The Claiborne-Annapolis Ferry Co.,
announce that their new steamer will
be on the route by July 1st. This was
assured when a new steel hull, al
ready built was purchased in New
York and taken to Brooklyn where
the contractors absolutely guarantee
to deliver the steamer at Annapolis
on June 28th.
Much of the deckhousing has al
ready been built that was wrecked 8
weeks ago. Fortunately new steel
hull was found in New York that
would take the housing already plan
ned for, so no delay will be experienc-
ed. The new hull was of kind that
will take the installation Of the four
Diesel engines and has a little more
width than the other hull had.
The new hull was delivered to the
shipyard in Brooklyn where the origi-
nal contract had been placed, and
the guarantee of June delivery en-
phasized. When the new boat is on
the trip it will carry hundred cars
and will make the trip between Clai-
borne and Annapolis in an hour and
twenty minutes. &.
Ample saloon accommodations, din
ing and smoking room service will be
provided for. The boat can be loaded
or unloaded in less than three minutes
as the boats will be double endel
and can dock in two minutes time. AL
cars can runon or off without back
ing.

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES

Reports are current that a move
ment is on foot in New Castle coun-
ty to create a fourth county in Della
ware.
The reports are to the effect that
next state legislature will be asked to
create a Wilmington county, extend
ing from the southern limits of New
Castle to the Pennsylvania state
Y line on the north, and from the Della
ware river to the western boundary
line. This would divide New Castle
county into two counties.
Proponents of the plan believe that
it will overcome the objections made
by suburban communities which re-
Gently voted against annexation to
Wilmington because of the fear that
their taxes would be increased.
Those favoring the plan point out
that the creation of a new county will
mean there will be but one assessment
board, and, therefore, but one tax.
The board would be elected by the
Levy Court.

Miraculously escaping serious, if
not fatal injuries, Brakeman ]. w.
Bundick had two toes mashed off his
left foot at 800 o'clock Thursday
morning of last week in the local rail-
road yards while making coupling
with a draft of box cars. He fell from
the impact as the cars struck.

end of the yard when the accident oc-
Cured. He was brought to Cape
Charles by telegraph operator J. A.
Rev, on duty at Cape Junction block
office, and DR.. ]. M. Lynch dressed
the wound. The injured man was tax
en- to a Norfolk Hospital on the morn
ing steamer. The report is that he

The condition of Talbot county
wheat as reported by county farmers
is rs per cent. of normal compared
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise., 1926-05-01

with sc per cent. on April 1, 1926 and
Sc the ten-year average.
Owing to unfavorable weather con-
ditions last fall a very large per cent.
cf the crop was planted late ,and the
late period wheat appears to have
suffered more than the relatively
small amount of early planted wheat.
Reports from nearly all sections of
the State indicate that the crop suf-
fered from insufficient snow covering,
particularly during the cold, windy
weather in March. Alternating per-
iods of freezing and thawing caused
heaving in a large proportion of the
fields.

In the interest of studying the
school conditions of the county, not
long ago the Rotary Club of Easton
authorized an investigation of school
facilities and needs, appointing a
committee for the purpose.
Beginning first in Easton where
the need of another school building
has been felt, the Committee this
week invited State Superintendent
Cook and Consultant Architect Wilson
Smith, of the State Board of Educa-
ton to come and make an inspection
of the present High School building.
These gentlemen came to Easton
and were made acquainted with the
local conditions. They were told that
present High School building is
thought to be best available for Pri-
mary and Elementary grades and that
a new High school building will be
built exclusively for the High school
grades.

polemic with Rodbertus in Theories of Surplus

Naturalization of the land provides the posi-
biity OF abolishing absolute rent leaving only
diferential rent. According to the teaching of
Marx naturalization means the most thOro re-
movda of medieval monopolies and medieval
relations from agriculture, the greatest freedom
of commercial operations with the land, the
greatest facility for adapting agriculture to the
market. 1t is an irony of history that the Popu-
list movement, in the name of struggle"
against capital in agriculture, conducts an ag-
rarian program the complete realization of which
would mean the most rapid development of cap
Nalism in agriculture.
What economic necessity in one of the most
backward peasant countries of Asia, has caused
the diffusion of the most advanced bourgeois
democratic land programs? 1t was the necessity
for destroying feudalism in all its forms and
manifestations.

Japan, so much the more was it threatened with

sphere, the most rapid capitalistic progress by
means Of Matchmaking the land.

ITT lis night From the hilltop you look over
the village. You know it's there, but you
can't see it, the wind is so black. A few chalk
ines are drawn on the blackboard that the
/ hight makes in front of your eyes. That is day
Poming; it grows lighter quickly and the cold
wind thrusts the great hollow of the valley
before your eyes.
Standing on the slope above the valley you
ian build the scene like a panorama. Helped
by the wide shapeless light of dawn you can
pick out the village, the woods, the fields the
mountains, all in miniature, from under the
ceiling of melting shadows.
Far below appear a lot of tiny square things,
which become ruddy. then red. Tile roofs. The
houses range themselves evenly, side by side in
their fenced yards. Lights prick through this
Ichessboard:' in this house and in that, people
Iarefputting the night out ofsdoors. Further off,
rov Is and squares Of poplar trees lift themselves
OUT Of the shadows, and the last poplar of all,
with only a little bundle of leaves at its very
tip seems like the creased pole at fair Near
er, right in the middle of the village you can
see the public square, with the fronts of the
shops around its edges.
Little moving specks, which each have what
you can't see from here; at the top two eyes
inside heart and outside, paint The wash
erwomen. You can't see them separately, these
washerwomen, but you can see the water of
the brook running cloudy with soapsuds below
the group of them on the bank. It's queer how
the people of the brickyards and the FARMS
themselves invisible, show the tangled skein of
all their goings and comings to the watcher on
the hillside. The cemetery, which does nothing
at all-the seamy side of the villages spread
out beside the village, and it is there that the
sunlight first touches the immense box of the
valley.
IF you approach the village going down the
hillside, you pass through rookeries, full of
crows. And at every footstep, big rapacious
bird flaps up with a noise like a shaken-out
overcoatsp You see the pine cones on the pine
trees, like flowers of wood, and warm soil un-
derfoot; you hear distant cries, the ROSTERS
mile-long growing, the bells. You hear the
heavy sound of cart. Then it's one and an
other that you see, of the people who live
around here. But above all, you see him.
Over there, you see him. He must look like
any other farmland to you as he stands be-
side the shop where the baker is putting little
naked rolls into the oven.
There he is, that's the man. Good Lord
that's him. He'll begin to talk, and it'll be
more and more himself
that rudy and well-built man. he's content

Excited Over Wedding,
 Fails to Prepare Speech

Getting married Is not an exciting event in the life of Johnston Moore, waiter at the Burritt hotel. At least that is what the members of the newly organized Dunbar Wheat ley literary club think.
 The club held its meeting Friday evening at the home of E. Singleton. [ Yale street. Thirty-eight members were present, including two new ones. It was surprise party for Mir. Singleton.
 A part of the program included a reading of the history of Phyllis Wa verly by Miss Barbara Lee. Moore was called on for remarks. He told his friends he did not know of any, thing that would interest them be- cause inasmuch as he and Miss Lee were going to be married the next day, he had neglected to prepare 8 speech.
 The wedding took place Saturday as per schedule in the A. M. E. Zion church in Plainville, Rev. M. N. Greene of that congregation per- forming the ceremony.
 The bride is the daughter of Mrs. Ernest Hallback of Plainville. Moore Is native of Harrisburg, Pa. Dur ing the recent illness Of c. B. White he was acting head waiter at the Burritt hotel.

AUTO DRIVER CAUGHT BY
 | SHARP DETECTIVE WORK
Ellmcer Follows Up Slim Clue and Arrests Operator of Truck
 in Collision

Tn police court this morning. the case of Fred Tefft of 25o Franklin avenue. Hartford, charged with evading responsibility and reckless driving, was continued until Novem- Der on request of Attorney s. Polk Waskowitz.
 Tefft's arrest came about as a re- suit os the alertness of Detective Sergeant George c. Ellinger. who investigated an accident on Hartford road last Friday evening in which a truck driven by Tefft and an auto mobile driven by Mrs. Lillian Whaples Of 74 Congress avenue. Hartford. figured. The sergeant overheard two men mention the name, of the Plaut Co. of Hartford, at the scene of the accident, and following this meagre clue, he was able to fit onto one of the companys trucks, two pieces which are said to have been knocked off in the col lision.
 Further Investigation led to the arrest of Tefft, who denied he was in the accident.
