BILL FOR NEW BRIDGE AT
COLUMBIA.

Steps toward financing the erec-
tion of a vehicular bridge across the
Susquehanna River between Colum-
bia and Wrightsdale, Pa, have been
taken by Congressman Griest, who
has introduced bill in the House of
Representatives asking for an ap-
preparation of one million, five hun
dred thousand dollars.
The bill provides that the bridge
be named after President Lincoln
and General John F, Reynolds, "a
native Laneaaterian who gave his
life to the Union at the Battle oil
Gettysburg.
The bridge would be connecting
link on the national highway which
bears the name of Lincoln.
An expenditure of three million
dollars on the project is contem-
plated In the provisions of the bill
which are to the effect that the
Federal government shall appropri-
ate half that sum and the state of
Pennsylvania the remainder.

THE MUSKRAT ONE OF della.
WARES WEALTH PRO-
nTICERC

With the pelts of the common
muskrat in demand at $3.50 to
$1.75 each the farmers of Delaware
have come to realization that these
rodents, once regarded as pests,
constitute one of the greatest assets
of the State. In the brief season of
fourteen weeks there are possibly
more than 100000 worth of skins
taken and sent to market, or sold
directly at the traps, and there is no
doubt the rats are far more profit
able than ever the cultivation of
peaches proved. Many farmers
realize from $3.50 to $4OO on every
acre of marshland they own and
they are now considering a propo-
sition to engage Systematically and
scientifically in the propagation of
these fur-bearing rodents.
There are hundreds of acres of
lowland in Delaware that cannot be
used for growing crops or other pur-
poses, where the raising of rats is
rapidly becoming the stay and sup
port of the fortunate owners in these
days when farming has ceased to
pay profit.
1t is believed that with the waste
land turned to proper account and
the propagation of muskrats well
established these marshes would
net more than $1,000,OO0 to the
farmer trappers.

was given, consisting of readings,

from the w. C. T. U.," written by
Mrs. N. G. Brown and read by Miss
E. r. stephens; Mrs. Clara Rooms
read poem, Carnations. After it's
reading Mrs. Pogue's granddaughter,
Isabel, brought in a bunch OF
white carnations as a token of love
from the members of the w. C. T.
U. for Mrs. Pogue.
Greetings from our band of women,
Mrs. Pogue we bring to you,
The honored host on this occasion or
our w. C. T. U.
Our Oldest charter member, do we
not feel proud of her?
Work accomplished which her sturdy
Scotch blood could not deter.
I'm so glad you lived to see Prohi-
bition in the land,
While it's part of the Constitution
we cannot sit down with fold
ed hands,
But let the slogan Law Enforcement
be our watchword now for
aye,
Until we know without doubt John
Barleycorn has gone to stay.
Our recording secretary thought of
these carnations white,
Given in honor of our mothers to
this little mother bright.
Each one represents our heart love
in its purity so fair,
With the wish for many years the
birthdays may come without
q care.

DIVORCE DENIAL REVERSED.
Maryland Court Of Appeals Decides
Fraud Annuls Marriage.

The Court of Appeals on Tuesday
reversed the Cecil County Circuit
Court decision which denied the
suit of Aurelin c. Brown for a d.
vorce from Earl Wesley Scott, alias
Caleb Bragg.
The suit is remanded to the Cir
cult Court in order that decree
annulling the marriage may be en-
tered.
Judge Moffett, who handed down
the opinion said:
An INSCRIPTIONS and plausible
swindler, prepossessing in appear
ance, and with the easy manners ana
flowing speech of his kind, secured
an introduction to a school girl
whose discretion in no wise exceed
ed her years. At that time not
only was he an ex-convict with
long criminal record, but had even
then committed other crimes for
which he was afterwards imprison-
ed.
This was his real character, but
this character he concealed from
the appellant, Miss Brown, and to
render the deception more secure he
told false and wholly fabricated
story of his life, which he after
wards characterized as ''bunk," and
at the same time artfully simulated
the appearance and actions Of
wounded soldier.
by such means he secured her
confidence and induced her to go
through a clandestine ceremony,
which she would not have done
had she known the truth. We can
not agree with the lower Court that
these facts are not sufficient to war
rant the annulment of the marriage.
The records unquestionably show
that the marriage was induced by
deliberate fraud"
