ONTARIO DENIES FOOD
TO RELIEF MARCHERS
Bennett Says Government Will
"Not Be Embarrassed at
Our Own Expense"

Our Own Expense"
BY the Associated Press.
OTTAWA, August 10.-Prime Min
lister Bennett refused today to provide
food or shelter for the Ontario relief
marchers and was in turn assailed by
q member of the delegation that
called upon him.
The prime minister charged that
the march was organized to embarrass
the government, and added: I'VE
don't propose to be embarrassed at our
own expense"
Roger Poirer of Montreal told Ben
nett he had been shot at and missed
by police at Regina and at another
point called the prime minister q
"liar.''
The marchers then said they were
not ready to discuss their seven-point
program and that the only request
they had to make was for food and
shelter. This was refused.

DINNER BELL SUMMONS
GUESTS TO THE MEALS

For the first time in more than a
half century guests at the Washington
Hotel, Princess Anne, are being called
to the hotel dining room by the orr
ginal dinner bell, w. H. Roach the
proprietor, inaugurated this new SER
vice about ten days ago.
The bell, which can be heard all
over the city, sends out it's appeal
twice daily, except Sunday, at IL
o'clock noon and 6 P. M.
The old dinner bell has been a fix
ture in the Washington Hotel for
many years beyond the memory of the
oldest residents of the city. Some
time during the period from 1876 to
1897, Mr.. Charles H. Rider then owner
of the hotel, moved the bell to the back
porch so that those in the Court House
might hear it's peal and adjourn court
in order that they might get warm
dinner.
Later it was returned to the wall
of the north side of the hotel dinirhy
room where it has since remained.
During the ownership of William P.
Rider, the practice of ringing the bell
was stopped altogether and a small
hand bell was used to summon the
hotel guests to their meals.
During the period covered by the
ownership of William J. Leonard,
1897 to 1904; Prelate Barker, 1904 to
1908; and J. D. Wallop, 1908 to 1885,
the bell remained silent and was not
used again until Mr.. Roach, the pres
ent proprietor, recently put it back
to v0rk

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
HARBORTON FERRY WILL
LIKELY BE RESUMED

There is a likelihood that the Chel-
sea will resume ferry service between
Harborton and Deltaville by the last
of the summer or early fall. The
Chelsea has returned from Norfolk,
where she was taken to have her bot
tom scraped and otherwise put in
condition. Officials are not giving
any time for the resuming of the ser
vice but it is generally thought that
it will be resumed.
Chairman H. G. Shirley, of the
Highway Commission, is reported to
have been on the Shore recently, and
that the object of his visit was to
investigate the possibilities of MAX
ing this ferry a connecting link in
the State Highway System.
The ferry enjoyed good patron
age during the time it was in opera
ton last year, and it is generally re-
GREETED in this section of the Eastern
Shore that it has not been operating
this year. A letter was received at
the Enterprise office this week from a
Richmond business man saying that
great many Richmond people wanted
to attend the Chincoteague pony pen
ming. but did not do so because of the
inaccessibility of the Shore.
The Harborton-Del ferry has
not been running since the Chelsea
ran aground near Deltaville in snow
storm last December. Since that time
the Federal Government has made ar
rangements to deepen Jackson's Creek
near Deltaville.

BUS LINE DISCONTINUED
CRISFIELD TO DELMAR

The Crisfield- Salisbury-D bus
line, operated by the Pennsylvania
Railroad, will be discontinued August
1st., permission to that effect having
been given Tuesday by the Public
Service Commission of Maryland af-
ter no protestants appeared at a
scheduled hearing.
The State regulatory body, however,
granted the permission with the UNI
derstanding that there would be no
disruption of the mail service.
A protest had been lodged by the
Salisbury Chamber of Commerce
against the proposed change but, af-
ter a conference with railroad Off
Gals, at which the travel on the line
was shown to be extremely light and
heavy losses were being taken each
month by the railroad in operating
the line, and also promise that Gas
good if not better mail service "would
be provided without any interruption
the protest was on Monday withdrawn.
A Crisfield representative also met
with the local Chamber and asserted
that that towns principal interest
was not impairing the mail service.
The P. R. r. is expected to give up its
mail contract on the route and the
Postoffice Department establish
"star route"
One northbound bus in the merning
now connects with the train at Delmar
as does a southbound bus the even
ing train. Bus lines already parallel
the service between Salisbury and
northern points.
Since discontinuance of the trains
affected, between Delmar and Girls
field, sometime ago the railroad con-
tracted with the Red Star Lines, Inc,
to substitute bus service.

FERRY CORPORATION TO
BUILD LARGE VESSEL

The Virginia Ferry Corporation
operating ferries between Little Creek
and Cape Charles, is planning the con-
struction of another combination truck
and passenger ferry for this service.
The new ferry is expected to be
ready for service next year and while
no estimate of it's possible cost is
available it is expected to run in the
neighborhood of 100000. Bids are to
be taken for the construction within
the next few weeks.
Business on the Little Creek Cape
Charles line has grown to such an ex-
tent that new facilities are necessary,
anticipating a continuation of the
growth. The Delmarva, now in opera
ton as a passenger and truck ferry
and one of the finest of it's kind in
service on this coast, is supplemented
this summer by ferry which carries
only trucks. Both ferries at times
this summer have have been taxed
almost to capacity.
The proposed new ferry will be
along the lines of the Delmarva, with
similar modern accommodations.
Whether or not this will mean increas-
ing the ferry schedule has not been
determined.
The traffic between Cape Charles
and Little Greek this summer has been
particularly heavy and the construc-
ton of a new ferry is regarded as
logical procedure in keeping the equip
ment up to standard that will meet
the traffic requirements.
Complete information as to the ac-
tual taking of bids for the construc-
ton of the new ferry was not avail
able, although it is known that com
plete plans for the vessel have been
prepared and that the company ex-
poets to push the construction as rap
idly as possible.

METEORS VISITING PARTS
OF EASTERN SHORE

Several very brilliant meteors or
falling stars have been noticed by
county residents within the past few
weeks. One seen last Monday night
in the northern part of the county
was unusually bright, and another
that left a vivid trail of fire and
smoke is reported to have exploded
over Crisfield recently. Other heav-
emily lights, however, have been OBJ

crop as a result.


His department has set out num-
erous traps for the pests and at Clay
ton alone 100000 have been caught to
date, whereas for all of last season
only $1,000 were trapped at that
place. They are especially numerous
around st. Georges where other traps
have been set. They also have been
located at Smyrna, Middletown and
Dover and the number captured is far
in excess of last years total.
The rainy weather has been respon-
sible for many of the beetles, Mr..
Cranston said. When the ground is
wet and soft the grubs have no
trouble getting out whereas in dry
weather they cannot emerge so easily
and die. The average life of a beetle,
he said is 40 to As days after it comes
out of the ground. A female lays
from 40 to 60 eggs and the grubs of
this summer will be the beetles next
summer. He estimated they will be-
gin to disappear after August Is.
Mr.. Cranston described some home
remedies for beetle eradication, chief
of which was the spreading of white
sheet on the ground under a bush or
plant of any kind on which the beetles
have gathered. This should be done
after shutdown or before sunrise as the
pests do not fly in the dark. When
the bush is shaken the beetles fall off
and can be gathered up in the sheet.
Ordinary talcum powder, white flour
or lime sprinkled on bush or plant
will keep the beetles away as they do
not seem to like anything white.

A verdict of $4,000 damages award
ed Emory v. Hogans, of Rock Hall,
against the Holt Oil Company was re-
duced to $17,5OO by Talbot county's
Circuit Court judges on last Monday,
as the company moved for a new
trial.
The court gave the oil company's
attorneys ten days in which to accept
or reject the reduced verdict. If the
sum is rejected, new trial will be
granted. Hogans was awarded $780,
600 in the first trial of the case, which
grew out of his being struck by a

maintained he was crippled in the &C.

bility Of q new world record for the
winner of the mile race Of the CEN

weeks from today.
Cunningham. the present king OF

Hargiss said Cunningham and
Lovelock both were capable" Of a

the winner of the Princeton battle
would achieve the long sought 4:O4

than 4:06, however" Hargiss added.
