INJURED In AUTO ACCIDENT

Three persons were injured, one of
them seriously. Tuesday night, near
Odessa, when the automobile in which
they were riding suddenly turned turtle,
throwing them to the road. First aid
was given by passing motorists and the
ambulance of the New Castle Hospital
was summoned to remove them to the
Delaware Hospital.
Mrs. Charles Bryan of 3019 West
Dauphin street, Philadelphia, was the
most seriously injured of the trio. She
sustained broken collar bone and
bruises. Mrs. Phoebe Morris. of near
Milford, and her son, Edgar Morris, IL
years old, the other occupants of the
machine, sustained decorations and
bruises.
Mrs Morris and Mrs. Bryan who is
the formers sister, were on their way
to Philadelphia with Edgar Morris, who
was to undergo an operation for the re-
moval of adenoids and tonsils at a
Philadelphia hospital, when the acci-
dent occurred.
Mrs. Morris and her son were able to
continue on their journey Wedn asday.

our people, generally. Another phase
of the matter is that several of the
residents who are steadfast for pro-
Rress in the town, contributed their
share to a promoter who was here max
ing collections few weeks ago, the
funds to start factory, and hope the
plan may succeed.
Tomatoes, beans. corn and other
vegetables are still being gathered for
the city markets, although most of the
farmers are now hauling pumpkins and
sweet potatoes to the markets. In odd
contrast to the long growing season is
the fact that many farmers have taeir
field corn shocked and husked earlier
than they can recall in any past season.
This has been made possible by the fact
that corn made vigorous growth dur
ing the wet Spring, while the hot dry
weather of September made it mature
much earlier than usual.
Another long growing season is being
made the best of by the progressive
farmers of this section. While produc-
ton has been cut considerably by six
weeks of dry weather, crops were gen
orally so large this season that they are
still being gathered from the fields in
profitable quantities. Excessively warm
mucky weather on Tuesday made the
farmers think of April rather than Oc
tober. So far the showers have brought
some relief from the long dry spell, bu
fields need good soaking. When there
finally is heavy rain however, farmers
look for it to be followed by drop il
temperature with frosts severe enough
to quickly wind up the season for gath
ering field crops.
