Peninsula WILL
UNITE IN WORK
Maryland, Delaware and
Virginia Counties Will
Advertise
WILL EXPLOIT
THEIR RESOURCES

BALTIMORE, Nd, Dec. 27.-While
here yesterday John w. station, Of
Snow Hill, said plans for the organi-
zation Of the resources of the Eastern
Shore had so far progressed that a
meeting will be held at Easton during
the latter part of January at which
the machinery for the proposed or
ganizatiOn will be put in motion. Mr..
station launched the idea of the pro-
posed campaign two months ago. He
addressed about FIVE hundred letters
to Representatives of trades and SINH
lar bodies in the several towns and to
leading citizens all over the Shore.
He has received over 400 replies. all
approving the plan and promising
their aid and cooperation. Because of
hearty acQuiescence Mr.. Station feels
Justified in calling the meeting.
Since the Inauguration OF the
movement representative organiza-
tons. business men and other citi-
zens OF Delaware and of Accomac and
Northampton counties, Va. have ex-
pressed a desire to be identified ac-
lively with the organization to be
formed. Because OF the commercial.
trade, agricultural and other inter
ests Of the whole peninsula Mr. Sta
ton said he is in favor of the broad
ening of the original plans of the or
ganiRtion to confine its activities
to the Eastern Shore counties.
In his letter, which was sent broad
cast over the Eastern Shore, and in
which he started the exploitation idea
| on its travels. Mr.. Station said:
All loyal Eastern ShOremen believe
In the Eastern Shore. in its present
and in It's future. The possibilities
of development In its commercial.
manufacturing and agricultural in
terests are almost beyond magma
ton. It's magnificent roads. its beau
tiful waterways, its fertile soil, its
| game, fish and oysters are we'll known
| TO us. but its proper development will
| never COME from ourselves alone. Its
beauties and its resources have never
| been adequately presented TO the out
side world. The strangers who have
come to us in the past have come
rather by accident than because they
were sought out and told of the ad-
! vantages. comforts and pleasures OF
living in this land so favored by ma
ture. Florida has realized the won.
derful results of systematic and con
tinuous advertising. New England
has always known it. Baltimore has
its Advertising Club. No individual #
big enough to tell the story. An East.
ern Shore advertising club, composed
Of all the boards Of trade. commercial
houses. banks. newspapers. manufac
turers, lawyers. doctors. business mer
and farmers united for the purpose o.
advertising the Eastern Shore as al
entirety not any particular county
can do it.

Sir:-What would our parents have
thought. back a hundred years ago.
when there was no way Of travel or
communication, except on horseback,
II they had been told that at this time,
thousands upon thousands of express
trains would be running this way and
that way. all over the world, and that
men would be flying through the air.
as well as travelling under the wa
ter: or that We could step on our
porch into a comfortable hOrseless
carriage, touch a button, and, in an
hour be twenty-five miles from home.
Not only have we learned to travel
in an almost unbelievable rate, bu.
in every other line we have learned 10
do things. Now we have the large
tractor gang-plow instead OF the
crooked stick. used by our forofath-
ers: and in every line of industry,
machinery is rapidly taking tho place
of the slower and more lahorious
methods Of former times.
Now what means all this? Some tell
us AuhN IT 10 AhN hoAhi a. ANNAAN W
evolution. but how do these explain
the fact that the world went on for
nearly six thousand years in the same
old way.
There is only one logical, truthful,
and reasonable explanation, and this

entire winter and neither eat nor walk

Meaning Of Yankee.

Th.re are several conflicting the
cries regarding the origin OF the

that 1t came from corrupt pronun-

English, or its French from Anglais
The term Yankee was originally ap-
piled only to the natives of the New
England states but foreigners have
extended it to all the natives OF the
