Asserts Opportunities Unexcelled
In 1000 Miles
One of the recent, weekend Wis
itors to the Eastern Shore PENN
sufa was ID. w. Hart, of the Double
day Page & Company, of New York.
Mr.. Harris connection is what
/" Country Life in America" one of
the leading and most artistic mag
azines published in America. While
on the Peninsula Mr.. Hart visited
Easton, Berlin, Salisbury, Princess
Anne, Milford and other points.
He was particularly interested in
the perfection OF strawberry culture
at the w. F. Allen Nursery at Salis-
bury, the evergreens at Harrisons
Nurseries at Berlin, and the small
farm possibilities of Sussex county.
Nowhere within thousand miles
are there such opportunities for
varied soil production and horticul-
tural and Horticultural achievements,
so far as have seen, as on THIS
Peninsula" said Mr.. Hart. Stand
ardization of your brands and their
advertisement is all that is necessary
to cause Del-Mar-Va products to be
demanded by the consumer as indeed
they are now in demand by dealers.
Mr.. Hart is particularly interested
in flowers, being a nationally known
authority on dahlias and gladiolii.
He made an interesting suggestion to
the effect that the Dutch specialists
on tulips-probably the. most hlgnly
developed line of Horticulture In
Europe-who are now being forced
to immigrate from Holland to save
their American markets, because OF
the embargo against the shipment OF
European bulbs into the United
States, could very well be persuaded
to inspect the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula
where soil and climatic conditions
are ideal for their purpose. This
is just one instance OF wide range
of possibilities in the fruit and
Horticultural field in Del-Mar-Va,"
remarked Mr.. Hart.
Another visitor over the weekend
at the Del-Mar-Va Association head
quarters was Miss Vera L. Connolly,
noted magazine writer, who visited
several points of interest gathering
material for descriptive articles.
In response to the generally
advertised contest for descriptive
photographs from all parts of the
Peninsula to be submitted for
Judging for use by the Del-Mar-Va
Association many splendid photo,
graphs are being submitted by mail.

TO SENTENCE

FLORENCE, Feb. 4.-Charles J..
Blackburn of Mesa, convicted slayer
of his business partner, Miguel Ber-
nal, is now behind the steel bars of
the state prison here for safe keep
ing. On February 20 he will be re-
turned to Stafford where the judge
of the Graham county superior court
will pronounce the formal sentence
of death which was fixed by jury
which found him guilty of murder
in the first degree last night after
a trial lasting ten days.
Graham county officers arrived here
at 4:3O o'clock with Blackburn. They
left Stafford this morning at 11:3O.
Blackburn completely collapsed fol-
lowing the verdict of the jury and
it was necessary to carry him to the
car this morning. His wife made a
rush at Ralph Bilby, special prose-
cutor this morning as if to attack
him, but she was restrained before
she reached him.

NEW YORK, Feb, 4.-From three
sources including an Episcopal or
ganization, national secretary of the
Church Temperance Society of the
Episcopal church, stating that pro-
hibition has failed and the society
will work for the return of light
wines and beer.
Speaking for the social service
commission of the Episcopal diocese
of New York, the Rev. Charles K.
Gilbert, secretary, said DR.. Empring-
ham did not speak for the Episcopal
church and that the Church Tenn
perance society has been practically
defunct sinceS 1918.
The other attacks came from the
World League Against Alcoholism
and the Anti-Salon League of Amer
lea, both of which took issue with
DR.. Empringham' contention that
prohibition is a failure. The latter
organization, through S. e. Nichol-
son, secretary, also denied state-
ments attributed to officials of the
society that the Anti-Saloon League
falsified the prohibition situation in
its propaganda.

CELLO ENSEMBLE.
PERFORMANCE Al.
8:15 TONIGHT

Word has been received from
Dorothy Kempe, manager of the
Cello Ensemble players. who will
appear at the Episcopal parish house
tonight, that they will be unable
to arrive ii Douglas until 7:45 D. m.
For this reason the entertainment
will begin at S:15 p. m. instead Of
s O'Clock as has been announced.
Wherever the Cello Ensemble com
pany has been appearing this year
they have met with decided success.
Their program is not only artistic,
but entertaining, and some of their
numbers in which four violin-celIos
are used, are seldom heard in this
country.
Franz Wagner, a cellist known to
musicians the country over through
his concert and orchestra appear
ances, is the organizer of tonights
company He not only selected the
artists who compose the company
but he chose the cello selections
which they render.
Although the program which will
be offere dis nearly entirely musi-
cal, a popular feature will be a few
selected readings by Miss Dolly
Stewart
The Cello Ensemble and Little
Symphony renders beautiful music
of the highest type and never fails
to score not only a distinctly artis-
tic, but at the same time decidedly
popular success.

FORT COLLINS, Colo Feb. A.
Harry L. Brown of Denver, Colorado
Agricultural colleges only male do
mestic science student, has disappear

as to whether or not his disappear
ance had anything to do with ru.
mored inheritance of $4,000, or
whether the thought of the 247 girl
classmates proved too much for the
youth. Belief inclines toward the
latter, although students are loath
to admit that one of their number
would deliberately disappear to avoid
the fair sex.
The bravery of Harry L. Brown
was campus talk when he appeared
at the opening of the second semes~
tier and registered in domestic sell
ence, the first man on record to take
such a course at the college.
Inquiry at the address in Denver
given by Brown as his home, brings
forth the information that he is

WEATHER TO Be
GENERALLY FAIR
FOR FEBRUARY

Weather throughout February in
this section of the southwest will be
pretty generally fair. according to
the predictions of ]. S. Ricard, sun
spot weather prophet at the Univer-
sity of Santa Clara in California
1t is cutie possible that this state
will enjoy some precipitation between
February 8 and II, the prophet be-
lieves, and perhaps again on the thir-
teenth of the month. The only other
period of the month when rain is
likely to fall in Arizona is on the
25th and 26th and the prospects at
that time are not exceptionally good
from Ricards viewpoint.
March bids to be considerably dis
turbed from the first until the sixth
in many sections of the west he
states, but he does not say with GER
tainty that Arizona will be visited
with bad weather at that time.
