but critical investor looks to the adj
vertising columns for substantial evil
dence of push and life. To him they

sity Of public warmth: they are the
pulse which indicates the healthy con-
dition of the collective body of the peo-
pie: they tell him whether or not the
community is up to the times in bust
ness matters.

upon for appendicitis Sunday afternoon

In it's query column the Baltimore
News gives the following pointers to a
stranger who sought information about
the Eastern Shore: las to the class of
people who live there well, only a stran-
ger in Baltimore would ask that. This
.'gyarden spot of the world" is inhabited
by the finest people in the world. They
are hospitable. they are generous, and

even the faintest touch of sarcasm, which
usually characterizes the utterances of
the editors Of this enterprising journal
when referring to the Eastern Shore
and its people. If the inquiring stranger
