Now comes the news that the census
bureau wants nine enumerators to
count mosquitoes in the Mississippi val
ley. An exchange is of the opinion that
whatever questions the enumerators
ask, the mosquitoes are going to give
some biting answers. If the pests are
anything like the ones here in the
early summer, all the census takers
need to do is to sit down quietly, count
their bites and multiply the result by
a thousand or maybe two.

I'VE are not waging any particular
war on the radio, but we are rather
surprised at many politicical candidates
who spend goodly sums on talks to
advertise themselves over the air and
expect the same sort of propaganda
free from the newspapers" says Grove
Wills in the Eveleth Clarion. He fur
ther says: I'm fact some candidates are
inSulted when their yards of free pub
licity are turned down by the pub
fishers. If candidates do insist
that they are entitled to publicity in
news columns, it might be a good idea
for publishers to write their own stories
and tell the truth about candidates as
they see it."

OFFICERS STILL
INVESTIGATING
LAKE ROBBERIES
Three In Custody Waive Hearing
and are Held Under $1,000 Bond;
Two Held Under $500
MANY THINGS RECOVERED

vOlved in a series of robberies in the
Green Glade section of the lake front,
but States Attorney Neil C. Fraley
stated one day last week he felt sure
that this accused group was working
with at least one other group, and that
when the investigation was completed
a number Of other robberies would be
cleared up.
Some of the articles stolen from
cottages in the Green Glade section
are still being uncovered and identi-
fled, and officers also plan to trace
some of the heavier articles, such as
motors, furniture, etc., which was evil

are being held on charges of breaking
and entering and larceny. Mr.. Fraley

QUALIFIED CITIZENS MAY
REGISTER NEXT TUESDAY
Speculation AS To Whether Or
Not Republicans Will Maintain
Their 2-TO-1 Majority
1926 VOTERS REGISTERED

The opportunity for additional
residents to register next Tues
day, April 80, at many points in
the county, is causing some spec
ulatiOn as to whether or not the
Republicans will continue to
maintain their two-to-one ma
jority.
Republican leaders appear to
be confident that such major
ity will be maintained, if not in
creased, while some Democrats have
expressed their thoughts that the tide
will turn here and show more even
distribution on both sides of the polit-
ical fence.
The Supervisors of Elections an
nounced last week that board of regis
try for the several election districts
and precincts of the county would sit
for the purpose of registering all
those qualified, male and female, who
possess or who shall possess on or be-
fore the day of the next general cleo
ton in Maryland the requisite qualif
cations under the Constitution of the
State emitting them to vote at the
said election. The registration boards
will be in session from 9 a. m. until
9 p. m. on Tuesday, April 30, for that
purpose in the various places of regis
tration as announced.
The last registration in October,
1888, showed that there were 1926
voters in the county, an increase over
the past two years of 668. Of this num-
Der 5,744 were Republicans and 3046
Democrats, with Sc being registered in
other party columns.
Of the net gain in registered voters
in 1888 the Republican increase was
almost 400 compared to about $50 for
the Democrats, with the Republicans
still maintaining their majority of
almost two to one.
Republicans have majorities in q
of the rs voting places, the Demo-
Gratis holding the endge in Kempton,
Johnson's, Kitzmiller and Vindex.
Sang Run has the greatest percent
age of Republican voters, the number
there running 283 to Sc, or 5 to /.
Kempton has the greatest Democratic
majority Q8) with 1877 registered
compared to 119 Republicans. The
Democratic majority in their four pre-
cinctS is so.

Deep Creek Lake Within Three
Feet of Being Full

Deep Creek Lake, because of the
almost continual rainfall in the past
few weeks, is as full as it has been for
about -four years, being only three
feet from the spillway. at the breast
of the dam. 1t was stated this morn
ing at the Power house at Sines that
the measurement of water in the dam
was $50 feet. Four years ago the
dam was completely full but no water
has ever gone over the spillway.
The Youghiogheny Hydro Electric
Corporation is not using the turbines
to any great extent at the present
time, which also accounts for the rise
in the lake.
Probabilities are that the lake will
continue to rise for several days.
