REPEAL WOULD INTENSITY
DEPRESSION, DRYS TOLD
Prohibition Should Be Retained,
Ex-COngressman Moore Tells
Mt. Lake Park Listeners
OVER 300 ARE PRESENT

EX-Congressman C. Ellis Moore, of
Ohio, speaking before about 300 at the
annual meeting of the Anti-Saloon
League of Maryland at Mt. Lake Park
on Sunday, said that repeal of the
eighteenth amendment would Gin
tensify the depression rather than re-
lieve it."
Mr.. Moore said there was still a
chance to retain the prohibition
amendment and the drys should re-
member that Is states could keep it
in the constitution. at should remain
there even if held by minimum Of
States because when we pass out of
the depression and return to sanity
we'll have the 18th amendment and it
then can be enforced"
He argued that drunkenness had
greatly decreased during prohibition,
that the 18th amendment had rid the
country of 10000 saloons and that its
repeal would mean their return.
Zone of the most unwarranted
statements of the vets is that drink
ing among young people is general
and that they want repeal" Mr..
Moore continued 81 find no clamor
among the young people for repeal
and there is no greater percentage of
youthful drinkers now than in pre-
prohibition days.
"The vets say they want control of
the liquor traffic and ask that it be re-
turned to State control. The liquor
traffic can't be entrusted to run itself.
They want liquor more than they want
the control.
''The vets object to the lack of en-
forcement. Those in charge Of en-
forcement state that the agitation of
the vets has encouraged lawlessness
and made the task of enforcement
difficult. Can we trust those people to
enforce it under State control?"
George W. Crabbe, speaking at the
morning meeting, stated that beer had
not lived up to claims made by those
who fought for it several months ago.
"The vets claimed if breweries were
open people would be satisfied and the
depression ended. If they were salts
fed they would not still be pushing
for repeal
eff beer has contributed to any
marked degree for ending the depres-
sion l can see no reason for General
johnson of the NRA, Mrs. johnson,
their son and others, to engage in an
effort to enforce consumers and pro-
ducers to fall into line to end the de-
preston.
"Breweries," he concluded, shave
not given US normal times. l urge
all people of Garrett county to vote
against the beer bill and for continu-
ing the 18th amendment at the polls
on September r."
The Gilbert-Brown Boys Band of
Oakland played a concert preceding
the afternoon meeting. The sessions
were held in the auditorium at the
Park with Rev. I. S. Middaugh in
charge of the service.

PLANS ARE COMPLETE FOR
THIRD ANNUAL RAM SHOW
Will Be Held in Oakland on Sat
urday, August 26, at 2 O'Clock

Plans are completed for the third
annual purebred ram show and sale
to be held in Oakland, Saturday, Au-
gust 26th, at 200 o'clock p. m., ac
cording to County Agent John H. Car
ter. Sheepmen are expected to gather
from all parts of Western Maryland,
nearby West Virginia and Pennsyl-
vania.
This years consignment of purebred
rams is drawn from several of the
best purbred focks in Maryland, and
includes the following entries:
H. P. Miller, Grantsville, Is Hamp-
shires and Shropshires; E. D. Stottle-
myer, Williamsport, 5 Shropshires; d.
D. Meese, Grantsville, Shropshires;
Robert B. Rench, Hagerstown, 5
Hampshires.
All of these are purebred yearling
rams. 1t is felt that they are the kind
of rams that will add to the reputation
of these parts in the production Of
high class market lambs. Those
sheepmen who have obtained purebred
rams in former years report that they
have been more than satisfied with the
good lambs produced by them. They
also testify that the ewes by these
purebred sires that have been kept in
their focks are steering from 2 to 5
pounds more wool per head than their
mothers produced before them.
All sheepmen are cordially invited
to attend, whether they are interested
in buying rams or not.

show what Pittsburgh wholesalers,
merchants and industrialists have to

business which belongs to the Table

our goods and cooperate with them"

Marian here's my old straw hat
Please hang it up my dear,
I'm That same nail where it has hung
Near On to twenty years.
Its getting frosty and my hair
Amt very thick on top,
And that hats got narrow crown
And the rim goes flippyty flop.

And wasps and then hen lice,
And that crown was all chewed up
By them old pesky mice.
Now twenty years is mildly long
To wear around one hat,
The women folks change hats each
month
You are well aware Of that.
I've carried eggs up from the born
In that old handy hat,
And though it got some egg smear on 1t
/ do not care for that
I've brought you berries from the
field
In that good old straw hat,
And once it was full of Kittens
Laid by old nanny cat.
I've filled it up with cabbage leaves
To keep my hot head cool,
And often dipped drank with it
Down at the meadow pool.
That old hat is almost busted
But to me it looks good,
l wouldn't trade it off for the plug
Of eny New York dude.
So hang it up on that high nail
And keep it safe my dear,
When robin comes to nest again
I'll wear that hat next year.
