FUGITIVE NEGRO FOUND
ON FARM NEAR HARTLEY
ISAIAH FOUNTAIN, WHO ESCAP-
ED FROM EASTON, DISCOVERED

Arrested by Civilians Turned Over to
Maryland Authorities and Taken Back
to Talbot County Feeling High
Isaiah Fountain, colOred, who es-
capped from the Talbot county jail, at
Easton, Md, of last week, where he
was held for assaulting 14-year-Old
Bertha Simpson, of Trappe, Nd, was
arrested last Wednesday on the farm
of a colored man named Ford, near
Hartly. Fountain arrived at the Ford
home and asked for work. Shortly
afterwards some of the people of
Hartly heard that strange negro
had been seen in the neighbOrhood
and a posse consisting of E. L. Monta-
que, William Montague, Fred Willing,
George B. Stotten and Lyman P. Scot
ten was organized. They went to the
Ford farm and after some questioning
were told that no strange negro was
in that vicinity. In the meantime
rived on the scene and Ford told them
the same story. One of the ScOttens
and William Montague were not salts
fled with the story told by Ford and
made a search of the barn. Fountain
was found hidden under some hay.
He was pulled out and turned over to
the Maryland authorities. They took
the prisoner back to Easton. The
feeling is very high. Richard DixsOn
(colored,, who was arrested on sus-
spicion of being concerned in Foun-
tain's escape, still is being held in jail
Dixson was out in an automobile vir-
tually all of Monday night. He turn
ed between 1 and 2 a. M, with bear
ings burned out of his machine, which
had been driven so hard that the en-
CINE was still hot at 6 a. m. Dixson
said that he had taken two women to
Centelville and will make no other eX-
PLANTATION of why his machine was
driven so hard during the hours that
Fountain was making his escape,
The jury before which Fountain was
being tried is still being kept to-
gether. The men were taken out fOl
a short walk through side streets, the
bailiffs being particularly careful not
to take them within hearing distance
of any of the groups in the vicinity Of
the courthouse.

REPAIRS TO CLUB HOUSE.
New-Century Building in MiddletOwn
to be Made Safe.

Work of making the home of the
Middletown New-Century Club, safe
for public gatherings is progressing
we'll under the management of Will
liam N. Pippin of ChestertOwn, con-
tractor. The building was found to
be in a dangerous condition, liable to
collapse at any time. When the work
was begun by the contractor, the roof
was found to have slid more than one
foot from it's centre and the building
near the stage was found to have set
tied several inches. A heavy brick
wall in the rear of the building was
carried on a light wooden girder,
which had begun to decay, although
the building was erected only two
years ago. An iron girder is being
put in the place of the wooden one
and will be supported by iron columns.
The first floor, and supported by brick
piers two feet square in the basement
The entire weight of the stage was
found to have been supported by small
pieces of studding. AS many as one
hundred persons have been on the
stage. Often it is said to be surpris-
ing that it had not collapsed. When
the building is Strengthened it will be
perfectly safe.

Fishermen are also reaping a har-
vest from their efforts with seines and
fishing nets. Automobiles come from
Wilmington and Philadelphia and buy
the shad and other fish direct from the
seines and pay prices almost equal to
the retail price of fish in the city mar
kets. This results in the local fish
pedlars either meeting the price of
the foreign buyers or going out of
business, and the result is no fish for
the local home towns. The high cost
of living gets worse.-Milford Chron-

BEST OF CATTLE BEING SOUGHT

MiddletOwn COw-Testing Association
Has Been ReOrganized on Better Plan.
Middletown Cow Testing Associa-
ton has been reorganized upon a
strictly business basis.J. H. CrOmish
of the Pennsylvania State College, has
ben placed at the head of the testing
association. He comes highly recon-
mended.
The standards of the association
have ben raised fifty per cent. In the
former association each cow giving
thirty pounds of butterfat durin% the
month was published on the honor
roll. This year only the cows giving
more than forty-fve pounds of butter
fat will receive honorable mention.
Raising the standard of butterfat pro-
duction is about on par with the i'm
provements made in the herds in
Middletown through the interest man
ifested in the COW testing association
work carried on for three years.
Previous to the advent of the asso-
citation very little attention was paid
to the balance ration for the dairy
cow, and in each and every herd of
cattle there were a number of what
are termed "boarders," that is "cows
that could not pay for their feed with
the milk they produce" The results
of the monthly test showed the dairy
men which cows were profitable and
which were not. Gradually the un-
profitable COW was weeded out of the
herd, and one of profit installed in her
place.
The advantages of the silo as milk
producer was also revealed, as the
owners of si1os We're getting larger
flow of milk from smaller number of
cows. Through the association many
new silos have been built.
Twenty-si& of the most progressive
dairymen in Middletown comprise the
personel of the present association,
and one day in each month is spent
with each member by Mr.. Crommish.
The milk of each cow is weighed night
and morning, and then tested for its
butterfat strength. The monthly aver
age of the cow is estimated from the
days production. At the end of the
year the results are computed and
each cow is credited with what she
has done.
The work of the association fol
three years has raised the standard Of
the dairy COW, and has stimulated the
interest in the pure-bred strains oi
cattle. During the past eighteeI
months at least one hundred head o.
pure bred Holstein cows, calves ant
bulls have been brought into the com
munity from distance, and on almos
every farm there is the beginning o
pure-bred herd. There has ais,
been a great boost in the dairy fee,

weakened kidneys and digestive organs.
This being true, it is easy to believe
that by keeping the kidneys and di-
