NOTED CASTLE
NOW RESTAURANT
Mansion Once a FavOrite With
Prussian Kings a Week
End Hotel
HISTORY IS RECALLED

Potsdam.-One of Prussia's finest
mansions, Castle Marquardt, near
Potsdam, is the latest victim of the
economic crisis. In its heyday ii
was the favorite sojourn of Prus-
sian kings, haunted by a ghost
which historians now believe to
have been a faxed Cne. Castle Mar
quardt will be turned into a restau-
rant and weekend hotel because its
present owner, a German Industrial
ist, cannot afford its upkeep.
Castle Marquardt's history goes
back to the Fifteenth century, when
it was owned by the Baron label
Won Schorin. In the following cen
turies it frequently changed hands.
In 1895 Castle Marquardt came
into the possession Of its most ia
nous owner, Gen. Won Bischofswer-
der, the declared favorite of King
Frederick William II of Prussia. 1t
was then that the ghost made its
first appearance-a ghost which
was TO play a prominent role in
Prussian history.
The Ghost Shows Up.
The ghostly apparition was first
seen, or rather heard, in small
stone building, the so-called Blue
grotto. adjoining Castle Marquardt.
Hidden away among thick shrubbery
in the beautiful Eighteenth century
park, the interior was laid out with
azure stones. The grotto received
its only light from a costly crystal
chandelier, which, together with the
blue of the azure stones, produced
mystic and beautiful color effects.
1t was into this setting that Gen.
Won Bischofswerder used to lead the
rOmantically inclined Prussian king
to attend ghOstly midnight sessions.
AS soon as the king entered the
grotto mysterious off-stage music
could be heard apparently coming
from nowhere. When the ghOstly
tunes had subsided, the king would
invariably address the ghost, asking
him how best to rule the country.
As if by magic, an invisible voice
would answer in muffled whispers.
More often than not the king would
follow the apparently heaven sent
counsel.
1t was not long after the gener-
ais death that Castle Marquardt's
oh 2
found that the Blue grotto, scene
of the ghostly sessions, had double
walls behind which a man of flesh
and blood could comfortably hide,
play a harp and answer any ques
tiens put to him. Thus, with the
aid Of a co-plotter, the crafty gen.
eral for a while ruled the destinies
Of Prussia.
Bought by Frenchman.
After changing hands several
times, Castle Marquardt was finally
bought by DR.. Peter Louis Ravene,
descendant of an old French Prot
estant family which fed to Ger
many in the days Of the wars Of re-
ligion and received the special pro-
lection Of the Prussian king. The |
present-day Ravene is leading in
dustrialist. Hard times are forcing
him now to let the historic mansion
to a British wine merchant, who is
turning it into a restaurant for Ber-
Inns week-enderS.
Another German palace, that of |
Count Hermann Griebenow in Ber-
lin, has closed its gates and the
luxurious building in rocco style
will be sold at auction. In prewar
days Count Griebenow. with a year
ly income of S250OOO, was one of
the richest men in Germany. War
imitation. and the crisis ate away
the Griebenow fortune.

REPORT OF STATE
FARM EGG RECORD
During Month Of April Aver
age Production for Pullets
17.6 Eggs; Hens, 15.4
REPORT FROM 1873 FARMS

The average egg production rec
ords of 17,645 pullets, 1919 hens
and 12,131 pullets and hens run
ming together as mixed flocks were
included in the April report of the
Delaware farm egg record club
which has been prepared by H. S.
Palmer, extension poultryman of
the University of Delaware, and
distributed from the county exten-
sion offices to those poultrymen in
the state who are keeping the daily
egg production of their flocks. Dur
ing the month of April the average
production per pullet was 17.6
eggs, and that of the hens was 15.4
eggs, as compared to 15.9 eggs per
bird in the fiocks of both hens and
pullets. The production for April
of last year was III eggs per pull
let, 15.5 eggs per hen, and III
eggs each for the birds in the mix
ed fiocks. In addition to the sta
tistics relative to the egg produc-
tion from the 133 farms through
out the state represented in these
records, this report also included a
discussion by H. r. Baker, poultry
pathologist of the State Board of
Agriculture, in regard to the symp-
toms, prevention and treatment of
coccidiosis which is a common di-
sease among chicks and one that
causes poultrymen much concern.
According to Mr.. Baker, the first
sign of coccidiosis in a flock of
chickens is droopiness of a few of
the chicks, and they will stand
around close to the hover with
wings droopy, head drawn in and
their eyes closed. In most cases
there is a slight bloody diarrhea,
and death occurs within two or
three days. AS a treatment for
this disease, good results have been
obtained by feeding for one day a
mash composed of 40 pounds of
dried milk, 20 pounds of wheat
bran and 40 pounds Of growing
mash, and following this treatment
the chicks should be fed a mash
consisting Of 10 pounds Of dried
milk with 80 pounds of growing
mash for one week. While the
chicks are being flushed, and for
day or two afterward, the tenn
perature in the brooder house
should be kept to 10 degrees
above normal, and following this
treatment the litter should be
changed and the house thoroughly
cleaned in order to prevent a rein
fection of this disease in other
chicks. Supplementing this prac-
tice ounces Of powdered crude
catechu and ounces of powdered
zinc sulphate should be placed in
the drinking water at the rate of
one level teaspoonful to each gal
lon the next day after the milk
flush and continued for one week.
Where automatic fountains are
used and it is inconvenient to put
this medicine in the drinking wat
er, it can be given to the birds in
their feed by mixing 10 ounces of
the powdered catechu and 6 ounces
of the zinc sulphate with each 100 !
pounds Of mash.

Rev. 3. G. Parker, who has been

SIX years and over has resigned.
He will leave here for his new field
of labor at Reading, Pa, in a few
weeks. As yet the church has
made no call.
The manufacturing of peach bas-
kets at the factory Of Hazel &
Pennewill, still continues and in
stead of the demands falling off
they are constantly on the in
crease. Their orders are so heavy
that they have been compelled to
employ more workmen. This looks
as if we were going to have peach
es.
Mr.. Rutter, who has been fore
man in the canning establishment
of Richardson & Robbins for sever
al years has resigned his position
and Mr.. Samuel Barker has been
promoted to fill the vacancy. Mr..
Rutter we understand, will return

POLICE SEEKING
SOLUTION OF
AKYAMA DEATH

Investigators today were moving
slowly toward a possible solution
of the Staying of Harry Akyama,
also known as Harry Aky Anna.
whose body was found in a canal
west of Westmorland early this
week.
The mans identity had been
positively established, and his asso-
ciates are known to officers. No
theory was advanced as to the
killing, however, since the Korean
seemed to have few bitter enemies.
Akyama, whose body was mutt
lated by nine knife wounds, was
last seen last Friday night as he
left gambling house at Westmor-
land. He acted as a decoy at var
ious gambling parties, officers
learned.
Akyama was well known at West
morland and Brawley. No identi-
fication was made after the body
was taken from the canal because
the mans features had been al
most obliterated during the time
the body was in the canal.
A voters registration slip, found
in his pocket, gave his name. His
address on the slip was a Los An
geleS hotel. The Korean travelled
about considerably, officers said.

Splendid Address
At Elks Program
By Stilgenbaul

Making an appealing plea for a
return to the old-fashioned brand
of patriotism, and deploring the
lethargy of citizens which has per-
mitted the racketeer, the gangster
and the bootlegger to gain practical
control of the nation, Roy Stilgen-
baur of BraWley gave an inspiring
address on "AmericaniSm" at the
Elks flag day exercises held last
night on the ball field at Wilson
school.
Preceding the exercises at the
ball field a patriotic parade in
Guiding Elks, members of veterans
organizations, Boy Scouts, delega-
tions from other fraternal orders
and just plain citizens, marched in
parade through the business dis
trict to the ball field, headed by
Boyce Aten Post drum and bugle
corps, with the Ell Centro munich
pal band also playing patriotic airs
There was a splendid attendance
at the ball field and those who
heard Stilgenbaur's address coulC
not help but be impressed by it
In straightforward fashion he
touched on the evils which arise
from a lack of patriotism and on
the need for good citizens every
where holding together in support
of the ideals under which this
government was created.
He cited love and respect for the
flag as highly essential to good
patriotism and denounced the
tendency of modern times to scott
at historical traditions and to pay
as little attention as possible to
the duties of citizenship, while at
the same time the demand for its
privileges is never quieted.
History of the Flag" was given
by Capt. w. N. Cunningham with
the response being made by Nor
man c. Deaton.
The impressive and symbolic flag
ritual of the Elks was carried out
by the officers of the Elks lodge
under the leadership of Lee Nuffer,
exalted ruler.
Stilgenbaur'S speech followed and
the exercises concluded by the
assemblage singing America"

Mr.. and Mrs. Roy Farrar was
slightly hurt when struck by an
automobile driven by George l..

ran from behind a parked automo-
bile. He swerved to the curb in an
effort to avoid the accident, but
was unable to do so.
Another accident was at the
river crossing west of Brawley
Eddie Nakao told officers he
started to pass a Miller 81 Cum
mings truck when the truck pulled
out to pass another car. The truck
struck Nakao's front fender. No
one was injured.

THREE SLIGHTLY
HURT IN SERIES
OF CAR CRASHES

Two men we're injured and a
child slightly hurt in automobile
accidents reported to the sheriff's
office last night from BraWley and
El Centro.
The most serious of these acct
dents was a mile south of Brawley
on the Los Angeles highway.
Thomas Foley of Long Beach and
A. D. Harland, road foreman in the
north end, were hurt when Foley,
becoming confused as two cars
started to pass on a turn, swerved
his car across the road, directly
into the path of the county car
driven by Harland.
Both cars were badly damaged.
Ed Elliott, a witness to the acci-
dent, took the drivers to the Braw-
ley hospital, where they were re-
ceiving treatment today. Neither
was seriously injured, hospital at
tendants said.

VETERANS ARMY
LEAVES CITY ON
ROUTE TO EAST

PHOENIX, Ariz., June 15 U.P)-
The advance guard of the South
ern California bonus army" ar
rived, tired ana dusty, today, after
an all-night pilgrimage across the
desert from Yuma.
About 400 strong, they went i'm
mediately to the state fair grounds,
where their comrades, some 1900
more, will join them during the
day.
They breakfas.ed from great
vatS Of Mulligan stew prepared at
the state farm, arrangements for
which had been made by various
veterans organizations.
The marchers expected to rest
here during the day before taking
up the trek across the desert to-
night.
Leaving behind them an impress
sion of orderliness surprising in a
body of men so large, CALIFORNIA; S
bonus army had evacuated Ell Gen.
tro today, except for a rear guard
which remained to await tranSpor-
tation to Yuma and Phoenix.
Because transportation was not
sufficient to care for all members
of the army, a small group awaited
at the city park today the return
of trucks from Yuma to carry them
and a large pile of bedding, tents
and other equipment on the third
leg of the journey to Washington.
The advance guard and shock
troops of the bonus army left late
yesterday afternoon, while strag-
glers in decrepit automobiles and
trucks made their way out of Ell
Centro throughout the night. Their
next stop was to be at Phoenix,
where Gov. George w. P. Hunt
has made arrangements to care
/ for more than 1000 men.
During their stay here the vet
Grams presented a vaudeville skit
at the city park which packed the
! spacious grounds to oVerflowing.
Trouble for the aged automobiles
and failing trucks of the veterans
was predicted on their long desert
march through Arizona and New
Mexico, where they will encounter
many miles of arid land unrelieved
even by service stations or water
ing places
When this part of their journey
is done, however, they should find
easy going to Washington, where
they join other bonus marchers in
demanding immediate payment OF
! the soldiers bonus.

Lions Hear Talk
By Oil Expert

Modern advances in gasoline as
a motor fuel were told members
of the Ell Centro Lions club yestel<
day noon by Carl Abel of Los An
geles, whose services as a speaker
had been obtained by Melvin King,
chairman of the meeting.
Abel discussed high compression
research in relation to motor con-
Struction. and the effect of this re-
search on both gasoline and motors.
The first high compression re-
search was started in 1912, he said,
but it was not until last year an
automobile came out with a high
compression motor.
After the meeting members of the
Lions club saw a practical demon
stration of high compression gaso-
line, in comparison to other gas
olines, in a motor furnished by the
speaker.
Margaret Lanier entertained
members Of the club during their
luncheon meeting with piano SCI
lections. Guests were Roy Womack,
j. B. McNeece and Roy Davis.

NEW YORK, June Is. W.H -
Stocks, bonds and commodities ad-
vanced on the New York stock eX-
change today. Profit taking broke
out in the stock market late in
the day, but various issues were
able to maintain part of their
early advances.
Wheat gave a demonstration Of
strength, closing with net gains Of
IL to ~ cents a bushel, not far
from the tops of the day. The bull
market in sugar entered its
eleventh day with increased trad
ing and strong prices. Cotton fu-
lures worked higher on the un-
favorable weather report. Bonds
and bank stocks joined the ad-
vance, the former featured by
strength in United States govern
ment bonds. The dollar continued
to advance in foreign trading.
Strength in the dollar was the
key to the improvement in senti-
ment. It followed indications in
the financial district that the heavy
gold drain which had depressed the
dollar since September 81, when the
Bank of England abandoned gold
J payments, had come to an end with
ear-marking of $50,000,000 addi-
tional gold for France.
