These seems to be no doubt
about it. Bears can think and act
nationally. Endless is the evil
dence, not only of their Sagacity,
but of their good nature and
friendliness when they are de-
Gently treated.
The National Parks have been
wonderful laboratories for study
ing their habits and capacities.
Here are a few items: a mother
bear will scoop out all the salmon
she can get from a tin can. Then
she will summon a cub, pick up
a rock, put the can with the
opening downward on the ground
and tap the can with the rock
to loosen bits of salmon which
she couldn't reach with her paw.
Then she hands the rock to the
cub so he can learn how to do it.
In the winter time, the bears
pick out long, smooth coaSting
hills. Side by side they will slide
down, sitting on their launches, at
terrific speed, a mother often
carrying her cub or teaching him
to slide on shorter course,
When, a grizzly starts digging to

When the beavers are frolicking,
the bears will gather and look on,

A bear, when pursued, will turn
around, walk backward and care

circle back, hide in the brush anc

when he goes swimming-and he
is an excellent swimmer-he viii
carry a cub on his back.
Powerful bear families stake
out their own roads and use them
exclusively, and each will keep tt

Socialism Versus
Americanism

Said Governor Alfred M. Landon in his speech at
Portland, Me-, Saturday:
ave hare but to look across the lUGters to see
the consequences OF government domination OUer
economic life. Step by step living standards haze
fallen. Productivity has decreased. Human De-
ings haze become more and more dependent upon
government Which in turn has become less and
less able to take care of them.
"POWer of this magnitude is dangerous from
the economic as IUeLL as from the political point
hbIe to justify giving him cOntrO-either in
private business or in gOUernment-OUer the
standard of living; the savings and the destiny
of his feLIOW citizens When the decision of one
man affects an entire country, a WrOng decision
means national disaster.
"Business men, saLaried workers, lUage earners,
farmers nOIU recognize that centralized govern
n1ent management of their affairs has failed.
They recognize that special privilege to one group
merely creates demand for special privileges by
every other group able to exert political pressure.
"IF YOU DO NOT BELIEVE THIS, YOU
HAD BETTER NOT VOTE FOR ME-"
Seldom does candidate advise people not to vote for
him unless they agree with him. but this Governor Ian
don has doneand thereby given proof of his confidence
in 'The American Way of life and the fundamental
soundness of the American people.
With most of the nations of Europe on the brink of
of political and economic disaster under Fascist or Com
munist relationships, the Governors appeal to this
nation to BE AMERICAN brings quick response from
every believer in democratic self government.
Mr. Roosevelts attempt to change this country from
democracy to socalistic dictatorship already has
aienated large elements Of the Democratic party.
Only last week the Baltimore Sun'-for ninety nine
years of the leading Democratic organs of the
ton reluctantly announced that it could no longer sup
port the the President the UNDEMOCRATIC form
of government which he and his Socialist advisers were
forcing the country Millions of genuine Democrats
feel the same.
The issue is clear-socialism colectivism COM
munism or the other Brain Trust "isms" against
AMERICANISM
This issue Governor Landon has put squarely up to
the people, and has won the RESPECT of the people
by declaring in plain language that anybody who be-
leves in foreign "isms" instead of Americanism HAD

Observation-Disclosures
FOR POSSESSION OF STILL
Proper Attire For Attending an
"Apple Cutting" Features Trial

The proper attire for attending an
"apple cutting" featured the trial of
Harry o. Rodeheaver, As, of this coun-
ty, who appeared in the United States
District Court at Cumberland Mon
day morning when he was arraigned
before Judge William C. Chestnut.
Rodeheaver was charged with pos
sessing a 40-gallon still in the woods
near the Potomac CCC camp near
Deer Park. Rodeheaver denied the
charge, asserting he was walking to
nearby farm to attend an "apple
peeling" party, and stopped at the
deserted still to get some liquor when
he was caught by the officers.
The fact that he was wearing old
clothes when he was arrested was
cited by District Attorney Bernard ].
Flynn in an attempt to prove that he
was not enroute to a party, but in
tended to operate the still. Edward j.
Ryan, defense counsel, remarked that
stop hat and tails" were unknown in
the Garrett county hills, and that
formal attire at rural social functions
consisted of a clean face and hands.
Denies Ownership
Rodeheaver said the still was owned
by man known to him as Ed Walls,
of Rowlesburg, West Va, and that he
found the still one day while walking
over the mountain.
Federal agents testified that Rode
HEAVIER, following his arrest, admitted
ownership of the still and mash. They
said they escorted him to his mothers
home and that she remarked: "I knew
they would get you if you made liquor"
The agents quoted Redeheaver as re-
plying that the only reason he made
moonshine was to get money to pay
his doctor bills.
The jury acquitted Rodeheaver after
brief elaboration.

ney on Monday morning after group
of people, said to have been from the
vicinity of Washington, Pa, spent a

of Deep Greek Lake, east of the big
bridge, entirely in the nude. Their Ian
guage was also said not to have beer
of the best.
AS no names of the parties were
learned, no arrests for indency were

tons will be taken against any recur-
renee of similar practices.

Fined For Fishing For Bass Out
Of Season

Richard Fahey and Joseph Breigh-
ner, Cumberland, charged with fish
ing for black bass out of season, were
fined $40 and costs each, the minimum
amount, at hearing before Justice G..
F. White on Saturday.
Fahey and Breighner claimed they
were within the law as a copy of the
fishing laws which they had carried
the old regulations about fishing in
Deep Creek where they were placed
under arrest.
The new law, which was put into
effect this spring by the State Conser-
walton Commission under an act of the
Legislature, does not declare open
season for bass in Deep Creek Lake
until July 1. The old law permitted
fishing for all game and fresh water
fish in Deep Creek Lake from April
1 to August Is.
Elmer Haulenbeek, game warden at
the lake, who made the arrests, stated
there were numerous signs placed
along the lake shore relative to the
new regulations. Fahey and Breighner
admitted having seen the placards but
not having read them.
The fines and costs were paid and
the two men were dismissed. They had
caught two bass weighing approx
mately two pounds each.

SOIL CONSERVATION TO Be
EXPLAINED AT MEETINGS
County Agent Says Program Is
Entirely Different From Any
Previous Federal Plan
is ENTIRELY VOLUNTARY

Complete instructions for conduct
ing the soil conservation program
have been received by John H. Carter,
county agent, who will inaugurate the
program at Oakland with a meeting
on Monday night, May Is, in the Oak
land High school auditorium.
Paul E. Nystrom, assistant county
agent leader, will be in charge of the
first meeting. Mr.. Nystrom will ex-
plain the entire program and go into
details about special problems, Mr..
Carter said.
The soil conservation program is
entirely different from any previous
program, he pointed out, as there are
no agreements or contracts to be
signed, and farmers are in no way
obligated to any one. The govern
ment is making grants to farmers
provided they follow good farm prac-
tees on their farm land, sowing
grasses, sowing legumes, strip farm
ing, blowing under green manure, etc.
1t is possible for a farmer to receive
as much as $14 per acre for sowing
alfalfa for his own use or sowing
soybeans to be plowed under to i'm
prove the soil, he said.
All farmers are urged to attend one
of the five meetings that are to be
held in the county next week, to see
whether or not he feels the program
will help. Farm people should under
stand the program, Mr.. Carter said,
even if they do not want to accept
any benefits to be had.
While it is most desirable to attend
the Oakland meeting, farmers may
attend the meeting most convenient
for him. The meetings will be as
follows:
Oakland, High school, Monday, May
Is, p. m.
Sunnyside, Grange Hall, Tuesday,
May 10, p. m.
Friendsville, High school, Wednes-
day, May 20, p. m.
