COOPERATE TURKEY MARKET
Is Planned Over on Eastern Shore
For Benefit of Turkey RaiserS

There is hope of cooperative
marketing of Maryland turkeys
but not on the scale practiced in
Western States, 100 Eastern Shore
turkey growers, meeting at Ches-
tertown, Md, were told Thursday.
Gordon Sprague, expert from the
Bureau of Agriculture Economics
of the Department of Agriculture,
was the speaker. He compared
conditions here with those he
found in a turkey tour of nine
western states. Eastern Maryland
is too near the great marketing
centers of the east to secure
hearty cooperation as in the west,
he said. Efforts are being made
to organize an Eastern Shore CO.

AFTER DRUM FISH
Have Sport OFF kits Hammock
Landing Il Fiftv-twO Pound Fish

A drum fish 43 1-2 inches long
and weighing 50 pounds was
caught by Thomas Muncy Keith,
assistant city solicitor of Whining
ton, and Osborn Willis, Of Dover,
at kits Hammock the other day.
The fish was sighted some distance
from shore. Because of its size,
an attempt to catch the drum by
line or net was thought useless. 1t
was suggested that they shoot it.
One bullet from a revolver had no
effect, but when a shot gun was
used, the fish was wounded and
later caught in a net and taken to
shore.

Kentuckians Row
Over progress"

BY the Associated Press.

FRANKFORT, KY, August 19.-The
question of whether an automobile Ii
cense tag is the proper place for a
State to advertise in capital letters
that it is 'for progress will be decided
by the Kentucky courts, and the fol-
lowers of each of the two we'll defined
schools of thought on the subject con-
fidently expect to win.
For eight months-ever since the
1929 tags appeared with the words
Kentucky for Prograss" scrambled up
with the numbers on the rear-there
has been divided opinion. Some have
insisted that motorists who travel far
and wide are carrying an inspiring mes
sage to the world. Others have as
serted that Kentucky motorists are
made a laughing stock and are en-
barrassed In other States with questions
put in an unkind spirit.
Everybody was waiting to see what
would be done in 1880, and the ar
nouncement came that Kentucky fer
Progress would remain in the tags.
Thereupon the Louisville Automobile
Club filed suit for an injunction to pre-
vent contract for such tags. The al
legations in the suit were that the let
tering interferes with identification;
that 1t makes the tags more expensive
without serving any good purpose, there
by depriving motorists of their prop
erty without return or due process of
law, and that the extra words are not
provided for by the statute. The case

Kings Cross. badly damaged, picked up

The Ogcno was struck amidships and

two others struggling in the water.
The drowned included the ships cap

of Second Mate Ugalda. The survivors
were landed by the Kings Cross at
Grimsby. The bow of the Kings Cross
was badly damaged.
Second Mate Ugalda said he was on
the bridge with Capt. Sandina at am,
when he saw the lights of a ship ap-
preaching and heard short blasts from
the siren.
Almost Immediately the collision &C.
CURED, the Ogono takinf big list and

He went, with others, to try to launch
the starboard lifeboat, but dived over
board when he realized the effort was
hopeless. He and others gathered about
one OF the Ogono's upturned lifeboats
and chung to it until rescued.
II saw the captain diving into the
sea, but that was the last I saw or
heard of him." said the mate. 1.-The
scene was terrible. Men were shouting
and screaming, and I shouted to them
until became almost too hoarse to
whisper.
Il and four more of our crew chung
for about an hour to the upturned keel
OF one Of our boats before the Kings
Cross rescued us. I saw the chief en-
gineer and the chief mate clinging to
piece of wood. They drifted away
and were lost. Steward Juan Lands
had. wonderful escape. A wave car
ried him to the mast. When he was
picked up about two hours later only a
foot or two of the mast was showing
above the water.
Our limbs were absolutely frozen
and we were terribly exhausted when

Capt. G. Anderson of the Kings

possible to avoid collision.
THE Spanish ship must have sunk

Capt. Anderson said his boat cruised
for two hours after the last man was
picked up without finding further sign
of life.
The Ogono was bound to Middles-

Electric ws1d;ng giives simplicity
and strength
This very important and increasingly valu-
able tool Of modern manufacturing makes it
possible to use one-piece units instead Of

resulting gain in strength and simplicity.
Electric welding also permits the use Of
steel forgings instead Of castings or stamp

increased cost.

The two statements considered to-

elaborate his view that the United
States made victory possible and that,
specifically, his decision for q separate
American Army-rather than to incor-
porate American troops as recruits In
the English and French Armies-gave
the impulse to victory.

front; but it is also recorded that after
the first real clash with the Americans
the word flashed for 500 miles up and
