WASHINGTON, D. C. June 25-
Operation has begun in two Govern
ment powder plants two months
ahead of schedule. When the task of
building the plants was considered by
the War Department in January it
was predicted that the production of
powder might begin in August, barr
ing unforeseen delays.
The S120,000,000 allotted for the
plants is expected to give the govern
ment smokeless powder production
capacity equal to all other American
plants combined. In construction of
the plants it was found necessary to
build new town on each site to
house the employees, and approx
mately 5000 different buildings were
erected Streets were put down and
severed, power plants constructed
and stores and hospitals built. APP
proximately $4,000 men worked on
construction and about 10000 will
eventually be engaged in the actual
production of powder

HAIL STORM

A hail storm came UP Saturday
did great damage to the farming Sec
ton in Valley district. It seems that
morning about one or two O'Clock and
the storm followed the old trail Of
hurricane twenty years ago. Corn
fields, wheat fields, clover fields potato
fields in fact all vegetation in the
path Of this unprecedented hail
storm, were damaged to such an ex-
tent that it is counted as a total loss
to many of the farmers. Window
lights were broken out of the farm
houses. Roofs were riddled full of
holes. The hail in some places was
found to be six inches deep and was
gathered up during Saturday by the
wagon load.
All the way from Rinehart to Low
EFT Chapel in Valley district the
storm did its worst. Some damage
was done to the gardens in Belington
but only the out edge of the it's path
was in the town.
A. T. Thornhill, Henry England,
Morriss Bolton, Henry Day, and many
others in the Concord section have
suffered great losses.
All day Saturday and Sunday it
felt like the whole valley here was a
refrigerator, so low was the tempa-
ture. Many people, donned their
winter clothing for the two or three
days following.
