TEE BALLAD OF CYCL0NA CHLOE.

THE BALLAD OF CYCLONA CHLOE.
Concerning the real little girl" Of that
name who came to earth in Q wtnds(orm".)
Within Kansas house Of sod
She came to earth In wind and rain.
Another precious gift Of God.
A balm TO soothe . mothers pain
The elements with might and main
Conspired this house to overthrow;
But eli the Storm Kings wrath was vain
They christened her "Cyclona Chloe!
Out where the golden sunnowers nod
Beside the fields Of golden grain. =
This lassie with the name so odd
Soon raced the level Kansas PLATA
Or built her castles fair In Spain
What cared she though the winds might blow!
TornadOes were her pet disdain-
They christened her "Cyclona Chloe!
She knew and loved each Kansas clod.
The purring windmills' soft refrain;
She knew each shrub, each plant and pod
And all OF Natures endless chain
The cyclones loss had been her gain;
She grew, and joyed to watch things grow;
The storms Of life ne'er touched her brain
They christened her "Cyclona Chloe!
All, Prince, as 90 down the lane
OF life it cheers me much to know
That stead of Anne" or "Nell' or "Janes
They, christened her "Cyclona Chloe.

Gives AdUice About
ApMds On Maple Trees

In reply to the numerous inquiries
that have recently come to the Coun-
ty Agents office regarding the dam
age that is being done to maple trees
all over the county, the following adj
vice has been given by the State En-
tomologist, E. N. Cory, in letter to
the County Agent:
+" Your letter regarding the naples
is the third one received from Coun-
ty Agents stating similar conditions
all over the country. The insect af-
fecting the naples Is an aphis, Oh
louise. This aphis will not do any per-
manent damage to the trees, even
though it may defoliate them to a
considerable extent"

Worcester County
Girls Club Outing
An Enjoyable Time For The Club
Girls OF Worcester County
AT Ocean City.

The club girls of Worcester county
enjoyed a very rare outing at a camp
Il. Ocean City from June I'd to June
eth.
On June I'd about rs girls from all
?arts of the county assembled for a
period of instruction and enjoyment.
Their program gave them instruction
i'll Planning and Preparation of
Meals, Value of Milk, Fruits and
Vegetables in the Diet, Proper Dress
for Girls, Healthful Exercises and
Games, and High Value of Club Work
e. boys and girls.
On the first and last days the
weight of each child was taken and an
average increase of one pound was
noted. This was attributed to the
fact that the children were given the
high value of milk as a food and ev
cry child responded to its use in camp
meals, as suggested by the instruc-
tors.
The instructors Misses Cowsill
Home Demonstration Agent of Mont
gomery county, Gaffney of the Public
Athletic League of Maryland, and Mr..
r.. w. Chichester, Assistant Boys
Club Agent, gave real inspiration to
the club girls who were fortunate
enough to attend the camp.
Beside those in regular attendance
there were a dozen visiting club MEM
bers each day. County Agent Oswald
and some of his club boys, and Miss
Emerson, Home Demonstration Agent
from Sussex county, Delaware, with
d group of her girls, were also in at
tendance.
Miss Emerson expressed herself as
being so impressed with thi meeting
by the girls that she was going back
TO her county and make an effort to
have the privilege Of like opportu-
nifty.
On Saturday afternoon the meeting
was conducted entirely by the club
girls of the county and they made it
one of the best meetings of the whole
camp. To see the manner in which
the girls presided, lead and reported
results of club work in their respec-
tive communities was real evidence of
what club work is doing for the girls
and boys of the present.
In the evening as all assembled
around the open fire, one of each OF
the four groups presented little
program they had prepared as a
source of entertainment. These con-
sisted of recitations, songs, dramati-
cations, dialogs and other interesting
features.
To Mr.. and Mrs. O. D. Collins, in
whose cottage the girls were shelter
ed, and the County Women's Club,
who paid the registration fee for the
best girl from each club in the coun-
ty, is extended the highest apprecia-
ton by Miss Walter, the Home DEM
onstration Agent of Worcester coun-
ty under whose supervision the camp
was conducted, and the girls in at
tendance for giving the girls an OPP
1ortunity for this outing at which, as
they expressed themselves, they had
the happiest time in their lives.

Bull Pup Staged Battle.

Nitro, w. Va.-A bull pup and seven
rabbits, consigned to Nitro by express
an the Kanawha & Michigan railroad,
reached the station, but the railroad
company probably will check them up
as lost or destroyed in transit.
The pup tore his way to liberty
from his crate and then tore into the
crate containing the rabbits and killed
the whole seven. When the car reached
Nitro the pup had disappeared also.

County Commissioners And Town
Officials Asked To Cooperate
In Workboat Races.
LETTER SENT BROADCAST
TO AWAKEN WIDE INTEREST
Arrangements Being Made To Ac-
commodate Thousands OF
Visitors.

The County Commissioners of each
county, the Mayors and City Coun-
ellis. and tire Town Commissioners of
each Incorporated town in Maryland
have been invited to cooperate with
the regatt committee of the Chesa-
peake Bay Yacht Club, of Eastern
Maryland, and to attend the big Ches-
aDeake Bay Championship Workboat
Sailing Races to be held in Eastern
Bay, off Claiborne, Md, July 2.
The letter sent out broadcast to the
civic and State authorities of the
State by the regatta committee which
is managing the races is as follows:
Easton, Md, June II, 1921.
complementary we extend an in
vltation to the members of your body
and the residents of your city and
county to cooperate with the regatta
committee of the Chesapeake Bay
Yacht Club to bring to successful
conclusion the Chesapeake Bay
Championship Workboat Races to be
held in Eastern Bay off Claiborne,
Talbot county, July 2.
These races, as no doubt you may
have read in The Sun and The Even
ing Sun, will decide which are the
fastest sailing workboats on the
Chesapeake and will undoubtedly b.
the greatest sailboat races ever held
on the bay. Once the Chesapeake was
literally crowded with swift white
winged craft-"birds of the Chesa-
pealse" they have been called. Today
these boats are fast being replaced /
steam and gasoline-driven craft. Il
is with the hope of keeping alive the
grand old sport of sailing that The
Sun and The Evening Sun of Balti
more are promoting the Chesapeake
Fay Championship Workboat Sailing
Races.
The program of races include five
contests. There will be races for
Bugeyes, Glass l (boats more than SO
feet in length; Bugeyes, Class II
(boats less than so feet in lengthy
Skipjacks, Working Canoes and
Racing Canoes, with valuable prizes
to the winning boats in each class.
The first race will start at 1890 A.
NJ, ard the other races will follow at
quarter of an hour intervals.
The course over which the boats
will race is about nine miles in
length, and has been so arranged that
racing boats will be in plain view OF
the large pier, the breakwater and
adjacent shores at Claiborne, that
can accommodate thousands of spec
tators. Claiborne itself is easily az
cessible by boat and train from every
section of the State.
The general interest which the rae
es has awakened in all parts of Mary
land and neighboring States, we feel,
warrants us in soliciting your coop
Grafton to encourage the citizens of
your vicinity to attend these contests.
Why not seize upon this occasion as
holiday-a day of picknicking on
the beautiful shores of the Chesa-
peake?
Trusting you will place your en-
dorsoment upon the plan, encourage

OCEAN TONNAGE.

The tonnage of seagoing merchant vessels launch comprised more than 25 per cent. of all similar ton mage launched in the tweny-nine years beginning with 1892 for which the compilations of Loyds Register of Shipping available.
 Prior to the European War, the largest amount of shipping launched in any year 3,332.S82 gross in 1913 Ship construction decreased during the earlier phase of the war falling 1,201 630 tons in 1915 In the following years, however, urgent de- mand for tonnage stimulated construction but it until 1918 that total launchngs exceeded those of 1913 In that year, thanks very largely to the construction of more than 5000 900 tons in the United States, the worlds shipyards launched 5,447 444 tons, while in 1919 the total 7144,549, of which than 4000 900 the product of Amer ican yards In 1920 shipbuilding activity reduced somewhat but launchings still in excess of any previous year except 1919.
 In spite of the destruction by enemy action of 5000 900 gross tons of seagoing merchant gels between August l. 1914 and November II, 1918 and the loss through marine hazards of an additional 2,390 900 tons during the period, the worlds s mercantile tonnage ahoat is today greater than it would be had the average rate of increase for the ten years prior to 1914 continued the years since that date. Estimates of tonnage afoat indicate a total in of 60.000,O00 gross tons approx- mately II 900 900 gross above the figures for June 30, 1914.

ALASKA LEADS AGAIN.

Recent figures released by the Bureau of Internal Revenue on income tax returns show the average net income of Alaskans making is more than $100 greater than that of Oregon. Only the residents of the national capital made higher showing than Alaskans according to the returns
 On the face of the figures of the Bureaus of Internal Revnue wealth is more evenly distributed in Alaska than in any other political subdivision of the nation inasmuch THY per cent of the total population of the Territory filed income return This ratio is all the striking when it is com pared with that of Washington and Oregon The percentage of people filing return in Washing ton was 843 with average net income of $24O24. Oregon is credited with returns from 634 per cent. the population of the state, with average net income $212.21. The average net income for Alaskans filing $343.58.
 These figures furnish statistical proof of the state ments which made by virtually ever yAlaskan who returns the Territory from the States that the people of Alaska are better off than those Of any other section of the United States. This does not mean that conditions quiet in the Ter ritory. To contend otherwise is but much idle talk But with all of. our slack times, Alaska still remains the better than the best Outside,
 Segregated by grup, the agrcutura group of the nation paid the most through the income tax to the maintenance the Federal Government. According to the Bureau Internal Revenue farmers and those engaged in related industries paid l24 per cent of taxes collected, the highest contributions from trade, which paid 25.9 per cent. of the and from publiv services grouped under amuse ments hotels, etc. which contributed 21.97 cent.

Canadian exchange in the United States to such an extent that Canadians would be forced to quit buying extensively in this country.
 The balance of trade in favor of the United States in the commerce with Canada during the calendar year 1920 was more than $361, 100000 The total trade amounted to more than $150o,000,000.
 Advocates of reciprocity in Canada contend in view of the figures here quoted, that the United States would have as much to gain as Canada would have through reciprocity and that her losses will be great, greater than those of Canada through the operation of the effect the Fordney Tariff Can adian- American trade if something is not done to avoid the menace which the measure carries
 Advocates reciprocity in Canada believe that good feeling devloped by American and Canadian cooperation during the war, the readiness of Ameri- ans finance Canada to such an extent that her exchange is higher than that of any other country, America only excepted that in the war, and the prospect that it would restore Canadian exchange to normal would be in influencing Canada to reverse her vote of a decade ago when she rejected the Taft-Laurier reciprocity treaty
 However, if the Fordney Tariff Bill should become law and there should be reciprocal treaty with Canada, it is believed in Ottawa that Canada would seek to divert lot of it's American trade from the United States Europe. If the American markets should be denied them they would necessarily have to look elsewhere for markets and that would be followed by buying from those who furnish the markets

NEW YORK REPUBLICANS FAVOR LOCAL
 SELF

Fitting the candidate to the platform and not the platform to the candidate is said to have been the principal factor in the selection by New York Repub lcans and coalitionists of Henry M. Curran, Pres- dent of the Borough Manhattan candidate for nation for Mayor New York in the September primar es. The fight the selection between State Senator Charles C.. Lockwood of Brooklyn, United States Senator William NJ Calder and MT. Curran. The de- termining factor in the outcome the adaptiblity of the tentative platform drawn up by the fusonists to MT. Curran.
 Those who actively promoting the coalition movement in New York, composed largely of all those who oppose Tammany, have determined to prevent that organization from having a monopoly of the issue self government in municipalities.
 At a recent meeting it determined by the Re- pubcans and others at the conference oppose the plan of Gov. Miller and the State Legislature New York City from Albany. They decided to de mand complete local control of the police and police powers, the municipal railway service other ters that Gov. Miller has sought control through the State Government The also decided in favor of 'lberal' policy in relation the enforcement of prohibition

Where Are We Drifting.
{ Valdez Miner.

tNadeZ Miner
 The Hon John Ballane was a passenger for the Interior of the recent boats, by way the Government Railroad and Broad Pass to collect data Tor the proposed Government steamship line. The Miner has no desire to oppose anything which will help build up this great Territory does in 3 spirit of fault finding criticse the actions ministraion in theq establishment of such line, the Secretary of the Interior honestly believing the proposed will solve Alaskas transportation difficulties and be the entering wedge to boundess of prosperity.
 But cannot help but ask ourselves where this proposed change will benefit The Territory has fleet of the finest plying any ports of the world; vessels large be safely handled when making the inside passage threading the narrow channels between the rocks and reefs of tthe Alaska seaboard The Victoria, the Alameda the Northwestern, the Admiral Watson. the City of Seattle, the Spokane, and Jefferson ply Territorial waters, therefore there can be lack of vessels to serve population of less than 50000 souls This necessarily leads to believe that the present high rates are caused by lack of tonnage If this is the case, and it is why the energies oi the administration to developing tonnage for ships we already have Time after time these mag nfcent two thousand ton vessels go south with half a cargo, dependent upon copper ore or paper pulp to complete their load.
 If another line of vessels enters the run in competition with those we already have. be- lieve that 1t will reduce tonnage and at the same tune! Can the competing lines carry less freight and passengers and pay dividends? We hardly think SO No matter what statistics are collected the fact remains that when low the present d commensurate with the distance travelled first class passage with meals and berth included costing but $45 from Seattle to Valdez Today the fare is S6250 an increase of about 70 per while costs of operating have mounted to 150 per cent And back of this is decreased tonnage and lessenng population.
 We believe that if the Government would expend the monies appropriated for rival steamship lines Tn subsidies and fat mail contracts the vessels now running, rates would quickly drop to pre- war basis It IS impossible to operate vessels the size of those now running at lesser cost, until the prices Tor labor and fuel drop If the Government runs at cheaper rate the difference be assimilated bv taxation or inroads the Government treasury Ana In either case the taxpayers will soon tire and call halt. We will then be without service of any kind years being required for private companies to build up anything like the present fleet
 The Miner is not subsidized by the steamship companies, nor is it against any scheme which will ameorate conditions which fast becoming burden some but it is well to look with favor on the many blessings we now enjoy rather than turn to those which problematical.
 While the proposed lines may benefit Seward and the country directly contiguous the Government Railroad what will it do for Juneau Cordoya Valdez and Latouche? -
