County's Farm Income
Shows Large Increase

More than doubling their annual
gross income in comparison with 1910,
as reported by the U. S. Bureau of
Census, Garrett County farm fami-
lies last year produced crops and
livestocks with the record value of
more than 1891 900.
This huge increase in farm revenue
has already created heavy demand
for general farm improvements and
for home remodeling.
The study shows that many farm
improvements were made even dur
ing the war. Since 1910, for example
the number Of farm homes reporting
electric lights here has increased from
3S4 to 897. Heavy demand for such
undermining as installation of run
ming water, Improvement Of bath
rooms and kitchen layouts has al
ready resulted.
Farmers in the county today have
230 more tractors than in 1910, ac-
cording to the Bureau of Census, and
that the number Of trucks on farms
has likewise increased substantially

charged with firing Il pistol at Con-

night about 9 o'clock, on Water street,
Mr.. Moon had just few minutes
previous to that time served the man
with another warrant for his arrest,
near the Maryland Theatre. Edging
down the alley the man turned and
ran with Constable Moon close at his
heels.
Mr.. Moon said Dewitt had threat
ened him with a pistol in the alley,
declaring if he didn't leave him alone
he would shoot Mr. Moon said De-
Witt turned and fired at him as the
pair were running east on Water
street, between Second and Third
streets
He then disappeared and Mr.. Moon
obtained Corporal Thomas Currie,
Sheriff Coddington and deputy
Sheriff J. S. Teats, and the four spent

without success.
1t was stated Dewitt had been a
patient at the SPRINGFIELD State
mental hospital at Sykesville upon
two previous occasions and there had
been reports of unusual behavior
lately on the streets Of Oakland
which was the reason for the serving
of the first warrant.
