PLANS ARE NOW
COMPLETE FOR
BEETLE WARFARE
Intensive Campaign To Hold
Down Their Spread To A
Minimum

Plans have been completed by DR.
George S. Langford in charge of the
Japanese Beetle Retardation Program
for the state, to carry on an intensive
campaign this season, in an effort to
hold down the spread Of the japanese
beetle to minimum.
Last year in Princess Anne during
the period of June 18th to July 22nd
about $4,000 beetles were caught in
the 389 traps that were operated in
this community. In addition thous-
ands of beetles were caught in the
400 traps operated in the territory SUI
rounding Kings" Creek and West
over:
Several colonies of parasites were
released near Kings Creek were the
infestation is heaviest along the state
road and the railroad siding. Results
from parasites cannot be expected
for a period of from 5 to 6 years.
DR.. Langford announces that the
work in Maryland will be financed on
a cooperative basis between the coun-
ties, State and Federal governments,
each bearing a third Of the expense.
He states that twenty-five of the
twenty-three counties have approved
appropriations for the program this
year.
In Somerset county plans call for
traps to be placed as follows: Prin-
cess Anne, 400 traps; Crisfield, $50
traps; Marion, 100 traps; Upper Fair
mount, 100 traps; Farm Area, 1000
traps.
The shipping points around Princess
Anne, Kings Creek and Westover will
be sprayed before the produce is ship
ped. It is expected that the program
will cost about $1793.sO which amount
the Somerset Board of County Com
missioners have agreed to levy the
county's share of $597.93.
Farmers who wish to cooperate in
the program should advise County A
gent C. z. Keller of the number of
traps that they can operate during
the season. There will be q small

Well. Sir, made up my mlnd last

brain and body, both of which are
suffering from the approach OF senli-

debility. So, I did; got back yes

not. I don't see any diminution OF the
aforementioned frailties, which state

WOOD TICKS
ARRIVING ON
DUE SCHEDULE
Reported AS Carriers Of An In.
lection Which Causes
Spotted Fever

The temperance of wood ticks on
scheduled time is reminder that
some of them are gangsters and are
carriers of the infection that causes
spotted fever, or tick-bite fever, as
it is frequently called, in humans.
Five cases of the disease have been
reported to the State Department of
Health, so far, this month; two were
reported earlier in the season, all from
widely separated parts of the State.
AS weather conditions seem to have
been specially favorable for the de-
velopment of the ticks this year, DR..
r. Fl. Riley, Director of the State
Department of Health advises fisher
man, owners of camps and shores, and
others whose business or pleasure
takes them into tick-infested areas,
to use all possible precautions against
being bitten by the insects; to remove
any found on the body as soon as pos
sible, and to take great care not to
crush the ticks in handling them.
Tick-bite fever is contracted, he ex-
planned, either from the bite of the
disease-carrying ticks or through alb
sorbing the infectious material thru
a break or scratch in the skin. The
disease does not spread from person
to person.
"The tick responsible for the spread
of the disease in this part of the coun-
try" DR.. Riley continued, els the

PARKING METERS
Being DISCUSSED
FOR LOCAL USE
Various Arguments, Pro And
Con, Are Advanced In Con
nectiOn With Project

Just at present, there is some dis
cussion among the business men OF
Pocomoke relative to the ACCESSIBILITY
of installing parking meters in the
business section of the city.
One meeting has been held and an
other took place last night Thursday
the result of which has not been an
nounced. There is sentiment for and
against. Some are of the opinion
they will drive shoppers away from
the stores; others say they will give
more room for visiting buyers by
keeping all-day home parkers away
from the curb.
There is a sentiment expressed by
some that the town is too small; that,
even in the most distant parking
places, the walk is short to the shop
ping district. A complaint is made
that to mail letter will cost a
nickel: to get a shave will add a five
cent tax to the BARRIERS fee. To stake
the thirst with soft drink will be
doubled in price; and if the period OF
parking is exceeded, there will be q
fine of one dollar.
The chief reason for the meters is
to give shoppers from abroad more
chance to get to the shops; but II
does seem that an hour is a shor'
space of time to examine wares and
buy. The issue will soon be settled.

GIRL TO BLAME FOR
BAD CLAUSE IN LAW

According 10 counsel for the
state, a "fuzZy-headed" stenog-
rapher is to blame for the
wrongly-worded enacting clause
of the chain store law passed by
the 1887 legislature. The firm of
Vaughn and Ragsdale, Billings,
brought suit in district court
to have the act declared uncon-
st%itutional because the enacting
clause reads BE it enacted by
the people of the state of Mon
tana" rather than BE it enact
ed by the legislative assembly
of the state of Montana"
John A. Matthews, member
OF the state board of equaliza-
tion, appeared before the su-
preme court for the state when
the Billings firm appealed after
losing in district court. Matt
news said the history of the
bill showed the enacting clause
had been ordered corrected, and
that the "error of a fuzzy-head-
ed stenographer should not be
held sufficient to invalidate the
entire law" ARTHUR F. Lamey
of Havre and William Jameson
of Billings appeared for the
company against the state. The
supreme court has the case un-
der AMUSEMENT.

The Low Down
On Hickory Grove

Susie and I, we got a boy,
and he graduated in Chemistry
the other day, so we sashayed
out there to Berkeley, Calitor-
MIA, to see him get his sheep
skin. And say, they have a
President of the school there,
who is a hum-snorter - Bob
Sproul. He made a speech.
He told the Goods and the
Boys there, that opportunity is
perching everywhere - if you
take off your coat and go to
work-and stop listening to the
Messiahs. A political Messiah,
he is a person who complexities
a simple everyday problem so as
to have something very diff
cult to fiX-so he can fix it
and get elected, or reelected.
Sproul, he took off some VEN
eer-from politics.
I do not know which party
MI. Sproul hobnobs with, if
any-but he is the kind of guy
we need more of, down on our
muddied Potomac.
He belongs up there in my list
of favorite 2 listers, with some
thing in their bean-like Mr..
Pat Harrison, and Yankee Mar
tin, and about one dozen others
there who have some iron in
their backbone, and not rubber.
Yours, with the low down,

IL Well, sir, the Vikings of old used to sail the seas in

It happened in September, 1927-and here's how. Pete
barge was sent on after Pete joined the crew, was a tow out
a hundred and ~ninety-fve miles out in the Atlantic.
The rendezvous at which they were to meet was south
east of Block island. A tug was to take the barge out. Five
had never been out to ca before. The fifth man vas a regular sea-
going bargeman.
Trip Was Like a Moonlight Excursion.
On the afternoon of the day appointed, the tug came along and the
barge was hooked on behind it. Pete says the trip up Long Island sound
was like a moonlight excursion. But after they passed Montauk Point,
the lei was mighty rough. The four landlubbers' Immediately got seasick-
1t was a hard night for those lads-but it was going to be .
lot harder before they got back. The next day, when they
arrived at the appointed spot, there was no sign of the boat they
had come to meet. The tugboat captain told the bargeman to
drop anchor and he would circle around and see if he could find
III other boat. He cast of the tow line and the tug steamed
away. Soon it was out of sight. There was nothing in sight,
as q matter Of fact, but water and more water. They were
nearly two hundred miles from the nearest land. Then, half
an hour later, a thick fog settled down the anchored barge.
Says Pete: We were lying in our hunks, too sick to move, when the
regular bargenan came in and told is about the fog. He explained
that we were anchored in the shipping lane, and that was a dangerous

liners which were continually passing through that part of the ocean,"
And that was only the beginning. The troubles crowded thick and

KILLING FISH

Carelessness in re m ovin e
small fish from hooks before
turning them back into the
water is killing hundreds of
small fish daily in Montana, &C
cording to State Game Warden
James A. Weaver. He said most
sportsmen are anxious to free
the little fish and have them
grow up, but that they are not
careful enough in taking them
off their hooks. Hands should
be wet before handling the fish,
and they should be kept under
water if possible while hooks are
being removed. They should not
be squeezed, and hooks should
be worked out slowly,
