CROPS GOOD
Corn Flowing and Planting
A Super Hay Crop
Wet Yet

Dessite rain almost every day
in some parts of the county,
much corn was planted this week
and last and that which was up
had a first cultivation. The ac-
reage will be larger than suppos-
ed a week ago if ground which
has not yet been plowed is dry
enough IN time to plant by June
20.
Wheat and oats never looked
better tho both are somewhat
rank and a heavy wind would
flatteh the fields likely beyond
recovery in time to cut. Both
crops are heading out and cutt-
ing will be on in two weeks at
furtherest.
No living man ever saw a
greater crop of alfalfa, clover
and timothy. If hay prices are
at all fair, the crop in this coun-
ty will provide for all if no other
crop amounts to anything.
Gardens are not much but the
berry prospects are fine and sug'
ar advancing. A shame not tt
be able to preserve a lot of the
fine crop of strawberries now in
the market and to come, but thu
same may apply to peaches etc
and for sweet stuff. it is hopeC
sorghum will be plentiful ant
cheap.

POWER PLANT P|NCHED
FOR SUPPLY OF COAL
L. E. Sinclair Testiffes in Applica-
tion for Surcharge on Large
Users of Current.

The difficulty of getting shipments
of coal into Washington has been so
great recently that the Potomac Elec-
trio Power Company for time feared
it would not be able to get sufficient
fuel to operate the Benning power
plant. according to L. E. Sinclair, gen.
eral superintendent.
Mr.. Sinclair brought out this fact
in testifying before the Public Utili-
ties Commission today on the appli-
cation of the company for permission
to add surcharge to the bills of
eighty-six wholesale users OF cur
rent.
According to the testimony the sur
charge asked for would partly cover
the increased cost of fuel and would
go down when the price Of coal goes
down. The surcharge would apply
only to concerns which take current
under schedule E" Of the company's
rates.
The eighty-six customers who use
schedule E" consume 4S per cent Of
all the current sold and pay 10 per
cent of the company's revenue.
Mr.. Sinclair said that at one time re-
Gently it became necessary for the
power company to go into the open
market and buy more than nifty car
loads of coal to keep the Benning
plant operating.
Just before the hearing recessed for
lunch Chairman Kutz of the commits
sion was questioning another official
of the company about detailed costs
of manufacturing and delivering cur
rent to the large consumers under
schedule e.
William F. Ham, president Of the
company, also testified during the
morning about the coal situation.

SHIFTING SQUAD SEEKS
POLICE STATION WHISKY
Missing Dozen Bottles Stir Sleuths
to 1naugurate Relentless
Pursuit

The official shifting squad" of the
sixth precinct station is today hot on
the trail Of the dozen bottles of whis-
ky which disappeared from the sta
tion house.
Whether a gentleman Raffles or a
Houdini has pilfered the wet goods
from the jealous guardianship of the
police is not known, but the shifting
squad" members aver they are going
to find out.
Once a member of the squad gets a
whin of the wherea bouts Of the stol-
en- whisky it will not be long before
both liquor and thief will be safely
lodged in a cell. it was said, The
sleuths pride themselves on the acute-
ness of their olfactory nerves, and
declare they will soon clear up the
mystery.
Six of the bottles disappeared when
suit for their possession was insti-
tuted in Municipal Court and a deputy
marshal appeared at the police sta
tfon to serve the writ. Another half
dozen bottles are said to have vanish
ed from behind the rail in the station
house, where they were deposited by
q policeman. Several other bottles are
reported on the missing list"
Chief Clerk Hesse said all the liquor
turned over to him had been account
ed for. The whisky is kept under lock
and key, he said.
whisky seems to be looked upon
as common property" a police official
said today. There are many persons
who have no scruples against taking
liquor who would not take a single
penny belonging to another person"

NEGROES DEMAND RIGHTS
UNDER CONSTITUTION
Baptist Speaker Says 14th and 18th

IT the federal government can en-
force the eighteenth or prohibition

This Is our time to insist upon ac-
tion rather than mere words" Mr.

the franchise must use 1t effectively
in the coming election"
The speaker also advocated the
