WAR CONTINUES ON CHICKEN THIEVES IN CAROLINE AND OTHER COUNTIES IN THE STATE Several thousand poultrymen in the State have aheady adopted a tattoo bianding system which is being sponsored by Poultry Associations in all the thirteen Noitheastern States. A i i system has been worked out among these states in co-operation with the State Police, Sheriffs and poultry buyers. This tattoo system has worked successfully in various states for the past ten years. It is a proven fact that shotguns, dogs, alarm and other means of home protections have failed.

Each year I poultrymen have lost thousands of jdollats fiom thievery and up to the present time they have been unable combat this menace alone. Now all poultiy men are uniting to exterminate the worst of all thieves--the Poultry Thieves. Let us all do our part as we now have the oppoitunity to protect ourselves in a united effort. Each poultry- man in Mie state will be interviewed and given a full explanation of this movement.

Wise of the Marj- The type of road planned costs from land Farm Bureau Federation, praised to $5,000 per mile -and lends Mr. Dryden for his appioval of the plans and urged Governor Nice to back these projects. He asserted that this in no way endangered the state load program but was an entiiely sep- a i a project.

Ceitain hpceific funds have been hot aside by the- net appiopriatmg the $4,800,000,00 for use on highways, roads, bridges, streets and grade crossing elimination. These projects have been carefully selected in Maryland and the funds allotted. The Farm-to-Markct road project will be financed fiom funds other than those already set aside and Maryland will be foitunate if this additional ib-clf to the idief program as well or better than other suggested projects. A laigo proportion of the money spent will go for labor, the plans are easily made and readily earned out thereby providing a means of quick action for unemployment relief. There is pressing need for better Farm-to-Market loads in Maryland and care has been exercised in the selection of the roads to be improved and practically all are mail or school bus routes.

The construction of these roads will help hundreds of Maryland farm people to sccuic a tar lound road, consequently this program will be beneficial to and welcomed by the people in every county in the fatate.

2 Unless the New York Yankees come tlitough with a baseball miracle, the World Series will open in Detroit on Wednesday, October 2. This was decided last Tuesday at a meeting of representatives of five clubs still having a mathematical chance of victory in tho two major leagues, with Kenesaw Mountain Landis, commissioner of baseball, acting as chairman. No Open Dates Unless Normally, the 1335 series would open in the city winning the National League championship, but because of a large convention scheduled for St. Louis and the complicated championship lace in the senior major league, it- was decided to stage the opening in the American League city. Thus, the Na- ional League will have an oppor- unity to handle a sale of tickets as it was figured that the championship might not be determined until the last lay of the season, as it was a year ago.

The World Series schedule agreed upon provides that the first and sec- nd games will be played in the Amer- can League city, with, games three, bur and five in the home park of the National League champions. If games six and seven are needed the teams will move back to the American League city. There will be no open dates for traveling unless the Yankees nose out the Tigers in the American League race. No Single-Game Tickets The prices of tickets will be for box seats, $5.50 for reserved grandstand, $3.30 for general grandstand and $1.10 for bleachers, tax included. If the Cardinals triumph there will be an additional one per cent Missouri State tax added.

Seats may le purchased in blocks of three; that is, for three games. No tickets for single games will be sold. AH games will start at 1:30 p. m. standard time.

If rain forces a postponement the clubg will remain to play the game the next day, so thi. schedule will not be disrupted. The question of a commercial broadcast, for which was received last year wsas left to Commissioner Landis for final decision. In addition to arranging the schedule and other details, Commissioner Lan dis named players of four teams eligible to participate in the series--tin Cardinals, Cubs and Giants in the Na tional League and the Tigers in the American League. Besides Commissioner Landis, those attending the meeting were Ford Frick, president of the Nationa League; William Harridge, president of the American League, who also repiesented the New Yoik Yankees President P.

K. Wrigley and Vice President John O. Seys, of the Cubs Ja-mes Tierncy, secretary of the Giants; Sam Breadon, president of the Cardinals, and Frank J. and Charles Navin, president and secretary of the Tigers 1 Small Storage Cellars Practical On Farms One practical and economical meth- of keeping certain vegetables and ruits during the winter months, is by leans of a barrel or wood packing ox storage cellar which may be con- tructud at home at low cost. This ype of cellar will serve very well as stoiagc place for such vegetables nd fruits as apples, pears, turmps, abbages, beets, cariots, parsnips and otatocs.

Care should be exercised in select- ng thu bite for the cellar as the con- ents. must bo kept cool and moist and et must not be permitted to freeze, this reason a well drained hillside fith a southern exposure is ideal but this cannot be found the box or bar- el may be placed on its side on flat ground, provided it is well insulated gainst heat and cold. Whore hill- ide can be used the box or barrel is laced irr a horizontal position against t. Before the box or barrel is put into position the inside is carefully lined vith a heavy grade of paper and it is divided into two, throe, or four com- jartments so that the fruit or vege- ables can be kept separated. Next, the container is put into position and is well insulated with eaves, or straw and earth.

A layer of eaves or straw is put on first, then about three inches of earth, then a second layer of straw or leaves, and finally, as severe weather approaches, a second layer of dirt. If a barrel is used the head will he found useful as a door to the cellar. To provide accessibility only leaves or straw are banked over the head of the sarrel. Earth may be added for safety when colder weather arrives. NOTICE Beginning October 1, 1935, I will conduct Public Stenogiapher's office, with headquarters in the offices of We-iley E.

MILDRED BREEDING BUTLER.

SHOW BOAT WILL BE AT DENTON ON MONDAY The original floating theatre will be docked at Denton on Monday, September 23rd, making its appearance here while on its twenty-second annual tour of the Choptank River. The company was formerly known as the James Adams' Floating Theatre, and is said to be the inspiration for Edna Ferber's best selling novel, "Show Boat." Plays and features are new and Charlie Hunter and Bculah Adams vVho have been popular as the heads of the previous casts, are again with the troupe, and the company is larger than on previous appearances. Pat Gallagher will stage a musical comedy revue featuring Bob Fisher's Show Boat Orchestra after each main show. The program is as follows: Monday, "I Want the Moon;" Tuesday, "Mr. Jim Baily;" Wednesday, "The Girl Who Kan Away;" Thursday, "Why Wives Worry;" Friday, "The Only Road;" Saturday, "The Man From Texas." The feature play of'the evening will begin at 8:15 p.

m. each night, and the concert is scheduled for 10:10 p. m. At one time there was a grand fleet of twenty-two show boats operating on the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers. Today there are but three in the United States--two on the Ohio and the original Floating Theatre, which is said to be the most perfectly equipped show boat in the United States.

The company, in addition to excellent dramatic offering, includes vaudeville and musical comedy talent of high order and an. orchestra of exceptional merit. DENTONIA ATTRACTIONS Monday night is again "Lucky" night and let it bo said to the credit of the management that no cheap, shoddy shows arc being played on these "Lucky" nights. This can best be illustrated by the one to be shown this week, which will be the Cosmopolitan comedy, "Page Miss Glory," with Marion Davies in the stellar role and a supporting cast composed of more than a score of Hollywood stars and featured players, and which will also be plaed Tuesday night. Millions dream live anew as Grace Moore, with all the glory of her God-given voice, brings new hours of thrilling entertainment! Thu divine star of "One Night of Love" returns to the Dentonia Theatre on Wednesday and Thursday, September 25-26, in her newest and greatest triumph, Columbia's "Love Me Forever." A girl--from the lap of luxury! A man--up from the gutter! Thrown together--torn apart! It's stirring drama as Grace Moore and Leo Carrillo battle against the fates.

Perhaps it's a coincidence, but Robert Montgomery--who is a gentleman farmer in his own right--spent two weeks on a farm during the filming of the new Mctro-Goldyn-Mayer picture, "Hide-Out," which shows at the Dentonia Theatre Friday and Saturday, September 20-21. "They call mo a gentleman farmer," ho said, "but I don't mind it a bit. I rather like it. There's an art in being a gentleman, and there's an art in being a farmer. Perhaps I am a novice at both.

At least, I feel that I am an elementary pupil in one, the art of farming. My own farm is in Putnam County, New York. I bought it there because I was born thirty miles from it and I went to school fifteen miles from it" ORPHANS' COURT PROCEEDINGS The Orphans' Court for Caroline County met in regular session on Tuesday, with Judges Towers, Handy and Dennis present. The following business was examined and passed: Mary A. V.

Snow, administratrix of Rebecca C. Voshell, deceased, filed list of debts due to said estate. Alton Elrick, administrator of Miriam W. Elrick, deceased, filed inventory and appraisement of the personal property of said deceased, and an order to sell the same was granted. W.

Arthur Sculley, guardian of Jo- Beph II. Pony minor, filed a new bond upon the cancellation of the other bonds filed in this case. THE BAER-LOUIS FRACAS Next Tuesday one Maxie Bacr will climb into the ring to face one Joe Louis, the idea being to see which can knock the other down and emerge as the "logical" opponent for one James J. Braddock for the so-called heavyweight championship. Passing over lightly the obvious fact that a full-sized gorilla would be the logical opponent of any pretending champion we call attention to the public that a radio broadcast of the fight will be dispatched over a nationwide hook-up, beginning at ten o'clock Eastern daylight time.

We are no boxing expert but the Detroit Negro looks like a formidable antagonist and we would not be surprised if he managed to take the measure of Mr. Bacr. Whether he does or not is a matter of no concern, however, and we don't care two hoots which man wins. There are, however, many who will be intensely interested. A fight between the two, broadcast, will probably repeat the experience of the nation during the Jack Johnson era, stir up some racial feeling and cause a few fights.

Whether there is any good to be obtained is doubtful and we see little sense in the promotion of such bouts. Good Food For Sound Thinkers Fear is an untrustworthy guardian of constancy, but a kindly heart is faithful even unto the end of the Let us then be what we are, speak what we think, and in all things keep ourselves loyal to Discords disappear as mist before the sun when the understanding of God takes the place of ignorance; when love and faith wipe out fear; and self-will and self-sufficiency are set Science Monitor..
