Pair Arrested Last Week Near
UniOntOwn; Birds Recovered

Another outbreak of chicken steal
ing is thought to have been partially
checked with the arrest of two men,
Levitt Coddington and Playford Gibbs,
of Continental No. 8, Pa, who were
arrested last week near Uniontown,
Pa.
Neil c. Fraley, States Attorney,
said the two had confessed to steal
ing about so chickens from Mrs. Clara
Kester, of near Friendsville, but that
most of that number were recovered
last Wednesday night. They were ar
rested by authorities of Fayette
county, Pa, and were brought to the
Oakland jail last Saturday to await
a hearing.
Mr.. Fraley said that Earl Bowser
and Albert Silbaugh Of the Friends
vile section had also reported the loss
of about fifty chickens.
Chicken thieving has also been re-
ported in the Grantsville section but
no arrests have been made in that
neighborhood.

GOOD HOUSEKEEPING In
WOODS PAYS THE STATE
Forestry Department Now Has
Project For Retaining Left
Behind Timber" For Pulp
Wood
WORK is SHOWING PROFIT

The State Forestry Department is
demonstrating that good housekeep
ing" in the woods is paying propo-
sition in Western Maryland. The dem
onstration is in the form of project
for retaining the tree tops, limbs and
defective timber left behind by lum-
bermen who cut over tract Of 5000
acres in the Potomac State Forest,
near Deer Park, according to H. c.
Buckingham, district forester.
Usually this "slash" is left piled in
the forests, providing fuel for de-
structive forest fires.
Experiments Conducted
For several years the Forestry De-
partment has been experimenting to
see if this waste timber could not be
profitably worked into pulp wood The
Department made contracts with the
West Virginia Pulp and Paper Com
pany at Luke and then invited the
farmers of the neighborhood to un.
dertake the work in their spare time.
Six crews of about three men each
have been at work this summer and
expect to get at least 500 cords Of pulp
wood off the first thousand-acre strip
to be worked up.
Little Waste Is Left
The State, according to Bucking-
ham, collects $1.00 per cord, while the
farmers get 5000, or about $1.00 profit
over and above labor and hauling
costs.
Since all of the cut timber down to
three inches in diameter is disable fo1
pulp, the only waste material left
when the reclamation crews are fin
ished is small enough to rot up very
quickly and enrich the soil.
Of special value are the big naples
which the lumbermen felled, only to
find them no good for their purposes
because of old fire scars and frequent
tappings in bygone years for then
sap.
Purchased By State In 1881
The 6,000-acre tract in question was
purchased by the State in 1881, but
rights to all timber II inches and over
were reserved for ten years.
The big timber on the tract was
cut off by a Baltimore concern fol-
railroad ties and other timber for rail
road use. The lumbermen agreed to
give the State the waste provided they
were relieved Of further responsible
ity for getting rid of it.
The timber is chiefly oak, maple and
birch. A full stand of young timber is
coming on. Meanwhile den" trees anC
some of the big acorn producers are
being protected as boon to wildlife.

CONSTRUCTIONOF
CARNATIONPLANT
IS BEING PUSHED
Opening Tentatively Set for Sep
TENDER IS By Glenn Hoffman,
Plant Superintendent
80 MEN ARE EMPLOYED

With approximately fifty men
at work, the Carnation Company
is pushing construction on it's
new milk receiving plant, now
being erected on the former Oak
land Hotel property which the
company purchased from the
Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company several months ago.
Glenn Hoffman, plant superinten-
dent arrived in Oakland last week
and has secured an apartment in
a private home on Oak street. Mr..
Hoffman stated that the building
would be completed and the company
in all probability ready to begin re-
ceiving milk on the morning of Sep
tember Is.
Between now and September 16,
Mr. Hoffman plans to spend much of
his time with the farmers of the COM
munity arranging for milk routes and
talking over with them the opportu-
nifty that is being afforded by the es-
tablishing of permanent industry il
Oakland which will be of great benefit
to everyone within a radius of many
miles of the town.
Mr.. Hoffman said that while only
four or five men would be employed
in the receiving station at the begin
ming, twenty to twenty-five farmers
would be given places as haulers over
the various milk routes. These routes
will be studied and definitely mapped
out prior to the opening day.
The $250,000 condensery at Clarks-
burg, the largest building in the group
of three in this unit, opened about
two weeks ago and farmers delivered
$4,000 pounds of milk there on the
first day This daily delivery has al
ready increased to $4,000 pounds and
Carnation officials are more than sat-
sfied with the result, it was stated.
Mr. Hoffman said it had been the larg-
est opening day of any plant they had
in operation.
The receiving station at Cameron,
w. Va, will be completed at an early
date and they are looking for salts
factory showing there in milk receipts
upon the first day.
Several months ago when it was de-
cided by the Carnation Company that
a station would be built here, it was
stated that receipt of 10000 pounds Of
milk would be satisfactory amount
for opening day, with gradual in
crease to $4,000 pounds and even more
the first year. Mr.. Hoffman was of the
opinion that the first days receipts
would surpass 10000 pounds.
All milk will be received here from
radius of forty or more miles from
Pennsylvania, West Virginia and
Maryland, and after the cooling pro-
cess will be taken to Clarksburg in a
tank truck for condensing there.
The building being erected here is
so constructed that additions to the
plant may be made in short time
should the business expand to such ar
extent that one is needed.

YOUNG COP CLUB
MAPS FUTURE
COUNTY ACTIVITY
Meeting August rs To Be Held
AT McCOmas Beach, When Per-
manent Officers Will Be Named
CONSTITUTION ADOPTED

Details of organization, plans for
future meetings and preliminary work
toward formation of a countrywide
group, occupied the second meeting
of the Young Republican club on Mon
day evening in the City Hall, Oakland.
The next meeting, August 26th, will
be around the banquet table at Nc
Comas Beach, those present Monday
night decided, at which time perma-
nent officers will be chosen and other
business discussed The dinner will
be so cents per plate.
The club members looked into the
near future and made tentative plans
for a banquet sometime in late Sep
TENDER or October, when the Republi-
can candidate for the United States
Senate, Harry w. Nice, and the candi-
date for the House, Walter P. John
son, would be present as well as ma
tional representative to speak on be-
half of Wendell L. Willkie, Republican
Presidential candidate.
julius c. Renninger, chairman Of
the Republican State Central Com
mittee, read the club constitution and
it was adopted by those present. The
constitution fixed the dues at so cents
year and provided for the ordinary
government of the organization. To
the constitution amendments may be
added by vote Of two-thirds of those
present at a regular meeting.
A winning essay in national con-
test on 'Why I Will Vote Republican"
was read.
1t was announced that Mrs. VERNE
Smouse had been made vice-chairman
of state organization, to be in charge
of women's activities in the coming
campaign.
Other county units are being con-
templated at Kitzmiller Mountain
Lake Park, Grantsville and Friends
vile, with initial meetings to be sched-
uled in those towns by the party lead
ers of the communities, assisted by
officers of the Young Republican
League and members of the Republi-
can committee. Other organizations
in other communities are planned to
be formed
Mr.. Renninger urged the groups to
n n n intanciUalIr onI ,NpoliatoI
that work of the young bloods", if
well done, would result in a heavier
party majority in the fall election
than ever before.
Hopes for $500 Republican major
ity were expressed at the initial meet
ing of the group on Monday, August
II, based on figures of previous cleo
tions. In 1928 the party had the big
gest maj ority-3,2 03-and it was as
serted that many Garrett county resi-
dents, regardless of party affiliations,
are against breaking down the tradi-
ton against the third term. Even in
the Democratic landslides of the past
two presidential elections, the Repub-
licans polled majorities Of SIG and
8O5.
Republicans have registered ma
jority of 1903 in the county, outnum-
boring the Democrats 5,744 to 3,046,
and they are confident that Wilkes
campaign against Roosevelt will bring
hundreds of Democratic votes on the
Republican side at least this fall.

Crops Needing Rain

The continued dry spell of the past
few weeks has not yet caused serious
damage to Garrett county crops but
rain is needed badly if they are to
mature properly.

crops were at a critical stage and
were beginning to show the effects of
the prolonged dryness. Pastures and
grasses remain fair in Western Mary
land
Wheat yields are 20 to "a bushels
per acre at Grantsville according to
report.
An east wind brought a cool spell
last weekend and again today, but
rain has been slight.
