"A new invention. which may compe
the rebuilding of all the navies Of tn
world, is announced. 1t is backed b,
the well-known Westinghouse Company
The invention consists of Improvement
in the turbine engine, making it NOR,
practical than it has been. If applied

would add two knots an hour to the
speed, reduce the weight by 2.150 tons
and save 50, 900. 900 in cost of construc.
ton. These ut least are the claims
made.
The many friends of Patrolman
Jacob Payne, formerly of Snow Hill and
now of the Baltimore police force, will
be glad to learn of his promotion to the
rank of sergeant. For some time he
has been employed in the Office OF the
Marshall of Police and has been CON-
mended for his good work there. The
Office records are now so kept that they
can be referred to at seconds notice.
Sergeant Payne will retain his place in
the Office and the new rank will make
little difference in his duties but means
an increase in salary.

The MESSENGER last week contain
ed local item stating that the game
season will open generally on November
first. 1t was not intended that this
item refer to Worcester County but it
seems that quite number of people
have so construed it. 1t will not be
lawful to kill rabbit. quail or woodcock
in Worcester Comfy before the 18th
day of November, and this notice is
given for the purpose of setting straight
any who construed the local of last
week to mean that the law had been
changed. Please remember that you
cannot kill game before November 18th.
Eggs are now selling for 30 and 33
cents dozen, and they will be much high
err before Christmas. What is more pro-
fitable than raising good laying hens
with their product selling for such
prices? Let the farmer answer. More,
hens are not much trouble to the house
wife, and they consume much worthless
stuff that often goes into the refuse
dump. II properly cared for-fed well
and judiciously and provided with dry,
comfortable quarters-the hen will
prove a good money producer. Our
Eastern Shore housekeepers would pro-
fit if more of their time and attention
were devoted to the hen.
Everybody realizes that good crop
of corn depends primarily upon good
seed. Everybody who is up to date also
appreciates the fact that to get good
seed it must be selected before freezing
weather sets in. Do it carefully for
your yield next year depends upon your
judgment in getting corn that will grow
ears of as nearly the ideal type as pos
sible, and the care you give these ears
after selection. If you need only
small amount, tie these ears together
with binding Irvine. Tie them to the
rafters in the barn or granary until they
are thoroughly dry. Ifyou have large
quantity. place it in drying house or
some place where the moisture will be
removed before cold weather arrives.
The seed corn problem is of the great
est Importance, and the time to solve it
is right now. Don't neglect it under
any circumstances.
