GAMER GROWS OWN TOMATOES
Experiment Being Tried Out at Green
wood With Much Interest.

One of the largest canning COM
panies in the United States which has
one of it's factories located in Green
wood, is trying out an experiment
which if successful will do away with
the dependence that Gamers must put
in farmers iii their locality and which
will make them Independent of high
prices, unions of farmers or erfusal
to plant crops. The plan is the grow
ing of their own crop of tomatoes on
their own farm and is being tried out
on a tract of land near Greenwood,
which the company has leased with
the privilege of buying. This year
285 acres of tomatoes have been
planted and in one field of $50 acres
the vines are now carrying from GO
to 70 green tomatoes, with every indl-
cation of a record crop. If the plan
is successful the company will leave
the buyers market and grow all the
tomatoes they need to operate their
factory.

EASTERN SHORE FERRY LINE.
One Started From Rock Hall Monday
to Boost Baltimore.

The Baltimore and Eastern Shore
Ferry Line began operations last
Monday. The new ferry will oper-
ate between Bay Shore and Rock
Hall, thus spanning the Chesapeake
at its narrowest point, being only
nine miles from shore to shore. Pas
sengers who board the ferry at Rock
Hall will be at Charles and Fayettc
streets, Baltimore, in one hour and
a quarter, enabling residents of the
Eastern Shore to do their purchasing
in Baltimore and return home the
same day. Two feTyboats of large
carrying capacity will operate on the
route making sixteen trips every day.
The boats will be the City of Balti-
more and the Eastern Shore and will
be able to carry on each trip twenty
eight trucks of the large army type,
500 passengers and fifteen motor
cycles.
For the convenience of passengers
and as an incentive for them to go
to Baltimore for purchases rather
than Philadelphia, notorious lines
have been established on the East
ern Shore to run both up and down
the Peninsula from Rock Hall. Reg
ular schedules have been established
and buses will meet every ferry an
irving from Baltimore. Large steel
and concrete piers have been built
at Bay Shore and Rock Hall for the
accommodation of the boats and pro-
vision has been made for the docking
of large tonnage on both sides of the
piers.
The officers of the new company
are: Charles C. Stieff, president
Samuel A. Tubman, vice-president
and general manager; T. Rowland
Thomas, vice president; Charles J.
Lehman, vice-president; Howard w
Wolf, vice-president; Clarence NJ
jackson, secretary; Michael Schloss
treasurer; Eugene Frederick, assist
ant secretary, and Harry B. Wolf
general counsel.

KENT TO NAME REPUBLICAN
NOMINEE FOR GOVERNOR
ROTATION SYSTEM DECJDED IN
BY THE STATE LEGISLATURE
Congressman Will Be Named From
Sussex, DIR. C. R. Layton Being a
Candidate to Succeed Himself

A "hands OFF, policy in county al
fairs has been adopted by the Re-
publican State Committee as the best
methods to build a concrete harmony
ticket. State Chairman Charles
Warner feels that it is only proper
that each county settle upon its
choice for the various Offices and
thus underwrite the certainty of
escaping friction usually attendant
upon an effort to have one section
dictate to the other as to nominees.
There seems to be a general
agreement among the party leaders
that nothing should be done to dis
tulb the rotation system Of distrib-
uting the plums. The operation Of
this program means that the guber-
material nomination will go to Kent
county. In the event of the ma
terialization of the present plan, it
will be the first time in twenty years
that the State Executive has come
from Kent.
The Congressional candidate will
come from Sussex county and while
there is some opposition within its
environs to the denomination of
Congressman Caleb R. Layton, those
on the inside are predicting that
when the State convention rolls
along that the eloquent doctor will
have a sufficient number of the del
egates to achieve the realization of
his ambition.
The Attorney-Generalship viii
90 to New Castle county, with
Wilmington as the beneficiary. SEN
timent thus far has crystalized on
no particular candidate, there being
at least four already in the field,
with the possibility of a fifth tossing
his chapeau into the arena within the
next few days.
Rural New Castle is slated to re-
peat on the State authorship, with
apparently no opposition to the in
cumbent David Thompson, of New
ark. There is some antagonism to
the alleged "hogging" campaign of
Newarkites because of the appearance
of candidate from that place for the
Levy Court.

shouts and the tumult that came from
Baptiste's old house. He turned into
the little street on which it stood and
saw it in front of him, with the higher
bulk of the mill beyond.
The shades of Baptiste's cabin were
drawn, and the lamplight from within
threw the shadows of the lumbermen
upon them in grotesque attitudes. Hill
airy could see through the open door
that the place was packed to suffoca-
ton. There was no room to dance ;
but there was to be no dance that
night.
A group of men, %chattering upon the
porch, ceased their conversation as Hill
airy assembled the three steps, and
nudged one another. One of them
broke into loud, drunken laughter. Hill
airy hardly heard them. He strobe into
the saloon and stood within the door

CHAPTER VIII.
The Challenge.

ayes, sir, it was Morris who pulled
off that little affair at Ste. Marie"
said Lafe, a few days later. "That's
why ne went to see the revenue people
when he was in Quebec. And it's he
who spread the report that you were
ut the back of it,"
"And, like a fool, I played into his
hands by being at Simeon's just when
the raid came Off" said Hilary.
81 guess that's the size of it, Mr..
Askew. You know how people are.
There amt no surer way of queering
a man anywhere, specially if he's a
stranger, than to suspect him of set
ting the revenue people on to the blind
tigers 1t Queers him even with folks
that don't touch liquor. It's human
nature somehow. By the way" he
added, "you heard that Simeon's back"
Hilary nodded. "And running wide
open again."
"Well, I guess that hundred dollars
fine didn't hurt him much. But he's
mighty sore on you, Mr.. Askew. I'd
watch for mischief from that quarter"
Hilary agreed. He did not know,
however, that LATE had learned from
'Tremblay, the Iandlord-in some in
comprehensive manner, since he had
not acquired an additional word of
French during the time which had
elapsed since Hilary's arrival-that
Simeon not only meant mischief but
was believed to be planning it,
However, the schooner had already
made one trip to Quebec, well loaded.
Hilary had been In negotiation with
the paper mills, and he hoped to i'm
prove his chances materially if the
winter was not an early one, and if

The Tran.

The first man whom he saw was
Louis Duval, uncorking a bottle of
gin. Their eyes met across the heads
Of the lumbermen before Hilary's pres
ence was known.
He stood still for a moment, taking
in the scene. He was family conscious
that the door at the far end Of the
room had closed, but this perception
made no impression on him. He felt,
alone though he was, that he was alb.
solute master of the situation.
He strobe up to Louis, pushing the
lumbermen who were in his way aside,
seized the bottle from his hand, and

dashed it to the floor. His movement
and the ensuing action were so swift
that it was only after their compile
ton that all the company awakened to
his presence.
He turned toward the plank table
which had been nailed across a recess
for a bar counter. On this were a
number of bottles, all of brandy or gin
illicitly distilled and struggled up the
river. On the floor were two hogs
heads. A quantity of glasses newly
bought, and still containing fragments
of the straw in which they had been
packed, stood on a packing case near
by.
Hilary swept his arm along the
plank, knocking off the bottles, which
crashed to the floor, strewing it with
broken glass. A score of streams be-
gan to filter between the edges of the
boards, uniting in the depressions. The
stencil Of the spirits rose into the air.
He kicked the hogsheads over, and
they added their contents to the pool.
With another sweep he struck down
the glasses. Then the lumbermen
rushed at him, cursing, Infatuated. The
foremost hesitated as they came with
in reach of his arm, however, remem-
bering Pierre's discontinue. The mo-
mentary delay was fatal to them. Hill
airy struck out with all his force, fell
ing them, or sending them staggering
backward against those behind, and
clearing a passage in a twinkling to-
ward Louis, with whom alone he had
business at that moment.
Louis was a coward, unlike his
brother and Pierre, perhaps pardon
ably, on account of his physical weak
ness. AS Hilary grasped him by the
shoulders the liquor seller, who made
up in adroitness for what he lacked in
strength, twisted like an eel, dived
under the arms of those about him,
and rushed toward the real entrance,
shouting something as he ran.
What it was Hilary did not know.
He perceived dimly that the mob fell
back, except for a few who, unable to
restrain themselves, surged about him
like a pack of wolves, snarling, and
trying to thrust at him with the knives
which they had drawn from Their
leather belt sheaths. Hilary. fightina

Mexican Petroleum Puzzles

The action Of Mexican Petroleum
Yesterday indicated that the bulls are
clinging tenacously to their position
despite the efforts of the bears to
effect reaction. After selling in the
morning to 1868 the stock broke in
the afternoon to 1911, but in the last
few minutes of trading rallied to

manipulated by speculative pools be-
cause of its limited floating supply

the sale of notes. More working CAPT

the companys large inventories. The

Steel Prices
Although none of the important in
dependent steel companies are pre-
pared to admit that cut in their
prices is not far distant, reports per-
sist that current quotations are not
attracting buyers who believe that con-
cessions will soon be made. Indica-
tions Of a downward trend. observers
say, are supplied by the fact that it is
much easier TO get quick deliveries
than earlier in the year, while COM
panies able during the height of the
demand from auto makers to command
fancy premiums for their products,
are now quoting fiat prices. No i'm
mediate drop in the prices of the Steel
Corporation is anticipated, however, as
the company has steadily adhered to
the quotations fixed by the War In
