NEWS ABOUT WOMEN
 IN EltROrI

London, (4p-Ellen Terry knows the gentle art of growing old grace fully better. perhaps. than any other celebrated Englishwoman. She received great ovation at the first night of the revival of Much Ado About Nothing" in which Henry Ainley and Madge Titheradge had the roles of Bene- dick and Beatrice.
 Ellen Terry was the Beatrice in Henry Irving's production forty-four years ago and soon established her self as the greatest Beatrice Eng land had known. Consequently the appearance of the venerable actress in one of the boxes provoked pro lopged applause, which she acknow- ledged with much grace.
 Ellen Terry has made no attempt to conceal her years. Her hair r. silver white and she usually wears lace scarf about her head, and dresses in black or soft grays. She js a beautiful grandmotherly person who in her old age retains all the dignity and charm which made her England's foremost actress.
 When Ainley was called before the curtain at the end of the per formance he turned to Miss Terry'a box and expressed the pride his company felt in performing in her presence.

 This species is probably the most abundant of all fishes which occuE In the fresh and brackish waters of the northern part of Alaska. It Is found in all small streams of the low grounds. in the wet morasses and sphagnum-covered areas. which are soaked with water and which at times seem to contain water sum- cient only to moisten the skin.
 In the low grounds or tundra are thousands of small ponds of very slight depth. connected with each other by small streams of variable width. These narrow outlets of the ponds areeat certain seasons so full of fish that they completely block them up.
 The natives capture them by the use of small traps. The fish are placed in grass baskets where they quickly freeze. and then are put on stages, to keep them out of reach of the dogs. When brought into the house after weeks on the stages the fish thaw out and wiggle around settlements to subsist, this species which is the sole survivor of fam fly and order of fishes, Is rare In museums and collections in gener- al. The body is rather long, the pectorals are about half as long IS the hand. the eye Is rather small the mouth Is moderately large, the lower jaw projects like that of an aged trout. the back fins are short and without spines. and the tail is rounded, with many slender rays. In color 1t Is mottled brownish black. The fish resembles our pike or small pickerel,

FISH IN ICE

 Preliminary investigation has de termined that the Alaskan black fish, principal food of the natives living between the Yukon delta and the Kuskokwim river. has fremen- dous vitality. and Is as lively as ever when thawed out after weeks in their icy prisons.
 Cases have been reported where frozen fish have come back to life after being swallowed by native dogs. In these instance the fish were thawed out by the animal heat

BEETLE IDENTIFIED

Last week while picking black
berries near Cecil Paper Mill,
Clarence G.. Krauss saw swarms of
beetles feeding on various plants,
and fearing they were that dreaded
winged pest, the Japanese Beetle,
caught several of them and placed
them in bottle.
County Agent T. H. Bartilson, of
Elkton, was notified and forwarded
specimens to the State Horticul-
tural Department, at the University
of Maryland, for identification.
H. S. Mcconnell, Assistant En-
tomologist, identified the specimens
sent as the Dogbane Beetle (Chry-
soclus Auratus.) . The beetle be-
longs to the leaf beetle family, and
is found on various weeds, partic-
ularly dogbane and milkweed. and
is of no particular economic i'm
portance.

HEAD CRUSHED IN AUTO
CRASH

Thomas Gaffney, of Baltimore,
aged about SO years, met instant
death on Tuesday night, between
nine and ten o'clock, as the result of
an auto crash that occurred near the
residence of w. L. Brock, short
distance east of town.
Gaffney and two friends. in what
is termed a pay-as-you-drive car,
left Baltimore earlier in the eve
ming for Cononwingo, where the
former was employed. 1t seems the
men were not familiar with the
locality and drove through Como
wingo and a mile past Rising Sun,
where on inquiring the way they
turned and started back.
When near town their Ford tour
ing car was in collision with a
machine being driven in the op-
posite direction by Norman John
son, of Oxford, Pa.
The machine in which the three
men were was overturned, Gaffney
being pinned beneath it and his
skull crushed, death probably being
instant.
The unfortunate man was re-
moved from beneath the wrecked
machine and brought to the office of
DR.. R. C. Dodson, but he was
beyond medical aid.
Coroner Green, of Elkton, was
notified, the body taken to- the
undertaking parlors of Mrs. Jennie
w. Taylor and an inquest held the
following evening.
The jury could not place blame
from the evidence given, and render
ed a verdict of accidental death.
The deceased was unmarried and
is survived by his mother, who re-
sides in Baltimore.

COMPROMISE MADE ON COMO
WINGO ROAD
Route For New Thoroughfare
Will Be Through Massey's
Corner To Dam

AS compromise between Berkle,
and Darlington, in Hartford county
the new State road from the presen
State road to the Conowingo dan
will be routed through Massey's
Corner, it was decided Thursday by
the State Roads Commission. The
commission made it's decision fol
lowing visit to the territory con.
cerned and an inspection of the
possible routes to the dam..
Officials of the power company
have announced that bids for the
new concrete road, which will be
eighteen feet wide, will be advertised
Immediately. Although the new
dam will not be finished for several
years, it is hoped to complete the
road to the dam this winter to pro-
vide transportation facilities for the
Shure's Landing section.
After the new road is completed
at the expense of the power COM
pany, it will be turned over to the
roads commission as a part of the
State system of highways, it is
explained.
A hearing on the location of the
new road was held by the commits
sion June II following requests that
it be routed through Darlington.
These requests were opposed by
residents of Berkley, who objected
to the addition of more than a mile
to the distance from Hopkins Cor
ner to the dam, via Darlington.
John N. Mackall, chairman of the
Roads Commission, said the location
of the new concrete road decided
Thursday, with the addition of
macadam road through Darlington,
will provide adequate and satisfac-
tory highways for all interests of
the section.
The commission agreed to take
over the existing county road from
Hopkins Corner to Darlington and to
build macadam road between those
points. From Darlington to the
Darlington Cemetery the state and
county will cooperate in the con-
struction and maintenance of a
macadam road, while the power
company has agreed to construct a
macadam road between the Darling
ton Cemetery and the dam.
Thus, it was pointed out,
macadam road more than three
miles long will be provided from
Hopkins Corner, on the present
Conowingo State road, to the new
dam via Darlington, while the loca-
tion of the new concrete road will
provide virtually the maximum con-
venience to the residents of Berkley.

FARMERS DAY AT PORT
DEPOSIT
Attractive Program Arranged
Prominent Speakers To
Address Meeting

Address Meeting
1t is with a distinct feeling OF
pleasure that the speakership COM
mittee for Farmers Day at Tome
School, Port Deposit, on Saturday,
August 7th, is able to announce
a complete and most attractive
program.
;. With the acceptance of Mr.. Carl
Williams, of Oklahoma City, Okla
homa, to speak at Farmers Day a
speakers has been secured. Mr.
Williams, who is editor of the Okla
homa Farmers Stockman, is also
vice-chairman of the National Coun-
Gil of Farmers Cooperative Market
ing Associations, and is thoroughly
familiar with the agricultural situa-
ton throughout the county. Mr..
Williams has also recently been ap
pointed on the new Railroad Medi-
tation Board by President Coolidge,
bringing a wide agricultural ex-
perience to bear on the railroad
problem.
Mr.. E. e. Hough, of Hartford,
Connecticut, who is general manager
of the Connecticut Milk Producers
Association, will bring a message of
interest to the large number of
dairymen of this county. Mr..
Hough has had wide experience in
both the production and marketing
sides of the dairy question, and will
bring us very much worth while
discussion of this broad subject.
Of special interest to the ladies
will be the address of Mrs. John T.
Sippel, of Baltimore, on the subject
of the American Home" Mrs.
Sippel who is now State Director
of the Maryland Federation OF
Woman's Clubs, has been a former
president of this same organization,
and is thoroughly familiar with
women's club work in this state.
Her address should prove both in
teresting and profitable to the women
of the county.
An innovation that will be at
tempted at Farmers Day will be
community singing by the audience
under the leadership of Rev. E. E.
Coleman, of Bay View. Rev. Cole
man requests that everyone come
prepared to take part in the singing.
If our experiment proves pleasing to
the people of the county this year
it will undoubtedly become a per-
manent feature of Farmers Day
programs. The orchestra music for
the meeting this year will be fur
nished by Wrights Orchestra, of
Elkton, and cafetria lunch will be
served by the ladies of Hopewell
Church.
An excellent program is of no use
without an audience to enjoy it.
The speakership committee for Far
mers' Day has done it's part to get
together a fine program for your en-
joyment and now requests that you
make every effort to attend Far
mers' Day Saturday. Help us break |
all attendance records and make |
this one of the finest Farmers Days
the people of Cecil county have ever
enjoyed. Come to Farmers Day |
Saturday.

ABRAHAM LINCOLN

One hundred seventeen years
ago to-day, in log cabin in Ken
lucky, Abraham Lincoln was born
His parents were very poor, the
boy was reared amid the most linz
tied surroundings, he was SEIZED
ucated, and became President Of
the U. S. A. Time has placed him
within the inner circle Of the three
greatest Americans, and perhaps
the greatest of the three is Lin
coin.
Lincoln is character that is
unfathomed. No one has yet
searched his depth, nor his
heighth nor his breadth of human
sympathy and understanding,
Scores of authors have attempted
to write his life, some Of which
we have read. One of the newest
is by Carl Sandberg and the editor
has just finished a careful read
ing Of it. A large part of this life
Is devoted to the religion of Lin
coin. 1t is doubtful if any stu
dent will ever sound the bottom Of
Lincoln's religious conviction. He
never joined a church. In his
younger days he was beset With
many doubts, and wrote book
setting forth some of his views
Yet he was saturated with the
Bible, made reference to it in
most every address, and time and
again expressed his reliance on AL
mighty God.
The infidels pointed to him as
one of their own during his life
time, and the preachers looked up
on him as a man with a great and
abiding faith in God. DR.. Charles
F. Aked, formerly pastor of the
Fifth Avenue Baptist Chuch in N
Y. City, has recently organized an
"All Souls Church" in Los Ange,
les, and the only creed of this
new church is quotation from
Lincoln: eff | ever find church
that writes as its sole requisite ia
membership the words, Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with
all thy strength, and with all thy

Moldv Grain Harmful

In many cases 1t has been found
that the fowls out on the range have
been able to get moldy grain such as
is found around straw stacks or where
the machine was set ut threshing time.
Sometimes this damp sprouted corn Is
not Injurious, although fowls are likely
to get too much OF 1t, but the worst
effects are found when this grain has
become moldy. Molds are poisonous
to fowls.
