MT LAKE PARK
Flag Pole Erected

Mountain Lake Park Hotel. Nosing its
way high above the tallest oaks it will
be a constant reminder that the chief
aims of governments is to point the
way to a higher and better living ex-
perience and when Old Glory is flung
to the mountain winds we will be
again reminded of all that the flag
stands for and that our ultimate
peace, prosperity and happiness lies
not in sporadic outbreaks against
constituted authority nor in attempted
intimidation by bombing, but rather
in an attempt to initiate our fore
fathers who fought and died that the
Union might be established and pre-
served. In this valiant, successful at
tempt Maryland played no inconspic-
uous part. Garrett county, settled by
hardy pioneer stock, isl still in the
forefront carrying on the ideals Of
her sires.
And it is no wonder that patriotism
and love of country comes so easy to
the people of this country when we con-
slider that out of a total population
$4,000 ten years old and over OF
1884, there were only GOA classed as
illiterate. Out of a total of 1858
white population only percent
were so classed. In 1880 there were
onlv 274 foreign-born white persons
over ten years of age living in the
county, and of that number ll9, or
AZ per cent were classed as illiterate.
Out of 81 colored listed in that year,
over ten years of age, 4 were classed
as illiterate.
When in the mountains of Garrett
revolutionary talk sounds silly and
red propaganda gets slight attention
A swift one has apparently been
slipped over on the. thirsty again by
the brewers. 1t is E9w said, based on
a number of analyses, that the bever-
age now being sold throughout east
ern United States, is, not even 30 per-
cent but a weaker substitute that is
but little stronger in alcohol content
than near beer. Well, Barnum was
right when he said that the American
people Just loved to be fooled.
