OFFICIAL FIGURES GIVE
6lO MAJORITY FOR BEER
Citizens Vote To Legalize It's
Sale With More Than 5000 Bal
lots Cast In Spirited Election
5 PRECINCTS REMAIN DRY

Garrett county voted by a ma
jority of 610 to legalize the sale
of beer at the special election on
Tuesday according to official re-
turns made public by the Board
of Supervisors of Elections at
the conclusion of the canvass of
returns Wednesday afternoon.
The count stood 1886 for beer
and 2276 against the PROPOSE
ton.
More than five thousand voters went
to the polls for the second time in two
years to settle the question of legaliz-
ing the sale of beer, which was voted
out with hard liquors about twenty
years ago, when citizens of the county
decided in favor of local option. In
1888 the sale of beer proposition was
defeated by 80 votes.
According to the law beer will not
be sold within the county until fifteen
days after the publication of the first
notice of application is printed in the
newspaper. The Clerk of the Circuit
Court, under the law, has the required
blank forms on hand which are re-
quired to be filled out and filed in his
office before publication is made and
prior to the issuance of licenses au-
thorizing the applicant to begin bus
mess. Many who contemplate engag-
ing in the sale of the beverage are en-
gagged in securing the requisite num-
Der of signatures on their application
forms to be presented to the Court
Clerk. An extra effort is also being
made by many so that they will be
enabled to engage in the business prior
to the State Firemen's Convention to
be held here June 10, 20 and 81.
The official returns of the balloting
shown at the canvass of votes by the
Election Supervisors is as follows:

RECOVERY ACT SCRAPPED;
SUPREME COURT DECIDES
Compulsory Enforcement of the
Codes Abandoned; Court Asks
For Continued Observance
DEBT MORATORIUM VOID

The Democratic administra-
ton bowed before a Supreme
Court ruling that reduced the
NRA to a scrap of paper at
Washington on Tuesday, an
nouncing that all measures for
compulsory enforcement of the
codes had been abandoned. The
Court, however, pleaded for a
continued code observance.
On two specific counts the
Court found the sections of the Ma
tional Recovery Act unconstitutional.
1t held that the Congress had illegally
delegated its own powers to the Pres
ident in authorizing him to approve
and promulgate the codes.
1t ruled that Congress may not reach
into community and tell a poultry
dealer whose business only indirectly
affects interstate commerce how much
he shall pay his help and what the
latter's working hours shall be.
The verdict of the Court threw the
Administration and Congress into a
state of confusion and bewilderment.
Donald Richberg, NRA head, stated
he hoped all employers would cooper
ate in maintaining standards of fair
competition in commercial and labor
relations which had been written into
the codes to eliminate dishonest, frau
dulent trade practices and unfair COM
petition in over-working and under
paying labor.
At the same time legislation enab-
ling debt-burdened farmers to obtain a
partial five-year moratorium on their
mortgage debts was blasted off the
statute books by the Supreme Court.
Unanimously the high tribunal held
the Frazier-Lemke act unconstitu-
tional, saying: "For the fifth amend
ment commands that however great
the nations need, private property
shall not be thus taken even for a
wholly public use, without just COM
pensation."

SECOND ANNUAL COOKING
SCHOOL TO BE CONDUCTED
Will Be Under Auspices of The
Republican, In Cooperation
With MOnOngahela System
EVERYTHING TO BE FREE

Plans are under way for the holding
of the second annual cooking school
and household conference by The Re-
publican in cooperation with the Mon
ongahela system, merchants and other
business men in Oakland and two
wholesale houses in Terra Alta, West
Virginia.
The school will be held in the Mary
land Theatre, Oakland, on Wednesday,
Thursday and Friday, June IL, Is and
IA. Doors will be open each day at
lis o'clock promptly and the lectures
and demonstrations will start at two
o'clock.
Miss Edith E. Humphrey, home
economist with the Monongahela West
Penn Public Service Company, will be
in charge. Miss Humphrey is a gradu-
ate of Ohio University and Ohio State
University. She has had special train
ing at Smith College and studied foods
at The Gordon Bleu, only French cook
ing school, in Paris, France.
"The school is not to teach the ladies
to cook" Miss Humphrey emphasized,
"but to give housewives new ideas
about menus, marketing, food prepa-
ration and cold cooking. Not only will
there be lectures and demonstrations
on the planning and preparation of
meals, the proper arrangement and
distribution of household duties, but
there will be practical demonstrations
of how the most successful hostesses
entertain for many occasions. There
will be three different table setting
demonstrations-one for breakfast,
one for luncheon and one for formal
dinner"
On the first day of the school there
will be short motion picture showing
a trip to Bermuda.
Everything will be absolutely free.
One of the many features of the school
will be the distribution of a number
of valuable prizes at each session. A
number of local merchants and whole
sale houses in nearby towns are coop
Grating in this school.
An effort will be made to cover as
much ground as possible during the
three sessions.
Preparations of frozen desserts will
be shown and visitors will see how
the modern electric refrigerator can be
made an active help in the manage
men of kitchen as can also the use
of an electric range.
1t is the hope of this newspaper that
every woman in this section will at
tend all the sessions. The Maryland
Theatre, which is being remodeled at
this time, will be completed in time
for the cooking school, when more
comfortable seating will be available
to those attending.
The school is absolutely free. No
strings are attached to the prizes that
will be given away. No attempt will be
made to sell anything to those attend
ing. The school will be given over en-
tirely to instruction and demonstra-
tions. Several hundred women were in
attendance upon the three-day period
