CANTALoUPE SEASON AT HAND

The canloupe season in Maryland
and adjoining Delware counties is
beginning with prospects of the big
est season in a great many years.
The cantaloupe industry is proba-
bly, the largest fruit industry on the
Delmarva Peninsula, not excepting
the strawberry and peach industries
Some of the large cantaloupe CEN
tiers are located at fredericksburg, Sal
isbury, Seaford, Laurel, Delmar and
Bridgeville. Here the 'loupes are
brought in daily by steady stream
of trucks and other vehicles and
knocked down" to the highest bid
ders, the farmers returning home
with cash in their pockets.
While the bulk of the crop leaves
the cantaloupe centers in trucks for
northern and New England markets,
thousands of carriers are shipped in
refrigerator cars, specially to wes-
tern cities. The industry has grown
so large that state and government
inspectators are located at all the
leading centers to pass judgment on
the melons as they pass under the
auction blocks.

N1NETY-oNE YEARS YOUNG

Walking from his home to King
Street Market, Wilmington, and re-
turn, or making an average of three
miles a day is not unusual for Jesse
]. Tyson, who observed his ninety
first birthday anniversary on Tues
day. MT. Tyson lives with a daugh-
ter, Mrs. Walter l.. Turner, 1907
West Ninth Street, in that city.
Mr.. Tyson's family consists of Mrs
Turner; four other children, Mrs.
Mary e. Sayers, Martin Jesse ]. Jr.,
and William e. D. Tyson, sixteen
grandchildren and six great grand
children. He has sister, Mrs.
Emma Mooney, who lives in Atlantic
City.
Mr.. Tyson is best known as having
conducted a horse bazaar for many
years. At one time his sales stable
was on West Street, where the du-
Point Building now stands. Later he
moved to Fourth and Walnut streets,
then went to Philadelphia. He still
prefers horses to automobiles.
He was born at Rising Sun, Md,
July 20, 1916, a son of the late Israel
Isaac and Hannah Ann Smith Tyson.
The family moved to Lancaster coun-
ty in 1861.
On July 20, 1851, Mr.. Tyson began
carrying mail on horseback on a 3S
mile rural route. He continued car
rying mail until after the Battle Of
Gettysburg, when his father COM
PEELED him to give up the route be-
cause many soldiers travelled through
the vicinity. A part of his route was
through a dense woods where it was
said escaping slaves were concealed.
After giving up his job as mail car
rier, he worked for time in his
fathers feed and -four mill.
In 1882 Mr.. Tyson came to Will
mington and in 1884 opened a sales
stable. Later he entered the haul
ing business. He turned this bust
ness over to his sons about 15 years
ago. The business was then known

Automobile Drivers
Are Required To
Reregister
New Law Sets December
31st As Deadline For
Registration

Maryland automobile drivers are
sending in their applications for new
drivers licenses in accord with the
provisions of the re-regstration act
passed at the last regular session OF
the State Legislature, at the rate of
between $500 and 5000 a day.
According to Harry Bullen, super
visor of registration, the most COM
mon mistake made in filling in the
renewal applications is the ommis-
sion of the required witness sigma
ture. This, he said, is necessary be-
fore new drivers cards can be issued.
Many people, the supervisor added,
send in the wrong amount of money.
He stressed the fact that no notary
fee is required, 81 being the total
expense. He also stated that many
people appeared to be in doubt as to
how to answer the question about
traffic violation convictions. mas
much as there is no room on the
blank to record more than one viola
ton, applicants may simply write,
"See record your Office" Parking,
he added, does not constitute traffic
violation.
Some trouble with illiterates has
been experienced. The supervisor
said the Office clerks had to help
large numbers of them to fill out
their forms.
The deadline for applications is
the last day of this year. Failure to
apply for new license before De-
cember 81, will make it necessary for
late applicants to take new driving
test-something not required in the
registration-and to pay the full IL
cense fee of $3.50.
Numbering the present driving
cards began in 1910. Since that
time there has been no registration,
and Mr.. Bullen said it was impossi-
BILE to know the exact number of un-
used cards still carried on the books.
He added that many motor vehicle
operators had changed their address
ses and a number Of times withou y,
changing their license cards. Con-
siderable inconvenience has been ex-
perienced by the motor vehicle au-
thorities as a result.

Highway Accidents In
crease In State
Chairman OF Motor Vehicle Commits
sion Urges Motorists To
Use Caution

Use Caution
Highway accidents in Maryland
took toll of fifty-one lives in June
bringing the fatality list for six
months to 265, an increase of 35 "
per cent over the same period OF
1885.
In Cecil County, four deaths were
recorded for June as against one for
the same month last year. For the
first six months of this year, fifteen
persons have lost their lives in motor
accidents on Cecil County highways
as compared to five during the cor
responding period of last year.
Walter r. Rudy, Commissioners of
motor vehicles, said, the fifty-one
deaths in June were one more than
in June of year ago. Only one
month, April, has had fewer fatali-
ties than in the same month of 1886.
Commissioner Rudy, in announc-
ing the motor fatality report for last
month said:
During the next few months near
ly every automobile that can be op-
Grated will be using the roads of this
State in search of relaxation and
pleasure"
Therefore, l call upon every mo-
torist to use the utmost caution in
the operation of his car to help de-
crease this ever-mounting toll of ac-
cidents, which result in the death of
some pedestrians, passengers and Of
ten the drivers themselves"
Of the fifty-one persons killed in
June, seventeen were pedestrians,
twenty-one passengers of vehicles
involved in accidents, and thirteen
drivers. Of the SO machines involv-
ed, forty-one were passenger auto
mobiles and fifteen trucks.
Ten persons died in accidents in
Baltimore city. Baltimore county
had seven fatalities; Howard and
Prince Georges counties, six each.
Counties having no highway deaths
were Anne Arundel, Caroline, Cal
vert, Carroll, Frederick, Garrett and
Kent.
The fatalities for the other coun-
ties were: Cecil four; Dorchester,
Montgomery and Wicomico, three
each; Alleghaney, Charles, Hartford,
Queen Annes, st. Mary's, Somerset,
Talbot, Washington and Worchester,
one each.
Speeding was given as the major
cause of the accidents. The report
said twenty-nine drivers were oper-
ating their machines too fast for
conditions. Two did not have the
right of way, two were on the wrong
side of the road, two improper wide
right turns, and one disregard to a
stop signal.

To Force The Removal Of
Roadside Sign Boards
Attorney General Rules Forestry
Group May Enforce Law
Against Advertising

Usurping the authority of the State
Forestry Department, the State
Roads Commission has granted per-
mits to advertisers to erect hundreds
of signs along State rights of way,
State Forester F. w. Besley charges.
Armed with an opinion from At
torney General Herbert r. O'Conor,
defining the Forestry Departments
powers, Mr.. Besley said that he in
tended to force the advertisers to re-
move all the signs, under penalty of
paying a $40 fine for each one.
Mr.. Besley said that the first he
knew of the signs was when his men
found them on the rights of way
along State roads. After they had
torn down about 100 of them, he
said, the advertisers complained to
the State Roads Commission for pro-
lection.
He then was informed by Paul
Sutherland, of the State Roads Com
mission, he said, that permits to erect
signs on the State rights of way had
been granted to approximately
dozen advertisers, whose names were
listed.
Denying the right of the State
Roads Commission to grant such per-
mits, Mr.. Besley then called upon Mr..
O'Conor for definition of the juris-
dictions of the two departments.
Mr.. O'Conor's ruling states that
Maryland statutes give the State For
estry Department the authority to en-
force law prohibiting the erection
of signs, posters, advertisements,
etc., within the limits of public
highway.

LOCUST TREES in CELLAR

Since the cutting of the locust
tree in front of the Pogue 6 Rober-
son lot, at the corner of Main and
Walnut streets, in this town, and the
laying of concrete about the newly
erected gas filling station, the roots
of the tree have found their way un-

shoots through the cracks of the
floor in the basement, in several
places.
These shoots are already more
than a foot in height, and some of
them are sixty or more feet from
where the parent tree stood.
