BLEACHING PLANT
To BE Guilt AT
new MILFORD

: New Milford. Dec. 22-The award
of contracts for. constructing a plant
for bleaching cloth. at an approximate
cost of 100000, apparently makes
certain the establishment here of
new industry.
The b1eachery will be located on
property formerly owned by the New
Milford Electric Light Co.. which,
three years, ago sold its buildings,
equipment and % acres of land, to
Lonsda1e, R. L, syndicate.
At the time it was stated that the
bleachery would be. put up but as
nothing was done it was thought here
the project had lapsed. The bleach
cry is to- be ready in 1871 Expert
ments have Shown that the water of
the Housatonie> river at this point is
excellent for use in cotton cloth
bleaching. At the outset the plant
will give employment to 200 men and
this number will be Increased up to-
40.

FOR ABSOLUTE SAFETY.

Many people wonder why all trolley
cars now come to a full. stop before
crossing any of the draw ~idges. The
rule is one of precaution which is
taken to secure absolute safety. When
the car comes to a stop the conduc-
tor knows that his naotorman is all
right. If the car should not stop,
the conductor would know that some-i
thing was wrong and could throw off
the trolley. and stop the car himself.
Should a notorman become disabled
from any cause, when approaching an
open drawbridge, results might be Sc
rious except for this precaution. :,

D. G. Bibeau has BEEN granted an
amusement license to conduct con-
cert hall in Bank street and State

ton. No women will be allowed to
attend the performance and smoke
cigarettes, neither will they be per-

says that any departure from these

Shortage of Bottles
in England Alarming

London, Dec. 22.-The real excuse
for the recent advance of six cents

Notwithstanding the security for

ought to find in their love of peace

rights of other nations, the charac-
ter of the times particularly incu1-
cafes the lesson, that, whether to pre-
vent or repeI danger, we ought not to
be unprepared for it. This consid-
Grafton will sufficiently recommend to
Congress a liberal provision for the
Immediate extension and gradual
completion of the works of defense,
both fixed and floating, our mari

vision for guarding our inland from

THURMONT BOY MISSING

LET him alone and he will come
home,
This is the stand taken by William
F. Blickenstaff, of Thurmont, in re-
ward to his son, Wilbur, who is said
to have run away from home last
Thursday.
Mr.. Blickenstaff is sure that the boy
will soon get tired of the knocks he
receives out in the world and will
come back to the shelter of his home
of his own accord pretty soon. Young
Blickenstaff is said to be in Wash
ington county with Mehrle Smith, son
of Dr. A. l. Smith, of Wolfsville, who,
it is alleged, ran away from home at
the same time. DR.. Smith received
a letter from his son, which stated
that he was working in Washington
county.
Mr.. Blickenstaff has communicated
with the Hagerstown authorities, but
has received no word from them as
yet.

HERE'S NEW AUTO GRAFT
Arthur ID. Willard FOils Attempts OF
Two Strangers.

There is a new kind of auto graft
being perpetrated on Fredericton
ians, according to Arthur d. Willard,
attorney at law, who reported to the
police last night that two men tried
to play their game on him.
Mr.. Willard says the game" is for
one of the men to step in front of a
slowly moving auto and be knocked
down and for the other to &C: the
part of stranger, hurry to the scene
of the accident, get the number of
the car, and then for the pair to sue
the owner for damages.
That is his conception of what oc-
CURED to him on North Market street
early last night. He was driving his
Overland car at about five miles an
hour, he said, when a man suddenly
jumped from the sidewalk in front of
the machine. Fortunately he was
able to swerve the car to one side in
time to avoid running down the man.
About hundred feet away, he said,
another man stepped out from the
pavement and copied the number of
his license in note book. He says he
is positive they were trying to per-
petrate "hold-up game" on him and
requested other autoists to be warn
ed.
''The best way to stop that kind
of business" said States Attorney
Samuel A. Lewis, who was in police
headquarters when Mr.. Willard made
his complaint, sis to put on full speed
when the man steps in front of youc
car. Then he won't try the stunt
again"

To Have Five-Club League.

Harmony now reigns supreme
among the magnates, the famous Tri-
City League has ceased to exist and
new f1ve-club circuit to take its
place has come into being.
At meeting at which a great deal of
the business was transacted over the
long distance telephone owing to the
Martinsburg delegation getting stuck
in West Virginia mud, the organiza-
ton OF the Baby League was COM
pleted at Hagerstown yesterday.
While such details as player and
salary limit, the matter of applying
for a National Commission charter,
the schedule, the question of trans
portation between the five cities, etc,
have not been decided, and even
though no forfeits have been posted
by any of the five clubs, the league
was organized and is considered a fix
ture.
c. w. Boyer hailing from Hagers-
town, heads the new circuit. D.
Princeton Buckley, president of the
Frederick Baseball Association is
the first vice-president, Thomas K.
Scheller, of Chambersburg, is the Sc
cond vice-president, j. L. Holtsworth,
Of, Gettysburg, is the secretary and
William Stewart, o. Martinsburg, is
treasurer
Following the meeting in Hagers-
town yesterday announcement was
made by officials of the Frederick
Baseball Association that the business
of getting down to the organization
OF the Frederick club will be started
Immediately.
A meeting of the directors of the
Frederick association in all probable
ity will be held within the next week,
when officers for the coming year will
be elected and arrangements made to
sign up flock of players.
Who will head the Frederick asso-
citation this year is a matter that can
not even be guessed at, at this time

ATTENDING A DEMONSTRATION.

Under dairying, the instructor, Mr..
G. E. Wolcott, of the Extension Serv-
ice, spoke on feeding dairy cows,
breeds of dairy cattle, grading up the
herd, raising calves, producing clean
milk, and on the value of COW testing
and breeders associations. He also
gave a practical demonstration of the
Babcock test, and ended his part of
the course with a local stock judging
contest that aroused much interest.
Many Of his lectures were also illus
trated with lantern slides, that showed
much more plainly than words the les.
sons he wished to teach.
Mr.. c. L. Opperman, Of Ridgely Sub
experiment Station, handled the in.
struction in poultry keeping, taking up
in turn the subjects of incubating and
brooding building hen houses, feeding
laying hens, making up poultry
ration, common poultry diseases, mar.
keting poultry products, and the many
other problems that worry the keeper
of the farm flock. He included in his
work a practical demonstration of
eggs for selecting eggs for setting and
the placing of them in an incubator
and operating it, using in this demon
stration machine of standard make,
the whole idea of the neighborhood
short course being to teach by seeing
and doing rather than by simply hear
ing of what ought to be done to secure
better results. An interesting part OF
the course was the asking of questions
by local people and the discussion of
neighborhood problems in dairying and
poultry keeping by the instructors and
their students.
