electric storm struck most of Garrett
county about 7:15 o'clock on Monday
morning. uprooting and swapping off
numerous trees, cutting off the cleo
trio power interrupting telephone
communications, and causing other
damage throughout the area.
Trees bore the brunt of the storm
that descended suddenly upon the area
with a rush of wind and rain, and in
some cases hail Most Of the trees that
were fCllcd or broken were "thc
mighty oaks, of which there are
many in this section, but the naples
and in a few cases the pine trees did
not entirely escape.
A tree across the power line at Hut
ton was the cause of the interruption
in the electric service for about three
hours, while falling trees and limbs
in other sections caused local damage
to electric and telephone lines. Repairs
were made as quickly as possible by
crews of the West Maryland Power
and the c. and P. Telephone company,
So far as is known the trees in fall
ing around the neighborhood came
down without harming houses, and
there was no extensive damage to
crops reported in any section. Many
apples, cherries, etc., were knocked
from the trees. Some trees across
highways caused some traffic delay.
Falling trees hit some tombstoncS in

Chairman Says individuals Arc
Going To Have To Dig" If
Garrett County Is To
Reach Its Quota

With only Sal, 1926 reported
in the sale Of bonds in the fifth
war loan drive, the campaign to
raise $275, ZOO continues to be
extremely sluggish, it was said
his morning by Ii. c. Riggs, the
county chairman.
Individual sales especially were
said to be at low cbb. and Mr.. Riggs
declared that individuals are going
to have to dig" if Garrett County is
to reach its quota.
OF the quota of $275,00O which the
county is expected to contribute,
$145,000 is expected to be raised By
individuals through the purchase Of
'E" bonds. Up to and including June
10. the sale of "E" bonds totaIed only
SIS, 7O6.25.
The entire report showed a total Of
Sal ,428.25, Mr.. Riggs said he had re
ceivcd assurances of further pur-
chascs from both individuals and
corporations. The total of this week
does not include certain amounts to
be credited from the Baltimore and
Ohio Railroad company, the Davis
Coal and Coke company, and por-
ton of 50 million dollars in bonds
purchased by the state from various
funds.
The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company advised the State committee
that it had allocated $25O,OO0 of it's
subscription to AIlcgany and Garrett
county, and Mr.. Riggs presumed that
Garrett county's allotment would be
based on the percentage of the quotas
that both counties are expected to
raise, which would indicate Garrett
county would be credited with about
$25,00O There will also be a credit of
$500 from the State Employees Re
tiremcnt System of Maryland.
A purchase of $500 in 212 percent
bonds by a county individual is also
being credited to the countys quota.
Mr., Riggs pointed out that hun
drcds of thousands of our fighting
men were really enduring hardships,
living under the worst possible CON
ditions, and still buying war bonds
besides, and declared those who arc
left at home, living in comparative
