80 Declare Their
Intentions to Vote
That Number Made Application
During 1913, Most of Them
During Past Month

Eighty-three persons during 1913
have declared their intentions to be-
come voters in Maryland, it was
learned from the records in the of
flee of A G. Ross, clerk of the Cir
cult court. The deadline for filing a
declaration was Saturday, November
6, one year before election day.
Those who arrive at the age of
twenty-one while in the residence of
the state automatically become citiz-
ems of Maryland, with the right to
vote, if they register at the proper
time Only citizens moving into Mary
land from other states are required to
file their intentions.
OF the total amount filing in 1913,
81 Of them made application during
October and the first six days of No
vember. Those applying were mostly
from Pennsylvania and West Vir-
GINA, but a few came from Washing
ton, d. c., Ohio, North Carolina,
Indiana, Georgia, Virginia, Illinois
and New York One Of them had come
to this county IL 49, and one in
1916, but the majority were from
1886 to the present time. Some miners
entering Garrett county in 1927 and
1929 filed their intentions during the
past month.

Change From Ten Monthly Pay
ments Is Requested By The
Teachers Association

Teachers of Garrett County public
schools are now receiving their salary
checks on a twelvc-month basis, it
was announced this week by f. E.
Rathbun, county superintendent.
This policy is in line with request
of the Garrett County Teachers AS
sociation, in place of the former Gus
tom of receiving ten checks during the
school term.
AS September checks already had
been sent out the total for that month
has been subtracted from the yearly
total, and the remainder divided by
eleven, to arrive at the amount of the
checks per month until next Septcm-
Der.
The salary checks for October in
cludcd the monthly bonus of $1,000

Schools Will Open
At $50 Beginning
Monday, November IS

Beginning Monday morning, No
vember IS, and continuing until Fri
day evening, March 81, all schools of
the county are to open in the morn
ings at $3.50 o'clock instead of 9, and
close one-haIf hour later in the after
Moons, it was announced by F. Z.
Rathbun, county superintendent.
The schools will continue in session
the same actual number of hours for
Institutional purposes as has been in
effect since opening Of school, Mr.
Rathbun said, and the noon lunch
period is to be as near as possible set
at one hour.
The change is made so that bus
children do not have to walk to their
bus stations before daylight, and so
that many of the farm students may
be given time to do their chores at
home before leaving for school, War
time, which has advanced the clock
one hour ahead of sun time, is the
cause, as farm animals still let nature
take her course, and begin their day
according to the sun.
Schools were dismissed at noon to-
day following appropriate Armistice
Day programs, giving the pupils a
half-holiday.

was established by students of Oak
land High school in helping farmers
to pick potatoes. The record was not

Evelyn Custer and Ruth O'Brien,
junior students, picked 145 bushels
each on the farm of Earl K. Harvey.

Feeding Program Is
Outlined for Bull
Calf Project Members
Get-tOgether Meeting of County
Committee, Sponsors, Custodians
And Parents Is Held

An approved feeding program, cal
culated to do the most good for a
growing young bull, was outlined by
George Hyatt, Extension dairyman,
University of Maryland, at get
together meeting of sponsors and in
dividuals of the bull calf project and
members of the Garrett County Dairy
Development committee last night at
the Fike Boarding House.
Fourteen purebred bull calves were
obtained two or three months ago
from accredited registered herds in
Maryland and West Virginia, most of
them purchased by business organiza-
tions and individuals who sponsored
them for boys who wish to raise a
purebred bull calf as a project for the
improvement of their parents dairy
herds.
Prior to the meeting last night Mr..
( Hyatt accompanied by John H. Carter,
county agent, and L. S. Hartley, Nor
gantown, W. Va, agricultural agent
for the B. and 0. railroad, visited the
farms on which the purebred bull
calves have been placed.
Mr.. Hyatt urged a very careful
feeding program through the period
of the growth of the young bull and
recommended the use of calf meal in
place of whole milk at this time, since
/ the sale of whole milk was so neces-
sary during the milk shortage.
Nh Hartley in a few remarks en-
phasized that cows on a farm could
! do a lot for farmer, if given a fair
chance" He urged those present to
be looking to the future postwar
/ period and the continued improve
ment of their dairy herds.

County Dairy Development committee,
