One of the reasons for the
trip to New England will be the
final block of the match between
the Washington All-Stars and the
Connecticut Blue Ribbons, in
which the Yanks hold a 79-pin
lead.
But the main drawing card will
be the Genlot's Eastern States
Duckpin Sweepstakes on Sunday.
April IL.
This event is regarded as Sec
ond in Importance only to the
q. s. Sweepstakes held here last
January.
AS the entry will be only $25
and the grand prize in the neigh
borhood of $500, all those who
rolled in the January classic are
looked upon as sure participants.

Juniors Will Roll
Three Juniors, Jack Wolsten-

some cash in the Sweepstakes.
Jack Whalen, winner Of the Jan

tender, while Brad Mandley, who
finished three pins behind him,
is another chap who must be
beaten by the winner. The other

THE EVAN JONES COAL MINE

From an operating standpoint the Evan Jones Coal Company continues to hold the spotlight Its president Oscar Anderson, who is today visitor in the city, is pioneer in the field here having followed the operation of that splendid organization since the inception some years ago. The amount of coal which his mine is capa be of producing destined to be limited only by the demand of industry in Alaska and elsewhere. His working years with the company has been spent in nt mate contact with production and it's problems and this alone is guarantee of the organizations future and the leadership it has always enjoyed reflected in the n creasing demand for Evan Jones Coal. @s.t:~ ''.,
 And the present outlook for market requirements gives every indication of it's having exceptional possib ites shown in the many recent shipments of coal to all points of the Territory.

INSPECTION STICKERS-

In this annual Save-a-Life cam
paign conducted by the State of Mary
land, what does your inspection stick
er on your windshield mean to you?
Does it mean that your car is in good
condition, OF does it mean that you
have pulled one over" on the State,
on your neighbor and on yourself?
The campaign was instituted to
lower the accident death rate, automo-
bile accidents and damage to prop
erty.
In obtaining your sticker when your
automobile is not in condition to be
passed, you have helped to defeat the
purpose of the examination
A local garage inspector refused to
o. k. car until some brakes were adj
justed. The owner took the car away
and in ten minutes the garage man
saw the same vehicle-with sticker
on it. Somebody else, not so partic-
ular, had passed the car, and the tenn
porary expense of having the brakes
adjusted was avoided by the owner.
The car is still menace to people,
a potential carrier of serious injury
or death, yet it carries State zap
proval" on it's windshield.
The purpose for which the CAM
paign was instituted is all right, but
what good does it do if the incident
just cited is general practice?

THANKSGIVING

An instrument has lately been in
vented by Paul Humphrey MacNeil,
an American, son of a Scottish artist,
which makes it possible, in effect, to
"see the sun" even when hidden by
clouds or fog or snow. The navigator
thus has relief from the uncertainty
of dead reckoning when the sun is
above the horizon though invisible to
ordinary eyes. The "all-weather SEX
tant" detects rays beyond the range
of human sight-"recording rays
from the clouds in approximately par
allel lines to the original rays Of the
sum-"
The President has had to employ
such a mental sextant in making his
Thanksgiving Day observation. The
sun is still shining behind the clouds.
Adversely has obscured it's direct rays.
But there are the secondary rays that
parallel those which shine in prosper
GUS unclouded days. They have in
them a potency to deepen our spirit
ual lives, quicken our sympathies and
our spirit of sacrifice and strengthen
our courage.
1t will be difficult for some in dis
tress to give hearty thanks for the
abundant harvests" that have still
left them hungry, or for the "knowl-
edge that has multiplied" or for the
Education that mas advanced" or for
the general health that has improved,
says the New York Times, adding fur
Their: But what we can be thankful
for as nation is that throughout the
land those who have are uniting in an
unprecedented effort to see that those
who are in need shall have "full cause
to participate in this day of gratitude
to the Almighty" The voluntary
sharing, neighbor with neighbor, will
not only hallow a tradition that was
established in time of extreme hard
ship, but will strengthen the free in
situations of our nation which goes
forward with sober determination and
a high heart. Whatever the currents
or winds, the cloud or fog, we need
not have the anxiety of uncertainty.
Our course is clear. There is good
reason for general thanksgiving in
the spirit that prevails throughout
the land.

JOIN THE RED CROSS

The annual Red Cross. Roll Call be-
gan yesterday and with it the oppor-
tunity to contribute to the relief of
the poor and distressed, not only of
Garrett county, but of the world.
1t is unnecessary to mention the
work of the organization, because its
help in time of trouble to millions of
people is too we'll known to everyone.
1t is unnecessary to mention the
Red Cross workers who have worked
INCREASINGLY wherever needed to allie
viate suffering and lend a helping
hand at all times, because people are
aware of their sacrifices and the spir-
it in which they were made.
1t is unnecessary even to mention
the organization, because it's integ-
rity and unselfsh spirit has never
been questioned by anyone.
Knowing the organization, the work
it is doing and those who are doing
the work, it is only natural that all
people should be allowed to contribute
and help carry out the spirit of the
day to live and help live. 1t is a
privilege to contribute to the Red
Cross, and everybody with steady
Job should give his comparative mite.
Try it, and then notice the in
creased 'inside feeling" of content
ment brought about by having done
something worthwhile.

M'ADOO'S SUGGESTION

The latest Democrat of national
reputation, and there have been sew
eral of them of late, to take stand
against the cancellation Of the allied
debts owing to the United States, is
William G. McAdoo, who was Secre-
tary of the Treasury in President
Wilson's cabinet, and who knows
something about how the money was
loaned to Europe.
In recently published book,
Crowded Years." Mr.. McAdoo de-
clares that the cancellation of the
debts would place heavy burden on
the American taxpayer. He offers a
suggestion, which has been made be-
fore, that Great Britain and France,
who owe US the greatest sums, cede to
US at least part of their possessions
in the Western Hemisphere as pay
ment on the debts. The former Sec
rotary of the Treasury says in part:
eff they would transfer to us their
West Indian possessions, together
with British and French Guiana, we
could afford to accept them in liquida-
ton of a large part, perhaps as much
as half, of their Indebtedness. This
is far more than the intrinsic value OF
the islands, and, to the extent that it
is, we would be canceling large part
of the debt. But 1 am sure that pub
lie opinion in the United States would
approve this generous treatment es-
pecially if it was provided that a, just
part of the excess value at which we
took the islands and other territorial
possessions should be applied by
Great Britain and France to a reduc-
ton of their claims against Ger
many" %
The debt cancellationalists in the
United States are having tough sled
ding. Practically all of the leading
statesmen of both political parties
are against ancellation. And it might
be well to remember, as one authority
recently pointed out that the debts
would not be actually cancelled. They
would merely be transferred from Eu-
rope to the backs of the American
taxpayers. Somebody, has to pay
them, and it is certainly neither fair
nor just to ask the American taxpay-
ers to pay back to Uncle Sam money
which was borrowed by European ma
tions. The term war debts, is mis-
leading too, as practically all OF the
debt incurred before the armistice,
has been cancelled. The international
bankers want to make their private
loans in Germany good, and this is
only natural, but there ought to be
some better method than shouldering
the rest of the cost of the war on to
the American taxpayers.

siderable deficit is in prospect for this
year. An earnest effort will be made
to bolster up revenue, probably thru
increased taxes, to keep the deficit
during these hard times within reas-
enable limits.
There is an inclination among sew
eral members of Congress to promote
a reckless program of new taxes.
They see only the deficit, which is four
times as large as it was at this time
last year, and the increase of $1,000
100000 in the national debt. On this
evidence alone they are ready to
stampede toward higher taxes to bal
ance the budget.
The tax promoters ought not to lose
sight of the fact that during the ten
years preceding the depression the
people furnished nearly $1,000,000,000
annually for debt reduction purposes,
says the Washington Post. In normal
times the present tax structure not
only yields all the revenue that is nee
essary to operate the Government, but
an enormous annual surplus. From a
business standpoint the surplus bill
lions that were poured into the debt
fund should be regarded as reserve,
to be drawn upon in periods of elmer
gency. With a tax structure that
raises nearly $1,000, 100000 more than
is needed for current expenditures in
normal times an increase in the ma
tional debt during severe depression
is no cause for alarm. IA
Instead of giving too much consid-
Grafton to the current deficit far
sighted leaders will look at the num-
erous signs of business recovery. The
restoration of better conditions may
be regarded as certain. No boom is
expected, but a gradual development
of prosperity similar to that which
has always followed in the wake of a
depression. Even a reasonable revl-
val of commerce, industry and en-
ployment will swell income tax re-
ceipts and reduce the prospective def
icit to a much smaller figure than is
now estimated.
Some temporary tax upon luxuries
may be considered advisable to has
ten the return of the Government to a
balanced budget. A levy of that ma
ture might not retard the business re-
vival. But it is certain that the stu
alton does not call for drastic new
taxes. 1t is the duty of Congress to
make the bVden of supporting the
Government as light as possible, es-
pecially when the people are hard
pressed and industry is readjusting
itself to new conditions. Every men,
Der of Congress ought to be on guard
against unnecessary and excessive
taxes. 80!
