A. Haiijaman sold his farm near

Confidence Men Swindle
Brown County Man

Aberdeen-The authorities are
withholding the name of a South Da-
kotan who lives in or near the town
Of Waubay and who, fell victim to
confidence men to the tune of $4,000.
One version of the skillful robbery
is that the ~swindling was accomplish
ed through the medium of a mythical
land deal, while another is that the
Sc, 900 changed hands in a poker
game. In either even Sheriff Elliott
of this county has offered a reward OF
$500 for each of two men, n OF
whom is named Erling Harras, alias
Frank Hanson, who Is described as rs
years OF age, about six feet tall,
weight 100 pounds, light complexion,
brown hair, walks slowly and has a
habit of picking his teeth continually.
The other wanted man is known as
Gordon, first name not given, 0
~thirty-five years old, weights 140,
height 5 feet A inches, thin face, light
complexion; poses as an agent for an
eastern firm and appears to be con-
SANITY busy. When last seen wore a
straw hat; usually carries a grip.
How Robbery Occurred
The version of the swindle which
features a land deal is to the effect
that the victim came to Aberdeen to
buy OF Harras, or Hanson, q quarter
section of land, for whidh he was to
pay $4,000. In the correspondence
which led up to the meeting here, h
victim was told to bring the money in
cash and not In checks or drafts.
That when he arrived here he met
Harras and together they retired to a
hotel room to discuss the transaction.
That after the details had been fur
ther arranged and the $4,000 had been
counted out and turned over to Har-
ras, he remarked 10 his victim that
they would step over to a bank and
get the deed, which had been placed
i'm escrow there and that while they
we're gone, which would be but for q
few moments the money would be
placed under the pillow on the bed
and left there That 1t would be per-
fectly safe. 1t being Harras' money
to all intents and, purposes. 1t seemed
that Harras assumed all the risk and
that plan was followed. The two men
left the room, and went into the street,
where after a few moments Harras
excused himself upon some trivial mat
ter and left his victim. The victim
waited for some time, became alarm
ed, returned to the hotel, obtained the
key to the room where he had met
Harras and going to that room found
the expanse of white sheet under the
pillow where he had seen the money
placed, unbroken by a roll Of $4,000 or
any portion thereof.

GTON, DELL NESSD DIRECTORY
Baldwins Use Remington Plant

Contingent upon the release by the
government of the two buildings own
ed by the Baldwin Locomotive Works
at Eddystone, Pa, used during the war
for rife and shell manufacture, the
management is contemplating the re-
m0val Of certain sections of the Phila-
delphia plant to Eddystone, according
to reports IN trade circles.
The plan being considered is for the
removal OF the. cylinder and boiler
shops. It is believed this would in
crease earnings by lowering the costs.
The improvements if put into effect
will involve the expenditure of much
money for new machinery. The pro
sram contenpiates the utilization of
the two large buildings at Eddystone
which, although they are no longer
USED Ior munltion purposes are still
under lease to the government. The
lease, it is understood, has some
months 70 run although the govern
ment may terminate it before it ex-
pires.
One of these buildings was occupied
by the Eddystone rifle plant OF Mid
vale Steel & Ordnance Co., formerly
known as Remington Arms Co., while
the second building was used by the
Eddystone Munitions Co., controlled
by Baldwins.
The government cancelled large con-
tracts with both companies soon after
the signing of the armistice, and oper-
atoms have been subsequently ended.
Machinery used to manufacture rifles
is owned by the government, and 1t
nas since been Grated and shipped to
government arsenals throughout the
country. Both buildings are now idle
but have not yet been formally re-
leased by the War Department.
me plant constructed by BaldWins
and leased to Midvale for the manu-
fact1re Of rifles covers 34.5 acres and
the buildings were erected at a cost of
Wv. The plant used by Eddy
stone Munitions Co., covers about 65
/ .,r,s ana was erected at a cost of
81, 500, 900. The buildings although
erected 1or war purposes were de-
signed with a view to their future use
for the manufacture of locomotives.
In addition Baldwins last year COM
pleted a new erecting shop at the Ed
dystone plant at a cost OF S3,226,94U.
This made three lev shops erected
during the war period at a cost OF
S6,676,940, exclusive of the cost OF the
ground.
The buildings at Eddystone are
ADAPTED for machine work. Report has
it that one will be used as a cylinder
shop and the other as a boiler shop.
Under the present method castings are
made at the foundry at Eddystone and
transported here by trucks to be ma
chined at the Broad Street shops.
After the casting have been machined
they are hauled back to the Eddystone
plant to be assembled. By moving the
machine shops to Eddystone it will be
possible to finish the cylinders in less
time, at a reduced cost and so increase
output.

Strawberries A Bonanza

Onancock, Va, May 26.-Farmers
who have strawberries in any quantity
will meet their expenses for the year
by their sales, making whatever IS re
allied in the after-crops clear money.
At Onley Wednesday the Produce Elk
change paid out $4,000 for berries.
The sales since then have been even
larger. The cash receipts of several
farmers in this vicinity were from
$1,000 to $1,000 for at least four days
tinue throughout the coming week.
Prices varied this week from $3.50 to
$1,000.
Crops have never looked better on
the shore. The promise of a good
Irish potato crop is excellent, u the
acreage is not over half what it has
been for three years. The sweet po-
tato acreage is much larger. Cabbage
is bringing 81 a crate; peas, so a
basket.

E
PERPLExiNG PROBLEMS OF
THIS RECONSTRUCTION ERA.

Query.-The government has Launched
an educational campaign to encourage
building in order to put more men to
work. Would not a similar movement to
show how the old structures can be best
and most economically repaired and made
good as new also help?
Answer.-It is learned that such a
plan is in effect and IS linked directly
with the Washington propaganda.
Industry must be turned back from
works of war to the ways of peace.
Employment must be found, in the
meanwhile, for those whose occupa-
ton has been interrupted. There is no
real surplus of labor in the United
States. Rather there is a shortage,
which would be acute If normal condi-
ditions were already restored, and one
step towards restoring them will come
with resumption of repair work.
Government restrictions, imposed by
the necessities of the war program,
have for many months past retarded
or altogether prevented construction
improvement and repairs. These re-
strictions are now off, and there is
scarcely a town, a city, a factory, a
dwelling or a farm that does not reveal
a crying need for prompt attention
Nothing delays such instant action ex'
cept the feeling that prices are higf
for the time being and may be lower.
That Is not logical. No matter what
1t costs to repair, the cost Is less thar
the cost of neglect No matter what
the cost Of paint, the wind n the
weather will collect a higher bill IN
deterioration and decay.

OVER THE RIVER
Loading Plant Will Close June

Loading Plant viii Close June 5
The plant of the Bethlehem Loading
Co., below New Castle, will terminate
all government work on June 3, after
having been in operation for over
three years.
The plant is to shut down on or
ders from the United States Ordnance
Depot, under which the plant has been
operating since the entry Of the United
States into the war.
During the time the United States
was at war the plant had as many as
1900 employees, but since the signing
of the armistice there has been a grad
ual reduction in the working force.
What will be done with the plant after
the government gives it up cannot be
stated at this time. i,
The plant of the Bethlehem Steel
Co. at New Castle vas started in the
fall of 1915 for the manufacture of
high explosives. Until the entry Of
the United States in the world war
the plant was largely interested IN the
manufacture of shells and the refining
OF tri~nitroltoluol for the allied govern
ments and some little United States
government work.
An order for 100000 three-inch
shells for the Russian government was
never completed on account Of the
change in the government in Russia.
With the entry of the U. S. govern
ment into the war the government had
the Bethlehem Steel Co. select their
ordnance plants and the Bethlehem
Loading Co. was organized to act as
agents of the government.
Boosters and adapters used in big
shells were loaded here. The plant
also loaded 10 and 12-inch shells for
the United States government. For a
munition plant there have been very
few explosions. In 1917 Harry Jacob
son, one of the guards, vas killed.
The plant covers about so acres of
ground within an 8-foot fence, with
fine long wharf.

Sons of Delaware

The Sons of Delaware, a Phlladel-
phia organization of natives OF this
State, on Saturday evening were en-
tertained at Delaware College, about
200 being in the party. The visitors
arrived in Newark shortly after z
o'clock in the afternoon. They were
met at the Baltimore and Ohio station
by representatives of the college and
other citizens of Newark in autom-
biles. They first visited the college
farm, where the experimental plots
and live stock were inspected. A stop
was then made at the Women's Col
lege, where they were welcomed by
Dean Winifred J.. Robinson and mem
bers of the faculty. A number of the
visitors were taken on automobile

Query.-what DO you think Of paint as
an investment, aside from the appearance
1t lends? Does 1t really PAY to paint a
house regularly. say every three or four
'years7
Answer.-Good paint properly ap-
piled when needed is the main thing in
making a house last long and WELL A
house worth $500 can be painted at a
cost of about 1925. In 60 years h a
house will need about 10 paintings,
the total cost of which will be $3.50.
Left without paint, such a house would
fall into complete ruin in 80 years. So
taking 60 years as a basis for our fig
ures we find that with paint a home
will last that time in good condition
and will cost, plus paint, S4,375. With
out paint the house would have to be
rebuilt at the end of 80 years and
would be ready for another complete
renovation when the sixtieth year ar
rived. Cost, without paint, $4,000 for
a home ready to fall to pieces. Does
regular painting pay? As the ole
Dutch adage says:
