Light Trucks Add To
Profits Of Gardeners

Foresight and far-sightedness are
both shown by Charles F. Seabrook,
of Bridgetown, n. j., whose truck
farms are the wonder of the country
and the delight of all who visit them.
The largest truck garden in the
United States is built up around the
word speed for on rapidity of
transportation depends much of Mr..
Seabrook's profits. His experience
shows the place of the light truck
such as Smith Form-a-Truck on the
modern farm.
Indicative of Mr. Seabrook's belief
in the efficacy of trucks is his install
lation of "a system which is based
about motor trucks. These carry his
perishable articles from the farms TO
the railway station, few miles away.
At the other end of the line, in New
York, he has other trucks waiting, to
rush the vegetables to the large dis
tributing places in quickest possible
time, for a few hours mean the diff
ference between an exceptionally
large price for Seabrook products and
ordinary profit.
These farms and the genius who
brought them from common New
Jersey place" to the best of their
kind, were featured in a national
weekly recently. and especial en-
phasis was placed on the fact that
reliance was placed in the trucks to
assure speed and to insure profits.

Reports Of Submarine Sunk With
Three Shots Off Brest

The officers Of q British steamship
which arrived Saturday at an Atlantic
port from France were confident that
the gunners on their ship had destroy
ed German submarine off Brest on
the eastward voyage in July. Three
shots were fired from the inch quo
at the stern. and it was believed that
all of them hit the mark and sent the
U boat to the bottom of the Bay of
Biscay.
The first shell struck the periscope
of the submarine, the second hit her
below the forward coming tower, and
the last shot, which was succeeded by
q loud explosion, struck the undersea
craft squarely amidships, and that was
her finish, the officers of the freighter
said.

lies as lost, the Captain and six mem.

To the Mayor, Counselor and Alder
men of the City of Annapolis:
Gentlemen:

For the most part of the month of
July the condition of the water has
been fairly good, but it has been pos
sible to maintain this condition only
by allowing to run off large fuanti-
ties that were discolored as a result
of the rain storms. The consequence
is that the head at the reservoirs has
gone down steadily. This decrease of
the supply has been aggravated by
the excessive quantity being used by
the increasing number of street and
lawn sprinklers, and by this ordinary
waste of persons who are not as care
full as they should be in keeping their
plumbing in order.
The reports of the superintendent,
the Engineer, the Collector, and the
Treasurer were duly made, the latter
showing the emergency fund bearing
interest, $15,195,14, and current ac-
count in the Farmers National Bank
and the Annapolis Banking & Trust
Co. $1.973.43

The last two questions would have
been answered to the satisfaction OF
those now seeking the murderer Of
Mrs. Brandon, much that is painful
that has grown out of this case would
have been spared to a broken-hearted
husband aud neighbors who have fall
en- under suspicion, had bloodhounds
been secured and used instead of the
PhiIo Gubb and Sherlock Holmes
method. This method is now used by
those who seek the murderer, who,
no doubt, is far afield from ground that
they now cover in their search. Then,
at least, those in the neighborhood
nnder suspicion would have been elm
thated frJm the list of suspects, or
the criminal found were he among
men.
No man can have his soul weighted
with the burden of this horrible act
without giving some sign of troubled
conscience. But, if not entirely hard
ened by crime, like others of his type,
he'll reveal his identity when he finds
that the clamor of conscience can only
be eased and given relief by confes.
sion. Fortunately, however, for the
murderer and unfortunately for the
cause of justice the unerring trailer Of
the criminal, the bloodhound, was not
put upon the trail soon after the dis
covery of the crime.
