local track and was included in the
list of aces scheduled to drive at the
fair on Saturday. 1t is a strange
coincidence that for the past three
years three well known auto racers
have been killed on other tracks
just few days before the scheduled
events at Harrington. Last year it
was Ray Reach. -
The biggest job confronting those
in charge of the exhibits was the
placing of awards. This work start
ed Tuesday in charge of judges we'll
| able to make the awards.
Horse racing enthusiasts have en-
joyed excellent racing each day, and
large crowds have been present.
The midway this year is larger
than ever, and as this feature of the
fair is open at night it is proving
real entertaining part of the affair.
Fireworks each evening draws
! thousands to the fair grounds.
After the cooling rain which fell
late Tuesday night, the wind shifted
to the north and the visitors at the
fair enjoyed one of the best days of
the year on the grounds Wednesday.
Fifteen members of the State
Highway police are on duty daily,
they are in charge of Captain Ray,
Lieut.. Raymond Ingram, Sergeants
Knox, Purnell and Powell. The pri-
Yates on the force are, Ritter and
GrOtz, Station No. 1; Hession and
Barnes, Station No. g. BonificinO and
King, Station No. 8; Wood, Station
No. 4 Holt, O'Neal and Shockley
from Station No. at Bridgeville.
Extra men were added to the force
Thursday and on Saturday. Thus
far no arrests have been made and
no trouble has been reported.
Under the direction of Assistant
Engineer Emory, the small chemical
truck of the Harrington Fire De-
partment is stationed at the grounds
daily.
The booths beneath the grand
stand allotted to exhibitors are very
attractive. Probably the most elab-
crate one is the Eastern Shore Pub
lie Service Co. They occupy five
sections with a complete layout of
electrical appliances for the home.
The exhibits of the CrOssley radio,
w. H. Cahall and Son, are also at
tractive. The booth by the State
Board of Health is particularly in
teresting, representing modern /
dairy farm. Barn is lighted with |
modern stalls for cattle,
plenty of ventilation, home nearby
contains all the latest improvements.
measures are used in bot
tling baby's milk. A herd of thor
oughbred cattle are seen grazing in
a nearby pasture. The State For
estry Booth is very attractive, much
time and money was spent to COM
plete this display. Several other ex-
hibitors have good displays but their
booths are not so attractive because
they are not decorated.

SQUIRREL HUNTING SEASONS
OPENS NOW IN 80 STATES

Hunting seasons on quirrels are
open now in a few states, and will
continue to open in other states un-
til the latter part of November, ac-
cording to the American Game Pro-
tective Association. There will be
open seasons in 80 states this year.
Because of the great variance in
not only the opening and closing of
seasons, but also in the varieties of
squirrel that may be legally hunted
Carlos Avery, president of the asso-
citation, urges all to familiarize them
selves with state and county game
laws. He further urges that in the
interest of conservation of wild life
that everyone stay well within the
prescribed bag limits.
eve must leave the capital stock
and part of the increase in order to
restore wild life to it's former abund-
ance," Mr.. Avery said. There were
100000 hunting licenses issued last
year, large increase over the pre-
vious year, and in all likelihood
there will be an even bigger in
crease of hunters taking the field
this season, so it is imperative that
we save not only our capital stock
of wild life but an appreciable part
Of the increase as well to meet the
ever increasing demand upon it,"

MILFORD WINS
FIFTH VICTORY
Harrington Started Off
Strong But Weakened
Toward The Finish

Milford made it five wins in the
last six games Saturday by defeat
ing Harrington 10 to 5.
Harrington started off strong
when Legates tripled and Hall sing
led, but a fast double play, Magee to
Grier to HOyt held the rally to one
run. They scored another run in the
third. In this inning Milford took the
covers off their bats. Grier's triple,
Vinyard's single and Lynch's homer
netted three runs.
In the fourth, Magee singled with
two out and Hummel reached first
on an error. Grier doubled to left
center, scoring Magee. Both runners
advanced on a wild pitch and then
Grier stole home for the third run.
Harrington scored three in the
fifth on Ryans triple to the corner
in center, a base on balls, Willey's
error, and Lords single. Another
fast double play stopped this rally.
Milford hiked their lead to three
runs in the fifth on singles by Dra-
per, Lynch and HOyt.
Hummel shut down and allowed
Harrington only one hit for the rest
of the game. Milford scored their
final two runs in the eighth on a
double by Hummel and singles by
Grier and Lynch.
This is the fastest base ball Mil
ford has had since the old Eastern
Shore League in 1928 and brings
back memories of the time when
Milford was a great base ball town.

THE NEW BUSINESS
OF KEEPING COOL

In midsummer the White House
in Washington used to be one OF
the very hottest places along the
Potomac River basin. But it has eX-
perienced a startling change. Today
it is very pleasant-thOrOughly de-
lightful, in fact-as BELTS the high
pressure activity that goes on with
in those walls. How has this trans
formation been effected" you may
ask. By cooled and conditioned air
manufactured weather." insulat-
ing of roof and protection of walls
helped by CelOteX materials. That is
Just single illustration of the highs
ly significant advance of a vigorous
ly progressive American industry
and business.
Doctor julius Klein, Assistant
Secretary of United States Com
merce, says: 81 believe it was Mark
Twain who once remarked that 'ev-
erybody is always talking about the
weather-but nobody ever does any
thing about it, That observation
still holds true for the hot or cold
conditions of the great outdoors" he
adds, and says: 81 read just the
other day about a slightly implaus-
ible project to lower the tempera-
ture of certain African colonies
through the medium of titanic cleo
trical cOntrivances.
"In the modifying and controlling
of our indoor weather. it was al
ways a one-way proposition in the
past" observes the Commerce man.

seasons, but when the torrid days
arrived we had to resign ourselves
to being hot and bothered We had
to take it and like it. We could
simply mop our fevered brows-

on) fans-and try diligently to cul-
tivate a philosophic calm.
But within the past few years,
as all of you are well aware, engi-

INTELLIGENT CARE NECESSARY

Intelligent care and consideration
are necessary if the maximum eff
cheney is expected from the family
ice refrigerator, according to DR..
Martha Manning, home refrigeration
expert.
Cleanliness is of primary i'm
portance." DR.. Manning asserts.
"The principal aim of refrigeration
is to check the growth of bacteria
in food, and cleanliness, as well as
low temperature, aids in accom-
plishing this end. At least once a
week the ice box should be emptied
of all food and the shelves remov-
ed and washed and dried. The walls
should be cleaned with a warm So
luton of baking soda and water and
wiped dry. This weekly treatment,
with a few simple daily precautions,
insures a sweet, clean refrigerator
at all times.
rinse and wipe dry the outside
of all milk and cream bottles.
"Be sure that containers in which
food is kept are free from grease or
other food particles sticking to the
outsides.
Don't fill dishes so full that
slight jars will make them run over
the top and spill their contents.
Economy in operation is a sec
ond consideration. Keeping the ice
compartment well filled with ice at
all times costs less than to let all
ice melt before reflling. By the
former method the interior of the
box is always cool, which melts
less ice, as we'll as assuring better
refrigeration. The most expensive
materials and expert workmanship
are of little efficiency if the doors of
the refrigerator are carelessly left
ajar.
Don't keep the doors open while
planning meal. Decide what is
wanted before opening the refrig-
orator, take out what is wanted
quickly and close the doors imme-
diately.
always cool food before putting
it away in refrigerator. Warm
dishes will quickly raise the ice
box temperature"

FARM NEWS

. An intertilled crop following clio
yer or alfalfa is a good thing in crop
rotation, but it is a mistake to grow
two or more intertilled crops and
several small-grain crops in success
sion on the same land. Two small
grain crops of the same kind or two
intertilled crops are the maximum
number of non-leguminous crops
that should be grown in succession
Sowing winter wheat on the latest
safe date in the fall helps to prevent
injury from the scab diseases, which
reduces the yields and lowers the
quality of much wheat in the Central
States and eastward. The seed
should be thoroughly clean, graded,
and treated. The scab fungus also
attacks corn, and in regions where
scab flourishes wheat should not be
sown after corn unless the stalks
are removed and the stubble plowed
completely under.
In the summer, high-prOduc1ng
dairy COWS need grain to supplement
the pasture. Cows giving more than
20 pounds of milk a day should have,
in addition to good pasture. l pound
of grain to each 4 to pounds of
milk produced. The grain mixture,
which may be corn, oats, wheat bran
or barley, should be ground. For
cows producing more than 80
pounds of milk, there should be at
least one high-protein concentrate,
linseed-oil meal or cottOnseed meal,
in the grain ration.
The U. S. Department of Agricul-
ture several years ago experimental
with commercial fertilizers to dis
gcoVer a substance that will kill fly
larvae in manure and also increase
it's fertilizing value. One-half pound
each of calcium cyanamid and acid
phosphate added to each bushel of
manure gave a SO per cent kill of
the larvae. The mixture, in powder
form, is scattered evenly over the
surface and then wet down with wa
ter. This mixture adds to the man
ure two important elements, nitro
gen and phosphorus.
Disposal of proper stacking of
straw is a very important step in
controlling the stable fly, one of the
worst pests of livestock throughout |
the country. Straw stacks are the |
principal breeding places of this
pest, especially in the grain belt.
Straw to be kept for bedding or food
should be very carefully stacked.
Make the sides of the stack nearly
vertical and round the top we'll to
shed rain. After the straw is stack
ed, clean up loose straw or chaff and
burn it. Straw not needed in the
winter should be disposed of imme-
diately after threshing. Plow it un-
der or burn it. Surplus straw should
be disposed of in nearly spring or it
will furnish flies continually in
spring and summer.
