town. After reading this article
felt that I should write to you and
try to express my appreciation OF
your kindly comments. l have spoken
to a number of our people about this
particular issue of The Republican.
and they all seem to be well pleased
also found several other articles
of local interest among its columns
as we'll as general county news.
We are somewhat handicapped In
this end of the county by being SO
far away from the county seat, but
we are rather proud of our little town
and / am sure our citizens will rally
to the paper that will give us front
page story or an editorial comment
occasionally.
With best wishes to you personally
your staff and your good paper, 1 am
Very truly yours,
A. C. STANTON, Mayor.
Mayor Stanton has good reason tc
be proud of his town and the many
splendid people residing within its

fact that Grantsville is within the
confines of Garrett county, for it is
I indeed a clean town, progressive anc

TREE-PLANTING PROGRAM
IN MARYLAND PLANNED
State Forester Says there are
$4,000 Now Available

The Forestry Department is plan,
ming an intensive tree-planting pro-
gram for the spring, F. W. Besley,
State Forester, has announced.
There are 100000 trees available
at the State Forest Nursery, College
Park, and advance applications indi-
cate a greater demand for trees this
year than ever before, Mr.. Besley
said.
Variety of Species Needed
'"The diversity of planting condi-
tions, from sea level in Southern
Maryland to elevations of $500 feet
in the western part of the State, u
he explained, "calls for variety of
tree species.
"The department is meeting this
need by growing at the State nursery
a. dozen different species, suitable for
meeting any special condition, but the
great bulk of the planting stock avail
able consists of five species Of proven
worth.
"These are loblolly and shortleaf
pine, especially adapted for Eastern
Shore and Southern Maryland, red
and white pine and Norway spruce for
Central and Western Maryland.
Distributed at Low Cost
"Trees are distributed at cost to
landowners in the State at as low as
$3.50 per thousand for seedlings to
$40 per thousand for transplants. 1t
takes about a thousand trees to plant
an acre, and once planted very little
attention is required for ten years,
when the first thinning can be made
and often substantial revenue derived.
"Forest planting is the best solution
of the waste land problem. Farmers,
development companies, water COM
panies and other large landowners are
becoming interested and are starting
large forest planting projects"

HighwaymenStOp Walter Killius
On Mt. Lake Oakland Road

Walter Killius, Mt. Lake Park, was
held up on the Mt. Lake Park Oak
land road about 1890 o'clock Monday
evening as he was walking home. He
had reached a point just east of the
Weber turn or route 81, when two
men stepped from the woods and COM
manded him to halt. While one grab
bed him, the other thoroughly
searched him.
Not finding anything of value they
turned him loose and told him to be
on his way. On account of the dark
ness Killius could not obtain very
good description of the highwaymen
but their voices indicated that they
were of foreign birth. It will be re-
membered that Hugh Echard was
held up at about the same place some
monts ago.

BIRTHS THE PAST YEAR
EXCEED DEATHS BY 2lO
431 Births-221 Males and 21O
Females-Are Recorded, COun-
~, C%oficficion PnnOrfc

Four hundred and thirty-one births
were recorded in Garrett county dur
ing 1929, Miss Julia Rowan, county
statistician, has just announced. Of
this number 221 were males and 210
were females.
This number of births exceeds the
number of deaths in the county by
21O, the report of Miss Rowan shows,
S211 persons having succumbed during
the past year. Twins were born in
two instances and there were eleven
illegitimate births.
Importance of Registration
"There is hardly a relation of life,
social, legal or economic, in which
the evidence furnished by an accurate
registration Of births may not prove
to be of the greatest value" Miss
Rowan says. This is not only true
of the individual but also to the pub
lie at large.
at is not only an act of civiliza-
ton to register births, but also good
business, for they are frequently used
in many practical ways. If the peo-
pie realized the importance of birth
registration, good registration in all
the states would soon be an accom-
plished fact.
"Following are some of the reas-
ons: AS evidence to prove the age
and legitimacy of heirs; as proof OF
age to determine the validity of a con-
tract entered into by an alleged min
or; establishing age and proof of cit
izenship and descent in order to vote;
to establish the right of admission to
professions and many public offices;
as evidence of legal age to marry; to
prove claims of widows and orphans
under the widows and orphans pen
sion law.
"Other reasons are: To determine
liability of parents for debts of a
minor; as evidence in administration
of estates; settlement Of insurance
and pensions; to prove responsibility
of children for crimes and INSIDE
meanors and various other matters in
the criminal code; as evidence to de-
termine relationship of guardians and
wards; as proof of citizenship in order
to obtain passport; as evidence In
claims for exemption from or the
right to serve on juries or in the mill
tary service"

Grantsville Woman Granted Abb
sOlute Divorce.

Mrs. Christine Failinger Acker-
man, residing west of Grantsville on
the National Highway, has announced
that she was granted an absolute di-
vorce on December II, from her hus-
band, Charles w. Alderman, on the
grounds of cruel and barbarous treat
ment and desertion and non-support.
Mrs. Alderman is the daughter Of
Mrs. John Failinger, owner Of the
Sylvester Ryland farm located about
one mile west of Keyser's Ridge, on
the National Highway. Her marri-
age to Charles W. Alderman, World
War veteran and widower of Somerset
county, Pa, proved to be very I'M
happy, owing, it is alleged, to her
husbands shiftless manner of life.
He was employed as a railroad re-
pairman at the time of their marriage
and he took her to his home, which
was railroad boarding car. She tired
of this gypsy life and the scanty sup
port she was receiving from her hus-
band and returned to the farm home
of her mother.
He followed her but did not prove
to be of much use on the farm. AS
his mother-in-law objected to his
presence under her roof, he left his
spouse and his whereabouts is I'M
known to her and his Somerset rela-
tives. The last heard of him he was
working at the plumbing trade in
Pittsburgh, Pa.

foreign ministers of France and
Italy respectively at Geneva during
the last council meeting, but we're
broken off when PRIMER Mussolini
made his bellicose speeches on his
tour of the italian provinces.
With Italy's acceptance OF
Frances proposal to discontinue
laying down vessels temporarily, po-
litical quarters here expected that
conversations between M. de Beau
marchais, the French ambassador
to Italy, and Count Manzoni, the
italian ambassador to France, would
be instituted promptly.
Those conversations, it was be-
lieved, would pave the way to an
other meeting between BRAND and
Grandi at Geneva, when some prog
ress towards limitation of French
and Italian naval ornaments may
be hoped for.
If the two countries are willing
to go far enough in their limitation
discussions, there may be good pros
poets that the London naval treaty
of 1890, to which Great Britain, the
United States and Japan now are
signatories, may be extended to in
