Groundhog's Predictions Are Being Realized
2:30 o'clock.

Gobbler's Knob, February 6.-Herr
Grounding seems to know his predic-
tions, this year at least. Thursday,
February 2, was cold but clear, an
ideal day for the woodchuck to come
out of his hole, gaze at his shadow
and predict skating in March. He
came out, as expected, saw his shad-
ow and gave his usual predictions.
Friday was still cold and clear, as II
to discountenance the sagacity and
wisdom of the animal prognosticator.
But, came the dawn. Saturday, to be
exact. And it continued Sunday, and
when the sun again came out on Mon
day there was no doubt left in the
minds of Garrett countians that there
had been a real winter storm.
Which was just as expected by all
good believers in Groundhog's Day.
In fact the grounding himself was
rather proud of the clearness of his
shadow last Thursday.

many years, and it means thereW be

there'll be a change soon and shorts

"There will be snow, mixed with
rain and lot of ice. Billiards are

DAZED HOLD-UP VICTIM
FOUND WITH RELATIVES
MOrgantOwn Man Discovered Al
Deer Park Last Week-Had
Been Robbed and Beaten
CANNOT RECALL EVENTS

His mind seemingly clouded by a
beating administered, Morgantown
police believe, by three men who rob-
bed him of $32 early last Wednesday
morning, Gus King, SO, of Morgan
town, is improving at his home but
has been unable to give any definite
information about either the robbery
or the attack.
He was found last Thursday after
noon at the home of relatives near
Deer Park.
His condition, officers were told, in
dicates he suffered brain conclusion
when he was attacked and robbed.
King went to Cassville last Tuesday
night to get $32.01 due him for mine
work performed last November. He
returned to Morgantown and met
"Red" Harris. Both men were seen
later at a dance hall and still later in
another resort.
Lieut.. Pickett, of the Morgantown
police, picked up Harris and a Negro
the following morning and took them
to Jail, where Harris is said to have
made a confession, duplicating an
other Negro.
King, he said, was attacked and
knocked over an embankment, then
robbed while unconscious. Thorough
ly dazed, it is believed King wandered
along the highway and M. and X.
right of-way toward Masontown and
Kingwood. Sheriff Clarence Brown,
Preston county, said he learned King
spent Wednesday night at Terra AL
ia. From there he was followed. to
Oakland and finally to Deer Park,
where he was found in a relatives
home. He was unable to give a CO.
herent account of his movements.
Harris and the two negroes, Pete
Wilson and H. H. Callahan, are being
held in Jail. Wilson has admitted
that he knocked King over the bank
but did not, he says, get any of the
mans money.
King says he remembers only that
when he returned to Morgantown on
last Tuesday he had drink of liquor
with Harris. He says he remembers
nothing between the drink and his
partial recovery at the Deer Park
home. J. B. King, of near the Park,
is brother of the man.

FINDING A MARKET WILL
DEPEND MUCH ON QUALITY
Only Quality Products Moving
On Market at Present Time;
Little Hope for Poor Stuff
A REIMBURSEMENT NEEDED

Quality of product is going to be
one of the major determining factors
in finding a market for the farmers
agricultural commodities" stated j
H. Carter, county agent, this morn
ing when asked what the farmers
outlook was for 1888 and the next few
years.
Mr.. Carter based his statement on
the fact that only quality products
are moving on the market at the pres
ent time.
while quality products are being
moved at low price," Mr.. Carter
continued, poor quality products
cannot be moved at all. Quality is
not only yielding greater return on
the market but a greater return on
production, and less labor per unit in
production of live stock, farm pro-
ducts, poultry, etc.
producing quality is not accom-
plished overnight, as it requires q
well thought out and planned program
in selecting seed crops and in breed.
ing of live STOCK" he emphasized.
Pointing out that producers who
have quality products have found a
ready market, Mr.. Carter cited two
cases in this county. E. F. Garletts
and Howard Schlossnagle, of Selbys.
port and Accident, respectively, re-
ceived orders for many times the num-
Der of bushels of potatoes they could
supply just because it was shown in
the Baltimore exhibit that their pota-
toes had quality. Others in the coun.
ty having quality products have found
a ready sale, and the same princi-
pie prevails in all other agricultural
commodities.
Leading economists have considered
the agricultural outlook for 1888 and
have pointed out where adjustments
are needed. Their outlook sees a low
general price level, low foreign and
domestic demand and a disparity be-
tween prices and costs which includes
high cost of labor and machinery, high
fixed costs of taxes, debts, etc., high
retail prices and cost of distribution
and low price of farm products; more
competition for quality and conserva-
tive credit policies.
Under adjustments needed they in
clude less labor per unit of product
this to be gained by using good seed,
better disease control, more culling of
live stock and better care of good
acres or animals; more home repair
work; more retailing; production OF
high quality products, and under this
head County Agent Carter recon-
mends for Garrett countians maple
sugar and syrup, dairying, beef cat
tie raising with especial emphasis on
the baby beef, potatoes both for COM
mercial use and seed stock; raising
of sheep, which also includes high
grade wool and choice lambs.
Other adjustments included more
living from the farm; increase in re-
ceipts from outside work; paying cash
to get discounts; a plan and study of
business, and working with the county
agent, farm organizations and the
Extension service.
