incidentally, If the Wickersham re-
port Is as dry as it has been reported
to be, it may be expected that President
Hoover will continue to take the stand
that the eighteenth amendment is an
experiment noble in purpose and far
reaching in effect which must be worked
out constructively." 1t may be expected
too, that the Republicans in the 1882
national campaign will eSpouse the side
of the dryS, no matter what the Demo-
Gratis may do. If the latter nominate q
wet candidate for President and moisten
their platform a bit, as many of the

they did in the congressional elections

OVER FIFTEEN DEER ARE
EXHIBITED BY HUNTERS
Today is Last Day of Deer Sea-
sOn-Many ScOur Woods

With today remaining of the open
deer season, the success or failure of
the 200 or 300 hunters of the elusive
animal could not be determined with
any degree of accuracy but it is fair
ly certain that more than fifteen had
been bagged in all sections of the
county. Some of the hunters are I'M
decided as to their own success, be-
cause in several parties, more than
one shot was fired at the same buck,
at the same time, with only one mark
to show for their efforts. This hap
pened in the case of James Treacy
and Webster Ravenscroft, who
brought down buck between them.
Reports of narrow escapes for the
bucks have been brought back to Oak
land, but thus far only the following
have been successful in bringing
down a prize: John O'Haver, Ben
Harvey, Walter Wittig and compan-
ion, Frank Browning, Alvin Friend,
Alvin Smith, Harry Tusing, Earl
Thayer, Ralph Pritts, Bill Harvey,
Harry Sollars, John Miller, and a Mr..
Lewis, of Swallow Falls.
The deer brought down by Ralph
Pritts, Swanton, weighed 172 pounds,
dressed, and had 10 prongs. Another
large one was that of Earl Thayer.
Most of the hunters secured the
thick woods on both banks of the
Youghiogheny river, north and west
of Muddy Creek, Sang Run, and the
mountains in the vicinity of Grants
vile and Swanton, and Shaggy Noun
tain.

mailed Monday evening, November 80,
and received by $50 or more deposit
torstors of the First National Bank

a great boon, not only to local mer-
chants, but to other citizens as well.
The two local banks have announc-
ed the opening of their new 1882
Christmas Savings clubs and antici-
pate a record membership especially
from those who neglected to be men,
bers of this years clubs.
Accounts may be opened by paying

to $500. Accounts may be started
at any time, the cashiers of both of
the local banks, Mr.. G. A. Fraley,
of the Garrett National, and Mr.. Del
bert C. Davis, of the First National

AUTOMOBILE INSPECTION
CONSIDERED SUCCESSFUL
Majority of Maryland Cars Have
Been Tested in Past Month

Automobiles without inspection
stickers are being stopped by the po-
lice and the drivers ordered to have
inspection made within twenty-four
hours since the conclusion of the save
a-life campaign, which closed on Mon
day. If the owner or driver of the
car fails to comply with the order,
the car will be ordered from the roads
and the license tags for 1882 will not
be issued.
Commissioner E. Austin Baugh-
man, discussing the campaign, said
that the great majority of machines
have been tested.
Everyone should be interested in
the safety of our streets and high
ways" Commissioner Baughman said,
"and we are going to concentrate our
efforts on the few who care nothing
about their own safety or the safety
of Others"
The campaign has been successful
to date, the Commissioner said, in
having some $4,000 machines with
faulty brakes put in safe condition.
More than 1880 steering mechan-
isms have been adjusted and approx
imately 1892 lights have been cor
rected.
