LOCAL AUTO|STS MAKE
TRIP TO NEW ENGLAND
Tell Of Delightful Roads Found on
Journey Taking Them Into
Eleven States.

Returning from a motor trip through
the New England states. party OF
local motorists tell of the delightful
roads and beautiful scenery on an
1,s0o-mile trip, which carried them
through eleven states. The party was
composed of Mrs. W. L. Belt, Miss Mary
Oliphant. Miss Mary Wolfe and Miss
Bessie Buckley, in a Ford touring car
and Miss Marguerite Boswell and her
brother, Ceylon Boswell, in a Regal
roadster. Their itinerary carried the
motorists to Portland, Me-, crossing the
White mountains into Burlington, Vt,
and thence home.
They travelled only by daylight, the
first night stop being at Belair. Md
From there the route continued to
Philadelphia, crossing the Susquehanna
river at Havre de Grace. where 81 toll
was paid. Just before entering Ches-
ter they were stopped by young man
waving a large red flag with the legend
had been sent out by the Quaker City
Motor Club to warn visitors that while
the signs read fifteen miles per hour,
1t really meant ten miles, and that
Sunday was a special day for making
big hauls.
Warned Of Chester Trap.
From the Quaker city they took the
ferry over to Camden, N. j.. paying
25 cents in addition to the 20 cents
toll on the Chester pike. Arriving on
Jersey soil. the run was continued
through Camden, Lakewood, Point
Pleasant. Seagirt, Spring Lake, Bel
mar, Ocean Grove and Asbury Park.

lowed through Allenhurst, Deal, 81

ford, New porp and Stapleton, where

MOTOR PLOWS TESTED
AT FAIR IN DENMARK
Cheaper to Operate Than Horses
Machines Attract Interest
Among Danes.

At the agricultural fair held at vejle.
Denmark, recently, a demonstration
was given Of three different motor
plows-one manufactured in Denmark,
one in Sweden and one in America.
These plows were of the smaller type,
suitable for an average-sized farm.
Two of the outfits were equipped with
sixteen n-horsepower engines and one
with twelve-horsepower engine; their
travelling speeds ranged between one
and half and two miles per hour. All
were of the one-man type. When the
necessary attachments are at hand the
same tractors can be used for pulling
binders. Two of them can be used for
thrashing purposes or other belt work
without any changes. while in order to
do this with the Danish tractor an ex-
tended shaft with pulley is required.
No calculation was made at this DEM
onstration. according to the report Of
United States Consul General e. D.
Wtnslow, stationed at Copenhagen, as
to what the cost of plowing per acre
would be. but it is clearly evident that
power blowing is considerably cheaper
than when horses are employed, consid-
ering that horses at the present mo-
ment are very expensive and that feed
and labor are high. At present there
are IN Denmark quite a few larger
blowing outfits at work, and while
these smaller outfits seemed to arouse
considerable interest among the owners
OF average-sized farms. 1t is yet to be
seen TO what extent they can be sold

:, Sunday afternoon Marshal Copeland
was called to the home of w. X.
Clarke, where he found two hoboes
in the custody of Jack Dale and his
gun. The two men had stolen some
food and. bottle of milk from the
back door at the Clark home, while
the family were visiting at the home
of the Jack Dales' next door. Mrs.
Clark saw them from the window, and
Mr.. Dale held them up until the po-
lice arrived. The theft was. small but
was only one of many that have been
perpetrated there recently and else
where in that end of town. The men
evidently were accustomed to lift"
things as one Of them had a rubber
bag under his coat to slip things into
and not be noticed.

WITHDRAW BOOK DEPOSITS

Announcement is made by the ad-
ministration of the local schools that
all pupils who have book deposits
must surrender their receipts and
claim their book deposits prior to
June first. Failure to make such
claim prior to that date will mean
forfeiture of the deposit. The rea-
son for this ruling is.to avoid the diff
ficulty experienced this last year of
having pupils make claim for their
previous years deposits upon the re-
commencement of school in the fall.
The deposits for each year have to
be- closed up permanently hereafter
by the first of June.
