WHICH IS BEST d?

Following the recommendation Of
the international joint commission
that a waterway from the Atlantic
10 the Great Lakes be constructed by
Canada and the United States. to be
partly on Canadian and partly on
American territory, some Canadians
have come out with q demand that
the waterway be wholly on Canadian
soil. Instead Of the proposed route
by way OF the 81. Lawrence and The
Welland canal. these Canadian
patriots would have route BY way
Of the St. Lawrence. the Ottawa.
Lake NlpiSsing and the French river
TO Lake Huron.
This proposal recalls that there
has been fairly strong agitation in
this country for an all-Americ2n
canal from the Atlantic TO the lakes.
1t is proposed to build a canal from
Lake Ontario up the OswegO and
down the Mohawk river to the Hud-
son. This route. it is stated, besides
being entirely on American soil,
would be shorter and would enter
the Atlantic at New York. outside
the worst Of the fog and iceberg belt,
1t IS pointed out. too. that the ST
Lawrence IS open 10 navigation only
q part OF the year.
However. the Joint commission has
considered all the routes and has
recommended that by way OF the ST

ELKTON PARsON MAY RETURN
Six Elders, All Favorable to DIR. Me
ElmOyle, Elected at Congregational
Meeting of Presbyterian Church

Meeting of Presbyterian Church
From the tenor of the congregation
al meeting in the Elkton Presbyterian
Church Monday night it is believed
that Rev. John R. McElmoyle, deposed
pastor, will be recalled to the pastor
ate of the church at the next congre-
gational meeting to be held either late
in September or early in October.
Rev. Aquilla Webb, pastor of First
Central Presbyterian Church, Will
mington, was the moderator. He was
assisted by Rev. DR.. McMurray, pas
tor of Christiana Presbyterian Church
Upon order of the New Castle Pres
bytery, under whose jurisdiction this |
church comes, the congregation met |
Monday night to elect elders. Two
elders were elected for one year, two |
for two years and two for three years |
Those elected for the one year term
are: John R. Cavanaugh and Leonard
Brown. The two year men are: Cecil
/ Sempson and ]. R. Witworth; and the
three year men are: DR.. H. A. Mitchell
and Mallom r. Gilpin. 1t was one of
the largest and most peaceful meet
1 ings held in the church since the Bit
terest fight the Presbyterian church
has had for many years began four
years ago. The faction of the congre-
cation that has supported the ousted
clergyman all through the conflict
turned out in full force. There were
1T of them present as compared with
twenty of the faction that has formed
the opposition. The members of the
chrrch opposed to DR.. McElmOyle and
his friends entered the church quietly
and sat throughout the meeting with
out taking the slightest action. They
made no nominations, nor did they
cast any votes for the men nominated
to fill the position of elders. DIR. Nc
Elmoyle remained away from the
meeting and had no comment to make
> upon the apparent victory for his side
. of the argument. AS moderator of
the congregation appointed by the
, New Castle Presbytery, DR.. Webb an
! nounced that the church would be
4 closed for the month of August and
Q that it would be opened in September
5 and be supplied with preachers until
4 an election.

FARMER TRAPS AN EGG THIEF
II Was a Snake Which Was Caught by
Substituting Door Knob for Egg

James Willey,a Seaford farmer,m miss
ed eggs from a nest and discovered
snake nearby but was unable to kill it.
To fool the thief he took out the eggs
and put white porcelain doorknob in
the nest. Later he found the knob
gone. Not far distant he found the
snake apparently in agony. He killed
the snake and discovered it had swal-
lowed the doorknob. A neighboring
farmer also missed eggs. Hearing a
noise among his hens, he. rushed to the
hennery with lantern and gun. He
found that hen had deserted her nest
and snake was coiled over her eggs.
He fired at the snake but the explo-
sion extinguished the lantern, and it
was race to see which got out Of the
henery first, the man or the snake.
