COUNTY WIDE DEBATE TO
BE HELD AMONG SCHOOLS
Will Take Place of Annual
Countrywide Defamation
Boys and Girls Both Eligible

That a countrywide debating con-
test would be held this year instead
of the countrywide defamation con-
test, among the high schools of the
county, was announced yesterday by
F. E. Rathbun, county superintendent.
The cashiers of The Garrett Nation
al Bank and The First National Bank
of Oakland who sponsored the decla-
nation contest last year and the
separate boys and girls contests of
the years previous, will also sponsor
the countrywide debate, it was said.
The date and place Of rendering the
program has not been decided upon
but will be within the next few days.
The topic to be debated will be picked
from suggestions mailed to the super
intendent from the High school princi-
pals.
The affirmative and negative teams
will be picked from the northern and
southern sections of the county, ac-
cording to present plans, each team
having three members, one from each
school. The northern section will be
composed of Friendsville, Grantsville
and Accident, while the southern sec
ton will include Kitzmiller, Kempton
and Oakland. The prize will be di-
vided among the winning schools.
The debate is being sponsored by
Delbert Davis, cashier of The First
National Bank, Oakland, and G. A.
Fraley, cashier of The Garrett Nat
ional Bank, Oakland, and each are
offering $25 for the prize-winners.
Preliminary debates will probably
be held in each school to determine
who the representative shall be. The
contest will be open to both boys and
girls, it was stated.

DISTRICT FORESTER TALKS
AT CIVIC CLUB MEETING
Discusses Development and the
Work of Forestry Department

The development of the State De-
partment of Forestry and the work
of that department was discussed by
H. C. Buckingham, district forester,
at special meeting Of the Oakland
Civic Club held Tuesday afternoon at
the home of Miss Lottie M. Loar on
Second street. Besides members of
the Civic Club, students in the biology
department of Oakland High School
were also present and were quite ain
terested in the address made by Mr..
Buckingham.
The speaker brought out the fact
that in other parts of Maryland as
well as in other states, organizations
such as Women's Clubs, Boy Scouts,
D. A. R., high school groups, mems
service clubs, etc., have done much
in promoting forestry by roadside
planting, purchase of waste land for
state forestry management and pro-
lection, slope planting and reforesta-
ton of vacant areas.
Of these suggestions slope plant
ing along the nearby highways and
reforesting vacant areas on the Her
rington Manor State forest seer'ed
the most feasible undertakings for the
Oakland Civic Club.
Estate forests, properly managed
and protected, mean tradey industry
and prosperity" he said. "The
amount of timber cut from our for
ests at the present time is greater
than the annual growth, which leads
to a state of wood poverty. Under
proper protection andmanagementour
forests and waste lands would pro-
duce as much timber as we now use.
"Of the 100000 acres of woodland
in Garrett, Allegany, Washington and
Frederick counties, 100000 acres are
idle and unproductive, but these lands
are sufficient to fill our timber needs
if all were fully productive. The
forest is a renewable resource.
idle lands may be purchased at
low cost, put under constructive man
agement and made to more than pay
their way. State forests provide tim
Der reserves for future needs, wa
tershed protection, furnish a natural
home for game and wildlife and con-
stitute a great recreational area for
the people of the State.'

were three of number of other stills

Local Gas Company Not Affili-
ated With New Corporation

Officials of the Columbia Gas &
Electric Corporation stated today that
this cooperation and its subsidiary
companies are not financially inter-
ested or affiliated in any manner in
the formation of the Duquesne Gas
Corporation, which was recently an
nounced. AS a matter Of fact, the
only relationship between the prop
critics is by contracts by which certain
properties to be acquired by the new
ly formed company are supplying
some natural gas to one or two SUBJ

THREE FIRES in AS MANY
DAYS ALARM PEOPLE HERE
DixOn's Cottage on Deep Creek
DestrOyed-Thieves Set Fire
to Mrs. Offutt's Home
THIRD DWELLING BURNS

Authorities yesterday morning re-
doubled their efforts to discover the
cause of the three fires here within
three days, all of which are thought
to have been of incendiary origin.
None of the dwellings were occupied
at the time. The last one to be re-
ported was the cottage belonging to
Lawrence K. Dixon, Oakland merch-
ant, situated on the banks of Deep
Greek Lake, about nine miles north
of Oakland, which burned to the
ground about 8 o'clock Wednesday
morning. The house and personal
property were valued at about $4,000,
at least half of which is covered by in
surance
Mrs. Offutt's Home
Fire Sunday afternoon about $50
o'clock at the summer home of Mrs.
Nanienne T. Offutt, at the north edge
of town, was extinguished by the
Oakland Volunteer Fire department
before much damage had been done.
A lounge in the reception room on the
first floor was consumed by flames
and a bed and bedclothing in room
upstairs, in the rear part of the build
ing were also destroyed.
Mrs. Offutt and her daughter Nell,
who had been in the house an hour
previous to the fire, had discovered
quite bit of wearing apparel MISS
ing. A number of other articles were
brought out which they intended re-
turning for later, but after the fire
these articles were also missing. The
personal property was later dis
covered in small outbuilding on the
property, where it is supposed the
thief had hid them.
Another Dwelling Burns
The third fire occurred on Monday
evening about 1915 o'clock when the
building owned by D. Edward Offutt,
and until recently occupied by Alfonso
Borelli, at the west edge of town, was
almost entirely consumed. The fire
was extinguished by the Volunteer
department after laying hose line to
the Little Youghiogheny river, near
by.
The Dixon property which was con-
sumed early yesterday morning had
been occupied until Tuesday by
Thomas Flanagan, when he returned
to Oakland, but there had been no
fire in the building for several days.
Tuesday night was the first time
the house had been vacant for ten
months, it was stated. The fire was
discovered by Mr.. Bowman who lives
nearby, who notified Mr.. Bittinger,
State road man, but the flames were
already coming out of the windows.
Footprints Discovered
There were several footprints no.
ticed about the building, and the door
to the engine room near the building,
usually kept locked, was open.
Tracks were also discovered about
Mrs. Offutt's property and it was sup
posed that the thieves who made away
with the personal articles, set fire to
the house in order to blot out all trace
of the robbery. The fire in the Offutt
house was set in two rooms, which
were in different parts of the building.
The State Fire Marshall is being
sent for by George Kerins, fire chief,
who is expected to be here and make
a complete investigation. Thus far
county authorities have made no
arrests.
