Produce Exchange.

The Board of Directors of the Penin-
sula Produce Exchange of Maryland,
met at the General Office. Pocomoke
City, Md, on Thursday Dec. Sth. at
which time it was decided not to pay
any dividend on the stock this year.
The Secretary and Treasurer made his
report of the operations of the past year
showing the quantity of goods handled
by the Exchange during the past season.
The report shows the handling of over
fifty thousand barrels of Irish potatoes,
but not so many barrels of sweets; the
cultivation of this crop being confined
almost solely to the extreme lower part
of Worcester County. which borders on
the line of Virginia.
The shipments of cantaloupes was
very heavy around Salisbury The
Exchange is now arranging to handle
all of these goods possible on {. o. b.
basis next season, which will be more
satisfactory to the growers than throw
ing them all on the New York market
as in the past. AS the Exchange was
not organized until late in the year, the
management of the Exchange was not
prepared to handle berries and small
fruits. However, during the coming
season. the Exchange will do a large
business in this line.
The statement of the operations by
the Virginia Exchange shows a much
larger business than that handled by
our Exchange. but we believe our farm
ers will now engage in this work more
largely and with more enthusiasm than
they have in the past. Take for instance
the shipment of sweet potatoes, (which
is the most reliable crop our farmers
can grow the Virginia Exchange
handled 490,363 barrels more of these
goods than our Exchange. The manage.
ment of the Exchange now realize the
great benefits TO be derived by the grow
ing of this crop and are encouraging it's
cultivation. The most of our soil is
especially adapted TO the growing of the
sweet potatoe. Our potatoes were con-
sidered the finest on the market this
season.

 ances Of Our Best Moments
 The sermon in Yale chapel yesterday was delivered by the Rev. Dr. Mac Dowell of New York. His mode of speaking is quiet and scholarly but there is an evident strength behind it His calm, deliberate words are filled with earnestness. The text told of the time that Christ stood in the synagogue and read the words .sThe spirit of the Lord is upon Me- with a personal ap- pIication and an emphasis at which his auditors must have wondered. The sermon began with the noble words of Phillips Brooks, If. I were an artist ] would rather paint a great portrait than anything else. If I were a writer would write great biographies. Be- ing neither I can only live the noblest life possible.' ; These words of Brooks were significant of his whole character With this emphasis on the word Me Christ publicly announced Himself tc the world, at the moment of His best The words which one speaks at the moment of crisis go far to determine WlldJ hIlu sOL d IIitil CIlc lS tO DSs l ue speaker of a Gettysburg address will be a noble sort of man.
