Pranky Alien Terrorizes

What are supposed to be the pranks OF
an insane alien have terrorized farmers
along the Elkton road, about two miles
from Newark, to such a degree that
posse was organ7 ed Sunday afternoon
and for several hours unsuccessfully
searched the Bowers and Campbell woods,
where the man is supposed to live in
huts that he has erected
1t is the belief of the residents that the
man, who is making mysterious visits to
farmers in the locality, is the same who
last week, after turning COW loose
from the barn of John Myers, tied a wo-
mans gold watch and chain to the halter
around the cows neck.
Saturday night a jar of preserves and
two razors were stolen from the Myers
house. Early Sunday a hired man who
had slept in the barn, observed foreign
er prowling around. He gave the hired
man an empty jar and two razors, saying
"Much obliged"

farm, found dozen eggs on her porch,

Mecca For Marriages No More

Wilmington's day as Gretna Green
has gone glimmering. The new marriage
Jaw went into effect this week and it
makes it impossible to issue wedding
license and certificate to anybody that
comes along at any old time.
The new order of things was instituted
by the last General Assembly. Non-resi-
dents will have to show -FOUR days
residence in Wilmington before they ran
obtain a license. They also Will have
to be identified, so that fictitious ad-
dresses may not be given. These hard
ships foil the plans of youthful roman
GERS whose paths to matrmony hereto
fore have been made easy by Whining
ton magistrates and marrying parsons" :"
\ twentyfour hour lapse between the
issuance of the license and the wedding
ceremony is also provided by the new
Jaw.

Fruit Badly Hurt

The latest report from all counties on
the peninsula from Wilmington 10 Cape
Charles are to the effect that the grow
ing crops and small fruits as wen as lar
ger fruits were badly damaged recently
by the cold weather. cold rains and wind
storms, and that there will practically
be no peaches, few plums and hardly any
pears. While the buds are still on the
trees it is said the cold weather and the
three big frosts of that week have prac-
tically killed the fruit and that the buds
will gradually drop off and leave the trees
bare.
The most discouraging reports come
from Delaware. Not only have the pea
ches, pears and plums been practically
wiped out, but cherrise have been dam
aged and strawberries, blackberries,
raspberries and the smaller vegetables
have been ruined by wind, rain and
frosts.
Some of the strawberry experts say
that the crop has been damaged so that
there will not probably be more than
half yield, and unless the weather
changes very soon not that much OF
crop can be expected. The apple crop is
said to be about the only fruit which
has withstood onslaught of the elements
during the past two weeks.
The very warm weather caused the
trees and small plants to bud out much
earlier than usual and they were in a ten
der condition when the cold weather and
frosts struck them. 1t is to be hoped
that the reports will not prove true in
every respect as the loss of fruit crop
to the farmers of the peninsula would
mean millions of dollars to this section
of Maryland.

BASE BALL

The Tri-County League "OPENS it's sea-
son today Saturday. with a null sche-
dule, printed in another column Elk
ton goes into the League race handi
capped by want OF practice, as was de-
monstrated in the practice game or Sat
urday last. The youngsters of the Iron
Hill team played rings around the Elk
ton boys, simply because the latter had
evidently done little or nothing this ca
son in the way of handling ball or bat.
The only way to play the game Is TO
PLAY 1T, and those who iaIi to interest
themselves in practice should at once
be made to understand that rneir SER
vices are not wanted 1t Is not worth
while to be mealy mouthed about the
matter. The people who enjoy the sport
and put up the time, trouble and money
to keep it going should have the hearty
interest and cooperation of the boys
"ho like to play ball and who want to
play. The managers will do well to
play no favorite." in picking a team
for each game, but out of goodly string
of interested men who practice should
take those who are showing the best
form at any given time. I'nar IS the
way to have big bunch of ball players
working to win for the town, as we'll as
for the pleasure they get out of the
thing themselves. The boys who are not
willing to go into the game cheerfully in
this spirit are not the kind of boys who
will likely prove of much value in build
ing up winning team 1t is up to the
boys themselves to show this kind of
spirit and they can count on being back
ed by people who want good seasons
