SCOOPS COLUMN

looks very much like the people of the
country wanted a change in admins
tration. Except, of course, good old
Garrett county, which was one of the
few faithfuls left. This column was
right in one prediction, although the
figures were just bit higher than the
ones printed here last week. We said
the bond issue wouldn't get 200 votes.
Well, it got BIT. And it wouldn't sur
prise me if our county watchdog tried
to take credit for the defeat of it.
had always heard of a Hoover for
cleaning carpets but it's the first time
/ ever heard of Roosevelt sweeping
the nation.
This is one neck of hote; 1 mean
note of heck; hook of a net-you say
it-heck of a note. Harland Jones
goes to Baltimore again this week
and I must go along to see that he
doesn't come out in the hotel corridor
like .Dukhabor and let the wind
blow his door shut. You remember
what happened on the last rip
mean trip.
And next week gives promise of the
sequel or what not to Mr.. Hyde's ac-
count of his Rambling Round Gar
rett County," If Mr.. Jones doesn't re-
quire all my time 1 might ramble
round Baltimore for day and then
give historical account of it.
My good friend, Mr.. J. E. Moomaw,
of Princeton, N. j., is a life-saver
this week. With only ten minutes to
write this column before 1 leave for
the big city, 1 get letter from him
with parts we'll worth printing. Here
are some:
II have done quite a lot of travelling
over these United States and the
place most near and dear to my heart
is Mountain Lake Park, the only
place one can live, love and labor as
he chooses, SO long as he chooses to
love his own. With Miss Huff having
the cooperation of the entire commun-
ity, Mountain Lake will be the most
popular summer resort in the States
in few years.
II could never understand why Mt.
Lake had to go to Loeb Lynn for her
mail and Loeb Lynn had to go to Mt.
Lake Park for hers. 1 think the post
office should be in Loeb Lynn and a
sub-station in C. P. Martins store
with a subway from the postofice to
the store.
II have done quite a lot of adver-
Using here in the east for dear old
Mountain Lake Park, telling people
of the land free of mosquitoes, where
the lawns need to be moved in Feb
ruary, where parsnips grow six feet
long, where squashes WEIGH 600 lbs,
and of Deep Creek Lake where the
trout's average weight is $50 pounds
and jump ten feet out of the water to
laugh at us poor nuts sitting on the
shore catching Pinch sunfsh or "pun-
kin" seed bass.
81 have been busy catching bugs for
the children's biology classes, but it
was easy last week as I used candi-
dates for doodlebugs.
"If you don't print this I will see
that you are nominated for president
in 1886; but if you do, you'll never
even get on the State Central Com
mittee."
Personally I never did want to be
president. And my convictions are
stronger after seeing the country elect
a man who no doubt has ability and
defeat one of the greatest men of his
day.

Well, here it is just three minutes
until four o'clock, Tuesday morning
and the column not out yet. What a
polish predicament. The boss editor
is going to get wise if don't get an
idea before long.
One hundred sixty-seven school chill
dren without shoes and ia more need
ing them is lot different than the
5000 reported by David ]. Lewis some
few weeks ago.
And the peanut has not yet been
rolled up Alder street toward the
Court House.
A little boy just remarked Sunday
to his uncle that they were building
a dog house out the State road, just
north of town, and that he ought to go
out to see it. Driving out in his car
the little boy pointed it out. "There, u
he said. The house with the smoke
stack on the side of it."
It's a good thing 1 hadn't moved
in yet. Anyway, Pm no relation to
the county watchdog;a different breed
entirely. I'm part pointer and setter
myself. I always point to chair
whenever possible and go and sit in
I'll loc, oL.41-
