Everybody Enter Now.

This is the season of contests, with
more or less varying success on the
part of the contestants, and since ev-
ervbody seemed to be on the go this
week, including Col. Bell, Slim Shaw
and all the rest Of the members Of the
Amalgamated Society for the Proven
ton of Work, Scoop had no place to
turn for a noble idea for this weeks
explosion, but Harry Stemple put
bug in his ear He wants 'squatting
contest" conducted by Scoop and The
Republican for the benefit Of the COM
munity in general, but let it be said
here and now there will be no auto
mobiles, suites Of furniture, jewelry or
other valuable prizes awarded.
Scoop agreed 10 sponsor such a con-
test provided Harry did not enter into
competition, for it would be a hard
matter for the judges to decide
whether or not he was squatting or
standing.
Therefore
Due to the fact that lots Of people
believe one can't squat on mountain
top; due also to the fact that Balti-
more has its fagpole sitters; st. Louis,
Cleveland and Los Angeles its en-
durance Aiers, Oakland might as well
have champion squatter.
Let Oakland show them that cham
pions are born as we'll as reared within
the area of the beautiful Allegheny
mountains of Western Maryland.
Many Entries Listed.
That the contest would begin on
Saturday, August "a, and continue
indefinitely, was decided by Scoop, the
boss editor, Archibaldson, Antiphlo-
gistine, Lizzie fish and Mary Ann
Small. the whole force, last night.
Suggestion was made that it be held
in q rocky field just outside Of town
where there are many stones on which
to comfortably squat, but it was
finally concluded that it be held on the
fence posts Of Sweeney's lot on Third
street.
The acknowledged localized chaW-
pions are expected to be the strongest
contenders for high honors, and they
have already entered the contest. They
as as follows:
East side of Second street, or The
Republicans green bench, H. c. SIN
cell, Neil Fraley and Reed Smouse.
Ed. Wallace, BUSY Hart and Bill
Sturgiss are tied for honors on the
north side Of Alder street; Ted Mason,
Andy Gender, Dave Walter and Bill
Eggers, for the west side Of Second
street; Carl Brown, Bob Wolfe and
Mike Davis are close contestants for
honors on the south side of Alder
street.
Ed. White is an easy winner on
north Third street as he has already
souatted for fifteen years or more,
Jim Painter can hardly be classed as
contestant as he can't stay squatted
in one place long enough. He was
heard to remark that "if entered, no
body else would have show. Let
some of these second-rate sitters quail
ify."
The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1929-08-15

Did you ever see Charlie Sprague
come to town when he didn't know at
least one new Scotch joke or have
something amusing to show you?
Well, neither did Scoop.

Judges Selected

The members of the Amalgamated
Society have been selected to be the
Judges in the contest as they will know
the difference between squatting and
sitting. "Squatting in a champion
ship contest is indeed an art" Slim
Shaw. president of the Amalgamites
said. "Anyone can sit, but it takes
lots of practice to squat properly. Did
YOU ever hear Of hen squatting :"
Practice periods in squatting are
now going forward daily. This is be-
ing done by playing the well-known
game Of squat-tag, so if Scoops read
ers see any peculiar actions being per-
formed on the streets Of Oakland, re-
member that squatting can be learned
properly only in public and not in
ones back yeard.
Enter the contest most any time.
Amateurs have just as good show as
The semi professionals. You may only
De a sitter now but anybody can learn
he art with little practice. Be a
eal squatter.

EXTRA WRONG FONTS
By Scoop

Unless you have been away from
your regular work for two weeks, you
won't be able to appreciate how hard
it is for Scoop to sit down and pound
out his weekly column. He has been
in Scout camp for that length OF
time where the routine is somewhat
different from that in a newspaper
office. But the boss editor said he must
get busy as his subscription list has
decreased nightly since his vacation
started.
\
And since Archibaldson announced
last week that this column would APP
pear regularly in this issue and there
after. I must have something to say
to keep up his reputation for integ-
rity, fidelity, accuracy, bombasticity
and whatnot, even if it is only flow
Of words that don't mean anything.
y s.
Antiphlogistine, Scoops brother,
who is really responsible for the truth
sale of a few weeks ago, is with us in
person and with his personality and
influential presence my mark ought to
be at least II for the weeks work.
