.RITCHIE AGAINST
EXTRA SESSION
Opposes 'Bootlegging," However,
And Says He Will Assist In
Curbing 1t.

Governor Ritchie does not think
that there e,ists in Maryland any
emergency in connection with the en-
forcement of the law, such as the
Constitution contemplates, or which
would justify him in calling an extra
session of the legislature, as request
ed by Superintendent George W
Crabbe of the Anti-Saloon Leagu=
He so stated in his reply to Dr.
Crabbe.
Discussing the conditions regarding
bootlegging and liquor violations
Governor Richie says:
"The actual situation in Maryland
is this:
"Under ruling of Attorney Gen
eral Armstrong, the State liquor Ii
cense laws are still in force, and the
police authorities are charged with
the duty of enforcing them, which
am advised they are doing as far as
possible. AS practical matter, this
makes the sale of Intoxicating liquor
illegal under the State laws.
"Mr. Armstrong having ruled that
there is no obligation on the police to
enforce the Volstead Act, the police
do not take the initiative in enforcing
the antitransportation provisions of
that act, but the Police Department
does hold itself at all times at the
service of the federal authorities for
the purpose of acting and co-operat-
ing with them in enforcing not only
the antitransportation provisions, but
all other provisions of the Volstead
Act whenever asked by the federal
authorities to do so, which is quito
constantly.
"My advices are that the bootleg
ging, which all good citizens mus,
deplore, is steadily decreasing, and
this decrease is sure to continue be-
cause of the recent federal ruling rel
ative to permits to wholesalers.1 think
that the coming year can best be uti'-
lied by a calm, intelligent and thor
ough study and observation of actual
conditions here and elsewhere as they
are developing, as the basis for deter
mining, before the next legislature
meets, how most surely to attain the
highest practicable standards of law
and oredr"

COSTEN'S COUPLE WE'D

NEW STATE POLICE
FORCE NOW ON DUTY
POCOMOKE CITY IS A
GREAT MULE MARKET
Two More Sales Advertised To
Take Place Here In The Next
Two Weeks.

Those who seem to know, say that
Pocomoke City is one of the greatest
mule markets in this section of the
country. We are inclined to believe
that this assertion is correct if one is
to judge by the number of sales that
have been made here of late. Already
this season five carloads have been
disposed of at public auction, to say
nothing of those that have been sold
privately by our local dealers. And
now we are advertising two more
sales to take place within the next
two weeks.
On Saturday next G. c. Chinn &
McCarty Brothers will sell another
car load at Townscnd's stables in this
city, and the Saturday after, being
the first Saturday in March, Mr.. Joe
Kindig will also sell another load.
These gentlemen have all experienced
good business here this sason and
their return surely evidences the fact
that they like to do business with our
people. All of their sales have been
we'll attended and the best of it all is
that their stock, fine in quality, has
brought fair prices.
If you are in the market for such
stock we advise you to read their ad-
vertisements in another column of
this issue and acquaint yourselves
with the dates and other facts con-
cerning the sales.

Mr.. Sidney L. Bunting
Under A Specialist

Mr.. Sidney l.. Bunting, one of our
well known and much respected citi-
zens, who has been in poor health for
some time, left on Sunday last for
Baltimore where he is under the care
of the noted specialist, DR.. Frieden-
wald. We hope that the specialist
will be able to give him the desired
relief and that he will soon return to
his family and friends entirely cured
of his ailment.

Freight And Passenger Ser
vice For Entire Peninsula
Is Well In Sight.
EVERYBODY BOOST
THIS ENTERPRISE

For some time freight and pas
senger bus line to connect all the
counties of the Eastern Shore with
the grea5 city of Baltimore has been
talked of and it seems now that plans
for the enterprise are well under way
and unless something unforeseen hap
pens the people of the Eastern Shor;
will see the consummation of the
project before many months have
passed. Many of the most prominent
business men of the State are back Of
the enterprise and it is said also
that number of outside capitalists
have denoted their intention to give
the matter their assistance also.
In speaking of the enterprise one OF
our exchanges says "The proposed
motor transportation for the Eastern
Shore of passengers and freight, as
proposed by the Shore Transit Line,
Inc, which will operate between Elk
ton, Md, and Salisbury, and from
Salisbury to Ocean City via Berlin,
Snow Hill, Pocomoke City, Crisfeld
Westover, Marion, Princess Anne to
Salisbury, is assuming a point of re-
ality, it is said, and those who advo
cate the motor transportation say
that the line will be In operation for
both passengers and freight by April
first.
This will be good news to all Eas
tern Shoremen. Transportation in
this section has been almost entirely
overlooked of late. No section in this
or any other State, where the inter
ests are as great, is as badly neglect
ed as is the Eastern Shore of Mary
land and Virginia. We have rail
road which is said to be the best pay
ing one in the country when its length
is concerned. and still the passenger
and freight facilities get worse and
worse every year. 1t seems impos
sible for this great corporation to
1ldNC OppOolIIOIl III tllc way vi cillOOllII
railroad, but it is possible for them to
have motor bus competition. This is
surely better than no opposition at
all and it is to be hoped that if the
new enterprise does start it will have
that substantial support that will
spell success in every particular 9th
er sections have bus lines that pay
and it does seem that the Eastern
Shore would furnish business enough
to keep an enterprise of the kind on
its feet and make it pay good divi-
dend to its operators.
Let every Eastern Shoreman be a
booster for this new project and by
his or her every word and deep help
push it to successful issue. 1t is
Just these kind of enterprises that we
are in need of and we will never oc-
cupy our just and proper place in the
doings of our State until we have
them.
A number of gentlemen from Bal
timore, Washington, Salisbury and
other points were in our town on
Thursday last looking over the situa
tion and consulting with our business
men in reference to the proposed
plans. No definite action was taken
by our people but many of them think
we'll of the enterprise.

M E. Church Holds
"VaLentine" Tea

The Valentine Tea given by the
Junior Aid of the M. E. Church on
Monday night was an occasion of rare
enjoyment. This was held in the Sun
day School room of the church and
most interesting program was render
ed. Special music was furnished and
other forms of entertainment which
were highly enjoyed by all. The gen.
erous silver offering at the door also
contributed largely to the success of
the evening.

very interesting fact concerning the

London Lancet says that since Christ

time for good cheer, universal feel

engendered at this time Of joyous
ness, routine is for a while relieved, a
certain freshness is given to the daily

and a charitable spirit prevails. Is

1t may not be easy to trace exactly
why the sense Of exhllaratIOn and
well.being comes with the advent Of
Christmas, for the psychological fac

great physiological advantages of be-

Many more persons than formerly
feel where use ends and abuse begins,
and they act sensibly accordingly; and
so far from 1t being a crime to make
the season festive by enjoying, on
little extended scale perhaps, the
creature comforts Of life, some de-

The festive season may, therefore,

see the old-fashioned kinds Of candy

pretty for the table, and not bad for
children, and older people like them
for the sake of long-ago Christmas.
