iShing condition, and besides declaring
the usual Semi-annual dividend of three
per cent, added large sum to its surplus.
An interesting and spectacular per-
torrance which ShepherdStown folks
and residents OF the Shenandoah Valley
MAY enjoy is being planned-an air-ship
flight between New York and Atlanta by
way OF the national highway route. II
VIII be recalled that last year there were
two thrilling automobile runs between
these cities over the route known as the
national highway, passing through Shep-
herdstown and the full length of the
Shenandoah Valley. Now it is said that
an aeroplane flight is being planned for
the same course, a distance OF 900 or
LOCO miles. The idea is to have night
and dinner stops for the air voyagers Just
as was the case for the automobiles.
Huge sums OF money will be offered as
prizes for the contestants.

Rogers, formed a beautiful sight on
the Potomac last night. Hun
dreds of persons crowded the Gov

Each of the canoes in the parade
was decorated with japanese lanterns.
Spars raised from stem and stern of the
boats. with lines attached. made possible
the hanging of lanterns in clusters
Circles, figure eights, diagonals and
twists and turns back on their course,

1t was o'clock when the procession
left the pier. and 1t was just an hour
later that the canoes tied up again
at the club house. Dancing closed the

Headed by Representative George w.

today at Pen Mar. Pa.
Practically all of the grand lodge Of
ficers of the District were on the train.
The principal speaker today is Repre-

Of the Odd Fellows Grand Lodge of
Nebraska. Another speaker is former
Governor Warfield, of Maryland. Col.

Campers Are Facing
A Vegetable Famine
amount UP to $40. 90.

WashinEton's camping colony and
the hundreds of cottagers at Chesa-
peake Beach and North Beach. are fac.
ilg a famine in vegetables.
For q week or more tomatoes, corn,
cabbage, and other vegetables, usually
so abundant on the Eastern Shore, can
not be obtained for love or money.
There is not a fresh vegetable to be
found.
Every day. when the Eastern Shore
and Baltimore boats come in, hundreds
of mothers rush to the wharf and beg
end plead with the captain to bring
vegetables, but the captain can not.
The produce market has dropped away
to nothing. Meats and canned goods
are alright at home, but they don't ap-
peal to the next-to-nature livers, who
want their food plucked fresh from
Mother Earth.
Never before in the history of the
Eastern Shore have truck conditions
been as bad as they are at present.
There are no winter potatoes, and no
corn. 1t is nearly impossible to geG
truck down from Washington, although
the campers and cottagers would pay
almost any price for fresh vegetables.
The country for miles around had been
burnt up during the unprecedented dry
weather and swept clear. Fresh toma-
ioes would fetch a fabulous sum II they
could be obtained at the beach.
Ia years past, the campers have been
supplied direct with vegetables, chick
ems, and other delicaCies from the farms
adjacent to the beach. Prices were
ridiculously low, and when the Eastern
Shore beat came in one could obtain
vegetables for next to nothing. Corn
was a few cents a dozen, and water
melons were cents for ordinary run,
and 10 cents for the best specimens
grown on the Eastern Shore. This
year watermelons at any price would be
welcome.

Jhe most arbitrary, dispotIc, impu-
dent, overbearing, presumptuous, I'M
reasonable, and intolerable trust the
people of this section have to
contend with is the Bell telephone
monopoly. 1t charges what it pleases,
for what 1t pleases and when it pleases
without consulting the people and
without regard to the honor of the
transaction. They solicited phone hold
ers with the express understanding
that there would be no charge for talk
ing with Winchester, any part of JEFF.
ierson county or anywhere in Berkeley
county without extra charge. Some
time after they arbitrarily imposed a
charge to talk to Winchester, later on
they restricted Berkeley holders in JEFF
ferson county to Shepherdstown and
the line leading to kearneysville and
still later imposed a charge to talk
across the line and now the latest rule
the most unreasonable and unjust
is that they will charge if you call any
one at Snepherdstown whether you
get your party or not.
This detestible robber will yet drive
the people OF this and surrounding
counties to organize an independent
sy stem which is being talked of gen
orally now. 1t is the only hope of the
people They must take their tele
phone business out of the hands of
this trust or submit to wholesale rob-
berry every time they need telephone
service.
