BOYS ACCUSED OF STARTING
WOODS FIRE

Charged with purposely starting a
woods fire ON top of Iron Hill, sew
eral days ago, John Cooper and Her
man Butler, boys aged about IL
years, have been committed for the
Juvenile Court by Magistrate
Thompson, of Newark, Del. The
Newark fire company succeeded in
extinguishing the fire after It had
burned over several acres OF wood
land. On their way to the fire the
firemen recalled having passed the
two boys coming from the vicinity.
After being questioned they were ar
rested by Constable Wideman and
admitted to Magistrate Thompson
that they started the fire "fer fun. !"
Only month ago the same boys,
with five others, were arrested for
breaking into the warehouse Of Gil
pin Buckingham, and on that oc-
casion were paroled to Magistrate
Thompson. For this second offense
they will probably be sent to the
Ferris Industrial School.

SERIOUS WOODS FIRE CHECKED
While William and Allen Demp-
sey were burning off clearing OF
their own land, near Oakwood, on
Thursday, May 3rd, the fire jumped
the road and swept towards Rock
Springs. Help was hastily gathered
and buildings saved in its path.
Forest Warden Balderston had a
crew with his equipment of tools for
fighting, and cut off the head, after
a tract of nearly 100 acres was
burned over. The loss was only to
the woodland and some fencing, but
it was a very lucky escape that a
larger tract Of the wooded section
was not burned.
Next day Allen Dempsey appeared
with Forest Warden Balderston, be-
fore the nearby magistrate Trimble,
and acknowledged carelessness in
causing this fire. Under the new
law of 1927, Chapter 649, which
states that every individual that
carelessly set on fire brushland, that
damages property of another. shall
be liable to fine of from $40 to
$100, or 10 days to one year lmpris-
onment. The magistrate suspended
sentence with Mr.. Dempsey paying
the state costs.
BY the new law it is hoped that
the public viii be more careful with
brush fires. The local volunteer. fire
company will also be spared their
most disagreeable work in exiting
uishing brush fires.

CHESAPEAKE CITY TREATED
FOR JAPANESE BEETLE
Cleanup Prevents Quarantine

Cleanup Prevents Quarantine
AS part Of the extensive campaign
OF the State Department Of Entomo-
logy against the Japanese, beetle in
those few localities where beetles
were actually found last year, work
was started on Monday, April 80, at
Chesapeake City in an effort to eradE
icate or hold this pest in check BY
means OF thoroughly soaking the
ground with a dilute solution OF
lcarbon bisulphide emulsion.
Chesapeake City was by far the
heaviest infestation of Japanese
beetle that was found in the State
last year and the treatment that is
now being carried on there, and
which will probably take two weeks
for completion, is doubly important
for that reason. The people Of
chesapeake City and Cecil county as
Ia whole will derive two fold ad-
vantage from this work OF the State
Entomologist Department, in that,
they will be protected in some meas
ure from rapidly increasing rayages
of the Japanese beetle and second,
the fact that the State has been will
ing to undertake the treatment OF
infected ground has caused the U. s.
Department OF Agriculture not to
quarantine the products ofs Mary
land growers in shipping into other
territories. This latter result is OF
untold value to many thousands OF
shippers and growers throughout
the State.
The purpose Of the ground treat
ment is to destroy the grub stage OF
the beetle, in which form the insect
spends the winter. The success OF
the treatment depends upon thor
oughly soaking the ground with a.
solution Of carbon bisulphide emul-
sion and water at the rate OF three
pints per square foot OF surface.
This solution is so made up that it
will not injure foliage or grass when
properly applied.
The work at Chesapeake City Is In
direct charge of P. d. Sanders, AS
sistant State Entomologist, who is
being assisted by w. T. Henerey, AS +.
sistant Etomologist. v. A. john
son, Junior Entomologist of the u.
s. Department of Agriculture who
has been previously located at the
Japanese Beetle Laboratories at
Riverton, New Jersey, is inspecting
the work for the Agricultural De-
partment.
The magnitude of this work can
be readily seen by the fact that the
clean up crew now has in constant
operation three proportioner ma
chimes each discharges six hundred
gallon of the spray per hour, and
one large machine that discharges
twelve hundred gallons of the spray
per hour.
This work will be carried to COM
pletion as rapidly as possible. In
order to facilitate it and to complete
the work in as short a time as possi-
BILE it is requested by the men In
charge that the people Of Chesa-
peake City will render every assist
ance possible. The work has gotten
a good start and has already met
with whole-hearted cooperation from
the people Of the town.

TOWN ELECTION
WIN Be Held Monday, May "A

AT the recent town meeting held
for the purpose Of placing in nomi--
nation candidates for Town Comnnis-
sioners, to be voted on the second
Monday in May, at the annual town
election, but five names were placed
in nomination, the old board being

would not be necessary to go
through the form of an election, but
this is required by law, in order that
the nominations, as made, be ratified.

day next, May IA, at the Commis-
