HERE Is another side to foo
ball-apart from all the tall
about big stadia, proselyting
recuiting and overemphasis
There Is also the side that finds sew
eral million people marching each Sat-
urday to several hundred foot ball
fields-crowds that run from 10000
to 70,000-getting a big kick out OF
life that would be missing if there
were no foot ball.
Your old friend. Adam Smith, has
shown you that nations wealth Is
based upon its happiness-so you can
figure what an Autumn Saturday
would be if there were no foot ball
games
There would always be sub
stitute-but what sort of sub
stitute?
II know and you know that foot
ball has its weak spots Tad Jones
said. But has any one figured out
something to take its place-some-
thing that would be better-something
that would bring more fun to both
the player and the crowd? Sure, 1t
isn't perfect. but how much perfection
do YOU find scattered around? Color,
music, cheering, action and thrills
what else could fill this gap? They
never think of that"
"Of course" Bob Zuppke says, foot
ball is a rough game and in a way 1t
is a sort of Roman holiday. That's
one reason so many young fellows like
it. 1t gives them the chance to be a
certain sort of hero. What's wrong
in that? What's wrong in having a
big stadium filled with $4,000 people
having a good time?
"Why is everything that leads
to fun always wrong to SO many
people?
IT still say that foot ball is the last
frontier of ruggedness in American
life"
You can also figure the amount OF
money that is scattered around.
Twenty million dollars each Saturday
is a light estimate.

Dr. Hosea w. McAdoo, superinten-
dent of the Springfield State hospital,
at Sykesville, will be the attending
physician at the mental hygiene clinic
to be held at the Grantsville school on
Friday morning, and will also speak

These clinics are held every two
months in this county, according to
DR.. E. C. Peck, health officer. The next

March, to be held at Oakland.
The preparation of cases for the
clinic is shared by the Department of
Education, the Health department,
and Mrs. E. Z.>Tower, of the Chill
dren's Aid society. Cases are brought
to the clinic because they are be-
havior problems or failures in school,
DR.. Peck stated, and a thorough
study of each case is necessary be-
fore the experts from the State hos
pital can advise as to further treat
ment.

Paid 1884 Auto Taxes

Members of more than 1900 fam
lilies who own automobiles in Garrett
county are walking these days unless

NICE WILL BE THE S9TH
GOVERNOR OF, MARYLAND
Citizens of Annapolis Have Seen
Seventy-five Inaugurals

Two hundred forty years ago, An
napolis received it's first governor of
Maryland as a resident and since that
time the city has seen rs inaugurals.
When Harry w. Nice takes the
oath of office as governor on January
8 he will be the eighty-ninth man who
has governed the state since 1851,
when William Claiborne settled on
Kent Island and governed it under
trading commission issued by Vir-
ginia.
The seat of the state government
was transferred from ST. Mary's City
to Annapolis in 1649, when Francis
Nicholson was governor. From that
time until the revolution, sixteen men
served as governors, practically all
being royal governors.
During the revolution, the colony
was governed by a provincial conven-
ton with a council of safety exercis-
ing power between sittings of the con-
vention.
The first of the state governors
elected annually by the legislature,
with an executive council, was Thomas
johnson, who took office in 1777.
Since his term, so different men have
held the office Thirty-seven men gov
erned the colony before Johnson be
came the executive. Several served
more than one term.
Although the Inauguration of Gov
ernor- Elect Nice will be the city's
seventy-siXth Inauguration, it will be
fifteen years since residents have\seen
a new executive installed in office.
Governor Richie succeeded Gov
ernor Emerson c. Harrington on
January IA, 1920, the inaugural cere-
monies being simple, at his request.
Governor Richie was sworn in by the
late Chief Judge A. Hunter Boyd, of
the court of appeals in the Senate
chamber. He delivered his inaugural
address in the house of delegates
chamber, Governor Harrington max
ing a farewell address. The parade
was small, consisting chiefly of the
Second Regiment band and members
of the Fifth Regiment veteran corps.

Fire Department Called

Tie Oakland Fire Department was
called last Sunday morning to ex-
tinguish a haystack fire on the
property of Mrs. Harry Helbig, at the
north edge of town.
The hay stack was near the barn,
and it was feared the fire would
spread. Jack Teets, small son of Mr..

he may have been playing with
matches. The haystack was almost
entirely destroyed.
