SECOND COLORED FAIR
HELD HERE THIS WEEK
Second Annual Meet Staged On
Grounds Of Pocomoke Fair
Association.

The second annual fair of the POGO
moke Colored Agricultural Fair Asso-
citation was held this week on the
grounds of the Pocomoke Fair ASS
citation. The meet began on Tuesday
and continued for four days and
from reports proved even greater
success than last year.
AS l.. the case with most fairs,
Thursday was the banner day, and
many colored folks from all sections
Of the peninsula were present to en-
joy the events.
We have no hesitancy in stating
that Tie fair was a credit to the color
ed folks of this community, and they
are entitled to credit for the success,
which attended their efforts.
While we did not witness any of the
racing events, we are told that some
fast horses competed for first honors
The exhibits were highly creditabe.
Especially was this true of the Ag-
ricultural department where some
fine specimens of farm products were
exhibited. The domestic department
was also we'll filled and this, too,
was also a great credit to them. The
music was of high class order and
the midway attractions, which were
innocent in nature, proved great
drawing card. The best of all WIS
that good order prevailed from start
to finish.
Samuel A. Long is president of the
enterprise, Edward Victor, secretary
and Horace Dickerson, treasurer, I'll
of whom have the respect of POGO
moke people.

LlQUIDATEs DEBT TO FRANCE
In Sending Prune Trees to Devastated Country, California Is Repaying
 an Obligation.

California Is generously sending a million and a half two-year-Old prune trees to help in restoring the French orchards, and enough seed beans to plant 600OO acres Canada is under taking the planting of thousands of Canadian naples in France. It Is pleasant also 10 know that there Is to be no lack of outside help for the dev- astated towns, observes Christian Sci ence Monitor, In stating these facts. English and American architects are at work on plans for new buildings to replace those razed by the guns, both in Belgium and in France.
 The Indianapolis News sees senti- ment in the prune tree transaction. + says: "These trees are expected to con vert 15,0O0 acres into bearing orchards in two years. It was France which, in 1856, gave to California her first prune trees. The prune, which since then has filled many a gap on the table of the American boarding houses, and has borne the brunt of many jest, keeps right on proving it's worth"

NEED FOR NEW CABLE

While it is unfortunate that the item appropriating $1,50O,O00 for the dupli- cation of the Alaska cable, was elimi- mated from the Deficiency Appropria- tion Bill, there is hope in the announc- ment that it will be included in the 1922 budget The Alaska cable is a necessity to business and the Govern ment services in Alaska. It is paying good interest in the investment in it, and that it ought to be renewed is be ing demonstrated several time each year, when the breaks occur and the cable is idle, anywhere from few days to few weeks, while costly re- pairs are being made.
 The business of Alaska is great enough to have two cables. It ought to be so that the service would not be interrupted at all. If not two cables, there should be a repair ship at each end of the line, and particularly at the Alaska end. The breaks that cause Interruptions in the cable service usu- ally occur near one end of the line or the other and more often in inland waters of the Alaska end than any where else.-Juneau Empire.

Troops Suffered From Thirst.

Some of the hardships experienced by the British forces in Palestine are described in letter received by a friend in Montreal from a priest. The letter. written shortly before the fall of Jerusalem. tells of a day early in November when a camel convoy from Berrsheba was unable to reach the men then fighting for the deliverance of the Holy City from the Turk.
 "There was hot wind blowing wrote the priest. "A tumbler full of water was left in my bottle, which I divided between four officers whose lips were split and covered with a green slime That afternoon I had a burial service, and literally I could not articulate without keeping my hand to my mouth and pulling my lower lip off my teeth, while bullets from a concealed sniper whizzed past us. in the evening water came in enough to give each one bottle-quite made quate."

Communal Kitchens.

The latest proposal for the elimina- ton of waste in food and the supply of meals at minimum cost in England. Includes, what for better term is called, communal feeding. The com munal kitchen has been proposed on several occasions but, save for few spasmodic experiments, it has not been given a thorough trial. Lord Rhondds is interested in the new proposal and acting with committee of social workers he Is devising plans to give the scheme real test. With so many women doing war work and with con- seouent neglect of household duties, some such plan as is proposed fill have to be carried out if the rising generation is not to suffer seriously !n health.

 The result is that the freight rate between Seattle and Fairbanks has al ready been fixed. at least tentatively. Every other community in Alaska seo~1s 1o be advised on the matter ex- ccpt Seward. Wm. Gerig, who passed through here a short time ago, told a representative of the Valdez Miner at VI dez, that the rate had been fixed at s45,0O Reports from other commun ities who have been advised on the matter agree that the rate has been fixed at $45,00 per ton and that the re- port of the tariff committee has been r rded to Washington for the con-

REMINDER OF PAST DAYS
Authors Depletion of "Tourist" Printer Will Be Recognized as Drawn
 Frora Life.

Thrilling adventures of the old jour- heyman printers are contained in These Shifting Scenes" by Charles Edward Russell These wanderers roamed from town to town, denounc- Ing everything ou side of New York as unit for consideration, and returning by way of freight trains once year for visit to that Mecca of journalists. MT. Russell describes a typical mem- Der of the guild, one "ScOtty."
 This solid and sorry ragamuffin had so often escaped violent death that he was convinced of a destiny to die of disease and was far more fearful of drinking contaminated water than Of riding on car trucks. Once as he chung to the bumpers of freight car mad or intoxicated brakeman had fired i've revolver shots at him and every shot had clipped or gone through Scotty's hat. Whereupon the brakeman. prob ably convinced that he had seen a ghost, leaped from the train and was killed.
 ''N'NitI Illllto kCCOlIy hli bSSA 'A train wrecks. Once the car was on fire and he was pinned down by pile of joist, but two brakemen worked with frenzied zeal until they freed him and saved his life; and then pur- sued him down the track pelting him with coal for stealing a ride.
 His walking experiment was made in 1874 when business was depressed and the country was full of tramps He joined a colony of these and so great was the terror they inspired that the farmers used to come every morn ing with presents of chicken and milk :; but as a matter of fact the tramps were the most harmless of men.

sideration of Secretary Fall.
 Every town along the Government Railroad seems to have had an oppor- tunity to be heard before the tariff committee that fixed these rates eX- cept Seward eW were not presented with an engraved invitation to the eff feet that our presence at the hearing of this committee would give them great pleasure. But some people in Seward were at least informed, either directly or indirectly, that something of this nature was taking place and that Seward was not taking part. They should have made more strenuous effort to be heard. Some tried hard enough but received no support from the vast majority
 The exact interest which Seward has in the fixing of the freight rates between Seattle and Fairbanks is this, The freight rate over the government railroad must be fixed so that Seward will have an equal chance with An chorage at the Interior trade In other words the rate between Seattle and Fairbanks, via Seward, should be the same, or very nearly the same as the rate between Seattle and Fairbanks via Anchorage.
 The result of this would not be un- fair to Anchorage It would enable the interior people to ship throughout the year at nearly uniform rate. It would create greater tonnage and a more evenly distribution of the annual ton mage over the railroad. And last and not least it would be square deal to Seward.
