The Republican. [volume] (Oakland, Md.) 1877-current, 1933-03-16

Dutch chatter. How they ever got
Hanst to impersonate an O'Toole is
beyond me. How the memories did
go back to one of the greatest high
school shows ever put on here, "The
Royal Cut-Up," starring Doc Bum
my, Duck Weber, Jim Wilson, Mrs.
Kitty Helbig, Beryl Davis, Scoop
himself, and others whom l have for
gotten for the present. The only play
in which l ever acted the william, and
was l "tuff"?
One of the most pressing problems
after the financial institutions re-
open, is how the parents will fill up
baby's bank to where it was B. M.
(before the moratorium.
Talk about American independ-
ence. Here's food for thought! Last
week they began giving out potatoes
to the needy. The potatoes were
grown last summer on the relief plot
at Loeb Lynn and had been stored
since the harvest. One of Oakland's
needy was given his sack full. He
walked into a confectionery store
and the clerk asked him if he wanted
anything. "No," he said. 'T'm
waitin' for my old woman to take a
look at these and see if they'll be all
right for her to USE" Nothing like
getting the best. The relief commit
tee should have had them graded and
sorted before giving them out.

And now, children, can anyone tell
me how many presidents we have
had, counting the present one? Well,
not if you go by the newspapers and
magazines. First one place Roose-
welt is 31st president, and then pres
to, he is 32nd. The mixup evidently
is caused by Grover Cleveland, who
had two terms, but not in succession.
So figure it out for yourself. Here's
the list: George Washington, John
Adams, Thomas jefferson, James
Madison, James Monroe, John Quin-
cy Adams, Andrew Jackson, Martin
Van Buren,, William Henry Harrison,
John Tyler, James K. Polk, Zachary
Taylor, Millard Fillmore, Franklin
Pierce, James Buchanan, Abraham
Lincoln, Andrew johnson, Ulysses S.
Grant, Rutherford B. Hayes, James
A. Garfield, Chester A. Arthur, Gro
yer Cleveland, Benjamin Harrison,
Grover Cleveland, William Mckinley,
Theodore Roosevelt, William H. Taft,
Woodrow Wilson, Warren G. Hard
ing, Calvin Coolidge, Herbert Hoover
and Franklin D. Roosevelt.

Imagine my surprise Sunday
afternoon, when the other section of
the Scoop household returned from
the apple country of Martinsburg,
and me such lover of apples too!
II brought you a present." she
chirped showing me a bushel basket
all covered up. Grimes Golden or
Northern Spy, l thought, and showed
my appreciation as any husband
would. 1t was neither kind, l found
upon investigation-It had a black
nose, black ears, four legs, and a
prominent whine, and sometime it
will be known as a German police.
And was his face red the first time
l smacked him and put him out on
the back porch!
Oakland's election went off quiet-
ly, quite contrast to Loeb Lynn's
warfare of about week ago. They
had the militia out during the Loeb
Lynn strife, and although the city is
listed around 200, children and all,
142 votes were cast for mayor.
Another Tammany Hall investiga-
ton might be needed.
j. "Jever go a-fshin'" William
Glotfelty, William R. "Runs from
Women" Browning, and Edward A.
"Ask me another" Shaffer, got on the
Oakland council. There's very apt to
be some bachelor legislation this
year, for protection against the So
called weaker sex. But it's sex of
one and half dozen of the other, if
you ask me.
Mr.. Dern should make a good sec
rotary of war. His last name has
been the start of more than one ar
gument. Now if his first name was
just Gosh or Col.
Let the middle west have it's high
winds and tornadoes, California its
earthquakes, the Mississippi valley
its foods, and most of the country
its droughts, but give me Garrett
