Spring Is With Us;
Attend To Your LoUns

The warm days of the past weeks
and the budding of the trees remind
rs that Spring is with us again. This
means that it is time to do the plant
ing act. Many, of course, have al
ready planted part of their gardens
and others will now get busy. Ana
while this is being done it is not amiss
TO call the attention of our readers to
their lawns. Pocomoke City has. al
ways been no:ed for its beautiful
lawns and We must not fall back III
this particular. Nothing adds more
TO the beauty and attractiveness of a
town than pretty, velvety lawns, with
an occasional rosebush or other
blooming flowers dotted about the
premises. They not only add to the
beauty of the premises but they make
life worth while. Now is the time to
give the lawn attention and we feel
sure that our people will not neglect
this important matter and thus keep
Tocomoke City in the list of the pref
w and attractive towns of the State

TELLS OF GOVERNOR
RITCHIE'S TRIUMPH
Paul Winchester Says Executive
Was In Control OF Legislature
From Beginning To End.

State House, Annapolis April 18th
The General Assembly adjourned last
night in the usual style. Confusion
end a mild sort of pandemonium
reigned throughout the last hours, but
not until all the important measures
had been considered and either passed
or rejected. Many were passed which
ought to have been thrown out, and
not a few were thrown out which
ought to have been passed.
The outstanding feature of the ses-
sion was the fact that from the open
ing day until the final adjournment
last night, Governor Richie was in al
nost absolute control. His serious
illness in January delayed action sew
eral weeks, but even then his desires
dominated everything in the State
.ouse. Efforts were made in ratll-
or feeble way to throw off the yoke
OF the Executive, but they awaited
rothing-his word in the end was law
and he put through his entire pro-
gram without a single exception. No
Governor of Maryland in its entire
history, and probably no Governor of
any other of the United States ever
succeeded as Governor Richie has
lone during the last three months in
carrying out his will in Legislative
tody. The nearest approach to it
was the domination of Congress by
President Wilson, and his control was
nothing like as complete as that of
the Maryland Governor over the Cen
eral Assembly. For good or evil, the
legislators did his will and at all
times yielded to his wishes. The old
State organization, which in times
past was supreme in the State House,
was powerless before him, land, after
one or two weak efforts to assert its
authority, fell obediently into line and
worked in his train. Even the repub-
lean members made no protest, and
silently and without protest, though
1T times unwillingly, aided in carry
ng out his behests. And all this was
done without fuss or show, but with
quiet and efficient dignity.
And, next to the Governor in re-
joicing over the out come of the ses-
SION, is Mr.. John ]. Mahon, now the
undisputed leader and boss of the Bal
iimore city democrats. The basis of
rhe Governors success was the I'M
.werving support his enemy measure
received from the % members of the
House of Delegates from Baltimore
city. He says himself that if he had
not been backed from the beginning
by Mr.. Mahon and his delegates in the
House, and the city members of the
Senate, his program would probably
have mutiliated or defeated, and thus
Lave been practically failure-and
everyone familiar with the work of
session knows that such is the case
that the basis of the Governors con-
troll over the General Assembly was
me 90 members in the city delegation
sll of whom were under the influence
of Mr.. Mahon.

MY CREED.

l believe in love, faith and hope,
In the victory of truth,
The broad'ning of our mental scope,
The deathless spirit of youth.
To me life is a privilege
Whose happiness all should share,
The waste of time is sacrilege;
Our deeds should voice our prayer.
Life's but chain on which to string
The moments of time We spend,
A battling, mysterious thing,
Unknown beginning and end.
] believe in growth of the soul,
In holding fast to the best,
That only through our self-control
Can we reach the realms most blest.
] perceivethe divine in man
And feel l can always trace
Embodiment of our Makers plan
In each earth-stained human face.
I've faith in an unseen power
That ever augments our own,
A presence by day and by hour
That never leaves us alone.
l know that nothing can sever
From me the best which is mine;
That undimmed now and forever
Like gems fine characters shine.
Pm sure there's joy in living,
That clouds do not come to stay;
That blessedness comes from giving
Most Of our sunshine away.
l believe in the dawn of better day;
That the heart of the world is kind;
That love alone leads the upward way
And the mightiest force is the mind.

Arundel county, explaining his vote
declared that. while he was not fol
the bill, he had been one of the most
earnest advocates of a referendum tc
the Prohibition bill and, as this meas
ure carried a referendum feature, he
was in favor of submitting it to the
people of the State for answer.
If the bond issue is approved at the
polls the money is to be distributed

the following manner:
Ten dollars per month for every
month of service for all Marylander'

GLUTEN FEED FOR FALL PIGS
Corn Is Not az Satisfactory for Swine
as II Is for Sheep and Dairy
Cattle.

1t has been found that corn gluten
meal is not extremely satisfactory as
a feed for fattening fall pigs. 1t Is
not nearly so good feed for hogs as
for cattle and sheep. 1t brings better
results with dairy cattle than with
beef steers. 1t seems that the most
satisfactory returns are made from
corn gluten feed for hogs when 1t is
fed In self-feeder alone with corn
settled In another feeder and tank
age In a third feeder. The results are
improved If this feed is fed In connec-
ton with good pasture.
