W0MAN'S AUXILIARY
MEETS AT TYASKIN
Delegates Present From Pocomoke,
Berlin, Mardela Springs
And Salisbury

Worcester and Wicomico counties
held their inter-parochial meeting OF
the Woman's Auxiliary in st. Mary's
Church, Tyaskin, Tuesday, June 10.
Delegates were present from Ber-
lin, Mardela, Salisbury, and Pocomoke
City. Those attending from POGO
moke were as follows: Mr.. and Mrs
w. U. Schoolfeld, Mrs. H. S. Sher-
wood, Misses Mamie Cluff, Harriet
Hayward, Rev. G. v. and Mrs. Bell.
Morning prayer was said in the
church at II o'clock. The rector well
coined all to the parish and bespoke
a day Of devotion, business and pleas
ure. Bishop Davenport preached the
sermon and wildly pictured the
church as an institution that the gates
of hell has not prevailed against as
yet, and pointed our insecurity unless
we are efficient In guarding against
the wiles of evil.
After the service all proceeded to
Waterview, where luncheon was serv-
ed on the lawn. The boxes were nu-
merous and the inner man was sup
piled with abundance. Following this
came the business session, out in the
open. A beautiful panorama of sky
and sea, with the guardian lighthous-
es standing out in relief on lowlands
in the distance. Sail and steamer
piled the waters of the Nanticoke, and
there under the trees, famed by q
''briny" breeze all listened attentive
ly to the interesting reports of the
delegates. Rev. Mr.. Kloman, of Sal
isbury, told of some interesting E.
vents connected with his work in
North Dakota. About o'clock the
trip homeward began, all inspired and
encouraged with the days work.

P0C0MOKE LOSES GRIP
ON FIRST POSITION
Team Seems To Be In A Batting
Slump And Hot Weather To
Affect The Pitchers

The Salamanders, since our last is
sue have been through a scathing fire,
and have come out of it considerably
scorched. At this writing they have
lost a out of the five games played
since their victory over Laurel,
Thursday of last week. Before we go
to press, the club will play Milford
(June 21), and from the game the To-
Gals are putting up, victory does not
seem very probable.
The Salamanders are in veritable
slump. They are badly in rut as to
hitting, and the pitching is weak-a
combination such as brings joy to
heart of the opponent. It can be said,
however, that up till Wednesday of
this week, the club has been making
enough runs to win game, had the
pitching been a little tighter. On
Wednesday, however. bad playing all
around is what they had nothing else
but-as wildcat" Of Saturday Even
ing Post fame, would say.
Well, the season is young yet; the
boys have demonstrated they can
play ball, and it remains for them
to spit in their hands and take fresh
hold
On Thursday the boys journeyed to
Milford, Del, and took sweet revenge
on that bunch for the defeat admins
tered on Tuesday.
Pasquella was once more back of
the bat, and the team seemed to
strike it's old stride. In the third in
ming they jumped on the opposing
pitcher and he was forced to retire.
It looked something like the first of
the season in the batting line, and it
is to be hoped the Salamanders have
found the bats some one apparently
had sneaked away. The score was 8
to 3.
Too late for us to write up the
game, Salisbury is on the caro- for
Friday. Let's hope for another
victory

CROPS IN MARYLAND
REPORTED NORMAL
Wheat Harvesting Begins In Talbot
County,-Crain Ripening
Elsewhere

Rains at the beginning of last week,
and warm, clear weather thereafter
were favorable to ripening crops, ac-
cording to the weekly report of Agri-
culture, in cooperation with the Mary
land State Weather Service.
Beginning of the wheat harvest is
reported in sections of Queen Anne's,
st. Mary's and Talbot counties, and
harvesting will become general in the
next few days in Southern Maryland.
Wheat is ripening. rapidly over the
northern tier of counties, except in
Garrett.
Rye is getting ready for cutting in
the southern counties and is ripening
in the northern. Oats have improved
and are heading generally, except in
Allegany and Garrett counties. Pas
turage has improved, although only
in fair condition generally.
There is a good stand Of corn, ac
tording to the report, and cultivation
continues. Pea harvesting is ended il
the southern counties, continues II
central, and has begun in northern
except the mountain sections, wher'
the crop is poddingi.
Early potatoes are blooming gener
ally, except in Western Maryland
where they are coming into bloom
The strawberry season practically i
over, except in Allegany and Garret
counties, where picking has begun.

EASTERN SHORE
LEAGUE PLAYERS
SALARY AN item
Clubs In Circuit Unsupported By
The Money Coming In
At The Gate
OUTSIDE CONTRIBUTIONS
NECESSARY FOR SUPPORT

The Eastern Shore League is put
ting up this season some very fast
base ball-such work calls for play
ers of acknowledged ability, who de-
mand salaries ranging from $1OO to
$3.50 per month.
These make up quite formidable
pay roll as the months go by, so large
that in no town of the Eastern Shore
League circuit do the gate receipts
meet all expenses. The deficit must
come from another sourc.
All the towns are maintaining ball
clubs, because Of the class of innocent
amusement they furnish, and because
the business men of the community
look upon them as media of adver-
tising.
Large sums of money have been
spent in equipping base fall grounds,
and hiring players, and the money
has come mostly from the commercial
population. Dover can be instanced
as marked example; between $1O,-
600 and $4,000 having been ex-
pended.
Pocomoke City seems to be an ex-
ception to the rule. Here what money
has been given, has come from the
pocket of the ardent fan, and the
business man has held aloof, and in
many instances decried .he sport. 1t
would seem that those merchants in
Pocomoke City, who have given the
town an enviable reputation as to
progressiveness, have failed to see a
benefit to be derived from a source
that all other towns have recognized
and backed with their cash.
In Crisfeld it looked for awhile as
il the town were about to lose it's
franchise; but wide-a-wake business
men took hold Of it and are financing
it, because of it's advertising value.
When it seemed as if the franchise
were to be sold several towns nearby
to Pocomoke were making efforts to
obtain it-not only the sport loving
part of their population, but also the
staid business men, who saw their
opportunity.
Pocomoke City, along with all the
other towns, must have help in the
way of contributions, in order to
maintain her ball club. If these con-
tributiOns are not forthcoming, the
franchise will have to be surrendered,
and it would not take five minutes to
have it gobbled up by two towns that
could be mentioned. What is POGO
moke's choice? Does it, or does it
not want the club.
1t is the purpose of the manage
ment to have the question answered
by canvass to be made very early
in the future. In the meantime they
ask all who are interested in the well
fare of the town to think well, and be
prepared to do their bit. Let every
one contribute something, and the
burden would not be heavy on any
one. A club is an asset, and evidence
of that fact can be obtained from ev-
cry town in the circuit.

M00NSHININC ACTIVE
IN WORCESTER COUNTY
DEPUTY Sheriff Parks And Revenue
Agents Make Arrests In The
Dryden Fanny

The moonshining industry in Wor-
cester county DOS not seem to be on
the decline. Stills are being unearth-
ed and arrests made.
On Friday of last week Deputy
Sheriff Lennie T. Parks held war
rents empowering him to arrest two
men-John and Charles Dryden; the
former for assaulting his wife and for
carrying concealed weapons ;the lat
ter for assaulting one, Henry Will
Jams by name, and also for carrying
concealed weapons.
About to serve these warrants, he
was joined by two revenue agents
Messrs. Ford and Barton, who were
on a scouting expedition,
Arriving at the home of Charles
Dryden, they saw him make hurried
exit and escape to safety. Entering
the house they found Robert anc
George Dryden; they also found
small still in operation on the kitcher
stove, barrel of mash, one-half gal
Ion Of distilled liquor, and keg ant
funnel to fill with the new made
product.
Robert and George Dryden wer'
placed under arrest, and enough O
the goods confscated to establish it
identity.
Warrents are also out for the arres
of John Dryden for manufacturing
the stuff, and developments are a
waited.

DRUGGISTS ASKED TO
BACK STATE UNIVERSITY
State Body Also Asked To Seek
Repeal Of Laws That "Work
Hardship"

The Maryland Pharmaceutical AS
sociation met at Buena Vista Springs,
Pa, this week. AS a part of their
proceedings, they pledged themselves
tc work for repeal of laws which, it
is claimed are handicap to druggists
and the public.
Declaring that the. retail pharma.
cists are afflicted with more laws than
any other industry or business, S. L.
Hilton, of Washington, a former
president of the American Pharma-
eeutical Association, suggested a
closer organization of the druggists
of the State to effect repeal of laws
which work hardship on both druggist
and consumer.
William H. Bradbury, Of Washing
ton, secretary of the Retail Druggists
Association of the District of Colum-
bia, denied the persistent rumor'
that drug stores under the present
prohibition laws were being turned
into "bar rooms" Drug stores in
Washington, he said, do not fill more
than one to three whiskey prescrip
tions a day.
The action on the part of the Asso
citation furnishes food for thought tt
those who may form the Legislative
body of Maryland in the session o1
1924.
Memories of the 1922 meeting arr
still fresh in the minds of many o
Worcester's voters, when the disabili
ties of the druggist were the subjec
of O law to have them removed. 1t i
safe to say another effort would b.
more successful.

Refigerating System

BY advertisement it may be seen
that our enterprising meat merchant,
w. S. Bowen, has installed most
complete and sanitary refrigerating
plant for the protection of his mer-
chandise, and consequently for the
protection Of his patrons.
His enterprise can be appreciated

bought unaffected by the up grade OF
the thermometer.

RETIRED EDITOR
OF METHODIST
PROTESTANT DEAD
DR.. F. 7. Tagg, Eminent Methodist
Protestant Divine, Died In
Baltimore Monday
WELL AND PROMINENTLY
KNOWN THROUGHOUT STATE

All Methodist Protestants know
that sturdy specimen of Christian
manhood, embodied in the late Rev.
F. IT. Tagg. "He has fought the
fight and finished the course" He
will long be remembered, and in not
ing his death, nothing better can be
said of him than what appeared in the
editorial columns Of the Baltimore
Sun, last Wednesday under the cap
ton, "Strong and Faithful"
"l:ev. DIR. Francis T. Tagg, of the
Methodist Protestant Church, was a
minister of his denomination for~5
years, and served it faithfully, not
merely in the pulpit, but in the high
est positions Of ecclesiastical respon-
sibility. Editor for nearly quarter
of century of the Methodist Prot
estant, the organ Of his church, for
eight years general secretary Of its
Board of Foreign Missions, and once
president of its General Conference,
he was recognized as one Of the lead
ers of his denomination in this coun-
try, and in every field he more than
measured up to the important tasks
committed to him.
"Dr. Tagg was not of the yellow
pulpit variety of preachers who find
it necessary to be sensational in or
der to keep their congregations inter-
ested. Neither was he Of the dull and
drowsy type who act as spiritual So
porifcs. The old message was good
enough for him, but it was not so old
as TO be dead or moribund. He was
strong but not silly, deep but not dry
He was a thinker who could think
straight, who filled "the belly of rea-
son" with vitamines, not with husks
nor merely with religious bon bons
that please the unhealthy religious
palate.
"Although he was the sort of man
to whom old-fashioned Christians
could "tie," whom they could follow
without fear Of finding themselves
eventually in a strange and far coun'
try. For So years he fought gooc
fight and kept faith with his church
and with his conscience, and he pas
ses to higher sphere with record
of which anyone, in or out of the
ministry, might be proud.
"Men like DR.. Tagg are the men or
whom the religious and the workaday
world must rely for moral health ant
strength to meet the strain and trials
of ordinary life, as well as the grea7
emergencies of abnormal times"
Funeral services were held at 1
o'clock last Wednesday at his home
42O6 Belview avenue. DR.. Tagg diet
at 6 P. M. Monday.
The Rev. DR.. William H. Litsinger
pastor of North Baltimore Methods
Protestant Church, conducted the ser
vices, assisted by the Rev. DR.. H. L
Elderdice, president Of Westminste
Theological Seminary; the Rev. Franl
T. Benson, editor of the Methods
Protestant, and the Rev. DR.. G. w
Haddaway, pastor Of Starr Methods
Protestant Church.
The body was taken Thursda,
morning to Centreville, where buria
services were held at noon. Friend
of DR.. Tagg at Centreville were tn
pallbearers.
