saturday afternoon last, in the Ses-
ion House, at Zion.
The meeting was for the ratifica-
ton or rejection of a recommends

Drought out large attendance. AS
The bulk of the insurance of the AS

should be in central location, and
hat North East had little claim upon
it.

KENT WHEAT CROP BELOW
LAST YEARS

With the wheat season about to
close the farmers of Kent County
have been forced to accept disap-
pointing results from crops that
promised much at early stages.
Mr.. ]. Il. Kibler, of the firm of G.
w. Kibler and Sons, grain dealers,
said that in the majority of instan-
ces the farmers found themselves
with crops that were only little bet
ter than half of the crop of last sea-
son. Farmers who last year har-
vested around 1000 bushels were this
year able to get but 1900 or 1900.
In some cases, however, the farmers
got a larger yield than last season.

TO FIGHT BEETLES WITH WASPS

The government receiver recently
a large shipment of a certain species
Of wasps, from Korea. The wasps
are parasite of the Japanese beetle.
rhe parasites were shipped as adults
in specially prepared tins containing
supplies of water and food, The
wasps were used in part for immedi-
Ate colonization and in part for pro-
pagation, the latter resulting in the
production of about $4,000 eggs.
The parasitized beetle larvae bearing
.hese eggs were transferred from the
laboratory at Riyerten, n. j., to the
feld, where, under normal condi-
tions they are able to develop into
adult wasps, Some wasps Of this
species are being colonized ON Long
island, where they are being used in
work against the Aslatic beetle,

GASOLINE BLAZE

While the tank of q motor cycle
belonging to George w. Christensen,
of Brooklyn, N. Y, was being filled
at one of the pumps in front of the
garage of Scott Wilson e Son, in
this town, shortly after four O'Clock
of Thursday afternoon last, gasoline
was spilled on the coils of the engine
and Immediately ignited. The ma
chine was enveloped in flames in
stantly, and toppled over as the rid
er hastily got off of it.
The cap Of the tank on the motor
cycle being off, allowed gasoline to
pour out and spread the flames,
which communicated to gasoline
about the pump, and the blaze as
sumed threatening proportions al
most in an instant.
An alarm was sounded, small
hand extinguisher brought into play
on the blazing pump in close proxim-
lty to the front of the building, and a
coil of wire hooked over the
motor cycle and it was pulled to the
middle of the street. The fire en-
gine was on the scene in a few min
utes and a chemical stream soon
smothered the blaze. The motor
cycle was badly warped and dam
aged by the blaze.
1t was at this garage on Monday,
June 13, 1921, that blazing gasoline
caused fire that wiped out the ga
rage, an adjoining dwelling and the
NJ. E. Church.

THE 1928 MARYLAND AUTO TAGS

The 1928 auto tag for Maryland
will have a light blue background
with white lettering and numerals.
The contract for the new tags has
been awarded to the Maryland Peni-
tentiary and they are being manu-
factured by the convict labor.
In accordance with an act of the
last Legislature, motorists may put
on their 1928 license tags on Decem-
ber 18th. Such an arrangement,
Commissioner Boughman thinks, will
tend to eliminate the rush for tags
which usually begins after Christmas
Day of each year. Prior to 1927,
automobile owners were not permit
ted to operate their cars until the
first day of the year for which they
were issued.

POWER FIGHT EXPECTED TO
END IN COURT

The fight between the Consolidat-
ed Gas and Electric Company and
the Northern Maryland Power Com
pany for the right to serve Havre de
Grace with power will not be ended
| by decision of the Public Service
Commission, it was indicated by at
torneys of the opposing companies
at the conclusion of the third days
hearing before the commission Fri
day.
Francis ]. Carey, attorney for the
Northern Maryland company, said
that decision by the commission
against his client meant that the case
would go to the courts before final
settlement was reached.
And for that matter" Mr.. Carey
said, "a decision against the Consol-
lated company also will mean that
the case will go to the courts"
Herbert A. Wagner, president of
the Gas company, testified that his
company has expended approximately
$15O,000 for the construction OF
lines into Havre de Grace.
The town, which is approximately
twelve miles from the Conowingo
dam, is strategic point for the To-
cation of power lines for the Gas Co.
because of its proximity to the dam,
according to those acquainted with
the power utility situation. With
the eventual completion OF the dam
it is anticipated that Havre de Grace
will become an Industrial center
where power will be in great de-
mand.
Location of its lines in Havre de
Grace also would put the Gas Co., in
position to command much greater
strength in bidding for the electrifi-
cation of the Balto.- Wilmington divi-
sion of the Pennsylvania Railroad, it
is asserted. A contract was awarded
several days ago to the Philadelphia
Electric Co., promoters of the Como
wingo project, by the Pennsylvania
Railroad to furnish power to the rail-
road for territory adjacent to Phila-
delphia.
