known mail order firm, Sears, Roe
buck C Co., of Chicago, ILL.,, to put
the mill in operation again. 1t is

TO DEEPEN CANAL.
Government Preparing For Work On
Chesapeake g. Delaware Canal.

Announcement is made by the
United States District Engineers
Office that the channel Of the recon-
structed Chesapeake G Delaware
Canal will be 20 feet deep. Plans
and specifications for the work hav.
been completed and will be submit
ted for bids shortly. The canal is
now only 10 feet deep.
The specifications provide for the
removal of 100000 cubic yards Of
material between st. Georges and
railroad bridge. About 100000
will be available for this work. 1t
is estimated this dredging contract
will be completed late in 1920 or
the early part of 1921. The dredg-
ing involved means deepening the
present canal 20 feet or really bring
ing it down to the depth of the level
between Delaware City and st.
Georges.
Large quantities of timber have
been arriving at the canal from
South Carolina. This timber will
be used in strengthening the revet-
ment bank, as the other bank will
eventually go down when greater
width is attained.
At Chesapeake City, govern
ment machine shop is to be establish
ed for the use Of workmen employed
along the canal. This shop is to be
a modern one and will be completed
early in January.
The survey of the proposed new
mouth at the Delaware river en-
trance will be completed in very
short time.

FEED THE BIRDS.

At this time of the year it is neces-
sary to call the attention of the pub
lie to the necessity of Feeding the
Birds. A State may do great deal
in the way of restocking depleted
covers, but more can be gained by
saving what we have than by pur.
chasing at great expense large quaint
tiles of birds. It is only necessary
for Farmers and Sportsmen and Bird
lovers to divert a little time and q
small amount of grain to save many
birds throughout the State Of Mary
land and have large numbers of quail
and other valuable birds. A shelter
provided for them to protect them
from the snow or place scrapped
bare in the snow and feed scattered
thereon will accomplish q great
amount of good and the Conserva
ton Commission of Maryland urgent
ly requests all those who are inter-
ested to do what they can, IL there is
any cold weather or snow during
the coming months, to save the birds.
The following little verse has been
issued by Miss Gertrude Knevels,
Secretary Of the Forest Hills Gardens
Audubon Society, as Christmas
card. 1t is passed on in this manner
SO that you will help us to Feed the
Birds:
How big your nest is, neighbor Man,
How bountiful your fare,
While small birds in the wind an0
snow
Are starving everywhere.
Some scattered crumbs, little seed.
A drop Of water, too,
And we will sing our gratitude,
Big Brother man, to you.
Our birds are valuable--will you
help them thereby benefiting your
selves?
TALBOT DENMEAD,
Chief Deputy Warden.

JOHN M. sTERRETT.

On December 1st, 1919, there
passed from earth a noble spirit
Though he had been very i'll for
more than a week, he was happy in
the thought that he was much i'm
proved and in a few days would be
able to take up his work again,
when suddenly, without moments
warning, "the silver cord was loosed
and the golden bowl was broken.
and the spirit took its fight. Every
one feels that this community. which
has known him for more than thirty
years, has suffered a severe loss.
Every one had confidence in his
judgment, and his advice was often
sought. Strong and fearless in
character, yet always just, he was
able to maintain his friendships.
For over thirteen years he was
one of the Commissioners Of Rising
Sun. During all this time, though a
busy man, he missed very few OF
their regular monthly and special
meetings. The towns interests were
always on his mind and heart.
We who were closely and intimate
ly associated with him bear testi
mony to his sterling worth. While
we keenly feel the loss of his counsel
and companionship. we are not un-
aware of the deep grief of his family.
His loyalty to and his affection for
his family and relatives proved the
quality of the man. To them we
offer sincere sympathy. and assure
them that we truly share theiI
sorrow.

3 HELD IN GLASS
PLOT, POLICE SAY
Charged With Theft and Sale
of $4,000 Value.

Three men are under arrest today
charged with the theft and sale OF wind
shield glass valued at $1,000, from the
warehouse of the zenite Metal Company,
North West street
John p. Julian, 935 North Dearborn
street; Floyd Fl. Long, Southport, and
Grover Martz, Greenfield, Ind, are held.
The police say the men confessed to
them that Julian and Long concocted
scheme by which they expected to steal
the glass and cover their trail by al
tering the records.
Julian, It is said, went to Greenfield
and told Martz he had an option on some
glass but did not wish to ship 1t under
his own name.
Martz said he thought the deal was
straight.
Several days later Julian, Martz said,
gave him a bill Of lading for a box Of
glass shipped to H. Neuer & Co., Cincin-
natl.
The bill was mailed to Cincinnati and
Martz received a check for 5000, 1t is
said, and of this amount, Martz says, he
did not keep one cent, but that Julian
kept $500 and gave Long the remainder.
Later two more boxes of glass were
shipped to the same company and, when
the check failed to reach Martz, he wrote
to the Neuer company, but received no
reply.
The Neuer company had notified the
| Zenite company that the glass was be-
! ing shipped by Martz.
