FIRE DESTROYS WAINCOLD|
GARAGE BUILDING FRIDAY
Aided By Strong West Wind,
Flames Swept Interior and I'm
peril Four Other Buildings
FIREMEN FIGHT S HOURS

Fire, combined with an unusually
strong wind from the west, completely
destroyed the Waingold garage, a
two-story tile and brick building on
Liberty street. and endangered sew
eral other nearby structures at one
o'clock last Friday morning.
The interior of the building was a
mass of flames when the fire was
discovered and it was not until after
an hours battle that Oakland firemen
had the blaze under control. Firemen
did not leave the scene until after
five hours of hard fighting.
A dense smoke spread over por-
ton of the town, due to the brisk
wind, and the William-James Hotel,
the NuWay Laundry, the Liberty
Cash Feed store and the warehouse
of A. D. Naylor & Co., as we'll as a
barn on the Waingold property were
threatened, the barn, warehouse and
feed store being ablaze several times
during the progress of the fire.
The building burned was valued at
$4,000. Three of the six automobiles
in it at the time of the fire were
driven to safety, but the other three
were consumed, along with carload
of old tires, machine shop tools and
accessories belonging to S.. H. Sha-
han, who had the building under lease.
Both trucks of the Oakland fire de-
partment, using five lines of hose,
were unable to make much Roadway
against the flames, and when the side
walls fell the flames were blown by
the wind for more than hundred
feet. The fire department of Terra
Alta, West Va, arrived to assist the
local fremen, having been notified of
the danger menacing adjacent prop
erty, but the flames were under con-
troll when they arrived here. Their
coming, however, was appreciated by
Oakland residents.
The building was owned by Vain
gold, and the loss is partly covered
by insurance.
The original building was erected
several years ago and was owned by
A. R. Martin. An explosion of gaso-
line partly
line caused its partial destruction and
it was rebuilt by Mr.. Martin, who
afterwards sold it. to Mr.. Waingold.
Fire again wrecked it and it was re-
built the second time. Friday morn
ing's fire was the third visitation and
caused it's complete destruction.

MUCH INTEREST SHOWN In

Much interest is being shown in the
5Oth anniversary Roll Call of the
American Red Cross this year, accord

man, and although only few of The
reports are in there is a possibility
that the quota for the county will be

In no year of the fifty years in

public received such great emphasis
and support as in the year of the

Survey of Prices at Local Stores
Indicates Reduction on Prac-
tically Every Item

Thanksgiving dinners this year will
cost less than at any time since be-
fore the World War, according to in
formation obtained from various mer-
chants of Oakland.
From soup to nuts there has been
a substantial decrease in the cost of
food and it is estimated that din
ner may be prepared half as cheaply
as in 1918.
With a bountiful yield of crops,
practically every product of the farm
is being offered at low prices and
canned goods is off at least rs per
cent from last year, it is estimated.
Although there is no definite price
yet for turkeys, the merchants feel
that there won't be much of a
change from last years figures which
were 10 to 20 cents per pound on foot
and from 80 cents to 35 cents for the
dressed birds.
Chickens were priced 20 cents alive
and from 81 cents to 80 cents dressed

Shot Fired By Companion

Lawrence Wiley, % years old, en-
ployed on the Fred. P. Miller farm at

MT. LAKE PARK MAYBECOME CENTER

Formation of Country Club AL
most a Certainty

Judging from the progress being
made on the subscription petition for
stock in the proposed Oakland Coun-
try Club, the formation of an organ
ization and the erection of golf
course along Route 81 seem almost a
certainty, according to those inter-
ested in the movement.
Practically five thousand dollars
has been subscribed in Oakland, Kitz-
miller, Crellin and surrounding towns
and as soon as the site for the country
club is decided upon, work will begin
on the course so that it will be in
condition for summer residents and
tourists as we'll as the townspeople
next spring.
A number of Oakland residents are
actively interested in the organiza-

DAVID BECKMAN COMMITS
SUICIDE ALONG HIGHWAY
Body Found Early Monday By
Paul Shore; Is Fourth Victim
in County in Recent Months
HAD BEEN DEAD HOURS

David Beckman, % years old,
son of Wayman Beckman, of the
Deer Park community, was
found dead at $3.50 o'clock Mon
day morning at the intersection
of dirt road leading to the Har-
vey farm and the cement road
between Sand Flat and Deer
Park. He came to his death from
self-inficted bullet wound thru
his body, Garrett county author
tiles announced late Monday ev-
ening.
Beckman's body was found lying
in front of his automobile with 49,
calibre pistol near his lifeless hand
by Paul Shore, of Kingwood, w. Va.
He had been dead several hours when
the body was discovered.
The bullet which ended young Beck
mans life had been fired through his
body from beneath his left shoulder,
and taking a downward course missed
his heart but penetrated one of his
kidneys and came out on his right
side above his hip, investigating doc
tors stated.
When Shore reported the finding of
the body to local officers he said that
he had seen the body as he drove by
on his way to Kitzmiller but did not
stop, believing that the man was in
toxicated. Returning about an hour
later he noticed that the body was
still there. He stopped and discovered
that the man had been shot. Shores
Immediately came to Oakland and no.
titled Chief of Police B. B. Nethkin
and an investigation followed by w.
w. Dawson, States Attorney, and
Sheriff Haenftling.
Officers were told that Beckman had
attended church at Sand Flat Sunday
night in company with Bessie Har-
vey, of Deer Park. Beckman was in
toxicated, officers said, and the girl
refused to ride home with him in his
car. She telephoned her employer,
Charles Ashby, who went out to the
church and took her home. Beck
man, it is said, became incensed and
said he would secure a gun and kill
both the girl and himself, the officers
were told.
It is believed that Beckman OBJ
tanned the revolver shortly afterward
and killed himself early ON Monday
morning. The gun was the property
of Dewey Harvey, for whom Beckman
worked.
An autopsy was performed by Drs.
N. 1. Broadwater and Geo. E. Clarke,
following which authorities issued a
certificate that the man came to his
death by a self-inflicted wound.
Funeral services were held Tues
day afternoon at Pleasant Valley with
interment in the cemetery there. He
is survived by his father, Wayman
Beckman and two brothers, his mother
having died several years ago.
This is the fourth suicide in the
county in recent months.

for the counties of Fayette anc
received here.
These mountain counties have a
similar agricultural problem and
topography, Mr.. Frame stated, End
form unit with Mt. Lake Park as
natural center.
Providing that DR.. Symons, direc-
tor Of Extension work, University of
Maryland, College Park, and DR.. Nc
Dowell, of State College, Pennsyl-
vania, will cooperate, Mr.. Frame will
agree to furnish extension workers to
help build and put on program at
Mt. Lake Park to a total salary
amount of three thousand dollars. He
will also center at the Park the con-
ference and convention activities of
the extension service for this large
area of West Virginia, before men,
toned.
Mr.. Frame expresses himself as
interested in this project not as a
tempory idea for the year, but as the
nucleus around which shall be built a
fifty year program of development,
and with such in mind feels that the
ownership of Mt. Lake Park should
be vested in the State of Maryland
since the Park is within the bounds
of that State.
He strongly advises the wisdom of
its purchase by the State. as a state
park and its management be turned
over to the University of Maryland
to be handled through its extension
service, with which the West Virginia
extension office and the Pennsylvania
extension office should cooperate in
the development and financing.
He advocated the beginning of a
fifty year program of development in
Rural Life with Mt. Lake Park serv-
ing as a great institutionalized center
for the whole Allegheny Tablelend
area.
DR.. T. B. Symons has recently held
a conference of extension workers on
the idea of developing great "Adult
Education" program. Around this
idea will probably center much of the
extension work of the State of Mary
land.
Proposed Programs
That there would be clear idea of
what this development would COM
prise and the type of program that
might develop here, Mr.. Frame stated
that the typical extension program
at these centers is built up chiefly as
follows:
Extension conferences with leaders
from State and county; demonstra-
ton schools by college experts on
animal husbandry, soils and crops,
home making, poultry husbandry,
fruit growing; farmers clubs, county
and state gatherings; farm women's
clubs; fourth clubs of State and
county gatherings centering their
four-fold development work of head,
hand, heart and health, or the intel
lectual, skill in crafts, religion, and
development of body.
There would also be nature study
clubs, annual farmers jubilee, COM
munity sings, music festivals, pag-
eants, etc.
That there would be a committee
appointed to see DR.. Symons to ask
his support to help carry this pro-
gram for Western Maryland, with the
thought that an appropriation to buy
the Park for a State Park would be
asked at the next legislature, was
said.
That the Extension service of
Pennsylvania would also be asked to
cooperate, was also mentioned. The
Mt. Lake Park Association will offer
the use of their buildings to any
satisfactory committee or operating
