OHIO TO PRESERVE
OLD BATTLE FIELD

TOLEDO, Ohio, Dec. 5.-Work Of
identifying the site of the battle Of
Fallen Timbers in the valley at the
Maumee river, a few miles above this
city, has started under direction of
the state architect. The battlefield
site was given to the state on cordi-
ton that the eque rian statue OF Gen
eral Mad Anthem Wayne. designed
for the site, should be erected by Ohio
before December 81. 1926. The state
has appropriated $4,000 for the mon
umcnt, and lesders in historical socie-
ties backing the project believe that
private subscriptions win triple this
amount.

BRITISH TOWN HAS

LONDON, Dec. 5.--Claims to be
the most strangely named community
in England have been lodged by Tad
ley G od-Help-Us, a small village half
of which lies in Hampshire and
the other half in Berkshire. Even the
Oldest inhabitant or the local vicnr Is
unable to explain the origin Of Tad
ley's desperate affix.
Its trade is making bcsoms, or
brooms, out Of birch and hazel. which
grow in great profusion in the neigh
borhood and although there are only
about 500 inhabitants, they export
from 200 to 300 dozen brooms week.
Some families have carried on the in.
dustry in direct succession for 100
years. A good broom maker makes
six dozen brooms a day, for which
he is paid at the rate OF 20 to 81
cents a dozen.

CHESTERTOWN FLAX INDUSTRY
Boom For a $1,OOO,OOO Plant There
Smyna's Boom Petered Out

Several years ago Smyrna had a
flax industry boom and talk was
everywhere of the possibilities of a
profitable growing crop for our farm
ers and the great possibilities of a
big plant at Smyrna Landing. The
boom petered out. Now ChestertOwn,
Md, is having a boom with talk of a
million-dOllar plant there. Says a cor
respondent to the Wilmington Every
Evening: "a party of Philadelphia
and foreign capitalists, headed by
Theodore P. Haughey, flax engineer,
of Wilmington, were in conference in
ChestertOwn Thursday afternoon with
Harry F. jefferson, president of the
Business Mems Association; Wilbur
w. Hubbard, president of the Peer
less Fertilizer Company, and Thomas
ID. Bowers, vice-president of the Trird
National Bank, relative to the estab-
liShment of a mammoth flax fibre
manufacturing plant in CheStertown
for the purpose of making flax fibre
from raw material to be grown by the
farmers of the county. DR.. L. c.
Cope, representative of a syndicate of
] London capitalists, who accompanied
the delegation, and who has travelled
through all sections of the United
States looking for a desirable location
for a factory, stated that the Mary
land-Delaware peninsula possesses the
best advantages as to climate and
character of the soil of any section
in the country for the production of
flax, which yields from two to three
tons per acre and sells for 500 per
ton. 1t was intimated that the indus
try for Chestertown, expects to ex-
pend $1,000,000 in equipping a plant
and developing the industry. Those
in the delegation were: Theodore P.
Haughey, Charles I. Gordon, director
general of Jas. F. Low Co., flax spin
ming machinery manufacturers of
Monifeth, Scotland; VIM. NJ. Watson
and H. Edward Jefferson, of the house
of Edward Jefferson, textile machin-
cry importers, Philadelphia; DR.. L. c.
