CAMPAIGN is LAUNCHED
AGAINST CHICKEN THIEVES
Over Hundred Farmers In COun-
ty Have Had Poultry TatOOed

More than one hundred farmers and
poultry raisers in Garrett county have
had their poultry and live stock tattoed
during the past week as a preventive
against theft.
The plan adopted in this county is
the national plan, which is being
worked in other counties of the state,
and is part of concentrated cam
paign by Maryland farm leaders
against poultry thievery within the
state.
Each farmer and poultry raiser will
be called on once and the plan will be
explained to him. The brands that
are used by the farmers will be regis
tered with the Sheriff and State police
in Maryland and adjacent states.
Farmers will also be provided with a
large flock sign warning thieves to
beware.
A group met with Major Enoch B.
Carey, superintendent of the State
police, in Baltimore, on Monday, at the
request of Governor Harry w. Nice,
for the express purpose of inaugural
ing a program for stamping out poul-
try thefts. A legislative program is
being planned and the group recon-
mended that publicity be given the
campaign through the Grange and the
state farm bureau, as we'll as through
county agents.
Major Carey said there had been no
appreciate increase in poultry thievry,
but that he felt action should be taken
Immediately to protect farmers from
losses they have suffered in the past.

AUTUMN LEAF EXCURSION
WILL END UP AT OAKLAND
and Washington Ex-
cursionists to Have Chance
to See Tree Foliage Here
600 TO 700 ARE EXPECTED

An excursion train which will bring
between 600 and 700 people to Oak
land to see the autumn foliage, is now
being arranged for by the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad, it was announced
this morning by Lawrence M. Fraley,
mayor of Oakland.
The Autumn Leaf Excursion would
bring people here from Baltimore and
Washington, to remain during two or
more hours of the afternoon, when
automobile trips would be planned by
Oakland citizens for those who cared
to take drive to Swallow Falls, Deep
Creek Lake, Table Rock, or other pla-
ces of interest.
The train would arrive in Oakland
on Sunday afternoon, October 25, Mr.
Fraley stated.
The excursion is being planned
through Mayor Fraley and the Town
Council, with M. w. Grove, travelling
passenger agent of the Baltimore &
Ohio railroad. The railroad company
will place advertising in Baltimore
and Washington concerning the trip
and further details will be announced
next week. Mr.. Fraley is arranging
for two or three bands to give con-
certs here for passengers not caring
to take the drive.
A committee is to be appointed to
arrange for the automobiles. Approx
mately 100 cars will be necessary, it
was estimated.
The Baltimore and Ohio railroad is
launching an advertising campaign
and expects to include advertising of
Oakland and its climate as a summer
resort in a pamphlet to be issued
soon. This work will be in charge of
Mr.. Faroat, of the B. and O., who will
Speak at a meeting of the Oakland
Rotary club, probably on Friday,
October %.
1t was the opinion OF Mr.. Fraley
that if the Baltimore and Washing
ton excursionists could be shown the
beauties of this section by short auto
mobile trips in cars of interested citi-
zens, that large percentage of them
would be induced to return here next
summer.

sion was filed with the certificates of

Boston, Mass, as the vice-presidential
candidate. A slate of eight electors
and six congressional candidates was
filed.
Jones, in returning the certificates
of nomination and the copy of the
charter, enclosed a copy of the attor-
ney generals letter.

ded to this rate for 1887.

BOARD APPOINTS TEACHER
OF SCHOOL AT FORT Hill
One of 4 Closed Schools Whose
Pupils Were On "Strike" Will
Be Re-Opened
A. S. COOK GIVES OPINION

At a meeting of the Board of Educa-
ton yesterday morning, a teacher for
the Fort Hill school was authorized,
subject to the approval of the State
Superintendent of Schools, due to the
large number of pupils attending the
North Glade school, to which the pu-
pills of the Fort Hill school commun-
ity had been transported.
Pupils of the Fort Hill school COM
munity and those of three other school
communities had been on a Strike"
since the first of the school year be-
cause their schools had been closed in
previous years and the children or
dered transported.
The decision of the Board came fol-
lowing a letter from Albert S. Cook,
state superintendent of schools, to
Stuart F. Hamill, president of the
Garrett County Board. Mr.. Hamill
had requested authority to use State
funds, heretofore used for transport
ing pupils, for the purpose of paying
the salaries of teachers to reopen the
four ne-teacher schools in question,
Fort Hill, Meadow Mountain, Dry Run
and Walnut Bottom, but was told by
Mr.. Cook that in his opinion it would
be definitely illegal to grant the re-
quest.
The letter continued, estate funds
are distributed for transportation of
children of elementary schools on the
basis of the amount of money actual
ly spent for transportation and on no
other basis; Under no condition could
money allotted to county from the
Equalization Fund for transportation
be used to pay the salaries of teach
ers.
Before any closed school may be
reopened by the County Board of Ed
ucation the necessary funds for the
salary of the additional teacher must
be provided from a county levy over
and above the Al cents required to
finance the minimum State program.
The only exception would occur in the
case of school to which children are
being transported, in which the atten-
dance is sufficient to require an addi-
tional teacher under the State Law,
and in which no additional classroom
is available"
Upon the authority of the latter
paragraph the Board authorized the
additional teacher, which means the
re-opening of the Fort Hill school.
The school was closed in 1881 and no
trouble was experienced until this
year.
An additional teacher was author
lied for the johnson school in district
9. An additional classroom is available
there.
The Board did not authorize teach
ers for any other schools due to the
fact that the attendance of pupils to
other schools to which pupils are
transported is not sufficiently large to
meet the State Law requirements, ac-
cording to F. E. Rathbun, county
superintendent. Suitable transporta-
ton facilities will be provided by the
school board as may be needed, he
stated.
The Board named Alvin Lee as jani-
tor of the Red House school. All men,
bers of the Board were present, Mr..
Hamill, Mrs. Frances F. O'Donnell,
vice-president, and ]. w. Friend,
member.
