~" Graduates Teach on Farms, In
Shops-Of 81 teachers of vocational
agriculture under the federal voca-
tiona education act in Minnesota
about rs per cent are graduates of
the Minnesota College of Agricul-
ture, according to staff men of the
agricultural education division at
University Farm. Five of these
teachers were graduated last year,
and three others have but recently
completed studies after graduation.
The 81 are teaching not only in
schools, but in work shops and on
the farms. Since this work was
started in 1909 there has been steady
development.

Prices are nothing to brag about
but they are certainly on a sound
conservative basis. Usually they
are on the pre-war levels.
There are thousands Of farmers
who sold out or left their rented
farms who want to get back. Most
of them haven't money to buy, and
want to rent farms. In every locality
there are more inquiries than there
are farms for rent. This is a symp-
tom of the changing condition in
agriculture back to normal. 1t may
be followed by more active demand
for land, and by somewhat higher
values, but farmers and business men
agree that they do not want to see
another "boom.

100000 cars from his plants next
year.
Despite another prediction that
larger numbers of auto registrations
in every state would increase auto and
gas tax receipts for more highway
improvements, the highway bulletin
points to the effect of new car tax
elimination on present car owners.
"Used car values are based mainly
on the prices of new cars of like
types" it is explained. "Given a re-
duction of the present tax off the
new machine, a buyer would be fore
ed to take an equal or greater dis
count on used car traded in. Cash
buyers of new cars, of course, would
pay five per cent of the factory list
price less than they pay now. The
concession, however, would result
here in Minnesota in an immediate
loss of five per cent or more or up
wards of $4,000 motor vehicles now
owned in the state. This would ag-
gregate nearly $15,000,000 of di-
rect property value loss to present
car and truck owners in the state.
"From progressive, economic
viewpoint" the bulletin suggests" a
better proposal would call for con-
tinuation of the sales tax with
provision that every dollar of re-
ceipts must be apportioned in feder-
al highway aid to the states.
"Then car owners, paying all the
main highway bills, would get the
tax money back the sooner and with
bigger return in better roads savings
on the cost of running cars; highway
congestion now retarding motor We

CELEBRATED sIxTIETH WE'D.
DING ANNIVERSARY

An unusual social event was the
celebration at their home in Newark,
Delaware, on Thursday evening,
July 16, of the sixtieth wedding an
niversary of Mr.. and Mrs. John A.
Richey, who are former residents of
Cecil county, and have numerous
relatives and friends in this locality.
In it's report of the happy an
niversary the Newark Post says:
MRS. Richey, who is 80 years old,
was born in Baltimore, but has lived
most of her life in Conowingo,
Maryland, where she was married.
Five years ago, with her husband,
she moved to Delaware, living in
Marshallton for while and then to
her present home in Newark.
"Mr Richey is probably the last
of the famous Susquehanna river
pilots of a generation ago. AS
boy of II he directed barges up and
down the treacherous currents of the
river, long before railrods and high
ways usurped the business. At that
time huge RATS of lumber were
fioated down to Port Deposit from
as far north as Williamsport. The
pilots, familiar with every rock and
eddy, were responsible for the
safety of the passage. Mr.. Richey
is a native of Conowingo, and is
we'll known throughout the river
country He is 81 years of age, hale
and hearty and still capable as he
says "of doing good days work"
Thirty-five guests from Philadel-
phia, Baltimore, West Chester and
several nearby points attended the
party last Thursday. The supper
was served on the Richey lawn, but
sudden electrical storm drove the
guests to shelter indoors.
Mr.. and Mrs. Richey have. three
children, four grandchildren, and
aine great-grandchildren. The chill
dren, all residents of Newark, are
VI. w. Richey, Mrs. j. G. Grier and
Mrs. John r. Fulton. Four gen.
erations were represented at the
celebration.

BARNS DESTROYED BY
FIRE

Two alarms of fire were received
by the Community Fire Company on
Friday afternoon last.
The first alarm sent a number OF
firemen with the chemical truck to
the Janney farm, near Bay View.
The property is tenanted. by Thomp-
son Reed, and owned by Mrs.
Russell Reed.
Threshing operations had been
under way with traction engine,
which had just taken the water
tank to a small stream nearby to be
filled, when it was discovered the
straw stack was on fire.
The alarm brought both North
East anr Rising Sun fire companies
to the scene. The only available
water supply was a small creek and
the North East company soon was
pumping stream on the fire, which
spread so quickly from the burning
straw stack to the barn, that the
structure was soon doomed.
Attention was directed to saving
the dwelling, in close proximity, the
scant water supply, combined with
the chemical streams enabling the
firemen to save the house.
The straw stack, barn, wagon
shed and corn crib were destroyed,
together with contents, which in
cluded 500 bushels of wheat, 300
bushels of oats, 400 bushels OF old
corn, all this years hay crop and a
quantity of old hay in bales.
The loss will reach fully $4,000,
with only a partial insurance.
The second call was received by
the local company few minutes
before five o'clock, just after the
firemen had yeturned from Bay
View, and were preparing to re-
charge the chemical tanks.
The barn of John H. Blakeley,
near Oakwood, had been set on
fire supposedly by spontaneous
combustion.
The big pumper was taken to the
scene, but there being no water
supply nothing could be done in the
way of saving the barn, and at
tention was directed to preventing
spread of the flames to other build
ings. The barn was totally destroy
ed together with quantity OF hay,
wheat and some farm machinery.
