of national politics is the most OBJ
jectionable. 1t is little wonder that
Mr.. Hoover, who maintains an open
mind in considering all proposed solu-
tons, should prefer present condi-
tons to those which would prevail
if the prohibition question should be
the football of politics in Congress.
No solution of the prohibition prob
lem has been presented by the Wick
ersham commission. Mr.. Hoover does
not pretend to offer solution. He
hopes solution will be found. In the
meantime he opposes foolish sugges-
tions and gives notice that he will en-
force the law with all the means at
his disposal.
In this position the President is
entitled to the support of the people
of the United States.

An Interesting Fact
MARYLAND CITIZENS AID
WASHINGTON AND LAFAYETTE

The early ppart of 1881 was an anX-
ious and critical time for the Ameri-
can colonies. 1t was during this per-
iod that Benedict Arnold, bitter foe OF
the American cause, sailed up the
James River, seized Richmond and
other points. Our soldiers were lilly
clad, underfed and had not been paid
for months. The credit of our gov
eminent was at low ebb, both at
home and abroad. But in these dark
days, as we'll as in other days to fol-
low, General Washington knew that
Maryland could be cunted on to
do her part and do it generously.
Early in the spring of 1881, Lafay-
cite, that French patriot, was station
ed in Maryland, at the head of the
Elk, where with the aid of Major
James McHenry, of Baltimore, Bal
timorc merchants were solicited to
furnish much-needed food and sup
plies for his men. He was not disap-
pointed. Congress at this time was
powerless and it was only by rely
ing on the generosity and patriotism
of the citizens that the American
army could be fed and clothed. Nc
higher tribute could be paid to ar
army THAI that paid by Lafayette in
a letter to his wife in which he said
Human nature has it's limits; no Eu-
ropean army would suffer the tenth
part of what the American suffer. II
takes citizens to support hunger
nakedness, toll and the total want OF
pay, which constitute the condition OF
our soldiers"
It was while Lafayette was sta
toned in Maryland that he was en-.
tertained in Baltimore at great ball
Some one asked him why he appeared
so sad, and he replied that he could
not help but think of his men who sc
badly needed clothes and supplies
This remark caused the ladies present
to volunteer their services and the
next day the assembly room was turn
ed into clothing mandatory.
For these and other acts of Mary.
lands citizenry Washington was duly
grateful and took occasion to say tc
Governor Lee that "the supplies
granted by the State are so liberal
that they remove any apprehension
of want,".possibly for the first time
that this condition existed.
We may well presume that it was
because of these supplies on behalf
of Maryland furnished the needy sol
diers that Washington was enabled
to make a junction with the French
feet and army in the Chesapeake anc
attack CORVALLIS at Yorktown anC

MT. LAKE PARK

Monday morning as the snow was
falling thick and fast we met Capt.
Bush Hardesty on our way to the
postofice when he remarked that per-
hap3 this was a "whipporwill snow"
We replied that we hoped it was, al
though we had no idea whatever
what he was talking about, not being
entirely weather-wise. By judicious in
quiry, however, we learned that when
the voice of that silent and mysteri-
Gus bird is heard in the land, the
SHOWS for the winter are over. Con-
sequently, no one need be surprised
to see US out en- the front porch before
sun-up with our head cooked on one
side in an attitude of intent listening
or watching the moon in its swift
course across the sky, for we will be
simply waiting for the voice of the
whipporwill.
Inquiry fails to reveal any action
on the part of the committee appoint
ed at the recent meeting held at the
Park in relation to the change in the
form Of government. We are advised
that individual conferences have been
held, at which various propositions
have been discussed, but no official
meeting has been held. There is a
general feeling that for the sake OF
harmony and the good of the commun-
ity some definite action should be TAX
en- and the controversy settled one
way or the other, and for all time.
r. Street Supervisor Echard gave the
streets in the main part of the Park
their first massage for the year last
week. Quite an improvement was
noted.
John A. Clark, Jr., summer resi-
dent of the Park, is recovering at his
home in Pittston, Pa, from an opera
ton performed at hospital in Phila-
delphia to relieve an injury to his
spine caused by a recent fall on the
ice. He is getting along as we'll as
can be expected.
Word was received at the Park one
day last week of the death of George
Morgan at his home in Fairmont. Mr.
Morgan was brother of Frank Nor
gan of Grafton and the Park.
Mrs. Allie Raymond has returned
from brief visit to friends in Fair
mont. While there she was a guest
of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred. c. Fleming.
/ Union services are being conducted
at Crellin by Rev. S. A. LESSEE, pas
tor of the U. B. church at Loeb Lynn
and Rev. Rupert, of Crellin.
J. H. Reinhardt was a recent Wis
itor to New York City.
Superintendent Frank E. Baker was
in the Park day or two recently, 60
ing from here to Annapolis, where
he was joined by DR.. W. W. Davis
and other Park Association friends
at conference with the Garrett coun-
ty delegation in the State Legisla'
ture.
A valentine social will be held in
the Aid Hall, Loeb Lynn, on Friday
evening, the 18th, at 7:45. A short
program will be rendered by the

| A near serious accident occurred on
Savage Mountain, just west of Frost
burg, a day or two ago, when the au-
tomobile driven by Rev. LESSEE, in
which he and his family were motor
ing east, suddenly skidded, turning
completely round and roster against
a roadside fence. While the occupants
of the car suffered no injury, the cal
was somewhat damaged.
