the ineffable delight with which the

s1.5O A YEAR. $500 OUT OF COUNTY
Irrigation Proposed
For Eastern Shore
Irrigation And Reclamation OF Waste Land Has
Long Been Urged By Senator Orlando Harri-
son, of Worcester County.

An Ocean City correspondent writes
to the Baltimore Sun: The long
drought which is becoming too much
an annual occurrence, Is serious
problem on the Eastern Shore. The
denuding of the country of It's for
ests has lessened the annual rain
fall. Droughts threaten to become
more numerous with the continued
disappearance of trees and shrub
berry.
So serious and nenacing is the
problem that intelligent and far
seeing Eastern Shoremen are look
ing for relief in irrigation. The
losses this year by drought are esti-
mated to be sufficient to install sys-
tens of irrigation in several sec
tions on a small scale. This method
of promoting crops is profitable, it
was claimed by the late Daniel Banks.

ed eight irrigation plants in Califor-
mia and Nevada. Mr.. Banks declared

land, the people will have reason to
congratulate themselves on their good
fortune. The Comptrollership is really
a bankers job, and with two able and
successful bankers like Messrs. Dem
mis- and Gordy in charge of the State
Treasury, the situation as the finan-
cial management of Maryland is con-
cerned ought to be ideal.
Senator Orlando Harrison has de-
cided to go to the Senate from Wor-
cester County, which will make his
third consecutive election. During
the sessions he has served in the
General Assembly, he has proved him
self to be one of the most careful
and conscientious members of the up
per house and his services to the
State at large have been equal TO
those of any man who has been there
in recent years. That his course in
public life has been acceptable to his
immediate constituency, Is evident
from the fact that he will this year
be nominated at the urgent solicita-
ton of many people who have here
tofore opposed him, and there is ap-
parently no doubt of his election by
a large majority. Many of the lead
ing men in the State were anxious
to have him take the nomination for
Comptroller when Major Lee refused
to be a candidate for another term,
but Mr.. Harrison refused, believing
that he could be of more use to the
public in the State Senate, where he
has been one of the acknowledged
ledcrs ever since his first session
more than eight years ago.

all Hayward, for he saved it and
then lost it, 1t was his home run
over the left field fence with two men
on bases that tied the score in the
fifth, and it was his wild throw to
first that allowed Pocomoke to tie
the score in the ninth.
With the score 6 to 6 in the tenth
the Snow Hill batters were unable
to push over run. In Pocomoke's
half, burlington grounded to Shar-
retts for the first out. Schickler, the
diminutive left fielder, stepped to the
plate and Hayward at once put him
self in hole by getting three balls
and two strikes on the batter. He
had to groove the ball, and Schickler
lifted it over the left field fence for q
home run ending the game.

thoroughly familiar. at cne-eighth the

on the Shore is made possible at
minimum cost by elevating the old
mill dams, thus permitting the stor-
age and distribution Of waters by
overhead or underground pipes or by
sluices.
There are thousands upon thous-
andS of acres on the Eastern Shore
awaiting reclamation. These swamps

Worcester, has sought the aid of the

the State, including in the list the

men as Senator John Walter Smith,
Governor Richie, Comptroller Lee.
State Treasurer Dennis, Mr.. Henry
l.. Coblentz and others, seem deter
mined to prevent as far as they may
be able, all contest in the primaries
for nominations to local tickets. OF
course in some instances il will be
impossible to do this, but the gen
eral belief is that there will be very
few contests in any of the Counties
and in the City of Baltimore, and
where local conditions are such that
certain individual contest will take
place, every effort will be made to
restrict them to such an extent, that
they will end with the primaries, and
have very little effect on the cleo
tions of candidates in November.
There is decided determination
among Democrats to carry Maryland
this year at all hazards, and the dis
tribution of the Federal offices so far
as it has been annonced, has caused
such a row among the Republicans,
that there is every reason to believe
that ~befoEe November, the party of
Weller and TAFT will be in state
IF hopeless confusion, and that a
Democratic victory will be won with

Snow Hill met two of the strong
est teams on the Shore on July 4th,
and went down to defeat in both
ends of a double header before record
breaking holiday crowds. Newark
carried Off the palm by an s to s
score in the morning contest. The
game was featured by long hits,
two home runs and two bagger be-
ing registered by each team.
Newark started off with rush,
and scored two runs in the opening
inning. Pruitt grounded out to Rous-
sey. Hudson singled to right, and
continued to third when Hickman let
the ball get away from him. He was
caught mapping Off third moment
later. Porter then walked and stole
second. and Mason lifted one over the
center field fence for home run.
Collins struck out. The home team
tied it up in the third in the same
manner. Keen singled to centre. and
advanced to second on Hickman's
out. Ostendorf struck out, but Rous-
sey caught one on the nose and dufll'
Gated Mason's hit for a homer. Rob-
ns walked, but was caught stealing.
Snow Hill forged ahead in the next
session, when SharrettS walked, and
Kilduff poled long home run over
the left field fence
Ostendorf got into trouble in the
fifth inning, and combination of
five hits and walk gave Newark
four runs, putting them again on
top. In the last half of the inning,
the left handler was hit on the elbow
by a pitched ball and retired in favor
Of Krcss. who held his opponents to
two hits during the remainder of the
game.
Newark added a run in the seventh,
when Hudson got life on Roussey'S
error. Porter walked Hudson stole
third and scored when kiduir made
a bad throw on Mason's hunt. The
visitors last run came in the ninth,
when Porter smashed a home run to
right field, the longest hit of the
game.

After Roussey had grounded out,
