More Money and Less Work

Nothing has been said of the Anal
gamated Society for the Prevention
of Work lately, simply because they
have been working on a plan whereby
they won't have to work. Poky Shaw,
the head man in the organization,
just announced this morning that
through his society's efforts, there will
be a building erected in the old COW
pasture lot wherein will be housed
machinery for the manufacture of
noisless alarm clocks.
Enough orders can be obtained
from Oakland people to keep the
members of the amalgamated society
from working for three years and a
half" Bill Frazee, one of the men,

was presented through the efforts of
Reed Smouse and Tom Flanagan, and
for this distinctive service, these two
will become life members of the order.
Details of this will be worked out
later, but the amalgamated members,

Will Result If Party Members
Work In Unison

If the Republicans in the State
avoid fractional conflicts and disputes
and work in unison with the intelli-
gent and experienced leadership" of
Senator Phillips Lee Goldsborough,
Maryland finally will cease to become
"a Richie principality with life ten
ure in office and will take her place
in the column of dependable Republi-
can States"
This view was expressed Saturday
by Galen L. TAFT, chairman of the Re-
publican State Central Committee,
speaking at the annual spring rally of
the Maryland Federation of Republi
can Women at Towson.
Opposition Divided.
"Now, while the opposition party is
divided, the Republican party is unit
ed" Mr.. TAFT said. mo one who
strives to break that unity is serving
his party interest.
"Let US Republicans, whether lead
ers, workers or party officials, work
in unison with the intelligent and ex-
perienced leadership of one who has
been master of Republican politics
in our State for a generation-State's

official, Governor of Maryland, leading

Four Measures Presented
eff we follow successful and dis
interested Republican leadership, then
we can hope and expect that Maryland
will finally cease to become Richie
principality with life tenure in office,
border or doubtful State, and Mary
land will take her place in the column
of dependable Republican States"
Governor Richie and members of
the Legislature were criticized be-
cause of opposition to the bills spon-

Now For the Big Festival

NOW For the Big FESTIVAL
Amid a downpour of grain; with
thousands of makers and partakers
along the line of march, the Corn
Festival parade took place last night
as predicted.
Last minute nominations from all
sections of the county caused the cleo
ton of a dark horse from the fair
grounds as King Corn and he was
seated astride the water wagon on his
journey to the celebration grounds.
On his right was P. T. LargeHades,
prince of the Dead Pond district; on
his left, Silent Womanhorn, who made
a close run for first honors.
The Prince of Quality Hill, Bonus
DailyCanary, was unable to be pres
ent at the coronation, as he was called
away to more peaceful chimes.
Following the three leading charac-
tiers were C. Lovebird, Huey Darvey,
X. Right, L. Silvertwain, John Whit
ing, Cave Dollins, Cud Buster, A.
Gorilla, and others.
The Canaan Valley symphony band
and the Sand Flat Warblers combined
to make one of the largest musical or
CARNATIONS ever to parade in Oakland,
and Representatives from all sections
of the county were in line.
The parade, after filling all streets
of the town, headed across the swing
ing bridge for the bier garden where
an effigy of white mule was set on
fire and the speaker of the evening
introduced.
The speaker, I. M. Stude, was from
the Smokehole district of West Vir-
GINA, and he gave an inspiring adj
dress. zone might suppose that rocks
would hinder the growth of corn"
he exclaimed, "but the Smokehole re-
gions are full of rocks and we raise
more corn there than any other sec
ton of the State. We also raise
trouble, but that is neither here nor
there"
Then the dark horse was crowned
with a bride wreath and the celebra-
ton commenced. Evidently it is still
going on for a number of cars have
been seen coming from and going in
that direction.
