Important arrests we're promised by
District Attorney Monaghan today as
the grand jury investigation of rum
runners and gang murders swung into
it's fifth week. g..
The prosecutor declined to disclose
the names of those to be taken into
custody, but he said the arrests would
have IAN important bearing" on the
grand jury investigation.
A score of witnesses were summoned
to appear before the jury today, among
them several policemen alleged to have
received Christmas gifts. chiefly tur-
keys, from Max "BooBoo" Hoff, named
by Monaghan as the king of the boot
leggers." ~
Evidence already uncovered by his
detectives, the district attorney said
had shown that the bootleg ring had
paid more than $2.000,000 a year to
police and police officials for protec-
ton.
Despite the investigation, Monaghan
asserted that truckloads of Illicit
liquor were entering the city almost
daily. Last week, he said, his detec-
tives had seized five trucks of beer
and alcohol. merely to obtain evidence
for the grand jury and not in any ef-
fort to clean up the city"

IT'S HERE AT LAST

1t is as inevitable as the fact that
Hoover will be our next president, and

1t doesn't come once and leave one
immune for life like smallpox. 1t
comes oftener than the measles, but
unlike measles, it affects more than
the eyes; it influences every muscle
and organ of the body.
1t makes one want to go swimming
when he knows that the water IS
about 40 degrees above. 1t makes him
discard his hat and coat when he
knows we'll enough it isn't safe.
1t makes one take an 'I-don't-give
a-continental attitude" when he
knows full we'll that work goes on
just the same.
No matter how many years you live
you get it once a year, and there is
no incubation or vaccination that can
be used as a preventative.
Yes, although it is late in arriving,
it is spring fever, and the editor, as
sociates, Scoop and the rest of the
force have it. So do most of the
people of Garrett county. If the say
ing were not so old and trite, he might
add, $50 does your old man."

"a MAN WITH A STEAM
SHOVEL"

Herbert Hoover" said a critic, "is
just a man with a steam shovel"
The remark was intended as a crit
cism. But is it? A man with a steam
shovel; builder, man with con-
structive business imagination, who
is ready to build, to. get things done.
Wouldn't it be we'll at this time to
put a man with a steam shovel III
charge of the business of the United
States?
Hoover's record is the record of the
man with a steam shovel After the
war, with huge farm SURPRISES piled
up, with Europe threatening to break
the market, what did Hoover do? He
went abroad at his onw charges to
persuade the European governments
to live up to their contract and to
open the closed German market to
American food. In that country and
in other liberated nations he obtained
a market for more than 10 million tons
of foodstuffs and saved the American
farmers from ruin.
AS a side issue he raised 80 million
dollars for child relief and took care
of 10 million children; then organized
the drive that brought 33 million more
for the children of Germany, Austria
and Poland.
Europe found him the man with
the steam shovel.
He came home and headed the 90
scure department of commerce, lifted
it out of the ruck and made it a great
force in the nations economic life
1t was Hoover's- conference on unem-
ployment that pointed the way to con-
certed action on the part of Ameri-
can industry to 200 million dollars a
year.
The steam shovel was at work.
He charted the channels of foreign
trade and made his department sc
useful that it received 10000 inqui-
ries day on trade subjects, on which
invaluable information is furnished
to American business.
A steam shovel job.
He revived the war finance corpora
ton to finance the distressed farmer
in the agricultural crisis. He organ
lied the Mississippi Valley flood re.
lief. He put over the inland water
ways program to reduce transpnrta-
ton charges to and from the inland
farm empire.
Yes, the Hoover steam shovel has
been busy the last ten years.
Isn't the man with the steam shove
the man to put in charge of the big
problems confronting the country
The problems of the farm, of manu-.
facture, of trade in general?
Who else than Hoover fits the sit
uation of general manager of the U
S. A. at this time?

CIVIL WAR VETERAN, 81,
MARRIES WOMAN AGED "a
Grantsville Couple Figure in IN
usual Romance Last Saturday

Even a bachelor at the age of 81
years finds romance an interesting ex-
perience and this was proven when
Christian Lichty married Mrs. Annie
Wegman-Murphy, aged IA, Saturday
afternoon at three o'clock at the lat
ter's home in Grantsville, the cere-
mony being performed by the Rev. j.
w. Johnson, pastor of the GFantsville
Methodist Epicopal church.
The aged couple was attended by
Mrs. J. w. Stanton and son, Harry
Stanton, both of Grantsville. Mrs.
Mollie McCaw, Oswego, N. Y, and
Mr.. Charles Wegman, of Frostburg,
a former sheriff of Garrett county,
sister and brother of the bride,
were both present as was also Harry
Leatham, of Salisbury, Pa, close
friend of the bridegroom.
Born in Bridal Home.
The bride was born March %, 1858,
in the same house in which she be-
came a bride on Saturday. She is q
daughter of the late John H. Veg
man, who was a we'll known farmer
of his day. The bridegroom was born
in Somerset, Pa, October "a, 1887,
and during the early days of his life
farmed and mined coal. He enlisted
as volunteer in the Twenty
Pennsylvania Cavalry at the outbreak
of the Civil War and served until the
close of hostilities.
There will be no honeymoon trip
for the couple except that which they
may have on the front porch of their
little log cabin situated on the Ma
tional Highway just on the east out
skirts of Grantsville. The building
is probably the oldest in the town.
The bride, when questioned about
her honeymoon trip, said it would be
in the back yard feeding the pigs and
chickens followed by the chopping of
wood for the morning fire in the cook
stove.
Apparently they are very happy
over their matrimonial adventure.
