In spite of adverse weather condi-
tions of snow, sleet and freezing tenn
perature which has prevailed over the
Shore almost continuously since the
planting of potatoes started, North
ampton's crop is under the ground
and from the best information OBJ
tainable, a full normal crop has been
planted.
Some growers fear rot from frost
reaching the potatoes during the Sc
were freezes, however, the general O.
pinion is that the crop in general is
not hurt and unless something unfore-
seen happens to prevent the potatoes
from coming through the ground, q
normal stand is expected.
AS many of the growers and seed
brokers have said during the last ten
days, "The farms are worked up and
the land in perfect shape and the seed
used this spring was the best seen IN
many years and unless the freezing
weather has hurt the seed in the
ground, there is nothing to prevent a

FROM OUR
EXCHANGES

The new Ferry steamer, to run on
the Claiborne Annapolis route is rap
idly being built. Manager Sherman
said he had strong belief that the new
boat would be turned over to him in
June and that July 1st would see 1t
established on the route.
The steamer will be longer and
broader than the Harrington. It's mo.
tive power will be in the hull and will
consist of four DIESEL engines. There
will be six runways on the lower deck
for cars, and hundred can be ac.
commodated at one time. The con
struction will enable a full cargo oil
cars to. run off in two minutes, and al
many to run on in five minutes.
Mr.. Sherman hopes to have 81,
round trips in day during the peal
of the summer trade. The dining
room will be on the hurricane deck
and will be equipped with an electric
kitchen. Meals can be served at al
hours. The trip will be made in moi
more than an hour and ten minutes
and possibly a few minutes better
The builders are hoping to produce :
speed that will make the trip possible
in an hour.

Boarded at midnight Tuesday night
of last week by Federal Prohibition
Agent R. D. Ford, of Washington, ac-
companied by local authorities, a
Western Shore schooner owned and
commanded by Capt. Matthew Bailey
of st. Mary's county, was raided in a
search for liquor. Thirty-six gallons
Of alleged moonshine were found.
Capt. Bailey and the members OF
his crew were arrested for illegal
transportation, of liquor, an dcarried
tc Salisbury for hearing. They were
later RELEASED on bond, for their ap-
pearance before the Federal Grand
Jury in Baltimore. The schooner was
ordered taken to Baltimore, to be held
by the Federal authorities.
The boat, which is large two-mas-
tee 500" sc:.tercd tn Crisfield har-
Dor presumably with a cargo of oys-
ters fo.' sale in the local market.
It is reported, however, that most
OF her cargo consisted of moonshine
liquor inn orted from the Western
Shore of Maryland. Suspicion that the
boat was engaged in the liquor traffic
was first aroused among local authori-
ties when it was noticed that numer-
Gus automobiles were visiting the
dock whese the schooner was anchor
cd and loaded and driven away under
cover Of darkness.
It is thought that much Of the

liquor cargo had been disposed Of be-
fore the raid was made.
Reports have been current for some
time that liquor in large quantities
has been entering Crisfeld harbor
but this is the first arrest among boat
csptains.
In the past boats could enter the
harbor, unload their liquor cargo al
night by transferring to the shore in
small boats and have been unmolested
but it is expected that more vigilan'
watch will be made by local authori'
ties upon all boats entering the har'
Dor and especially those coming from
Western Shore points where it is re
ported much of the liquor is made.

One of the most interesting events
in fraternal circles of Crisfeld was
the visitation of the Grand Lodge Of
ficers of the Knights Of Pythias, to
Annamessex Lodge No. 80, of Girls
field on Wednesday night of last week.
Grand Chancellor Nelson w. Rus
sler, of Cumberland, Nd, Grand In
spector B. Mercer Hartman, of Balti-
more, and Grand Prelate, ]. Millard
Tawes, of Crisfield are making tour
of the Easter Shore Lodges and came
to Crisfild on Wednesday to be pres
ent at the regular meeting of the To-
cal Pythians, held in the Ward build
ing, on Wednesday evening. Past
Chancellor w. E. Hustler, Of Allie
gheny Lodge, Cumberland, Nd, visit
irg members from Pocomoke City and
Princess Anne and about fifty men,
bers of the local lodge were present.
The rank of Esquire was conferred
in very impressive and thorough
manner by Annamessex Lodge prof.
Gent degree team, after which a
sumptuous repast was served.
The visiting officers as well as the
Grand Prelate and other out-of-town
visitors delivered stirring addresses
in which they stressed the point that
they had found conditions such as
made it possible for them to tell the
local lodge of a wonderful growth not
only in Pythianism, but also CORE
spending growth in the spirit Of fra
ternity and service throughout the en-
tire State of Maryland. They compli-
mented Annamessex Lodge upon the
manner in which the degree had been
conferred and the very successful en-.

HEARINGS SLATED
ON 4D. c. BILLS
Will Be Conducted Wednes-
day and Thursday Before
House Committee.

-Four important District bills are
Wednesday and Thursday before the
House committee on public buildings
and grounds
The most important Of these iH for
the enlargement of the Capitol
grounds by completing Government
ownership Of the plaza between the
Capitol and Union Station. The Gov
eminent already owns much of til ~
land. but on the parts still privately
owned most OF the dormtories
known as Government Hotels have
been erected.
1t is proposed in this legisla tion
to authorize the use of sl,s00.000
still available in the Treasury and
whatever additional sum may be
necessary to complete the purchase.
Action at this time is urged be-
cause the Government is paying Sl5.-
600 in rental for part OF this land tu
the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad Co.
and 1t is argued that this IS very
uneconomic when the Government
intends to purchase the land. This
bill already has passed the Senate.
Another bill TO be considered 81
the hearing. authorizes the purchase
by the Secretary of Commerce of
site and the construction and equip
ment theron of a building for use AS
a master track scale and test car
depot. at n cost not to exceed $50. 900.
The third bill authorizes the con
struction by the Secretary Of Com
merce of a power plant building on
the present site of the Bureau Of
Standards at a cost not TO exceed
5000 900.
The fourth bill authorizes the re-
| moval of the gates and piers in West
Executive avenue between the
grounds of the " hite House and the
state. War and Navy Building.
A fifth bill to he cosidered proposes

CALLED "NARROWEST TOWN

The town of Bingham, Utah, has
been called the worlds narrowest
town and also might be termed the
"noisest," said bulletin by the Ma
tional Geographic Society today
describing the scene near which many
lives were snuffed out by an avalanche.
The copper mining community OF
some 5000 persons, said the bulletin
trails along the bottom OF canyon
about two miles, and nowhere is the
canyon more than so feet wide. Resi-
dents while in their homes can shak
hands with passing motorists, and an
unexpected approach of car some
times means tourist will have to
back quarter of a mile to let 1t pass.
The society described the town in
daylight as being ''punctuated ny IRE
auent fusillades of blasting from the
nearby copper mines. and normally IL
sees score or more of premeditated
avala nches."
An amazing spectacle for the thou
sa nds of tourists who motor through
the town each Summer, the society
said, was the sight of putting locomD-
tives scurrying around the dozen tiers
of mining railroad which spiral the
ore streaked mountain gradually
being moved down by the search for
ore. Moving of the tracks every few
days was said to be required as the
lasting digs deeper into the noun
tain sides
