SEVERELY BURNED WHEN
GAS IGNITES CLOTHING
Mrs. Alvin GOrtner Suffering as
Result of Accident Saturday.

Mrs. Alva G. Gortner sustained
very painful burns Saturday morning
about IL o'clock when her clothing
became ignited from an open gas
stove in a room at her home on Second
street. Mrs. Gortner was leaning on
a table at the time and the flames
fiaring out caught her skirt. Feeling
the heat, she moved away from the
fire and a few seconds afterward dis
covered that her clothing was in
flames. She managed to tear the
dress from her body, which prevented
her face and neck from being burned.
DR.. M. C. Hinebaugh was immedi-
ately called and dressed her injuries,
which are now healing satisfactorily.
She is, however, suffering greatly
from nervous shock and she is unable
to rest comfortably.
Her husband, who was at home at
the time of the occurrence, was pain
fully though not seriously burned on
his hands in attempting to assist Mrs.
Gortner while her clothing was still
ignited.

prominent local man and the Flat Iron

BOWLING DINNER ENJOYED
BY MORE THAN so PERSONS
Business and Pleasure was Com
bined at Banquet Thursday

More than fifty members and
friends of the Oakland Bowling
League were gathered last Thursday
night in the first of a series of ban
quets, which was held at the Manhat-
tan Hotel on Second street. Short
addresses were made by Mr.. Joseph
E. Harmed and Rev Charles A. Shilke,
and the Oakland Quartet rendered
several selections. Walter W. Dawson
was the POSTMASTER and as usual he
was in good spirits and everything
went off with a bang.
Both the address of Mr. Harmed and
Rev. Shilke pointed out the advan-
tages derived by bringing together for
fellowship so many persons of various
professions and trades and the hope
that the league would continue to
grow was expressed by each of the
speakers.
In the business session of the ban
quet it was decided to merge the
Lutheran and Brotherhood teams and
the Ramblers and Printers teams. 1t
was also decided to allow but 70 pins
for an absentee hereafter instead of
80 pins, and any player being absent
three times in succession without just
cause, should be automatically dropped
from the team of which he is a men,
Der.
In the second round of the League,
which started Monday night, the Post
office defeated the Merchants in three
games; Methodists defeated Presby-
terians in three games and the Ro-
tarians defeated Crellin two out of
three contests.
Dan Spiker was high scorer for the
week with 1872 pins for one game and
All pins for three games.
Tonight Gorther and the Ramblers
will meet and the Merchants will bat
tie with the Methodists. On Friday
night the postponed game between the
X. of C. and the Lutherans will be
played.

Six Weeks of Winter Weather

For one day year and one day
only the lowly grounding has his day,
and that is today, February 2. Upon
this day he comes forth from his hi
bernal shelter in quest of the omen,
according to tradition, which foretells
the number of wintry weeks remain
ing before warm weather makes its
appearance.
If such be the case there can be no
doubt in any minds in Garrett county
that there will be six weeks more of
bad weather, for the willy wood
chuck. whose ability as a weather
prognosticator is sworn at and by,
saw his shadow long before many peo-
pie of this county were up and doing,
and has scurried back to his under
ground habitat for another six weeks
and Garrett countians will have more
wintry weather.
Should the day have been cloudy,
however, the grounding would not
have seen his shadow and winter
would have been at an end. But who
cares about that? It's only six more
weeks, anyway, so why worry?

ity and every community in Garrett

spirit of working with and for one
another and for cooperation, the vital
force in the development of any COM

According to an authority on the
subject, every time anyone spends a
dollar in this community, for any
purpose whatever, that dollar goes
straight and true as an arrow toward
helping to make this better place in
which to live.
That dollar helps to build new
homes, better roads, new schools,
more churches. 1t makes possible the
construction, the maintenance and the
enjoyment of added comforts and
conveniences for all of the people of
the community.
The advertisements, as they appear,
envelop the following ideas: The
commendable spirit of working with
and for one another, making ones

townsmen, making Oakland and the
communities of Garrett county smile
