Last Tuesday marked the opening of
the big Pocomoke Fair. The weather
was ideal, and the attendance was the
largest of any opening day in the history
of the accociation.
The exhibits of stock, agricultural
products and fruit were good and speak
well for the crops Of this year. The
display IN the expotion hall reflected
great credit upon the deft fingers of the
women of Worcester County, who made
the many pretty articles Of fancy work
that adorned the booths and walls, while
while equal in all respects were the
domestic exhibit of pastry. CONNECTIONS.
canned vegetables and fruits. preserves.
sauces and jellies.
Outside the exposition hall the scene
was panorama. running along a wide
lawn quarter of mile in length. upon
which were grouped in close proximity
all kinds of sideshows, merry go-rounds
and museums. Fakirs. fortune tellers
and vendors of novelties lined the wide
avenue on one side, while on the oppo-
site side were boarding houses. restaur-
aunts. watermelon. lemonade and ice
cream saloons. all of which seemed 70
be thronged with buyers with ready
money TO spend.
There was large number Of annual
exhibitors of machinery. furniture.
pianos. etc.. from Baltimore and Phila-
delphia. and the showing they made
tended largely TO the success Of the Fair.
The racing was spirited, and the low
ers of the harness horse enjoyed the
far immensely.

Thomas Sturgis

II is lalways a sad duty for US to
chronicle tke death of young person.
The old mhst die, but it seems hard to
see yoyhg person cut off when life
promises SO much for them. This was
the cage Of Thomas Sturgis, son Of Mr..
and Mrs. William T. Sturgis. of near
Snow Hill. This young man. only about
sixteen years of age, was everything
that his parents desired him to be. He
was considerable for them, and was a
fine boy. He was taken sick week or
so ago and finally ii was found necess-
AIRY to take him to hospital for an
operation. The operation revealed such
a serious condition. that from the first
there was no hope Of his recovery. He
died Saturday and his remains were
inferred in the NJ. T.. Cemetery here on
Monday afternoon.

Road Meeting Held in
Snow Hill

Mr.. Walter b. Miller. State Road
Commissioner, came to Snow Hill last
Wednesday at the invitation Of the Snow
Hill Board of Trade to talk over mat
tiers regarding the building Of the State
Roads entering this town. MIR. Miller
was very pleasant and he found that
the people of Snow Hill had no designs
upon any other section of the county
other than TO see an equitable distribu-
ton of the work where IL would best
serve the people. Mr.. Miller gave US
an interesting and instructive talk on
the work of the Commission. He compi-
mented the Commissioners appointed
by Governor Crothers to inaugurate the
great work Of building State Roads.
He said their duties were very trying
and he sympathized with them. He
said there was no evidence of graft or
anything else wrong with their work.
He said that the road work under the
direction of the Worcester County Com
missioners was most commendable, and
that this county was fortunate in hav-
ing obtained so much road for the money
expended. He also complimented Mr..
j. Edward White for the work he had
performed as the agent of the Roads
Commission in this county. and he said
that some of those who had criticised
the Commissioners and Mr.. White did
not know what they were talking about.
Those Of our people who had not before
met Mr.. Miller were very much pleased
with his talk, and were convinced that
he would do what he believed to be
right. He said Snow Hill had not made
any complaint and the answer was: We
only want what is right and just.

COST OF MARKETABLE MILK
and Sanitary Conditions Are EeId
Responsible.

The people of cities who complain
about the high prices OF milk may be
interested in knowing what it costs to
produce and distribute good market
able milk. An investigation made last
by the dairy department Of the col
lege Of agriculture, Ohio State univer-
sity, shows that the average cost. Of
milk in Ohio is about 25 cents. or G.25
cents per quart, allowing 3.203 pounds
per COW per year as the average milk
production. This takes into consider
alton the cost of feeds. labor, interest
on investment, maintenance, msur-
ance, taxes, etc, When the average
milk production per COW is increased,
the cost is decreased. The average
cost OF distribution is 81 cents per
quart as the cost of producing milk
and delivering it to the consumer.
This means that when milk rotails a.
ten cents a quart, the average pro
Queer and distributor is making little
or no profit in the transaction. Where
high producing COWS are kept and
economic methods of handling and dis
Irritating on a large scale are employ
ed, the above figures ar2 greatly re-
dpCed and there is a sa:- profit in the
dairy business. However. it is the av-
erage producer, WHO keeps average
COWS, the increasing cost Of feeds and
labor and the greater demand for sani-
tary conditions that are contributing
to the high price of milk

DAIPY NOTES
(z7==. @.---gz@=s57 - sssaSl

Kafir corn always should be ground
for cows.
A meaty udder is seldom combined
with a good mixer.
An occasional soaking in brine viii
keep the wooden churn sweet.
Dairying isn't play, but no other job
pays better wages for hard work.
The dairyman sells a ton Of but
ter. and is out only 80 cents worth OF
fertility.
Be sure not to stint the calves
and yearlings in the use Of straw for
bedding
The longer the calf is allowed to
suck the harder it will be to teach him
to drink.
The man with four or more COWS
doesn't save money by not buying a
separator.
The cream separator should be firm
" fixed on a solid base if good work
is expected Of it.
In feeding a mich COW corn ra-
ton, reduce the ration at first indi-
cation Of fattening.
Some attention must be given Tegu-
larry to the hoofs Of the COWS that
are kept on floors much Of the time.
Be sociable with the heifers. It
is not belittling yourself. but it is
uplifting for the calves and young cat.
tie.
The COW that drops a calf in the
fall is the one that will drop money
in her owners pocket provided she
is given the feed and care she de-
serves.
Alfalfa hay and ground oats will put
quick growth On fall calves and thus
carry them through winter in better
shape.
In cold weather keep the pregnant
COWS or mares bIanketed few
weeks before giving birth to their
young.
Don't let the cows fall down on the
milk flow. It is cheaper to keep it up
than to bring it back after it has be
gun to fail.
Be sure that the COW stables are in
good repair before the weather is
so cold that the stable must as IF
constant use.

Handy Cow Sanction.

Of at a discount from the purchase
price. In the meantime I had grow
ing up six heifers from the best COWS
in large dairy herd of grade Jerseys.
and out Of a thoroughbred Jersey bull.
These were bred to another registered
Jersey bull of good individual merit
and approved pedigree, and their most
promising heifers raised to cowhood.
what was the result?
Almost without exception the cows
thus raised were extra good ones, Civ
ing milk testing high in butter fat, the
average herd producing a pound Of
butter from much less than twenty
pounds of milk, while such cows as
I had been obliged to buy would not
make the same amount from less than
twenty-five pounds of milk.
The stanchion shown in the illus
tration, which is self-explanatory, will
be found handy in any COW barn. The
lever attached to the end is used for
opening and closing.

MANNER OF DEH0RNlNG cows
Very Little Danger in Saving Them
Off-Sharp Fine-Tooth Saw Is
Best for Older Animals.

Some COWS are naturally very bossy,
a temperament that is not improved
by age, The only remedy is to remove
the horns.
For some unaccountable reason
pure-bred dairy COWS all. have horns
as a part of their natural equipment.
Ayrshires have especially dangerous
horns, as fashion demands that Ayr
shires have horns that project for
ward and upward. Red Polls and
Polled Durham are the only excep-
tons, and these are really beef breeds.
There is very little danger to the
COW in having her horns sawed off.
and not much discomfort, judging
from her actions. Usually there is no
loss of blood or appetite, and the milk
flow remains normal or nearly So
A sharp fne-tooth saw is better than
clippers for the older animals. Clip
pers sometimes smash the skeleton
bones inside the horn and prevent
healing properly. For young cattle
the better kinds of knife instruments
work very we'll.

NEVADA DIVORCE
LAW IS UPHELD
eddie Says Marriage Question of
EugeniCs, Not Religion.
BLEASE RAILS At JOHNSON
Declares Negro Fighter Would Have
Been Lynched Without Executive
interference in South Carolina
Governors in Tears.

richmond, Va, Dec. Gov. Cole L.
Blease Of South Carolina for the sec.
ond time startled the governors con.
ference, in session here, by a vigorous
defense of lynching by mob on Thurs
day, when he declared that Jack John
son, the negro pugiIist who married a
white woman in Chicago recently
would have been Iynched long ago
without executive interference had
he lived in South Carolina. Other fea-
lures Of the conference were an ad-
dress by Miss Kate Barnard of Okla
hCma, who made the statement that
5000 children annually die in the Unit
ed States from the effects of the
glass factories alone, and Governor
Oddie's discussion of the divorce prob
lem, in which he defended Nevada's
divorce laws and said that marriage
was not a sentimental or religious
question, but one of eugenics.
Governor Blease's dramatic ap-
prevail of lynch law came during the
discussion which followed the reading
of Governor Oddie's (Nevada) paper.
IF there is any disgrace to Ameri-
can civilization and to American wo-
manhood" commenced Governor
Blease, sit is the sale Of our women
for foreign titles. Next in order of
disgracefulness is the unprecedented
number of divorces which have recent
ly been granted in the United States.
There is, and can be, no divorce in
my state (Applause.) South Carolina
acknowledges the inviolabIe sanctity
of the marriage tie, and had that ne
gro who boasts of his supremacy with
his fists made the advances to the
white girl in South Carolina that he
did in Illinois he would have met that
immediate and summary punishment
which brutes of his color and stamp
deserve There would have been no
interference from higher authority,
either"

interrupted to ask:
Did you not, in taking the Office.

plause.)
Red with anger, the South Carolina
governor shouted:
= will tell you, as I told the people
of my state before I was reelected,
that if the constitution comes between
me and my duty as a protector of
white women-then to -- with the
constitution"
At the mention of the internal re-
gions half the women present arose
and left the hall, signifying their dis
approval of the South Carolinian's Ian
guage. They returned when, a few
moments later, he concluded his re
marks.
