ELECTION is OVER

The municipal election is over. The
Mayor, members of Council and the
City Treasurer have been elected by
the greatest number of voters ever
participating in contest in the his
tory of Oakland. There were many
ballots cast against those who were
elected. That is perfectly proper, be-
cause that is the privilege of the in
dividual voter.
But that is all past now. The differ
ences between friends which existed
on election day should disappear, and
these differences in many cases did
disappear as soon as the polls closed
Now all are united and are back of
the winners and are supporting them
in every laudable undertaking for the
betterment of Oakland and it's resi-
dents.
The election is over. Good men and
an excellent woman have been select
ed as officers. The new administra-
ton will begin to function on April
LIST. 1t should have the united sup
port of every individual in the city.

SMILE AND

Smile and the world smiles with
you. A truer statement was never
made. Test it out for yourself. When
you get up in the morning, get up
with a smile, meet your family and
your friends with a smile-see what
a big improvement it makes in your
day.
Smiling will get work done quickly
and efficiently. Smiling is so much
easier to do than frowning. The frown
of determination may we'll and profit
ably be replaced by the smile of will
ingness to serve.
Smile at neighbor Jones and he will
smile at you.
Smiles tend toward happiness in
the home and in the community. 1t
carries with it it's own reward
knowledge that each day we are doing
our share toward making this better
and happier place in which to live.
Smiles make little troubles out of
big ones, and little troubles disappear
entirely when met with a smile.
Watch for the smiles of the Oak
land business and professional men
on Community Sales day, March 81.
They will be out to serve their GUS
toners.

WHILE THE IRON is HOT.

Coming at time when dairying is
fast becoming Garrett county's best
known industry, the short course in
feeding and care of dairy cattle, which
is to be held at the Accident and
Grantsville high schools March 10 to
%, inclusive, should be welcomed by
every farmer in those communities.
1t is not the first time that these
short courses have been conducted in
Garrett county, but they are becom-
ing more and more valuable each year
in making known to farmers the i'm
portance of careful breeding, good
food and proper care.
To prove that dairy cattle in Mary
land need improvement, one need only
to compare the annual production per
cow of this State with that of other
parts of the world. Netherlands, 1885;
Switzerland, $3.50; Denmark, 5666;
United States, 1927; Maryland, $3.50.
By these figures, which are furnished
by the Bureau of Dairying, it is cas-
lily seen that the United States is very
low and that Maryland is below the
United States.
The short course will be in charge
of a specialist from the University
of Maryland, and he will endeavor to
impress the farmers with the impor-
lance of scientific breeding. If Mary
land is to increase her milk produc-
ton, the start must be made on this
basis.
Every farmer is welcome to attend
these courses, the schedule of which
appears in a news story in this issue
of The Republican. The only thing
that is asked of him is his time, and
the information obtained from atten-
dance at these meetings will be of the
greatest value to him.
If proposed plans are successfully
carried out Garrett county will soon
become known as the greatest dairy
ing county. Everyone has heard the
old adage, '"Strike while the iron is
hot" Change it and you have Learn
dairying while the time is ripe"

THE GREAT TEACHER

The GREAT IEACHER
There are men who accept Jesus
as Teacher who do not accept Him
as a Saviour. Most of the leading
men of the world, men of various re-
ligious faiths and some of no faith,
stand reverently, with uncovered
heads, in the presence of Jesus of
Nazareth, and acclaim Him the great
est Teacher who ever lived. Stephen
Wise, the outstanding Jewish rabbi,
Mahatma Ghandi, the greatest living
Hindu, H. G. Wells and George Ber-
nard Shaw, most brilliant figures in
the world of literature, are few ex-
amples of modern men who, though
not Christians, nevertheless testify
that Jesus is the Master Teacher of
the ages, and that only from Him
can the world learn the way out of
the darkness of social chaos and spir-
itual tragedy into the new day when
man shall truly find himself and civil
ization shall become truly civilized.
At the conclusion of the Sermon on
the Mount we read that, "The multi
tudes were astonished at His teach
ing, for He taught them as one hav-
ing authority, and not as the scribes""
Matt. 1929. This Teacher was ut
terly different from the rabbis to
whom the people had been listening
all their lives, whose discourses were
nothing but long strings of musty
quotations from Torah and Talmud,
styling that had been Showed over
in many thousands of mouths until
they had lost whatever flavor and
vitality they had ever had. Here was
a new Teacher who was His own au-
thority, whose words were not par
rot-like repetition of what His audi
ence already knew by heart-words
with the freshness of the early morn
ing dew of the Syrian hillsides where
He stood; words with the charm of the
lilies to which He pointed as He
spoke; words as luminous with truth
as the rising dawn across the Galilean
Lake.
A book was recently written by a
professor of education in a great
American university entitled Jesus,
the Master Teacher" After making a
critical analysis of the Gospel records
the author makes the amazing state
ment that the unframed Carpenter of
Nazareth, who lived centuries before
the birth of modern science and mod
ern pedagogy, nevertheless anticipated
and practiced with consummate skill
the fundamental principles of the
most up-to-date educators.
Jesus was and is and always will
be the Master Teacher of mankind.
When He spoke, the blind eyes OF men
were opened and they saw deeply into
the mysteries of life and death, of ma
ture and of God And only by sitting
at His feet and listening to His voice
shall we find the truth which makes
men free.
