NJ. p. Conference Scores Governor
Richie.

Governor. Richie, of Mary land,
was the target on Monday, for some
hot shot when the delegates attend
ing the annual conference of the
Methodist Protestant Church, in ses-
sion at Washington, scathingly de-
nounced his attitude on prohibition
and cited-.him as having dishonored
the high office which he fills and as
having, by his actions in lining up
with the wet interests of the state,
offended the decent citizenship OF
that commonwealth.
1t was further noted that it was
through. no fault of his that the
wet" bills were not passed. This
and many other attacks on Governor
Richie were included in the report
Of the committee on moral reform,
of which Rev. DR.. John M. Gill, pas
tor of West Baltimore Church, is
chairman, and in which was included
severe announcement Of all other
immoral practices in Maryland, in
Guiding racetrack gambling, the att
tempt to commercialize the Sabbath
Day through legaEzing Sunday base
ball and moving pictures.
This report, which was one of the
most sweeping that had ever been
submitted at the Annual Conference,
was adopted with but few dissenting
votes.
The committee report, after scor-l
ing the attempt made to nullify the
prohibition amendment as anar-,
chistic in its purpose. had the follow
ing to say with reference to Cover
nor Richie:
ut is a matter Of profound regret
that Governor Richie has seen fit to,
line up with the liquor interests and
to champion their cause. 1t is no
fault Of his that these wet bills were
not passed. He has dishonored the
high Office which he fills. he has Of
Tended the decent citizenship of this
state and he has alienated multi
tude of his constituents by his amaz-
ing conduct in this particular We
beg to remind the Governor that he
is the executive of the whole state
as we'll as Of Baltimore city, and
though Baltimore may be wet the
grand old State of Maryland has no
desire to be classed with Rhode Is

ance of the Constitution and is hui

Eastern shore Congressional Candl-
dates.
According to reports from the
Eastern Shore, United States Senator
John Walter Smith will not be given
credit for the nomination of the
Democratic candidate for Congress in
that. district this year. His friends
declare that, in view of his candidacy
for the Senate, he did not deem it
wise to express a preference Tor any
candidate.
His lieutenants in the several coun-
ties, however, expected him to have
a favorite and waited as long as pos
sible for asdeclaration by him.. When
their patience became exhausted they
brought out T. Alan Goldsborough,
of Caroline county, for the nominal
ton. Then came orders from circles
close to Senator Smith that Col. a.
w. Sisk, of Caroline, should be non,i-
mated.
1t was too late The leaders in the
upper counties had declared for Mr..
yGoldsborough and determined to
stand by him. Colonel Sisk then
withdrew. His "dry" supporters, in
Guiding Senator Harrison, of Worces-
ter. and Senator Disharoon, OF Wi
comico, did not take kindly to Col
Sisk's damp" views. He was re-
ported as being favorable to moder-
ate amendments to the Volstead act.
However. his dry friends quit him.
Mr.. Goldsborough is reported to
stand on the same platform on which
Colonel Sisk stood.

Directions for sterlizing seed beds

culture, or from your county agent
Thick seeding, high temperature
and excessive moisture will produc,
soft, tender, tall and thin stemmed

by the tomato grower. Stocky, well
grown, well hardened plants are
essential, and well worth the neces-

while the tops are wet. Bordeaux
ALSO, and arsenate of lead lbs.
paste or " lbs. dry should be used.
Home grown plants are recommend
ed as more desirable than Southern
grown plants because of nematode.
and diseases.
Greater yields can be secured
when the plants are set in the field
earlier than is now the practice. 1t
is desirable to set the plants in the
field as soon after May 10 as local
conditions will permit. In order to
secure the plants it will be necessary
to use cold frames and hotbeds. To
have the plants ready May 10 to Is,
it is necessary to sow the seed March
10 to April /. Plants that have been
transplanted before setting in the
field are stronger and give better
results.

Preparation OF Land. Early pillow.

ing half inch to an inch each sea-
son until the soil is at least inches

consisting of three or four inches oil
thoroughly fined soil is desirable.
v.
Fertilizers. Commercial fertility
ers applied at the rate Of 100 lbs
per acre is recommended. 600 lbs.
of this should be broadcasted before
the field is laid off. 400 lbs. addi
.tional should be applied in the rows
about ten days before setting. About
"A to 6 weeks after setting apply, il
necessary, $50 pounds of nitrate of
soda as side dressing. Be careful
that nitrate does not fall on the
foliage.
Z For second early crops and ligh
soils use fertilizer having 4-8-4
formula. For later varieties and
heavy soil, use 1913 mixture.
Home mixing of fertilizer is earnest
ly recommended. In case long straw
manure is use, it should be applied
before blowing. -
If well rotted stable manure is
available, use this broadcast as a top
dressing and disc into the soil before
planting When moderate applica-
lions of manure are made, 400 lbs.
of 4-S-4 fertilizer per acre in rows
under the plants will be sufficient.

Coming To Majestic.

With that skill and acumen which
always characterizes his various
enterprises Sam Howe has launched
another success in his latest offering
which will be the next attraction at
Majestic Theatre commencing tomor-
row Saturday night. Aug. IA, with the
customary matinees. The produc-
ton is known as Sam Howe's Jollities
of 1920 and is the creation of that
versatile and original writer,
Addison Burkhart. Mr.. Burkhart
calls his effusion a Revusical Fable
in two acts and ten scenes. The
locale covers a lot of territory show
ing various scenes in and about New
York and bubbling over with original
features, surprises, effects, innov-
atoms and ideas. In fact, it marks
the upward trend in modern bur-
lesque, an achievement which has
been the aim of Mr.. Howe since the
advent into this particular field of
endeavor. Besides supplying a cast
second to none MI. Howe brings for
ward a trio of funmakers, comedians
and laugh-getters seldom mustered in
one particular aggregation. We refer
to Cliff Bragdon, Sammy Howard,
and Helen Tarr, others who con-
tribute to the success of the pro-
duction are. Norma Barry, Caroline
Ross, Helen Rikhoff, Lillian Nor
