J. Carl Ross LnstalLs
Up To-Date Cigar Case

J. Carl Ross has recently installed
in his popular cigar stand, an up-to-
date case for displaying his smoke
goods.
This cigar case is about the height
Of the usual silent salesman counter,
and is built in sections, each about
the width of cigar box less than the
one beneath. It is step-like in form,
and when a customer is served the
riser drops and opens up the box of
his choice. This obviates the neces-
sity of removal of goods from the
case also Of handling of cigars by
dealer, and gives the customer a
chance to select what pleases him.
1t is very complete and handsome
store fixture and doubtless consti-
tutes a profitable investment.

Strawberry Crop viii
Be Late This Season

An item in the Baltimore News
relative to the strawberry crop in
Somerset county, reveals situa-
ton which corresponds to conditions
very accurately in Worcester.
The weather has retarded the crop
and the season will be much later
than usual-later than for many
years, and shipments will not take
place until well into May. This will
make only an average crop over a
larger acreage than ever.
Indications point to simultaneous
ripening in many parts of Virginia
and Maryland, which will affect the
prices in deprecatory way. Recent
legislation governing employment of
labor will influence the harvesting of
the crop, and perhaps cause a loss.
There will probably be better
transportation facilities, through
trains having been added, and the
purchase by the block system will
bring the money to the farmer
weekly.
This crop brings in valuable ad-
d:tion to the farmers income and it
is to be hoped the season will remain
favorable.

RITCHlE APPOINTS BOND
TO APPELLATE COURT
Appointee Related By Marriage To
Pocomoke People, other Mar
ried Miss Covington.

Judge Carroll T. Bond, recently ap-
pointed by Governor Richie to the
Baltimore Appeals Court, is a broth
er-in-law to Mrs. J. Stuart Bond,
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Jacob
Covington, who live near Pocomoke
City.
The Baltimore Sun, speaking. edi-
tor;ally of Judge Bond, has the fol-
lowing to say:
Governor Ritchie in naming Judge
Carroll T. Bond to the Court of Ap-
peals in the place of the late Judge
Henry Stockbridge brought the man
and the place together perfectly. 1t
may be assumed safely that if all of
those specially qualified to determine
the Baltimore lawyer best fitted by
experience, learning and tempera-
ment for a place on the Appellate
court had been consulted by the
Governor they would have decided
almost unanimously in favor of Judge
Bond.
His work at the bar prior to his
appointment to the Supreme Bench
of Baltimore by the late Governor
Crothers had been such that Governor
Crothers' action was hailed at the
time as ideal. In the decade and
more that Judge Bond has served in
the Baltimore courts he has abund-
antly justified the judgment of his
qualifications. Going now to the
Court of Appeals in the very prime
Of his intellectual powers, ripened in
to profound knowledge of the law and
equally profound devotion to it, Judge
Bond may be confidently expected to
take rank among the ablest of the
jur:sts who have graced the bench. "

RECTOR OF ST. MARY'S
ATTENDS CONVENTION
First Assemblage OF Its Kind In
The History OF The Church
In This Country.

Rev. G. V. Bell, rector of st. Mary's
Episcopal Church, this city, has been
in attendance this week upon a
Priests Convention, this being the
first asemblage of it's kind in the his
tory of the Church in this country.
Nearly seven-hundred priests and
bishops in the Eastern States met for
two days congress to- emulate the
Anglo Catholic movement hitherto
held only in England.
The main discussion centered "a
round the modernistic movements.
The church was counseled to stand
firm jim the Faith. Rev. w. P. McCune
rector of st. Ignatus' Church, N. Y,
expressed firm belief in the Virgin
Birth. He said that, "The animus on
the part of some is not against any
one doctrine but against all that is
divine and miraculous in the gospel,
and, intimately in the person of our
Lord"
Speaking of miracles, Rev. DR..
Frederick G. Grant, of Trinity
Church, chicago, said, "The common
objection to the resurrection on the
grounds of it's. being a miracle is con-
elusive only to those who hold pure
ly naturalistic view of the universe. /"
The tremendous strides that have
been made by the Catholic movement
within recent years were referred to
by Bishop Webb, of Milwaukee, in a
sermon of the mass at st. Marks.
There papers were read berating the
modernists and again emphasizing
the unity of the Catholic faith in a
belief in the deity of Jesus Christ;
His miraculous birth and resurrec-
ton; and His miracles.
There was a warning that the
church was not yet done with the
modernists, whose arguments per-
suade only those affected with their
confused standpoint.

BUILDING OPERATIONS
SOON IN FULL. SWING
Market Street Lighting Plans To Be Push
ed To Completion. Clarke Ave. Extend
ed Assuming Residential Appearance

Building operations are active just
at present, and much improvement to
the town is. effected thereby. The
scene of the greatest activity is prob
ably on Clarke avenue between Mar
ket street ard Linden avenue.
The town has completed the extern
sion of gutter and curbing, and has
done what street grading is possible
with the amount of earth available
on the spot.
Work is now being done on water
mains. Beginning with an attach
ment at Market street pipes will be
laid as far, at least as the point where
Ounce Ashbnrn has begun the
structure of his new houses.
There are now in course Of erection
n the block between Vine street and
Linden avenue, six houses to be used
as residences. When these are COM
pleted, the old sheds torn away, the
sidewalks graded and ,pavements
laid, this section will show up with
the best as place fit to live in.
w. H. Clarke & Co., have begun
their new building on Market street
next to the Woolworth building. This
will be a three-story brick structure
and will add much to the appearance
of the shopping district.
Matthews & Lankfgd it is under
stood, will soon begin work on what
will practically be new store. Their
building will be enlarged by throwing
the adjoining store, recently acquired
by them, into their present quarters.
Az entirely new front will be INSTALL
ed and the improvement bids fair to
