COUNTY FAIR DIRECTORS
TO MEET FRIDAY NIGHT
Question as to Holding Annual
Exhibition to be Discussed Z

A meeting of the Board of Directors
of the Garrett County Agricultural
Fair association has been called for
Friday evening at s o'clock in the
Office of the county agent, court house,
Oakland. Letters announcing this
have been sent out stating that i'm
portant business will be brought up
for discussion.
The important business will in all
probability concern the holding of the
annual Fair. The Fair grounds were
sold this spring and it was thought
at the time that there would be no
county agricultural exhibit this year.
However, the State provides $1,250 if
a fair is held within the county, and
there is a possibility of it being held
as in former years.
Members of the Board of directors
include: DIR. Henry w. McComas,
president; Charles w. Ream, vice
president; H. M. Speicher, secretary
and general manager; Walter G..
Meyers, treasurer; H. A. Loraditch, A.
R. Martin, G. B. M. Friend, Daniel E.
Orendorf, H. L. Porter, ]. W. Whor-
ton, A. D. Naylor, w. C. WEIGH,
Samuel R. Ringer, George D. Brown
ing, Henry P. Miller, Bert C. Scott,
Guy Hinebaugh and N. C. Sanders.

OFFICERS FIND QUANTITY
OF MASH; TWO ARRESTED
Were Seeking Sugar Stolen from
Piedmont Grocery Company

While following up clue which
officers thought might lead to the ar
rest of the thieves who entered the
Piedmont Grocery warehouse recently,
Samuel Cole and Clarence Spear
came upon John Gucik, of near
Uniontown, Pa, stirring some barrels
of mash in building on the Bud
Hershman farm, several miles west
of Oakland, last Saturday afternoon.
In the building were 16 50-gallon
barrels of mash, but no still was dis
covered. John Gucik was arrested, as
was also Raymond Phillips, likewise
of near Uniontown. Phillips was
not arrested until the second trip
there. While on the first trip two
men drove up in a Pennsylvania car
but fled as soon as they saw the Off
GERS. Officers were unable to over
take them although they followed
them as far as Oakland. Upon the
return trip by roundabout way,
officers discovered and arrested Phil
lips.
A truckload of sugar, 1900 pounds,
had been brought in from Uniontown
and it was the thought that this
might be the sugar stolen from the
Piedmont Grocery that prompted the
investigation.
Three more were arrested for viola
ton of the Federal Prohibition act on
Tuesday when Federal agents ares
ted bud" Fazenbaker, Daniel Reed
and John Brandlen, of Bloomington,
on charges of manufacture and pos
session.
At a preliminary hearing before
Justice w. A. Gender, yesterday,
Brandlen and Reed furnished bond in
the sum of $500, while Fazenbaker is
still in Jail, in default of bond.

B. F. CREECH TO JUDGE
SHOW OF PUREBRED RAMS
West Virginian to Pass on Oak
land Entries on September 3

B. F. Creech, of West Virginia Ex-
tension Service, Morgantown, man
we'll known to sheepmen in this terri
tory, has been selected to judge the
show of purebred rams here in Oak
land on Saturday, September 3. For
many years Mr.. Creech has been in
charge of livestock extension activ-
tiles in his State. Those who have
seen Mr.. Creech work know from past
observation and experience that he
can be depended on to pick the low
set, wide-out, heavy masculine kind of
rams that lamb producers prefer.
About 25 head of purebred rams will
be shown, most of them Hampshire
and Shropshies.
The show will start at 100 o'clock
and will be staged in the shade of
the trees on a vacant lot near the
center of town. All the rams in the
show will be disposed of at auction
following the show. Last years auc-
ton resulted in an average of SIT
per head on 20 head. According to
County Agent John H. Carter the
rome to be entered have already been
picked from several leading Maryland
and Pennsylvania flocks and are now
being prepared for the show. With
$4,000 to 10000 market lambs being
produced annually within a radius of
so miles of Oakland, the wide interest
in this project is clearly explained.
Scrub lambs are low in price while the
better grades, by comparison, are SELL
ing just about as we'll as anything
produced on the farm.

URGES VOTERS TO KEEP
PROHIBITION IN CONGRESS
Anti-SalOOn League Leader Says
Society Must Maintain Nom
Partisanship in Politics
TWO-DAY MEETING HELD

Speaking at the anti-saloon league
meeting at Mt. Lake Park Sunday
evening DR.. F. Scott Mcbride, national
chairman of the organization, said the
voters should keep the prohibition
question in Congress, and that then
society must maintain non-partisan-
ship as to politics.
DIR. Mcbride asserted that congress-
men were the only ones responsible
for the maintenance or repeal of the
Eighteenth Amendment and that
there was "too much talk of men high
err up, who have no power to act in
this matter"
During his address he said, eff l
were to say anything about Hoover l
would cite the old scripture where it
said that man ought to be careful
of the company he keeps around him."
DIR. Mcbride said that three-fourths
of the Presidents cabinet were "out-
standing vets" and mentioned espec-
tally Walter Brown of Ohio, post
master general, and the political adj
wiser of the Republican party.
"Hoover has not surrendered to the
bootlegger as some say, but is for
law enforcement" DR.. Mcbride con-
tinued.
Bootlegger Product of Saloon
"The bootlegger is a product of the
saloon, not of prohibition, and the
gangster, originating from Italy,. was
a recognized political power, not
under prohibition, but under the
saloon"
The dry leader cited statistics
showing where prohibition was OBJ
tanned through both parties, and
urged the people to resist repeal and
vote for congressman and legislators
who are dry. "If liquor comes back
the saloon will be back"
"PussyfOOt" Johnson Talks
Approximately 1000 persons from
Western Maryland, West Virginia,
and Pennsylvania attended the meet
ing at which W. E. "Pussyfoot" john
son also spoke, combining his talk
mostly to the history of the efforts
to prohibit and regulate the liquor
traffic.
He pointed out how in ancient times
governments had tried to get rid of
the evils of drink without trying to
get rid of the drink. After 4,2OO
years of failure people thought of the
idea of getting rid of the liquor. He
also showed that when boasts were
made concerning how the liquor
question was managed in foreign
countries, they never made public
statistics showing the amount of
crime, the number of dependents on
the government, due to whiskey.
america is going ahead with the
prohibition system for good" he con-
.cluded.
George w. Crabbe, Superintendent
of the Maryland Anti-Saloon League
of Maryland, spoke on Saturday after
noon, while on Saturday evening adj
dresses were made by S. J. Fickel,
editor, The American Issue; and DR..
w. P. McGarey, chairman, committee
on reform of the United Presbyterian
churh of America.
Local ministers acted as presiding
officers, and were in charge of the
devotional exercises.
