Always use best oil

When you consider how much
you paid for your sewing machine,
vacuum cleaner, lawn mower,
washer. and other expensive de-
vices. don't you think its foolish
to try TO economic on oil? The
very best costs only a few cents
a year-and is really cheapest in
the long run.

mineral. vegetable and animal oils,
is made especially for fabrication
Of household devices. 1t cleans and

in-One costs more to make than or
binary oil but it costs less to use.
If you knew what expert mechanics
know about oil. you'd never use

There has long been a legend
to the effect that the circus folk
are delighted at the opportunity OF
displaying their wares before a
metropolitan audience in a setting
as elaborate as Madison Square
Garden.
The fact is, that the people OF
the white-top world don't like to
play New York: they can't wait
to get on the road. There are
several reasons for this. First OF
all, the performers must pay their
own expenses up TO the time when
the show ACTUALLY gets ION the

'on their own" during a Manhattan
engagement.

county, raided and seized two
large moonshine plants on
Wednesday afternoon last, one

The Captain OF Plymouth

A we'll filled house greeted

High School operetta on Tues
day evening, in the public hall.
"The Captain of Plymouth"
was the title of the production,
and the cast of fifty-four High
School pupils, under direction
of Frederick Farmer, instruc-
tor in music at the school, with
Mrs. John Wilson at the piano,
presented the difficult musical
comedy in a manner that won
them applause and praise from
the audience, and reflected very
great credit upon Mr.. Farmer
and those who assisted him in
the training, which was no
small task.
The production was nicely
costumed, in the period it was
supposed to represent, and the
stage settings were also effec-
tive.
The choruses were especially
well rendered, and in fact every
member of the cast did so we'll
as to deserve unstinted praise.
The receipts from the sale of
tickets amounted to about SIS.

DAMAGED BY FIRE
Two Men Suffer Burns Fight
ing Blaze

The store and dwelling prop
erty at New Bridge, about four
miles from Rising Sun, owned
by Mrs. Emily B. Coulson and
occupied by Herbert Reynolds
and family, was badly damaged
by fire on Sunday morning.
The Community Fire Co., of
this town, responded to the
alarm, about eleven o'clock.
The engine was stationed on
the bridge, and pumping from
the Octoraro creek the firemen
soon had two streams of water
playing on the building, a two
story frame structure. The
blaze was gotten under control
in short order, but building was
badly damaged by both fire and
water.
Herbert Reynolds and Ralph
Lynch were badly burned about
the face, head and arms in
fighting the blaze before the
arrival of the firemen and were
taken to the hospital for treat
ment. Most of the household
goods were carried out in safe
ty.. Also a large number of
kegs and jars which did not
contain preserves, and could
not be classed as household
goods. These kegs were soon
spirited away.
The fire is said to have orig
mated from an oil heater. 1t is
alleged, by those who were
fighting the fire, that an upper
room had been fitted up as an
aging" plant, for a certain
kind of wet goods, and that the
fire originated in this room.

COURT CASES
Juries Award Verdicts In Two
Interesting Suits

The jury in the suit of James
A. Canaan, of Cecilton, against
James A. Rowland, for repairs
to pumps on the Rowland
farms in Cecil and Kent coun-
ties, the period of 1919 to 1925,
removed from Cecil Circuit
Court to the Circuit Court at
Centreville for trial, returned a
verdict for $415.35 for the
plaintiff.
A jury also found a verdict
in favor of Mrs. Scott Green, of
Elkton, against the Industrial
Accident Insurance Commits
sion of Maryland. In June of
last year, John Scott Green, of
Elkton, while employed at the
Victory Sparkler and Speciality
Company's plant near that
town, fell from a truck and
died almost instantly. Mrs.
Green claimed that her hus-
band died from a broken neck
due to the accident, but the In
dustrial Accident Insurance
Commission refused to allow
her claim on the ground that
Mr.. Green may have suffered
a heart attack which caused
his death. The Accident Com
mission will now be compelled
to fix compensation for Mrs.
Green.
