came tiresome. The boys made their
own fun, one way and another.
He told about a former beer
salesman who was a practical joker
and disliked the strange insects and
creatures that made noises and ran
over the whole area at night.
A day came when a special issue
of three can of beer was dished
out. Using three empty cans, the
boys rugged up a thing that rode
on a cocoanut and had ~antennae.
That night Scott pulled a long
string and brought the contraption
slowly across the ground from the
next tent and under the edge of
the tent where he and the former
salesman were in their sacks. 4
third mar rubbed ~cocoanut shells
together to produce a rasping sound.
The victim lit a candle and in the
dim light saw the strange, moving
thing. Grabbing a shovel he made
a pass and hit it. "Blood and pus
all over the ground!" he shouted.
But the thing kept on moving
toward Scott. The victim of the
joke made another pass with the
shovel and cut Scott's net and sack.
The commotion drew quick investi-
cation from officers and the cause
was determined.
For quite awhile afterward that
night there were smokers coming
from the many tents.
The three speakers were introduc-
ed by G.. w. Laird of the program
committee.

Refugees to Get
Now Idle Farms
Propose to Replace Those
Who Left by Homeless
From Across Sea. p

CHICAGO.-Refugees from across
the Atlantic may replace Americas
youth who left the farms for the
bright lights and big city life in the
last six years. A movement already
is under way in Minnesota to see
what jobs and housing facilities are
open to Europe's displaced persons.
North Dakota has made such a
survey. Iowa is about to begin one.
South Dakota, Wisconsin, Nebraska
and Montana will shortly follow
suit.
Back of the project are the state
department, the Citizens Committee
on Displaced Persons, the Catholic
hierarchy, the National Catholic
Rural Life conference, the National
Lutheran council and many other
Protestant denominations.
Project Explained.
Edwin R. Armstrong, New York
City representative of the Citizens
Committee on Displaced Persons,
explains the project thus:
Close to 100, 1000 European D. P.s
could be successfully resettled In
these seven North Central states
with relatives or others of the same
national background and religious
affiliations.
All of the refugees would be thor
oughly screened by the army,
church and welfare agencies and
would have to meet all health re-
quirements of the immigration
laws.
In these North Central states
there has been a population loss of
1875, 900 persons in the last six years.
Young people have almost en-
tirely migrated elsewhere. The av-

said, "would live, by invitation,
where there is already room for
them and jobs waiting.
"They will resettle the great
farm areas where there has been
such a mass exodus"
Armstrong Replies.
Armstrong blamed "city think
ing" for any existing resentment
toward the project, which, as the
Stratton bill, is now before congress
and will be presented to the full
session in January.
He refuted the lefty thinking OBJ

Vow Of Passion PLAY

The Oberammergau Passion play
is presented once every 10 years to
fulfil a vow made by the inhabitants
OF the village in 1853. According to
encyclopaedia Britannica, Oberam-
mergau was striker with the
scourge of the Black Death in that
year. To express their gratitude
when the plague ended, the villagers
vowed to enact the passion and
death of Christ every 10 years, and
the first performance was given in
1884.

PROTECTION

Americans have been under the impression that there is
plenty of natural rubber. Now, with synthetic production a
mere trckle of what it was during the war, a pinch if felt.
Last summer there was so much natural rubber that the
prices slumped below the quotation for synthetic, and govern
ment officials in charge Of synthetic production gave the signal
to slow down. AS a result synthetic production is so per cent
lower than it was last July. Now Withdrawals of rubber from
the governments stock pile have been found necessary, says
the ndependent-Record
Government inventories of 121,000 tons last March have
been cut nearly one half. An effort is being made to restore
synthetic production. Having learned a lesson, it is hoped,
America should be more careful in the future about making
grandiose gestures to foreign producers by big-heartedly turn
ing off synthetic plants. They are this nations protection both
as to supply and price.

Appointment of Miss Alice Mar

lower eastern shore. He predicts
a considerable spread of the dis
ease from these areas into Della
ware as well as from locally in
fected areas in the state, particul-
arly if cool, wet weather contin-
ues.
Research by the Delaware Agri-
cultural Experiment Station has
shown fungicides will control late
blight, with spraying more effect
i've than busting.
Applications should be weekly on
potatoes and tomatoes as long as
the weather remains favorable for
development of the disease. On
tomatoes, applications should be
continued during normal weather
conditions on a ten-day schedule to
also control early blight and an
thracnose.
For sprays Dithana z-78 or
Parzate are recommended at the
rate of two pounds to 100 gallons
of water, or a fixed copper at a

DR.. Heuberger had reported earl
