MT. LAKE PARK.
DO WE WANT SKIM MILK?

The United States is at peace with
all the world. And yet the Congress
has just authorized the expenditure
! of great sum of money for the build
! ing of many cruisers, work to be be-
gun at once.
All the leading nations are perfect
ing defensive armament, including
| ships of the air as well as of the sea.
Formulate for the manufacture of
destructive gases are held in readi-
ness in the secret archives of the sew
eral governments. Why?
Since the civilized nations are at
peace with each other, what is the
reason for so much activity in the di-
rection of war?
The answer is obvious: "In time of
peace, prepare for war"
What is true internationally in gov
ernmental affairs applies to individu-
ais, municipalities and states. Bust
ness is~highly competitive, and the
person or municipality failing to take
stock of the present and prepare for
the future can be likened unto the
man that builded his house upon the
sands.
He is not ready for business when
it arrives.
Now, what place has all this in a
column in The Republican devoted to
| the news happenings and other mat
ters pertaining to Mountain Lake
Park?
Simply this: At this time of the
year when leisure is the thing we have
the most of in this community, we
should do some concrete thinking and
planning how best we can prepare for
the influx of visitors we have the
right to expect TO visit this mountain
top this coming summer.
Now is the beginning of the New
Year for Mountain Lake Park-the
time for mass resolutions, for the cit
liens to determine whether a start
shall be made to make, this the Resort
Desirable or whether we are content
to stand by and permit other commu-
mites which are bidding for the sum-
mer trade to skim the cream.
Numerous bills are being intro
duced in the State Legislature asking
for aid so that the several munich
palities can improve their water sys-
TENS, their paving, their sewerage.
| All this not alone for their own COM
| fort and convenience, but that the
visitor within their gates may be at
tracted by these improvements and be
induced to come again.
Nature has done its part-has pro-
vided US with a setting unsurpassed
in beauty, in healthful climate and
abundant pure water. 1t would seem
that it is up to US to take advantage
Of the opportunity which is ours.

Combined Ages of Three Sisters 295
Years.

Miss Ellen Harm, who lives in Kene-
saw, Nebraska, celebrated her one
hundredth birthday recently when the
whole community turned out en- masse
to do her honor.
This event is of unusual interest to
the people of Mountain Lake Park,
as Miss Harm is sister of Mrs. Mar
garet Jane Grove, who will be 81
years of age next April. She is the
mother of Mrs. M. C. Clayton, of the
Park and is spending the winter with
another daughter, Mrs. Charles E.
Manley, in Fairmont. The other sur
viving sister is Mrs. Gorilla Shearer,
SO years of age, who is spending the
winter at the Park with her niece,
Mrs. Clayton.
The three sisters have always been
devoted and are rounding out their
long lives marked with many beauti-
full deeds, quite happily.
The newspapers of Kenesaw gave
glowing accounts of the celebration
in honor of Miss Harm. 1t was held in
the Methodist Hall between the hours
of two and four o'clock on the after
noon of January Is. The hall was
beautifully decorated and Miss Harm,
in comfortable, easy chair, received
the congratulations of practically the
whole town. She seemed especially
interested in the four hundred school
children who passed in review, sing
ing America, the Beautiful and
''The Star Spangled Banner"
Miss Harm was born in the State
of Maryland and spent forty years of
her life in teaching school in this
State, in Pennsylvania, Minnesota,
Massachusetts, Ohio, West Virginia
and Nebraska.
Upon the occasion of her century
anniversary she received radio and
from California, Colorado, Kansas,
South Dakota, Maryland and West
Virginia.
At the reception a sextette COM
posed of ladies sang maryland, My
Maryland" in honor of her native
State, and "Those Evening Bells" to
indicate the beauty of her declining
years. A birthday cake surmounted
by one hundred candles graced the
center of the banquet table.
Miss Harm now resides on small
farm adjoining the town of Kenesaw.
She planted every tree and shrub on
the place and attended them with
care. One of her most cherished pos
sessions is a gorgeous lilac which,
when small plant, was taken from
Miss Harms ancestral home in Fred
erick county, Maryland, and trans
planted in Nebraska soil.
Mrs. E. C. Peaches class of the U.

PAYS FOR PATRIOTISM
PoinCare's Wife Eager for
Premier to Resign.

By United Press
PARIS, March 13.-Persistent in
dications that Premier Raymond
Poincare is anxious to resign from
active politics when the reparations
question is out of the way find ac-
tive confirmation from at least one
authoritative source"
The authoritative source is
Madame Poincare, who busily is
campaigning in the Poincare home
for her husband to retire and re-.
sumo his law practice-due entirely
to the family budget. She also is
worried about the premiers health.
The premier's wife points out that
the family fortune has suffered by
his patriotic devotion to his country.
Poincare, instead of earning near
ly a million francs year as a
lawyer, is paid 10000 francs an
nually as president of the council.
He is paid as a senator. The two
salaries together give him far less
than he spends.
