In other words, when they can see that
the savings in transportation costs
would warrant the investment in
manufacturing plant, they are willing
and anxious to build such a plant. But
the volume of milk received must be
large enough so that the savings will
compensate for the large investment
in a condensery.
AT the present time the actual milk
production is not sufficient to carry a
condensery. Carnation has repeated
ly pointed out, however, that Garrett
county and its environ have the po-
tential ability to produce many times
the quantity of milk they produce at
the present time. From the survey
which they have conducted, the COM
pany believes that if the total milk
producing ability of the area were uti-
LIKED it would be sufficient to support a
factory which naturally would be To-
Gated in Oakland.
This would not only mean increased
prosperity for farmers. 1t would give
lucrative employment to many of Oak
lands citizens. The banks would gain
through increased deposits and prof.
table loans. Local merchants would
benefit because the farmers will have
more demands for feed and equipment,
end more money to spend for food,
clothing and so forth. In time, Oak
land may, like Clarksburg, become
the central point for a group Of sta
tions located over wide area.
Citizens of Garrett county, the chal-
lenge is there. Let us all work to-
gether as one man; farmer, banker,
merchant, and others. The road may
be long and hard, but the rewards are
well worth the extra effort.

MT. LAKE PARK

The "open house" held on Sunday
afternoon at the new town quarters
was a great success. Real interest
was shown by the great number of
citizens and by many out-of-town visi-
tors. Mickey's band gave a splendid
concert and this was followed by a
short speech Of welcome by Mayor
Hall. Steaming hot coffee and hot dog
sandwiches were served. 1t was an
nounced that a gentleman from Oak
land had offered to furnish paint tor
the new building, which was accepted.
Mr.. Harvey Criss, Fairmont, was
in large way responsible for the re-
modelling and renovation of this town
hall. He gave much of his time and
attention the past few months to max
ing it what it is now. In fact several
residents donated their work and TO
them all much credit is due.
We noticed at the "open house" sew
eral politicians just being sociable.
That old burnside wasn't much in

That Harry Kiser knew how to hand

That the ladies were not stingy with

That there were a number Of oul

MEETING OR THE OLD,
 NEW COUNCILS TONIGHT

Tonight is the regular meeting of the City Council but more than that it is the last time for the present organized Council to meet, principal objective being to turn over business affairs of the town to a new Council The latter will consist of three members of the old body, Sante Degan, E. E. Eng strom and E. Hachmeister. and the three neWly-elect. A. J. Balog Alex Gair Jr., and L. w. Klburn.
 Last mentioned is present Mayor of Douglas, an office to which no successor was elected by reason of a tie vote for the mayorality candi- dates, Robert Bonner and A. F.. Goetz. Whether MT Kilburn must retain his office as Mayor until a successor is chosen, and the old Council decide the mayorship is- sue or he vacates it to be sworn in as Councilman, leaving the new Council to dispose of the issue, re- mains to be seen. It is understood, however, that there is a city ordi- nance covering the situation.

those old tricks and the smart young rockies won't fall for the jokes that trapped the dumb country rubes.
 Rockies now are received in friendly fashion. Veterans often go out of their way to give point CTS to youngsters who some day may take their jobs. Years ago the regulars resented the new corners. They made a rockies life miserable A youngster then lit erally had to fight his way into the lineup.
 Nothing but the Best
 At one time many hotels re- fused to cater to the rough hous- CTS who made the personnel of the teams. But now the clubs stop at the best hotels.
 Some years ago John Ringing, the circus owner, persuaded his friend. John McGraW, to bring the Giants to Sarasota for spring train ing. McGraw agreed and asked Ringing to take care of reserva- tions
 The players rolled South in pull mans to Sarasota and hoped into busses expecting to be transported to a handsome resort hostelry. When the cars pulled up in front of a seedy, wooden establishment the players squealed like stuck pigs.
 McGraw went to Ringing and protested
 That's where my circus men stop and if it's good enough for them it's good enough fer your ball players" Ringing answered.
 Big Business Now
 But baseball is a bigger busi- ness now. The players are higher type men, they cost more and are paid larger salaries And the clubs figure it is good business to travel in style.
 The first couple of weeks of spring training are spent in cor- ditioning activities. Then come the exhibition games. It requires only a week or two. for the mana gers to decide that some of their rockies aren't ready. Others are kept all spring and played in the A few make the grade and stick in the majors.
 Except for the occasional efforts of some armed star to make a comeback, the most interesting features of the spring drills are the battles between the rockies trying to win big league job and the leg-weary veterans striving to hold them off. for another year or two.

 Miss Rogers enacts the role of a department store salesgirl who sud- denly becomes synthetic mother She finds an abandoned baby, and despite her frantic denials, the who'e world believes she is the tots mama When she plans to abandon the. baby herself. her boss informs her that he will so ostracize her in the business world that she will never have chance of earning her live lihood-and all because she refuses to fulfill her duty to society: raising "her' baby!
 Hopelessly Ginger accepts the task. When a romance springs from her boss constant meetings with her under the guise of assisting her in bringing up baby, Ginger's self appointed jealous boy friend appris- es her boss father that his son is actually the infants father. The boss father demands that his son marry Ginger so that he can right fully assert his role as grandfa ther to the baby, and the story assumes hilarious, side-splitting proportions.

Service to Humanity

The opening of the Gutliph & Henderson
funeral home this week is an auspicious
OCCASION not only from the standpoint of
the beautiful new quarters, but also be-
cause, in fact, the opening can be ascribed
as an anniversary celebration, observing
the Al years E. A. Gutliph has been in the
undertaking profession and his 18th year
in Newark Mr.. Henderson, his partner,
has been in the business since 1916, except
for period during the world war when he
was in the service of his country.
While old in point of service to the peo-
pie of Newark and vicinity, Gutliph &
Henderson have always kept abreast of the
times. Because of this fact they have
builded reputation through the years
which made necessary the enlargement of
facilities to the public.
With simple dignity without ostentation,
distinguishing their thoughtful service,
Gutliph & Henderson have kept in step with
the march of progress. Their beautiful
new funeral home is but in character with
the service they render to humanity
and the Newark Leader joins with their
many friends in commencing them upon
this memorable occasion.

Traffic Safety

Considerable attention has been paid to
the element Of traffic safety upon the
streets of Newark by certain members OF
city council-in fact, the clerk of council
has been instructed by council as whole,
to draw up several communications to the
safety department that laws be enforced
No doubt additional effort has been made
but to be effective the department
should be on it's toes at all times. There are
number of motorists who still can't seem
to realize that they are jeopardizing the
safety of not only others, but themselves,
when they run through red lights, just be-
cause there does not happen to be patrol
man in that particular spot
Some of the most flagrant violations can
be noticed at the intersections of East
Main and Second streets, and West Main
and Third streets, where pedestrian traffic
is unusually heavy. 1t would seem that per-
haps few fines, would slow up the few
who think they are on racetrack, so that
pedestrians would not have to scurry for
cover like scared rabbits. The human body
has not much to put up, in argument with
an automobile.
