Meaning of "creole"

An impression widely prevalent in
the English-speaking world is that
a creole is the descendant of racially
mixed parentage, especially white
and negro. But the true fact is that

describe many types of mankind
never should it imply mixture of the

Hunters Practice Turkey Calling
In Effort to Lure Birds

If practice makes perfect, turkey
calling has become quite an art among
Garrett county hunters who in great
numbers have turned their thoughts to
making the 'redlegs bite the dust"
This is the first open season on this
species of game in Garrett county in
several years and not only the old
seasoned hunters but so-called green
horns" have been testing their skill, or
luck, just as you choose, in shooting
down the birds.
Most of the turkey hunting is being
done in the Steyer and Ryan's Glade
communities where there are said to
be several fiocks in the wooded sec
lions.
Four hunters are said to have been
successful in bagging this truly Amer
lean bird thus far during the season.
Max yelling, Oakland shot two, Carl
Frazee and Ross Stup one each and a
resident of Ryan's Glade commun-
ity also got one of the birds. The
weights ranged from 10 to 16 pounds
each. During the coming days
more hunters are expected to take to
the woods.

GARRETTS SEED POTATOES
PRODUCE LARGEST YIELDS
Mason Variety Proves Best
Producer in County

Mason (smooth ruraD potatoes,
with the seed being produced in Gar
rett county, take first place among
all other varieties planted in units on
the William S. Friend farm near Oak
land in an experiment last spring.
According to bulletin compiled by
the State Department it is shown that
the Mason variety led far in advance
of it's nearest competitor, and that it
produced 468 bushels of U. S. No. l
potatoes to the acre. The bulletin al
so pointed out that total of 564
bushels of potatoes were yielded per
acre from the seed produced in Gar
rett county, which consisted of the
1853 bushels of the No. l variety, 81
bushels of the No. 2 and Al bushels of
culls.
The next highest yielding seed pota-
toes were those produced in Worcester
county, Md, being of the same variety
as those produced here, with a yield
of 42O bushels of No. 1 U. S. grade
and a total yield of 4S4 bushels.
The bulletin covers all varieties
planted on the Friend farm and shows
great variation in the producing
qualities of seed potatoes which can
be grown in Garrett county. One
variety, the Irish Cobbler, coming
from the State of New York, had a
yield of only 1874 bushels to the acre
with only 80 bushels being of the U.
S. No. l grade.
The Friend field was planted in
tuber units on May %, "a and 25.
Irish cobblers were harvested August
80 and the late varieties on October
81. The field was sprayed seven times
with Bordeaux mixture 44-5O.

THANKSGIVING DINNERS WILL COST APPROXIMATELY
SAME AS LAST YEAR; SURVEY OF LOCAL STORES MADE

Turkeys are expected to be plentiful.
Chickens were priced from 20 to 25
cents dressed, and from IL to Is cents
in the rough. Three years ago, live
chickens were priced at 20 cents.
Cranberries, always thought to be a
Thanksgiving Day necessity, are sell
ing for Is cents per quart. Sweet
potatoes are and cents per pound,
with white potatoes 20 to 25 cents a
peck.
Eggs are taking another jump with
the latest price being 35 cents, making
it about the same as last year. But
ter of the highest quality is quoted
from 25 to 80 cents.
Apples are bringing from 81 to
$1.35 per bushel; good oranges, 80
cents per dozen; celery, 10 cents per
bunch; pumpkin, 10 to Is cents per
can; and oysters, so to 60 cents per
quart.
From this list one can figure the
approximate cost of the Thanksgiving
dinner, depending on the quantity de-
sired and the number of mouths to
feed.

SAVE A LIFE CAMPAIGN
is TERMED SUCCESSFUL
More Than l 400 Cars Have Been
Inspected at Oakland Garages

Notwithstanding a considerable in
crease in the number of automobile
fatalities during this years annual
Save-a-Life campaign, which officially
ended last Wednesday, the campaign
has been considered a success. Fifty
two persons lost their lives in motor
accidents during the one-month period
ending November Is, as compared
with thirty-seven during the same
period last year. Only one Of the
deaths, however, was caused by faulty
mechanism in the machine involved.
The campaign is designed to reduce
deaths resulting from motor accidents
caused by faulty mechanism.
Approximately 1927 automobiles
were inspected at nine garages in
Oakland it has been reported, and
about rs per cent of these were in
good running condition. Cars were
inspected for lights, breaks, wind
shields, tires, etc.
Many people neglected to have
their cars inspected before November
Is, and State police have instructions
to stop all uninspected cars and stay
with them until they are taken to a
station and marked o. K.
One garage owner has received word
to continue inspecting the cars, and
if this is correct, it contradicts for
mer order stating that there would
be no extension of time this year.
There are about 5000 cars in Gar
rett county, according to the assess
ment books in the office of ]. j. Ashby,
Jr., county treasurer.

Turkeys Expected to Bring
25 to 80 Cents Per Pound

Thanksgiving dinners this year, as
a whole, will cost approximately the
same as in the past two years, in
spite of the rise in price of some of
the articles recently, and it is esti-
mated that dinner may be prepared
for about half as much capital outlay
as in 1918.
With bountiful yield Of crops in
most sections, practically every pro-
duct of the farm is being offered at
reasonable prices and canned goods
are near the figures they brought last
year.
Although there is no definite price
yet for turkeys, the merchants of
town feel that there won't be much
of change from last years figures.
The general opinion was that they
would be from % to 30 cents dressed,
and from Is to 20 cents in the rough.

SCHICK TESTS ARE MADE IN
OAKLAND PUBLIC SCHOOL
FOrty-seven Pupils Found Who
Are Not ImmuniZed

Two hundred seventy-one Schick
tests have been made in the Oakland
elementary school, according to DR.. E.
C. Peck, county health officer, and in
a total number of 73 that have been
completed, Al were positive, which
shows that these children could take
diphtheria should they be exposed to
it. The remaining 26 showed mega
tive test, which indicates that they are
immune and would not contract the
disease even if exposed to it under or
binary conditions.
"These forty-seven pupils should
be taken to their family doctor and
become immunized," DR.. Peck stated.
He also said that the slips which the
parents of the children had signed
should be returned to the children,
who would take them back to the par
ents, as the result of the test was
written upon that slip by the health
department.
Schick testing will be done in the
Oakland High school today and to-
morrow, DR.. Peck said. He is being
assisted in the work by Mrs. Peck and
Mrs. Yolanda C. Cole, county health
nurse.
There is but one case of diphtheria
in the Oakland district, according to
the health department, and scarlet
fever throughout the county has not
increased any during the week.
Conditions Near Friendsville
Owing to cases of diphtheria in four
families in the vicinity of Friendsville
there has been considerable anxiety
among the parents and many have
kept their children out of school I'M
necessarily, according to the health
officials. There have been over two
hundred children immunized in the
town and community during the last
month and about fifty others were
proved to be immune by the Schick
test. A check-up in the Friendsville
school yesterday showed that every
child in school then except one had
been immunized.
