ENTITLED TO RESTITUTION FOR
LOSS OF CALF

Magistrate Benjamin Vinton, of
Delaware City, has announced his
decision in the Peverly- Connor case,
SIS and costs was awarded to ]. B.
Connor of Elkton. The case was of
interest. Connor had calf stolen
from his pasture near Elkton and
several weeks later it was discover
ed on the farm of George Peverly,
near Middletown, Del. Connor sued
for the recovery of the calf, which
Poverty refused to give up, stating
that he had bought the calf at sale
at Middletown and that the purchase
was made in good faith, as he did
not know the calf has been stolen.
This testimony was found to be true,
but according to an old Delaware
statute Connor was entitled to resti-
tuition for the loss of the calf.

committed suicide because OF des-
pondency, the body of Charles
Ayres, 78 years old, was found float
ing in the Brandywine River under
Seventh street Bridge, Wilmington,

til late Tuesday afternoon, when

CHESAPEAKE & DELAWARE
CANAL

Lieut.. Col. R. P. Howell, U. S.
Engineer for the Wilmington dis
trict, announces that before winter
sets in the Chesapeake and Della
ware canal will have been redredg-
ed to the projected depth of twelve
feet at low tide.
Due to shoaling. landslides and
the sweeping in of vast amounts OF
mud and other matter into the conal
by tides coming from the Delaware
river and the Chesapeake Bay and
during storms, the canals low-tide
depth at various points has been re-
duced to as low as eight feet, Col.
Howell states.
The Federal Government, how
ever, is spending several hundred
thousand dollars to restore the canal
to the twelve-foot low-tide depth.
Several dredges have been removing
the landslides and shoaling during
the last few months.
Colonel Howell also announced
that one of the most troublesome
shoals, that at Goose Point, about a
mile east of Chesapeake City, will
be removed within a few days.
Navigation interests have complain
ed about the presence OF the shoai.

OLD WELSH TRACT CHURCH

OLD WELSH TRACT CHURCH
The 227th anniversary of the in
stitution of the Welsh Tract Old
School Baptist Chugch in Pencader
Hundred, near Newark, Del, was
observed on Sunday.
The Welsh Tract Church is the
oldest church in existence which has
had the same doctrine preached,
from its pulpit from the time the
church was instituted in the year
17O1, and brought from Wales. 1t
is the only, church which has held
continuous services, meeting being
conducted in the church every first
and third Sundays in the month.
In the quaint old graveyard which
surrounds the church, with its many
old and undecipherable tombstones,
lie the bodies of seven generations
of families whose members belonged
to the church. One of Cromwell's
famous 'Ironsides" is buried there.

TO MAKE TEST CASE

Determined to settle the question
whether the Government has author
ity to prohibit ducking and fishing
in the Chesapeake Bay, and trihu-
taries adjacent to tFa Aberdeen
Proving Ground, residents of Har-
ford county who have made
their livelihood from these waters,
are planning a test case, Robert H.
Archer, Assistant Attorney-G General
said, when he addressed a meeting
of the Havre de Grace Rotary Club
on Wednesday evening of last week
at Hotel Bayou.
Mr.. Archer stated that meeting
would be called to organize and plan
means for one of the sportsmen to
obtain permit from the clerk of
the Circuit Court for Hartford coun-
7y and proceed to erect ducking
blind in the disputed area despite
threats Of arrest which have been
made by Lieut.-Col. C. M. Wesson,
commanding officer of the reserva-
tion.
The controversy between the Gov
ernment and the State over rights
to fish and hunt in the disputed area
arose when Mr.. Archer notified the
clerks of the Circuit Courts for Bal
timore and Hartford counties that
they could issue permits to erect
ducking blinds without the sanction
of army officials.
He explained that the test case
could not be heard this year in time
to allow ducking during the coming
season. but that the question would
be settled before the next season.
The crowded condition of the dock
ct in Federal Court, it is said, pre-
vents an immediate hearing of the
test case.

BETTER FORESTRY
To Be Shown BY woodland Inn
provement Contests


Several forestry demonstrations,
where action will be substituted for
|ringside seats and where good judg-
ment in action will be rewarded
with useful and appropriate prizes,
are to be conducted in the county
later this fall, the county agent Mr..
Thomas H. Bartilson, announces.
Plans for short intensive forestry
improvement campaign have Just
been completed by the county agent
following recent visit Of state Ex-
tension Forester F. B. Trenk to MIR.
Bartilson's Office.
There are few activities about the
average farm during the winter
months, that gives more direct re-
turns and result in more lasting
benefits, than properly conducted
cuttings made in the farm woods.
Most farm woodlands are really in
need of some cutting, and if this
cutting is made along constructive
lines, the county agent points out,
tree growth will be stimulated and
the quality of the whole woodland
will be improved. Fully 6O% OF
the woodlands in Cecil County fall
within this class.
In order to get across the why
and the how" of forestry improve
ments most effectively, and to add
more immediate interest to the
work, all forestry demonstrations
this fall are to be conducted on the
basis of contests. In the woodlands
chosen for the demonstrations, two
score or more trees will be tagged
and numbered. The principles OF
forestry improvements cuttings will
be explained to the contestants, fol-
lowing which each one will be given
a scorecard, upon which he will de-
termine for each numbered tree
whether it should be taken, or left
for further growth. The Extension
Forester, Mr.. Trenk, who will con-
duct the contest, will prepare a sim
liar score card, and the cards of the
contestants, after a full discussion
of the merits of each tree tagged,
will be graded on the basis of Mr..
Trenk's card. The man with the
card having the least number of diff
ferences with the Extension Forest
er's card will be declared the win
ner, and will receive a new axe as
first prize. A second prize, consist
ing of new hatchet, is also to be
awarded at each contest.
Further announcements concern
ing these contests are to be made
shortly by the County Agent. Any
farmers interested in this work
should get in touch with his office
within the next week or two.

RISING SUN SCHOOL NEWS

The Parent Teachers Association
Meeting which was to be held on
TUESDAY. October 80, has been pos.
poned to Monday evening, Novem-
Ter Sch. We are sorry to make this
change, but due to the preparations
which have been made by the music
Department, we want to hold the
meeting ON an evening on which
there will be nothing to interfere
with the attendance of the friends
and patrons of the school. The pro-
gram will be furnished by the high
School Glee Club and will be well
worth attending. Don't forget the
time, Monday evening, November
5th, at the school building at 1880
o'clock.
A good crowd saw the games be-
tween Elkton and Rising Sun, on
Friday afternoon, on our own field.
In the girls field ball game Rising
Sun played a tie game, score Sc,
with the league leading Elkton
team. This was one of the most
thrilling games of any kind seen on
our field. Our soccer team went
down to defeat at the hands Of Elk
ton by score of SO. There is
good, clean rivalry among our high
schools, particularly SO, this year.
We feel that games of this kind
have "a tremendous social and moral
value if fair play is instilled in the
minds Of the pupils.
A professional faculty meeting
was held on Wednesday afternoon,
from to o'clock, by the High
School teachers. The subject OF the
discussion was our revised pupil re-
ports for this year. An article on
the question of these reports Will ap-
pear in this column, next week.
The biology department has been
studying large unit of study on
trees. Last week field trip was
taken by the class and many good
specimens were received for their
note books.
The Crowell Publishing Company
magazine campaign went across
splendidly this year. A total of 207
subscriptions were sold. The Ath-
letfc Association cleared heat
amount out of this campaign. We
wish to thank those who aided us in
this campaign.

HELD FOR SHOOTING AT DRY
AGENTS
Archibald Akers, Committed I'm De-
fault OF 500. 900 Bail

Archibald Akers, Committed In De.
fault OF $4,000 Bail
Archibald Akers, who owns q
property on what is. known as Goat
HILL" about two and one-half miles
north west of Rising Sun, has been
held in default of $4,000 bail by j.
Frank Supplee, United States Com
missioner, on charges Of shooting
at, with intent to kill, Frederal Pro-
hibition officers.
Akers also is charged with three
offences Of manufacture and posses
sion of liquor under the Volstead
act.
Federal officials said that it would
be possible, in event the man is
found guilty, for him to receive SEN
tences in excess of ten years in the
|Penitentiary. The extreme penalty
for shooting at a Federal officer, it
was explained, is, in itself, ten
years.
Akers was arrested by John NJ.
Spicer, E. Frank Ely and Irwin w.
Windsor, following raid upon a
distilling plant in a woods near Ris-
ing Sun, Cecil County, after battle
in which more than twenty shots
were fired. He showed evidence OF
having been badly beaten when
brought before the commissioner
for arraignment. His face and
head were bandaged by adhes4
tape. The agents explained that
they had to handle him roughly to
subdue him.
According to a report made by
Spicer, Akers and a companion
opened fire on the agents as soon as
they appeared at the still, one with
a rifle and the other with double
barreled shotgun. The agents re-
turned the fire and the men at the
still started to back away. When
Akers, who is believed to have had
the rifle, ran out of ammunition, he
threw his gun into thicket, Spicer
said, and fed. He was captured,
however, before he had gone far and
a fight ensued. His companion es-
capped. Spicer said that some of the
bullets fired by the retreating men
came close to the agents.
The agents destroyed 150-gal-
lon still and $500 gallons Of mash
and whisky, Spicer said. Two pre-
vious charges against Akers for al
