People who realize what traffic
and parking problems have been
created by the use of 10000 auto
mobiles in the United States will
wonder what would be done to
handle the traffic problem if there

CREDIT-AND BUSINESS

Each year credit is becoming more
and more important as factor in bus
mess. From the greatest industry on
down the line to the man who uses his
credit to buy his weekly grocery re-
quirements, credit is factor or domi-
mating interest to one and all.
Naturally when a certain business
activity becomes a part and parcel of
ones own daily life, he is interested
in knowing as much as possible about
it.
Of first importance to each one,
whether he is m the habit of making
daily use of his credit or not, is the
maintaining of his credit rating upon
the highest plane.
When one finds it necessary TO
make use of his credit is not always
known, for the occasion may arise
almost at a moments notice. Then
if every precaution has been taken
to maintain ones credit, fellow towns
men are always glad to aid in every
way they can.
In today's issue of The Republican
a group of Oakland merchants and
business men are calling the attention
of the people to the power of credit
and the feeling of satisfaction OBJ
tanned from the knowledge that a per-
sons word is as good as his bond.
These merchants and leaders in the
business world of the community If
which Oakland is part have the right
idea.

TO HOLD CHILD HEALTH
DAY IN STATE MAY FIRST
Maryland to Unite With Rest of
Country in Celebration

Maryland will unite with the rest
of the country on the first day of May
in the nationwide celebration of Child
Health Day. DR.. J. H. NJ. Knox, Jr.,
Chief of the Bureau of Child Hygiene
of the State Department of Health is
chairman of the Maryland committee
which is composed of representatives.
of all organizations interested in the
health or welfare of the children of
| the State-including the City and
State Department of Health and of
Education; the Parent-Teacher Asso-
Citations; State and local medical
socities; public health nursing organi-
cations; home demonstration groups;
women's clubs; the Playground Ath-
letic League; the Federation Of Labor;
the State Dairy Council, the Scout
organizations; the Crippled Children's
League, and other child caring agen-
cies.
The day will be celebrated in the

Children and May Day are natural
ly associated together" DR.. Knox said
in announcing the appointment of the
Maryland committee, because both
symbolic happiness and growth. For
the children themselves, the day will
be marked by special exercises in the
schools and out of doors, but the
principal reason for celebrating Child
Health Day is to focus the attention
of the grown-ups on the younger citi-
zens of the State and on certain rights
they have to health and to good care,
not only for one day, but for every
day in the year. And in Maryland
that means good health and good care
for what amounts to a great army,
for the very young children and those
still in school constitute about one
third of the total population Of the
State. Roughly speaking, that means
oxer $4,000 out of the total estimated
population of 100000. A great
army upon which the health and pros
perity of the State will depend

The ideal to which we should
strive is that there shall be no child in

medical attention and inspection; that
does not receive primary instruction

milk FOR TWO

With the practical assurance that q
new milking shipping station will be
located in Oakland, it would now, seem
appropriate to change that familiar
expression, "tea for two" to milk for
two, because that is going to be the
only outcome of the whole proposition,
the "two" meaning, of course, the new
milk shipping station and the one
which is already firmly established in
the communicable Oakland Cream
cry Company.
In the opinion of The Republican
if Garrett county is adapted to any in
dustry at all, it is surely adapted to
dairying, and the only thing needed
to prove this fact is an added incen-
tive to farmers to increase their pro-
duction in this line. With the advent
of the new station there is going to be
this added incentive, and in the course
of few years Garrett county is going
to find herself occupying the same
position all other dairying commun-
tiles are occupying.
There is not a dairying section that
did not have its start on a small scale.
Moorefeld, w. Va, started in with
a creamery with much less milk per
day than Oakland needs to start the
new plant and today Moorefield is
standing pretty we'll up in the list. Of
milk producing communities.
The results of the tests being made
by DR.. Poe and DR.. NJ H. Trout with
respect to bovine tuberculosis, is only
another proof that Garrett county is
adapted to dairying, because of its
healthy CATTLE In the number of cat
tie tested thus far, less than one-half
of one percent have been found defec-
tive; in fact, one COW in two hundred
and twenty. Where cattle are found
to be healthy there is the place to
take advantage of the situation and
make dairying pay.
Garrett county is starting in a COM
paratively small way too, but the adj
ded incentive of having two stations
will cause the awakening of the farm
ers to their opportunities as dairymen.
The dairy committee, which has
worked long and faithfully on the pro-
ject, has done its part in bringing
about the desired end; the Oakland
Commercial Club has executed what it
set out to accomplish in raising by
popular subscription among the bust
ness men of Oakland the required sum
of money with which to purchase the
site for the new plant; the Baltimore
and Ohio Railway Company has dis
charged it's obligation to the commu-
nifty and it is now up to the farmers,
who in the end will be the ones to
profit, to make dairying successful
adventure in this county.
More time devoted to dairying and
less attention to some other minor
problem on the farm, will open new
era for Garrett county. 1t will make
Garrett county what it should have
been long time ago-a dairying
county.

Nothing. in fact, swas lacking in

The play is being presented in the
municipal auditorium in Harrington

Although the matinee played TO a
scattered ragged house. the night
show had an audience that practic-
ally filled the theater and responded
with whole hearted applause after
each special musical number or dance.
To attempt to pick an outstanding
star from among the leads would be
as difficult as attempting 10 find the
.proverbial needle in the haystack.
From the leads to the most minor
parts, the play was we'll rounded and
presented a finish unknown TO the
usual run Of road attractions.
