vey, Shallmar Youths, Given
80 and 60 Days, Respectively
MOTHER CAUSED ARREST

In swearing out a warrant for the
arrest of Clarence Paugh, IS, of Shall
mar, on a charge of unauthorized use
of an automobile, Mrs. Jesse Prando
unknowingly was responsible for get
ting her son, George Harvey, 20, ar
rested on the same charge.
At hearing before Justice George
G. Poole, at Kitzmiller, on Monday,
both Paugh and Harvey were SEN
fenced to 80 and 60 days, respectively,
in the Garrett County Jail. A charge
of larceny was not pressed against
the youths, but both were convicted
under the charge of unauthorized use

do, Harvey's step-father, was stolen
last Wednesday and during the trial
it was testified before the court that
Paugh and Harvey went to the garage
and forced the lock with a poker. They
drove the car to Shenandoah Junction,
Va, and thence to Petersburg, W. Va.
The warrant was sworn out for the
arrest of Paugh, and Roy Sewers, con-
stable at itzmiller, located the ma
chine at Petersburg, with Paugh in it
asleep. A few minutes later Harvey
appeared, having gone to a farmhouse
for some gasoline.
Paugh pleaded guilty to his part in
the matter but also stated that Har-
vey was with him all the time. Har-
vey admitted he was under the infu-
ence Of liquor and he testified that he
had found two pints of liquor beneath
a pile Of leaves near a tree. He said
they were walking along when he
noticed the leaves stacked up and
kicking into the pile they discovered
the liquor.
Paugh just recently returned from
a c. c.. c. camp in Virginia.

Delaware, and another in Baltimore
In the Allegheny mountains near
Johnstown, two transcontinental and

ton of large reservoir for the town
of Oakland have been completed and
application for the building of it has
been presented to the Civil Works Ad-

Historical Calendar To Raise
Funds For Crippled Children

An historical calendar, marking the
three hundredth anniversary of the
founding of Maryland, is being issued
by the Children's hospital school of
Baltimore, in order to raise funds to
help maintain the school.
The calendars are being sold for
S1.00 each and the Maryland League
for Crippled Children is assisting in
their sale. Mrs. C. Milton Sincell is
is charge for this county and the exc
cutive secretary Of the Maryland
League has sent her so to dispose of
in Garrett county.
The sale of this calendar is neces-
sary because the state and city have
not made any increased appropria-
ions to the hospital and many calls
are being received for disqualification
of patients. The hospital has been
called repair shop for the mending
of broken children and many Garrett
county children have been patients
there.
The calendar is said to be beautiful
ly illustrated, emphasizing the princi-
pal events in the early history of the
state, and its correctness is assured
by the fact that Matthew Page An
drews is associated in it's production.
Those desiring such calendars for
themselves or as gifts are urged to
see Mrs. Sincell.

be borne in mind that this rating
reflects the work of pupils who
entered college between September
1925 and June, 1880. That means it
includes some pupils who graduated
from High School prior to 1925
and it includes none of the 1880

true picture of the condition of her

This test is used annually in the
Wrangell school and covers grades
2 to 8 inclusive. This test is used
all over the United States and is
standardized so as to give a basis
for comparison. Our school as a
whole has regularly tested above
the average for the United States.
For the past five year period the
Wrangell eighth grades have tested
as follows: 1929, two-tenths of a

tenths of a year below normal;
1881, six-tenths of a year above

endure the aforementioned brick

rightfully have in our school.

The Flag in 1777

Yesterday for Art Lesson we made
the flags like Betsy Ross made.
We put them in the front of our
school room. Today Harry made
flag of Eengland. The United States
used the flag before they made one
of their own. The flag that Betsy
Ross made had 13 stars in circle.
Georgia Washington drew a six
pointed star for Betsy. But Betsy
said that a five pointed star would
be much better. Betsy made a five
pointed star. Leveda Mather
