tempt to curb their business. A pro-
hibition agent who left his automo-

pinned to the seat of the car on
which was crudely scrawled, Don't

1t was in this section, which is one
of the most isolated and swamp
ridden portions of the county that a
posse of dry agents had an all-night
gun-battlc with some moonshiners
two weeks ago and in which the ale
ged ring leader of the moonshiners
escaped. The officers succeeded in
locating and destroying the huge still,
he was accused of operating.

MARRIED IN RICHMOND

Miss Cleo f. Straughn Mariner,

ATLANTIC HOTEL
HAS NEW OWNER
A Well-knOwn Ocean City Hotel
Purchased BY DIR. Purnell
/ OF POcOmoke City

1'he announcement of the purchase
Of the Atlantic Hotel at Ocean City
by DR.. Charles W. Purnell has been
received with Il great deal of interest
by the patrons of this well known
hostelry, as we'll as by the large num-
ber of visitors to this popular sum
mer resort, to whom the Atlantic
Hotel is a notable landmark. DR..
Purnell plans extensive improve
ments to the property. and in the con-
duct and management of the hotel he
will be satisfied to give his patrons
nothing short of the best in accom-
modations and service, while the culi-
nary department will be kept up to a
high degree of excellence.
Announcement that Philadelphia
interests have leased the Casino in
the Perskie building for vaudeville
and moving pictures, is sharing the
interest of the public in the sale and
consequent change in the manage
ment of the Atlantic Hotel. The
leSSeeS of the Casino are Nixon &
Nirdlinger, we'll known theatrical pro
ducers of Philadelphia. In their man
agement of the Casino the new pro-
prietors may be depended on to give
their patrons a high grade of vaude-
vile performances, and the best NOV
ing pictures that are produced. This
will fill a long felt want at Ocean City
and will be an additional attraction
to the many other interesting fea
lures.
With the ocean front protected by
jettieS; with plans for an improved
road running northward under way;
with Ocean City enjoying an unpre-
cedented building boom; with her eX
tensive pound fisheries; with impor-
tant and constantly increasing acti-
witty in the oyster and clam industry
in Sinepuxent Bay, due to the sailing
of the waters of the'bay through the
natural inlet, Ocean City is bee hive
of activity, and is looking forward
with confidence to.the future. Hotels
and boarding houses are already be-
ing renovated and prepared for the
summer visitors; cottages are at a
premium; and soon the influx of visit
ors will begin. When the guests be-
gin to arrive by train and automo-
biles, Ocean City will be ready for
them; ready with better accommo-
dations, more entertaining and at
tractive features. and heartier wei
come than ever before.
incidentally, ii may not be amiss
to note that the jetties will not de-
tract from the fine qualities of the
bathing beach, than which there is
none better along the entire Atlantic
Coast.

OUTLOOK GOOD
FOR BERRY CROP
Good Prices Prevail And Prospects
Are Fairly Good For Growers
On The Peninsula

Although the strawberry crop was
cut short by the freeze of several
weeks ago, quite jag of them is
being shipped from Snow Hill and
other stations in Worcester County.
Prices this week have ranged from
$5.75 for a 32-quart crate, down to
$4.00.
The main crop will commence to be
marketed next week.
Conservative estimates around Mar
ion Station, the greatest berry market
in the world, are for record break
ing yield this season. The acreage is
exceptionally large, and although
there was ice and frost when the
early berry was in blossom it is said
that the reported damage was greatly
exaggerated.
Practically every farmer has some
acreage planted in Strawberries and it
is estimated that the berry acreage in
this county has increased from 10 to
80 per cent. over 1920 and 1921. In
1920 the major portion of farming
land was planted in tomatoes because
of the high prices Of that commodity
at that time. Berries were neglected
and the crop small in comparison with
that of former years. With a slump
now in the tomato market, and very
little demand, the conditions are now
reversed and farmers have directed
their energies to n greater strawberry
production.
The highest prices are paid in COM
pettive bidding at the auction block
and cash is paid upon delivery of the
berries at the car. When the big
shipment is on between May 18th and
Goth the buyers expect to ship be-
tween 500 and 600 cars, as against
100 cars last season. The normal
yield of berries is about IS crates to
the acre and the shipments from Mar
ion alone this season will be several
hundred cars.
The berry season has created an
influx of berry pickers into this coun-
ty from Virginia. Baltimore and other
points to the extent of several thou
sand. and the amount paid the pickers
will run into the thousands of dollars.

Pocomoke H. S.
Wins Ball Pennant

By defeating Snow Hill last Friday
on their home grounds, the Pocomoke
boys won the county championship in
the High School Baseball League.
The score was to 0 in favor of POGO
moke.
On Tuesday, the Snow Hill boys
went to Berlin to play a postponed
game with the Berlin boys, and suf-
fered the worst defeat of the season,
being held runless for nine innings,
while the Berlin boys were piling up
score of fifteen runs.
Today friday, Berlin comes to
Snow Hill for the final game in the
High School schedule, and on Wednes-
day the Salisbury boys play return
game here.
The Snow Hill boys have great
deal of latent ability, and are capable
of playing better ball than they have
done in their recent games. All base
ball teams have what is termed
"slumps," and here's hoping that the
Snow Hill boys will recover, and show
their true form in the remaining
games. Here's also hoping that the
''fans" will encourage them to their
best efforts.

Lime Demonstration
AT Holloway's Farm

County Agent, +. |. Oswald has
taler over niEe acre field on the
farm of Mr. William Holloway upon
which he is conducting domonstra-
ton to show the effect of various
forms of lime in increasing crop
yields.
Mr.. Oswald is working in coopera-
tion with the University of Maryland,
L. S. Department of Agriculture and
the Eastern Bureau of the National
Lime Association of Washington, the
latter furnishing the lining mater
ials.
On Wednesday, May 10th, the lime
was applied to the plots which are
located on the Queponco county road
running from Newark to Wilton.
1t is the County Agents intention
to have this field serve as an object
lesson to the farmers of this section
of the state by indicating to them the
effect of lime in increasing yields
under actual farming conditions.
1t is proposed to observe the effect
of the lime not only upon the corn
crop to which it is being applied but
also on the succeeding crops. Corn
will be followed by wheat with grass
seeded in the wheat.
Stakes mark the boundaries of the
different sections receiving the lime
also those where no lime was applied.
Each plot will be harvested separate
~ and accurate records of the yields
taken during the period of the rota-
tion.
Mr., Holloway is to be commended
for his enterprise and community
spirit in securing this demonstration
and for his willingness to carry out
this work for the benefit of better
agricultural practice on the Eastern
Shore.

ARMY OF 100000
Is AGREED UPON
Bitter Fight With House Expected
Over Boost Of $4,000 Men
Pershing Will Advise

Washington, May l7.-An army of
100000 men, with an average officer
strength for next year of approxi-
mately 1850, was agreed upon late
today by the Senate Appropriation
subcommittee which has charge of
the measure.
The subcommittee draft of the War
Department Appropriation bill, which
has yet to be acted on by the full
committee, proposes an increase of
$4,000 in the enlisted personnel and
about $500 in officers over the House
provisions. The officer-strength is
predicated upon the bill suggested by
General Pershing, and his proposals
as to methods of cutting the present
number of officers were accepted by
the subcommittee in principle.
