Oysters soon
TO REDUCE HIGH
COST OF Living

With the prices of foodNuffs soar
ing on account of the EuI ipean war
and with marked increales in all
lines OF edibles, the advent of the
oyster season, which opens Septem-
Der /. will prove a blessing to thou
sands of housewives in this city. In
the opening of the oyster season hun
dreds of housewives see an Oppor-
tunity OF off-setting the high cost of
living brought about by the almost
complete tie-up Of the expectation.
Men who have made an exhaustive
study of the present conditions pre-
dict that the opening 0, the oyster
season will tighten the burden Of the
poor To back this statement they
point out that the bivaives have in
creased little in money value during
the past 20 years. Again, the pre-
sent indications are that there will
be no advance in the price and also
that there will be more on the mar
kets this season than there have been
Tor several years back.
This Delaware and Maryland
delicacy is said to be more
economical by actual compari-
son than any other meat food. They
furnish the buyer with ali edible food
as contrasted with eggs meat, fish
and poultry. and there is also very
I little or no waste in dressing. To
add TO this. oysters can be prepared
in'100 or more different ways in tasty
STYLES.

Trolley LINE TO

Company Formed for En-

and South
EXTEND BOARDWALK
AND SELL MANY LOTS

OCEAN CITY, Md, Aug 19.-An
elaborate plan for the improvement
and enlargement Of Ocean City has
been started by a company consisting
of the Mayor, Captain w. B. S. Powell.
Harry Berger, of Newark, n. j., and
several New Jersey capitalists.
More than 1000 building lots, cots
ing over $4,000, have been acquired
by the company A large part of these
lots are intended for the erection Of
cottages and hotels, and an amuse-
ment park is included in the scheme.
improved streets and sidewalks and
an extensive sewerage system are to
be constructed.
The purchased property, known as
the Wageman holdings, extends three
miles north of the town along the At
lantic coast and extends back to the
Sinepuxent Bay. The present board
walk is to be extended 1000 feet to
meet the improvements.
A five-mile stretch south OF the
town has also been acquired. This
partly includes the property of the
Sinepuxent Salt Water Inlet Com
pany, a defunct organization, which
aimed TO Join the Atlantic ocean Win
the Sinepuxent Bay, thus forming a
harbor for ocean-going craft.
The stretch on the north is to be inn
proved Immediately.
The company has already obtained
charter to build an electric road for
passenger and freight service between
Ocean City and Claiborne, the route TO
be practically the same as that of the
Baltimore and Ohio. Chesapeake and
Atlantic Railway. Power stations are
to be erected at Claiborne, Ocean
City and either Hurlock or Vienna.
These plants. besides furnishing the
power for the electric line, are to sup
ply illumination and power to Ocean
City and the towns along the route.
The new road will probably be run
in conjunction with the Washington
Baltimore and Annapolis electric line
the steamer of the Eastern Shore De-
velopment Company connecting with
Claiborne from Annapolis. By this
new route the time between Baltimore
and Ocean City is to be shortened over
two hours.
