Warming Has Been Sent
Out To The Fishermen

The fishermen of Worcester and
the adjoining counties will be inter
ested in the following warning sent
cut affecting the fishing industry for
this spring:
warning has been issued by the
office of the United States Engineer
for the District of Maryland, that
though during the war the patrol of
Maryland waters to insure strict en-
forcement of fishing laws was some
what relaxed, they are still in force
and this year a strict patrol will be
maintained.
"Last year the patrol was entirely
discontinued due to changes in the
personnel of the force but this year it
will be resumed following an inspec
ton trip over the waters of the Ches"
apeake Bay and it's tributaries. The
work will be in charge of Capt. Will
lam E. Bell. master of the patrol boat
Castle"

BIG TRUCK DOES DAMAGE
TO ELECTRIC SYSTEM
City Without Current For Short
Time When Auto Truck Snaps
Off Big Pole.

A large mine prop truck became
unmanageable to its driver on Friday
afternoon of last week at the corner
of Clarke avenue and Maple street.
In the miXup it went headlong into a
large pole of the Electric & Ice Man
Company in front Of Mr..
+. M. Wilson's office on the Maple
street side. So great was the crash
that the huge pole, although it was d
large and perfect one, was snapped in
two about twelve feet from the
ground. The weight of this pole to-
gether with the wires attached to it
was so heavy that it broke down pole
number two about so feet down the
street. This line was carrying all the
heavy voltage wires of the electric
and in order to adjust mat
ters a complete shutdown was caused
for several hours. 1t was an ugly
mixup but Manager Harry Schoolfeld
Of the Electric Company and his force
of workmen are to be congratulated
upon their sWiftneSs in managing the
situation and furnishing current to
those who were in need Of it.

Liquor Is Prize Reward;
MANY Try To Capture 1t

The following want ad appeared in
a paper published at Galva, ILL.,, re-
Gently:
"Strayed-Holstein Heifer, about
ten months old. Any information
leading to her recovery will be re-
warded by a good drink of whiskey.
A. F. Deem, Supervisor"
Next day Deem was looking over a
dozen heifers brought in by farmers
all claiming to have found the lost
animal. All were willing to swap a
heifer for a drink. Deem finally To-
Gated his heifer. 1t had been found
by H. C. Sweat, who lives short dis
lance east of Galva. Sweat's wife OBJ
jected to his collecting the reward.
We reckon many of our farmers
would have taken the reward without
saying anything to their wives about
it. Eastern Shore farmers are foxy,
you know; and especially those who
like their liquid refreshments.

OCEAN CITY FOLKS
PREPARING FOR Il
Hotels And Cottages Being Repair
ed And Other improvements
Being Made.

Ocean City, Maryland's only sea
side resort, is getting ready for big
seasons work in 1921. This resort
has grown in favor in recent years
and with each year the trade seems
to increase. 1t is not only popular
with our people but persons from 9TH
er states are attracted there, and it
seems destined to be one of the most
popular resorts along the Atlantic
coast. An exchange in telling what
is going on there in the way of prep
aration for the 1921 season has the
following to say:
The people of Ocean City are TAX
ing time by the forelock and prepar-
ing everything for the influx of
guests this summer. They are look
ing forward with great hope to an
unusually good season and cottagers
and hotel proprietors are making
plans for painting and repairing in
general.
A force of men has been at worl,
reinforcing the breakwater at the
State bridge against the action of the
strong tides which are now much
swifter than they were before the in
let was cut through. The inlet, it is
said, is getting wider and deeper all
the time and on account Of the salt
water flowing in from the Atlantic
the bay is full Of oysters. Oysters are
growing right up to Ocean City
bridge and clans are appearing in
sections where they have not been
found for years.
The beach has made out a great
deal since last season on account of
the great number of piles that have
been driven. Several new cottages
have been built, and it is reported
that several more will be erected be-
fore the season is under way. The
Mayor and City Council are prepar
ing to make needed Improvements to
the streets and sidewalks and other
wise to improve the looks of the
community.
The coming season promises to be
gay. After the tight times that seem
to be passing, a period Of prosperity
may be expected. Several conventions
will be held this summer, one of the
most important being that of the
American Legion of the State of
Maryland. While this gathering will
take place probably early in Septem-
Der after the height of the season, it
is expected that the large attendance
and many novel features will draw
many outside visitors.

OLD CLOCG GARAGE
BEING TORN DOWN
Work OF Destroying Old Structure
To Make Way For New One
Begun This Week.

The old concrete garage of Mr.. ].
Milton Clogg at the foot of Market
street is being RACED this week and as
soon as this work is completed the
contractors will begin the construc,
ton of the Market street section of
his new garage. AS stated in our last
issue Mr.. Clogg has moved all of his
business to the Front and Willow
street sections and will there remain
until the work on the entire building
is completed. OF course much de-
ponds on the weather conditions.
Should the weather continue as it
has been the contractors will be able
to move along with the work, but if
freezing weather should be on the
program the work will have to be de-
layed until the Spring opens. At all
events it is expected that the entire
building will be done and ready for
occupancy surely by the beginning of
the summer months. When completed,
as we have said before. Mr.. Clogg
will have the most modern garage
south of the great city of Philadel-
phia. and we doubt if that great city
will be able to outclass it.

MRS. PAGE DIES
ON BOAT AT SEA
Well Known Somerset Lady Sue
cumbs To Tropical Fever On
\ Her Homeward Trip

The Philadelphia Evening Bulletin
Thursday of last week contained tho
following article:
Friends of Mrs. Helen M. Page. of
this city, who had been expecting her
return from tour of the Orient this
week, were shocked yesterday to
learn that she died at sea.
"The news came through the for
nal announcement, the will Of Helen
NJ. Page, who died in Honolulu on
December 25, leaving an estate of
$4,000, has been admitted to probate
here
"Mrs. Page, who formerly lived at
22d and Pine streets, and, for time.
al the Aldine and Rttenhouse hotels.
left last summer, with her sister.
Mrs. Merrill. OF New Jersey. She
vent TO San Francisco. and then to
the far East.
"She contracted a tropical fever at
Manila on her way home, and died on
shipboard. Her body was cremated ar
Honolulu, and the ashes sent to this
city for burial"
Mrs. Page was 81 years old, the
wife of Mr.. John d. Page, son of Mrs.
Page and the late Judge Henry Page,
of Princess Anne. Mr.. and Mrs. Page
resided in Somerset county for a
number of years. Mrs. Page sold
her farm "Elmwood," on the Manokin
river, in the early summer of 1919,
after which she had apartments at the
Washington Hotel. From there she
went to Philadelphia to reside.

SEVERAL BOLD R0BBERIES
IN AND NEAR POCOMOKE
Home Of E. J. SchOol6ed Entered Sunday Night Thieves
Get Money And Jewelry.- --Country Stores Robbed.

Robbers have at last struck this
section and they have been getting in
some good work of late. The char
acter of the work, however, leads us
to believe that it is the local theft
that is at work and not the kind that
we read so much about in the daily
papers. While there have been sew
eral robberies committed they have
been small affairs as far as dollars
and cents are concerned. This does
not mean, however that the outlaws
who are doing the work should not be
apprehended and brought to just
punishment. 1t is the hope of all that
the scoundrels may be captured and
made to pay the full penalty of the
law. Pocomoke City and the sur
rounding country cannot afford to let
this kind of business go by unnoticcd
and we are sure that the officers will
do their best to put a stop to such
lawlessness.
On Friday night of last week the
store of Mr.. L. F. Redden at Beaver
Dam was entered and robbed. The
thieves got $40 in cash. razor,
lot of beef, gloves, oranges and other
articles. OF course in a general store
like this it is hard to tell just exactly
what was taken. but the above arti-
Giles Mr.. Redden knows were taken.
We are also informed that this store
has been robbed several times before
and few articles taken each time.
Che home Of f. ]. Schoolfield on
Second street was entered by BURG
lars Sunday night between 7.30 AM
so and about $85' in cash secured by
ti'em as we'll as valuable diamond
bracelet, and heirloom of Mrs.
