MT. LAKE PARK

Not because of what we have said
but perhaps in spite of it, concrete
suggestion has been made by c. P.
Martin looking to the advertising of
Mountain Lake Park. AS you will
likely remember this has been a
favorite topic in this column, and it
now appears that all that remains to
be done is the expenditure of little
energy and time on behalf of the
merchants and others interested in
building up the Park. Mr.. Martin re-
solved himself into a committee of one
to hunt for the most available site for
the placing of such an advertisement,
and found it. What is more, he has
secured a permit from the land owner
to place such an advertisement just at
the end of the new bridge across the
river at German, at point where it
must meet the eye of every motorist
passing over the Northwestern. 1t
would seem the part of wisdom and
good business to raise the necessary
funds and place this advertisement
at the earliest possible moment so
that when the new roads are COM
pleted, this section will get its fair
share of the tourist trade.
Following on the heels of the Balti-
more Conference Epworth League,
which closed last Sunday, the Summer
School of Ministerial Training, Pitts
burgh Area, began its ninth annual
session Monday afternoon. 1t will
continue until August 7.
The success of the lecture courses is
assured when it is noted that such
eminent theological teachers as DR..
Oscar Thomas Olson, Prof. Lindsay
B. Longacre and Bishop Francis
Wesley Warne are in charge. On
Wednesday Bishop Thoburn delivered
an address to an appreciative audi
ence. The registration on yesterday
was 76. This number will be aug
mented by last-of-the week arrivals.
Interlocking with the above meet
ing, the Interdenominational Summer
School of Missions will begin it's meet
ings on the 3rd of August and con-
tinue until the 9Th. The chairman is
Mrs. B. H. Sincell, Oakland, while the
secretary is Miss Emma Hamill, of the
Park.
Word has been received of the death
of Mr.. Lawson L. Schooley, which oc-
CURED last week at his home in Fair
mont. Mr.. Schooley was native of
Garrett county, the son of the late
Mr.. and Mrs. Mahlon Schooley. His
father died some two years ago.
Mr.. Schooley has long been a resi-
dent of Fairmont, where he was en-
ployed as an expert meat cutter. He
was a popular and highly respected
citizen of his adopted city. lnterment
was made at Clarksburg.
t There are but few cottages on the
Park unoccupied, while the general
business depression seems to have les
'sened the number of tourist guests at
the hotels and eating places. This
was to be expected, although the hot,
dry summer, which seems likely to ex-
tend into August, may somewhat i'm
prove this condition.
Mr.. Marvin Harrison, who has
been in Romney, w. Va, for the past
year with his father, who continues
very ill, visited friends in the Park
and Loeb Lynn on Wednesday.
Mr.. E. R. Parker, who has been in
New York City for the past ten days
on business connected with his pub
fishing business, has returned.
Mr.. and Mrs. Roy w. Naylor, of
Wheeling, were the guests this week
of Mr.. and Mrs. MacClelIand Clayton.
Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel WEIGH and
sons, who are now located in Akron,
Ohio, are the guests of Mrs. Chance
at Hamilton Hall. II will be recalled
that a number of years ago Mr.. WEIGH
was engaged in business at the Park,
being located in the Hayden property,
now occupied as a Pentecostal church.
The lawns and flowers, which gave
great promise earlier in the season,
are showing the effect Of the hot
weather and lack of rain. While this
is true, yet from reports received
from those from other sections of the
country, the heavy dews and fogs have
kept Garrett county in better condi-
ton than most of the other communi-
ties. At that it is estimated that crop
production will be cut at least fifty
per cent.
Notices have been posted concerning
the wasteful use of water during the
present drought. With proper conser-
walton, the Park will not experience
dangerous shortage. But we will have
to be careful. Other communities are
taking due precaution.
