Denies Charge That Butchering
of Turkeys Tied Up Phone
Exchange in County

The Public Service Commission in
Baltimore was informed last week that
Thanksgiving made it hard for tele-
phone subscribers of the Bittinger Mu-
tual Telephone Company of Garrett
county.
The operator, the commission was
informed, was able to give no service
for two days because he was butcher
ing turkeys for the holiday market.
However, on Monday, the commits
sion received a denial of this charge.
E. S. Brenneman, secretary of the
telephone company, wrote the commits
sion that the report it had received was
not true, and that there had been no
suspension of telephone service for any
such reason.
A coal company, operating at Jen-
nings, had complained to the commits
sion about the lack of service and said
they understood it was due to the OPP
orators eXtra-curricular activities.
The exchange serves the communi-
ties of Bittinger and Jennings and has
about 80 subscribers.

TEN FAMILIES IN COUNTY
ARE UNDER QUARANTINE
Shortest Period For Scarlet Fee
yer Quarantine Is 3 Weeks

Ten families in the county were in
quarantine for scarlet fever on Tues
day, DR.. E. C. Peck, health officer, an
nounced this morning. Two of these
were cases where the child had been
retained in quarantine because of a
discharging ear which had developed
as a complication of the disease, he
said.
"The shortest period of quarantine
allowed by the State is three weeks"
the officer said "but this is only where
the case has no complications and
where there are no other children in
the family to catch the disease. Where
a pus discharge or inflammation of
any type persists after the disease,
experience has shown that new cases
can be infected from the patient.
Gin a simple case, experience has
shown that the patient is infectious
for about three weeks beginning with
the onset of the disease, but the in
lection takes place from the nose and
mouth especially. The old idea that
the scales from the patient were the
most important source of infection
is not generally accepted now, but 1t
was a good working rule in the old
days, because the patient usually takes
about three weeks to finish peeling."

NOT TO PERMIT COASTING
ON STREETS OF OAKLAND
City Council Orders That Ordi-
nance Be Strictly Enforced

That the City Council would not
permit any coasting on the city streets
this year, was announced at the con-
clusion of the regular meeting of the
Mayor and Council on Monday even
ing. There has been for many years a
town ordinance prohibiting coasting
on the streets. In recent years, how
ever, certain streets have been roped
off and designated for exclusive use
of children in coasting. But Council de-
cided that there would be no roping
of streets this year and that the coast
ing ordinance would be strictly en-
forced.
On Friday a case will be heard in
Hagerstown involving an accident on
the streets of Oakland several years
ago, the case having been removed to
the Washington county court from the
local court for trial. The case involves
damages put at $4,000 and was in
stituted against the town of Oakland
and Dr. Ralph Kercheval after Law
renee Dixon, Jr., was injured when
the sled on which he was coasting col
lided with DR.. Kercheval's automobile
at the corner of Pennington and Third
streets. A number of witnesses have
been summoned to appear at Hagers-
10, q,
Dawson, local attorneys, will repre-
sent the city, and Albert A. Doub, Jr,,
Of Cumberland, will appear for the
plaintiff.
On January 20 last year, Harold
OFT, 8, son of Mr.. and Mrs. Paul OFT,
was killed, and Lawrence Welch, IA,
was injured, while cOasting on Liberty
street. Their sled struck an automo-
bile, which tragedy was another rea-
son for Council to take the action the
body did at the Monday evening meet
ing.
Further than the coasting ordi-
nance, only routine matters occupied
the attention of the Council. Monthly
bills, amounting to approximately
$1,100, were passed and ordered paid.
A deed for the property upon which
an auxiliary reservoir is to be erected,
was sent to the owner Of the land for
execution, but had not yet been re-
turned to Council. Nothing definite to-
ward the construction of the reser-
voir will be done until spring, accord
ing to Mayor Grover C. Stemple.

Estimate OF Number Killed Is
Placed at Seventy-Five-SeasOn
Ends Today at Shutdown

With today the last chance until
1886, several hundred hunters are out
securing the woods in an attempt to
see and bring down their deer, while
others, who have been successful are
back home proudly exhibiting their
prey to relatives and friends.
Weather was a little unfavorable to
deer hunting, according to several
veterans, but from the reports from
all over the county beginning to come
in, it appears that more deer have
been killed this season than during
any previous year.
The net results of the chase have
not been tabulated, but it is practical
ly certain that at least seventy five
deer were killed. No hunting acct
dents were reported, notwithstanding
the fact that the woods were full of
hunters during the week. Three does
were brought in by game wardens
that had evidently been shot by mis-
take and had been left in the woods.
Hunters were so thick in spots that
several arguments arose over the
ownership of several deer that had
fallen. Sometimes several shots would
be in one deer, and sometimes a
hunter would finish a wounded deer
a mile or more from where he was
first shot, and the ownership was
doubtful. Mr.. Yoder, Cove, reported
The killing of three-legged deer.

DECORATED FOR YULETIDE
Local Rotary Club Sponsoring
Lighting Contest and Official
Lighting Program
CHILDREN TO GET TREAT

That Oakland citizens who deco
rate their homes for the Yuletide may
receive recognition for their efforts in
spreading good cheer and hospitality
at this season, and that others may be
encouraged to take part in the decora-
tive program this year, the Rotary
Club will offer prizes for the best
decorated and best lighted homes in
the city.
Prizes totalling SIS will be awarded
for the best decorated homes and bus
mess establishments by a board of
Judges to be chosen later There are
no special rules for the contest, the
only requirement being that the per-
son desiring to enter the competition
is requested to communicate with the
Rotary Club not later than December
%. Unless this is done, the judges may
miss your home when their tour of
inspection is made between the nights
December 26 and %.
Any type of outdoor display is eligi-
BILE for the contest. 1t may center
around porch decorations, window
boxes, the entrance, the shrubbery, the
lawn, or that little spruce tree which
stands beside the walk. Decorate in
any manner you choose-with colored
lights, silhouettes or tableau effects,
laurel or holly wreaths-just so it ex-
presses the Christmas spirit. 1t doesn't
matter whether your home is large or
small or whether you spend a lot of
money or just dollar or two on deco
rations. 1t will be the effectiveness
and beauty of the display that will
count, and it is we'll to remember that
the simplest things are often the most
beautiful.

opened with a lighting program to be
held around the Community Christ
mas tree, corner of Second and Liber-

The Stanley Coal Company, with its
chief offices at Crellin, completed ne
gotiations for the purchase of the
property of the Freeport Coal Com
pany on Monday and took over the OPP
Grafton on Tuesday when a number of
men who had been working for the
original owner, took their old places
inside and outside the mine, hence OPP

the Freeport property and in the course
of time, Mr.. Ream stated Tuesday, the
probabilities are that the Freeport OPP

ening to be made later.
Freeport is located across the line in
Preston county, West Va. The pur.

Boom In Christmas Business In
dicated by Early Shopping

The nations Christmas shoppers
will spend 10 to Is per cent more this
year than last is the belief of business
leaders in the larger cities. Substantial
increases in retail sales during the
latter part of November and unusual
industrial activity during this period
were given as reasons for the asser-
ton.
Holiday buying is said to have al
ready started with a rush, and the
country's retailers, feeling increased
buying trends, have trotted out their
Christmas dainties early and have in
this way found an early as well as a
ready market.
They are also finding an increased
demand for staple merchandise, all
lines selling at a good speed.
