 That was the dope, Mary" Dicly assured her gravely.
 Let me see" She passed her hand weakly over her forehead. What else can I remember? It seems 10 me I heard you say that she was dancing with that Mr. Leslie that you call the funny name"
 Dicky Humors Mary
 "The capering cockroach" Dicky returned, still using the tone one would employ in humoring the fancies of a sick child. Your hear ing was remarkably good, Mary. What else did you get ?''
 T don't remember anything more," she said. The next I knew there was water on my face and you all were chafing my hands"
 What do you suppose put her out?" Dicky wheeled on us, in true masculine demand for some place 10 put the blame of the happening. I'll bet it was the heat. This place is the very devil, anyway. When it was cold in the Spring we nearly froze 10 death, and now that it's al most Summer, they've got the steam going. Whats the ansWer?'
 I smiled at his truculenco, Mrs. Peters told me some of the rooms were damp so-'
 "So she's roasting the rest of us," Dick retorted. "Why don't you- oh! the windows are opcn,' he fin ished lamcly. Here, Mary, you mustn't get up"
 For the girl had risen to sitting posture with the evident purpose Of getting to her feet.

In the very first hand that was dealt Jim on this occasion he drew fat little joker This joker looked good to him-then. It was in the form of an order to take command of a machine gun squad of five and find a covered position likely to cover some nest of pill guns"
 You're comin' with me, Powell" Jim told his new friend. And Powell smiled, but his face had gone sud- denly ashen and his lips trembed nervously.
 The squad found the position. This was in little ravine where the hill- top overlooked Montmedy with the Belgian frontier in sight. It was not far from the extreme point of ad- vance of the American army in the Battle of Sedan, the last battle of

 Jim consented but laughing, told Powell he had better shake his hunch.
 "Hunches don't fit in with a ma chine gun squad"
 All right, Jim, maybe I'm crazy. But-'
 Forget it. And thus the subject was dropped. and the little detail be- gan pouring bullets into a bunch of undcrbrush down the river bank which Jim thought looked like an enemy pill box.
 He was right. Their own fire was met with a steady spill of machine gun pills. Jim s men, however were in a snug position in their little ra- vine with a creek at the bottom.
 Finally the pill box seemed to have shaken itself empty. After an hour had passed and no further re- turn had been made to their fire Jim ElwelI raised up to take a look.

ROOFS OF FORD GARAGES TO BE PAINTED
AS GUIDE POSTS FOR AIRPLANE PILOTS
DETROIT, Mich. Feb. 27.

DETROIT, Mich, Feb. 27. -
Edsel B. Ford, president of the
Ford Motor Company has sugges-
ted to authorized Ford dealers all
over the United States that they
paint on the roofs of their places
Of business the name Of their city
as guide posts for airplane
pilots. Inasmuch as there are
Ford dealers in more than 10000
cities and villages throughout the
United States, compliance with
this request will constitute an
important advancement in the de-
velopment of facilities for COM
mercial aviation.
Possibilities of such aerial
guide posts were demonstrated at
the time of the Commercial Air
plane Reliability Tour last fall
when the Ford dealers along the
route identified their cities. Re-
ports by pilots Of the seventeen
planes in the tour Of the prac-
tical value of this Identification
are believed to have prompted
Mr.. Ford to make this service
available to aviators all over the
country in the general interest of
commercial flying.
eve feel that it is our duty to
help develop this new mode Of
transportation, Mr.. Ford stated
in his communication to dealers,

cilities as are necessary to this

"It seems that one of tho very
great difficulties Of cross country
flying is in trying to distinguish
over what town or city the pilot
is travelling. The motorist is
usually advised when approaching
a town by appropriate sign boards,
but so far the air pilot is not so
fortunate"
According to Mr.. Ford's sug-
gested plan, the letters of the
name will be printed in white OF
a size which will be visible from
ordinary flying height. The
name will extend due east and
west with the tops Of the letters
toward the north with an arrow
pointing due north at the end OF
the word. In this way the let
tering and arrow serve as a com
pass to the pilot.

HINDU HELD IN JAIL WIFE AND THREE
CHILDREN LOOKED AFTER BY CHARITIES

Basant Singh of Phoenix, a
Hindu, has been brought here by
American immigration authorities
for deportation to Mexico and
presents a puzzling case inasmuch

Record Wheat Crop
On The Peninsula
Kent Ccun.y Yields Remarkable.
Climate Conditions Favor
big Averages

T 9 1926 wheat yield on the Del
MAJ IA Peninsula has created new
recor,., with an average production
ranging from thirty-five to forty-five
bushels per acre and in several in
So ,cs exceeding this unusual figure
and reaching top notch Of sixty bus.
an re.
tt record not only surpasses any
previous season on the Eastern Shore
in wheat production but it is believed
will equal if not exceed production in
any section of the United States this
season.
Thirty bushels of wheat per acre is
ec.sidered exceptionally good in a
n~rmal season and from reports in all
Of the wheat growing counties on the
Dl,-Mar-Va Eastern Shore yields in
excess of this figure are found, mean
ing that the 1926 wheat crop on the
Peninsula averages from thirty to 100
per cent above normal.
Unusually favorable climatic condi-
tons, are said by the growers to have
been responsible for this yield.
Information checked by the Del
Mar-Va Eastern Shore Association
provides a number of individual in
stances which give impressive illus
tration of the abnormal yield. In Wi
comico county, on farm owned joint
~ by Walter Mock and Frank H.
Dennis, operated by the latter, one Of
the most unusual records in produc-
ton has been established. On this
farm nine acre tract produced $40
bushels of wheat, and an eighteen
acre field threshed out an average of
more than fifty bushels per acre.
These results were carefully checked
by the thresher before being an
nounced.
Superintendent Culver at the Ches-
tertown, Md, shipping station, re-
ports that they have sen out rs car
loads of 1900 bushels each. Other
stations OH the line have also sent out
scores of cars heavily loaded, especi-
ally Kennedyville, Millington and
Massey. Thousands of bushels are also
being shipped by vessels from the
Eastern Shore of Maryland counties.

Weather conditions have been such
this year, as to prevent the immediate
storage of grain and has prompted
the farmers to dispose of it imme-
diately after threshing. Notwithsand-
ing this the price has remained favor
able. The wheat for mill purposes
has averaged $1.35 per bushel and
that for seed purposes 1925 per ba.
That the exceptional yields are not
spasmodic is indicated by the follow
ing individual results: from ITS acres
W. T. H. Whitley, in Kent county,
Md, produced $500 bushels. Fifteen
acres on the farm of Walter U. Lus-
ky lat Colchester, produced more than
forty bushels per acre Julian Jones,
near Chestertown threshed 5000 bu.
from ITO acres.
J. E .Hurlock raised $500 bushels
on 100 acres on a farm recently pur-
chased by him, known as the Pelling-
ton, or George Clement farm, near
Chesterville.
Hurlock Gale, on Clarence Bakers
farm near Blacks; raised $500 BUSH
els on 10 acres. Howard Haddaway,
of Broad Neck, on the Hume Farm,
near Fairlee, threshed 1900 bushels of
wheat from thirty-seven acres or thir-
two and one-half bushels per acre.
DR.. Julian T. Power, near Tolches-
ter from % acres threshed 751 BUSH
els IAN average Of II bushels per acre.
This crop followed a large crop Of
soy beans on the same land.
Michael Grady, on the Meginnis
farm, near Massey, threshed 2150 blu.
from 70 acres. Sewell Lee, on the
Strong farm in Broad Neck, averaged
more than thirty bushels per acre
from SO acres. From three acres he
threshed 14O bushels, an average of
&c bushels per acre.
Ridgely Brown, in Quaker Neck,
obtained 33 bushels from his Fultz
variety and % bushels from bearded,
on 70 acres.
From the wheat growing sections in
Delaware numerous individual results
show that the production this season
has exceeded the average year by
more than rs per cent. Taken thru
out the entire Peninsula has produced
wheat crop which, on figures avail
able will surpass the average. yield
by approximately sixty per cent and
the highest previous yield by more
than twenty per cent.

Don't try to make a camel out of
your cow, the Larrowe Institute of
Animal Economics warns the dairy
man. A camel can go for days with

eat regularly to do a days work. But
camel is not required to produce
from rs to so pounds of milk per day
as is cow.
"To continue to yield milk in the
quantities asked Of her, a cow needs
a full and regular ration of nourish-
ing food every day in the year," the

in two of those periods there were 81
weeks when 80 acres of pasture land
were required to yield feed enough
