rectors of the First National Bank of
Oakland following their election on
Tuesday, Mr.. Fred. A. Thayer, presi-
dent of the institution, presented Mr..

fine office chair as token of the
appreciation of the board for the six
teen years of loyal service which he
had rendered the bank.
Mr.. Dawson recently resigned the
cashiership in order to take up the

by surprise by the action of his bank
friends, as no intimation Of the mat
ter had been given him in advance.
He expressed his appreciation both for
the gift and for the pleasant and
kindly relations which existed between
the directors and himself during his
connection with the bank and which
still continue. Mr.. Dawson is now as
ISOLATED with Mr.. E. R. Jones, attor-

S15O,OOO Addition to HOpemOnt

A new building will be built this
coming spring at Hopemont, near
Terra Alta, West Va, by the State.
The building is to cost S15O,OOO and
will be known as the Children's Unit.
1t will be freproof throughout and
modern in every detail. Two stories
high, it will be 237 feet in length, with
a capacity of 100 children. 1t has been
badly needed since children have been
received at the sanitarium, as the
buildings now being used for this pur-
pose are among the first built and are
not suitable.
The sanitarium at Hopemont, which
is located about nine miles west Of
Oakland on the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad, is fast becoming one of the
most up-to-date institutions of its
kind in the country and under the su-
pervision of it's present superinten-
dent, DR.. Petit, the institution is used
as model by other States.

A. w. HELBIG TO TURN
BUSINESS OVER TO SONS
Messrs. Edward and Leo Helbig
To Acquire City Roller Mills

Mr.. Andrew w. Helbig, who has
operated the City Roller Mills in Oak
land for the past seventeen years, is
to retire from the milling business on
February LIST when he will be succeed
ed by two of his sons, Messrs. Edward
and Leo Helbig.
The Helbig Brothers will conduct
the business under the old name, "City
Roller Mills" as it has been known
ever since its establishment more than
thirty years ago by the late George
M. Mason, who had the present build
ing erected.
The only change the new proprie-
tors now contemplate making is the
conducting of the business on a cash
basis. They feel that by doing this
they will be able to give farmers bet
ter prices and will also be able to
keep a larger variety of goods on
hand at all times.
Leo Helbig, the youngest member of
the new firm, has been connected with
the operation of the mill for the past
seven years and is familiar with all of
the details of the business.
J. Edward Helbig, the senior men,
Der of the new firm, has had some
experience in the milling business and
also in the mercantile business, being
at the present time an employee in the
general store of G. A. Fraley & Sons.

MINOR LAW VIOLATIONS
CAUSE ARREST OF SEVERAL
Number of Car Drivers Fail To
Carry Registration Cards and
Drivers License Tickets

Driving with 1927 license tags in
stead of the new tags required under
the law of Maryland, and having IL
cense plates obscured, were the causes
of the majority of arrests made by
State Policeman Thomas Currie dur
ing the week.
Car owners with obscured markers
being halted for the purpose of gen.
tie reminder by the officer that such
practice was purely a violation of the
law, were in most cases found to be
without their registration cord or OPP
orators license, and were hailed before
Justice w. A. Gender to answer the
charges preferred by the officer.
D. w. Shillingberg, of Terra Alta,
was fined $40 and costs for having no
renewal of his chauffeur's license on
Friday Of last week.
Charles Wilson was fined $40 and
costs on Saturday for driving without
chauffeur's license
H. L. Lininger, Hazelton, W. Va,
was fined S12 and costs on three
charges on Monday. He had no license
tags whatever, no drivers card and no
registration card.
George Klein, Terra Alta, was fined
81 and costs for having no registra-
ton card and no drivers license.
Bryson H. Thomas paid 81 and costs
on Monday for operating his car with
out muffier.
Stanley Tibbetts, Westernport, was
fined S11 and costs on two charges.
He had no registration card and wrong
license plates on his car.
w. F. Six, driving a Detroit (Mich.)
car, was fined a like amount on the
same charges.
Neil Sines, Terra Alta, paid 81 and
costs for the pleasure of having ex-
ceeded the speed limit in the vicinity
of Kings Hill.
W. W. Williams, Terra Alta, was
fined 81 and costs for having no driv-
er's license or registration card in his
possession.
practically all Of these arrests
were made simply because the people
arrested had overlooked the necessity
of carrying their cards with thenl,"
the Justice told The Republican this
morning. ''When an officer stops car
to administer a reprimand, he must
make report of the occurrence and
must question the driver as to his
card, license, etc. 1t is the failure on
the part of the operator to produce
these necessities that compels the ar
rest to be made"

GARRETT COUNTY WOMAN
SHOOTS ANDKILLSWILDCAT
Huntress, To Protect Her Home
and Property, Exhibits Stamina

The blood of pioneers still courses
through the veins of some Garrett
countians. The latest evidence of the
fact being the achievement of Mrs.
Truman Wilt, ST., told in a news ar
ticle sent to The Republican on Tues
day, as follows:
Mrs. Truman Wilt, ST., residing at
the northern extremity of the Bear
Hill Settlement, near Jennings, Md,
was aroused early last Saturday
morning by the sound as of someone
providing about the chicken house, To-
Gated at some distance from the resi-
dence.
A couple of hounds, which had been
sleeping beneath the porch of the
house, also heard the noise and at once
started out to investigate and in a
very few moments Mrs. Wilt heard a
confusion of snarling sounds, followed
by the baying of the dogs, as they ap-
parently were following a trail lead
ing toward the mountain.
Paying no further attention to the
occurrence, Mrs. Wilt remained in her
bed until daylight, but after she had
kindled fire and had begun the prep
arations for breakfast she noticed the
furious barking Of the dogs few
hundred yards up the mountain-side.
Determined to see what occasioned
the barking of the animals she threw
coat about her and went to the spot
where the dogs were and there discov-
cred a very large and ierce-looking
wildcat perched high up in tree.
Remembering that her husband was
not at home and no one in the house
but her small children, Mrs. Wilt ran
back to her home, took the shotgun
down from its place above the door
and returned to the forest. With con-
summate GOODNESS and skill she fired
at the animal and brought it down at
the first shot.
The wildcat was an unusually large
one and Mrs. Wilt thought it had
come down to her place from the
mountain in search of food.

Sale of tuberculosis Seals in the
County May be Above Average

That more money from the sale of
tuberculosis seals in Garrett county
had been turned in on January 8, 1928,
than had been handed the treasurer on
the same date last year, was brought
out in service letter issued by the
Maryland tuberculosis Association a
day or two ago.
The report showed that on January
8, 1927, there had been $172 paid
over to the treasurer, and that on
like date in the present year the sum
of $183.94 had been accounted for,
giving fair proof that Garrett county
will in all probability reach her quota.
Garrett county, in 1925, returned
$3.50, and in 1926, S305.61. Allegany
headed the list with $4,000 already
paid the treasurer for the past cam
paign, which closed on Christmas day.
In 1926 and 1926, Allegany county's
returns were $4,0S3.20 and $3.50, re-
spectively.

TEAMS TIED AS
FINAL WEEK OF
PLAY COMES Up

The last week of play in the FL
Centre Night Baseball league fail
ed to change the deadlock for first
place honors between the Sciots and
the Shell Oil, the Sciots smother
ing the Schcniman team in the
Tuesday night tussle and the oil
BOYS trouncing the Southern Sierras
Thursday night. With five games
left to play each team has piled up
a records of eight victories and one
defeat.
The defeat Of the Sicrras practic-
ally puts the remaining six teams
out. Of the running as all have lost
at least thrc" games. While the
Shell or Sciots might run into a
losing streak it is not very likely
that both teams vii faltcr in the
final dash to the tape.
Both leading teams, however, have
hard battles on their hands this
week with the Sciots facing a bit
the stiffest test. The Stewart ten
will meet the Fircmcn Tuesday
night. The Firemen are at present
holding down fourth place honors.
The Shell Oil will face the Bucks
and while the Bucks are not listed
in the standings as high as the
F'ircmen, they are Il team that is
apt to crash through to a victory
over any one of the entries.
The standing Of the teams and
the league schedule for next week
are as follows:
