up. They're sorry for me. I have
MT been driven over 80 miles an
hour for more than six months.
It drives me nuts. me that's used
to 60 or more.
Three years? Why that's moth
ing to an old warhorse like me.
I'm good for 100000 miles and
more yet.
The other day they even talked
OF turning me in on a new car.
Now amt that q pretty mess?
Imagine some young squirt Of q
bus trying to take my place.
after all I've done for the family.
Trouble IS they don't realize
there is q garage like yours that
can take care Of all them little
squeaks and knocks In me that's
got them thinking I'm getting
old. Just you wait. One Of these
days I'll get them to bring me
into your place. Then you can
tell them what q good machine
I really am. 5sse

.SHAD SEASON
COMES TO END
Fishermen Report Only a Fair
Season This Year in
Delaware Waters
ONLY ONE STURGEON

The 1889 shad fishing season in
the Delaware River came to a close
officially on Saturday noon. Nets
must be lifted from the river un-
der the law. Fishing held up well
until the last few days of the sea-
son. Only a few fish were taken
last week. Most Of the boats at
Delaware City and oPrt Penn were
out Saturday morning however.
Ordinarily, shad fishermen turn to
sturgeon fishing at the end of the
shad season. This year, however,
there has been no sturgeon fishing
worthy of record in this section.
For the first time on record, no
boats are going out for sturgeon
from Delaware City. 1t is also the
first year that one or more sturg-
con have not been taken In shad
nets. The roe of only one sturgeon
has been prepared for sale at Del
aware City this year. That tsn
was captured after it had been
struck by a boat propeller in the
Chesapeake and Delaware Canal
near Chesapeake City.

made sometime late this fall or
winter. Before these conservation
payments will be approved by the
Washington office of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Administration,
however, each farm which is listed
in the 1889 program must be in
spected by one of the field super
visors and determinations made
with reference as to whether the
farm is in compliance. This field
work is being conducted under the
direction of Kenneth t. Meredith
state field supervisor for this con-
servation program. Within the
past several months the members
of the county committee with the
assistance of Office clerks have
been tabulating data in regard 20
the crop acreage and wheat ano
vegetable allotments on each farm
in the county. Later in the year
they will be engaged in checking
over and apprving compliance pap
ers in connection with the 1889
agricultural conservation program

with some farms in both areas
having a greater and others a
smaller yield, he said. The oats
and rye crops, although not nearly
as important crops as wheat have
also suffered considerably, he add
ed. But the rains that fell late
last week and early this week
seem to have definitely broken the
drought for the present, at least,
and if normal rainfall should con-
tinue for the remainder of the
summer the corn crop, although
retarded, will not be seriously af-
fected. Tomatoes, potatoes, and
other truck vegetables are also ex-
pected to recover from the effects
of the drought in a short time.
One bright spot in the drought
was for those farmers who had
sown scarlet clover. This crop
seemed to thrive on the dry wealth
er so that the largest yield in
many years is reported from diff
ferent parts of the state, Mr..
Soper said.

the duty of the missionary in China
is more than being spiritually
disciple-it is one of rendering aid
to human needs, ministering to
physical needs and giving help to
war victims.
Bishop McGrath. native of New
foundland, gives the impression of
being in his early 30s though ad-
mitting to 43 years of age, nearly a
decade of which has been spent in
China missionary work. A member
of the Canadian Foreign Mission
ary Society with an extensive China
background, he is optimistic for the
spiritual future of China.
He went through numerous bomb
ings Of Shanghai during visits to the
metropolis and remarked that recent
ly it has been the primary work of
missionaries to give medical aid.
Though his province is south of the
war zone. he said there was much
work to be done for refugees and
war wounded.
Here for mission benefit to be
given tonight in the Willard Hotel,
he was with fellow China worker,
the Rev. John J. Munday, of the
Congregation of the Mission. Father
Munday. who came here from
Philadelphia to join in the social
staged by the Rev. Frederic P.
Gehring for the benefit of China
work, operates in the province Of
Kiansi to the southwest of Bishop
McGrath's locality.
With 40 priests in the China field
and 80 missions established, Bishop
McGrath said more than 100000
converts were being made each year
through church activities in the
spiritual and physical realm. Both
said they expected to return to their
work in the Orient at the expiration
of their leave.
Bishop McGrath in his recent book
''The Dragon at Close Range" sums
up his charge in this manner:
1T Is simply to obey the COM
mand Of Christ to teach all nations;

The tide of Christendom flows into
the Orient through channels laid by
such men as the Right Rev. William
c. McGrath.
Officially known as the prefect
apostolic of Lishui, Chekiang, China,
Bishop McGrath is Catholic mis-
sionary per Sc. but unoff1cially he is
man who has found his calling
and is doing as best he can the
task of giving aid to the needy in .
war-torn world.
Unassuming, quiet of manner and
a ready talker on non-political
events of the Far East, he brought

to Washington yesterday a summa-
ton of Oriental affairs with a say
ing that it is futile to speculate on
events to be.
Following this philosophy he re-
marked that it is easy to recall his
tory and the events of the past,
but it is useless to toy with that
which has not yet come to pass. He
particularly kept away from politi-
cal speculations and discussions on
Chinas future or the relationship
of his church with Oriental de-
velopments.
In these troubled times, he said,
