Taxi Cab Ring Defeats
New Marriage Law
File Petition Preventing Law
From Becoming Operative

Elkton will remain a Gretna Green,
the taxicab group, marrying parsons
and others profiting by the CONNER
cial marriage business, having pre-
vented the law requiring 48 hours
to intervene before a marriage IL
cense can be issued becoming opera
tive on June L.
Under Maryland law, if 5000 vot-
ers sign a petition, any new law can
be postponed one month before it
goes into effect. That period of
grace gives opportunity for obtain
ing 5000 more signatures to another
petition. This done, the voters have
an opportunity to pass upon the law
at the next general election.
William Cam, head of the Elkton
Taxicab Company, took the first Pc
tition of 5000 voters to Annapolis on
Saturday and presented it to Secre-
tary of State E. Roy Jones, who an
nounced the marriage law will now
not become effective until July !.
Efforts were at once begun to OBJ
tain the 5000 additional signatures
necessary to hold up operation Of the
law until the November election in
1888.
The present petition contains g.
700 names of Baltimore voters and
1885 others obtained throughout the
State.

Forest Tree Planting
In Pennsylvania
Pennsylvania Water & Power
Company One Of Leaders
In Reforestation

PENNSYLVANIA Water & Power Com
pany Plants 10000 Trees
Tree planting in Pennsylvania has
been very active this spring, the for
est planting stock being furnished by
the State Department of Forests and
Waters.
This springs planting in Lancaster
County compares very favorably with
that in the surrounding counties
Berks leads the other counties IN
southeastern Pennsylvania, with to-
tal of 1873. 900, and Lehigh County is
second with 114.OOO.
The stock sent out from the State
Nurseries is largely coniferous OF the
following species: White pine, Scotch
pine, Norway spruce, larch, locust,
etc. Aside from the standpoint OF
producing timber, the trees will re-
store the ground cover on nearly 100
acres; thereby conserving moisture,
retarding soil erosion, supply game
food and cover as well as provide
other benefits in which the State au-
thorities are primarily interested.
OF the % planters in Lancaster
county, the largest number OF trees
was set out on the ground OF the
Penna. Water & Power Co., Holt
wood. Twelve thousand were plant
ed in places unsuitable for farming
and some were used to reinforce un-
derstocked woodlands. Eight thous-
and trees were planted on lands be-
longing to the Susquehanna Real Els
tate Co., HOLLYWOOD. Warren M.
Weiser, of Elizabethtown, secured A.
900. Other orders were smaller IN
number and were shipped to persons
in all parts of the county,
Forester E. F. Brouse reports
nearly, 1900 acres in Lancaster
county in need of reforestatlon.
There are many acres of uncultiyated
land and poorly stocked woodland
on farms in the upper part OF the
county, he states. 1t is suggested
that such areas might we'll be planted
in trees.

R. A. W.-Will I finally get a
job here in this city and if not let
me know just what you do think
about the situation? .
Ans.-You will get work. You
will be forced to accept a job that
is in an entirely different line of
work than you are accustomed to
but it will provide a living until
you can do better. Keep looking.
E. A. B.-Should I go with my
husband as he has planned? Also,
should put my husband in debt
again?
Ans.-GO with him to NEW
YORK even though he must go in
debt few dollars. He wouldn't be
satisfied up there without you and
unless he was satisfied he couldn't
prosper to any great extent. Work
out plan whereby you can go
along with him.
E. W.-Please help me with my
problem. Will I go back to my fos-
ter mother in the near future?
Ans.-Get in touch with her and
let her know that you want to come
back she will SEND FOR YOU.
This little vacation away from her
will help you both to appreciate one
another. She misses you just as
much as you miss her.
R. F. RI am greatly in love
with a doctor of this city and I
want to know just what I should do
about this affair?
Ans.-There isn't a chance for
you. Forget the doctor and continue
with your friendship with the man
you are KEEPING COMPANY
with now. You really don't love
this doctor but because you
think you can't win him you
suddenly bloom with infatuatiOn.
E. M. P.-My young life has been
wrecked forever. Should I do what
I have planned?
Ans.-My dear child don't think
of it. In the meantime, change
your tactics and look on the other
side of life. You realize your mis-
take now make the best of it and
guard against a similar act in the
future. Your life IS NOT RUINED
E. you are just growing up.
A. D. C.-Will my husband work
for the same amount of money all

his life or is he fooling me about
his wages? "
Ans.-He is quite honest. Your
husband will not change jobs in the
near future nor do believe he
will receive an increase in salary.
His wages are rather small L. . but
it comes at regular intervals and
if you manage it right it should
take care of your obligations.
S. C. B.-I am an earnest worker
and the mother of three children. I
want to know if I should do what
this man has asked of me or what
steps should I take to better my
Ans.-The man who asked you
to MARRY HIM is quite sincere
and he will do his best to provide
a good home for you and your chill
dren. In my opinion, you and he
should be able to get along well
and enjoy your future years to-
gether.
B. L. H.-Does my husband care
for me as he says he does or is
he just putting on? What makes
him get mad and evil at times?
Ans.-Indeed he does love you.
Everyone is inclined to show signs
of temper when things don't go to
suit him. Overlook these little
angry spells that he so frequently
has, for you would surely be lost
without his love.
M. w. Pr have a man in mind
and I want to know if he cares
anything for me. He is very slow
and will he ever let me know how
I stand with him?
Ans.-After so long a time he
will get up the courage to tell you
that he is interested in you. This
man was MARRIED at one time
and he certainly is not going to
get back in this rut again until he
is quite sure that he has found the
right girl.
G. w. MI enjoy reading your
column every week. Tell me if my
husband will get well and what is
wrong with him?
Ans.-I have reason to believe
that he will get well although
it is entirely out of my line to
diagnose his case. Get in touch
with a good medical doctor and
INSIST that he receive medical at
tention at an early date.

Hello Everyone:

This past week the interest of
the younger people was conferred
around two events: The Sphinx
Club dance at the Sterling Club
and the Youth Congress at the
Radisson. Monday night the AL
pha pledges entertained their
friends at the Sterling Club at an
informal dancing party. More
so than usual, that everlasting pop
ular fellow, Dan Cupid, was very
much in evidence that evening.
Cupid picked out as his first vic
Tins DORTHEA HARRIS and
LOUIS MASON. And I mean he
really gave them a double dose of
arrows. Dan was sorta lurking
around BILL SIMMS but BILL
seems to be Dams worst customer.
Everytime Dan picks BILL out in
some stable position BILL goes
dashing off to some other part of
the room. WALTER ROBIN
SON is certainly a busy young
man. CYou know, girls, he's the
Romeo who tells all of us those
little white lies.) Be careful, WAL
LY, you're liable to jibe the wrong
girl and she'll take you seriously.
Then, young man, you'll have
something on your hands and you
won't be able to get rid of it.

SURVEY REPORTS MADE

Those farmers in Kent county
who were in the 1886 soil conserva-

ton is being completed as rapidly
as possible under the direction of
the Kent County Agricultural Con

tion with County Agent Russell E.
Wilson of the extension service of
the University of Delaware. Aerial
photographs have been taken of
the county for the purpose of as
sisting field supervisors in locating
farms and in checking over the
crop land All of these photo
graphs, however, have not been re
ceived from the Federal govern

continue this compliance survey
without a complete set of aerial
maps. AS these survey reports
are brought into the county exten-
sion office by field supervisors the
records are carefully checked over
by R. Harry Wilson, Laurence E.
Cain and H. Clifford Clark, mem

the field information is then enter
