ALWAYS WANTED A HORN !;
GIVES DONATION TO BAND.
Charles Barr Gives Toward Pur-
chase of Bass Horn

ever since l was little boy l
wanted a bass horn ever so badly. l
never got it, but now have an OPP
portunity to help somebody else get
one, and am going to do it. l never
had an opportunity to get goat I'M
til was forty and l always wanted
one of those animals too"
After making these statements,
Mr.. Charles Barr, of Brownsville, Pa,
who has been a resident of McHenry
and Garrett county during the sum-
mer months for more than ten years,
and who was making a business call
at The Republican office on Monday,
handed the editor a check for five dol
lars, to be turned over to R. R. Gil
bert, director of the Boys Band, to
be applied on the purchase of the in
strument which is so badly needed.
More Encouragement
Mr.. Barr is a subscriber to The Re-
publican, and read of the voluntary
contribution of Miss Thekla Funden-
berg, of Washington, D. c., in last
weeks issue. When the check was
presented to Mr.. Gilbert there was
still another encouraging report. Rus
sell Brown, assistant to Mr.. Gilbert,
was in Baltimore last week and he
talked for a few minutes with DR..
John Legge, prominent physician, and
formerly of Oakland. He has promis-
ed to send his cornet to the band with
the proviso that it be put to good US
age.
"These incidents are certainly en-
couraging," Mr.. Gilbert said. "Since
former citizens of Oakland and those
who are away for short time have
shown such an active interest in the
Boys Band, l wish a lot of people
would take a short visit somewhere,
read The Republican, and donate a
little money toward the purchase of
that horn," he said. at wouldn't be
long then before our greatest need
would be fulfilled"

HORTON HUTTON INTEREST
APPALLING Oil Company Said to be
Purchasers of Property.

That the Lang Horton interests at
Hutton, six miles west of Oakland,
had been sold to the Appaline Oil Co.,
which concern will use it as the base
for a distributing station through this
section, was circulated last night by
residents of Hutton, but the report

land formerly occupied by tannery,
which was burned two or three years
ago, has been sold to the oil concern,
which will start operations there on or
about May l, after making extensive
repairs to the buildings now on the
property and the erection of tanks
and other required structures.
That factory site had been donat-
ed for the erection of wooden mill
was also report in circulation last
night. 1t is understood that negotia-
ations for the property have been
pending for two or three months.
A telephone call to the general man.
ager of the oil company at Kingwood
failed to confirm the reported pur-
chase of the property. He admitted,
however, that there had been negotia-
tons pending.

work on the part of the Oakland High

feated in basketball on last Thursday

team thoroughly avenged themselves

CHAIRMAN TAFT ASKS MIR.
BRUCE TO BE CONSISTENT
Requests Him To Father Move
ment In Maryland Against a
Fourth Term for Governor

Galen L. TAFT, Republican State
chairman of Maryland, has requested
Senator Bruce, now a candidate to
succeed himself, to father a movement
against the election of any Governor
of Maryland for fourth time.
In an open letter to the Senator Mr..
TAFT recalled the fact that Mr.. Bruce
had spoken in the Senate with great
effect against a third term for Pres
ident of the United States in connec-
ton with the LaFollette anti-third
term resolution now pending.
Sees Parallel Situation
Mr.. TAFT wants to know if there is
not a parallel between a Presidential
third term and a Gubernatorial fourth
term, his inquiry, of course, being
prompted by suggestions that Cover
nor Richie again might seek to sue
coed himself.
Mr.. Tait's letter follows:
"The press quotes you as having
stated in the Senate last Tuesday that
you favored the La Toilette resolution
covertly aimed at President Coolidge's
eligibility as candidate for another
term, thereby gratuitously rebuking
the President, Notwithstanding his
twice-repeated declination to run for
the Presidency, for which he had been
almost universally favored by the bus
mess element and by citizens gener-
ally of Baltimore and Maryland.
Cites Press Quotation.
''The press and Congressional Rec
ord also quote you as saying:
"'I would not vote for any Demo-
cratic candidate for Presidential
third term, though he were Thomas
jefferson, an Andrew Jackson, a Gro
yer Cleveland or a Woodrow Wilson.
"May 1 inquire, will you refuse
likewise, to vote for Gov. Albert G..
Richie for a fourth term as Governor
of Maryland-if not nominated for
President? In that alternative, his
candidacy for Governor is generally
assumed.
"Will you also use your influence
in support of a resolution in the next
General Assembly of Maryland, SINH
lar to the Senate resolution you favor,
declaring against a fourth term as
Governor, thereby honoring the previ-
Gus Maryland tradition against a sec
ond term as Governor and the Mary
land Declaration of Rights, which de-
clares in Article a.
"'That a long continuance in the
executive departments Of power or
trust is dangerous to liberty; a rota-
ton, therefore, in those departments
is one of the best securities of perma-
nent freedom
Cites Attack on Coolidge.
"In your Senate speech you admon-
ished President Coolidge that it would
have been wise if in his destinations
to run hehad translated what he said
from Vermontese into plain English
"Will you state, in the same plain
English whether you would be con-
sistent and oppose Governor Richie
for nomination and election for a
fourth term as Governor of Mary
land?"

CHESTNUT FARMS DAIRY
TO LOCATE IN OAKLAND
This Assurance Given by Henry
Brawner, President, at Dinner
Saturday at William-James

The Chestnut Farms Dairy
of Washington, D. c., will begin
operations with milk receiving
station in Oakland on May 1, &C
cording to Henry Brawner, pres
ident of the company, who was
here Saturday comforting with
County Agent j. L. McGlone and
a representative body of local
business men, farmers and dali
rymen.
eve will have our plant COM
pleted by May L." stated Mr..
Brawner, land at that time we
will require at least eight hun
dred gallons of milk daily"
Continuing, Mr.. Brawner stat
ed that it was his hope to receive
at least thousand gallons of milk on
that day with a continued increased
until the county counld furnish to his
company 5000 gallons of milk daily,
the amount required to operate re-
frigerated tank car between Oakland
and Washington, D. C.
Mr.. Brawner, accompanied by Mr..
wv. V. Dawson, general superinten-
Dent of the Chestnut Farms Dairy,
and John P. Dugan, general baggage
and milk agent of the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad, were here on Saturday
and at dinner served at the William
James Hotel, Mr.. Brawner and Mr..
Dawson stated their requirement for
locating the receiving station here,
and their proposals were accepted by
the thirty or more representative bus
mess men and farmers who attended
the dinner.
Only two of the requirements for
locating the receiving station here
will be of much concern to the farm
ers of the community, it was said,
and they are in reference to the re-
modelling to some extent the greater
number of barns now on the farms
in this section, and a tuberculin test
to be made of all dairy cattle.
Proposed Sites Inspected
There were three sites for the loca
ton of the buildings under considera-
ton on Saturday, and after inspec-
ton by Mr.. Brawner and the superin-
tendent of the dairy they felt that the
old Glades Hotel lot located along the
Baltimore and Ohio tracks and hav-
ing an outlet on the alley near the
Second street crossing, was the more
adaptable for their purposes than
either the site at Loeb Lynn Heights
or the one located west of Oakland
near the Bradley farm.
The Glades Hotel lot is the prop
erty of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road Company and it is understood
that it can be procured for a reasona-
BILE amount. Members of the Garrett
dairy committee are now awaiting
a reply from the real estate depart
ment of the railroad company con-
corning its purchase.
The plant to be constructed by the
dairy company will cost from $4,000
to $4,000, it was estimated by Mr..
Brawner.
Also to Handle Fresh Eggs.
In letter from Mr.. Dugan to Mr..
McGlone it was stated that in con-
nection with the handling of milk at
the station by the Chestnut Farms
Dairy, eggs will also be bought and
shipped. In discussing this, Mr.. Braw-
ner, according to the letter from Mr..
Dugan, said that he regretted he had
not thought to mention it at the din
ner, and that he would gladly find
fresh egg market for the community
as an additional source of revenue.

pended for mon h by Mayor George
Smith for alleged INSTRUMENTATION.
Fifty per cent OF the police, it
should be added. is Daniel Latin,

of the force is chief.
Mr.. Latin has been member Of
