VALUE OF ACCURATE FARM
ACCOUNTS

Mrssrs. Chester Kimble, Port De-
post; Lawson Crothers, Zion; Deak-
in and Coleman, Greenhurst; F. B.

and sons, Principe; R. G. Mcdonald,
Rising Sun; Carroll Tyson, Hopewell;
Lloyd Balderston, Colora; Hobson
Brothers, Appleton; John E. Lippin
colt, Colora; John Reisler, and Nor
man Fell, Calvert, are cooperating
with the County Agent J. z. Miller
and Extension Economist, Paul Nys-
from, in demonstrating the value of
keeping accurate farm accounts.
This group of progressive farmers
is beginning the farm record keep
ing project in Cecil county in an or
ganized way. Similar groups of
farmers are being formed in all OF
the Maryland counties, and the Ex-
tension Economist and County
Agents will assist these farmers in
keeping accurate farm records.
At the end of the year these farm
records will be summarized and will
be of great value to the farmers in
Analysing their farm businesses and
to the county agent in making farm
management recomm endations.
1t has often been found that two
adjoining farms about equal in size
and equipment may differ greatly in
the income produced. One may be
consistently profitable, whereas the
other is not. Why is this so?
When accurate farm records are
kept, the weak points in the farm
management program can be more
readily found and corrected.

Church Groups Will Partic.
ipate In Bicentennial

At least IS, 1000 church congrega-
tons of all denominations are now
prepared to participate in the observ-
ance of George Washington's two
hundredth birthday anniversary.
Most of this number already have
Bicentennial committees. Others
are represented on civic and othe r
Bicentennial groups.
Many special features are being
prepared by the churches, accord
ing to advice reaching the United
States George Washington Bicenten-
NAL Commission from all parts of
the country, for the celebration. Let
tiers from ecclesiastics have indicated
considerable enthusiasm among re-
ligious groups.
1t will fall to the lot of the
churches of the nation to inaugurate,
at least unofficially, the Bicentennial
Celebration. The official opening of
the observance is scheduled for Feb
uary %, but on the Goth and 21st,
nearly every church in the country
will hold special services in honor
of George Washington. During the
22nd many important features of the
day will be conducted by the
churches. They will also cooperate
with other groups in various pro-
grams and ceremonies.
The programs prepared by the
churches include the presentation of
plays and pageants, the planting Of
George Washington memorial trees,
and social evenings and banquets
with special George Washingto n
features. Musicals are also being
planned during which the music of
George Washington's time will be
played and sung. In some cases
the stately and dlgnified dancing of
that period will be featured with
the dancers attired in Colonial
costumes.

VETERANS REACH
TUCSON ON WAY
TO WASHINGTON

TUCSON, Ariz., June IT. tU.P)-
The Southern California bonus
army" arrived here today after an
all-night march" from Phoenix.
Leaving Phoenix shortly after
midnight, the vanguard arrived
early today.
Other automobiles had left
Phoenix between midnight and day
break, and were struggling in dur
ing the day.
The men, and the few women
who accompanied them, were quar-
tered in a park on the edge of the
city. with a committee of ex-service
men from Tucson looking after
their needs.
With the exclusive use OF the
city park, the marchers were given
use of a municipal swimming pool,
a privilege the hot, dusty men were
not slow to accept.
Leaders said the expedition would
stay through the day, planning TO
leave on the next leg to Ell Paso at
daybreak tomorrow.
From outward indications, the
dissension that threatened yester-
day to split the army" into two
units had disappeared today.

Pete Yanes of Holtville picked the

highway last night, for Captain A.
F.. OSwalt of the California high
way patrol was pilot of the crowded
automobile.
Yanes picked the wrong auto
mobile twice, for just before send
ing Oswalt almost into the ditch,
according to the officers story,
Yanes also crowded G. Miller, for
merly of the sheriff's office, from
the road. This was on the San
Diego highway, four miles west of
Ell Centro.
Captain Oswalt gave chase and
stopped Yanes. He placed the Holt
vile man under arrest on a charge
of driving while drunk, and took
him to the county Jail, while Miller
drove Yanes' car to Ell Centro.
Coming before Judge I. Mayfield

FARMLAND HELD
AS SLAYER OF
WEALTHY WOMAN

FAIRFIELD, Calf, June II. U.P)
Armour James Pickrell, 38-year-
old farmland, was held prisoner in
a hospital today, charged with
Staying Mrs. Lois Sutherland, veal
thy daughter of California pioneers.
Robert Head. 81, son of Mrs.
returned to their Sui
sun valley ranch to find his moth
ers body in a pantry. She had
been shot in the head. Pickrell
was in another room. A bullet
had creased his skull. A rifle was
at his side.
Ed Uhl, neighbor, said a few
hours before Mrs. Sutherland was
shot she told him she feared Pick
rell and intended to discharge him.
Sheriff's deputies said the farm
hand obtained the rifle Tuesday
from his home at Vacaville, osten-
sibly to shoot squirrels.
Mrs. Sutherland was a grand
daughter of the late ]. M. Baldwin,
pioneer of the famous Comstock
Lode. She was a niece of former
Governor Alden Ander-.
son. Her family was not related
to that of E. j. Lucky" Baldwin,
who also established a fortune in
western mines.
Physicians said Pickerell would
recover from his slight wounds,
i Al 4
charge him with first degree mur-
der. He refused to talk about the
shooting, or to explain why he had
killed Mrs. Sutherland. When
found by Head, he was moaning:
why did she do it"
The special guard posted in the
hospital was instructed to watch
Pickrell closely to prevent another
at suicide.

SCORE OF

British Tanker Explodes
AT Docks In Montreal
With Heavy Loss.
MANY ARE INJURED
Narrowing S Genes Re-

BY GILBERT DRAPER
United Press Staff Correspondent

ACAhGC0 SteAA
MONTREAL, June IA series
of explosions on the British oil
tanker Cyrnbeline today killed up
wards of 20 men and caused prop
erty damage of more than a mil
lion dollars.
For several hours after the ex-
plosions fires burned white hot at
the Canadian Vickers dock, where
the Cymbeline had been tied up for
repairs. Rescue attempts seemed
futile and at mid-morning the cas-
ualties we're announced as:
Known dead, 81.
Injured, So.
Almost all of those reported miss
ing earlier have been accounted for,
officials said.
The explosions occurred before
dawn while the Cymbeline lay at
its dock, most of its crew of 80
asleep aboard. On the pier were
dozens of workers for the Canadian
Vickers company.
Suddenly there was a deep roar
from the center fuel tank of the
tanker. The conclusion was felt up
and down the waterfront. Fire spat
| up through the craft. Two other
explosions followed rapidly.
Members of the crew, their cloth
ing ripped from their bodies, ran
| screaming to the first point of res
cue they could find. Many of the
dock workmen are believed to have
leapcd into the water.
1T was the worst experience I
ever had" Leonard Rumble, engi-
neer of the tanker, told the United
Press. THE screams and howls
were terrible. can still hear them
ringing in my ears. I'll never. for
get it till my dying day.
Fire CHIEF Dead
Firemen from all parts of Mon
treal fought the oil fed flames. As
the debric swirled and smashed ON
the docks, they were caught. At
least three including Fire Director
! Raoul Gauthier, were killed.
II saw a Montreal fireman who
was playing a hose on the burning
ship struck in the back of the head
by a large piece of timber" Humble
said. HE fell face down, the hose
twisting and whirling on the ground
like a big snake.
I'VE rushed to his aid but be-
fore we could reach him his cloth
ing was afire. He was dead.
Signal flares aboard the vessel
were ignited. They shot up in hap
hazard and eerie display over the
| fire and ruin.
Many of the injured are in crit
ical condition and may die. Mem
bers of the crew, not needing hos
pital attention, were given make
shift attire and taken to the Sail
ors' Institute.
Meanwhile every fire station in
Montreal had flags at half staff
| because of Gauthier's death.
