To Enlarge the Navy-Yard.

Additional land is needed for the pur-
poses of this naval station. 1t is probaple
that Congress will Immediately be asked
to authorize the purchase OF a tract az
Joining the present confines of the navy
yard
This land is now occupied by the golt
links. and it is believed that it can be Sc
cured without the necessity of condemna-
ton proceedings. II is, in the opinion OF
the naval officers who have examined 1t,
the most available plat that can be pro-
cured for the purpose to which 1t Will pc
put.
The many acres contained in the walls
of the navy yard are crowded with build
ings docks and ways, and t,has quite re-
Gently been found necessary to artiticially
increase the water front of the yard by
converting the old timber dock into a lay
UP basin Of sufficient depth to accommo-
date the big ships
The construction Of the great 700 foot
dry dock. already authorized, has been
held up for months on account Of the lack
of land upon which to locate it.
There are many improvements besides
that of the new dry dock that are to be
placed on the addition to the yards area.
A rifle range. upon which the sailors and
marines may practice, is Il prime necessi-
ty. Should former conditions be restored
and the North Atlantic Squadron be
brought up to it's old-time strength the
docking facilities at this yard, should the
700 foot dock be completed, would be
hopelessly Observation-Disclosures Star.

INTERESTING ORGANIZATION.
Eastern Shore Produce Exchange and
What 1t Has Done.


What 1t Has Done.
The success of the organization started
a few months ago for the betterment oi
the condition Of our farmers. known as
the Eastern Shore Produce Exchange is
now assured beyond all question 1T not
only did not languiSh and die as some
predicted and hoped it would before the
potato season was half over last year
but continued to grow in favor WIN the
farmers from the beginning to the enc OF
the season. and this year starts out with
a yigor. showing that it is very much
alive and that better things even may
be expected through it's operations TINS
season
That is has such vitality though, is
what we ought to have expected An or
ganization which not only saved 10 the
people of the Eastern Shore tens OF thou
sands of dollars in the better prices real
lied by them through it for the produce
sent to market last year, but which maze
for them forty cents on every dollar IN
vested by them in it, of course. could not
fail to receive that support which gives
it renewed the life and viSor at the be-
ginning of another year.
That it will continue to grow and -four
ish we believe, and we could not believe
otherwise without rejecting upon the in
telligence of our people. Oppressed and
Impoverished as they have been by the
ways in which they have marketed their
produce in the past. of course they could
not, in the exercise of a wise discretion
return to them. Realizing as they do the
good which the Exchange has already
done. they cannot fail to see that it is
their duty to stand by it and help it
along to greater success in the future.
and we do not believe we could do our
people a greater service than by cOnvinc-
ing them that it is their duty TO do So

day YOU can see the grasshoppers climb
up a mullen stalk and look With tears

starvation, and the turkey buzzard had

But there is county in Virginia which
can beat that. There the land is so sterile
that when the wind is at the northwest
they have to tie the children TO keep
them from being blown away; there it
