UNIDENTIFIED WOMAN is
FOUND INJURED ON ROAD
Is Picked Up Near Keyser's
Ridge and Taken to FrOstburg

An unidentified young woman,
about 30 years old, was found uncon-
scious about 9 o'clock last night, along
the National Highway a short dis
lance west Of Keyser's Ridge. The
woman, who said she was struck by
car, was taken to the Miners hos
pital at Frostburg, where efforts to
establish her identity were unsuccess-
full.
The young woman is believed to be
a native of Switzerland. She was
semi-conscious last night at the hos
pital and was apparently suffering
from shock and bruises. Her condi-
ton is not regarded as serious by DR..
j. c. Cobey, the attending physician.
Two men in a car stopped at the
Edwards Garage in Grantsville a
short time before the young woman
was found along the road. The men
said they saw her lying along the
road, but did not stop. Harry burst,
of Grantsville, who was driving to-
ward Addison, Pa, stopped and picked
up the young woman. She was taken
to the National Hotel at Grantsville
and later was removed to the Frost
burg hospital.
1t is believed the young woman was
seeking work at farm along the
highway. She was seen walking
through Grantsville, toward Keyser's
Ridge, earlier in the evening. She
was poorly dressed and had no letters
or other means of identification on
her clothing.

The girl was attacked near her home,
about three miles from the Pennsyl-
vania line, south of Addison, Pa.
The girl was walking along dirt
road, which connects with the Ma
tional Highway, when she was ac-
costed by young man. She said the
stranger wore a derby hat and had a
small mustache. After attacking the

capped in car. The girl returned

Glenn Adams, of the Somerset SUBJ
station, conducted preliminary in
vestigation and notified Garrett

TO HOLD COOKING SCHOOL
HERE OCTOBER 1, 2, AND 3
Miss Betty Harper To Be In
Charge-AdmissiOn Free

Oakland's first large electric cook
ing school will be held Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, October 1, 2,
and 8 in the Naylor Building, it has
just been announced. Hundreds of
women in Oakland and vicinity will
be interested in this announcement of
what promises to be one of the most
interesting affairs ever conducted here
for the sole benefit of housewives.
The Hotpoint electric range will be
used in this school for all cooking
demonstrations.
Miss Betty Harper, home economist
of the Home Service department of
the Monongahela West Penn Public
Service Company, will be in charge of
the school, admission to all sessions
of which will be free. fShe will be as
sisted by Mrs. Ethel Cunningham,
Home Service representative of the
same company. Both have had wide
range of experience in home econom-
les work and are especially familiar
with the electric range and electric
cooking, having had special exper-
fence and instruction in this work.
The cooking school is expected to
be most interesting. A program has
been prepared for each day of the
school and many new cakes, pies and
other good things to eat will be pre-
pared electrically. The programs,
printed for each day of the school, tell
in detail how each dish is prepared,
enabling those present at the school
to more closely follow the instructor.
Oakland has never had a large
cooking school before, but house
wives here are to be given the same
instruction in the electric cooking
school as in the metropolitan centers.
Every point will be thoroughly ex-
planned so that some real worthwhile
cooking advice may be gathered by
the hundreds who are expected to be
present.

Fourteenth AnnualFair Brought
to Close on Friday

The Fourteenth Annual Garrett
County fair closed last Friday with
the celebration of Farmers Day. A
fairly large number attended through
out the day and evening, inspecting
the exhibits and strolling along the
midway of the American Exposition
shows.
The attendance was up to standard
on the second day Of the Fair, School
Day, when parade was held and
other features listed on the program,
but only a few were present through
out the other three days.
Weather conditions were better
than they have been for some years,
Mr.. H. M. Speicher, general manager,
stated, and exhibits in several depart
ments were above the average. The
drought cut heavily in the production
of grains, potatoes, corn, ETC., but the
premiums on exhibits will amount to
approximately $700, it was estimated.
Very few special premiums by local
people were offered this year, and it
is thought this may have resulted in
fewer people exhibiting. The abolish
ment of parades for the other three
days of the fair is also thought to
have cut the attendance of the farm
ers of the county.
The awards are listed on pages 2
and 8 in today's Republican.

WILL HOLD POTATO SHOW
HERE OCTOBER "a and Is
Fifty-eight Potato Club Mem
bers Will Exhibit Products
Open Class For Farmers.

That a countrywide potato show,
for the purpose of displaying potatoes
grown by members of potato clubs and
also by any farmer in the county,
would be held in Oakland on October
"a and rs, was announced yesterday
by John H. Carter, County Agent.
There are at present three potato
clubs in Garrett county consisting of
So members. Two two-year clubs are
at Accident and Friendsville and one
one-year club at Oakland. Twenty
members of two clubs are being spon-
sored by the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road and the Oakland Rotary Club,
and the others are voluntary men,
bers.
Certified seed to the twenty men,
bers was furnished by the two organ
izations to be planted on a measured
plot of ground and records kept of
the cost of production, yield, etc. The
other members bought their seed but
will be eligible to compete for the
prizes which are to be awarded at the
conclusion of the potato show.
There will be an open class for ev-
erybody who desires to exhibit, Mr..
Carter stated. It was felt that potato
show was necessary as very few po-
tatoes had matured at the time of the
agricultural fair. The fair was held
earlier than usual this year, and the
drought also checked the growth of
the potatoes to a considerable extent,
it was pointed out.
During the two days Of the exhibit,
a question box will be placed where
anyone desiring to do so may ask
questions for discussion on potato
problems.
A specialist from the University of
Maryland Extension service will dis
cuss the questions that may be asked.
The various prizes and exhibit
classes will be announced later in The
Republican by Mr.. Carter.
Prizes will be offered in both the
one and two-year clubs.

OAKLAND IS WITHOUT ANY
WESTERN UNION SERVICE
B. & o. Telegraph Office Closed
Last Saturday Afternoon

No arrangements have been made
to take care of Western Union tele-
grams, since the closing of the Balti-
more and Ohio telegraph Office last
Saturday afternoon at a o'clock, at
the Oakland station.
Oakland has not been without tele-
graph service since about 1852 when
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad
reached here, and steps are being ia
ken by the business men of Oakland
whereby a complaint will be regis
tered with the Interstate Commerce
Commission.
Mr.. J. R. Murphy, who has been
operator at Oakland for a number of
years, has been transferred to Terra
Alta, where he works the turn from
p. m. until IL midnight.
The only way at present for Oak
land to receive kilograms is by tele-
phone from Cumberland, and the only
way people can send them is either
to telephone them to Cumberland, or
go to Mt. Lake Park, a distance of
about 21s miles, or to Terra Alta, W.
Va, a distance of ten miles. Tele-
phone charges are 80 cents extra.
The office at Oakland was closed
when the electric signaling system of
the Baltimore and Ohio railroad went
into effect.

will be a number of concessions and
amusements along the thoroughfare.
A dance is being planned, and will be
held in Fraley's hall. Some valuable
articles will be given away on that
evening, it was also announced. Just
what the articles will be will be an
nounced following another meeting of
the committees on Thursday evening.

Knights of Pythias lodge. Last year
it was turned over to the Fire depart
ment, and this year the Boys Band
organization was included in order
that uniforms might be purchased for
the members and a surplus formed to

of the ball good part of the time
but the work of the Kitzmiller goal
keeper kept the score down by stop
ping numerous attempts of his OPP
ponents to kick the ball between the
uprights.
The evening was given over to a
street dance, held in the center of the
town, and which attracted large
number of people.
The celebration was held under the
auspices of the Kitzmiller Fire de-
partment and the Mayor and Town
Council of Kitzmiller, with Oakland
