KENT ISLAND TO FEED
Congressman and Argue Against Sale
TO United States

Kent island will have big feed and
at the same time will argue against
the sale of its homes and farms to
Uncle Sam. There will be a big time
IN the island the next few days.
They are going to get hold OF the
two Senators and six Congressman
from Maryland, treat them to a big
dinner. take them on an automobile
trim over the island, then hold a mass
meeting at Stevensville, at which
leaders in the island and Queen Anne -
county will tell their guests why they
oppose the proposition Of the Govern
ment to take over the island for prov
ing grounds.
Former State Senator James +. kir-
wan and other Kent Islanders went tc
Baltimore last night to arrange Tor
the trip. The Senator will charter a
steamer while there, on which the triE
will be made, probably on Saturday

Civilization" Greatest Of Films

There are pictures that are land
marks or milestones in the evolution
of the human race. Civilization, ,,
the greatest of films which is to be the
special big attraction at the Colonial
Theatre tomorrow and Saturday maci-
nee and evening, is indeed real land :
mark. Nothing of it's kind has hither-
to been shown, nothing so stupendoue
has ever before been conceived by the
brain Of man. Mr.. Ince, must have
had it in him, but the magnificent
spectacle of war as it is now being
shown in real life on the other side of
the Atlantic, is staggering in its de.
tail, and mammoth in its constructive
dramatic value. The story of "Civili-
cation has to do with the inventor of
submarine boat, Count Ferdinand,
who refuses to put his deadly engine
of war into action because of the plea
for humanity made by the woman he
loves. Finding himself at sea and in
command Of his submarine boat, Coun
Ferdinand refuses to carry out an or
der to sink an ocean liner. There are
scenes of battle on land and sea that
give the feeling Of reality. A tiny
baby toddIing to meet her father on
his return from the war is human
touch that won admiration for Mr..
Ince as master Of detail. In short,
Civilization is gigantic and won
derful moving picture production.

PLATE BETTER THAN BRIDGE
Cannot Be Used by Dentists in Pre-
pairing Men for War, However,
As II Is Barred by Army.

ssThe most conscientious dentists
are avoiding crowns and bridges
wherever possible said DR.. Frank S.
Delano of New York, secretary of the
Dentists Preparedness association, In
discussing the difficulties the 200
members of this association are hav-
ing with putting the mouths of would
be recruits into condition for their ae-
ceptance by the army and navy.
1.-THE navy will accept men with
plates to replace teeth they have lost !;
the army will not, but makes no objec-
ton to men with crowns and bridges"
continued Doctor Delano. Men come
to us to have their teeth put into con-
dition, and we should like to make
plates for them, but as the army re-
! cruiting officers reject men with plates,
we have to put in bridges. This is
unfortunate, because bridge means
the certain death before long of the
two teeth to which it is anchored.
1.-THE general public ought to know
this about bridgework. Many people
object TO a plate. but they would not
IL they knew they were saving money
by it. After the anchor teeth die,
trouble begins; very soon the teeth
have to come out, and either larger
bridge or a plate is necessary. If a
larger bridge be put in, 1t means the
death of two more teeth, and ultimate
ly you have to come to the plate"

The Essentials Of Gardening.

The essentials for successful gar
dening on small or large scale are
soil, water and cultivation. Much de-
ponds also on the grower, the season
and the crops selected.
The soil is the storehouse of plant
food. The garden, therefore, should
contain humus or rotted material In
large quantities. The gardener should
remember that about so per cent of
ordinary earth is not soil at all, but
consists of air and water.
Water makes plantfood that is pres
ent freely soluble. Rain and snow
water are soft and contain ammonia.
The magic of soft water on the plant
world Is one of the miracles of good
gardening, as everyone who has con-
trasted the effect of rain with that
produced by sprinkling with hose
realizes. Plants are succulent and
contain large amounts of water which
they have to draw from the soil.

CAN'T RIDE ON FAST TRAINS
Italian Soldiers Resort to Many Tricks
TO Evade Order When Going Home
on Leave Of Absence.

One OF the most frequent causes OF
arrests of soldiers of the Italian army
is not for drunken or dis0rderly con-
duct, but for violation of the order
that when given leave of absence 70
visit their homes they shall ride on
slow and not express trains. Soldiers
exert all their ingenuity TO evade the
order. They are always In a hurry
to reach their homes, after many
months absence, and as they generally
reserve but narrow margin of their
leave for the return trip, they are in
a hurry to arrive at their posts be-
fore 1t expires. Since the reduction
Of fast trains on the railroads, as a
coal-saying measure. policemen have
been stationed on each fast train to
prevent soldiers, who ride free, from
travelling on them. Recently on the
Rome-Florence express a policeman
found a big, healthy-looking soldier
who, of course, had no paid ticket.
"What are you doing hereT" demand
ed the policeman.
I'm going home from the hospital"
answered the soldier.
"You don't look as If you had ever
seen the inside of one" the other re-
torted.
The soldier silently threw back his
cape with his left hand. His entire
right arm and shoulder blade were
missing.
II guess you've earned the right to
ride on the expresses" said the police
man and passed on.

CHICKS KILLED
IN THEIR SHELLS
Heavy Guns Bring Death in lncu-
batting Stage
EXTENDS OVER WIDE AREA
Argument Advanced by Residents Of
Queen Annts and Talbot Counties
Against Occupation Of Kent
Island

Farmers and farmers wives and
daughters of Queen Annes and Talbot
counties are up in arms because they
have been informed that if Kent Is
land is to be transformed into an ORD
nance proving ground ell the incuoat.
ing chicks within miles of the island
will be killed. The theory of the
prospective havoc is based upon death
to the chick caused by heavy thunder.
The threatened disaster is greater
and more widespread than the rural
population on the main shore can con-
template with ECU animity. The poui-
try industry is important and protita-
bic in Queen Annes and Talbot and II
DESTROYED the losses will amount into
thousands of dollsrs annually. 1t is
even contended that the captain of in
dustry, the clearinghouse keepers,
will no longer be able to draw their
supplies of fried chickens and eggs
from the adjacent country, while the
people who pay return visits In the
summer to their country relatives will
no longer be regsled with fried chick
en- la Maryland.
1t is also claimed the heavy and
constant detonations of the cannon will
have q bliRhting effect on fish and
crabs, and perhaps. in oyster spawn.
There is even apprehension that the
far-famed rock will disappear from
Kent Narrows. Wild geese and
ducks. for which the island is also
famed, will surely give the island
wide berth, while the cannon roar.
There is even fear that the heavy de-
donations will make continuous rainy
spell for miles around the island.
Great pressure is being brought to
bear on the War Department by resi-.
dents of Love Island to take over
Kent Island, thus insuring the re-
moval of the ordnance proving station
