National Association Of
ficerS Leave City.

Deserted by their international
union, leaders of striking Indian
apolis Street Railway employees laid
secret plans today for a conference
at p. M, at which methods of Sc
curing their unemployment will be
considered, it was reported at a
meeting of about $50 strikers this
morning in Plumbers Hall.
The men want their jobs back
with their old senioIs.y. The com
pany has offered employment as
new men. This lone difference Of
position was believed to be the only
barrier to a definite conclusion OF
the strike.
TO Seek Aid
Strike leaders expect to enlist the
services of Harry B. Dynes. United
States Department of Labor con-
ciliator, and public officials, in their
efforts to conclude the strike.
The seniority question determines
the wages of the men. Conductors
and motormen receive 81 cents an
hour. with yearly increases until a
maximum AZ cents an hour scale
has been reached.
John NJ. Parker and Robert b
Armstrong, organizers of the strik-
ers, left the city at noon for their
homes in Niagara Falls, Ontario. and
st. Louis.
Officials Leave
Conceding victory in the strike to
the street railway, two other Off
cials of the Amalgamated Associ-
alton of Street and Electric Railway
Employees, of which the local men S
organization is a branch, were to
leave this afternoon.
r. ID. Bland, association national
treaurer. and p. j. Shea, association
director, were going to Detroit.
Bland and Shea came 10 assist the
strikers ter conviction Of
Parker and Armstrong, but after a
survey of the situation withdrew the
associations support.
Frank p. Baker and John G. Bach
elder, association attorneys, secured
release of Parker and Armstrong
late Thursday on 500 bonds. Fed
eral Judge Robert c. Baltzell gave
them ninety days to perfect an ap-
peal in the United States District
Court of Appeals at Chicago from
his finding of guilt for alleged vio-
lation of an injunction prohibiting
them being involved in moves to in
terefere with street car operation.
Bland said, there's not a chance"
OF their return to prosecute the
strike. This strike is lost" he de-
clared.

At the meeting of the board of SUI
pervisors the report Of Accomack
county Agent w. o. Strong brought
unanimous attention in aiding the
farmers in checking sweet potato dis
eases, in fighting the tuber-moth, in
organizing All Clubs among the high
school students a campaign for better
poultry and more of it, and in general
has been a most valuable asset to the
agricultural and community life of
Accomack and Northampton He has
travelled 10000 miles the last year in
performing his duties. The board
unanimously voted to continue his en-
ployment. A
Considerable discussion resulted by
the reports of the road supervisors
upon the damage being sustained by
the county roads through the use of
increasingly heavy motor trucks.

Economic necessity and a waning
interest in school work are the chief
reasons why the great majority of
boys and girls leave school at an age
when it would be better for them to
continue their education, according to
report on "The Employment Of
Young Persons in the United States
published by the National Industrial
Conference Board.
The whole problem of child labor,
therefore, as it presents itself in the
United States, according to an analy-
sis of the Conference Board, is not a
problem to be solved by legislation a.
lone, whether state or federal. Legis-
lation, it was said, prohibiting en-
ployment of young persons still Of
school age would not obviate neces-
sity of the support.
Contrary to general impression, by
far the greatest majority of children
who work are not employed by the
manufacturing industries but are
working on farms.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES

r.
We are in receipt Of very interest
ing letter from DR.. G. T. Atkinson,
says The Orisfeld Times, who with
Mrs. Atkinson, is spending the winter
at the Hotel Albion, in Baltimore. The
doctor says that both Mrs. Atkinson
and himself are in the best of health
and are enjoying their vacation very
much. H
DR.. Atkinson, who is great booster
for Crisfield and the Eastern Shore,
encloses a copy of letter, received
by one of the guests in the hotel,
from a prominent business man win
tering in Florida, and gives us permits
sion to publish same. The letter fol-
lows:
"Dear SIR
Am sure you would like to hear a
little news from Florida. The first
thing I know will come to your mind
will be about Real Estate. Well, the
bubble has busted and did SO with
such a sudden crash, am sure there
will not be mechanics enough to mend
it, as the hole is too big.
There is not anything at all being
done in way Of selling. Everyone
wants to sell, and there is no one who
will buy. Lots of people bought in
October and November at high prices,
thinking they would sell in January
and February at large profits, but the
buyers did not come this time, as they
have done in former years. Goodbye
to the wildcat schemes, they have al
passed like the ships in the night.
You can see lots Of rpen who thought
and acted few months ago like they
had millions, today only have in way
Of wealth pair Of short trousers ant
a white shirt, which was the costume
all big real estate dealers used tt
wear.
The Jews are about as scarce here
as mosquitoes are in Baltimore during
la blizzard. Up to December first
one could hardly walk the streets fol-
them. They soon found they could
not continue to make money on Flor
ida sand, as they used to call it."
AFTER having read the above, we a.
gree with DR.. Atkinson, that there is
no section in the United States that
can excel the good old Eastern Shore
and we council our people to look fol
and take advantage of the golden op-
portunities at home, instead of chas-
ing the rainbow or following bubble
that is sure to burst and make you
wish that you We're back home on the
little old Eastern. Shore.

AGRICULTURE

An added income of $35, 400 year
is enjoyed by Northampton county
farmers indirectly as a result Of keep
ing cows, according to the Larrowe
Institute of Animal Economies. This
income is in the form of a more fer
tile soil due to the manure of the
dairy cows in Northampton county,
on the basis Of practically $50 fertil-
izer valuation per animal per year,
this means a total of $35, AGO added to
the richness of the soil in Northamp-
ton county every IL months.
Manure is source Of the most val
liable plant food obtainable says the
institute, but to preserve it at its high
est value or efficiency, it should either
be put directly to the fields each day
OF conserved until such time as the
opportunity offers itself to spread it.
FEEDING trials have proven that an or
binary cow, while putting from Is to
10 per cent of the total energy Of the
feed she consumes into milk, actually
returns to the soil 80 per cent of the
elements of soil fertility in her feed
in> the form of manure. This had led
many dairymen to discover that the
purchase of good concentrate feeds
for their cows not only more than
pays for itself in increased milk pro-
duction but that it also supplies foot
to farm crops that are expensive wher
bought in the form of commercial fer
tilizers.

corner of the porch is a feature which
adds a pleasing touch of individuality
to this house and, together with the
treatment of plants, trees and vines
gives to a satisfactory degree the eff
feet of privacy.
The characteristic hOme-ike tone is
also found within the home. 1t may
be entered, from the porch, through
doors opening into both the living
room and dining room. The former,
placed at the front of the house, is
notable for its generous lighting sup
piled by windows on three sides and
is made cheerful by a large fireplace.
The dining room is also we'll lighted
and large. From it stairway leads
to the upper floor.
Directly back of the dining room is
the kitchen, small but cOmpactly ar
ranged and furnished with q large
storage pantry. Opposite this pantry
a breakfast room opens off the kitchen
while beyond is a small rear hall with
a door onto the back porch. From this
hall one also passes forward into
washrOom the placing of which, on the
first floor, will prove a great labor
saver to the hOusekeeper, who is thus
saved the effort of many trips up and
down the basement stairs.
1t is at this point that one change
might we'll be made in this plan
There is door opening from the
washroom into the dining room. While
it might often prove a convenience
and would not be Objectionable if al
ways kept tightly shut, it would really
be better to separate the dining room
and washroOm by solid wall.
On the upper floor will be found
three bedrooms. These are all large
and we'll lighted with ample pro-
vision for cross ventilation Each is
provided with a closet and there is an
additional closet, for linens, in the
hallway. The bathroom is placed most
conveniently to serve all the bedrooms,
just beside the stairway.

First Floor Plan.

Mr.. William A. Radford will answer
questions and give ADVICE FREE OF
COST on all problems pertaining to the
subject of building, for the readers of
this paper On account of his wide
experience as editor, author and man

There are as many different kinds of
houses as there are different kinds of
people and it is an interesting game,
in passing along the street, to try to
guess what the people living in any
house are like, judging from the ap-
pearance of their home. 1t is often
possible to make a fairly accurate
guess, too, for the knowing home build
er builds his own personality into his
home.
The playing of this game has a real
value for it causes one to observe
more closely the characteristics of
various houses and thus aids him when
the time comes to plan for his own
home. The interested observer will
find that every so often he sees one
house which, though very simple in its
style, makes a strong appeal by virtue
if it's decidedly home-like atmosphere
Such a house is shown in the ac-
companying photograph.
Probably the broad circling porch
is as much as anything responsible
for this atmosphere. Porches seem to
be left out of the plan for a very large
number Of modern homes, but there
are many who still feel that a porch
is an essential part of the home and
there are few to whom porch does
not make it's appeal.
