the Salisbury, (Md) Chamber of
Commerce. 1t was stated at the
meeting that the stockholders in this
district totaled more than S4,OOO,OOO.
George w. WoolfOrd, president of the
Eastern. Shore Trust Company, of
Cambridge, was elected chairman of a
committee of five. This committee
will request the stockholders to de-
posit their certificates with the bank,
with power of attorney. An amount,
representing from one half to one per
cent. of the par value of their certifi-
Gates, will also be deposited for use
by the committee in legal procedure
if such is deemed necessary. 1t Is
pointed out that the four millions, OF
more, represented on the eastern
shore of Maryland and Delaware is
sufficient to give the stakeholder;
some voice in any procedure taken by
the receivers. The executive commit
tee will at once proceed to operate
through the proper channels to pro
tect the interests of the eleven cOun
ties as a whole. If necessary a cor
poration attorney will be employed
C. Victor Mathews, district represen
tative of the Dollings Company, wh'

in the eleven counties, declared at th'
meeting that full details of the tran
sactions of the company's business il

hands of L. S. District Attorney
Amos w. WoOdcOck. One half of tn
reported four million dollars is SAT-
to have been invested by residents o
the Maryland counties and the re
mainder by the two lower Delawar
counties. Mr.. Mathews declared tha
the names of the stockholders and tn
total amount that had been investe
in that district would not be mad
public. Similar action on the part o
the shareholders is said to be unde
way in other districts.

ROAD THRU SMYRNA IS LAID
Sherman & Rhodes Complete Laying
Cement Last Thursday-Odessa to
BOyd's Corner is Also Laid

Sherman & Rhodes, who had the,
contract for building the DUPONT Road
from the Armstrong farm thru Smyr-
ma to the corner of Leipsic road, join
ing up with both the concrete roads
north and south, completed the road
last Thursday in record time. There
were quite a number of spectators to
see the last shovel full of concrete
dumped and there was rejoicing, not
only on the part of the contractors,
but everybody, that this piece of road
was finished. In about three weeks
or less time, it is said, this road will
be open to the public. In less time
than this the road from Odessa to
Boyd's Corner will probably be open
ed. This road has been laid with con-
crete the entire distance except the
fill and new causeway at Old Draw
yers Greek. In the meantime the old
road will be used. At MacDonough
a complete change has taken place,
Instead of the bend in the road, so
familiar to this hamlet, there will be
a straight road. This has been ac-
cOmplshed by moving the residence
which projected out from the old
Commodore MacDOnough land mark
back in line with it, and the tearing
out of several of the big shade trees
From Boyd's Corner to st. Georges
progress is slower than any point or
the entire boulevard. Much grading
, is yet to be done, while more thar

This stretch, unless a hustle is made

hand and force something done. Gen

NICHOLS TELLS OF COOLIDGE
Writes to Boston Globe of the Class
Red Head Row and Plug Hat Race
Coolidge Esteemed bY Classmates


Red Head Row and Plug Hat Race
Coolidge Esteemed by Classmates
Rev. Ransom P. Nichols of Smyrna,
director of Religious Education of
Wilmington Conference, writes this
story to the Boston Globe concerning
his friend and classmate President
Coolidge: "All members of the class
of 1895 of Amherst College are pull
ing for Calvin Coolidge, and some of
US are praying for him. In the man
who had faith in his Commonwealth,
faith in his alma mater and faith in
his classmates, his classmates in turn
also have perfect faith. Their faith
is based not alone in the splendid pub
lie record. Their faith finds its deep
er roots in an intimate and sympa-
thetic, frst-hand acquaintance of his
personality. One of the first intima-
tions given US of the quality of his
personality came when he spoke to
the subject, "When / got stuck" The
occasion was the so-called plug hat
banquet. The class had had a race,
called the plug hat race, each one of
us carrying a cane and, firmly set on
our heads, a shining plug hat, mostly
of ancient date. Seven losers enter
tanned the winners. Calvin was one
of the seven. His remarks, as / re-
call them, dry, terse and keen, were
to the effect that a bayfield, was per-
haps not the best kind of a training
ground for that kind of race. So,
said he, 81 got stuck" But that was
the only race he ever lost, and hay
field has proven again not the worst
sort of training ground for certain
kinds of races. Touching the matter
of red heads, Prof. George D. Olds
acting president of Amherst College
who came to Amherst as an instruc-
tor the same year the class entered
and whom the class has adopted as 8
full member, speaking at our last re-
union in 1920, made mention of his
feelings of loneliness in the first day:
= at Amhurst, and how after a brie-
time he began picking out individual!
: here and there i'll his classes. Tn,
: first he spotted were the ones of hi

But not for long, for soon these al
became his friends. Whether by ac

WAGE WAR JAPANESE BEETLE
Government Spreads Net To Prevent
1t Entering Delaware.-State Aiding

Government Spreads Net To Prevent
1t Entering Delaware.-State Aiding
The State highway police are act
ing in conjunction with the Federal
authorities in combating the spread of
the destructive Japanese beetle, which
already has invaded large sections of
Southeastern Pennsylvania and West
ern New Jersey. The United States
Department of Agriculture has estab-
lished a quarantine of sections in
which the insect has made its appear
ance, including roughly the territory
surrounding Camden, all of Philadel-
phia, part of Montgomery and Del
aware counties and practically down
to the Delaware State line. One ar
rest was made by the Delaware State
highway police last Friday night of
a man charged with having violated
the quarantine, which requires that
all produce transported from the
quarantined areas must first be in
spected by government officials and
found free from the larvae of the
beetle. This vegetation destroying in
sect first made its appearance in the
United States in Riverton, N. j.,
where the L. S. Bureau of Etymology
for over three years has been MAIN
tanning a station to study methods of
combating the pest. So far these ex-
periments have not resulted in the
discovery of a remedy. Members of
the Delaware State Department of
Agriculture visited the station at Riv-
erton last Friday, examined speci-
mems of the beetle and gathered in
formation regarding experiments that
have been made in attempts to des-
stroy it. This precaution, Dean c. A.
McCue, of the Delaware Experimental
station at Newark said is being taken
to enable the State Agricultural De
partment to be prepared to wage war
on the beetle should it make its ap-
pearance in this State, and also to be
in a position to disseminate infor-
nation concerning it to agriculturists
throughout the State. Once the in
sect gains a foothold in a section
Dean McCue said, there has not yet
been found means of destroying it.
