Valentines Tell Old, Old Story,
Just The Same

Valentines for 1888 are clipped and
modern to some extent, but they tell
the old, old story, just the same. Ex-
travagant sentiment and ELUSIVE mes
sages are gone, but the 81 Love You
idea runs through them all, though
often it's in slang.
You can't do away with hearts in
the decorations, but all aren't bright
red this year. Some are in shades of
blue or grey, and orchid. Sometimes
they're outlined with gold or silver.
Notable among this years valen-
tines is the increasing number Of
cards for exchange between husband
and wife, these in the business say.
Also striking is the number of cards
for girls to send to their boy friends.
They're not waiting for Leap Year.
Some of them suggest romantic re-
gard and others are in the frank
spirit of warm affection.
The form may be different, but the
spirit of st. Valentine is like it has
been for ages and ages.

MAXIMUM TRUCK LOADS
REDUCED BY COMMISSION
Trucks Weighing More Than
10000 Pounds Cannot Travel;
Route PIG Included In Order
WINTER BRINGS DAMAGES

The Maryland State Roads Commits
sion in busy session on Tuesday, or
dered drastic reductions in truck
weights on the State roads, warned
its engineers to watch for "loafing"
on WPA roads projects and decided to
press demands for restoration of sala-
ries to all roads employees whose pay
was cut in 1888.
By unanimous resolutions the Com
mission reduced truck weights from
$4,000 pounds to 10000 pounds, in
Guiding load and trucks, for a ninety
day period on sections of highway af-
fecting all but two of the main roads
through the State.
Chief Engineer Nathan L. Smith
announced that Route PIG, from Key
ser Ridge through Oakland to Red
House. in this county, was one Of those
in the State which are to be closed
within the next few days to trucks
weighing more than 10000 pounds.
Serious Damage To Roads
Stress of winter weather conditions,
occasioned by freezing and thawing of
recent weeks, has caused Serious fail
ure" in many highways, DR.. Homer E.
Tabler, commission chairman, told
other members of the Commission,
"Unless we cut these weights immedi-
ately," he warned, well spend every
cent we have in repairing them after
winter is over"
DR.. Tabler sponsored a resolution
directing the chief engineer to warn
commission junior engineers to make
periodic inspection of WPA projects
sponsored by the roads unit. He said
he found work progressing "altogeth-
er too slowly" on a project in Allie
gany county and another in Washing
ton county He threatened to with
draw sponsorship wherever engineers
reported project moving too slowly.
The Roads Commission now sup
plies equipment, trucks and supervis-
ion for WPA projects it sponsors,
charging costs Of such supplies to the
roads funds of the county in which
each project is located.

SOIL EROSION IS TOPIC
FOR MEETING ON TUESDAY
RefOrestatiOn And Production of
Christmas Trees by Local PeO-
pie Also to be Discussed
MEETING is AT SWANTONG :

Soil erosion, reforestation and the
commercial production of Christmas
trees, will be subjects discussed at
a group meeting of farmers and other
interested citizens in the school house
at Swanton, next Tuesday evening,
February Is, at 7:3O.
Deforestation of the countryside,
which is being carried on so rapidly,
has created a serious problem for the
present and the future, and Garrett
county is no exception in this country,
according to John H. Carter, county
agent, who will speak that evening on
the subject of Land Conservation"
Another speaker will be Rudolf F.
Booming, for several years connected
with the Federal government con-
servation work in this country and in
Germany. Mr.. Booming received his
forest training and apprenticeship
over a period of four years in Ger
many and also spent two years in
the forests of Siberia while a prison
err of war. Mr.. Booming will tell of
forestation work in Europe as it has
been carried on for many years, and
will show how the proper care of the
forest will bring in substantial finan-
cial returns.
Mr.. Carter stated that number Of
Garrett countians had been talking
lately of the possibility Of starting
up a Christmas tree industry in this
section as is now being done on a
large scale in some Of the northern
states and in Canada. Some of the
trees sold here during Christmas this
past season were shipped from the
north, he pointed out.
This county has the soil and climate
to produce trees commercially on a
large scale and this question will
also be discussed at the meeting on
Tuesday evening. All citizens who
are interested are invited to attend.

their respective communities. Char
ley B. Miller, president Of the orga-

FARMERS PREPARE TO GET
1888 FLOW OF MAPLE SAP
Unreasonable Weather Causing
Sap to Flow Earlier Than Usual

The unreasonable weather for the
second straight year has the maple
syrup producers Cup one of their
trees" They don't quite know the
outcome but are certain that the
warm weather has started the maple
sap to moving and that they must
begin their work earlieer than usual
this year.
John Horchler, two miles north of
Grantsville, opened his camp last
week and reported a good flow. Farm
ers throughout the Grantsville, Bit
finger, Accident and Ryan's Glade
sections of the county, where sugar
maple groves are located, are now
preparing for the 1888 flow of sap.
Usually they don't open their camps
until the latter part of February.
If warm weather continues the
producers are fearful of a short and
improbable season. Warm days and
cold nights are necessary to make a
good season, and a season usually
lasts six weeks.
The sugar and syrup making in
dustry provides a good source of in
come annually to about 1875 farmers
of the county. Some of the large
trees yield possibly as much as SIS
in revenue each year, and it is esti-
mated that the maple sugar industry
in the county amounts to about $751;
900 annually.
