SUSSEX COUNTY
WOMEN CONDUCT
ART CAMPAIGN
Will Throw Open Old Houses
And Furniture To Visitors
Saturday 10Th

A "Day in Old Sussex" is to be re-
created in Lewes and Rehoboth by an
enthusiastic committee of Sussex
County, Delaware, women as their
part in the campaign to erect and
maintain the proposed Wilmington
Art Center; on Saturday afternoon of
June 29-the last Saturday before
the 4th of July, old houses and new
ones in Lewes and Rehoboth will be
open to visitors from 1890 standard
time to $50 in the evening, each home
enriched by a collection of antique
house-furnishings gathered from every
corner of this southern and largest
county of the state.
It is expected that those who allow
their imagination to have its way with
them, will find material in plenty to
set back the clock of their thinking for
a hundred years or more. In the two
towns in that Saturday afternoon of
June, dozen houses and gardens will
be open to visitors for blanket adj
mission fee of $1.00.
In Rehoboth, the open houses will
be those of Mr.. and Mrs. H. Rodney
Sharp, Mr.. and Mrs. Harry L. Cannon,
DIR. and Mrs. Frank L. Grier, Mr.. and
Mrs. Henry B. Thompson, Mr.. and
Mrs. w. S. Corkran; in addition, the
garden of Mrs. William S. Baer will
welcome visitors.
In quaint old Lewes there will be
St. Peters Church, the Dutch House,
and the Zwaanendael Club as the CEN
ter of interest supplemented by a
suggested route through this historical
town of more than 300 years. From
the deVries Monument at the entreme
end Of Pilot Town Road to the Pres
byterian Church on Kings Highway,
one passes quaint and charming
houses of this old sea-faring town.
There is also to be seen on Kings
Highway fine pair of giant expresses
located at what was the gateway of
house of long ago-they were plant
ed long ago in observance Of an old
custom, and are bride and groom"
trees Of magnificent girth.
The Old Sussex Day Committee and
the hostesses of the various homes to
be opened at that time, are said to
be doing everything within their pow
er to make worthwhile visit to Lew
es and Rehoboth Beach on Saturday
afternoon, June 29th-the last Sat-
urday in June.

CEREMONIES FOR
RE-DEDICATION OF
5TH'S ARMORY
Plans In Preparation For Open
ing Up Big Building On
September 18th, 18th

A large majority of the Citizens
Committee appointed by Mayor How
ard Jackson of Baltimore attended the
meeting that marked the first event
in connection with plans for the Re-
dedication ceremonies of the Fifth
Regiment Armory in Baltimore, Sep
TENDER 18th and 14th. This meeting
was held for the purpose of giving the
members of the Citizens Committee,
which represents the professional and
business world of Baltimore, an OPP
portunity to observe the work that has
already been done on the Armory and
to vision it after it is fully completed.
Maj. General Milton A. Reckord, Ad-
jutant General Of Maryland said in
his address that while the Fifth Regi-
ment Armory will be worth approx
mately $1,000, 100000 the cost to the
State will not be in excess of $780,
10000. This was the only amount
available for the reconstruction and
llIou1 ohSO AiiOAOJ eSAAN -
state appropriation. A problem Of
considerable magnitude was faced
when it was discovered that the lowest
bid was more than a million dollars |;
this was solved by employment fur
nished through the CWA and later
by the PWA. Once the reconstruction
work started General Reckord said
it proceeded steadily and it is now
about 80 per cent complete.
Plans for the September celebra-
ton indicate that it will mark one of
the most brilliant of Maryland's mill
tary occasions of recent years. All
parts of the State will be represented
and there will be hosts of visitors
from other States.
All of the member organizations of
the Centennial Legion consisting of
military units of the thirteen original
colonies, together with Governors of
the States which they represent, have
been invited.

I'm TWO PARTS-PART TWO

The start for the third days travel
was at daylight as usual. Sheltered I'M
der the mountainside at the mouth of
Wolf creek, the party scarcely felt the
however, roaring on the ridges and
the trees were seen to be swaying and
bending in the gusts on nearby noun
tain tops. The teamSters knew what
was ahead and n of them remarked,
1T will be tough out O the open hills"
About an eighth of a mile from the
nights campground the road led away
from the stream up what was known
as the Black grade, named because of
through which it had been dug. AS the
teams assembled this grade and turn
ed toward the Kreuger ranch on Rock
creek, they found themselves in a fur
tous gale laden with clouds of fine
drifting snow. The wind was from the
rear and whirled the snow in the lee
OF the wagons, casing the drivers and
wheel horses in white.
Travelling was hard and slow, for the
road was drifted deeply. On the east
side of n hill the men all turned out
with shovels and opened a way through
a deep drift for the laundering horses
n creaking wagons. One cOulee was
drifted full and the roadway had to be
cleared before the drivers could see the
bridge On which to cross. No stop was
made at noon except for a cold lunch,
with hot coffee made by shivering
women on the little stoves in the
wagons. The teamsters were pulling
straight through to the Dearborn and
shelter, a distance of II miles, where
they arrived late in the afternoon.
Camp that night was in a cotton
wood grove on the river bottom. AS eve
ming came ON the wind died down and
the sky became overcast with haze.
The situation for a comfortable camp
vas not good. However, a big cotton
wood was felled and then another
dropped IN top and l%engthwise of it.
Willow brush was leaned against these
and now piled against it to hold it in
place. With this for a reflector and a
big fire of dry logs in front of it, the
space between wa fairly warm. In it
the usual evening meal was ~preparded
and eaten.

rocked him in her arms, grooming a
cradle song and wondering why on
earth she vel came On such q trip
with a six-month-ol baby. At last,
worn out with crying he fell asleep.
AS the teams drew near the fort the
Siren awoke, rested but hungrier than
ever: When passing the barracks, his
mother said in after years, his cries
brought the soldiers out to see If the
Sioux were attacking. In front of Nc
knights store the wagons stopped. Bot
Ties were more or less taboo even
around the Frontier fort but at last a
sweet oil bottle was found and clean
ed so it was disable. When it was filled
with warm milk and the Siren had the
nipple in his mouth, he gave his moth
persistence does"
ITS 20 degrees below zero right now
by the government thermometer" said
the Sirens father as he crawled into
the wagon and the teams started on.
A mile or more from the fort, in the
shelter of a cottonwood grove and a
patch of willows, the halt for the night
was made. The keen north wind was
still blowing but, in the scant shelter
of the leafless trees and brush, it SEEM
ed a little less severe than on the open
prairie.
The hour was late and preparations
Tor the night were hurried. A fire soon
blazed a little distance from a big down
cottonwood. Brush was leaned over the
log to make a wind break and around
the fire in its lee the women and chill
dren collected to get warm while the
men cared for the horses, set up tents
and gathered more firewood. Supper
was a cold meal, even with hot biscuits,
coffee and fried grouse. All were shiv-
ering and stood by the fire, turning
first n side and then the other to its
warmth as they ate. The Siren seemed
comfortable for a little while. He ap-
peared to be listening to the mourn
full howl of a gray wolf greeting the
rising moon from the benches north of
the river. Then a Canada lynx, search
ing for c%ottontail rabbits along the
river, uttered a few screeches. This was
too much. The Sirens little heart leap
ed with envy. He pitched in and for
hours made everyone miserable with
his CRYING.
The Hardin tribune-herald. [volume] (Hardin, Mont.) 1925-1973, 1935-06-28

Everyone was asleep early. Toward
morning a cold northeast wind ratified
the frozen tops Of the c~ottouwoods.
When daylight came a storm was on.
Snow was falling and drifting along the
ridge Of the road.
All the forenoon the horses toiled
through drifts against the storm. In
teriors of the wagons were cold and
the men often got out and walked to
keep warm. Toward noon a halt was
made on a little stream coming down
from the Bird Tail divide to Flat creek
at the old Wareham place. Horses were
watered and fed and again coffee was
made on the little stoves in the wagons.
Everyone got out for a few minutes to
timber up, but there was comfort for
none.
The afternoons drive was colder than
that of the morning. The road led up
Flat creek and around Bird Tail noun
tains across Benton flats to Bird Tail
creek and Eagle Rock stage station.
The Bird Tail divide cutoff was well
known and much used at the time but,
because of ice on its northern slope, the
teamsters decided on the longer and
nor exposed route. The storm had a
clear sweep ON the prairie and the &C.
cupants of the wagons suffered much
with cold. through wrapped with
Olo1lhCCo anu Du4AdAO 4ODCos
In the shelter of a sandstone ledge
on Birdtail creek, the nights camp
was made. Cottonwood logs brought
from the Dearborn furnished fuel for
a campfire by which everyone tried to
get warm. Sandstone slabs were heated
to put in the beds. There is nothing
much more comforting of a cold night
in bed in a tent ON the prairie than a
hot rock-unless it is two of them.
In the morning the storm was over,
but it was cold-bitter cold. The Bird
Tail mountains, Bird Tail rock, Crown
butte, and Square butte stood in bold
relief against a clear blue sky. In the
bright sunlight the air truly sparkled
with glinting frost crystals borne on the
north wind down over Crown butte and
its adjacent hills.
Little time was spent by the morning
fire. The big stones used in the beds
the night before were relocated, wrap
ped in empty sacks and placed in the
wagons, where the travellers felt they

would do the most good. The younger
of the Sirens two brothers sat on his.
The Sirens brothers also tied empty
sacks around their legs and feet as did
such Of the men as were not extra well
clothed.
How the wheels sang as they crunch
ed through the cold snow. Young folks
today who have never heard steel tires
singing in frosty snow have missed
of which I write when I first learned
to like the music of winter wheels.
AS the teams toiled along drifted
roads the drivers wished they had not
attempted the trip. Walking beside
their horses and clapping their hands
for warmth, it seemed that the sun,
with a sundog on either side, over
Square butte only made the air colder.
They had aggravating visions of warm
rooms and comfortable chairs left be-
hind.
Presently, on a w%indswept ridge above
the road, a band of pronghorn antelope
was sighted watching the wagons. The
two hunters dropped from the wagons
and made their way up a ravine to
within rifle range of the herd. Smoke
from the rifles could barely be seen
against the background of frost and
snow, but the reports cracked sharply
through the colo, colo WlnQ. Inc am
mails bounded over the hilltop in head
long flight except three, which lay
stretched in the snow. These were
dressed hastily, dragged to the wagons
and slung alongside with the deer and
sheep. One of the men remarked that
all that was needed to complete the
assortment was an elk and a buffalo.
Disaster came to the Siren about
the middle of the forenoon. His faith
er put the young mans bottle Of milk
in hot water to warm and the bottle
cracked. 1t was the only bottle in the
outfit for this was a band of teetotalers,
who regarded any bottle with suspicion.
The Siren was hungry. The teams
were out Eve miles from Fort Shaw,
which meant nearly a three-hours drive
before another bottle could be had. A
long drawn, soulful blast expressed the
SIRENS disappointment when his dinner
was not forthcoming. He refused warm
milk from a cup or a spoon and cried
for an hour or more while his mother

this speed and heat will hurt anything

You can't always be sure when you
use plain mineral oils, for they have
little film strength and oils over-re6ned
by new cleansing processes have even
less. Moreover, as motor heat goes up,
these oils rapidly lose film strength.
Film strength is the load-carrying
ability of an oil, the quality that keeps
bearings and cylinders from wearing
out. Lack of film strength results in
costly damage.
You can drive without a worry when
you use Conoco Germ Processed Mo-
tor Oil! 1t has 2 to 4 times greater film
strength than any plain mineral oil.
Heat does not lessen this advantage.*

metric measurement ofmotor bearings
showed that Germ Processed Oil pre-

high-quality plain mineral oil per-

Department store sales in Wash.
ington for June totaled 1913 per
cent more than sales in June
1884, although June last year had
one more business day than June
this year.
This was learned from a re.
lease by the Federal Reserve
Bank of Richmond, which places
sales for the Fifth Federal Re
serve District as a whole at 5 per
cent above June, 1884.
In cumulative sales for the
first six months of this year the
Fifth district also showed an
average increase of 5 per cent,
while the gain for Washington
over the first half of last year
was 12.1 per cent.
Total sales in 53l stores in the
United States in June 1885 were
4 per cent larger than sales in
June 1884, and cumulative sales
in the nation were 2 per cent
above total sales in the first six
months of last year.
