Philadelphia Conflicts
Thought In DelasUare

The following item appeared in the
Baltimore News of Wednesday last:
Officials Of Southern Delaware are
convinced, from reports they have re-
ceived throughout Sussex county, that
the six desperadoes who escaped
from the Eastern Penitentiary in
Philadelphia July IA, have visited at
least three places Georgetown, Lew
es and Laurel-since Tuesday night
Of last week.
The descriptions of the six convicts
tally with those of the men who were
seen at Lewes last Tuesday night, OBJ
tanned an automobile and drove thru
Georgetown to Laurel. At Lewes, it
is said, purchases of crackers, some
canned goods and cigarettes were
made.
On Wednesday two of the men were
recognized by Mrs. Hearn, wife of a
blacksmith, from newspaper photo
graphs. The automobile in which
they were riding stopped near her
home. They appeared to be going
toward Maryland.

Large Greeting Signs

The Rotary Club has shown it's in

City, and demonstrated its civic pride
by erecting three signs at three diff

where the Snow Hill road enters; one
where the so-called Virginia road en-

WHY CHERRIES DROP.

The excessive dropping of
cherries and other fruit has drawn
much attention this spring, writes
Arthur Frank, plant pathologist
at the Western Washington ex-
pertinent station. In the case Of
the cherry there are several reas-
ons that cause it. In the first
place, much of the drop is I'M
doubtedly due to the drought of
last summer. Secondly, at pol
lenation time there was a scarcity
of bees, as they were busy with
other flowers that were out at the
same time cherries were in bloom.
Thirdly, frost had some effect and
also disease and insect injury. A
poor set of pear, apples and also
currants is reported in many
places.
The drought of last summer
had bad influence on the trees
and this is just showing up now.
The pollenation trouble that oc-
Cured is simply this: A tree will
set what at first looks like good
crop. This rapidly drops off. Ex-
animation of many Of these fruits
shows that complete pollenation
never occurred. These fruits al
ways drop. The frost that oc-
CURED a few days ago hit some
fruit and now discolored and is
dropping. Brown rot is getting
some also.
Often drop will occur be-
cause of poor fertility of the soil.
This is particularly the case where
trees have occupied the same
ground for some years and have
not been taken care of. The put
ting of some commercial fertilizer
about the tree or the use of barn
yard manure will often help with
the fruit set.

COVE COMMENTS.
(By G. A. Renouf).

Saturday the 23d inst, was a
beautiful day, BETTING the Straw
berry festival at Ellisport, than
which a more favorable location
would be hard to find. These re-
curing festivals are decidedly of
advantage to the isalnd, advertis-
ing its beauties and prospects to
those who attend from Seattle and
Tacoma and also affords meet
ing ground for the islanders in
general. 1t was pleasant sight
to see the stately old lady as queen
of e festival, tlanked by
her youthful maids of honor and
attendant pages in MEDIEVAL at
tire. the vocal an instrumental
numbers were really fine and
pleasing. P. Monroe Smock, in
his Introductory address, was as
always very efficient and made
many telling points ,as evidenced
by the frequent applause. He
needed no megaphone or magno-
veX to carry his voice to his most
distant listeners. Colonel Hartley
has evidently faced more than one
audience during his life time and
did not fail to remind us that
there is such place on the map
as Everett. What Commissioner
Paul lacked in fluency he made up
in earnestness when mentioning
that forty thousand snatch from
the South district road fund.
Needless to say that Mr.. Paul still
has our mistaken confidence and
he who Gaines last gains best, for
we are not short memoried
people as whole. 1t is to be re-

Canning by the Pressure Cooker,

There are many ways to can
fruits and vegetables, but one
which is always sure, is the steam
pressure Gamer. TO insure sue
cess by this method, few rules
should be followed.
Fill the Gamer with water to
such depth that its level is just
below the rack which holds the
jars; if heated for some time be-
fore closing the canner, add hot
water occasionally to prevent its
boiling dry.
When packing highly perishable
vegetables, such as peas and sweet
corn, place each jar in the can
ner as soon as it has been packed,
70 keep it as hot as possible. There
should be, of course, heat under
the Gamer and hot water in the
bottom; the cover should be kept
ON though not clamped down. The
heat of the circulating steam will
thus gradually penetrate the jars
and will tend to arrest the growth
of bacteria during the period of
time necessary to complete the
packing.
After fastening the clamps on
the Gamer, see that no steam es-
capes anywhere, except at the pet
cock when it is open. Allow the

petcock to remain open until the
steam escapes from it in a steady
stream, so that no air remains in
side, Then close the petcocll
enough so that only a very small
trace of steam can escape.
Allow the temperature to rise
until the guage registers the de-
sired steam pressure. Count the
time from the moment the desired
pressure is reached.
Always maintain uniform
pressure during the processing of
the fruit or vegetables. At the
end of the processing period re-
move the Gamer from the fire.
When canning in glass jars
which are only partially sealed,
allow the Gamer to cool until the
steam gauge registers zero before
opening the petcock. 1t is some
times necessary to wait three or
four minutes after the zero point
has been reached before opening
the petcock.
Remove the jars from the pres
sure Gamer and tighten the lids,
being careful to see that no draft
strikes them. Do not stack jars
or cans close together until
thoroughly cool. If these few
rules are followed, success will be
yours in canning with the pres
sure cooker.
