The catch of shad thus far this sea-
son has been very light, says the Prin-
cess Anne Marylander and Herald,
probably due to the lateness of spring.
Hardheads have been quite plentiful
up to Saturday, but ice formed during
the recent cold spell seems to have
scattered them seaward.

Add to joys of spring the following
roundelay from the Westminster
Times: "The time for spring house
cleaning is at hand and soon the
busy housewife with broom and
scrubbing brush will make things
lively around the home" That fellow
must be a glutton for punishment if
he can eXult over it.
Add to the joys and sorrows of
being a newspaper man the following
plaintive complaint from the Center
vile Record: Did you ever notice
that when bill collector comes, if
you are entertaining friends, he will
always talk loud enough for the
guests to hear. Otherwise, it would
not matter so much"
The Chesapeake and Ohio canal
will resume operation May 1. Boat
men have been notified to put their
boats in repair. Time was not so long
ago when this canal was one of the
important transportation arteries of
the country, and the "conch-shell"
horn was heard blowing its raucous
warning to the lockkeeper.
The postofice department at Wash

sheriff one term. He has many friends
in every district of the county and is
perhaps as well known as any man in
the county. He seeks the nomination
solely upon his own merits and re-
quests the support of all the voters.
We remember reading not so long
ago an account from one of the small
Maryland towns wherein the brave
fire laddies were unable to attend
fire, due to the fact that some citizen
had borrowed the hose. Today we
notice an article in the Caroline Sun
which causes us to think the same
condition exists in Caroline. Says the
item: "Wonder where all the fire
equipment is located? Too late to
locate when the town is in danger.
Fire chief, get busy, get the hose,
ladders and other material together
and keep them where they belong"
