Democratic Candidate For U.
S. Senate To Speak In
County Tuesday
GOLDSBOROUGH WILL
ALSO ADDRESS VOTERS

Campaigns of the opposing candid
ates for the United States Senate and
House of Representatives got into full
swing this week. Hon. William Cabell
Bruce and Senator Joseph l. France
have both been touring the Eastern
Shore this week, holding meetings at
the various towns. Governor Ritchie
and Hon. Robert E. Lee, of Baltimore
are in the Bruce-Goldsborough item
ary and all Of these gentlemen will ad-
dress mass-meeting at the Arcade
Theatre in Salisbury this Saturday
evening.
Next Tuesday afternoon at Snow
Hill, big Democratic meeting will be
held at which Hon. William Cabell
Bruce, Hon. T. Alan Goldsborough
and other prominent men will speak.
The visits of Mr.. Bruce to various
parts of the state are arousing much
enthusiasm and will prove tremen-
dous aid in inducing the voters to
turn out. From the time he first
spoke, at Leonardtown, October 9Th,
he has had enthusiastic audiences. His
visits to LaPlata, Prince Frederick,
Marlboro, the Bel Air Fair, the Hag-
erstown Fair, Towson, Ellicott City,
Centreville, Chestartown, Elkton, the
Frederick Fair and Easton were all
marked by remarkable pledges of sup
port from leading men and women.
The balance of his schedule which will
take him to Salisbury, Denton, Snow
Hill, Princess Anne, Cambridge, An
rapolis, Westminster, Bel Air, Cum
b2rland and Rockville is confdentally
expected to produce the same fine re-
suits.
In every section Mr.. Bruce is being
told that not only will the people give
HIM a majority, but that the congress
sional ticket will receive splendid
support, in view of the fact that the
voters as a whole are disgusted with
the course of the Republican national
administration.

Another Bundle Day To
Help Near East Refugees

Reports from Constantinople, NIFTY
lene, Athens and Salonika to Mary
land Headquarters, Near East. via
New York, show that the refugee sit
uation is growing increasingly serious
and that the total number of refugees
may be 100000. Food and clothing
are critically needed, for not only are
many of the great throng of refugees
on the islands and other places a.
round Smyrna starving but they are
in rags. some of them are naked.
To get clothing for them, Maryland
Headquarters will soon announce a
Bundle Day all over the state and the
people of Maryland, who have been SO
generous in the past, says Harold F.
Pellegrin, state director, are asked to
give old and new clothing, to these
people who are suffering agonies,
many of them not only physically but
mentally, they having lost dear ones,
in the great fire, or by the Turks.

The result of the registration thru
out the State, while the number OF
names on the lists here in Baltimore
is unreasonably small compared with
the number of people who are entitled
to vote, is more than satisfactory to
the democrats, the party on the affll-
lated list exceeding the republicans
by three thousand. So far as the
State as a whole is concerned the
democrats registered have plurality
of fifty thousand, and, if they cannot
win the election it will be their own
fault, But there are all sorts of signs
that this is a democratic year. The
republicans are showing no real in
terest in the contest. AS a general
thing they ignored the registration,
and allowed that important feature OF
the contest to go default. The colored
voters especially paid no attention
whatever to the registration here IN
Baltimore, and only about half the
number entitled to be on the books
had their names placed there, and the
city leaders made no special effort to
get the republican voters to go to the
registration offices. Reports from all
sections of the State show the same
condition of affairs, and it is the gen
eral impression that the republicans
have given up the fight land that the
democratic candidates will have easy
sailing and will be elected by unusual
majorities.
In direct contrast with the indiffer-
ence and inertia shown by the repub-
licans, the democrats are showing
signs of being wide awake, and the
candidates are busy canvassing the
State from end to end. Governor Rit-
chic has put on his war paint, and il

A new BOOK ON THE
DELMARVIA PENINSULA
Contains Valuable Information And
Attractive Views Of The
Eastern Shore.

Edward Noble Vallandigham, LII.
L., son of the late Rev. James L..
Vallandigham, who just before the
Civil War period was much beloved
pastor of several of the ancient Pres
byterian churches on the lower Eas-
tern Shore, and afterwards in upper
Delaware, has just completed book
entitled Delaware and the Eastern
Shore" published by j. B. Lippin-
pincott Co., of Philadelphia, Pa.
1t is artistical'y bound and printed
and filled with many attractive views
of our Peninsula. 1t contains much
interesting information in most
readable form and is different from
any other book concerning Delmarvia
heretofore published The author is
native of the peninsula and is a
graduate of the University Of Della
ware, where he was at one time Prof
essor of Literature. His mother was
Miss Spence of Snow Hill, Md. He
is a we'll known writer and newspaper
correspondent and now resides in BoS-
ton, Mass.
A few years ago the Philadelphia
Record published a popular series of
illustrated articles by this author con-
cerning the Peninsula.
We welcome this latest addition to
the literature Of the Peninsula and
are glad to note that it contains a
full appreciation of the people and
places on this Peninsula with de-
lightful New England viewpoint ap-
pearing here and there in it.

INCREASED YIELDS
FROM use OF LIME
Demonstrations Held In County Last
Spring By County Agent Pro-
ductive Of Results.

The attention of the farmers of
Worcester county was called through
the press in the spring to an extensive
lime demonstration being conducted
by William Holloway, president of
the Newark Farmers Club, cooperat-
ing with the Extension Service of the
University of Maryland and the Ma
tional Lime Association.
This demonstration, as stated, is to
run over a duration of five years and
the effects to be noted on all the crops
OF five year rotation, namely, corn,
wheat, clover, timothy and potatoes.
1t is, therefore, impossible to give the
results, except to mention those OBJ
tanned this week, when the County
Agent with Mr.. Holloway made ac-
curate records by weighing the corn
Yields from all the plots. 1t is very
evident that the soils of that section
ere deficient In lime. Without an ex-
ception all the plots showed a marked
increase in yield where the different
ferns of lime were used,
The highest yielding lime plot gave
S0.8 bushels of shelled corn per acre,
while the lowest yielding plot, where
nc lime was applied, gave 49.2 BUSH
els of shelled corn per acre. An aver
age gain over the whole nine acre
demonstration was 9% bushels of
shelled corn per acre in favor of the
lined plots. This would no doubt
have been much more marked had the
season not been so extremely wet.
Mr.. Holloway has kept excellent
records and the results gotten from
this demonstration will no doubt be a
guide to the farmers throughout the
county who practice regular rota-
ton.
The public will be kept in touch
from time to time of the developments
as they occur on this demonstration.

MARYLAND BOYS AHEAD
in JUDGING CATTLE
Hartford County Agricultural Club
Team Wins First Prize At Ma
tional Dairy Show.

Invading the great mid-western dai-
~ section of the country and captur-
ing first place in the junior dairy cat
tie judging contest at the National
rairy Show at st. Paul, Minn., Satur-
cay, October Z, Maryland agricultur-
al club boys have won 1ls2ir second
livestock Judging contest of national
scope and Importance within year.
While a Maryland team was sue
cessful in winning the national live
stock judging contest at the South
eastern Fair at Atlanta, Ga, last Oc.
tober with its prize trip to Europe, the
victory at st. Paul last Saturday is
the first which Maryland boys have
captured at the National Dairy Show
Two years ago when the Maryland
team first made its appearance in the
show, the team placed fourth and last
year came fifth.
The Maryland team was composed
c, Hubert Snodgrass, Richard N.Wills
and Charles Fendall Gushing, all OF
Hartford county. They were selected
to represent the state in the dairy cat
tie judging contest held at the Tim
onium State Fair during September.
All the boys are members of agricul'
tural clubs in Hartford county and re
ccived their preliminary training from
County Agent B. B. Derrick, Assis-
tant County Agent, G. r. Stnutz ano
specialists of the University of Mary
land Extension Service in preparation
for the Timonium contest.
Under the rules governing the con-
test the boys were required to place
in the order of merit four specimens
or each of the four dairy breeds
Guernseys, Jerseys, Holsteins and Ay
shires and to give written reasons fol
their selections.
The team was accompanied by P
". Chichester, assistant state boys
club agent, and B. B. Derrick, County
Agent of Hartford county,
The expenses of the team to st
Pul this year were paid by contribu-
tons from livestock breeders through
out the State who were interested in
the project, by Louis McLane Merry
man, of Cockeysville, and by the
Rockville and Hartford County FAN
Associations,

Democrats In Majority.

Of the $4,000 newly registered
voters in Baltimore, about 10000 are
men, mixing approximately 67 per
cent, and $4,000 are women, or a.
bout 93 per cent. On partisan lines
the democrats have much the better
of the republicans, enrolling 100000,
against $4,000 for the Republican par
ty. AS the declined registration was
about 10000, the democrats have a
clear plurality by generous margin.
