Uses Quick Methods to Catch Man

An effort to blackmail Sol Sapp, a
Harrington merchant out of $500 re-
suited in the discovery of the black
mailer and his sudden departure from
town upon discovery by Mr.. Sapp, who
SO far has kept his identity a secret.
Some time ago Mr.. Sapp received a
letter asking him to leave $500 in
money under the step of the local op-
era house. Sapp paid no attention to
the letter until he received a telephone
call from the person, who alleged he
had written the letter, informing him
hat unless he obeyed the mandates of
OF the letter some of his family would
suffer or some of his property would
be burned. Sapp called the operator
as soon as the telephone rang off and
finding it came from the railroad sta
tion hurried there in time to catch a
young man in the booth. After accus-
ing him of the attempt to extort the
money, so it is alleged, the man con-
fessed and Sapp allowed him to leave
town on condition that he would not
return.

Kitchen of Tenant House Occupied by
}. Wesley Smith, Badly Burned
An early morning fire alarm stirred
Smyrna and Clayton Monday morning
at $50 o'clock when the ringing of
bells and blowing of whistles, called
both the Clayton and Smyrna fire COM
panies to the farm of j. Luther Lam
ham, near Clayton. The fire was dis.
covered in the tenant house occupied
by j. Wesley Smith, caused by q ue.
fective flue in the kitchen chimney.
The fire engines arrived about the
same time and both chemical pumps
were brought into action. The streams
of chemical played on the flames soon
eXtinguished them or nothing could
have saved the house from total des-
truction. The tenant house was but a
short distance from the residence and
outbuildings of ]. Luther Lapham and
had they caught fire it would have
been a fearful confagration. Mr..
Smith got quantity of his household
goods out and what damage was done
was comparatively slight.

USE CORN AS FUEL ECONOMY
western Plan Endorsed by Secretary
Wallace as Profitable to Farmers

Following the report that farmers
IN the middle West had already begun
to burn corn for fuel, U. S. Secretary
OF Agriculture Wallace predicted far
mers would find it profitable to burn
corn instead of coal this, winter. Gar
corn at twenty cents a busheI." the
Secretary of Agriculture, said. "is
equal in fuel value to a fair grade of
western soft coal at approximately $40
ton. In districts where corn is very
cheap, the coal usually is of a Door
grade and is selling at high prices.
Under such conditions, it will paw both
farmers and people living in country
districts to use corn instead of coal !"
Corn at ten cents "a bushel, it was
computed, would equal in heating val
ue coal at SIS ton, and corn at thirty
two cents bushel would equal coal at
Sl6 ton, the Secretary computed.
The drier the corn," the Secretary
added, "the higher its fuel value. It
can be burned either on the ear or
shelled, but better on the ear. In Ar
gentlna both corn and small grain are
sometimes burned as fuel, not only on
farms but in power plants"

High School bootball team made the
journey to Chestertown on Friday and
suffered another defeat, the score be-
ing 28 to 6. The Chestertown boys
while about the same weight and size
OF Smyrna, showed superior team
work. There is no reason why the
Smyrna boys should not play as well
or better. Turner's arm was thrown
out OF joint in the second play and he
was out OF the game from then on.
Inns OF course was great loss to
Smyrna, and had this most unfortu-
nate accident not happened so early,
the score would have been closer at
least. 1t was thrilling game to
watch all the way through.
