{" The Hun,r,ing Bird
At The Century Theatre

Due to the fact that Gloria Swan
sons latest and greatest film produc-
ton, "The Humming Bird" was not
finished in time to show it at the
Century Theatre last week although
it had been understood that the pic
ture would be completed in time, the
showing of it at that playhouse has
been postponed until the week begin
ming, Monday, January 81. This pro-
duction was directed by Sidney Oh
colt, who also directed "The Green
Goddess" and little Old New York. +"
On the Century Roof, which is open
nightly from 7.30 o'clock to bedtime,
Ernie Young's latest musical revue
"Midwinter Maids" will be the at
traction with five well known headlin-
ers including those inimitable come
dams DeHaven and Nice, direct from
the Greenwich Village Follies. There
is also chorus of twelve beauties
who appear in the six big ensembles.
William Rankin directs the show
while music is furnished by Robbins
Century Roof Orchestra, for the show
and for dancing. Service a la carte
is given by the well known Baltimore
Caterer DeCrette.

were several players on the Laurel
team last year that were as good as
any in the league, namely, Early,
Lyston, Nye, Fitzberger, Quinn, and
Slaughter, and it's safe bet they
will all be better ballplayers next sea-
son,
Despite bad season last year,
Slaughter should make Salisbury an
ideal first baseman, if he rounds into
condition during this winter and
spring.
He has not enjoyed good health for
the last two seasons, due to stomach
trouble, but Notwithstanding this han
dicap, he led the league in fielding last
year.
If he is in shape the coming season
he should hit more than 800 and a
gain be among the topnotchers as a
fielding first baseman, and will fill
the gap at first base for Salisbury,
made vacant by the loss of Toulson,
who it is said, joins the Piedmont
League the coming season.
With the above tried men the Sal
isbury management will be spared the
expense of trying out new material,
which is invariable a costly PROPOSE
ton. From the players Salisbury has
left from last year and the acquisi-
tom of the Laurel players, the Wi
comico City will be able to put a
team on the diamond next season that
should make strong bid for the
Eastern Shore League pennant. 1t
is understood, also. that the Salisbury
club secures Poke Whalen, peppery
manager of the pennant-winning
Parksley, Va, team the previous sea-
son.
Whalen is recognized as one of the
smartest managers that ever invaded
the Eastern Shore League, and it is
said Salisbury had been angling after
his services for some time. He will
undoubtedly get satisfactory results
if he pilots the Salisbury club next
season.
By cleaning slate of all outstanding
debts Laurel will enter the league
race next season with renewed vigor
and hope. This, together with their
new manager and players, and their
past experience will go long way to-
ward success for the Sussex team.
With Laurel back in the league there
should be no trouble in inducing the
sixth club to join the organization.
With the right spirit behind the
management and players, either
Crisfeld, Easton or Milford should be
able to support an Eastern Shore
League club, and if things turn out as
they should, there will be six-club
loop the coming season.

A PARABLE.

Once there was man who bought
block in city and paid for it $780,
600. AS it increased in value he adj
vanced his rents. At last he was get
ting returns from the property based
on valuation of 100000 and his
neighbors called him good citizen
and nobody proposed to take from him
either his property or his returns
from the same, neither did any man
say that a law should be passed to
give the control Of his block to a
group of politicians. He stood high
in the esteem of his community. His
fellow men paid him homage.
Now, it so happened that the same
man built a railroad that ran from his
home town to another city in an adj
joining state. The property cost him
million dollars and yielded no re-
turn in net earnings for period Of
years, although it greatly helped both
cities and all their inhabitants.
At last it began to pay modestly.
At once the inhabitants Of the cities
connected by the railroad petitioned
the Government to pass law giving
the politicians the right to arbitrarily
control the management Of the rail-
road. At the same time they began
to berate the owner and called him
an enemy of society.
The result was that the Govern
ment did take over the mans railroad
and did manage the property after a
manner to make it more expensive to
those who used it and of less value
to the communities it served than it
had been when it was controlled abso-
lutely by it's owner. AS conse-
quence of this both the owner Of the
road and the communities served by
it suffered.
Finally it came about that queer
and eccentric man who lived in one of
the cities asked if anybody could ex-
plain to him why the owner Of the
railroad was berated for building,
owning and operating that piece of
property and praised for getting rich
from the business block that cost him
but $4,000.
And after he had asked the question
no man answered, but publicly he was
branded as a fool and one without
sense. Furthermore, it was pointed
out that when in his presence some
body had been heard to refer to the
intelligent pubic" the man had
laughed derisively and after the man.

say something that was excruciating-

SPORTS

"Old Timer" of Seaford, Dela..
writes as follows concerning the flu
ture of the Eastern Shore League
Things don't look so prosperous for
the League and it's dollars to dough-
nuts that it will not stand the season:
Notwithstanding only four teams
of the Eastern Shore League, Dover,
Salisbury, Cambridge and Parksley
Va, came forward with the necessary
deposit of $500 at the annual meeting
Of the league, held at Salisbury, con-
ditions in the "baby" organizations
are not as bad as they appear on the
surface, according to The dope reach
ing Old Timers ears.
THE dope as set forth by some OF
the supporters of the league is that
Laurel will again be member OF the
organization with an entirely new out
fit, as far as manager and players are
concerned, and that some of the fans
loyal to the Laurel club are laughing
up their sleeves at the Laurel man.
agement putting one over on the Sal
isbury officials by selling the person
mel of theiE> last years team, whereby
Laurel will be able to wipe out de-
felt of $2,40O hanging over the Off
Gals of the Sussex Count Athletic AS
ISOLATION.
If the sale of the Laurel players to
the Salisbury moguls is bona fide
transaction and goes through as first
planned, the view point of Old Timer
is that both clubs are greatly benefit
ed. It was no secret that the best OF
feeling did not prevail among the
Laurel players last year, especially
toward the fag end Of the season.
BY disposing of the whole outfit and
replacing them with new men, Laurel
will be benefited, both from a player
and financial standpoint. AS a rule
the baseball fans like new faces, and
this will be proven at the gate when
the season opens.
In buying the Laurel players, the
Salisbury management did not go
wrong a single particle, according to
Old Timers way of thinking. There

A good mash for breeding and lay
ins. hens of general-purpose breeds
C ntaining only II per cent of meat
scrap has been developed by the U.
S. Department of Agriculture. The
remainder of the protein in the mash
is contained in vegetable form and
the SO per cent of ground oats and
bran gives the rations the desired
bulk. The mash seems to be particu-
larry good in raising the hatchability
and fertility of eggs. The more
stimulating rations seem to cause an
overfat condition in general-purpose
birds, especially during the second
year Of production. Special attention
IS now being given to the vtanin
content of eggs and their fertility and
hatchability as affected by rations.

AGRICULTURE

In response to inquiries as to
whether it is lawful for hotels or res
taurants to serve wild ducks and
geese, >the United States Department
of Agriculture states that the pro-
visions of the migratory-bird treaty
act and regulations make it unlawful
to buy or sell wild ducks or other mi
gratory birds or parts thereof, except
under proper permits for scientific
purposes.
Migratory waterfowl raised jim cap
tivity under proper Federal and State
permits may be bought or sold and
served in hotels or restaurants, but
this does not apply to any wild birds,
including those that have been captur-
ed under permit for propagation pur-
poses Jas birds thus captured can not
be killed or sold for food purposes at
any time.
The serving of the flesh of wild
birds with meals in hotels, restau-
rants, or other places is unlawful if a
price is charged for the meal, and the
statute can not be avoided under
pretense that no charge is being made
for the flesh of wild birds.
A "Better Homes" exhibit was
planned and carried out in Patterson
N. j., this summer by the women of
the home bureau, assisted by the
home demonstration agent. The aim
throughout the exhibit was to empha-
size the factors that contribute to
home making and to illustrate those
phases of home-demonstration work.
as carried on comparatively by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture and the New Jersey State
College of Agriculture, which best
develop well-rounded family life. A
model home was set up in a new dwell
ling house in the residential district
of Patterson. It contained the type
IT furniture and equipment that could
be afforded by families situated in
moderate circumstances, with draper
les and other decoration in keeping
with the teachings Of the extension
service.
Programs were especially planned
to supplement the lessons in better
household furnishings with other as
poets Of the home economics instruc-
ton given to farm women. Domestic
science pupils from the public schools
prepared and served supper several
times. Fundamental principles of
meal planning were observed in these
meals and discussed with those who
came to them. Modern kitchen equip
ment and utensils with their uses
were demonstrated. Food stories were
told to interest undernourished chill
dren and instruct their parents.
A Fashion show" was included to
indicate what the women had learned
about making their own and their
children's clothes in the home demon
stration groups. Hats made under
extension direction were exhibited. In
ali features Of the exhibit the assist
ance in home making, rendered by
home-demonstration work, was illus
trated.

agricultural extension agent, accord
ing to reports to the United States
Department Of Agriculture. The sue
cess of this boy and other club MEM
bers, it is felt, has contributed much
toward inducing farmers in Niobrara
county to undertake the growing of
certified seed potatoes, now profit
able phase Of farming in this dry-land
county. A county certified potato
growers association has been organ
lied to aid in handling the product.
About 100000 bushels of improved po-
tatoes were produced in the country in
1922, some 10000 bushels of which
were certified for seed.

Cows kept in box stalls produce
more milk and slightly more butter
fat than those kept in stanchions, &C
cording to the U. S. Department of
Agriculture, but the slight increase in
product does not balance the added
expense for space, bedding, and labor.
Box stalls are to be recommended only
when maximum production is desired
regardless of expense, as in testing
cows for records.
In recent years the United States
Department Of Agriculture has been
giving considerable attention to the
problem of an adequate supply of
binder-twine fiber for the future, par
ticular attention being given to the
study of plants which can be grown
in the insular possessions of the
United States. The Philippines are
looked upon as the principal source
of binder-twine fiber in our insular
possessions, although some henequen
and sisal may be produced in Porto
Rico and the Virgin Islands. The de-
partment has been doing cooperative
work with the Philippine bureau of
agriculture on sisal and maguey and
abaca hemp. According to the de-
partment, it is entirely possible that
the ultimate solution Of our binder
Irvine fiber problem will be an in
creasing substitution of abaca for
henequen in the manufacture Of bin
der Irvine. During the last year
large quantities Of this fiber have
been used for the purpose. But if this
fiber is to be produced as cheaply in
the Philippines as henequen is pro-
duced in Yucatan improvements must
be made in the abaca industry.

Demurrer Granted
By Judge Cole In
School Test Case

Unless the petitions for alterna-
tive writs of mandate, filed by six
Ell Centrans last week to force prin-
cipals and trustees of elementary
schools here to permit the return
to school of minor children now
said to be excluded because of or
ders of health officials, are amend
ed, the court will not proceed with
the cases according to the decision
of Judge Cole of department one Of
the Superior court this morning.
In granting the demurrer ON the
eases, Judge Cole held that the writs
as presented are not definite
enough in specifying names of trus-
tees, He said that a writ of man
date must refer to particular Off
cials who are accused of failure to
discharge the duties of their parti-
cular offices. The six writs were
issued in complaint of action of the
board of trustees of Ell Centre ele-
mentary schools, A. P. Shibley, sup
ervising principal of the Ell Cen
tro elementary schools and the prin-
cipals of the Wilson and Lincoln
schools, Margaret Hedrick and Har-
va Pitts.
The plaintiffs were told that they
might bring their case before the
court at three o clock this after
noon, for further consideration, in
the event they wished to amend the
Mrits and proceed with the case.
The writs OF mandate were filed
by j. f. Nichols, guardian of John
Nichols; Don w. Wells, guardian of
Anna Wells; F. W. Waite, for
William Waite; j. w. Cass, for
Lorena, Halbeft James and Mar
.jorie Cass; J. 3. Hockett, for Mary
Louise and Delno Hockett; and f.
II. Morton, for Lucille Morton.
The writs assert: "With no le-
gal reason being assigned, there
for. F. A. Burger, the duly ap--
pointed and acting health officer
of the city of Ell Centre, excluded
the plaintiff and many other child
rem from attendance in any school
in Ell Centre elementary school dis
trict until such time as they have
been examined by the city health
officer.'
The court room was crowded this
with parents of children
who have been excluded from at
tendance at school. The six writs,
which have been filed and which
are being considered by the court,
will in all likelihood be followed by
Il large number of others, i'll the
event they are sanctioned.
