Hid $4,000 Policy
in Telephone Book

Telephone directories, as everyone
knows who uses the telephone, and
most people do, are the source of
much valuable information. Direc-
tories contain important facts on how
to use the telephone, what to do in
emergencies necessitating calling the
fireman, the policeman or the ambu-
lance, how to make out-of-town calls,
how to report telephones out Of or.
der and many other things of use
full nature.
! But the telephone directory is GER
tainly not satisfactory substitute
for a safe-deposit box. Just recently
( a case was reported to telephone Of.
fcials where directory supervisor
happened to see a recovered book
which bulged larger than he thought
the issue warranted. His curiosity
being aroused, he opened the direc.
tory and discovered a folder which
was found to be a life insurance
policy for $4,000.
Doing a little sleuthing, the tele-
phone man discovered the address of
the house from which the directory
had been collected and on going there
found that the policy had been issued
to a son of the telephone subscriber
The son had died few weeks pre-
viously and his parents, it turned out
had known nothing Of the policy, &c
that its return was very much like a
gift of $4,000.

Roadside Development

hOduS1uc OCNClOpAuCut
With the coming of improved high
ways and the stimulation to home i'm
provement which this has brought
about, there has been demand for
Improvement in the altogether too
prevalent unkept condition of the pub
lie roadside. Some states are giving
special attention to this problem, and
have well organized departments for
looking after the project.
Maryland has an excellent system
of roads and while it is difficult to de-
velop and maintain adequate high
ways to take care of the heavy traffic,
the matter of improving the appear
ance of the roadsides should not be
neglected. All forward looking citi-
zens should be interested in this sub
ject, and pressure should be brought
to bear on the legislators to induce
them to undertake this important i'm
provement.

AS The Republican passes another mile
stone and begins its ffty-fourth year of con-
tinuous existence, it continues to lead the
field in Garrett county in every respect.
The Republican is the oldest business in
stitution in Garrett County. 1t enjoys the
largest circulation of any paper in Garrett
county and is being read by more people
each week because they know where to find
the most interesting and truthful accounts
of events and all the real news of the coun-
ty.
The Republican contains the following
features which make it the most widely read
newspaper in this section: All the real news
we'll written and truthful; Beyond the
County," column of events transporting in
other parts of the world; county cores
pondence from every section of the county;
personal and local notes of interest; inter-
esting facts concerning Maryland, written
by a local author; SIN Days of DID, an arti-
Gle reviewing events occurring locally forty
and twenty years ago; The Homemakers
Corner, devoted to the interests of the wo-
men of the county written by the local dem
onstration agent; the County Agents col
umn on local and state events of Importance
agriculturally; Scoops Column, liable to
contain anything; Politics in Review, from
the Baltimore Observer; advertisements of
local merchants; legal notices of sale, etc.,
authorized under the terms of the law and
by contracts between parties, and paid local
notices that bring results.
With all this array of interesting data at
hand, it is no wonder that each succeeding
week sees the names of new subscribers ad-
ded to the list of readers and it is the ear
nest desire and endeavor of The Republican
staff that the paper will contiue to grow in
interest so that it may be of still greater
service to the community throughout its
6fty-fourth year and those that are to fol-
low.

 "One has to have a fairly good knowledge of administration of an institution of this kind in order to judge it impartially. In the first place, 1t receives as its residents. q certain type of boys. They come from all parts of the sttae, from all kinds of environment, of varying mentality, wholly lacking in oppor- tunlty for q decent start in life and with little moral background.

It is the former class that gives the trouble. and this group often develops leadership which has q very unfortunate influ- encc on other boys. It carries with 1t a spirit of unrest and uncasiness.

It is probable that some changes can be made and this board will authorize such changes so that a more direct super vision will be obtained in the feed ing of the boys through the appoint mcnt of q steward, whose only business will be to look after their welfare. so far as food is concerned, The testimony generally does not sustain the charges Of poor food.
 Our board has given very mi mute consideration to the charges of immortality on the part of employees with the boys. Two specific instances of that nature were particularly called to our attention by Mir. Had ley. secretary Of the department of public welfare. After very search ing and exhaustive investigation these charges are proven to be without foundation and fact ana undoubtedly are the Pigments of dis ordered imaginations and unclean minds.
 Tn concluding we submit that while we have not gone into the details of this report, our investiga- tion has nevertheless covered thor oughly and completely all charges. We have lived with an intimate knowledge of the school for some years and feel that we arc in a posi- ton to honestly and fairly weigh the charges preferred. They originated with an Cmploye of this institution who at present has been relieved from duty. His information came from the stories of the boys them selves. Instead of bringing the mat ter to the attention of his superior. or the trustees themselves, he stole out in darkness of night and at the hour of midnight knocked upon the door of Mir Hadlcy in Hartford. and told him that the matter so preyed upon his mind that he could no longer sleep.

STRONG CHARACTER AND STURDY WILL
 RESULT OF THRIFT
By S. W. sTRAUs, President American Society for Thrift


 American Society for Thrift
 "The first and best victory is to conquer self.' said Plato "To be conquered by self is. of all things. the most shameful and vile"
 The first step in thrift is ''to conquer self" Until this self-con- quest has been made we will never change our habits for the better.
 We may realize the folly of wastefulness and extravaganza. We may wish that we might get out of the way of always being behind fi- nancially. We may realize In the honesty of our own hearts that we are doing ourselves a grave injus- tice by the neglect of our physical we'll being. We may know that we are allowing golden opportunities for self-improvement and advance ment to be neglected. We may have a clear viewpoint of all of these attitudes But until we apply the Platonian test to our rules on con duet, we are conquered by self' which is "of all things, the most shameful and vile"
 Perhaps we have not thought all the way through these personal problems. In neglecting to save money or practice other phases of thrift, we have not realized, pos sibly, the great harm being done to ourselves mentally and spirit ually We have thought only of the material phases.
 It is we'll for us in this fast and fascinating era to listen across the ages to the voice of Plato, remind ing us of the glory of victory over self and the shame of a conquest won by our own follies.
 Those who practice thrift may rest assured that not all the values aceruing to them can be measured in terms of dollars. They may find inspiration in the concept that they are gaining what is more priceless than gold-a strong character, a sturdy will.
