HARRINGTON PROTESTS THE
SEIZURE OF KENT ISLAND.

Truckers ale Much wrought Up over
Proving Grounds Plan.
WASHINGTON. July 11.--Governor
Emerson C. Harrington, as repre-
sentative of the whole state, yester-
day protested to the Secretary of
War against the proposal of the War
Department to take over Kent Is
land with the result of sending into
exile. the 5000 men, women and chill
dren who now have their homes
there.
This protest was contained in a
communication which the governor
sent over from Annapolis last night,
reaching here this morning. 1t point
ed out the manifest hardship which
such a program as the department
had initiated would work on 4
great body of Maryland peop'e and
appealed to the secretary to leave
undisturbed this thriving and happy
community.
Governor Harrington at the same
time made it clear that the state
would more than welcome the loca-
ion of an artillery proving ground
within its borders; that he and the
whole state. administration would
gladly cooperate with the army in
finding a suitable place elsewhere,
But he added, he could not stand by
and see the hundreds of people on
Kent Island banished from their
homes without voicing his earnest
protest

FINDS DAN0ELI0N AMONG
BEST HONEY PRODUCERS
State EntomOlogist Says IL is Also
Useful in Making Wine.
Makes Early Bee Food.

INDIANAPOLIS Ind, March s.
Another use in addition TO max
ing wine has been found for the
dandeliOn by ID. w. Erbaugh, an
assistant state entomologist. He
says he considers the dandelion one
Of the most useful honey producing
flowers known. Mr.. Erbaugh not
only looks after many OF the bees
in the state as part of his work,
but also has many hives of his own.
Prospects for a good honey crop
in Indiana this year are good. he
says. Last year Indiana produced
more honey than ever before and
the present conditions are almost
equally good for 1917. he adds.
There may be less clover available
for the bees to work on. because of
the dry weather late last year, but
il is believed the sugar maple and
linden trees will bloom this year.
They are regarded as rich in honey
when they bloom.
The dandelion blooms at an OPP
perfume time for the bees. Erbaugh
says. II is in blossom early in the
spring and continues to flower late
II is the first food for the bees
when they go from the hive in the
spring. In spite of the way the
dandelion has been fought and dug
out. Erbaugh says it is on the in
crease in Indiana.
