Well, guess you all know without
my telling you, but I've got to fill out
this column with something-I was
just about to remark that another In
dependence Day has come and gone.
Did you feel very independent These
are not days and times when one can
feel very strongly that way. Seems
to me there was never time when
one had to do thus and how somebody
else says. About all the. Liberty ]
get comes to me through the mail
once week, and for which pay out
Il forget how much-every year.
Somebody's going to charge me
with being a pessimist. Well, how
would anybody know what I am, if
I don't speak it out once in a while.
That gives some good soul an oppor-
tunity to make an optinist of me. But
I've got to see that much-talked-of
silver lining they tell me is behind
every cloud, before my frown breaks
into smile. Some Of these CANNES
will have to know what it looks like
inside dog pound, before I'll breathe
easy. Some of these crowing-hens
and cackling ROSTERS will have to a.
dept, at least, daylight saving time,
instead of giving notice to the sun
two hours before his rising time.
Something will have to be done about
Amos Skeeter, to keep him where he
belongs instead of inside my bedroom,
before the light of life will break up
on my distorted vision. Some of these

HOSPITAL SUNDAY
TO BE OBSERVED
ON SUNDAY 9th
Big Drive Now Being Conducted
To Aid Salisbury Hospital
To Expand

Hospital Sunday will be observed
this Sabbath July 81 in between 100
and 200 churches in the four low
er counties of the Eastern Shore. This
will be in support of the campaign
now being prepared to raise more than
$15O,OOO to end the acute overcrowd-
ing at Peninsula General Hospital
in Salisbury. According to tentative
plans, the money will go to build two
new wings and an extension to the
present hospital structure.
All UNCONVENTIONAL lines will be
dropped this Sunday, in keeping with
the spirit shown at the recent dinner
of 300 leading citizens of Delmarva
Peninsula, when the campaign to in
crease the size Of the hospital was Of
ficially announced.
At that dinner both Rev. Thomas A..
Williams and Father Bernard Wetzel
pointed out that they were speaking
neither as Presbyterian nor as Cath
Ole, but as Christians in urging that
something be done promptly so that
hospital patients need not sleep in
Railways, or be turned away for lack
of room. This something, they agreed,
would have to be the enlargement of
the institution, and the raising Of the
necessary funds.

INFESTATION
OF JAP BEETLES
MUCH LARGER
Necessary That Constant War
fare Be Waged To Keep
Down Multiplication

Many reports have been received
at the County Agents office indica-
ting much heavy infestation of Japa-
nese beetle in the county this year.
During the first few days of trap
ping at Pocomoke last year approx
mately 1000 beetles were caught,
while this year the total was $4,000
per day. Farmers are reporting heavy
infestation especially around POGO
moke, Beaver Dam and Stockton.
Traps for farmers may be secured
from the following: William Keim, Po-
comoke; William r. Richardson, Snow
Hill. If farmers desire traps they
should be secured at once before the
supply is exhausted.
Where grape vines and other plants
are attacked, a coating of hydrated
lime, one pound to gallons of water,
will be found effective. Traps should
be placed in the open sun light, as
more beetles will be caught than if
they are in the shade.
The number of beetles flying will be
at their height about the third week in
July and then steady decrease will
be noted until the beetles disappear
about the third week in August.
Where the infestation is heavy
lawns should be treated with lead ar
senate at the rate of 10 pounds to
1000 square feet. This lead arsenate
should be either mixed one pound to
two gallons Of water, or may be ap-
piled dry, adding moist sand or soil
at the rate of one pound of arsenate
to twenty-five pounds of soil.

This annual migration started years ago when the railroads thawed their switches with cakes of block salt, which deer consider choice morsel.
 Byers Canyon, 5000 feet up in the icy top of Rabbit Ears range in the central part of the state, became a gorge of death for the deer. A dozen trains of the Dem yer and Rio Grande Western and Denver and Salt Lake railroads pass through the canyon every night between II p. m. and 3 a. m.
 Frozen with fright by locoino- tive headlights, the animals were crushed beneath the trains. As many as 8 dozen a day met death in Byers Canyon during one part of the winter.
 Then the state fish and game commission went to work. A corps of wardens, headed by George w. Steele, bundled up in sheepski1 coats ard fur-lined caps, staked

 Railroad officials ordered their engineers to sound a warning as they approached. As the whistle shrieked up the canyon and echoed back in the night, the game war dens hurried from their camp fires to clear the road.
 Shouting, brardishing sticks and waving lanterns, they charged up the right of way to clear the tracks. Often a recalcitrAnt buck showed fight and 1t would take several men to otist him from his stronghold.
 As soon as inildet temperatures melted some of the snow, wagon load after wagonload of hay, c0t~ tonseed meal and other deer deli. cacies was hauled into the laoui1s tains. and unloaded at safe dis tances from the tracks.
