A RADIO TELEPHONE
SERVICE INSTALLED
Electric & Ice Manufacturing Com
pany First In Field In This
Section Of Shore.

The Electric ard Ice Manufacturing
Company of this city have installed a
Radio Telephone in their Market
street offices and it has attracted the
ynstinted attention of our people.
Crowds have gathered daily to listen
IN. They have been in touch with
Schenectady, N. Y, Newark, N. j.,
Camden, n. j., Pittsburgh, Pa, Nor
iolk, Va, and several other prominent
stations of The country.
The Electric and Ice Manufactur
ing Company are agents in Pocomoke
City for the Westinghouse Aeriola,
ST., Radio Telephone. They expect in
the near future to install loud talk
ing device in connection with the tel
ephone so that as many as care to,
may listen. We are sure that this
VII prove of such general interest to
our people that in the very near fu-
ture the business will prove a profit
;:ble one, attracting not only our own
people but those for miles around US.
Radio telephones are becoming uni
versally popular and are being in
stalled in private homes, churches,
schools, theatres and business instltu-
tions all over the country. By their
use people in small towns are able to
hear distinctly messages of speakers,
and lecturers, music, ETC., from the
large and distant cities, thus putting
them in touch with the greatest and
best artists of the world. Pocomoke
City is indeed fortunate in being in
the list Of enterprising towns.
We understand that Mr.. Charles D.
Potts has also installed a similar tel
cphone in The boarding house of Mrs.
Emma Henderson. on Clarke avenue,
where he ut present resides. Surely
our town is getting more like New
York every day.

SPRING OF 1922
ARRIVED TUESDAY
Winter Gives Way To SPRING
Farmers Begin Work Under
Favorable Conditions.

Spring was ushered in on last Tues
day and the change was gladly wei
coined by all of our people. And the
change occurred under the most fav
CRADLE circumstances. During the
winter months that have just passed
we experienced some of the most So
we're weather that has visited ou
shore in many years. In fact it is true
that the winter just past into history
was one of the hardest that we have
known for some time. Snow, ice and
such like were on the program almost
continually until the latter part OF
the winter period and the weather
man got in hard blows even before thf
Christmas tide was over. Hard win
tiers, they say, are excellent for the
farmers, and if this be the case oul
farmers may look for good crops dur
ing the coming year.
With the coming of spring came al
so fine weather, the kind that makes
one feel like living and the farmers
feel like working. And it is true tEat
our farmers have already taken al
vantage of this fact for many of them
arc hard at it getting ready to pitch
their crops. A few more days like
we have had a part of this week and
our tillers of the soil will be well ad-
vanced in their work.
And speaking of crops, it is said b.
those who ought to know, that tn
farmers of this section will seed large
quantities of round potatoes this sea
son. Last year, it will be remember
ca, this crop was almost failure.
Not only was there shortage in TIL
field but the prices were so low that
our farmers got very little for their
work. 1t is hoped that such will not
be the case this year. Discouraged
IN their past experience they hope tc
make up for lost time in this year of
grace 1922.

The lawmakers at Annapolis have
experienced another busy week.
There are now less than two weeks
in which to conclude their labors and
much work is yet to be done. Under
the rules no bills can be introduced
after Friday of this week, March "a,
but many of the committees are still
loaded down with bills that are to be

session, as has always been the case,
will be very strenuous ones. The
chairmen of the various committees
are working overtime in an effort to
avoid great rush on the last day
and it is hoped that they will succeed
IL their endeavors.
The State Educational Bill, as we
stated in our last letter would be the
case, came up in the Senate Monday
evening as the special order of the
day. Opposition to it then collapsed
and the measure was sent to it's third
reading and final passage. The test
CT strength was on the Mish amend
ment, which proposed that all salary
increases should be postponed until
October /, 1924. This was defeated

PROGRESSIVE FIRM
TO MAKE MORE ROOM
H. w. Callahan & Sons Are Max
ing Improvements To Their
Market St. Store.

On Tuesday morning last carpen
t"rs began to ranovate and rearrang.!
the storehouse at the corner OF Mar.
kct street and Clarke avenue no1 oc-
cnpied by H. W. Callahan & Son..
clothing and shoe merchants. This
firm finds that it's increasing TT" &C
d mands more room and in order to
properly care for their customers the
change is being made.
The proposed plans for the interior
we understand, will be that the shoe
and haberdHshery departments will
BE- displayed and operated Natirely On
lllo lower floor and that the second
fcor will oe devoted exclusively t.
the clothing and hat departments.
Mcde1n show cases, silent statesmen
and store fixtures will be installed on
both floors for the convenience Of both
the store force and the public gener-
ally. The stairway will be in the
rcar-centre Of the building and an at
tractive balcony will be arranged
where the offices for the clerical force
will be located.
This evidently means that great
change for the better is to be made at
this popular corner and we feel con-
hdent that when the finishing touches
are put on Callahan & Sons will have
one of the most up-to-date establish
ments of its kind on the shore. We
congratulate the firm upon it's spirit
of improvement and bespeak for them
continued success.
The work is being done by contrac-
tor Henry B. Pilchard and this means
that the owners of the building will
get a good job.

WORCESTER WAS
RAIDED BY U. S.
OFFICIALS FRIDAY
Revenue Men Make First Arrests
In County For Violations Of
The Volstead Act.

For two years and more the provis-
ions Of the Volstead Act have been in
force but it was not until last week
that this section of Worcester county
was made to feel its full meaning.
his time it was not the unexpected
that happened, but it was the expected
ti;at took place. Time was when Wor-
cester county was reckoned among the
law abiding counties of this great
Commonwealth, but it seems that
since the Volstead Act was passed it
has proved itself to be of exception to
the rule, and like all the counties of
; IL the States in the Union law VIOLA
tons are more numerous than ever
before. This does not mean that
" orcester has hit the high water
mark in the way of law violations; on
the contrary we believe that there
are fewer violations here than in most
Ct the counties of the good old State.
On Friday of last week revenue
men found their way into Worcester
and after securing the county for
lhlles, finally made big haul for
section of this kind, capturing four
stills, several quarts of liquor and q
quantity of mash, all of which was
confscated. AS result of their days
work two white men Were put under
bond to appear at the Federal Court
IN Baltimore, a colored man was
placed in Jail and another white man
who was too sick to be moved, placed
"a under arrest. Two of the men in
question, it is said, had in their pos
session a still, lot of mash and a
quart of good corn whisky each, AMI
the colored man was operating a 10
gallon still when the revenue officers
found him. He also had about two
gallons of excellent corn whiskey an
IS gallons of corn mash.
In addition to this the upper part of
the county also suffered at the hands
Of the Government officials. On Sat
Lrday last a still of about 20 gallons
was captured on a houseboat three
miles south of Ocean City in the Sim
epuxent Bay, with considerable llG-
uor and mash aboard. In fact it is
reported that two hundred gallons Of
corn wnisky of an excellent vintage
vas poured over IN the bay. Of course
this makes the mouths of many of our
readers water, but we can't hlcp it;
YOU will have to blame the provisions
Of the. Volstead act for such cruelty.
Nobody claims the still found on the
houseboat and nobody blames them.
1t is also reported that a proprietor
If one of the hotels at Ocean City
was arrested on Saturday last for
having little whisky in his posses-
sion, all of which is of course against
the law.
These folks, all being arrested I'M
Ter the provisions of the Federal law
.fill probably all have to go to Balti-
more to stand trial unless their cases
are otherwise disposed of. In view of
this fact the question naturally arises
II it would not be better to have con-
current legislation, so that the causes
might be disposed of in our own coun.
ty courts? We surely believe so.

Farmers Seeding Potatoes

Despite the wet weather our farm
crs have been putting in their pota-
tees the past week. And why should
they not be thus doing when they
read in the daily papers that Florida
potatoes are selling in the northern
markets for $11.O0 per barrel and
that the general outlook is most en-
couraging. Let us hope that they
reap real harvest this year and thus
start a boom in the business world.
When the farmer starts every wheel
in the great business machine will
begin to work smoothly,

DOROTHY DALTON COMING.
Paramount Star Has Feature Role IN
"Moran of the Lady Lefty"

With Dorothy Dalton in the feature
role, George Melford's big Paramount
production, "Moran Of the Lady Let
ty,' an adaptation Of the novel by
the late Frank Norris, will be shown
at the Columbia theatre Saturday
through Sunday. Rudolph Valentino,
who was featured with Agnes Ayres
in "The Sheik,' Mr.. Melford's pre-
ceeding production, has the male role
of Ramon Laredo. Charles Brindley
is Capt. Sternersen; Emil Jorgensen
plays the part Of Nels; Maude Wayne
is Josephine Herrick; Cecil Holland is
cast as Bill Trim; Walter Long plays
Capt. Kitchell and George Kuwa is
Charlie Wong. This is believed to be
one of the strongest subjects for the
screen that could be found. Frank
Norris was a master story-teller
whose untimely death robbed the
world of literary genius. Moran
of the Lady Lefty" is an adventure
tale of Pacific seas, with thrills and
the salt tang of the ocean in every
scene.

THE FULL WEIGHT GROCERY.

The success achieved by the Full
weight Grocery furnishes evidence of
the truth of the true and trite saying
that "there is more in the man than
in the location" No matter where
located energy and close application
to business, honesty and fair dealing
will draw and retain business. 1t was
not necessary for the Full Weight
Grocery to seek location in the prin-
cipal business section in order to at
tract trade as its location at the cor
ner of North street and Jackson Roac
has drawn a throng of customers
from every section of the city and its
two heavy trucks are kept CONSTANT!
on the move delivering goods North
east and south.
To achieve such wonderful success:
proves conclusively that Mr.. Saurage
the proprietor, is man of fertile
brain and wonderful energy, in whom
customers have firm faith that the!
get in weight and quality what the!
paw for. This establishment is vel
and Justly named Full Weight Gro
cery.

pelling type, gripping and sustained
as to plot and bristling with incident
such is "Travelin' On, the new Will
liam S. Hart production, a Paramount
picture, which will be seen at the

man, and her beauty and forceful act
ing make her ideal. 1t is tale of the
unbridled West, thirty Of forty years
ago-a story that brings the blood
tingling to ones cheekks and causes
the spectator to sit spellbound till the
final scene.
Mr.. Hart had the story "up his
sleeve for long time, and finally
developed it into its present striking
form. 1t was produced with skill and
cleverness, and it touches the deepest
recesses Of the heart in it's steady de-
velopment to a smashing climox.
