The Homozone prevents stale or
odor-laden air and keeps it pure and

said to destroy odors at their source.
This type OF air purifier operates
without drafts and has been found to
be effective in giving relief in certain
types of respiratory diseases such as
hay fever, asthma, sinus, etc.

zone uses natures own purifying
agent, ozone, and insures an ade-

Production Of Maple
Products Very Poor
Sugar And Syrup Output In The
County Is Below That of 1889

Maryland's 1910 maple sugar and
maple syrup season was described by
the Agricultural Marketing Service as
Somewhat disappointing to produc-
ers." Maryland's season in this indus
try means practically Garrett county's
season, as all Of Maryland's sugar and
syrup coming from sugar maple trees
are produced in this county.
The season here started "fully a
month later than in 1889 and from
three to four weeks later than usual, >"
the Service said.
Sap was tapped from approximately
$1,000 trees and 5000 pounds of sugar
and $4,000 gallons of syrup made. Last
year $4,000 trees were tapped, 10000
pounds of sugar made and $4,000 gal
Ions of syrup produced
"Sap was unusually sweet, but runs
were small and short" the report said.
"Many camps did not operate this
season due to the backward season and
labor costs, Much off-grade syrup was
made this year, due mainly to late
ness Of the season."

Man Uncertain About
Federal Court Plea
Bloomington Man Wanted TIC
Talk To Judge Personally
And Did

One of the defendants in Federal
Court at Cumberland Monday was
Charles L. Wigley, a Bloomington
man who had difficult time making
up his mind about his plea.
He was indicted on three counts o.
illicit distilling. The Court assigned
him a lawyer, but the defendant ex-
pressed his desire to talk to the Judge
personally.
So, he was brought before the judge
who explained what he was charged
with and asked him how he wanted to
plead.
The defendant said he would plead
guilty to possession of mash. The
judge explained that he could not very
well plead that way because of tech
nicalities and suggested that if he
were guilty he should plead guilty, al
though advising him he had the right
to plead not guilty if he wished.
But the defendant was adamant.
81 amt going to plead guilty to man
ufacturing no whiskey," he said.
After some discussion of what h?
had done, the defendant blurted out
"All right; III take it if you give me
a suspended sentence"
"The court is not of a disposition to
bargain with you OF anyone else" the
jurist said sternly.
Then he ordered a not guilty plea
entered and set the case down for
trial June IL in Baltimore. In the
meantime he ordered that the defend
ant be remanded to Jail, where he had
been since May 1, to await trial.
After rejecting awhile in a cell in
the marshall's office, the defendant
was brought back in and entered a
guilty plea.
The court sentenced him to a year
and day, citing his record of two
previous convictions on federal liquor
charges.
The case against his elderly father,
indicted with him, was nolle pressed.

Dollars; Garrett County Quota
Placed At 100000
DRIVE GETS UNDER WAY

An appeal for funds to help the mil
lions of helpless men, women and chill
dren who are suffering in Holland, Bel
GUM and Luxembourg as the result Of
the German invasion of those coun-
tries, is being made by the American
Red Cross, according to telegram
received Tuesday by Mrs. E. z. Tower,
chairman of the Garrett County Red
Cross, from National headquarters
in Washington.
Mrs. Tower said the National or
ganization is asking for $1O,000,000
and has placed Garrett county's quota
at 100000.
The telegram said: "With the in
vasion of Holland, Belgium and Lux
embourg, the war has entered a phase
which will inevitably and at once
bring widespread and appalling suf-
fering to millions of helpless men,
women and children. The need and
suffering are imperative and great"
Garrett countians may send their
contributions to John M. Jarboe,
treasurer of the Garrett County Chap
ter, at the Garrett National Bank in
Oakland.
Mrs. Tower expressed the hope that
Garrett county would fill its quota in
few days. She pointed out that fol-
lowing the flood on March II, 1887,
this county sent $4,000 to the Red
Cross and upon another occasion of
flood sent 100000. "All should help in
this dire need" she said.
Placards, announcing the appeal of
the Red Cross, will be posted through
out the county.
