Peculiar Situation
Confronts Republicans
OF Somerset County
R. Mark White, Recently Appointed
Postmaster, Refuses To Resign
County Treasurership
PHOEBUS FORCES WANT TO
NAME HIS SUCCESSOR

Republican politicians of Somerset
county are faced with situation
somewhat different from anything
they have ever experienced, through
the failure Of R. Mark White, County
Treasurer, to resign from the Treas
urship, although he has been appoint
ed Postmaster of Princess Anne. Mr..
White assumed his postoffice duties
on April 1st, but continued to hold on
to his old job, and at present is filling
both positions. His friends declare
that he is thoroughly within his right
ir holding both positions-one an ap-
pointive position under the Federal
Government, and the other an elective
office, under the County government.
The opposing Republican faction de-
clares that he is violating both the
letter and the spirit of the law in at
tempting to fill the two positions at
one time, and are said to have start
ed atcion looking to his removal from
one of the two offices he now fills.
And so the fight in the COP. ranks
goes on merrily.
Mr.. White, it is understood, has
announced that he was ready to re-
sign whenever Harry T. Phoebus and
Robert H. Maddox, the two Republi-
can members of the Board of County
Commissioners, could agree on his
successor. He contends, it is under
stood, that he was elected by the vot-
ers of Somerset county to the treas
urership, and that therefore the po-
litical forces with which he is allied
should be permitted to name his sue
cessor.
The fly in the ointment, however,
seems to be that Maddox and Phoebus
dc not seem to be able to agree on a
successor, Mr.. Maddox favoring Dep
uty treasurer Harry E. Muir, while
Mr.. Phoebus first favored Edward R..
Coulbourn and has since been said to
favor most anyone else but Mr.. Muir.
This has not created deadlock in the
Board of Commissioners, however, as
Commissioner Maddox and Commits
sioner Cyrus L. West, the latter the
Democratic member of the Board,
have announced that they were ready
to appoint successor to Mr.. White
as County Treasurer, as soon as Mr..
White resigns. But meanwhile Mr..
White has not resigned and indicates
that he does not intend to resign, un-
til Commissioner Maddox agrees with
| Commissioner Phoebus on the selec-
tion of his successor.

FORD co. ADOPTS
USED CAR PLAN
Authorized Dealers Everywhere To
Guarantee All Used Cars
Sold By Them

Much interest has centered during
the last week in the announcement of
the Ford used car plan. This interest
has been evidenced by both the public
and the automotive industry general
ly, for it is the first move made by
any large automobile concern toward
solution of the so-called used car prob
lem.
Under the plan, which is supervised
by the company, all authorized Ford
dealers place a guarantee upon used
Ford cars sold by them, thus insuring
to the purchaser satisfactory mechani-
cal operation of the cars under ordi-
nary driving conditions. >
Reports received during the week
from branches throughout the coun-
try, it was said at the offices of the
Ford Motor Company in Detroit, indi-
cate two things-greater buyer condi-
fidence on tn part of the public and a
genera feeling among Ford dealers
that the plan is certain to promote
customer satisfaction.
These reports, it was said are not
based upon expressions from Ford

Cape Charles Rotarians
Attend Annual Convention

Sixteen members of Cape Charles
Rotary Club attended the annual con-
ference of the 37th district, compris-
ing Virginia and eastern North Caro-
lima, held in Richmond. The majority
were accompanied by their ladies.
The Rotarians report a delightful
trip with entertainment features ga
lore, and the business sessions and
addresses of a particularly helpful
nature. The business sessions were
brought to an end Friday afternoon
and many members Of Cape Charles
Club returned that evening, several,
however, remained over until the fol-
lowing day enjoying entertainment
features Friday evening.
Those attending were: Mr.. and Mrs.
T. E. New, Mr.. and Mrs. J. Warren

dealers alone. They also include pub
lice reaction toward the plan as re-
flected through the vast dealer organi-
cation which, because of it's extensive
ness, is an excellent barometer of au-
tomobile marketing conditions.
Another feature of the reports is
the ready acceptance of the plan by
the dealers themselves and their en-
thusiasm over it. They feel that the
new arrangement, together with their
own fitness of Judging car values and
facilities for reconditioning cars when
that is necessary, places them in po-
sition to afford much better service
to people in the market for used Ford
cars.
On the basis of the reports so far
received the plan promises an effect
i've solution for used car handling by
Ford dealers and one in which the
public will benefit.

DANGER AGE FOR
CHILDREN OF STATE
UNDER TEN YEARS
Authorities Urge Protection From
Communicable Diseases, Such
As Mumps, Measles, Etc.
GUARD DIET AND HEALTH
DOCTORS URGE PARENTS

The old idea that we'll children
should mingle freely with those who
are i'll with measles or mumps or the
Other communicable diseases, in or
der that they may have the disease
and "have it over" has given place,
according to DR.. R. H. Riley, Chief of
the Bureau of Communicable Diseases
State Department of Health, to the
strong conviction that children should
be protected in every way possible
from contact with others who are ill.
One half of the sickness that occurs
in the counties of Maryland from
scarlet fever, measles, diphtheria,
and whooping cough is to be found a
mong children under ten years old, ac-
cording to studies made by DR.. Riley.
The records in other states show that
this condition is general.
The Maryland figures were based
on the total number of cases reported
during a series of years. Out of a
total Of 7,O85 cases Of whooping cough
at all ages, 6,076, or over four-ffths
were among children under ten. A
similar showing was made by meas
les. Out of a total of 30,281 cases,
1908 or nearly two-thirds occurred
among children under ten.
When it comes to diphtheria, half
of the cases, or 2,413 out of the total
of Att occurred among children un-
der ten. The records Of scarlet fever
showed that out of total of 5,783
cases, 3,OS6 or over half occurred in
the children under ten.
"Studies of this Sort" said DR.. Ril-
ey in commenting on the figures,
show where we must concentrate our
efforts for the control of these dis
eases. The figures indicate that there
are two groups that need especial
protection, first, the group of what
we call the preschool children, that is
the children who are under school
age, and second, the children in the
lower grades of school.
eve have a very definite weapon
against diphtheria-we can protect
the children by vaccination against
that disease, and it is being done in
several counties, but when it comes
to the other diseases, the most effect
i've safeguard that we have at pres
ent is to keep those who are well, a.
way from those who are sick. The
idea that we'll children should mingle
with those who are i'll from COM
municable disease, on the ground that
they might as we'll have it and have
it over was exploded long ago. We
know now that every infectious dis
ease is likely to leave disabling af
ter effect-on the eyes, ears, heart,
lungs, kidneys, or to register itself in
some other way in the system.
Accordingly and here is where
mothers can help-if you want to pro-
tect your children from communicable
diseases, keep them in as good condi
ton as possible, by attending to their
diet, and to their general health, but
by all means, keep them away from
children and from grown-ups also,
who are i'll from some communicable
disease"

ASPARAGUS

The preparation of the bed should be made
in most thorough manner as it is to last for a
number of years. deep, sandy loam with
abundance of decayed organic matter is the best
soil.
Planting is best done in the spring as early
as the soil can be worked in good condition. Run
burrows with plow and clean out with shovel to a
depth of 1 foot Place wel-rotted stable manure
thckly in the trench, then just slight covering
with the soil, on top of which place the crowns
about feet apart; spread out the roots and cover
them very shallow. After the plants start to
grow work the soil to them gradually until it be-
comes level The plants should be frequently
cultivated and kept clean.
The dead tops should be mown off in the fall
and burrows should be thrown on the rows from
each side, and the middles cleaned out. This will
cause the bed to warm up early in the spring.
If the big shoots are wanted you must
and fertilize heavily, for on the fertility of
the soil depends the profits of the CROP Five hum
