For several years. this county has
been sending charity patients to the
Peninsula General Hospital at Sails

The surgeons and attending doctors
receive no pay AT all. The patients
get excellent attention. Everything
possible is done for their comfort and
recovery. and with few exceptions,
they are all loud in their praise of
their treatment there.
The hospital is God-send to this
section of the State. and the chief
surgeon. Or. Dick. has operated will
ingly on all eases sent to him without
any charge at all. 1t costs over
>3,OO0O0 year to keep the charity
cases from this county alone, and
when there is a deficit from the State
appropriation. the Superintendent has
TO solicit money from the people of
Salisbury.
The people of this county are going
90 send over donation next week
as slight token OF their apprecia
tion of the work done for our poor
people: many of whom would be in

ment which they have received with

fruits, dried fruits. potatoes, eggs,
etc, TO the grand jury room in the

WALTER MILLER
RESIGNS POSITION
VI. B. Thawley. of Crisiield. l. New
Head of Peninsula Circuit.

Salisbury, Md. Nov. l7-The
status of the Eastern Shore League,
under which the initial seasons sched-
ule was played, was changed in al
most every feature at the meeting of
the club officials today. The repre-
scntatives having the official votes in
the proceedings were: Pocomoke, NJ.
l.. Veasey; Parksley, Harry Rev;
Crisfeld, NJ. B. Thawley; Cambridge,
S. II. Henry; Laurel, A. S. Williams;
Salisbury, l.. W. Gunby.
The league during the 1923 season
will be composed of eight clubs. The
applications of Milford and Dover
have been accepted by a vote of ! to
2, Pocomoke City and Parksley re-
questing that the final vote be de-
layed until a later meeting. DR.. Wal
ter l.. Grier represented the former
club at the session, the Dover repre-
sentative was unable to be present.
Each was granted vote on the meas
ures.
Walter Il. Miller rendered his resig-
nation as president. By unanimous
vote NJ. b. Thawlcy, of Crisfield, was
selected to head the league for the
ensuing year. Miller was elected
vice-prcsident and c. Victor Mat
thews, of Cambridge, reelected treas
urer, the secretary to be named later.
The league treasurer reported a
cash balance of $1,52S.29. A dividend
of $3.50 of this amount was given each
of the origina, clubs. The salary
limit of the players in the Shore cir
cult was increased from $l.750 a
month to $4,000. The limit will ap-
ply to players only and not on a
managers salary as long as he oc-
cupies the bench, but should the
manager of any club participate in
the games then his salary would be
deducted from the amount devoted
to the players.
Due to the short-playing schedule
during the past season, the clubs were
unable to produce the calibre player
that the fans desired. To cope with
this situation, the number of sched-
uled games has been increased from
10 to 81, the season to end on Labor
Day, as formerly, and include a neces-
sary number of open dates. The
schedule committee is composed of
Henry W. Ruark, of Salisbury; Harry
Rev, ParkSley, and Dr. Walter l..
Grier, Milford.
General admission of 10 cents will
remain. A S75 guarantee will be
made to the visiting club, the surplus
to be divided fifty-fifty between the
clubs, after a deduction of 10 per cent
for overhead expenses and 10 per
cent. of the remainder to the league.
The $40 rain guarantee svill remain.
Optimism prevailed at the meeting
for successful season next year

Commission to Fix Beer Kick
Plan of Senator Spencer, of Missouri

Washington, Nov. 2l-Appointmcnt
of a Federal "beer-testing commits
although it will have more
high-sounding title than that's to
be proposed by Senator Spencer, Re
publican, of Missouri.
Senator Spencer wants the Govern
ment officially and scientifically to de-
termine what sort of beer is "intoXi-
eating" Let the alcoholic content by
volume run what it may, the Senator
rather dry himself, will demand a
judicial determination. Senator Spen-
GERS resolution is now in course of
preparation and will be offered in the
next few days.
Would Be Named BY Harding.
President Harding would be given
the authority to name the personnel
of the beer commission. II is. Sug-
gested here that the President should
have no trouble whatsoever in obtain
ing acceptances. Indeed, the impress
sion seems to be that number of
public spirited men will be willing to
serve without compensation.
Senator Spencer is serious about
the beer controversy. During the
Missouri campaign he said on the
stump that he favored Federal COM
mission to go into the controversy
about when beer is or is not intoNi-
eating. Even Mr.. Volstead and the
Supreme Court agree that one-half
of / per cent beer has no "kick" in it,
There are drinkers of experience,
however, who insist that 2.75 per cent
beer, or 4.6 per cent beer, is harmless
and kickless-unless a fellow wants
to swim around in it.
In this connection, Representative
John Philip Hill. of Maryland, today
put in his bill to pay the soldier bonus
by tan on 2.75 per cent. beer at the
rate of 20 cents per gallon.
Representative Fred A. Britten, Of
Illinois, went the Marylander one bet
ter by introducing a soldier bonus bill
and proposing to raise the funds by Il
tax on both beer and light wines. The
Brtten bill provides for 4 per cent
beer and Ia per cent. wines with high
er taxes on imported than domestic
wines and beers.
The Britten bill calls for tax of
10 er barrel on domestic and $50
arrel on imported beer; 50 per
on domestic wines; So Il gal

a imported champagnes. II in

in NEARBY TOWNS
AT RESERVE

Jack Gibbons, depot agent at Re-
serve, shot one Louis Horseman, pool
hall proprietor of that city, in the
foot last Monday evening, when
Horseman and a companion ordered
him to stop as he was leaving the de-
pot for his home. Horseman was not
seriously, yet very painfully injured.
The bullet from the six-shooter in the
hands of Gibbons lodged among the
numerous bones of Horseman's foot.
Horseman came to Plentywood in a
car with George Lund and had the
foot dressed by DR.. Campbell and
then returned to his home at Re-
serve where he is recovering.
A warrant was sworn out for Glib
bons by Horseman Monday night be-
fore Judge Olson and Under Sheriff
Salisbury went to Reserve and ar
roster Gibbons Tuesday and Gibbons
appeared before the judge and asked
for a hearing, which was granted, to
take place just as soon as County At
torney Erickson returned from the

1t seems that Horseman and a num-
Der of his friends had been making
threats against Gibbons for some
time and had been making a general
nuisance out of themselves and this
they were on the track when
Gibbons came out of the depot and
called 10 him to halt as they want
