LET RESULTS COUNT MOST.

friend down in Mohave county calls us to task for boosting the Southern California Edison
 Company so strongly in their work along the
 Colorado river at Marble Canyon and other plac- es. AS matter of fact it was not the Edison Company we were so much interested in as we
 are in the vast project and the great benefits that Flagstaff, Coconino and the state of Ariz- ona would receive if such a project became a fact. The Edison people were rather backward in coming to the front with much information on the subject and had it not been for some inside information received from other sources, the men who came here would have come and gone without mentioning the purpose of their visit. The Sun is not in the least against other projects of like characer and the reason they were not mentioned was merely because their activities and preliminary work was further away The Sun is, however, much opposed to any one man or set of men putting things in the way of develop ment in Northern Arizona few hundred mil lion one way or the other does not mean much to us, but some tangible results in the way of de velopment does interest us very much Just what a company will eventually accomplish at this stage is difficult to determine Niclrola Tesla says he has a scheme to distribute power through the air without wires; that is what his statement amounts to in his article on the sub- ject, divested of techncalities, and he has done some wonderful things in the electrical world. When Marconi told of wireless telegraphy we laughed and sneered in a most hilarious man. ner-then the sucker went and did it. That was about our last orgy of laughter along that line. Whatever may be said-tfie power is out there in the Colorado river for miles up and down and is inviting brains, genius and money to come and get it. What would old Captain John Hance have said could he have been alive to see young fellow fly around over the Grand Canyon, down into it and across to Kanab and back again in time for his lunch? This is really going to be- a wonderful country if fellow is privileged to stick around for the next few years.

A REAL LABOR LEADER.

At Denver, John H. Donlin, president of the building and trades department of the American Federation of Labor, recently said:
 ''We must once and for all stop tying up building operations upon which none but union men are employed" he added declaring that the cessation of work inflicted injury lon ourselves and injustice upon the investor and hurt the gen. era morale and well being of the community
 "We must not injure communities" contin- 'yed the speaker, "cause innocent persons to sui fer pecuniary losses, not to mention mental an guish, the danger of financial ruin as well as cause our great rank and file to suffer incalcula- ble losses. h.-4 .. q A
 "Jurisdictonal disputes are not only the most dangerous problems to organized crafts men, but serious menace to industry"
 Mir. Donlin declared that he belived jurisdic- tional strikes generally are the result of dema- gogues and aspirants for office, or they emanate from class of workers which it is impossible to satisfy, or for reasons that will not stand for the magnifying glass.
 "This convention will indeed be mockery, a Hypocrisy, on the things our movement stands for unless we solve our inter-union disputes" :" asserted the labor leader urging that the depart ment reaffirm it's support to the national board of jurisdictional awards in the building industry
 The aggregate wage paid to building workers is not high nor responsible for the high cost of buildings, said the labor leader, who blamed the high cost of living on "high financing, excessive overheads, excessive profits, combinations or ganized through the years just passed, that now in different economic conditions still are practic- ing their nefarious scheme to protect one and the other at the cost of the consumer"
 Uurging that campaign of home building should be inaugurated at once, he said, it can be done more expediently and cheaper now than in the recent past or in the near future
 l. Now is the opportune time to build homes," said the speaker Banks should remove any ob- stacle in the way of borrowers and make their loans inviting to those who would build. Mater ial men should remove restrictions and effects of combinations from the cost of homes. Labor should insure efficiency
 He predicted that building operations will re- sume with rush in the near future

THE NAMING OF FLAGSTAFF.

One of the most interesting bits of Arizona history has been compiled by Colonel James H. McClintock state historian, entitled Mormon Settlement of Arizona" The greater part of the credit for the peaceful conquest of the desers is given to the pioneer Mormon settlers who build ed homes with an ax and made nature provide food and clothing. It is far cry from present conditions of unrest and discontent amid plenty at hand. The story of the settlement of Flag staff by the Boston party is given in rather 8 new form by the historian as he received it from Horace E. Mann. Mann claims that an advance party reached Flagstaff sometime in early June and the flag was hoisted on tree that was trim med up, but that it was not on July 4th, for his party was in Prescott in the month of Jane; the main party reached the flagstaff on July 4th and celebrated Mann also claims that Major May nader, one of the leaders of the expedition, sur veyed out the town site of Flagstaff and each of the party was allotted tract of land. The ex- act location of the famous tree is much dis puted question among the local pioneers. Some are certain it was located few hundred feet north of where the Union Oil tanks now stand others claim that it was on the slope of Observa- tory hill near what was known as "Old Town Spring." where the first line of board shacks sprung up Later the town moved east from the old site and spread over it's present site

WHO PAYS FOR ADVERTISING?

Did you know that intelligent and judicious advertising doesn't cost the man who pays the bill cent? We'll, then, who DOES pay for the advertising if the merchant himself doesn't?
 The unwise patrons of the store that is NOT advertised are the persons who pay for adver- Using.
 By advertising the merchant increases his turnoyers and sells four or five times as much merchandise as he would if he did not advertise. The real cost of selling that merchandise is re duced with each turnover Thus, the amount he invested in advertising comes back to him and he is enabled to do business on closer margin of profit on each turnover than the merchant who Soesn,t use advertising to increase the volume of his business
 So, after all, the merchant who advertises doesn't pay for his advertisements, neither does his customers It's the patrons of the UNAD- VERTISED store who pay for them.-American Press.

It is very good idea for merchants and bus. mess men to have their street address as well as their telephone number on their stationery and on their advertisements as well. It is but a small thing but it helps to build

PILCHARD CASE
Is SENT TO
DORCHESTER
Attorneys For Pilchard Claimed
He Could Not Get a Fair
Trial in Worcester

Never have we seen as many peo-
pie in Snow Hill to Court trial as
came here last Tuesday to witness
the trial of John Pilchard for killing
Stephen II. Long. Automobiles, car
riageS, and every kind of vehicle
filled the principal streets of the
business section and around the
Court House square.
There was no disorder of any kind,
the crowd mostly coming out of
curiosity. Some of the people had
never been inside of the Court House
before Tuesday.
shortly after Court was called the
attorneys for the prisoner, declared
to the Court their belief that their
client could not get fair trial here
and petitioned the Court to remove
the hearing to another county where
public opinion is not so evident.
Judges Bailey and Duer on the bench
ordered that the trial be held at
Cambridge.
Scre of the city papers have con-
tanned sensational statements about
race trouble over this trial. which
we're without foundation. and at no
time has there been the least fear of
anything OF the kind.
Pilchard has been removed to the
Dorchester County Jail.

BURGLARS BURN
c. HALLS STORE
Second Attempt Successful. Got
Away With Lot of Merchan-
disc Some Weeks Ago.

Several weeks ago the storehouse
of Mr.. Clarence Hall, at Scarboro
Switch was robbed of large amount
of merchandise, and an attempt was
made to burn the building. Boxes
were found piled up against the
building and can filled with oil was
found within few feet of the pile of
boxes. The robbers were evidently
frightened away before they could
start tn" fire to cover up the robbery.
Last Saturday morning early, Mr.
Hall, who was asleep in the residence
about one hundred yards from the
store was awakened by glare of
light in his room. He jumped out
of bed and saw his store building
was burning to the ground. In "A
short while there was nothing left
but a heap OF embers and tottering
chimneys.
Mrs. Hancock who lived near by
says she saw "a bright light and
thought it was an automobile, but it
grew larger and larger and she soon
realized the storehouse was on fire
She also saw a blaze all along the
ground by the side of the building
as if coal oil had been poured on it.
Mr.. Halls stock was worth about
$4,000, and was partially insured
The building belonged to Mr.. James
y. DevcreauX and was insured for
81 900.
This j., the second storehousc to be
burned down at Scarboro.
Some years ago when Mr.. David S.
Hickman owned the place his store
building was burned down. 1t was
located near the site of Mr. Halls
storehouSe.
1t is evident that the fires have
been the work of burglars who used
the torch to cover up the extent of
their work

GOVERNOR RITCHIE
MRS. FULLER AND
SEN. DISHAROON
Will Address The Voters of Worcester Co.
In the Snow Hill Opera House
This friday Afternoon

The political campaign in
Worcester County is on in earn
est. Governor Ritchie is here
today (Friday) telling the peo-
pie how he proposes to save the
taxpayers many thousands of
dollars each year by the con-
SOlidation of certain offices and
the abolishine of others. Mrs.
Fuller is on the stump telling
in eloquent language why the
men and women of Worcester
County should vote for the
Democratic candidates. She
says Senator Harrison needs no
commendation-that the work
he has done for all the people of
Worcester County speaks for it
self. and commendS him to the
support of all the people.
Senator Harrison. and the
Democratic candidates for the
House of Delegates are telling
the people what may be expect
ed of them. and are treating
their opponents as gentlemen.
Although the Democrats
have no band the people are
flocking to their meetings as
never before and are paying
close attention to the speakers.
frequently interrupting with APP
plause.
Everybody wants to hear
Mrs. Fuller. She is splendid
lady and an effective campaign
er.
The Peoples party candidates
are now transforming the
county and are indulging in all
kinds of misrepresentation of
what they have done and what
they are going to do: and have
nothing but abuse for DEM
ocratic leaders and Democratic
candidates. They are making
special efforts to get votes for
their candidate for Senator.
probably not knowing that most
of the voters of Worcester
County are aware that he is
straight-out Republican, who if
elected. will do as he always has
done, be faithful to the demands
of the leaders of the Republican
party.
But he is not going to be
elected.

SNOW HILL PEOPLE
ARE INDIGNANT
Because Baseball Club Is Elimi-
mated From Eastern Shore
League.

Politics took back seat, court
proceedings lost interest, and the
main subject of conversation since
last Friday has been the elimination
of Snow Hill from the Eastern Shore
League of Baseball Clubs.
Last Friday night Mr. Charles w.
Corddry, the Snow Hill director at
tended directors meeting at Sails
sbury for the purpose of electing
officers This business being conclud-
ed. il was suggested that Worcester
County could not support three
clubs, and it was decided by the di-
rectors that Snow Hill must con-
solidate with Berlin or get out. Mr..
Corddry returned home feeling that
the matter had been discussed before
the meeting, and the elimination had
been arranged by parties unfriendly
to Snow Hill.
A meeting of the citizens of Snow
Hill was held Monday night and
resolutions were passed protesting
against the action taken. and con-
tending that such action was unusual,
irregular, and lacked the proper
spirit of fair play.
President Miller has consented that
the directors again be called together
to see if it is their desire to recon
slider the matter and re-instate Snow
Hill. one of the first clubs to enter
the League. and one of the best
organizations on the Shore.
Our people are ready to back the
club to the limit, and there is no
question about il being paying
proposition.
Several of the directors have de-
clared themselves in favor of Snow
Hill We ask fair play and decent
treatment, and if baseball is to be
conducted in gentlemanly manner
on the Eastern Shore of Maryland
we will get it.

First Time Such a Thing Ever
Happened In Worcester
County.

1t is something unusual to hold
Court here all day Saturday, but it
is extraordinary and never before
known to have happened that a ses-
sion OF Court was held Saturday
night, until last week. The 5000
damage case of Merrill VS.. Culver, re-
moved from Wicomico County, had
been before Court all day and it was
the desire of the Judges that it be
concluded before Monday so that the
pilchard case could be taken up.
The jury finally brought in a ver-
die. for the plaintiff for 500. They
were out until about 1900 o'clock.

SUNDAY SCHOOL
CONVENTION HELD
In Berlin on Thursday of Last
Week. Big Crowds Present
At All Sessions.

The Annual Convention of the
Worcester County Sunday School
Association. held in Stevenson's NJ.
+. Church, Berlin, Thursday, October
10th was a great success There has
been nothing like it in the county for
years, if ever. and its influence upon
the Sunday Schools is going to grow
and grow.
The first speaker at the morning
session was Miss Lillian Mccormick,
State Superintendent of Elementary
Work. who spoke on "The Worth of
a Baby" She stated that the OBJ
ject of the department this year was
to win every baby in the State of
Maryland for the Cradle Roll. The
Rev. A. L. Mitchell, Phi. d., spoke in
behalf of the Near East Relief Fund
BY the time DR.. Mitchell finished the
audience had grown to nearly one
hundred, this continued to steadily
increase until at the evening session,
over four hundred people were as
sembled.
Mr.. Abner b. Brown, General Sec
retary of the Maryland State Sunday
School Association, gave the closing
address of the morning, on "Four
County 0bjectiveS," of which, how
ever he spoke in detail of but three.
A high tribute was paid to our
County President when Mr.. Brown
told us that in the whole State there
was nothing to equal Mr.. Shockley's
monthly gathering of the Executive
Committee AT Snow Hill. An inter-
esting feature was discussed when he
told about the so-called Caroline
County Plan, under which two points
are added to pupils high school
average mark, if he has a record of
attendance at Sunday School of so
per cent, and does the work assign
ed to him by hiS Sunday School
teacher. This plan has increased the
Sunday School attendance of Caroline
County from l5 per cent. to 81 per
cent, varying in different schools. A
subject again brought up this year
was the Division Plan, by which an
able executive would be found to look
after the Sunday School work on the
Eastern Shore only Mr.. Brown is
bringing vision into the State work.
and the large conventions everywhere
reported this fall already indicate
that a new era for Maryland Sunday
Schools has dawned upon Us.

Work was conducted by Colonel Jo-
seph II. Cudlipp, formerly pastor of
