A CHAPTER OF ACCIDENTS.
Scalded BY Exploding Can or
Tomatoes.

Mrs. Elmira Pyle, of this town,
met with very painful accident on
Thursday afternoon of last week,
which placed her under the doctors
care. Putting can of tomatoes in
the oven to warm before opening for
dinner, they we're forgotten until
they became boiling hot. Finally
remembering the tomatoes Mrs Pyle
took the can from the oven and go
ing to the outer kitchen was pro-
ceeding carefully to open them by
gradually prying up the lid. In an
instant there was an explosion that
threw scalding hot tomatoes all over
Mrs Pyle and the ceiling and walls
of the kitchen, there being none of
the product left in the can. Mrs.
Pyle was terribly scalded about the
face, neck, hands and arms, her
suffering being intense.

CECIL COUNTY GOES OVER THE
TOP.
Liberty Loan Oversubscribed Nearly
Double,

Cecil county responded nobly to
the call for subscriptions to the
Third Liberty Loan, every District
not only pledging it's required quota
but going SO far lover the top" that
it is thought when the complete re-
turns are made up it will show the
county doubled it's apportionment.
The quota for the county was $780,
400, and the total amount subscrib-
ed through the seven banks in Cecil
reached $633,000. In addition to
this the county will receive credit
for subscriptions taken by the
Pennsylvania railroad for it's en-
ployes residing in Cecil. which will
undoubtedly bring the amount sub
scribed to fully double the county's s
quota.
The quota of Rising Sun National
Bank was $66,100, and the popu-
larity of the Loan in this section is
by the fact that subscrip-
tions taken at this institution
amount to 100000.
The quota of the Sixth District
was $35,e50, which was oversub-
scribed by several thousand dollars.
When the figures for the various
Districts are tabulated they will be
published in our columns.

ENTERS RACE FOR CONGRESS
Omar ID. Crothers, of Ellxton, SHES
Hat In Ring.

State Senator Omar d. Crothers
of Elkton, has announced his candi.
dacy for the Democratic nomination
for Congress in the First district
comprised of the nine Eastern Shore
counties.
That he was seriously contem-
plating being a candidate has been
known for some time. 1t was not
expected, however, that he would
toss his hat into the ring until some
later date. He is getting into the
fight early so as to begin his cam
paign at once, and intends to keep
things humming from this until the
primary election in September.
The First district is now, and for
the past four years has been, repre-
sented by Jesse D. Price, of Wicom-
leo County, who is anxious to sue
ceed himself and who, now that
Senator Crothers is in the field, may
be expected TO announce his own
candidacy within the very near
future.
Senator Crothers has long been
identified with what is generally re-
ferred to as the antivorganization
wing of his party. Nevertheless, he
asserts that he is not entering the
Congressional fight as the candidate
of any faction or for the purpose of
trying to smash the organization.

APPOINTMENT OF STATE GAME
WARDEN MADE.
State Divided Into Eight Districts
Deputies To Be Named.

| DepuCleS 10 BE Named.
The Conservation Commission has
appointed e. Lee LeCompte of Cam
bridge, Md, as State Game Warden
for term OF two years from June
lst next. This appointment was
made under the new Statewide
Game Law, which also provides for
the appointment by the State Game
Warden, with the approval of the
Commission, of deputy game ward
ems whose salaries and territory
shall be fixed by the Commission.
When this law was under discussion
in the Legislature, it was promised
that the number of paid deputies
would be kept down to a minimum,
so that there would be as large
balance as possible in the State
Game Protective Fund, for distri-
button among the Counties to be
used in the propagation and pro-
lection of game.
The State Game Warden recon-
mended the appointment of eight
paid deputy game wardens for the
following districts:
1st. Garrett, Allegany and Wash
ington.
End. Frederick, Carroll and
Howard.
3rd. Montgomery, Prince Georges
and Anne Arundel below Severn.
4th. Charles, ST. Mary's and Cal
vert.
5th. Baltimore City, Baltimore,
Hartford and Anne Arundel above
the Severn.
9Th. Cecil, Kent and Queen
Anne's.
7th. Talbot, Caroline and Dor
chester.
Sth. Wicomico, Worcester and
Somerset.
The Commission approved the
above recommendation of the State
Game Warden and fixed the salaries
of the deputy game wardens at SIS
per month.
An effort will now be made TO
obtain the best men available for
these positions, who are familiar
with game conditions and will de-
vote their time to the work. It is
recognized that it will be difficult to
find just the right sort of men for
this work. Selections will be made
for merit and qualification only, and
appointments will be made irrespec-
tive of political or personal consider
ations. The law does not go into
effect until June 1st, so that no ap-
pointments will be made before that
time, but in the meanwhile, the State
Game Warden will receive applica-
tions for appointment in the various
districts, so that there will be a
number of names from which to
make selections.
The Commission decided also upon
the forms of printed licenses SUBJ
mitted by the State Game Warden,
and the work will be rushed so as to
have an adequate supply of license
blanks in the hands of each County
Clerk before June 1st when the law
takes effect. After that date no one
can hunt anywhere in the State with
out taking out the proper hunting
license as follows:
County resident license, $500
Statewide resident license, $500
Nonresident license, $1,000.
