PRESBYTERY GIVES NOTICE TO
McELMOYLE TO VACATE MANSE
NOTICE SERVED ON ELKTON
MINISTER BY REV. ]. NJ. ECKARD
Trustees of Church Who Receive Rent
From McElmOyle Claim Action of
Presbytery Void Without Consent

There was a new development in
the ElktOn Presbyterian Church mat
ter Saturday, when it was reported
the Board of Trustees of the church,
headed by Delaney Scott, arose in de-
fense of the dismissed pastor, Rev.
John McElmoyle, and declared that
inasmuch as they were in charge of
the church manse, DR.. McElmoyle would
be permitted to make it his home as
long as he pays the rent. The Pres
bytery of New Castle, at a recent
meeting in Wilmington, authorized
the Rev. J. NJ. L. Eckard, of Smyrna,
stated clerk, to request DR.. McElmoyle
to move from the manse, because he
was no longer pastor of the church.
1t is said, however, that no decision
or request that Presbytery may make
can be effective without action by the
Board of Trustees. DR.. McElmoyle is
taking this view and is treating the
action of the Presbytery with indiffer-
ence. Henry Mccullough, DR.. w. T.
Morrison and w. S. Evans are the
three elders of the church who are op-
posed to DR.. McElmoyle, and it was
they who requested his resignation,
which he at first refused to give, some
time ago, it is said. On July 81 there
will be a meeting of the congregation
to elect elders. There has been some
trouble in the church about the cleo
tiOn of elders, the congregation con-
tending that at the Baltimore Syno-
dical meeting the Presbytery was or
dered to conduct an election of elders
in the Elkton Church, but refused to
do so.

MUCH LOCAL INTEREST OVER
COAL AND RAILROAD CRISIS
FEW IN SMYRNA HAVE LAID IN
THEIR NEXT WINTERS COAL
Are Hoping Strike Will Be Settled
and That Coal Will Be Cheaper
Harding UphOlds Labor Board

Much local interest is had in the
settlement of the coal and rail strike
and everybody is keeping in touch
with the current events on the sub
ject. With the coal strike hanging
on, many of our householders are be-
coming more or less anxious over their
next years coal supply. Few have
laid in their winter supply believing
that the strike would be of short du-
ration and that coal would eventually
be cheaper. Modified to meet the
crisis of nation wide fuel shortage,
federal agencies, producing operators
and railroad traffic experts awaited
last night the word from President
Harding to set in motion the admins
tration's machine for emergency coal
control. Ground work for the opera
tion Of the emergency fuel rationing
problem was laid before the Interstate
Commerce Commission, which declar-
ed an emergency existed on the rail-
roads east of the Mississippi river
This formal announcement of the car
riers' inability to serve the public
opened the way for the distribution of
coal under the plan unanimously
adopted by representatives of the pro-
ducing fields in conference with Sec
retary Hoover. Under this plan car
riers and public utilities would have
first consideration. In the railroad
crisis the latest news is that the ad-
ministration has announced that it
would support the United States Rail-
road Labor Board as the only agency
erected by law for handling the rail
strike. Executives of southwestern
railways announced that these roads
would not restore seniority rights to
striking shopmen. Western execu-
tives and the Pennsylvania system an
nounced that passenger and freight
traffic was normal, that large numbers
of men are being added to the shop
forces and that the general situation
is satisfactory. Martial law was de-
clared at Denison, Texas, where in
fantry companies are assembling. The
Interstate Commerce Commission de-
clared an emergency exists east of the
Missippi river on railways as first step
by the government toward control of
coal distribution.

$4,000 FARM FIRE UP STATE
George Ball, of Near Elsmere Loses
2 Horses, Wheat and Implements

Fire thought to have been caused
by a bolt of lightning destroyed barn
on the George Ball farm near Elsmere
Wilmington, early Monday morning.
The flames also consumed a large
quantity of wheat which was to have
been thresher Saturday, two horses
and large quantity of farming imple
ments. Mr.. Ball, who is Deputy
United States Marshall placed his
loss at $4,000. He carried $4,000 in
surance. Mr.. Ball discovered the fire
and with the assistance of others
saved two horses and other live stock.
The Five Points, Elsmere and Grams
ton Heights fremen responded. The
Wilmington fire department sent En-
gine Company No. 8, but the Whining
ton firemen did not go into service as
there was no water on the place. The
firemen remained on the scene until
all the danger of the flames spreading
was past. Mr.. and Mrs. Ball served
breakfast to the firefghters.

PINS IN HER MOUTH A MAGNET
Miss Alice King, of Newport Gets
Peculiar Shock During Storm

Miss Alice King, of Newport, who is
employed in Wilmington, met with
peculiar accident early Tuesday even
ing of last week during the severe
electrical storm which passed over
that town. Miss King was seated in
her home sewing and, as is customary,
with women while sewing, had several
pins in her mouth. Suddenly Miss
King felt a peculiar sensation in her
mouth. 1t was like an electrica!
shock. Not only did the pain offset
her mouth, but extended to the top of
her head and lasted for several min
utes. In fact the pain was so severe
she was unable to talk for a while. 1t
is quite likely that flash of lightning
came in contact with the metal pins,
thereby causing a shock resembling
an electrical shock. Miss King has
entirely recovered from her unpleas-
ant experience.

DELAWARE FARM LAND VALUES
Federal Land Bank District Put On
Land Worth S6S.56 An Acre

Land Worth S68.56 An Acre
The plan to enlarge the scope of the
Farm Loan Act so that more farmers
may enjoy its benefits, and to supple
ment this with a system of intermed
late credits to fill the gap between the
six months paper subject to redis-
count by the Federal Reserve Banks
and the long term loans by the Feder-
al Land Banks, will contribute materi-
ally to an early restoration of normal
business and agricultural conditions, it
is claimed. Congress will be urged at
the next session to act on this plan, as
it is contended that there are thous-
ands of farms now barred from
participation in the Farm Loan Act
and consequently have to pay much
larger rate of interest on short term
loans. The Association of Secretary
Treasurers of the Eighth Federal
Land Bank District, are sending out
important information on the subject
This statement gives this information
as to Delaware farms: Total farms in
State, 10,140; average acreage, pei
farm, 93.1; value of all $50, 0,137, ,614.

WHOLE NO. 3539
TRYING OUT SIREN FIRE ALARM
is Now Installed in Bellfry of Town
Hall and is Set OFF by Electricity.
But Will he Placed nm tho Roof

Hall and is Set OFF by Electricity.
But Will be Placed on the Roof
The new siren fire alarm was placed
temporarily in the bellfry of the Town
Hall last week and was tried out for
the first time on Thursday. 1t is heard
in town even better than the fire bell
but there is some disappointment over
it not being loud enough especially in
event of high wind or during a storm
This may be due to the fact the sound
is muffled by reason of being in the
bellfry. William R. Davis, chairman
of the Town Hall Committee of Smyr-
ma Town Council and some fremen
have had conference over the mat
ter with the result that Town Council
will erect a place for it on the roof
and out in the open. The Hose Com
pany have a thirty-day trial and are
awaiting a visit from a factory in
spector, where the siren is made with
the hope that certain adjustments can
be made that will bring out the worth
of the device. In the event it is ac-
cepted by the Citizens Hose Company
Of Smyrna it is the desire to have two
buttons to operate the siren, one in the
telephone exchange, where it can be
touched Immediately by a phone oper-
atOr when receiving notice of a fire,
and the other button at the Town Hall
The opinion prevails the siren will
work much better when given a chance
free from distractions and out where
the sound will spread.

REGAINS VOICE AT REVIVAL
Milford WOman's Speech Is Restored
After Spiritual Baptism is Held

An instance where a woman's voice
was restored to her when she was re-
ligiously converted occurred at Milford
last week. Mrs. Mabel E. Hudson,
wife of William Hudson, of Milford,
has not been able to converse above
whisper for over three years, had her
power of speech completely restored
when she received a spiritual baptism
at the tent meeting in Milford. For
several weeks the Holiness Church
has been doing mission work in that
vicinity and their efforts have been
attended by a great religious revival
under the tent where their services
have been conducted. Mrs. Hudson's
case had been pronounced incurable.
Since her ailment she had received
treatment from several throat special
lists who failed to alleviate her trouble
so she could be heard by anyone with
whom she was trying to converse.
Friday night after she professed con-
version she started to read from a
hymn book and found she was able
to talk distinctly and loudly.

WELLINGTON BOY IS BURNED
Earl Lockwood Meets With Peculiar
Accident While Repairing His Car

Earl Lockwood, aged about 25 years
over at Millington, Md, was taken to
Union Hospital at Elkton, Sunday
evening in a serious condition from
burns, which he sustained in a peculiar
way. When the gasoline tank on his
automobile sprang a leak, he crawled
under the machine to make repairs.
In doing the work he got lot of oil
on his clothing. A friend of Lock-
wood, who came along, stopped and
began to talk and finally struck a
match to light cigarette. The blaze
from the match ignited Lockwood's
clothing, and before the burning gar
ments could be torn from his body he
was seriously burned about the body,
hands and legs. 1t will require sew
eral days to determine the exact ex-
tent of the burns.

ASK BETTER PRICES FOR EGGS
Delaware Poultry Association Seeks
Cooperation of New Jersey to Boost


The Delaware Poultry Association,
with headquarters at Milford, is en-
deavoring to have the New Jersey
Poultry Association join them in seek
ing better market for their products
The poultry men of this section have
not been securing the price for eggs
that has been obtained by the New
Jersey association, and they deemed it
would be wise to form a combination
with them for the purpose of market
ing eggs. Milford is the center of the
poultry industry in Delaware, and
there are, approximately, in this i'm
mediate vicinity $4,000 White Leghon
laying hens, which means a tremen-
dous output of eggs from this section.

LOCAL MELON CROP RIPENING
Promises to be the Best Yield in Many
Years and Profitable

Local growers are banking heavily
on their cantalope and watermelon
yields. The Delaware fruit is almost
ready for market and because of the
wet weather melons were never in a
better condition. The southern and
western stock is running short at an
opportune time for the local growers
and as the large acreage is at its best
and with demand at good prices
there is no apparent reason why the
Delaware stock should not net the
grower one of the best sesons on
record.
