How much do you as a
= voter know about the cam
didates you will vote for in
the coming primaries?
How important is it to you
as a voter to know who you
vote for? Or do you care?
Now is the opportunity to
vote for legislators who are
willing to commit themselves
to state law that will help
everybody.
No one so far has proposed
generally this kind of a law !:
One that will require every
person seeking public office
not only to give his name,
age and address, but to give,
in addition, all the essential
facts which a voter should
have at his command in order
to make a discriminating Sc
lection.
There is no sound reason
for not requiring of candl-
dates as much information
about who they are and what
they have been doing as is
required by any average citl-
zen when he applies for reg

at the bank. or even what Is
asked by a U. S. census of an
average householder.
Under existing laws of the
y state and its cities, any
body who has the filing fee
can file candidacy for any
office. The question Of wheth-
err he is a citizen or not may
even be postponed until it

Warmer Weather In Sight

Warmer weather is in sight fol-
the weekend here as skies are clear
ing and the temperature is rising. APP
parently the cold spell of the past
several days is breaking up.
While there has been only a few
inches of snow during the past week,
strong winds have whipped it about
into serious drifts along the country
roads, making a number of them i'm
passable. All State roads, however
have been open and well cindered.
Monday was the coolest morning of
the week, according to the registra-
ton at the Government station at
Weber's, with the thermometer just
at zero. Tuesday showed above;
Wednesday, 5 above and this morn
ing it dropped again to three above
During all four days, however
the temperature did not get above
Is at any time during the day. Usu-
ally the thermometer during the day
stood at 10 above.

Majority of Calendar Makers
Apparently Anti-New Deal

The impression gathered from an
inspection of newly received calendars
is that calendar makers aren't much
in favor of the Presidents New Deal
Thanksgiving.
A few were diplomatic, but the ma
jority were outspoken in their opinion.
Their opinion, by the way was given
by figures and not by words.
Practically every calendar that
used red or figures little out of the
ordinary from the usual run on the
calendars, had Thanksgiving Day on
November %, the last Thursday in
that month, in spite of the Presidents
threat to change the 1910 Thanksgiv-
ing to November 81.
Calendars received from New York,
Pennsylvania and Maryland carried
the 28th as the holiday. A number of
theose received carried no special
Identification for any holidays. Only
one calendar, however, that of a COM
pany operating over large part Of
the country, showed diplomacy par
excellence. 1t had both November 81
and November % marked in red.

COMMISSIONERSAT WORK
PREPARING ANNUAL LEVY
To Be Completed This Week But
Tax Rate for 40 Will Not Be
Known Until Work is Over
RATE LAST YEAR WAS $1.15

The laying of the annual levy by
the Garrett County Commissioners
will be completed this week, but the
work has not far enough advanced by
this morning for any of the three
Commissioners to estimate what the
tax rate was going to be. 'It won't
be any more than is absolutely nee
essary," one of the men stated, as he
busted himself with figures over this
and that budget and pile of bills for
which funds must be provided out Of
the 1910 levy.
Problems facing the Commissioners
at their task this week are many. The
law makes it necessary that they levy
for everything that is to be paid out
in 1910, except emergencies, refunds
on taxes collected, ETC., which can
come out of the contingent fund.
State laws have much to do with
what the County Commissioners must
levy. State laws provide that the min
imum rate for schools this year shall
be 81 cents. The 1889 legislature pas
sed a law making it mandatory to
build a school at Bloomington, so the
Commissioners must levy $4,000 for
the building and several thousand
more for the heating system and furn-
ishings.
Other laws relating to all kinds of
relief make it mandatory for the Com
missioners to provide so much for old
age pensions, aid to dependent chill
dren, Maryland Children's Aid, etc.,
before any state or federal allotments
are made available. The State Welfare
Board requests so much money for
direct relief, all of which the county
must furnish.
State laws cover about 80 percent
of the entire levy, so that the Com
missioners have the say in only about
20 percent of the entire amount of the
levy.
Last year the estimated revenue
was about $25O,O00, and to obtain this
amount it was found necessary to
make tax rate of $1.15.
The levy must be made by January
10, according to law.

Fire Damages Home of Mrs
Harry White, Oak Street

Fire from defective fiue early this
morning caused damage to the extent
of about 81, 500 to the home of Mrs.
Harry White, on Oak street, and des-
truction of the entire house was avert
ed only by the promp work of the Oak
land Fire Department.
The fire began in the basement and
quickly spread up the walls adjacent
to the chimney on all floors. Only one
room, however, that of Mrs. Whites,
vas greatly burned, while water used
in extinguishing the blaze caused dam
age to several, including the large
dining room and kitchen.
The fire was discovered by Mrs.
White. She and several roomers at
tempted to fight the flames, but they
soon got beyond control and an alarm
was sent in. Firemen continued to
fight the blaze until five or six o'clock
this morning.
Mrs. White had fourteen roomers
and some of them moved into homes Of
neighbors for the night. The west
side of the house was not damaged and
temporary repairs are being made to-
day which will enable Mrs. White to
continue serving meals.

PLAYGROUND FOR WINTER
PORTS ATTRACTS CROWD
opening Of New Germany Rec
cation Area Hailed AS Unqual-
flied Success By Supervisor
SWISS OFFICIAL PRAISES

The opening of Maryland's
lew winter play ground received
q variety of comment in various
newspapers, and it is evident
that quite a number of those who
enjoy winter sports were present
over the weekend and that a
lot of them enjoyed themselves in try
ing for the first time the forest ski
trails and the skating on the arti
fetal lake there.
The opening of the New Germany
recreation area was hailed as an un-
qualified success by its supervisor,
Matthew E. Martin. He reported that
J73 persons were on hand for it's first
weekend program. The near-zero
weather, however, kept quite num-
Der away, it was thought.
Among the visitors was Walter Ro-
dell, consular attache at the Swiss Lee
cation in Washington, who told Mr..
Martin that he considered New Ger
many "better than Lake Placid"
With Mr.. Rodell were his wife and
four children, all of them winter sports
experts.
Delegations were on hand from ski
4 clubs in Washington and Baltimore
! and one Washington party of four
teen stayed over until Tuesday.
Skiing featured the weekend with
most of the visitors giving praise to
: ski trails and runways. A section
5 the New Germany lake was cleared
snow to permit skating.
Some time ago the Forestry Depart.
Is emit, with the aid of CCC youths,
ia Instructed ski and bobsled trails on
Il. ieadow Mountain. The New Germany
Il axe for ice skating had been made
" members in a former CCC camp
here. The project was completed sew
l eral weeks ago.
J. AS a part of the Forestry Depart
Il ment's program, it provides three
mile ski trail down the face of Mea-
a daw Mountain, toboggan OF sled trail
q down the present Big Run road, and a
skating rink on the lake, six miles
N from the mountain.
The State Roads Commission en-
'ployes opened the road leading to the
e International area, off U. S. Route 40,
4 east of Grantsville. Some newspaper
fpeople from Cumberland apparently
took the wrong road and arrived at
81 The camp only after several strenuous
Lhours' of pushing through huge snow
fdrifts.

Farmers Seeking FSA Loans
Should Apply Now

Application should be made now by
eligible farmers for rehabilitation
loans, according to Harry L. Porter,
supervisor of the Farm Security Ad-
ninistration. Eligible farmers, he
stated, include those unable to obtain
necessary operating credit from the
usual sources and who are willing to
place their farms on an efficient oper-
ating basis under trained supervision.
Individual plans for each farmer
who applies often take considerable
time to prepare, and every spring
many applicants are turned away be-
cause it is too late. Mr.. Porter handles
requests for assistance in Garrett and
Allegany counties from his office at
Grantsville.
Loans are made for purchase of live
stock, equipment, feed, seed, and other
production articles.
