REORGANIZED IN COUNTY
State Boys Club Agent and
County Agent Make Necessary
Plans

For the purpose of reorganizing
boys All clubs in Garrett county, Mr..
E. G. Jenkins, better known as
Daddy Jenks," State Boys club
agent, University of Maryland Ex-
tension division, was in Oakland on
Tuesday and Wednesday, comforting

The members of the club would
conduct projects for the purpose of
learning how to raise better crops and
better livestock, etc, and it is the
hope of the club leader and the county
agent, that several clubs will be
started in Garrett county. Immediate
attempts will be made, Mr.. Carter
said, to form a club at Oakland and
Grantsville, and other communities
showing interest will also be assisted
to his fullest extent.
There were 1925 boys and girls en-
rolled in club work in Maryland last
year, 70 percent of whom carried
their projects to completion. The
value of the projects which club men,
bers owned or produced amounted to
$230,299.43.
The dairy club work lead all others
with 606 members, 400 completing
their work with 855 animals at
value of $122,932.
In Garrett county "a club members
were enrolled in dairying and 10 in
an Irish potato club. 1t is hoped
that more will be entered this year
and that all will complete their pro-
jects.

furnishes the boys with five bushels
of certified seed potatoes. These are
to be planted on a measured quarter
acre of ground and at the end of the
season the potatoes from each grow
er are judged and graded.

WALTERS is GIVEN LIFE
SENTENCE FOR Staying
Prohibition InfOrmer, Twice
Convicted, Sentenced in Hagers-
town

Life Imprisonment was the sentence
imposed Monday in Washington
County Circuit on Reginald E. Wal
tiers, former prohibition informer,
twice convicted of Staying his chief,
Hunter R. Stotler, in July, 1927.
Stotler operated in Garrett county
and made numerous arrests here.
Stotler was shot down on lonely
road near Boonsboro, while he and
Walters were searching for stills at
night Walters returned alone with
the story that their automobile had
been ambushed by moonshiners and
Stotler was shot and killed. Later
he confessed he shot Stotler and
claimed it was self-defense.
He also alleged Stotler had been
intimate with his wife. But the
State claimed he killed Stotler be-
cause he was jealous of Stotler's
superiority in the prohibition forces
and because Stotler was blocking his
way to promotion.
Walters was first tried before a
judge and jury and was convicted.
His attorneys appealed and the APP
peals Court, several months ago,
granted him a new trial. He was
tried and convicted second time
last month.
Judge Frank G.. Wagaman, with
Associate Judge Albert A. Doub, pre-
sided and imposed sentence. Walters
counsel did not indicate that they
would file any further motions in the
case.
In imposing sentence, Judge Waga-
man remarked that he hoped the
officials Of the Maryland Penitentiary
would see that the sentence was car
ried out. Those in the courtroom
construed the remark as bearing on
the recent escape of Jack Hart.

findings of the experts, so that they
might profit by the experience. The
results of the experiments will have

dent Hoover's secretary.
They declined 70 divulge the pur-

commit themselves regarding the
filling of the place en- the District
Supreme Court bench recently
created by Congress.
President Coolidge, about 10 days
before leaving the White House,
sent the nomination of Henry Ii.
Classic for the place to the Senate,
which failed to give it's approval TO
the selection of Mr.. Classic. There
has been no indication at the White

send his nomination to the Senate
again or whether he will make a
new appointment.
