BUSINESS OUTLOOK
GOOD SAYS REPORT
Mr.. Goldsborough Makes Good Re-
port As To Industrial Con-
ditions In Baltimore

General business conditions, while
slow, are not bad," asserts Mr.. A. s.
Goldsborough, secretary of the Mer-
chants and Manufacturers Assoeia-
tion, in his report, released on Mon
day, on July industrial conditions in
Baltimore, so says the Baltimore
American. The article also states:
"There is marked undertone of
confidence" he continues. "There is
no action on the part of merchants OF
manufacturers which indicates that
anybody entertains any ugly expecta-
tions."
The measure of unemployment, the
report showed, continues somewhat
excessive. A portion of this unim-
ployment. Mr.. Goldsborough points
out, is due to the persistence of GER
tain lines of labor, when seeking q
job, in the demand that they be hired
OF the high level of wages which pre-
vailed in 1920. A large portion of the
solution to present depression, he as
serts, rests upon the ability on manu-
facturers and their employees to find,
at an early date, some basis of wage
adjustment which will enable factor
les to get busy and to operate at a
profit.
The report shows a Every marked
scftening" in the Baltimore wage
market, with quoted wage offerings
substantially under the peak figures
raid in 1920. For instance, brick
layers are being offered so cents All
hour, as against 81, the high figures
blacksmiths, 60 cents, as against 81
cents; boilermakers, so to so cents, as
against so cents; carpenters. 45 to
80 cents, as against 80 cents; cleo
tricians, so to 80 cents, as against 81
cents; machinists. SO to rs cents, as
against so to 80 cents.
Most Baltimore manufacturers, the
report shows, are endeavoring to car
ry the small remnant of employees
which they have on their payrolls ct
the old rate. There are some indus
tries which have made cuts averaging
from 10 per cent, to 22 per cent
Very few concerns are adding to the
number of their employees, except on
q reduced wage scale.
And what is true of Baltimore s
true of the entire state and the coun.
try at large.

AUTOMOBILE MARKET
STILL VERY ACTIVE
Notwithstanding Tight Times Many
Machines Are Being Sold Here
And Elsewhere

The hard times do not seem to have
ony bad effect upon the automobile
business in this section or in other
parts of the country. To be sure some
Of the dealers are complaining but
he majority of them are doing a good
business and are not at all worried
over present conditions.
Here on the Eastern Shore many
machines are being sold, all makes
and all prices, from the lowest to the
highest, being in the list.
The dealers in Pocomoke City arc
also sharing in the good business that
IS being experienced. For Some weeks
most of them have been doing fine
business and placing many cars. And
during the past week business with
them has been exceptionally fine.
This may be due to the fact that the
rotate market has been little ac-
tive and the prices advanced to a
Pleasing degree. The people of the
Eastern Shore of Maryland and Vir-
ginia will always spend money when
they make it and of course with the
advance in potatoes came the extra
demand for automobiles. If the po-
tato market keeps firm the automo-
bile dealers may look for still great
eI business.

POTATO SHIPMENTS
HEAVY THIS WEEK
Greater Part Of Crop Has Gone In.
Prices Only Fair During
The Past Week.

The shipment of potatoes from this
section has been very heavy during
the past week. Indeed it was the
largest week so far this season and il
is the general opinion that consider
ably more than one-half of the crop
has been marketed. If the weather
holds good and the prices are at all
attractive it is believed that the COM
ing week will see the termination of
the round potato crop in this section
for the spring season of 1921, as by
the close of the week our farmers will
have gotten them all out of the
ground and on the market.
In this section, as in most of the
other sections of the country, the crop
has not been very much of success
and our farmers are feeling it very
much. To start with fertilizer and
help were both very high and this
caused the planting of the crop to be
excessively high. Then came the
drought which caused only about one
l,alf of crop to be made. And to
"cap the climax" the prices have been
very low. When these facts are con-
eidered it is no wonder that the farm
ers are a little low spirited. The ear
iy potatoes in this section brought
comparatively nothing, but the two
weeks past has seen a little rise in
the market and as result they be-
gan to move more rapidly and our
farmers countenances were brighten
ed just a little. During the past week
they have been hanging around $3.50
to $3.75 and while this is not pay
ing price to the farmers still it is
much better than $500 and $2.1O ~
they were at the beginning Of the
season.
Fertilizer, help or prices will have
to change or our people will be forced
to abandon the round potato business
altogether.

SCREEN DRAMA OF
THE HIGHEST TYPE
Program AT Empire Next Week In.
cludes Some OF Best Pictures
Yet Produced.

A glance at the Empire program
fo1 next week will convince the most
critical of movie fans that it is by far
the best program offered in many
weeks.
On Monday night comes Mary
Miles Minter, popular young Realart
star, in 'Anne of Green Gables. This
is q perturbation of the book by the
same name and has g splendid cast,
in support of Miss Minter.
Wallace Reid has a romantic com
edy role in Hawthorne of the U. s.
A." which will be the attraction for
Tuesday. The story was adapted
from James B. Fagan's play of the
same name in which Douglas Fair
banks starred on the stage some
years ago. This is Paramount pic
turc and included in the cast are Lila
Lee, Harrison Ford, Theodore Rob-
erts, Tully Marshall and Charles
Ogle.
The big feature of the week comes
on Wednesday, VIXEN William Farnum
the popular VIM. Fox star comes in
cne of the most stirring roles of his
career. 1t is that of Francois Villon
the famous vagabond in Justin Hunt
ley McCarthy's book and play "If
Were King" role made famous on
the stage by e. H. Southern. Farnum
has done some speiendid work fol-
the screen. His pictures are always
worth seeing; but when he appears
in story like 'If / Were King" he
should stand out above all other film
stars. This is a special production
yet there will be no extra charge Of
admission.

Sixth Street Will Be A
Prominent 7horoughfare

Already improvements are being
made on Sixth street since it was con-
ereted by the State and we understand
that others are soon to follow. Two

with new and up-to-date residences
It is destined to be one Of the most

Baptist Sunday School
Haze Outing Wednesday

A very pleasant day was spent
Wednesday at Public Landing, by the
members of the Baptist Sunday
School of this city. Due to the bad
roads leading to and from Red Hills
this place seems to have lost it's pop
ularity although considered an ideal
spot for picnics. Public Landing, with
its new bath houses, excellent bath
ing facilities, pavilion and pier seems
to be high in favor for those seeking
rest, relaxation and enjoyment.

Matters are now shaping for the

held in this city occurred in August

was change in the management, new

Not satisfied with past successes,
and bent on greater and better things
as the years come and go, the man
Ggement are determined to make their
meet this year out rival anything that
they have done in former years. Tc
this end they have first of all spent
considerable money in fixing up the
entire plant. The grandstand has been
completely renovated and rebuilt
The lower floor, known as the exhibi-
tion hall. has been rearranged so that
many more feet of space is available
for the patrons, new foundation has
been put in and all the floors have
been replaced by new ones. In addi-
ijon to this lavaratories for ladies
have been established and many 9th

nlents made, so that upon entering
this great show room one will be i'm
pressed with it's appearance and con-
venience. The fact is that it now
compares favorably with any room of
its kind in the larger fairs of the
State.
In addition to this the entire grand
stand has been rebuilt and is now in
excellent condition. All decayed tim
bers have been removed and replaced
with either concrete or heavy lumber

care of all persons who seek admis
sion under its great roof. A complete
rev pole fence has been erected and
the other fences repaird SO as to
make pleasing appearance and at
the same time take care of the needs
of the association and it's patrons.
Many other little changes and i'm

the white washing act is completed
the old fair grounds will hardly be
recognized as the same place. All of
this is done in the hope of meeting
the approval and good will of the
public and We are confident it will
have the desired effect.

payed to the plant it is also true that

Pocomoke Club Wins
Four Games Out OF Six;
Two We're Shut Outs
Home Nine Comes Back Strong
With Only 2 Games Lost
The Past Week
SHUT OUT SALISBURY
AND CRLSFIELD TEAMS

The Pocomoke Base Ball Team has
experienced one of the most strenu.
Gus weeks since it was first organic
ed. They have had contests ev.
cry day since our last issue and
under the circumstances they have
made a remarkable record.
AS we stated in our last Issue at
CUR time of going to press Friday af-
ternoon they were again battling for
supremacy with the Snow Hill club
on the Pocomoke diamond. This game
was an exciting one. The boys and
their friends from the county-seat
had blood in their eyes and came to
Focomoke for the express purpose of
carrying the scalps of the Pocomoke
boys home with them. They fought
hard, did their best but the Pocomok-
ians, as is generally the case were a
little too strong for their competitors
and the struggle ended with VIC
tory for Pocomoke by score of 7 to
s It did look a little rude for our
boys to thus put it over on our
neighbors for the third time (for this
was the third straight game they had
whipped them) but they forgot base
ball etiquette, if there is such thing,
md sent their visitors home with an
aggravagated case of the blues.
Another game was played on the
Pocomoke diamond Saturday after
noon when the team from Keller,
Va, crossed bats with our home team
This, too, was an interesting game
and a part of the contest was very
close. The Virginia boys put up a
stiff fight but they were outclassed by
cur team at every point and POGO
moke walked away with the score OF
16 to 3.
On Monday our boys went to Girls
field and there played one CT The best
games that has ever been reported on
the shore this season. The fact is
that it would have done credit to pro-
fessionals. In writing of 1t the cor
respondent of the Baltimore Sun has
the following to say:
"Pocomoke took a close game from
Crisfield Monday by score of l to
c. The visitors led off with a single
and sacrificed Knode to second. With
two down and two strikes, Owens
hit one over the short right-field fence
for two bases, scoring Knode. After
this Murphy settled down and pitched
cir tight ball, striking out 15 men end
only allowing two more hits. Kenler
lad his hand torn open in the first
inning and was replaced by Nuth
Crisfeld lost a chance to tie up the
score in the eighth. when Murphy
failed to reach home on Reifschneid-
er's sacrifice"
Many of our people were present ar
this game and it is said to be the best
game witnessed this season.
On Tuesday afternoon our boys
went to Snow Hill to play return
game and they were badly defeated
