OFFERS PRIZE FOR SLOGAN

The Del-Mar-va Eastern Shore
Association announces a, contest
which is of interest to all the four
teen counties on the Peninsula.
The Association is looking for a
slogan-a phrase which will aptly,
concisely and briefly state its aims
and purposes. The phrase selected
will be made part of the insignia
or trade mark which will be borne
by all of the Associations Official
literature.
Since the phrase selected is to be
part OF its trade mark, the Asso-
citation reserves the sole right to
make the selection. A $50 prize
will be awarded to whoever sug-
gests the phrase adopted. II no
phrase submitted is adjudged worthy
to be made part of the Associa-
tion's trade mark, no award will be
made.
The Association has issued a
Prospectus which sets forth its pro-
gram in considerable detail. Any
one desiring this Prospectus will
receive copy if they send in re-
quest by postal card or letter to
Salisbury, Md.
There is no limit, the Association
says, to the number of slogans or
phrases which can be submitted by
any one person. The object of the
contest is to secure the best possible
phrase.
The Association cautions those
sending in slogans or phrases to
write on one side of the paper only,
seeing to it that names or addresses
are written plainly. Communica-
tions should be addresses, the Asso-
citation says, to the Publicity Direc-
tor, Del-Mar-Va Shore Association,
Salisbury. No communications re-
ceived in connection with the slogan
contest will be returned.
The slogan contest, 1t is an
nounced, will close on May I, 1925.
In order to illustrate the sort Of
thing desired, the Association gives
number of phrases already SUBJ
mitted but which lack the necessary
punch. They are:
Del-Mar-Va The Golden Garden of
the Nation; Del-Mar-Va The Tour
lists Paradise: Del-Mar-Va The Land
Where the Seasons Meet and Com
promise; Del-Mar-Va The Land of
the Shining Shore; Del-Mar-Va The
Cradle of Progress.
These phrases, the Association
says, are given not because OF their
worth but simply for the purposes
of Illustration.

Commission to alter and widen the
toll bridge across the Susquehanna
river between Perryville and Havre
de Grace, is asked of Congress in a
bill introduced last week by Repre-
sentative Millard e. Tydings.
The Roads Commission has decid-
ed to widen the bridge at least six
feet, to accommodate two streams of
traffic, at cost of approximately
100000. The cost will be defray-
ed by continuing the toll charges
until the end of 1928. 1t has been
planned by. the State to make the
bridge tool-free at the end of 1927.
According to John N. Mackall,
chairman of the Roads Commission,
authority from Congress must be
obtained from the War Department
to bridge or alter bridges over
navigable streams. When Congress
has acted, Mr.. Mackall said, per-
NIT would be asked from the War
Department.

WEST NOTTINGHAM LITERARY
CLUB

The West Nottingham Literary
Club held most enjoyable and in
structive meeting at the home sof
Mr.. and Mrs. R. M. Balderston,
Rising Sun, where they were enter
tanned by Mrs. Balderston's parents,
Rev. and Mrs. T. P. Mckee. AL
though the roads were filled with
snow, the members made up sled
loads and braved the wintry wealth
er, with the result that almost
full attendance was present.
President Slaybaugh was in the
chair; minutes of former meeting
were read and approved. The
committee on suitable name for the
Club was held over, as owing to
weather conditions they had not had
chance to have meeting. Several
appropriate names in some way
connected with Edgar Allen Poe,
Maryland's greatest writer, were
mentioned as suitable.
1t was planned to have Swepson
Earle, of Baltimore, give his lecture,
w
peake Bay Country at the next
regular meeting, second Friday
night in April, at which time the
members were given the privilege
of inviting others to enjoy this
lecture. This meeting will be held
in the Chapel at West Nottingham.
President Slaybaugh then an
nounced that Rev. Mr.. Mckee would
read a paper on DR.. Samuel Finley,
founder of West Nottingham Acad-
emy, and pastor of West Noting
ham Church at the time the
Academy was founded. DR.. Finley
later was president of Princeton.
This was thoroughly enjoyed by all
and showed the wonderful influence
of this great man as an educator
and minister, whose influence has
been woven into the warp and
woof of our Nation, as he had under
him while at West Nottingham
Academy many prominent men con-
nected with the formative period OF
our country, notably two signers of
the Declaration of Indepdence,
DR.. Benjamin Rush and Richard
Stockton.
Two new applicants were elected
to membership in the Club. A de-
lightful social hour was held and
all enjoyed the delicious refresh
ments served.
Mr.. Walton B. Peters, one OF the
instructors at the Academy, favored
the Club with solo 20, Love That
Will Not Let Me Co." beautifully
rendered.

RUSH ORDERS FOR MINE

With the coal strike practically
settled and preparations being made
by the mine operators to get things
in readiness for the resumption OF
work, large orders already have been
placed for mine props with timber
dealers In lower Delaware and other
sections of the Delmarvia Peninsula.
Timber dealers have been riding
through the rural sections contract
ing with owners of woodland for
large supplies to be delivered within
the next few weeks, 1t is said the
prices are somewhat higher than
they were when the strike became
effective last September.
AT this time there is a demand for
exceedingly large props. This is
necessary. it is said, because some of
the mines are in bad condition and
will necessitate much larger props
than they ordinarily would. The
first shipment over the Delaware,
Maryland and Virginia Railroad
lines for many weeks was made on
Tuesday afternoon OF last week,
when eighteen cars were shipped.
Before the end of the week more
than a hundred carloads of props
were shipped from Sussex County, in
Delaware, and Wooster county, in
Maryland.

BEET INDUSTRY FUR
 THIS DISTRICT |S
 ONCE MORE REVIVED
SUGAR BEET SEED RECEIVED AND IS BEING DISTRIBUTED FOR
 EXPERIMENT PURPOSES
SOIL SUPERIOR TO CALIFORNIA
kenai Peninsula Country Particularly
 Adaptable for this Industry.

The Tuesday meeting of the local chamber of commerce was extra in- teresting due to the fact the announce ment was made large sack of sugar beet seed had been received from the Agricultural department. The seed is being distributed to those interested in carrying on an experiment, most of it, however, will be sent over to the lower Kenai peninsula district, Seldo- via and other westward points, where it has been stated the climate and soil are more adaptable than else where in the Territory It was point ed out at the chamber meeting that one of the high officials of the agri- cultural department who visited this district last summer took back to Washington with him several samples of soil and in the analysis it develop ed the soil from Kenai peninsula ranked higher than that of California. It is all a matter of sunshine in the successful growing of sugar beets. Provided the coming experiments prove satisfactory there is excellent reason to believe it may develop into a large industry in this particular sec tion of Alaska.
 It should not be difficult for anyone to visualize what the development of such an industry would mean. In many localities Outside, such as are found in Alaska, the beet industry en- gages hundreds of people in the fields and, later, when the crop is harvest ed, in the mill The growing of sugar beets requires extensive seasonal la Dor and special attention given to the growing crop. The seed should be planted, for experimental purposes, in rows of not less than three feet apart and the plants about eight inches | apart in rows In general practice the seed is sowed rather thick then thin ned down leaving the best plants.
 There is a general widespread of interest along the entire railroad belt for from the headquarters of the Al aska Railroad comes the report the officials are planning, providing en- ough tonnage can be obtained to ship large quantity of the roots to the
 States for test mill ru.
 MT. and Mrs. John Hirshey, who left for Hope few days ago, were given
 some seed which they will distribute
 among the farmers in that region. The
 Hope district is one that should be
 further investigated as to the area
 suitable for farming. Creditable show ing was made by the vegetables, Der ries and apples grown there the past season, as we'll as the forage crops and potatoes. The completion of the roads will connect the Kenai region up with the railroad, and open large area of farming land known to be along the Kenai river and on the west slope ] of the Kenai mountain range. ! The outcome of the coming summers experiments will be watched closely reports compiled and sent to heads oi the industry in various sections in tht States.
