FILLING STATION DESTROYED

Fire of undetermined origin de-
stroyed the gasoline filling station OF
Logan Brothers, at Charlestown,

The barking of watch dog left

who investigated and discovered the
building on fire. The dog was
rescued and the North East fire com

AN APPEAL FOR THE PRESER.
WALTON OF WILDLIFE

The State Game Department of
Maryland, realizing the necessity of
d winter feeding program for wild
life, in December 1895 appealed TO
Mr.. Robert Fechner, Director of the
emergency Conservation Work, I'M
der whose supervision the CCC
Camps operate. We suggested that
the superintendent of the CCC
Camps in Maryland be instructed to
Guild feeding stations throughout
their numerous areas and supply a
dinner-table by furnishing grain at
these stations for the preservation of
wildlife during the winter. This
appeal was also taken up by the u.
5. Forest Service and the State For
estry Department of Maryland.
Without doubt, we have expert
enced one of the severest winters for
wildlife that has occurred in Mary
land since 1917 and without the as
sistance of the human hand, wildlife
would have been entirely exterminat-
ed in a great many sections. We
now appeal to the general public, not
only in the sections where the CCC
Camps are located but throughout
the State, to make a contribution of
grain to these camps in assisting
them to carry out their program, as
| it seems the Federal Government did
not make suitable arrangements for
the distribution of grain thru either
the Emergency Conservation Work
or the Forestry Department.
Therefore, we would appreciate it
very much if persons would contact
the superintendent of the CCC
Camps and offer to make contribu-
lions of grain for the benefit of saw
ing wildlife for broodstock for the
coming propagating season.

BURNED BY BLAZING OIL

Cliff. Keys, colored, employed at
the garage of Dinsmore Brothers in
this town, was painfully burned
about the head Thursday morning,
when he threw some waste oil in the

Former Gov. Albert G. Richie died
suddenly at his apartment in Balti-

contender for the Democratic presi-
GENITAL nomination at the 1892 con-

ABOUT LAS a. M, less than two hours
alter he was stricken.
Funeral services were conducted
Wednesday at p. m. at Christ
Protestant Episcopal Church by the
TT. Rev. Edward T. Helfenstein,
Bishop of the Protestant Episcopal
dlocese, and the Rev. S. Thorne
oparkman, rector of the church.
Albert c.. Richie was born in
Richmond, Va, August 20, 1876.
His mother was Elizabeth Caskie
Cabell Richie, whost family furnish
ed many men distinguished in public
service in Virginia. His father was
Judge Albert Richie, native Mary
lander OF distinction.
Young Richie, the only child of
ais parents, was educated in the
private schools of Baltimore, at Johns
hopkins University and the Univers-
lty of Maryland law school.
When 81, he married Elizabeth
Catherine Baker, of Gainesville, Md.
they were divorced nine years later
and Richie never remarked. They
nad no children.
Richie was admitted to the bar in
1896 and, like his father, an uncle
and other members Of his family, inn
mediately became active in politics.
IN 1903 he became assistant city
solicitor of Baltimore, a post his
lather had held. He served in it for
seven years. Then he became assist
ant genral counsel for the state
police service commission. He en-
oered the race for attorney general OF
maryland and won the post by COM
lortable primary and general election
majorlties in 1915.
He was granted a leave of absence
from his post of attorney general
IN 1917 to become legal adviser to
The Federal war industries board.
Ritchie's chance at the governor
ship came in 1919, when the Demo-
Gratis gave him the nomination with
out opposition. The vote was so
close that the result was not known
lor several days.
The official count showed Richie
The winner by 165 votes. The Re-
publican he conquered was Harry w.
4Nice-the man who Is years later
wrested the governorship from him
and ended his long political ascend
ency in the state.
Before his regime ended, Richie
went from one victory to another.
No man before him had ever been
elected to second term as governor
put the voters swept him into Office
four times in succession.
Unsuccessful in his 1882 bid for
the presidential nomination, Richie
sought a fifth term as governor OF
Maryland. His defeat by a Republi-
can in 1884 was a novel and disap-
pointing experience for him.
1t was his first at the polls in a
32-year public career beginning as
assistant city solicitor Of Baltimore.
For Is years, he had been governor

Yes, my fellow Americans, am
afraid the real leadership Of the Re-

and learned nothing from the great
economic crisis through which he have
just passed. Make no mistake, no
matter who the party nominee for
President may be, the old reaction
aries are determined to control the
