, thus CIV
ing them eight hundred acres in all,
with nearly mile and half of rail-
road frontage.
A survey of the property was later
made by Mr.. John Harmed, who was
assisted in the work by H. Lowe, w.
D. Burton and James A. Enlow. The
survey sarted at the double white
oaks on which the Military Lots
hinged. These trees stood on what is
now known as the bennett road and
running parallel with the State road
leading to OAKLAND. J. A. E.

RITCHIE TO ATTEMPT
ANOTHER COMEBACK
By the Associated Press.

SAN FRANCISCO. May 13.-Willie
Ritchie, former lightweight champion,
is going to try another comeback.
From authoritative sources it was
learned today that the man who won
the world 135-pound crown here from
AL WoIgast in 1912 and lost it two
years later to Freddie Welsh has de-
cided to take another whirl at the
game that brought him fame and
some fortune.
Nearly 36 years old and weighing
around 140 pounds, Ritchie has con-
vineed himself that he can cope with
the junior welterweights of the
present generation. His age gives
him no concern, as he feels the care
he has taken Of himself since he left
the ring will enable him to surmount
the age barrier. The favored TO-
round bouts now hold no misgivings.
Most of his battles were over the
20-round route.
Nine months of training, workouts
and prescribed diet paved the way.
Several short exhibition bouts here, in
which he outclassed his opponents,
added fuel to the fires of ambition.
Twice Ritchie has figured in a
comeback role. Each venture was a
failure. The first trial was in 1919,
when he met Benny Leonard in New
Jersey. 1t was an eight-round bout,
stopped a couple Of minutes before the
final bell to save Ritchie further
punishment. In 1924 he made another
effort, and, considerably outweighed,
lost a four round decision to Joe
Simonith. But conditions then and
now are different, Ritchie believes.

Rigney made his first error since

base in the fifth Rigney had to rush
to Bluege's rescue. Ossie lost the ball
in the sun just as he was about to
make a catch and Rigney, standing
by, jumped under for the put out.
Harris made a snappy play in the
seventh to flag Metzler, who had sent
hot one by Marberry. Bucky lunged
