Lawn Bulletin
Issued at u. of Md.

September is the best month to
seed lawn-so says the new bulle-
tin Maryland Lawn Culture" pub
lished this month by the Extension
Service at the University of Mary
land.
Weather is more favorable than in
spring because of the cool nights,
less evaporation of moisture, stored
heat in the soil favors termination
and root development. Grasses root
more deeply in preparation for win
ter, whereas spring seeding produces
lush top growth and weaker roots.
Fall is the dormant period for most
weeds, the bulletin explains. Grasses
have a better chance to cover the
ground and smother weeds the next
spring and summer.
The bulletin, which is free to resi-
dents Of Maryland, gives other infor-
nation about seeding lawns, caring
for them, weed control and similar
questions. Copies may be obtained
from county agents in the various
counties or from the Bulletin Room,

Adds Interesting
Information About
Grover Cleveland


The RepublHcan,
Oakland, Maryland
Gentlemen:
One of the interesting scenes in the
excellent pageant which was fea-
ture of Oakland's splendid Centennial
celebration, which | had the pleasure
of attending for three days, had to
deal with the visit of President Cleve-
land and his bride.
1t may interest you to know that
the wedding visit of President and
Mrs. Cleveland was quite striking
event in the publicity annals of the
country in 1886, thanks to the active
ness of the newspaper men OF that
day.
In his book, Twenty Years of the
Republic, published in 1906, Harry
Thmston Peck summed up the stu
alton as follows:
"They president and Mrs. Cleve-
lanD went by special train to a cot
tage which had been placed at their
disposal at Deer Park in the noun
tains of Maryland. Public interest in
the marriage was so great that the
press of the country went far beyond
the limits of what was permissible.
On the following morning, the Presi-
dent was astonished to find that
pavilion had been reared directly OPP
poste his cottage, and that throng
of newspaper correspondents were
collected there, provided with field
glasses, so as not to lose even the
slightest detail which a bold-eyed
curiosity could discover. This an
noying espionage continued for sew
eral days, and fully justified some
biting sentences which were written
with regard to the editors who per-
mitted such a breach of elemental
courtesy.
"They have used the enormous
power of the modern newspaper to
perpetuate and disseminate colossal
impertinence, and have done it, not
as professional gOssips and tattlers,
but as the guides and instructors of
the public in conduct and in morals
And they have done it, not to a
private citizen, but to the President
of the United States, thereby lifting
their offence into the gaze of the
whole world, and doing their utmost
to make American journalism con-
temptible in the estimation of people
of good breeding everywhere" (New
York Evening Post, June 4, 1867
When | was boy at Deer Park,
we were told the President brought
in some United States troops to put
an end to the spyglass business.
Cordially yours,
C. A. Jones,
President, Franklin County His
torical Society, Columbus, Ohio.

To the Editor of The Republican
Dear Sir:
| wish to commend you most heart
lily upon your splendid straightfor
ward stand in the editorial appearing
in the issue of August 25.
Let us hope, now, that your paper
has so ably presented the issues in
volved, that friends of education and
youth will rally to the defense of
those officials who have the best in
terests of our boys and girls at heart.
Selfish interests, capitalizing upon
misinformed citizens should not be
allowed to deny this, and future gene
rations the advantages which would,
and by every right should be theirs.
Experience has shown that an ade
quate program of education to fit the
needs of all American youth, cannot
possibly be offered in the small, i'll
equipped, and understaffed high
school.
Let's bend all efforts toward sccur-
ing the two high schools as planned.
Sincerely yours.
Edwin Elias, Jr. Pres,
Garrett County Teachers Associ-
alton.

defense have also been practiced.
Squad members have been tried
at different positions to determ-
inc their aptitude.
There are eight to ten boys
now on the squad with any pre-
vious varsity experience, tn e
rest are those who have come up
from junior high school teams
and a few without any previous
experience in football at all.
Coach Binion sums up the sit
uation with these words, We'll,
we are sure not experienced nor
deep at the various positions nor
big at any of them. But on the
whole the kids are willing and
working hard. The boys and the
staff realize that lots of work lies
ahead before we can field a team
next season that the patrons will
be proud Of"
1t is difficult, he said, to single
out individuals as all of the squad
have worked hard, but linesmen
who have showed exceptional
promise are, Price and Bosarge,
tackles; Leonard and Wilkinson,
guards; Mullins, Carter, and Golf,
King and Fleming, ends. In the
backfield he mentioned Perez,
Hicks, Moody, Kuhn, Branch,
Bardwell, Thrash, Wilkinson and
Theisen.

have been divided into two teams,
the Reds and the Whites, for a
game on Thursday evening with
