FOX WORE COLLAR TEN
YEARS

James Ford, of Kennett Square,
Pa, q member OF. the original Bayard
Taylor Hunt Club. has in his posses
sion COLLAR that was placed on fox
in 1914. Several days ago nearby
farmer was forced to shoot a fox
which was relieving him of his
chickens. After shooting 1t hv
noticed that there was a collar
around its neck, and upon taking it
off noticed that it bore the following
inscription, b. T. Hunt 1907 & OS.'''
This made the farmer think that
reynard was about Is years old, so
he found Mr.. Ford giving him the
collar, who noted the old date and
looked over the record OF all foxes
dropped by the club. He found from
punch mark ON the name plate that
the collar had been placed on the
fox on Friday, February 13, 1914.
The reason for using the 1907 name
plate was because all of the 1914
plates had been used. The records
also show that the fox was.a female
dug on the farm OF Florence Yeat-
man on February 9Th, 1914, and
dropped on the farm of VIM. Megil-
1igan on the 18th. 1t Is rather un-
usual for a fox to wear collar for
ten years.-Kennett News.

EDUCATION WEEK

Devoting week every year to
arousing and renewing the enthu-
siasm of the Nation for its public
school system has proved its worth.
The benefits have abundantly justi-
fed the wisdom of DRIP. p. Claxton,
who Initiated the practice in 1920
while he was Commissioner of
Education.
The. success of the plan has at
treated attention in other countries:
repeated inquiries have come to us,
particularly from England, Australia
and New Zealand, about methods and
results. In England much has al
ready been done in the same line, but
the efforts so far have been local
only, and no widespread, concerted
movement has appeared.
With us, it is probable that Educa-
tion Week will become a permanent
institution like Thanksgiving Day.
There is as much reason for It; and
1t is eminently appropriate that the
two should be associated. The pub
lie schools are among our choicest
blessings, for they are the foundation
stones of Americas well-being.
Gratitude for their benefits by right
ought to be included in the reasons
for the thankfulness which Ameri-
cans express every year ON the last
Thursday in November.
Steps are already in progress for
the observance this year. Thu
American Legion, the : National
Education Association, and the
Bureau of Education have renewed
their alliance for this purpose, and
the week of November II to 2s has
been designated.

PREPARING FOR THE
CARNIVAL

The Community Fire Company Is
making active preparations for the
coming carnival, to be held In Rising
Sun August / to 8. inclusive.
The various committees have been
appointed and these are looking after
the different departments. The pur-
chasing committee visited Philadei-
phia last week and placed orders for
hosts of wares of every description
so that there will be great variety
to tempt the visitor at the carnival.
The handsome Dodge coupe that
Is to be given away on the last night.
may be seen at Rising Sun Garage,
where it is on exhibition. And you
will buy ticket when you see the
car.
The ladies of the community met
on Monday evening and laid plans
for the cake, lemonade, fancy ar
ticle, and other booths over whicn
they preside, and there is every as
surance there will be no disappoint-
ment along these lines.
The music committee has contract
ed with Coatesville Star Band
Parkesburg Band, and other musical
organizations, and this feature will
be as pleasing as it has at former
carnivals.
Advertising matter is being dis
tributed widely and everything is on
the move, with prospects that the
carnival this year will be the draw
ing factor 1t has always been.

ORCHARD FRUIT CROPS
PROMISE BIG
YIELDS

Orchard fruit crops In Maryland.
apples excepted, give promise Of
bountiful yields this year. In some
Maryland orchards apples are very
spotted; the trees wers full Of bloom
but did not set fruit, pollination be-
ing Kindred by the excessively wet
and cool spring. A full crop Of some
types is expected here and there on
the Eastern Shore, according to
Peninsula growers. Wet weather
has been favorable to insects and
disease in both States, and damage
is reported locally from those causes.
Spraying in not a few instances has
proven ineffective because OF con-
tinuous rains, which growers say
washed off the solution. Much scab
reported. And hail worked consid-
erable damage locally. The June
drop in both States reported as
heavy. In Delaware, all tree-fruit
prospects are much above the tenyear
average for this time of year.
The apple prospect in Maryland ON
July 1, was about 2,11s,00O bushels
against 100000 last season, and
i,714,000 the average of the last i've
years. A commercial crop Of 3S2.-
600 barrels is indicated. In Della.
ware the prospect is somewhat better
than in Maryland. A crop Of about
1,S1S,00O bushels is forecast, against
100000 last year, and $4,000 the
ayedage of the last five years. A.
commercial crop OF $4,000 barrels
is in sight.
In both States the peach prospect
July l was much above the ten-year
average. A crop Of $4,000 bushels
is indicted for Maryland against
$4,000 last year. In Delaware
2Ss,00O bushels against 225,O00
last var.
Pear production in Maryland,
based on July condition reports, is
forecast at $4,000 bushels, against
$4,000 last year. And in Delaware
at S6S,000 bushels against $4,000
last year.
These forecasts allow for average
influences prevailing from July to
harvest time.
If the 100000 carloads Of apples
which were shipped in the United
States during the past season were
made up into a single train the
engine would be In New York while
the caboose was still in st. Louis.

By Consolidated Press.

BY Consolidated Press.
SAN FRANCISCO, July lin the
noating derelict Of ninety-ton
wooden schooner now wandering aim
lessly about in the lanes of ocean
travel somewhere between San Fran
cisco and Panama, maritime author
tiles here today have a tragedy of
the sea which is one Of the strangest
ever recorded. The mystery derelict
Is that of the schooner Panviego,
apparently a ship without a country,
without registry at any port, and, so
far as can be learned. a vessel upon
which the maritime authorities of
the Seven Seas are unable to shed
any explanatory light.
Equally battling as the question Of
the place from which the ship hailed
is the fate that overlook her and
her captain and crew, presumed to
have numbered about twenty-seven
men.
First word regarding the half-sub-
merged hulk of the Panviego and
her fate has just been brought to
this port by the steamship Satsuma,
en- route from New York to the
orient.
Looms Out of Night.
The derelict was almost rammed
by the Satsuma off the western coast
of Costa Rica, several days ago
Looming up suddenly out of the night
like a phantom of fiction, her sails
still set, the PanViego crossed the
bow of the Satsuma SO closely that
a collision was narrowly averted.
When the master of the Satsuma
tried to hail her, there was no answer
Also she carried no lights, and IL
was noted that she sailed such an
erratic course that something must
be wrong. So the Satsuma stood by
until daylight.
When a boarding party was sent
to the Panviego the next morning,
they found her hold full of water.
most of her cargo jettisoned and
evidences that she had been through
a terrific storm. Captain and crew
were missing. The only living thins
aboard the vessel was fox terrier,
evidently the ships mascot, which
was almost dead from hunger and
thirst. This in itself was strange.
as one of the age-old traditions OF
the sea is that a ships mascot, Ike
women ard children, must always
come first in attempts at rescue.
Life Boats Untouched.
The mystery was further deepened
when it was found that all the l1e
boats were untouched upon davits,
and there was nothing to explain
how the skipper and crew left their
waterlogged ship. While sailors
from the Satsuma were aboaro the
Panyiego, another vessel. the Amer
ican tanker Cecil County, hove into
sight and also sent out boarding
party.
The two boarding crews, despite
long search, were unable to find any
thing which would tell from what
port the Panviego sailed or whittier
she was bound The ships log and
her papers were missing, while the
water in the hold had erased the
labels and shipping tags upon the
small part of the cargo that re-
mained unjettisoned.
The boarding party of the Cecil
County took off the TERROR mascot
