Townsend Plants 
Ten Times Better Than 
Michigan Plants 
Lewis Creek. Indiuna, 
March 7, 1921 
E. W. Townsend <fc Son, 
Salisbury, Md. 
Dear Sirs . 
Three years ago I sent to you 
and purchased 1500 Strawberry 
Plants and they all grew line. 
I raised some of the best berrys 
in the county; people come 
miles to get them. So last year 
my brother was going to set a 
patch Hiid I persuaded him to 
send part of his order to you, 
and when the plants arrived 
they weie in line condition, 
lint at the same lime he sent 
to a Company in Michigan, and 
when the plants come they 
were planted, but they did not 
have the roots on them that 
the Townsend Plants bad and 
did not grow off so nice. And 
today the Townsend Plants 
look about ten times better 
than the others. 
Yours truly, 
W. E. DRAKE. 
EVENTS OF THE WEEK 
DOMESTIC. — Fairbanks, Alaska, is 
enjoying its first real mining sensation in 
years with the discovery of gold on 
Coeomo Creek, within three miles of town. 
This is the first time gold has been found 
on Coeomo Creek since prospecting started 
there in 1916. 
The entire State of Texas was released 
from quarantine for sheep scabies March 
24 by the Department of Agriculture, tlm 
order becoming effective April 15. 
One of the worst March storms in many 
years, with high winds and record drops 
in temperature, struck New York and the 
States of the north Atlantic seaboard 
March 2S, coming out of the west on the 
heels of freezing weather that lias caused 
damage to property and early fruit crops 
in Middle Western and Southwestern 
States estimated at many millions of dol¬ 
lars. In Oklahoma alone the State Board 
of Agriculture estimated that the low tem¬ 
perature of the night had damaged the 
fruit crop to the extent of about $11,- 
090.000. with 75 per cent of the crop 
ruined. Similar losses were reported from 
Kansas. Arkansas, Texas, Missouri and 
Southwestern Michigan. Grain crops in 
Kansas. Nebraska. Iowa and other Mid¬ 
dle Western States also were badly dam¬ 
aged^ 
Prison terms were imposed on four in¬ 
dividuals, and the W. G. Cornell Com¬ 
pany, Inc., a plumbing corporation that 
does an annual business of $2,500,000, 
was ordered to pay a fine of $10,000 by 
Justice John V. McAvoy in the Supreme 
Court. New York. March 28. All were 
found guilty of violation of the Donnelly 
anti-trust law in prosecutions that grew 
out of the Lockwood committee investiga¬ 
tion. They were members of the Master 
Plumbers’ Association. 
The Olympia Athletic Club, Philadel¬ 
phia, Pa., and eight houses in its rear 
were completely destroyed by fire March 
29. A boxing exhibition had been held 
at the Olympia the previous night, which 
about 5.000 spectators attended. The 
club was situated in the central part of 
the city. Early estimates placed the 
damage at approximately $100,000. 
The New Jersey House by a vote of 67 
to 16. March 29, overrode Governor Ed¬ 
wards’ veto of the State constabulary 
bill, designed to establish a police force 
of 200 officers and men in the State of 
New Jersey. It is well known that the 
chief opposition to the bill came from 
labor organizations. The House also 
overrode the veto of Governor Edwards 
of the State prohibition enforcement bill 
by a vote of 43 to 13. The bill becomes 
a law as soon as it is filed with the Sec¬ 
retary of State. It provides for a fine of 
$500 or six months in jail for violations 
similar to the Volstead act, and that of¬ 
fenders must be tried by county judges, 
without juries. 
Five men entered the City Bank of St. 
Paul. Minn.. March 29. struck down the 
cashier and a woman teller with the butts 
of their revolvers and escaped with cash 
and bonds valued at $20,000. The bank 
is in the center of an outlying business 
quarter. Three patrons were lined up 
against a wall, but were not otherwise 
molested. 
Manufacture and storage of fireworks 
in a manner prohibited by city ordinances 
were blamed March 29 by Chicago city 
and police officials for an explosion in the 
heart of the West Side tenement district 
which killed at least eight persons, in¬ 
jured 100 or more, rendered dozens tem¬ 
porarily homeless and‘damaged buildings 
blocks away. • Two men were held in jail 
in connection with the explosion, and two 
others, possibly killed, were sought by the 
police.
