DOGS KILL GAME

Since January Ist, the State Game
Department has received at least SOC
letters from practically every County in
this State complaining about dogs run
ming at large and destroying game.
Whenever we could secure the names
and addresses of the parties owning the
dogs. we wrote them and requeated their
cooperation in this matter and appealed
to them to help us protect the game for
propagation. Dogs running at large be-
tween March 1 and August l., destroy
more game, especially rabbits, than the
hunters kill during the open season.

FIRE In ELKTON BUSINESS
SECTION
Five Buildings lDamaged-Aid Sum-
moned-Loss, $60,008

mOned-Loss, $60,0O8
Fire that broke out between ten
and eleven o'clock on Thursday
morning of last week, in the busi-
ness section of Elkton, proved so
stubborn and assumed such threat
ening proportions, that aid was sum-
moned from surrounding towns to
help fight it. Companies responded
with apparatus from Chesapeake
City, North East, Rising Sun, Port
Deposit, Wilmington and Havre de
Grace, and joined forces with the
Glkton Company.
The fire started on West Main St.
in the frame building occupied by
the American Stores Company and
Anthony Williams as a barber shop,
jewelry store and residence. The
danes spread to the three-story
brick building occupied as a resi-
dence and store by the Atlantic and
Pacific Tea Company, and Cohen
Bros, then to the store buildings
owned by Mrs. George R. Ash and
Papa Bros. The residence and store
building owned by the estate of the
ate James Alagia, was also damag-
I'd, but the flames were checked
there.
The cause of the fire has not been
determined.
Some of the burned buildings had
shingled roofs, covered with tin,
making the blaze stubborn to COM
bat.
The location of the buildings, close
to the Elk river, afforded never
failing water supply for all the en-
gines, that poured deluge on the
.bames, finally conquering them.

English Unveil
Oil Painting of
President Harding

London, Dec. 4.-Lord Charnwood
recently at the London Headquarters
of the English-Speaking Union, un.
yelled portrait in oils Of the late
President Harding by Miss Margaret
Lindsay Williams. During the sit
tings, President Harding used to
talk to the artist of the mutual bonds
between Great Britain and the Unit
ed States, and when, the portrait was
finished he said he thought it was
the best that had ever been made Of
him.
Lord Charnwood said the whole
British Empire would readily join in
the tribute they were paying to the
memory of an illustrious American.
The whole world, he said, grieved
when President Harding was sudden
ly taken, but not before he had been
instrumental in making at the Wash
ington Conference what might we'll
prove hereafter one " the greatest
strides yet taken towards the last
ing pacification of the world. His
high office had passed into the hands
of a very able and distinguished
successor, and although the time had
not arrived when they could see the
results of the action taken by Presi-
dent Coolidge's Administration in
the last few days, nevertheless that
action was Of the keenest intevest to
all and full of hope for the future.
The picture is the gift to the
Union of an anonymous friend.
