Bureau Of Engraving and

10000 Pounds.

Sugar at 1sA cents per pound Is
the latest quotation at the Coop
eratfSe lunchroom of the Bureau Of
Engraving and Printing and the
neatly wrapped hve-pound sacks,
one of each to which each employs
Is limited, are selling as fast as the
proverbial hot-cakes. Thirty thou
sand pounds of sugar was placed
on sale Saturday and 1t Is expected
the $500 employees of the bureau
last day of the sale.
To the surprised query, How did
the lunchroom secure this large
store of sugar." James H. Kelley,
one of the co-managers, said last
night the $4,000 pounds had been
bought from several dealers and
was the supply that would eventu-
atty have been used by the lunch-
room. At a recent meeting Of the
lunchroom committee, however, 1t
was decided to offer the employees
the sugar as q remedial measure
for the present shortage rather
than hold the sugar until needed.

prospered since first undertaken

washington Herald-Just a
short time ego there was a girl
who grew tired of the big city,
with its monotonous work, tires
some pleasures. foolish men and
silly girls. who thought only Of
clothes. dancing and men. This
girl longed for the big open
spaces of Gods country. Dis
appointed in lcve? Oh, no, she
had not even met love half way.
After giving her services to Un-
Gle Sam for one year, she left
the States for Canada, making
her home in a little town near
Quebec. with a kind old couple.
Day after day she would wan
der over the hills and down
into deep valleys that the hand
of God had carved. where
brlghtcolored flowers grew, and
where the water fell from huge
rocks,
But with all the beauties of
old Mother Earth. there was
something missing. something
that made her heart cry. "oh.
what loneliness" II she had
only someone to share these
beauties with her, wander over
the hills and watch the sunset:
row On the lake as the last
shades of evening were stealing
on--someone who " ould call her
little girl"
One day a strange thing hap
pened. The girl who hated big
cities and foolish men wander
ed down to the falls and stood
looking at the torrents Of
water that fell to earth. There
she told the falls her secret. As
she poured out the story of her
lonely heart. she knew no one
heard. no one but the rocks and
hills. who had heard the story
so many times.
But someone did hear, Rob-
ert, an engineer making an in
srection tour through Canada,
had been watching the girl each
day, listening to her tale of
loneliness, learning to love her.
And so, taking 'Marcene" in his
arms, he made his confession.
how he longed to wander on
the hills. row on the lake with
her. watch the sunset and the
last shades of evening fall, and
most OF all, to WHISPER the
sweetest words in all this
world, "Marcene, little girl,
love you" M d.

HER LIFE FOR HER PUPPIES
AiredaIe Never Hesltated When Called
Upon to Make the Supreme
Sacrifice to Duty.

Again a mother has given her life
for her young.
This time the setting is the San
Francisco waterfront, down where
whistles scream, hoists squeal and
rattle, engines chug and there is a me-
chanical ensemble Of Industrial noise
the long day through. The principals
are dOgs-a wiry-haired Airedale
mother and her four puppies.
A scow was home to the canine fam
lily. One day a swell overturned the
basket in which the pups lay, and ov-
erbOard they went. There was no
human aid near. But the mother
Ieaped to the rescue of her drowning
offspring. One by one she brought the
little pups to safety. But before she
could reach the last one it drowned.
Men found her on deck, still holding
the body Of the dead puppy, and with
the three others scramblIng and whin-
ing around her. The mother was too
exhausted to move. They sent for a
physician, but when he arrived the
rescued pups were orphans.
TO the burden of her own six pups,
an Irish setter who lives aboard the
same scow, has added the care OF
three foster Children, the orphans of
the Airedale mother.

PLAN BOAT LINE FOR LEWES
Would Run Between That Town and
Wilmington on Regular Schedule

Lewes shipping men with financial
interests in Wilmington are said TO be
considering the advisability of open
ing up a boat line between Whining
ton and Lewes. Whether this will
embrace both freight and passenger
service or just one, are matters of
detail that have not been reached.
Residents of lower Delaware along
the river are said to be deeply inter-
ested in the project. They have in
vestigated the scheme and fail to find
any unsurmountable difficulties to its
elimination.
The plans as discussed embrace a
combination freight and passenger
service, and during the summer time,
perhaps an additional boat to carry
produce from the fertile farming
lands of Kent and Sussex counties.
There would be certain regular
stops along the river and in the minds
OF the promoters, there are visions of
making the trip very attractive one.
Lewes merchants and boarding
house keepers and those in other
towns along the down-river route see
in the baot line an opportunity to in
crease their business through river
tourists and excursionists.

Causes of thunderstorm.

Two kinds of thunderstorms are
generally recognized-one due to heat
and usually local, and the other ac-
companying the squalls forming in
the southern sectors Of low pressure
areas. A third type, "storms of cold"
has been lately added by a French me-
teorologist. 1t occurs as cold air trav:
els southward into a region of high
temperature and southerly upper
winds. The clouds forming the south
ern limit Of the cold wave develop
thunderstorms, which are carried
northward by the upper south wind,
this travelling backward through the
zone of cold air.

OIL ON FARM At BLACNBIRO
EXCITES LOCAL INTEREST
J. E. BAKER, OWNER OF FARM
HAVING INVESTIGATION MADE
Oily Substance Has Been Ozing Out
of Ground For Some Time and
May be Valuable

While John Baker, farmer near
Cypress Bridge, was digging his well
deeper at his home Wednesday, on
account of the bad condition of The
drinking water, he was greatly sur
prised to find an oily substance flow
ing through the earth. He noticed i
ong smell of gas and was forced
to abandon his work in the we'll owing
T.. the fumes. Upon throwing Out
some of the water later in the day
and letting it settle in bucket for
some time he found that the colored
water separated from the oily liquid,
which closely resembled heavy ma
chine oil. Mr.. Baker then applied p
lighted match to the contents and was
greatly surprised to find that it was
enveloped in flames.
This farm which was purchased re-
Gently by Mr.. Baker from w. Harmon
Reynolds, of Townsend, was always
noticed as having spots on the hillside
where vegetation seldom grew on ac-
count of some substance in the
ground, the character of which was
never discovered. Many of Mr.. Ba-
ker's neighbors now believe that the
cause of things not growing in spots
was caused by veins of the oily sub
stance saturating The ground.
Mr.. Baker intends to have some of
the oily substance analyzed by first
class chemist 70 discover if the oil
that is evidently present has any
commercial value. There is consider
able agitation among the landowners
and tenants of land in the vicinity. In
several cases water on adjoining
farms has the same unpleasant flavor
as the water in the Baker we'll.

sEEDLESS FRUIT ON THIS TREE
Frank p. Rogers, of Near Georgetown
Grows Apples Without Seeds

Frank P. Rogers, a farmer of upper
Dagsboro district, residing at Piney
Grove, four miles from Georgetown,
has an apple tree that bears seedless
fruit, which probably is the only ap-
pie tree of its kind in Delaware. The
tree is six years old and is full of
buds. The owner expects to pick
from it about six baskets of fruit this
fall if storms do not beat the fruit
from the trees. This remarkable tree
bears red fruit of uniform size and
is not unlike other varieties, save the
blossoms are different. They do not
unfold as other varieties.
The interior of the fruit is some
what like the orange having a stringy
nature. There is no core and the
fruit is devoid of seed and seed cells
The tree is priced highly by its owner
and an effort will be made to graft
some of the twigs into other trees TO
ascertain if he cannot get seedIess
fruit from some of the choice varie-
ties. The variety was originated by
Spencer, of Colorado, and sold to Mr..
Rogers six years ago.
Barkley McAllister, fruit grower re-
siding between Georgetown and Lau-
rel, has a few trees of seedless ap-
pies, which have borne several bas-
kets, but the variety bears fruit with
green skin smaller in size than the
tree of Mr.. Rogers and not entirely
devoid of core. In fact, the variety
Cf Mr.. McAllister's seems to be going
hack to the seeded state.
Mr.. Rogers is making experiments
with his seedless tree and within the
next few years expects to be growing
seedless fruit on some of the most
widely known varieties.

Preserving American Scenery.

While the members of the Associ-
ated Mountaineering Clubs of North
America are not all devoted to noun
taineering, they have a common bond
of interest in the preservation of
American scenery and in the protec-
ton Of plant and bird life in their
natural environment. The association
is cooperating with the national park
service for the creation and develop
ment of national parks and 'monu-
ments." A fine collection of litera-
ture on mountaineering has been form
ed by the association at the New
York public library and bibliographies
are being compiled and published.
When this organization was founded
in 1916, it embraced nine clubs and
societies. Now there were 20 and the
aggregate membership is over $4,000.
