eating bobbed hair as the latest in
coiffure effects and enjoying the
bright lights OF big town, Homer
Stafford, 20 years old, OF Harring-
ton. Del. had a real good time in
Philadelphia Then his funds ran

much peeved at Homer's duphcity
on the say so OF Homer, who wrote
home and pictured the wonders OF
Philadelphia, three Harrington
girls went there just before Christ
mas as Homer's guests. They OBJ
tanned quarters near Nineteenth
and Cayuga streets and then begar
one continuous round Of pleasure
and sightseeing.
When the combined funds OF tho
four ran low, Stanord's native tai
ent asserted itself. and according tC
Detective Williamson of Philadel
phia, who followed his hectic trail
he suggested a grand "bobbing
party as a means of obtaining moro
money. Following out the sugges
ton, the three girls hied themselve
to a barber shop and there ant
then sacrificed their curls.
Now" said Stafford, as he sur
veyed the shorn ones with satisfac
ton. you are right in style. Tomor
row we will visit the mayor ant
members Of council and obtain som
desirable positions"
Before the visit to Philadelphia
! city hall was made, the youth, &C
cording to Williamson. thought o
! his friend Levan and on the strengtl
OF their coming from the same tow

EAsrON, Nd, Jan. I'd. NJ
Shamburger, Of the Agricultural
corporation OF Maryland, addressed
the members Of the Talbot County
Farmers Federation here yesterday
afternoon. He explained the State
wide organization and asked the
local body TO affiliate.
While some few members look
with favor on the new organization.
the officers Of the federation in gem
eral are opposed to the movement as
long as II is not confined exclusively
to organized bodies Of farmers. II
was stated by prominent farmers
here that II the State organization
is boosted along by the local people
the county federation will be sup
planted by the new company and the
laborious work Of getting about 900
farmers in line will be lost.
Mr.. Shamburger stated that. a
phosphate combination Of 800. .0OO,-
600 capitalization is being formed
to control the fertilizer trade. and II
the farmers are not organized in
sufficient strength these interests will
dictate to the growers Just what they
must pay. He further stated that
when a farmer buys anything nc
has to pay the price demanded. and
when he sells anything he takes
what Is offered. This, in his opinion
he said, must be altered by organ
ization.
The local organization purchased
fertilizer last season at $40 a ton. and
Mr.. Shamburger was asked what
price he could offer He was not pre-
pared to say now, therefore the Of
