IS ACRES OF OIL
LAND is BURNING
Reports From Mexican District
Where Fires Are Raging How

Mexico City, July Fl (By Asso-
ciated Press .-Reports concerning
the fire in the American oil field in
the state of Vera Cruz received up to
a late hour last night a. conflicting
and meagre. Although almost all Of
them agreed that the fire was of ac-
cidentai origin and that four wells
were burning in lot 1872, centering
about Amatlan which is 70 miles
southwest of Tampico. ..-
Two theories, both based on dis
patches from Tampico have been I'd
vanced as to the cause of the fire
The first was; that a heated boiler
near an incoming gusher ignited the
oil and the second that lightning
struck two wells simultaneously. 49,
Several dispatches received last
night asserted that the whole of lot
1872 comprising IS hectares or ap-
proximat IS acres had been
swept of its drilling rigs and other
property, and that numerous wells
were burning with no possibility of
their being extinguished. On the
other hand, other dispatches declared
the fire was confined to three or eour
wells, with the fire fighting forces
recruited from thousands of 1aborers
from other fields SO organized as to
render a spread of the flames un-
likely. Government officials were
able to add but little up to midnight
to the general knowledge of the sit
uation. All estimates of the none
tary loss can only be mere guess
work until the flames have subsidized.

TOWN WRANGLES AT
NAMING OF SCHOOL
Palisade, N. ", Township Stirred by
! Proposal to Honor Memory of
Baron Won Steuben.

Hackensack, N. j., July 21.-Palis-
ade township was stirred today by a
controversy over the naming of a
new school building after Baron Won
Steuben, German soldier and Revo-
lutionary war general under Wash
ington.
Residents of River Edge Manor,
where the building is to be located,
appeared before the township board
of education, asking that naming of
the school be postponed until all the
residents could have an opportunity
to express their opinion but the board
declined. It refused also to consider
another name and announced the
cornerstone would be laid Saturday,
according to plans.
DIRECTORS said there was no evil
dence that the baron ever became an
American citizen and they alleged the
movement to name the school in his
honor was started by German resi-
dents of the township
Defenders of the board recalled Won
Steuben's record in the Revolution
and pointed out that several states
gave him grants of land after the
war. He died in Steubenville, N Y,
which was named for him in 1894.

AND GARDEN NOTES

Clemson College, February.--Ir
pruning bearing apple trees, remem-
Der that the fruit is borne on the lit
tie crooked <purs that are found on
wood two years old and older. Save
these spurs if you wish a crop of fruit
each year.
Moderate pruning of apple trees
will give better results than a severe
cutting back. If heavily pruned, the
growth will be too vigorous and at
the expense of fruit production.
In pruning blackberries, remove
all canes that produced fruit during
1920. This years crop will be pro-
duced on one-year-old wood.
A hot-bed is not necessary in
starting early plants to be trans
planted to the garden. Cabbage, let
tuce, tomato, pepper and eggplant
can be started in any convenient size
box. Before being planted in the gar
den the seedlings should be hardened
off by placing the box out in the open
during the day and on nights when
no frost is expected.
In bedding sweet potatoes, it is
we'll to remember that diseased poto-
toes will produce diseased plants,
which in turn will produce a diseased
rop. Exercise care to get clean,
healthy plants and grow the crop in
soil that lis disease-free.
