Famous Baseball Players Here
To Do Some Hunting

Perhaps a lot of people wonder
what baseball players do in the Win
ter time. Garrett county people know
what at least two of them are doing
today and did yesterday-they go
hunting.
For several years Robert Lefty
Grove, native of Homecoming, has been
coming to Garrett county to hunt
Now another famous baseball star
is added to the list. He is Charlie KEEL
Ter, of Frederick, Md, who was termed
the "hero" of the 1889 World Series.
Both Grove and Keller came to Oak
land yesterday to get into the woods
on the first day of the hunting season,
and are registered at a local hotel.
Keller is a graduate of the University
of Maryland and is playing with the
New York Yankees. Grove, former
player for the worlds champion Phil
adelphia Athletics several years ago,
now is playing with Boston.

Reconsiders Resignation; Church
to Use Presbyterian Property

Rev. David C. Trimble, rector of
St. Matthews Episcopal Parish, who
resigned several weeks ago to accept
a charge in Texas, effective October

Arrangements have been made with
the trustees of the Presbyterian
church for use of the property this
winter by the Episcopal congregation,
for all church services.
The interior will undergo some re-
decorating and renovating and the
furnace will have to be repaired before
services begin. The Presbyterian

Parish house, will be moved back to
the church when the improvements
are completed.
There have been no regular services
in the Presbyterian church since the

5000 MARYLAND TEACHERS
URGED TO DEFEND TRUTH
Many Garrett County Instructors
Attend Meeting In Baltimore

School teachers were pictured as
Americas safeguard of Democracy at
the meeting of the State Teachers
Association, held last Friday and
Saturday in Baltimore, and the three
thousand who attended were urged to
hold fast to their freedom to teach
the truth.
at is the misuse and lack of proper
education of the principles of democ-
racy that has opened the doors to
present-day dictators," said Wendell
E. Dunn, president of the association.
at is impossible to separate democ-
racy and education as they are at
once the result of each other"
Last Friday the teachers had gen.
eral meetings and conference sessions
with their annual business meeting

tor of the National Youth Admins

MEETINGS TO DETERMINE
AVAILABLE MILK SUPPLY
Farmers Being Presented Cues
tiOnare Which Will Give Milk
Company Basis For Decision
MAY BUILD PLANT HERE

Three meetings last night, three
meetings tonight, and two meetings
tomorrow throughout the county will
determine whether or not the farmers
are DESTROYS of having an additional
and permanent market for their milk
supply. The survey is being conducted
by group of business men of Oakland
so that a specific report can be made
to the Carnation Company which is
contemplating the construction of a
milk receiving station here.
Meetings were held last night at
Ryan's Glade grange hall, Accident
High school, Red House school, and
Oakland High school,. Tonight the
meetings are to be held at the Swan
ton school, Sunnyside Grange Hall and
Friendsville High school, and tomor-
row evening, November 3, they will be
held at the Bittinger school and the
Grantsville school. All meetings are
at 7:30 p. m.
The plan was explained last week by
Vern P. Melhuish, field representative
for the Carnation Company. The pro-
posed receiving station here, which
would be at least a $4,000 structure,
is merely part of an expansion pro-
gram being conducted. If the surveys
now being conducted are favorable,
there is to be condensing plant at
Clarksburg, w. Va The Oakland sta
ton would be center for Preston coun-
ty, w. Va, Somerset county, Pa, and
Garrett county.
A preliminary report in Clarksburg
showed farmers in that section willing
to double their herds if they were as
sured regular outlet for their milk
supply. A partial survey showed that
$50 Harrison county farmers MIXED
4,072 cows in 1889 and were willing to
add 1895 COWS during 1910. Seven
hundred and forty expressed willing
ness to give the condensery 6o-day
trial within 80 days after it begins
operation. The condensery would re-
quire a daily supply of $4,000 to Co.,
900 pounds of milk to begin operations
there.
Mr.. Melhuish stated last week the
receiving station here would need
daily supply of at least 10000 pounds
of milk to begin operations.
The QUESTIONABLE being presented to
the farmers is not a contract, for the
company requires no contracts, but is
to give the company basis upon
which to make a decision.

A letter from the national head
quarters points out that with Europe
at war an entirely different light is
placed on the coming roll call. Last
April delegates to the national conven-
ton in Washington voted for an in
crease of million new members as a
measure of preparedness for emer-
gency. The letter continues, "That
emergency is now here in spite of all
our hopes and prayers for peace. The
added responsibilities placed on the
Red Cross because of the war in
Europe-and they have already as
sumed sizeable proportions and give
every indication of becoming greater
make it imperative that a maxi
mum number of people in the United
States become Red Cross members. "

year and gave prizes to deserving
ones, regardless of their costume. II
former years prizes had been awarded
for certain pre-arranged characters
The celebration, arranged as an out
let for those boisterous children and
young people who might otherwise
turn into vandals for the evening, evil
IDENTIFY had it's effect, as there appeared
to be hardly any soaping of windows
in the business section, and no reports
of any destruction of property have
been made. In some secluded sections
there was window marking and in one
instance colored chalk marks covered
some recently painted white shingles.
A dance at the Manhattan Hotel
following the parade was only fairly
well attended.

SAVE-A-LIFE CAMPAIGN
BEING CONDUCTED HERE
Annual Inspection OF AutomO-
biles Got Under Way Yester-
day; To Continue Until Dec. Is
1900 STATIONS IN STATE

The annual save-a-life automobile
inspection campaign in Maryland got
under way yesterday. The inspection is
made for faulty brakes, lights, steer
ing or other mechanical defects, and
will continue until December Is.
During the past eleven years there
has always been a fifteen-day extern
sion period granted to persons who
have failed to comply with this law,
but Motor Commissioner w. Lee Elgin
has decided that the extension in the
past has just meant that a certain
group Of people put this safety meas
ure off until the very last minute. This
year there will be no extension of
time.
approximately twelve hundred in
spection stations are located through
out the State to make examination of
cars and trucks, and number Of them
are in Garrett county.
"Maryland's highway fatalities rank
among the highest in the country" the
Commissioner declared. "This condi-
ton is to be deplored l cannot impress
too strongly upon all owners the i'm
portance of a stringent campaign"
1t will be impossible to secure new
license plates unless motorists can
show proof when making application
for them that they have fully complied
with the rules of inspection.
Last year more than $4,000 owners
in Maryland failed to have their auto
mobiles inspected by the time the
campaign and inspection period had
expired Several thousand of these
were summoned into the office of the
Commissioner of Motor Vehicles to
explain their delinquency.
Mr.. Elgin pointed out that the cam
paign was designed to protect the
careful motorist and to force thought
less ones to protect themselves.
The examination is to concentrate
upon brakes, lights horn, steering
mechanism, windshield wipers, mir
rors, tires and windshields, and any
automobile or truck found unsafe or
with a mechanical defect must be put
in safe condition before an official in
spection sticker will be attached on the
machine.
The number of inspection stations
has been decreased this year, as sew
eral stations that passed out stickers
without any examinations being made,
have been taken from the list, accord
ing to Mr.. Elgin.

ART EXHIBIT ARRANGED
FOR NOVEMBER 6, Z AND s
Will Be Conducted In The Oak
land High School Auditorium

The third annual Garrett County
Art Exhibit will be held November 6,
7 and 8 at the Oakland High school
auditorium. The exhibit will be open
from a. m. to p. m. on Monday and
Tuesday, November and 7, and from
$3.50 a. m. to p. m. on Wednesday,
November 8.
The exhibition will not be centered
around painting and drawing alone,
but will include a number of crafts
common in Garrett county. Many
colorful rugs and quilts will be dis
played. Furniture built in Garrett
county homes will also be an i'm
portant part of the exhibition. Other
crafts represented will be wood cary
ing, sculpture, pottery, and crochet
work.
Art in the schools of Garrett county
was established in 1887 in the Oakland
High and Elementary schools. Since
that time, art courses have been added
to the curricula of the high schools of
Grantsville, Friendsville, and Accident.
The annual art exhibition affords a
means of displaying the talent and the
progress being made by the students
Of Garrett county.
The first exhibition of county art
was held in 1887 at the Episcopal
Parish house in Oakland. Work by
school children formed the bulk of the
first art show. In 1888, the exhibition
was again held in the Parish house.
More interest and cooperation were
shown that year, and the exhibition
was a greater success. In 1889, the
exhibit promises to be not only more
representative than former exhibitions,
but also more interesting because Of a
wider range of arts and crafts which
it will include.
