Punish Hunters
Who Break Rules
Captain Advises

Severe punishment for
game Law violators and more
game wardens to arrest vio-
lators will end the controver-
sy between hunters and
ranchers," Captain L. T. Ward Of
the division of fish and game said
in Ell Centre Thursday.
AS supervisor of fish and game
in Imperial and San Diego coun-
ties, Captain Ward visited Imperial
county to ascertain the number OF
game birds and fish, and confer
with officials and residents.
Hunters who ignore the rules OF
craftsmanship and ignore the prop
erty rights of ranchers," he said,
deserve to be punished severely.
Not all hunters are so selfish and
careless but those who are give
the others bad name
He declared game birds help
keep down the pests which destroy
crops and thus are valuable to the
farmer. The hunters keep the num-
Der of birds down so they cannot
increase SO much they become a
menace to crops.
His check of Imperial county
showed few ducks, possibly because
of the warm weather. There are
plenty of doves, he said, but they
are scattered as always this late
in the season.

Sabotage Danger
Greater Than II,
States Stimson

WASHINGTON, Oct. "a. CUP)-
Secretary of War Henry L. Slim
son said today that the sabotage
attempts of Germany and other
belligerents in the present war are
far more dangerous" than they
were during the World War
Speaking of the necessity for the
creation of home guard units to
replace national guarG organiza-
tions called to federal service, he
said that the perfection of sabotage
techniques made home guards more
essential than in the last war
Attempts at sabotage have al
ready been shown by belligerent
nations-Germany, for example
to be far more dangerous than 20
years ago." he said.

Centre with representatives OF the
agricultural section of the state
chamber of commerce.
The state law making it manda-
tory for all labor, including farm
labor, to have one day of rest a
week has been in effect since 1893
but not enforced on agriculture,
Carrasco told a gathering of ranch
ers, growers, and shippers at a
meeting in the court house.
Carrasco advocated that all those
interested in the laws affecting
agriculture get together and change
them so they will work satisfactor-
lily.
Many valley residents declared
such law could not be enforced
on agriculture as, for instance, cows
had to be MIXED every day and
irrigation had to be done on sched-
ule.

Democratic candidate for president

Republican Nominee Wendell l.,
Willkie last night, calling him "a

of addresses across the river in
Manhattan, Smith kept large

New Deal administration.
He compared Mr.. Roosevelt with
Hitler, saying that both had as

THOUSANDS OF
CHICKS GROWN ON
The PENINSULA
Approximately 90,000,000 BrOil-
ers In 1910, Produce $4,000
600, Gross Incomes

1t is estimated that approximately
5000 commercial growers on the Del
Mar-Va Peninsula will produce ap-
proximately 10000, 900 broilers in 1910
bringing approximately $4O,OO0,000 in
gross income. Furthermore, it is es-
timated that at least 100000 will be
sent to distant sources for eggs and
chicks to supply baby chicks to those
producers. It is not generally ap-
preciated that this industry has reach
ed such PROPORTIONS, and with the
marked development of this business
in other areas, particularly Arkansas,
Indiana, Missouri and Ohia, Del-Mar-
Va producers may be headed towards
acute difficulties which may seriously
threaten this industry.
The following program gives de-
tails of meeting of Del-Mar-Va broil-
err growers to be held Mon, Septem-
Der 23rd, in Salisbury, which will be

Mr.. Franklin Purnell, Art teacher,
who was operated on for appendicitis
in the summer vacation, is not back
at his post. He contracted pneumon-
ia shortly after the operation and
this prevents his return at present. It
is hoped he will soon be back in his

possible.

pills have enrolled, distributed in the
grades as follows: First, 43; Second,
So; Third, a.; Fourth, 81; and Fifth,

those in attendance at the high school
building runs up grand total of
$50 children now starting in the local

An innovation has been undertaken
in the Elementary School, known as

children are receiving individual in

tain difficulties these children have
met with, preventing their full CLASH
fication. A manual training room has
been fitted up and they will be taught
to work with their hands as we'll as
with their minds. This feature is a
valuable addition to the Elementary
school curriculum.
The public as we'll as the teachers
and pupils of the school are much
pleased at the decision Of the Board
of Education to run fence along
two sides of the school campus. This
fence will extend from the corner of
4th and Cedar down to Walnut and
then from Walnut down to Fifth. This
is a much needed protection to the
small children. It should prevent
crossing the campus as a short cut
to town, and also shut out the Campus
from two streets when the traffic is
most dangerous in that part of the
city.

BLOCK OPENING IS SUC,
CESTED FOR SOMERSET

The directors of the Eastern Shore
Vegetable Growers Cooperative met
last Thursday evening to reconsider
the reopening of the auction block
at Princess Anne for the late crop of
string beans.
1t was thought that there might be
sufficient string beans ready for mar
ket the coming week would justify
the opening of the auction block.
It was decided to open the auction
block around the first of the coming
week of the 18th, provided there is
sufficient volume Of string beans to
meet the expenses of operating the
auction block.
Growers and dealers should con-
tact E. Walter Long, Manager for
definite time of opening the block this
fall.
Last spring the first string beans
were sold under the block on June
10th and the season ran until July
9Th, total of 116,774 being sold at
auction at an average price of $1.27
a hamper. The average price for June
being $1.3S and for the nearly twelve
thousand baskets sold in July the price
averaged n cents.

PARENTS GIVEN
PRECAUTIONS FOR
THE BAD COUGH
WhOOping Cough Has Beer
Prevalent All Summer And
Endangers Children

Parents are warned to observe es.
pecial precautions for their babies il
whooping cough is in the neighborhood
This disease which has been prevalent
all summer among the colored race,
seems to be attacking white children
more frequently now. Although a
common childhood disease, it is SER
ious for young babies; and last month
two colored and one white infant died
from complications of whooping cough
Even the new born baby can con-
tract it if he is exposed.
If whooping cough is in the neigh
borhood young babies especially
should be kept at home; and if other
children in the family have it those
sick should be kept in separate rooms
carefully isolated. The disease be-
gins as "cold" and after few days
whoop usually accompanies the
cough which lasts for three or four
weeks in the more severe cases. The
disease is most contagious in the ear
ly stages before the whoop, but may
remain contagious during the greater
part of the illness.
A vaccine is available which in many
cases seems to prevent the disease
or to make the attack milder. 1t is
advisable to give the vaccine before
there is any exposure because it seems
to take several weeks for the immun-
ity to develop. Parents are advised
to consult their family physician con-
corning the advisability of inoculat-
ing their children. At a moderate
cost the Health Department can Sc
cure the vaccine within a few days
from any physician who does not have
it on hand.
The problem of nursing the sick
baby with whooping cough is often
difficult. The public health nurses
are prepared to assist physicians upon
request by visiting these sick babies
and instructing the family in proper
nursing care.
