5000 ACRES OF TIMBER CUT
5000 Acres of Timber Cut in State
Annually, Says Report

According to data covering the
states of Delaware, Maryland, New
Jersey and Pennsylvania recently
compiled and released as technical
notes by the Allepheny Forest Ex-
pertinent Station, u. S. D. A; Del
aware's annual area of timber cut
over is placed at $40 acres. Penn
sylvania heads with 1928 acres.
followed by Maryland with 55,189
acres, and New Jersey with 49,316
acres The figures are based on
available data on the quantity Of
forest products harvested in the
territory during the pre-depression
years 1925 to 1929 both inclusive
and from estimated stands per acre
of the materials cut which are rec
ognized as the probable acreage Of
land cut over annually under normal
conditions. OF the $40 acres cut
over, forest products are credited
with acreages as follows: Lumber
2,970; pulpwood so; fuelwood g.
645; fence posts 81; mine props
$40; poles II; piles 1,467; hewed
ties 100. Since the compilation
does not include a class for wood
used in basket and crate manufac-
ture, the assumption may be drawn
that the acres figures for this pro-
duct is included under lumber.

near Middletown, and the fourth,
Samuel Tharp, of Port Penn, are
in the Chestertown, Md, Jail, sus-
pected with being implicated in the
hold-up at pistol point of Augustus
Davis in his store at Colt, Md, on
Thursday night. Mr. Davis was
alone in his store at the time when
two masked men entered and
brandishing a pistol ordered him
to throw his hands up. They then
and bound his hands and feet with
electric wire, and after taking $40
from the cash register cut the tele-
phone wires and fed. Mr.. Davis
succeeded in freeing himself but
was compelled to drive to Town
send to telephone the alarm.
Through Identification of the auto
mobile the bandits used the four
men were arrested. Mr. Davis
said he identified Reynolds as the
man who had the gun. Mr. Davis
was just about to close the store
for the night when the two men
entered and apparently wanted to
buy some things, but this was a
false conclusion as they were rob
bers, and as they approached him,
he observed that they were mask

dangerous predicament. They COM
PEELED him at the point of guns to
lay on the floor while his hands

This done, they hurried away by

Transportation Included

Captain Carr was unable to give
any information about the trans
portation of the men from Will
mington and New Castle county
to the canal job. 1t was learned
definitely however, that transpor-
tation by either train or bus or by
both from Wilmington to the can
al job was arranged, under the di-
rection of the U. S. Engineers. The
order for the 1,250 men to work
on hand labor was placed with
Bankson T. Holcomb, Delaware
Works Progress Administration,
and the men to be employed will
be employed through the Delaware
State Employment service. They
must come from relief, Captain
Carr said. If sufficient men can
not be obtained from relief rolls
in Delaware for the job the re
mainder will be secured from Balti-
more or other sections. The order
placed with the Baltimore WPA
Office provides for the 1850 men,
to be secured from that city, to re-
port Wednesday morning of this
week at the canal.
27 Foot Deep Waterway
Captain Carr pointed out that
the men employed on the hand la
Dor are being employed outside of
contract work The hand labor on
the canal banks is to be done di-
rectly under the direction of the
U. S. Engineer Office and indepen-
dent of the six contracts for the
widening of the canal from 80 to
$50 feet and deepening it from IL
feet at mean low tide to 81 feet
depth. A board of appraisers of
three has been named by Lieuten-
ant-Colonel John c. H. Lee, u. S.
District Engineer, Philadelphia
District, to appraise the properties
along the route of the Chesapeake
& Delaware Canal between Chesa-
pedhe 1lLy anu DeidWdIS lily
which the government must have
to widen and deepen the canal in
connection with the PWA job now
under way. 1t is understood that
one of the appraisers is from Della
ware, one from Maryland, and the
third, representing the government
is from Pennsylvania. The board
has started work at the Chesa-
peake City end where the canal
operation has also started and will
work toward st. Georges as fast
as possible. 1t is not yet known
whether the appraisers will con-
tinue east of st. Georges at this
time or not.

CUNNING SEASON

GOINISlING SEASON
The time which allows the
sportsman with gun and dog to
roam our fields and woods for
partridge and rabbit, November
18th TO February 1st, will soon roll
round. Just here it may not be
out of place to offer a word of eau
tion to sportsmen. A great many
farmers object to gunners going
upon their lands to hunt; they have
been annoyed and injured by such
trespass, and beside that they
count the sporting privileges of
their farms as of value to them
selves, just as their fruit and their
grain, poultry or stock, are their
own, and no one has a right to dis
turb them in the enjoyment of the
one any more than the other. A
number each year post notices
cautioning gunners from tresspass-
ing up them, and those who disre-
gard such notice do it at their
peril. The law is ample and
stringent for the protection of
farmers against all trespassers.

Christian Stewardship, Deuteron-
omy 8:11-18. II Corinthians 9:6-o.
for Sunday, June 16:
The spending of money involves
as much responsibility and wisdom
as getting it. Character is known
in part by the way we spend mon
ey. as we'll as the way in which we
get it. The Bible has much to say
on this.
V. IL. Beware that thou forget
not the Lord thy God in keeping the
commandments, and his judgments
and his statutes which [ command
thee this day" Moses reviewed the
commandments of God in address
ing the Israelites on the east of
Jordan, shortly before his death.
The burden of the Old Testament
teaching by it's leaders was that OF
not forgetting God. This teaching
is as necessary in our day.
VS.. 12-14. "Lest when thou hast
eaten and art full, and has built
goodly houses and dwelt therein;
and when thy herds and thy fiocks
multiply, and thy silver and thy
gold is multiplied, and all that thou
hast is multiplied, then thy heart
be filled up, and thou forget the
Lord thy God which brought thee
forth out Of the land of Egypt, from
the house of bondage" A surfeit
of material goods has the power of
so satisfying and satiating our low
er life that we forget and lose the
sense and need of things that feed
the higher life of the soul. Pros
perity may thus change the whole
level and atmosphere texture and
tone of our life.
AS we go up in our bank account
we go down in spiritual wealth, and
while counting ourselves rich and
wanting nothing we become poor
and blind and naked in our souls;
because of this fact, the depression
ought to result in great and spir-
itual good.

ces e. Willard and Jennie Casseday,
love of flowers and folks, was
beautifully presented by Mrs.
Kraps. 1t has been said the water
lily with it's pure white petals and
shining heart, is the lovely emblem
of the worlds w. C. T. U. A play
let, "Saying 1t With Flowers" pre-
sented by Alice Moody and Mrs.
Palmer, with Dorothy Swift and
Marjorie Miller, flower girls, added
much to the attractiveness of the
meeting. Closing song, II Would
Be True" w. C. T. U. benediction.
An abundance of lovely early
summer flowers, which all brought.
certainly gave a spiritual tone to
the room and meeting. During the
social hour refreshments were serv-
ed and the flowers were arranged
with cards and scripture verses to
be taken to the sick and shut-ins,
25 or more visits to be made; and
flowers which were much appreciat-
ed were taken later to the county

Christian Stewardship, Deuteron-
omy 8:11-18; II Corinthians 9:6-8,
for Sunday, June 16:
How can we forget the things we
ought to forget and remember the
things we ought to remember?
What is a Christian steward?
How should be practice Christian
stewardship today?
How learn to be cheerful givers?
What is a good plan of giving our
money?
Why does material prosperity so
often produce spiritual death?
Glorious says: 1--WE become SO alb
sorbed in things that they crowd
out God, or our faith in his reality
and presence becomes so clouded
with doubt and Indifference that he
practically fades from our con-
science and disappears from our
life When we cease to remember
and cherish God, all Christian
duties are likely to go, leaving us
without God"

water out of the rock; who fed thee
in the wilderness with mama,
which thy fathers knew not, that
he might humble thee and that he
might prove thee, TO do thee good
at the latter end To remember
God we need to remember what
God has done for us and what he is
still doing. God does the greater
part in the growing Of grain and
fruit; by his organized law he has
provided our fuel; he has given the
