cold weather has not reached this
section and Che demands for help
while urgent, are not as pitiful as
they will be when the mercury reg
listers near the zero mark.
Each day witnesses what seems to
be a more narrowing appeal for help
for some family. coming to the at
tention OF the Delaware Public En-
ployment Service in the old City
Hall. Today one OF the most ap-
pealing demands came from a
stevedore. He has a wife and one
child. He has been out Of work
seven months and the wife has
bravely undertaken to keep body
and soul together by taking in
washing. She has done wonderful
IN well. but its hard to keep three
and pay rent and coal bills on what
one woman can make In washing.
An ex-scrvice man who has been
out OF work many months and has a
wife and child, was anotner who ap-
preached Miss Caroline Smith OF
the Employment Service with pit
iful tale OF need. He has exhaust
ed every means he knows OF IN
seeking a Job. but without success.

SHORE LEAGUE
IS in MIDDLE
Withdrawal of Princess
Anne Leaves Baseball
Up in the Air
CAMBRIDGE MAY
BE THE GOAT

SNOW HILL. Nd. Dec 19-The
baseball fans OF this town are spec
ulating as TO how the Eastern Shore
Baseball League viii hll the vacancy
may by the withdrawal OF the Prin-
cess Anne Club.
Unless Snow Hill is taken in there
will be no other Maryland towns
available. they say and Delaware
fans will not enter team in the
league unless two teams from that
State are accepted.
The league originally organized
with eight teams. now has but seven.
and since a nine-team series cannot
well be played, it is probable. II the
Delaware clubs stick to their deter
minauon that no teams from that
state will be entered and one Of the
Maryland or Virginia teams now in
the league. will have to be elimin-
ated so that a six-team circuit may
be arranged.
Then comes the question Of which
will be eliminated.
II seems certain that Pocomoke
will not submit to the elimination OF
either Parksley or Berlin. for one OF
which Snow Hill was pushed aside.
and Il is quite certain that Salisbury
will not agree to having Laurel drop
ped since the two towns are close
neighbors and Laurel people spend
thousands OF dollars In Salisbury
every year.
Crisfeld is too rich a field to be
dropped, and the things seems to
boil itself down to Cambridge, which
is Salisbury's keenest business and
civic rival on the Eastern Shore.
Cambridge though a good baseball
town is not easy OF access to several
OF the teams in the league and for
this reason. as well as because of the
rivalry between that town and Sails
bury. will probably be dropped.
Since each OF the officers OF the
league is Salisbury resident, IL is
believed Salisbury will hold the whip
hand in controlling the situation.
Snow Hill fans remember some
time ago a plan on the part Of the
magnates of four Of the clubs to
form an alliance which would keep
the control Of such matters as that
which now confronts the league from
the hands Of any one team; plan
which Snow Hill rejected, and be-
cause OF which rejection. this towns
fans say. the team was eliminated
from the league organization.

He has close TO eighty acres under the

is in pasture and has some timber.
/ Mr.. HermansOn is single man and
lives with his brother-in-law, John
WrOlstad. He has q big barn on his
place but has wisely kept out of stock
for the past two years. He is making

John Wrolstad owns an S0-acre farm
near H. HermansOn's and came with
him eleven years ago to start home
for himself and family. He has his
farm over half cleared and the bal

HAWKINS MAN EXCEEDS
QUOTA ON NEW FARM

Frederick Anderson purchased so
acres of wild land, three and one-half
miles north of Hawkins, two years
ago, and moved onto it last March.
He and a brother, with little hired
help completely cleared fifteen acres
of cut-over burnt land and planted it
to potatoes. After that they brushed
off another big patch. Mr.. Anderson
shipped three carloads of potatoes to
Chicago, and the boys went there 10
work for the winter. They will return
in the spring and clear up another
patch of land for potatoes and prob
ably raise oats and grass on the first
Afifteen acres cleared.
This is another case Of more than

acres brushed, and two and one-half
acres plowed per farm being done on
a new farm that was not counted last
spring in the clearing project, and
would probably never have been e.
ported il we hadn't run onto it, owing
to this man going to Chicago for the
winter.
