FATAL AUTO ACCIDENT.
William L. Gross Crushed To Death
Under HIS Machine

William L. Gross. of Pilot, Cecil
county. met with fatal automobile acci-
dent on Saturday morning last. at Pleas
ant Grove, Pa. He started on business
trip to Lancaster in his Ford auto, about
seven O'Clock in the morning, and had
just reached Pleasant Grove, only two
or three miles from his home. when the
accident occurred
Just how il happened is not known. but
the supposition is he was seized with an
attack of vertigo. to which he was subject,
and lost consciousness before he could
stop his machin,
This is borne out by the fact that the
engine was shut off and brake set when
the machine was examined after the acci-
dent
The theory is that he felt the attack
coming on and did everything to stop the
machine but lost control of the wheel be-
fore the auto came to stand-still The
machine ran up the bank at the road side,
turned completely over and landed on It's
wheels again. Mr.. Gross was caught
underneath as the machine turned turtle
and his head completely crushed, death
being instant. The accident was witness
ed by several men who were at the black
smith shop not far distant.
They hastened 10 the scene but the un-
fortunate man was beyond human aid.
The machine sustained but slight
damage. the windshield being broken and
steering gear slightly bent.
Mr. Gross had conducted successful
mercantile business at Pilot for years
past He was 43 years of age and is SUR
vived by his wife.
The funeral was held on Tuesday
morning. with interment at Bethesda M.
P. cemetery. Oakwood.

On reading minutes of previous
meeting Pres Kimble reported in
behalfof the Legislative Committee,
that he had been present at Anna
polls during the consideration of
the Legislation in behalf of the
Maryland Agricultural College,
bnt the measure for the uplift of
Agriculture in Maryland was de-
feated by the Senate permitting a
rider put in the bill, permitting the
old trustees to remain on the board.
The whole matter being chargeable
largely to the Indifference, and
luke warmness of the farming
community in supporting the
measures. He urged that the farm
ers of the state should call mass
meeting with prominent national
speakers on the program to insist
on recognition in these and other
matters vital to the interest of the
farmer.
Later in the meeting on motion
of T. B. Miller, the following COM
mittee were appointed to consult
and arrange with all the farmer
of the County, and
with nation wide speakers, and
for a place of meeting, and
report at the June meeting. On
that committee we're appointed J.
H. Kimble chairman, Elwood Bal
derston, I. Wayne Reynolds and
M. G. Reeder.

Experiments being asked for by
the Pres, j. 81. Maxwell reported
drilling 1900 lbs. ground lime on
sod, he will note results.
Elwood Balderston noted poor
set of crimson clover, and asked
whether sowing ahead Of wheel
cultivator, thus covering too deep
was the cause. Opinion was gen.
eral the crop was winter killed..
as there were no good stands of
clover (crimson) noted this spring.
Jos. Scarborough whom the Club
were particularly grateful, to have
with them on this occasion, re-
ported his experience in making
soft soap from unleached wood
ashes. He advised everyone who
burned wood for fuel to resume the
old fashioned method of teaching
and making your own soap.
I. Wayne Reynolds stated that
from 8 acres of corn, this year he
has 81 Id $4OO worth in profit of
steers, and 5000 in hogs, and has
corn to sell beside. He further
stated the steers gained an average

Captain Baldwin, the race
will not be difficult. I figure
that the aviators will have to
travel $4,000 miles. OF course
1t will be necessary for two
pilots to travel in each ma
chine SO that they can relieve
each other.
Motors now are made SO
that they are fairly reliable.
and the trips across the water
for stretches of 500 or 500
miles may be accomplished
with comparative ease. The
trip by land over Europe and
