Young School Teacher Makes Money
Miss Estella Cohee, who lives be-
tween Magnolia and Bowers Beach.
has opened up an industry on the
farm of her father which promises
to give her very good remuneration
for the summer work. Miss Cohee
is a school teacher and is doing good
work in that line. Last winter the
thought occurred to her that she
might be able to realize a snug sum
from the raising of young ducks for
the market. She Immediately got
in communication with the managers
of several hotels in Philadelphia
with the result that she soon re-
ceived orders for several hundred of
them. Miss Cohee now has almost
a thousand ducks, which are beginn-
ing to feather out, all of which.
with the aid of her mother she has
raised herself. 1t is a sight to see
the ducks at feeding time. Miss Co.
hee buys meal with which to feed
them, one of the conditions made
by the hotel is being that they
should not be fed on fish or crabs.
She expects to commence the ship.
ping of the ducks when they are fully
feathered out, and will continue tC
ship them until they are all gone.
The ducks which Miss Cohee ii
raising are of a special breed anC
will clear her about Is cents each
At this rate the raising of duck
pays better than school teaching. =

Armour Company at RidgeIY Does

Much to increase Land Value
The Armour Company, at Ridge
ly, Md. it is understood, has pre-
served 1000, 900 quarts of straw
berries this year, and could have
preserved as many more had they
have room for more csppers. 1t is
also understood that the company
will contract with farmers next
year for berries capped for 6 cents
per quart and their crates back.
This kind of arrangement would
give the pickers Steady work, pick
ing and Gaping, and it is believed
that this would add much to the
berry industry to the company, to
the farmers and to the pickers. The
company is now buying and manu-
featuring all the blackberries they
can get at home or abroad. When
the 200 acres now set in cherries
and the 400 acres set in blackberries
come in full bearing, it would seem
to one who knows but little about
the business that this will be one
of the greatest and best industries
this country has ever known. The
biggest work done by this company
this year was one carload Of 205 AZ
quart crates in As minutes.
1t is a fact that farmers have
suffered for want of help during the
Gaming season, but who can say,
after all, but that the Armour Com
pahy's coming to Ridgely has been
great blessing to the laboring
class of people of town and
community, as we'll as to berry
growers, who realized more out Of
their berries this year than they
could have done had they shipped
them or sold them at the exchange.
In my humble opinion. their coming
and establishing their great enter
prise in cur town has advanced the
price of land within miles not less
than S25 per acre. know of land
within mile or RldgeIy, poor,
worn-out land, without buildings,
that could have been bought years
ago for $50 or $40 per acre. which
has been sold for SIS an acre since
the Armour Company came.
The Salisbury cannery did the
best work this year in its history
in the packing of peas-55, 600 cases
packed in about 10 days. The aver
age crop is said to have been better
than usual. While some farmers, on
low land in particular, secured poor
crops, others on higher and better
land, got better yields, some get

Cora Carey, colored, about 25

her newly born baby on July 4. and

Magistrate Lewis on a charge of
assault with intent to commit MUIR

State Detective Frank Mccoy
made the arrest and according to
him the woman attempted to
strangle the babe on Thursday. The
child, now five days old, is living
and those having it in charge expect
it to recover. On the morning of
July q, according to Mccoy, John
Bartley, dogcatcher at Middletown,
was notified that bag of cats was
lying in a field on the outskirts of
the town. He went to the place
and carried the bag, still thinking
it contained cats, to town and was
dumfounded when he opened the bag
to find that it contained an infant.

NO CLUE is OBTAINED OF
THE MISSING MILFORD MAN
MANY INCLINED TO BELIEVE
EDGAR MAHAN MET FOUL PLAY
Was Last Seen on Lonely Road Walk
ing to His Home-Or. Frank L.
Grier and Others Search

The whereabouts of Edgar Mahan,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar Mahan,
of West Front Street, North Mil
ford, who 50 mysteriously disappeared
between the hours of II O'Clock
Tuesday morning are still unknown.
Searching parties continued the
search for him until late at night,
and in the morning they were still
at work again. DR.. Frank L. Grier,
one of the officers of the Caulk Den
tai Company. where young Mahan
worked, is leaving no stone unturned
in his efforts to find some trace of a
rumor that he was seen at Harring-
ton, where he boarded northbound
train, proved this to be fasehood,
and the awful fact that he must
have met with foul play is beginning
to dawn upon the citizens of the
town.
Wednesday morning parties were
wading about in the mud and what
water is left in Silver Lake, which
was drained for the purpose of try
ing to locate the body of MIR. Mahan
if he should have been in it. From
the first, however, most of the
people have secuted the idea that it
would be found IN this place, and so
far their prediction have proven
true. On the east side of Peabody
avenue, the street from which he is
supposed to have disappeared. a
low, muddy marsh covered with
small bushes and spladderdocks was
being hdnted from end to end We'd
nesday morning. This place is so
soft, however. that it is almost
dangerous for a person to walk
about in it. Most of the persons
who have kept up with the case
think if the body of Mr.. Mahan is
found it will be found in this place.
As a result of the disappearance
of her son Mrs. Mahan is confined to
her bed, and is in a serious con-
dition. Seveal times yesterday
afternoon and evening her life was
despaired of by the physician who is
in constant attendance. The street
feo77 which Mr.. Mahan is supposed
TO have vanished is considered one
aof the most dangerous and lonely
places in Milford, and is frequented
very but little at night. 1t fol-
lows the railroad on the west and
the marsh on the east. while both
its northern and southern approaches
are made by bridges. The northern
most one is located at the place
known locally as the Grace, >" and
a general loafing place for tramps
and worthless buns who drop into
the town. Several residents of that
section of the town state that for
the past three days three tramps OF
more than usual mean appearance
have been camping at the place,
but yesterday morning they had al
disappeared, the fact gives much
color to the "foul play" argument
which is now being heard on al
sides. 1t has been practically proven
that Mr.. Mahan did not leave towl
after he left the home of Miss Rache
Hill where he had been spending
the evening.
