Lee Alan Sharp, son of Mr. C. L. Sharp, who has Just returned from France, spent several niontlis with the A. E.

first as instructor In radio telegrapny and signalling and later as engineer in charge ol construction. Mr. Sharpe enlisted while residing In Chicago as an electrical engineer with the well-known Sessions Engineering Compay. He went to France in September, 1917. as a member of the Black Hawk, of 86th division, from Illinois.

Soon after arriving in France he was transferred to the army service corps, and for several months he was Instructor in the American school for training men for radio telegraph and signal service. Just before the armistice was signed he was ordered to the reserve trenches on the battle front, but did not have an opportunity to advance further, before the order to cease fighting wag given. After the armistice was signed Mr. Sharpe was made master electrical engineer and placed in charge of a construction organization. He select, ed about forty expert electricians from his division, in addition to a labor detail qf about one hundred men.

These men were engaged in electrical construction and operation of electrical plants at camps until the order to move homeward came. During the weeks following the armistice Mr. Sharp and his company constructed eight electric power plants at camps and operated four -of this number. They were in the American embarkation center in the era of LeMans. These plants were equipped with great gasoline engines, consuming about 160 gallons of gas each twelve hours, and they were operated for the purpose of generating current for lights and power at the camps.

This makes the -total state and county tax amount to $1.25 on each as nr- atively with the State department of $100.00 valuation. Kennett Square, July 1. Davis W. Entrlken, who died at his home here last- week in his ninety-fourth year was the Inventor of the first mowing machine In successful use In this country, and in faot of the first horse-driven mower used" in the world. It was mors than sixty-five years ago that Mr.

Entrlken invented a harvesting machine, and he did his work so well that the principles he utilized at that early d.ty are stll found on ail the mowers made since. The. heavy yields of the Pennsylvania bay fields In the vicinty of Philadelphia brought to the farmers the problem of harvesting their crops in good condition in the face of what even then was regarded aa a scarcity of "hands" and the high wages paid to men in the harvest fields. So at the Importunity of a large number of farmers who knew-of Mr. Entrl-ken's mechanical skill, the young machinist, then Just thru his apprenticeship to a cross-roads country agricultural implement repairer, undertook the big task of breaking the combine of the harvest workers.

He had studied the need of the farmers and had picked out the shortcomings ofcone of two inventors who had tried to meet the farmer's harvest needs, so he in a sense ready er the task. Thru an analysis of the cutting power of a razor he found his first clue to the mower. He then soon ds-covered that he must add saw teeth to his grass knives, and it was logical that there must be a cutter-bar wherein the knife -could be operated laterally at rapid velocity. With guards on his bar to protect the knives, and give them an object against which they could cut he had solved the problem. The velocity of the knives was readily obtained thru cog gearings on the drive wheels.

The young inventor worked long hours, for while at the mower he did other Jobs that 'came to his shop. He showed his cutter to several farmers and, with the same experience of other Inventors, was assured that grass could not be cut except by in some way. imitating the sweep of the old hand scythe. He. however, was not In the least dissuaded and in less than ten days he had rigged up a rustic-looking contrivance that was heavy enough to -reduire the services of three horses to draw it thru the hay field.

There were a great many farmers to witness the first test of the mower, which, to everybody's delight and the Inventor's satisfaction agriculture, tne experiment station and This county has an increase of siim, expressing us position in me router 'of designating the old plank ru'ad a the inter-city highway con-tig winston-Salem and High I'o lit The matter was brought up i ihe presentation of resolutions from Notary Board of Trade and Etiil Merchants' Association, asking that the board approve the selection of this route.

Entriken's intention to give the device to. the farmers, not realizing that he had made a machine almost aa important to agriculturists as was the cotton gin to the Southern planters. He, consequently, did not take out any letters patent and in a short time it had been seized upon by all the manufacturers of agricultural implements. The real inventor soon found himself unable to cope with manufacturers with larger plants, and he was literally driven out of business by his rivals, who used his invention in all mowing machines and eventually for reapers The mower attracted the widest Interest In all farm communities of the country, and Mr. Entrlken.

who rarely speke of the experience, stated that at the outset he had been offered a royalty the equivalent of $20 for each machine which In the ensuing quarter of a century would have netted him at least $10,000,000. However, on this point the Inventor never complained. Hie only disappointment lay in the fact that the farmers for whom he had -invented the mower were obliged to pay more for the machines than he had hoped.
