COUNTY NEARING
QUOTA IN THIRD
WAR LOAN DRIVE
Purchases by Large Investors
Gives Big Boost to TOtal-Still
Only Few Small Investors

Garrett county, through the pur-
chase of war bonds by large investors,
is nearing its goal of $175,000 in
sales during September, it was an
nounced this morning by H. C. Riggs,
county chairman, but there are still
no great number of small investors,
he pointed out.
1t was the hope of those connected
with this third war loan drive that
every employed person would pur-
chase one or more bonds and make
the campaign one in which every per-
son had a part, but thus far such has
not been the case.
Two large contributions have helped
to swell the total by $4,000. Garrett
county's portion of the credit of S10,-
100000 in war bonds purchased by
the State of Maryland has been an
nounced at $31 400. The State pur-
chase was made from General and
Special Funds of the State and was
allocated on the basis that the
$3,750000 of Teachers Retirement
System funds be apportioned to the
% counties and their remainder which
included $5,000,000 of the States post
war construction fund and additional
state surplus, be distributed to Balti-
more city and the % counties, accord
ing to their quotas.
Mr.. Riggs was also advised this
week by Baltimore bank of the pur-
chase of $4,000 in bonds by the Davis
Coal and Coke company, to be
credited to this county.
Sales at the four banks and the
Oakland postoffice now total over the
100000 mark and this, added to the
$50, 400 credited to the county by the
two large sales, totals at least $780,
AGO. leaving less than $4,000 before
Garrett county reaches its quota.
Sales at the two Oakland banks have
totaled ST., 500.
State Over the Top
Maryland is the first state to cX-
coed its quota of 100000, in the
drive. Hooper S. Miles, state chair
man, said that sales totaling $203
million, which put Maryland over the
top, were made in ten working days
since the start of the campaign,
which included Defenders Day,
holiday with which no other state had
to contend.
Congratulations on this achieve
ment were sent out by Henry Morgen-
thau, Jr., secretary of the treasury,
but at the same time be urged work
ers to continue to concentrate on the
sale of bonds to individuals during
the remainder of the Drive so that
Maryland might also lead the nation
in that important field.

Cornerstone of New
Church At Meadow
Mountain Is Laid
Impressive Ceremony Held Sun
day by Members and Friends
OF st. Johns Lutheran Church

The cornerstone for the new church
being erected at Meadow Mountain
by members of St. Johns congrega-
ton of the Bittinger Lutheran parish
was laid last Sunday afternoon with
an impressive service.
Rev. A. C. Curran, pastor of the
Lutheran congregation in that sec
ton for nearly seven years, had
charge of the program and read the
service prescribed for the laying of
the cornerstone.
Favorable weather conditions pre-
vailed and a large crowd assembled
on the site where the new building,
thirty-two by forty-four feet, con-
structed of concrete blocks, is rapidly
taking shape The walls are nearly
ready for the roof but proper space
was left for the insertion of the
marble cornerstone, the gift of a
monument company in Meyersdale.
Rev. Kinsinger, of the Mennonite
parish in the Meadow Mountain area,
offered the general prayer and Rev.
A. X. Jones, pastor of the Lutheran
parish at Red House, preached the
sermon. He emphasized the scrip
lures taken from Genesis and St.
Johns Gospel, the words of Jacob
who said, Surely the Lord is in this
place and l knew it not;" and the
statement of Jesus, "Verily, verify,
say unto you: Hereafter, We shall see
heaven open, and the angels of God
ascending and descending upon the
son of Man"
ST. Johns is celebrating her 65th
anniversary this year, having been
organized in 1878. The first building,
a frame structure, was dedicated in
1884 For a number of years the con-
gregation was inactive but in Rev.
Curran's first report to the Lutheran
Synod in 1888 he wrote, "The st.
Johns congregation, which was about
to disband, has taken on new life. A
Sunday school has been organized
and worship services have been main
tanned throughout the year with in
creasing interest"
Temporary repairs were made to
the old building from time to time but
in recent years it was considered
dangerous to continue holding serv-
ices there. Last spring the entire
community became interested in the
erection of a new building. Voluntary
subscriptions were made and both
men and women offered their serv-
ices without cost to the congregation
With so much of the labor and ma,
terials donated by members anc
friends of the congregation, Rev. Cur.
ran and members of the church coun-
Gil feel that the new building may be
dedicated free of all Indebtedness.

War Department Asks
Increased Supply of
Surgical Dressings

With the War Department asking
for an increased number of surgical
dressings by the end of the year,
local workers were urged this week
to increase their output to help meet
the quota.
Mrs. Willard Elliott, chairman of
the surgical dressing unit of the
American Red Cross, quoting from a
letter from the War Department, an
nounced that "all quotas of surgical
dressings assigned through October
will have to be completed and
shipped before the end of this year"
"This MEANS" she continued, "that
approximately 8O,OOO,OOO dressings
must be shipped monthly during
September, October, November and
December"
Locally Mrs. Elliott said, the group
was beginning the June quota this
week. "If we are to complete our
share of the dressings it will mean
that we will have to have many new
workers or a return of many work
ers who, for various reasons, found
it necessary to give up their Red
Cross work during the summer
months" She added that she was
sure everyone would want Garrett
county to finish its share of the so
million dressings each month.

Game Warden Finds
Evidence of Illegal
Killing of Deer
Says Wardens Are On Lookout
For Cars Using Spotlight
In Grain Fields

That there are evidences of much
illegal killing of deer occurring in the
county recently was announced this
week by Elmer Haulenbeek, deputy
game warden.
Mr.. Haulenbeek related that while
patrolling for squirrel hunters the
other day with Fulcher P. Smith,
member of the Game and Inland Fish
Commission, they drove into the
Thousand Acre tract Of land, situated
near the head waters of Deep Creek
Lake, and noticed rather well used
car track road through a field.
Deciding to investigate they found
where two deer had been killed and
following the track left by dragging
the deer out, found, at the edge of the
woods, where the deer had been
dressed. The hides and heads showed
doe and fawn, he said, and added
that evidently buckshot had been
used in the killing. From the condi-
ton of the hides he estimated the
killing had been very recent.
He pointed out that this was the
time of year when illegal killing of
deer occurs and declared that ward
ems were on the lookout for cars
using spotlights, especially around
buckwheat fields and localities where
herds of deer abound.

CANNOT VOTE UNLESS
RESIDENTS HAVE MADE
DECLARATION OF INTENT
Many Incoming Persons Will Be
Deprived OF Voting Privilege
Because They Have Not Com
piled With Law

I'm excess of 100000 American
citizens living in Maryland stand to
lose their right to vote in the Ma
tional elections to be held next year
unless they comply with the Mary
land Declarations of Intentions Act,
which requires them to declare their
intentions to become citizens of Mary
land at least one year before election
date.
The declaration of Intentions act
was passed in 1902, and was designed
to prevent fraudulent registration and
voting. In a number Of instances it
has prevented thousands of citizens
from voting due to their ignorance of
this law, or to their negligence.
In order for those who have moved
into Maryland from other states to be
able to vote next year it is necessary
that they go to the office Of the clerk
of the Circuit Court, Court House,
and declare their intentions to become
resident. This must be done before
November 6. There is no cost for
making this declaration. Those who
have lived in this state for a number
of years and who have never made a
declaration, must go through the
same procedure.
