BIG GRAIN ELEVATOR.

Rapid progress is being made with
the new Western Maryland grain ell
evator at Port Covington, though it
is said it will not be ready to take
care of the early grain.
The company expects to have it
completed in time for the corn move
ment of this years crop.
The elevator will cost $500, 900 and
will have an unloading capacity from
cars into it of 24O cars, or 800, 900
bushels a day. The elevator legs,
for the handling of the grain in put
ting it in and taking it from the ele-
vator, have capacity of $1,000 BUSH
els an hour. Boats can be loaded
direct from the elevator shipping
spouts or from a grain gallery 1000
feet in length.
The drying and cleaning facilities
are of the latest type, and the entire
elevator, as we'll as the loading, un-
loading and storage facilities, can be
increased 200 per cent. The present
capacity is about 1, OO0,OO0 bushels.
The elevator is constructed of rein
forced concrete throughout.

SENSIBLE CITIZENSHIP.

During the past few weeks we have
endeavored to show you in these articles
just why the other districts of the county
having candidates do not deserve the Re.
publican nomination for Register of
Wills, and why DR.. Austin A. Lamar, of
Middletown District, is the logical cand-
idate of the party at the coming primar-
les. But there is still another very i'm
portant phase of the political problem to
be mentioned which we have yet only
very lightly touched upon. 1t is necessary
that every man should know how to vote,
and for whom to vote, but what good
does all this knowledge do any voter
when he does not come out to vote? 1t
is a peculiar state of affairs when men
will read politics, think politics and talk
politics all during the campaign, and be-
come apparently greatly interested in
the work of the various candidates, and
then when election day comes spend
their entire time at their regular occu-
patton and never think of going near the
polls.
And, Mr.. Voter, do not think that this
applies only to the regular November
elections. 1t applies to the primary
Catoctin clarion. [volume] (Mechanicstown, Md.) 1871-1940, 1915-08-05

elections just as well. for if you won't
come out to help nominate good candi-
date how can he be sure that you will
give him your support in November?
Your candidate needs you right now, in
these primaries, and indeed you can do
him world of good even before the pri-
maries if you are so inclined. Why not
90 to your candidate and find out how
you can assist him in his campaign. RE-
MEMBER 1T is YOUR FIGHT THAT
HE is FIGHTING. DR.. Lamar stands
for an economic form of Government,
and he will run his Office, If elected, ac-
cordingly. Do you want to see your
taxes raised or would you rather have
them lowered? You want them low, of
course. If any man in the Office of Reg
lister of Wills can help to lower them DR..
Lamar is the man. So give him your
loyal support, and come to him now to
find out how you can assist him in his
work.
The Doctor is campaigning extensively
over the entire county, and the result of
his canvass shows that he is being sup
ported strongly. Now, if these men will
all COME OUT TO THE PRIMARIES
and vote, as every loyal citizen should,
the Doctor need have no fear concerning
the outcome of his campaign. Do YOUR
best, personally, Mr.. Voter, and rely
upon your citizens to do theirs.
You well know that if your right of
franchise should be taken away from you
it would cause you to bitterly denounce
such form of government. And yet,
how many times have you failed in your
duty to exercise this right, when your
vote along with that of the others who
followed your example would have saved
the Party from defeat? Try to get the
idea that these elections are yours and
are for your good, not for the good of
the candidate, and then you will be more
anxious to cast your ballot.
1t is your duty to vote at every cleo
ton, no matter how small, for these local
elections are closer to you and your affairs
than even the Presidential elections. 1t
is extremely easy for man to cultivate
the habit of not going to the polls on
election day. More than that it is a
recognized bad habit. Habits, too, when
once formed are not easily overcome,
especially bad ones. So don't waste your
time talking politics with your neighbor,
but PUT YOUR WORDS INTO ACTION
BY THE CASTING OF YOUR BALLOT.
Don't take the position that your vote
doesn't amount to much. Suppose we
all thought that. And by the way, Mr..
Voter, as regards this article, 1T MEANS
YOU. Let the other fellow take care of
himself.

Heavy Rains And Storms.
Crops Damaged, Barns Burned
In This nd Other States.

In ibis Anu OJnef OCdCcS'
During last week the temperature in
this locality has been high and has caused
more or less inconvenience to many per-
sons Rain was needed badly, corn in
many instances suffering, and the earth
too dry for blowing.
Sunday afternoon rain fell in this vlcin-
ity and caused considerable drop IN
Temperature. In this immediate vicinity
there was but little wind, but to the east
the blow was quite severe, trees being
reported uprooted at Rocky Ridge and
through the country to Detour. The
wagon shed on the Weybright farm is
reported demolished. The corn in this
section also suffered.
On Monday evening of this week the
heaviest rain of the season fell at Thur
mont. The rain clouds came from the
north and for an hour or more the rain
was very heavy. There was but little
wind ard thunder. Rain fell during the
greater part of the night and has put the
ground in good condition for blowing.
Judging from the clouds and thunder,
this storm was very heavy to the north
east of Thurmont Reports state the
storm was severe in Carroll county. The
storm was accompanied by high wind
and hail, which leveled corn fields and
damaged vegetation. The lightning was
particularly severe at Stone Chapel.
Nathan H. Diehl, aged SO years, was
struck and killed in his apple orchard
while taking chickens from under tree.
The barn of Guy W. Babylon, at Wake
field, was struck and burned with all OF
this years. crops and farming implements.
The State Road leading from West
minister to Taneytown was badly damag-
ed, a hole four feet deep and eight feet
long being washed from under the con-
crete. Bridge buttments were washed
away.
Tuesday night last Thurmont and vicin-
ity was visited by terrific downpour of
rain, the heaviest coming between 2 and
8 o'clock Wednesday morning. Streams
were far out of bank, the stream cross
ing East Main street being higher than
for many years. With the rain came a
strong wind which in many places level
ed the corn to the ground. Reports from
nearby places are to the effect that much
damage was done by high water.
Waynesboro, Pa, was visited by an
other tremendous downpour of rain Mon
day evening which was longer in dura-
ton than the one last Friday evening
and did a great deal more damage. At
5 O'Clock three storms were sighted, one
in the south, another in the west and the
third in the northern skies. They all
seemed to converge and join forces over
Waynesboro and as the result there was
one of the biggest and most furious rains
that occurred in that city for some time.
The storm lasted about two hours. A
sewer burst and many cellars and gar
dens were flooded.
A severe wind and hail storm swept
over Upper Marlboro. Md, Monday. On
some farms the corn, tobacco and tomato
