SELLING WAR SUPPLIES

One of the largest business enter
prises conducted under one manage
ment in the United States during the
past year has been the Government
job of disposing of surplus war ma
terial. More than 100000 differnt ar
ticles have been sold for cash thro a
nationwide auction sale system. Sales
have been in progress five days in
every week all the year and property
that cost nearly half billion dollars
has been disposed of, the cash proceeds
turned into the Treasury aggregat-
ing approximately $S3,000,OO0.
A summary of the enormous trans
action in which the War Department
has been engaged, obtained from the
Office of Assistant Secretary Vain
wright, who is Uncl Sans head sales
man, shows that on September 1, 1921,
there was available for sale about
$3.50 100000 in surplus war stocks,
ranging in character and size from
locomotives to pins and needles. One
year later there remained on hand of
that amount property worth. $243,-
100000, and officials now express the
hope that Uncle Sans shelves could
be cleared in another six months.

QUAKEs IN BRITISH ISLES
SeIsmatie Disturbances Not at All Un-

Much Damage.

Although not frequently reported,
earthquakes are quite. common In the
British isles, but rarely do sufficient
damage to attract wide attention, re-
marks the New York Times. Near Lon

where the famous earl of Warwick
was killed, Is occasionally associated
dents In that district have often de-
plored the loss Of cups and saucers
shaken from shelves and tables.
Some years ago Colchester, near the
east coast Of England. was subject to
an earthquake which did considerable
damage to buildings. Many persons
interested in seismography visited the
headquarters Of the English oyster in
dustry and reported upon the occur
renee, among them the late Professor
Milne, the well-known authority upon
the subject. who established an EARTH

line, and whereas inland places may
feel shocks, the east coast towns are
really exposed to greater danger from
subterranean disturbances.

TO MAIL LICENSE TAGS

Under plans announced by E. Aus
tin Baughman, Automobile Commits
sioner, applications for license tags fol
1923 will be mailed to auto owners OF
the State beginning November n, and
each day thereafter until every own
er has been reached. And Immediate
w after the replies begin coming in
thew will be handled, and it is expect
ID that many owners will have their
tags many days ahead of January l.
when the first go into use.
Commissioner Baughman has asked
hat the owners fill out the Information
blanks, which deal with the type o.
anti-glare headlights, the chauffer. OF
,perator's card number and the other
ccessary information usually re-
!uired.
As soon as the applications have
,een filled out they must be mailed
pack to the Office, accompanied by a
check or cash for the amount based
on the prescribed fee. Then, it Is
planned to dispose of each days re-
quest on the same day as received
This will do away to some extent, with
the last-minute rush which has hereto
fore prevailed and which works
hardship both on the owner and the
office force.
After the blanks have been mailed
out and the answers begin to come In
Commissioner Baughman intends to
begin distribution December 1, but he
says that only the cards which have
,een filled out accurately will receive
prompt attention, as the others will
have to be gone over again. The stub
marked Registration Certificate
must be detached, he said, and if care
is not exercisd to see that the requir-
ed information is properly filled in
the entire application blank will be re-
turned and delays will occur and con-
fusion result.
As an aid to the smooth working OF
the plans which have been laid in the
Automobile Commissioners office, ii
has been requested that all owners OF
motor vehicles who have changed their
address since last receiving registra-
ton should notify the Office of the
Commissioner in Baltimore at once
The tags this year will be on yellow
background with black numerals and
lettering.

HOUSE RICH IN TRADITIONS
Bradford Homestead, Built In 1874,
10 Preserved 40 Memorial
OF Colonial Days.

One Of the oldest houses In Massa-
chusetts and one rich in Mayfower
traditions Is the Mai. John Bradford
homestead at Kingston, In Plymouth
county, about thirty-three miles south
Of Boston. II was built in 1874. The
land on which II stands originally was
part of Governor Bradford's farm. At
his death that portion Of the farm
passed to his son, Maj. William Brad
ford, for some years deputy governor
of the colony, and he gave the farm to
his son, John Bradford. on his mar
riage in 1875 to Mercy Warren, grand
daughter Of Richard Warren. one Of
those on the Mayfiower. The house
was built for their occupancy the pre-
vious year. Maj. John Bradford and
his wife lived there for 81 years and
brought up a family Of ten children.
The house is large plain frame
structure with deep. slanting rear roof,
and recently was renovated and fur
nished by q community organization
known as the Jones River Village
club, the town of Kingston being on
the Jones river. Previous to that the
ancient home had been occupied by an
Italian family and there was danger
that this fine memorial Of the Brad
fords would fall into ruin. Many of
the residents in Kingston contributed
old furniture and the principal rooms
have q typical old-fashioned Seven.

RECEIvERSHIP ASKED FOR
AMMAN, HORNER & co

A petition for a receivership for the
banking firm of Amman, Horner & Co.,
of this place, has been filed by DIR. B.
l. Jamison, through his attorney, Reno
S. Harp. The latter filed bill Tues
day for DIR. Jamison alleging that
the liabilities of the inactive banking
house are about $4,000, the majority
of this amount being owed depositors
from and in this place. No estimate
of the assets could be obtained.
The banking firm has been inactive
for about two years, the Farmers
State Bank purchasing the banking
house of the old firm. Numerous suits
have been brought against the al
legged insolvent company for collection
of Understanding deposits made with
the bank, it is said. The bill of COM
plant of DIR. Jamison states that the
complainant deposited the sum of
$645.37 in the bank August 8, 1921, to
bear four per cent. interest and. that
to date none of this amount has been
paid although several appeals have
been made for payment.
The bill further alleges that the
banking firm of Amman, Horner & Co.,
owns real estate in and about Emmits-
burg and also holds certain bank notes
in the Baltimore Commercial Bank,
Baltimore, these notes being deposit
ed as collateral security for payment
|sof loans received from time to time
from the Baltimore Commercial Bank.
The banking firm of Amman, Horner
& Company is an old establishment in
this community and at one time was
considered one of the most substan-
tial banking houses in this section of
the State. Shortly after the sale of
the old banking house, depositors
started action to recover their money
and at present some five or six suits
are pending in the local court against
the company.
The partnership is composed of An
ma E. Horner, ]. Stewart Amman, Ed
gar L. Amman and Andrew A. Horner.
Suits to recover deposits have been
filed by Charles J.. Rowe, !$525; Mary
E. Martin, $500; Robert B. Close,
trustee, $5,116; Samoset Chocolates
Co., $50; Emory C. Crum, 1856; Ersa
S. Six, $462; William B. Frizzell, Ad-
ministrator, 1886.

BIG FOREST FIRES

During the past week the forests OF
Frederick and Washington counties
have been swept by fires, thousands OF
acres having been burned over.
Mention OF fire in the mountains to
the southwest was made in last week
issue. While no fire could be observed
from this place at that time, the fiams
were driven by heavy wind across
miles of mountain and Thursday night
great lines of fire could be seen on top
of the mountain south of Thurmont
The wind continued to drive the fire
rapidly before it down the face of the
mountain to the west and south of Ca
toctin Furnace. Friday morning ii
had made it's way to section from
which the timber had been removed by
the Hickory Run Stave Company loca-
ted at Catoctin Furnace. This fire
burned from the lands of the McPher-
son property south to Fishing Creek
west of Lewistown. 1t was fought
all day Friday by men from Catoctin
Furnace and farmers whose lands lay
along the foot of the mountains, and
was kept to the west of public road
leading south along the mountain
Probably a thousand acres were burn
ed over Thursday night and Friday
The iremen aided by the snow on Fri
day afternoon, succeeded in stopping
tilt. Stumps and other heavy timber
held fire until Saturday. This, famed
by the wind started to spread and it
was necessary for men to start fight
ing again. Very little valuable tim
Der was burned.

Winchester, Va, Nov. 25.-Seven
hundred men were waging desperate
battle today to bring under control
the forest fires which have been rag
ing for almost week on Great North
Mountain, near here, and which al
ready have destroyed timber valued
by it's owners at between $4,000 and
100000. The flames, thought to be
under control early yesterday were
dashed by heavy wind and have laid
waste $4,000 acres, lreports received
here today stated. Usually effective
means of checking such fires have
proved fruitless on account of the
heavy wind and extreme dryness Of
the forests.
Many farm buildings and miles Of
fences have been destroyed by the
flames which at one time last night
were within 800 yards of the Rock
Enon Springs Hotel, summer resort
Timely shifting of the wind, however
prevented destruction of the hotel and
nearby cottages.
