OYSTER TRADE
SUFFERS FROM
COLD WEATHER
Business Is Active However, And
Great Difficulty is to Secure
Needed Shuckers

The cold weather has interfered ma
erially with the oyster trade although
more oystermen were out on the
oyster grounds yesterday than any day
this week. The c. W. Matin Company.
one of the local dealers and shippers,
says the oyster business is practically
the same, there having been lit lie
change the past week or more in or
ders or in shipment.
The McNasby company, of EastDort.
located on the Bay shore continue to
ship from 300 to 400 gallons of oysters
daily to their house in Akron, Ohio,
although they are sometimes compel
led to buy from other packers and
shippers to fill the orders.
Mr.. McNasby said today the shell
stock is plentiful but their house is
unable to secure a sufficient number
of shuckers to fill the orders.
Oyster shells which are used on the
county roads, are piled up at all the
local oyster house yards, as sales %
the road people have not yet begun.
In the mean time the shells are ac-
cumulating and there will be gem
erous supply on hand to fill all de-
mands when they do come from the
road commissioners.

BIG BALLOON COMES
TO GRIEF NEAR CITY

Taken in Automobile to Wash
ingtOn Yesterday

The vicinity of Annapolis was Wis
tied yesterday afternoon by a large
balloon. believed to be part of the
equipment of the army aero station
near Washing on. 1t is the first time
one of this type has been in the neigh
borhood of Annapolis, so far as known.
The balloon approached the ground
near the reservoir, about four miles
from Annapolis, and apparently en-
tangled its guide rope in the trees
which formed part of the dense
woods there. 1t looked as if the ayia-
tors would be forced to descend there
in spite of their strenuous efforts,
BY throwing out tallast, the balloon
was made to rise and the rope finally
disentangled. The balloon proceeded
for about mile and reached ground
in an open field near Best Gate. 1t was
soon located by party in an automo-
bile. The balloon was debated and,
with its operators, two in number,
taken back to Washington.

gions, with conditions most serious In
Finland.
Bohemia, Serbia, Roumania and
Montenegro have already reached the
famine point and are suffering heavy
toll OF death. The Armenian popula-
ton is falling each week as hunger
takes its toll, and In Greece, Albania

Italy, Switzerland, Bulgaria and Tur-

THEATRE ATTRACTIONS.
AT THE COLONIAL TONIGHT

Norma Talmadge in a powerfully
tense perturbation of the famous stage
play, THE Heart OF Wetona," will be
the very enjoyable attraction at the
Colonial this evening.
Wetona, daughter of Chief Quannah
has been wronged by Tony, friend of
John Hardin. government agent. We
tona believes she loves Tony and that
he loves her. When she fears that
papoose may disgrace her she tells her
father and he demands the name of the
man. Wetona refuses to tell. Later
the chief suspects that Hardin is the
man and SO compels him to marry his
daughter Tony plans to leave town
and in the meantime the Indians plan
to kill Hardin, thinking he has dis
graced their tribe by wronging the
daughter of their chief They raid
Hardin's home where he, Wetona and
Tony are housed. Previously Hardin
has learned Tony's true character and
so has Wetona, who tells him she
never wants TO see him again. Chief
Quannah learns thai the man is not
Hardin but Tony and goes to kill him.
He stops the Indians raid. tells Hardin
that he is better man than he is and
then shoots Tony who attempts to es-
cape The chief then tells his daugh-
ter that he will take her home, but
both she and Hardin much prefer to
remain man and wife.
Norma Talmadge is truly at her
greatest in the role of Wetona. From
first to last and from every angle The

seat of government the little nations
first thought was to express her graft
tude to the Commission for Relief In
Belgium for preserving the lives of
millions Of her citizens.
Germany, on the other hand, need
not figure in such a map for Ameri-
cans because there is no present indi-
cation that we shall be called on at all
to take thought for the food needs of
Germany. Germany probably can care
for her own food problem IL she is
given access to shipping and is enabled
to distribute food to the cities with
dense populations, which are the trou-
BILE centers.
England. Franco the Netherlands
and Portugal, all OF which have been
maintained from American supplies,
have sufficient food to meet immediate
needs. but their future presents seri-
ous difficulties. The same is true Of
Spain and the northern neutral coun-
tries-Norway, Sweden and Denmark
whose ports have been open and who
have been able to draw to some degree
upon foreign supplies.
Most Of Russia is already in the
throes of famine, and 40,O0O, 900 people
there are beyond the possibility of
help. Before another spring thou
sands Of them inevitably must die.
This applies as well to Poland and
practically throughout the Baltic re-
