BOYS ADRIFT ON
OCEAN OVER NIGHT
Sons Of Prominent George
town Families Caught in
Darkness on Way Home

GEORGETOWN. Aug. 25.--Caught out
side the waterways that line the Delaware
coast in a sman naphtha launch and un-
able to make the entrance on account OF
the darkness. six well-known Georgetown
young men were compelled to stay all
night on. the Atlantic ocean in a tossing
sea and expecting every moment that
their frail craft would capsize. The boys
were Carlton and Warren Fooks. sons OF
the cashier OF the Farmers Bank; James
Boyce. son OF Judge William Boyce OF the
Superior Court bench Thomas Robinson
Alfred Carey and Otis Warrington.
They started from Oak Orchard on the
Indian river for Ocean City. Md. The
trip there was made all right through
the bays and canals that run parallel
with the ocean abng the coast Forget
ting the difficulty in getting back, the
boys stayed later than they intended at
Ocean City, and when they started on
their homeward trip it was getting quite
dark.
When they crossed a bar and got into
the ocean they discovered that they could
not find the entrance into the next reach
along the coast For some time they trid
to hnd the opening. but,with rough sea
every attempt was dangerous and, finally.
with the might pitch dark, they decided
that the best thing to do was TO stay out
side until morning came to light their
way.
With the little launch pitching and toss
ing, tn boys clung to their precarious
position, keeping steadily at work bailng
water out Of the craft Fortunately no
storm came up. and about a. m. after
an ugly experience on the ocean. it grew
light enough for them to find the opening
IN the bay, and they made their way 10
Oak Orchard without accident
Their friends and parents were over
joyed TO see them, as their absence all
night had aroused fears that they had
been swamped.

IRRIGATION ON
EASTERN SHORE
Engineer Says 1t Would Be
Practical and Mean Much
to Farmers
WOULD MAKE
DROUGHTS UNKNOWN

BALTIMORE. Aug. 25-'Is irriga-
tion practical on the Eastern Shore OF
Maryland"
This question was asked Daniel
Banks. who was recently appointed
hydraulic engineer Of Baltimore. and
who for several years has devoted a
portion OF his time 70 the construction
Of irrigation dams, laying Of pipes ara
digging trenches in Southern Cali
fornia,. where the distribution Of water
over arid areas reached its highest
stage OF perfection.
Irrigation is not oriy practical on
the Eastern Shore" replied Mr.. Banks
"but it would prove to be a profitable
enterprise. II would make the East
ern Shore a vertiable Garden Of Eden,'
drouths would be known no more, and
millions Of dollars would be saved dur
ing those years. and the years are FREE
quent when drouths occur. I am told
that the loss in the strawberry crop
this year on the Eastern Shore was in
excess Of a million dollars, because OF
the drought. / am confident that there
were even greater losses for the san q
cause on early vegetables and on corn.
have often wondered why the people
Of the Eastern Shore did not irrigate
their lands"
Not Expensive.
"But Is Il not too expensive?"
"The cost would not be one-half that
in California. In many cases am
sure the cost would not be one-thiid.
or one-fourth. or even one-hfth Of the
cost in the far West"
Are you familiar with the topo-
graphy and streams Of the Eastern
Shore?"
Il am familiar with the Eastern
Shore. know that it is a fiat country.
I know that It is gridironed with creeks
and streams, many of which have been
damned. The water rover was used
formerly. and at present, too, in many
cases. to operate saw and grist mills
These dams could form the nucleus
OF higher dams for the storage of
water. BY utilizing these old dams
one big item Of cost IS solved. The
dams could still be used to generate
water power for mills
II is Also Practical.
But how is irrigation practical on
the Eastern Shore?"
1T IS practical in several ways. Tn,
water could be lifted on the hydraulic
principle and then distributed by pipes
either on or under the surface. Tht
water. could be damned to a height
above the surrounding country anl
then distributed by bitches through the
/ farms. This is the cheapest and mos
| practical plan. There are other syn
tens which could be employed, all o
which are wholly feasible and les
ocstly than the system employed Il
California The water on the Easter
Shore would cost nothing, while II
some sections Of California the farmer
pay for It.
do you think Eastern Shore farmer
and truckers win ever avail themselve
Of irrigation?"
Yes. They are an intelligent an,
shrewd people. and If irrigation ono
gets a eoothold II will be adopted gen
orally. When one Eastern Shoremai
sees the benefits derived by the expert
ment he win be quick 10 grasp II ang
equally ouiqS to follow the example o.

Giving is Getting.

The old proverb-writer uttered a
great truth when he said that there
was a giving that tended to increase
and a withholding that tended to
poverty. Giving and receiving are
not two different things; the one
means the other. There is, in the
divine economy, a great principle of
exchange by which giving and receiv-
ing are coincident. Especially is this
principle operative in the moral and
spiritual realm.
The most significant thing in life
and development Is hospitality. We
open the doors of our heart and life
to ennobling and inspiring visitors.
We give of our capacity; but how
much more do we get. God asks
us to give our hearts. We do so and
how much more We get. Jesus
Christ asks us to give Him a place
in our life. We give it, but the re-
suit is not a giving after all so much
as it is a getting.
Be hospitable then. Be h%ospitable
to all the divine influences Of life,
and let it not be a narrow, grudging
hospitality. Be h%ospitable to God;
to Jesus Christ. Give Them your
best rooms. Let Them be your guests,
and They will give you Themselves
in return.
Giving is getting, and the greater
the investment the greater the re-
turn.-Rev. C. S. Mcfarland, in
Christian Work and Evangelist.

FRESH AIR AT NIGHT.

1t seems a great pity that with
plenty of fresh air all about us, we
should not make the fullest use OF It.
But, as a matter of fact, there are
very few who, for twenty-four hours
each day, breathe air that is in the
best condition for purifying the blood
when taken into the lungs. AS a con-
sequence, the bodies of those even
who consider themselves well, to say
nothing of the feeble, are not in the
best condition to withstand any dis
ease that may attack them. This is
undoubtedly true of all diseases, but
is especially marked In the Gaze OF
tuberculosis. Many of us can re-
member when this disease was re-
garded with almost patient fatalism
the one stricken was to be made as
comfortable as possible, and the end
awaited.
Common sense has even taken us
a step farther, and proclaimed the
idea that the breathing Of pure air
both night and day will put the hu-
man body in the very best shape to
resist the attacks of disease, whether
It be tuberculosis or something else.
Impressed with this idea, the State Of

"Can't Hold Out"

Jesse Pullen was a reformed and
converted drunkard. One of his old
drinking companions expressed a fear
that he would not be able to hold out.
To this Pullen said:
You know that I run a little
steamer in the summer. l don't wait
until 1 get up enough steam to carry
me across the Sound before I start.
1t would blow the boat all to pieces.
The boiler wouldn't stand it. But
when l get about twenty pounds Of
steam up, I sing out: All right,
captain, 60 ahead Down in the hold
1 have plenty of coal, and as fast as
we use up the steam we make more;
and so we go across the Sound, though
we never have more than twenty or
thirty pounds at any one time. Now
the Lord Jesus, when He US,
doesn't start us off with enough grace
for a lifetime. Poor human nature
couldn't stand it, l suppose. But He
wipes out ell our past sins and gives
us just grace enough for one days
duty. But, mind you, He provides
plenty of fuel to make more grace,
even the Bible and prayer and the
Holy Spirit; and so, kept and shell
tered in His arms of love, we have
grace and help in time Of need

Most Inhuman Influence.

Not long since, Magistrate Whit
man, of New York City, in addressing
the New York Lawyers Club, was
moved to make a most scathing ar
raignment of the liquor traffic. He
said: PERSONALLY, If I had the power,
I would close every saloon In the
United States, and I am not a crank
or fanatic on the liquor question.
drink myself, whenever I care to, and
probably shall continue to do so.
am willing that every other man shall
have the same rights that I have.
But when you sit on the bench that
I sit on and see seventy per cent. OF
the cases which come before you, and
see the misery, distress and crime, all
due to liquor selling-I say, any man
with red blood in his veins is likely
to feel that the world would b. in
fnitely better off If the liquor sa-
looms could be crushed out, cost what
1t may. I believe 1t is the most
abominable, the most outrageous and
the most inhuman influence in New
York City to-day"
