With the exception of Mer-
curry, all the major Planets
visible to the unaided eye are
now open to easy observation.
Venus is in eastern elonga-
ton setting after the Sun and
accordingly CLEANS like a bea-

Jupiter is in western elonga-
ton rising before the Sun and
therefore shines with his
usual brilliancy as the Morn
ing Star.
Mars and Saturn are all night
Stars. They stand out conspi-
cuously high in the eastern
sky right after sunset in Lee,
just above the beautiful Regu-
lus. Mars is easily recognized
by his definitely reddish color.
Saturn is a few degrees west
of Mars.
While we welcome the
others and the opportunities
which they present, special at

Mars which for the past few

B. 60. SPEAKER
TRACES GROWTH
POSSIBILITIES
Gives Address at Dinner Meet
ing of Mt. Top Chamber of Com
merce Last Thursday Evening

Possibilities for industrial and eco
nomic growth in Garrett county were
outlined before sixty members of the
Mt. Top Chamber of Commerce at
dinner meeting last Thursday evening
at the Mt Lake Hotel.
The speaker was Stanley Temple,
assistant to the chief of industrial
relations of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, and after strcssing the value
to a community of an industry, he en-
larged on the possibilities for eco
nomic growth as depending on two
things, what a community has to Of
fer industry and the need of industry
for what the community has.
In estimating the value of an in
dustry to community he used the
figures of H. w. Prentice, Jr, presi-
dent of the National Association of
Manufacturers in 1910, for an indus
try employing $50 men. at represents
a plant investment of about 100000,
an annual payroll of 100000, sup
ports 1000 people, dozen stores, a
ten-room schoolhouse, sales and SER
vice for 200 automobiles, opportunity
for employment of a dozen profession
al men, doctors, dentists, lawyers,
provides yearly markets amounting
to 100000 for agricultural farm
products. 1t pays freight and passen-
ger fares amounting to 100000 an
nually to the railroads, and promotes
an annual expenditure in trade in the
local community of $1,000,000. 1t
sets up a taxable value OF the plant
and the homes, stores and jobs sup
ported by the plant, of $1,000,000,"
He stressed the Importance of
water as one of the greatest natural
resources which all industry required
and he declared the Importance of
natural resources needed emphasis
because they formed the basis of in
dustrial and economic growth. He es-
timated the Youghiogheny river as a
source of more than million gallons
daily, ample to support most any in
dustry of a size which this community
could staff with labor.

Form Cemetery
Cleanup Committee

The Oakland Civic Club, in CO.
operation with other local organiza-
tions, formed committee last Thurs
day to be responsible for the upkeep
of the Oakland cemetery, especially
that part of the old section which has
grown up.
AT meeting last Thursday after
noon, Mrs. +. Z. Power was made
chairman of the group, Jack Treacy,
treasurer, Miss Julia A. Rowan, sec
rotary, and Herbert C. Leighton and
Harry L. Stemple other members Of
the executive committee.
Cooperating with the Civic Club
will be the Knights of Pythias, the
Masonic order, the American Legion,
the Lions club and the Business and
Professional Women's club.
A circular letter is to be prepared
for mailing to every lot owner, ask
ing for some financial assistance in
the project. About 400 of the 500
property owners now pay man reg
ularly but in about hundred in
stances there are no living relatives
of persons buried there and their lots
have grown up in weeds and are neg
lected. 1t is the aim of the new COM
mittee to see that there is a thorough
cleaning up this fall and again in the
spring, so that the cemetery will pre-
sent a pleasing appearance, particu-
larly for the centennial year. 1t was
stressed, however, that the committee
would be permanent one. The Mayor
and Council will contribute the use Of
a truck to haul away the rubbish, It
was stated.

First Carload Head
Lettuce & Cauliflower
To Be Shipped Friday

The first carload of cauliflower and
head lettuce ever shipped from this
area, headed for the New York mar
ket, is scheduled to leave the siding
of the Mt. Lake Canning company on
Friday, it was announced by Roland
Shaffer, plant manager.
Following the initial shipment, adj
ditional cars will be loaded on Mon
days, Wednesdays and Fridays until
sometime in September, it was stated.
A car will hold from 400 to 600
crates holding one dozen head, and
the lettuce crates holding two dozen,
r. L. Winklepleck, of the agricul-
ture department Of the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad, is here this week look
ing after marketing details and
supervising the quantity being
brought in from the Canaan Valley,
Mt. Storm, Gormania and from near
Oakland. The railroad first became
interested several years ago when
the marketing problem became too
big for the individual growers in the
Canaan Valley area.
The canning company is supervis-
ing the trimming, grading, packing,
preceding and loading of the crop
into refrigerated cars. The cars will
be completely "snow-iccd" in Cum
berland and a fast freight will carry
Them to New York where they will
be placed on the market.
According to Mr.. Shaffer around
10000 cauliflower and 10000 lettuce
plants are placed to the acre, and
that one acre usually produced
enough to fill 500 crates. If the heads
are nice they will net the producer
around $1.50 per crate, depending on
the market price. Mr. WinkleplecH
said some of the heads of lettuce
would weigh more than three POUNDS
and that they were as solid as a head
of cabbage Caulifower heads were
larger.
Upon the success of the new ven
ture will depend whether or not the
area will go in for growing of these
vegetables in a big way. A story Of
the background of this new activity
appeared in The Republican in the
July Is issue.

Diplomat To Make
Regular Stop Here

That B. and O. train No. 4, the
Diplomat, would make a regular stop
in Oakland, beginning Sunday, Au-
gust 8, was announced this week by
Charles L. Briner, president Of the
Mt. Top Chamber of Commerce.
Mr.. Briner received a telegram on
Tuesday morning from Roy B. White,
president of the Baltimore and Ohio
railroad, conveying the above infor-
nation.
The request for train No. to make
regular stops here was made by Mr..
Briner and Senator Lawrence NJ. Fra
ley who had a conference with Mr..
White last Friday night while the
latter was spending the weekend in
his private car at Mt. Lake Park.
Mr.. Briner and Senator F'raley al
so sought to have the Cincinnatian
make Oakland a regular stop, but
this was declared impossible. Train
No. has been arriving at Oakland
around sos a. m.
Suggested b. and o. Day
During the conference a suggestion
was made for a B. and o. day some
time during Oakland's Centennial
celebration in the summer of 1919,
and plans were discussed for such an
occasion.
Mr. Fraley said Mr.. White wa
particularly interested in such an
event and tentatively accepted an
invitation to be the speaker upoh
that day. Possibility of getting the
B. and 0. Glee club here also was
discussed favorably.
Mr. Fraley said Mr.. White had an
amazing knowledge of current and
economic events and was intensely
interested in the agricultural de-
velopment of the county and the
value of obtaining small industry
for this area if the Chamber of Com
merce and the citizens were 50
minded.
