NO REPAIR ON
OLD HOTEL FRONT

Acting on the advice OF City Solicitor
Huxley this morning, Building lnspec-
tor Ellis r. Preston granted a permit
TO the contractor, Christopher Campbell
to make alterations TO the old Hotel
Wilmington, but specified that no al
terations are TO be made TO the front
walls with the exception of making
some changes in the windows.
The matter was first brought up at
meeting of the committee OF the
whole, following the regular session OF
City Council last Thursday night and
was referred TO the City Solicitor. Ap-
plication had been made TO Mr.. Preston
for a permit which called for the al
teratlon OF the front OF the building,
but owing to a'slight bulge in the walls
Mr. Preston refused TO take the respon-
sibllty for the change, referring the
to City Council.
The contractor explained TO Council
that he wished to make certain altera-
tions TO the front of the building and
that the owners were willing to give
the city a bond sufficiently large to
cover any loss to the city In case the
wall should fall by reason Of the sug-
gested change. While members OF
Council were willing to assist the con-
tractor In any way possible, II the
safety OF the public was assured, they
did not care TO take such a responsi-
billty, and passed II along to the City
Solicitor, who advised that no such
contract be entered into by the city.

regarded as settling beyond question
the advancement OF time one hour In

given is that upon which the ordinance
passed by City Council becomes efrec-

In letter TO Homer C. Simmons,

your resolution and believe 1t should

At the meeting OF Council In COM
mlttee OF the whole last night, the
members informally reported that In
quiries In their. respective wards show
ed the daylight saving plan TO be al
most universally favored. The date
selected, April 25, was chosen by Coun-

that many municipalities favored set
ting the clock back late In April In
stead Of late In March as was provid-
ed under the act of Congress since re-
pealed. He further found that most
favored shortening the
daylight saving period by one month,
and the date OF September 26. was
finally chosen TO SET the clocks back
to standard time In this city.
BY thus shortening the period from
seven to flve months, IL was thought
a maximum benefit would be obtained
with a minimum Of objection.
Mayor Moore, Of Philadelphia, has
issued proclamation calling for WI

CALCIUM ARsENATE TREATMENT

An idea of the benefit gained by
application of the calcium arsenate
treatment developed and recommend
ed by the United States Department
of Agriculture against the cotton-boll
wesyil is found in the experience OF
a large planter at Tallulah, La. With
the exception of certain test plats, this
mans entire acreage was busted with
calcium arsenate, the cost being 1920
an acre. He obtained an avsra. yield
of 1926 pounds of seed cotton to the
acre on the land surrounding the test
plats, while these imprisoned test
plats averaged only 400 pounds, or
about 25 per cent Of the yield on the
poisoned cotton. Thus his net profit
from poisoning on these areas on

cotton was about s12O an acre

Keeping the Boy on the Farm

One Of the farmers most difficult
problems has been the keeping of the
ooy on the farm. IL seems 10 be hu-
man nature that as soon as a boy ars
rives at the young manhood period.
tne city appeals very strongly 10 him.
All the while he is attending the coun-
try school he hears all sorts of stories
about the good times folks are having
in the city. During the summer va.
cation period, his city cousin comes out
to spend few days on the farm and
tells him about the amusemsnts 90
ing on back home and the conveniences
he has in the city Of which the farm
lad is deprived. All these rumors
tend TO excite the curiosity OF the coun
try lad and by the time he reaches
ABOUT twenty years of age he has de-
clded to desert the farm, go the city,
enjoy life and above all make lots of
money in a short time.
UP TO this time he has spent all his
lie on the farm. He has learned the
cultivation Of soil, the rotation of crops
and the million and one other things
necessary TO the successful ':eratiGn
OF the farm. His value to the farmer
can not be estimated and oftentimes
should the lad depart for the CITY, il
is necessary for the farmer TO try and
replace him by some fellow who is in
experienced, which results in a loss of
uIne, production and money. Quite
often such action is a detrment to the
young man as we'll as to the farmer
FOR when he gets to the CITY he finds
that things are not just as he had

NOW the thing which has in most
cases taken the farm boy to the civ

Want the Canal Used Again.

Acting in accordance with the in
strucuons Of the mayor and city coun.
Gil OF CumbeTla land, William -. Walsh
city attorney, has made application TO
the Public Service Commits sion OF
Maryland TO take steps LOOKING to the
reopening OF the Chesapeake & Ohio
Canal Tor general freight business.
For number OF year past the traffic
on the canal has been confined ex-
clusiyely to the hauling OF coal from
Cumberland TO Georgetown and a few
other points, including Williamsport
and Sh- pnerdstown. The attorney
wrote the commission as follows:
Il am directed by the mayor ar,
city council OF Cumberland to take
up Inc matter Of reopening the Chesa-
peake and Ohio Canal for the purpose
OF transporting freight upon sale
canal and also ask you to fix a schedule
OF rates. Ii has been called to the at
condition of the railroads OF the coun-
try has rendered it imperative that as
much use as possible be made of other
means of transportation. AS a cana
is one OF the cheapest means at the
disposal of the public, we think some
use should be made of the Chesapeake
and Ohio and that whatever benefits
are TO be derived from such use should
be extended TO the public generally"
In days gone by there was big
traffic in general business on the canal.
Coal from Cumberland, grain and hay
and farm produce from the country all
along the line and merchandise of va
rious sorts were carried by boat TO
Washington and Georgetown, and re-
turn cargoes were brought from the
city. We have seen boat-loads of lum-
Der, anthracite coal. and large ouanl
titles of groceries, fish, watermelons
and others commodities brought FROM
Georgetown to Shepherdstown, and
there was a lively and profitable bust
ness along the old waterway Since
the b. & o. Railroad has had control of
the canal all business has been cut
out except coal from the Cumberland
region.
The fact that the railroads have
fallen down completely and are NOV
ing little freight seems to make il
imperative that the old canal shall once
more be used as a means of transporta-
ton. But politics and railroad in
Huence will probably prevent relief
from this source.
