PREPARE BALLOTS FOR
REFERENDUM ON ALL
PENINSULA ACTIVITIES
TContinned from first Paael

whereby public sentiment can be
quickly and conclusively ascertain
ed
We have decided that the quickest
way is to attack the problems
directly by asking a selected list of
business men to speak their minds
fully and frankly.
We have therefore prepared a
Referendum Ballot. 1t contains
three questions upon which you are
asked to vote, Eyes or nO) and two
supplementary propositions upon
which we ask you to express your
opinion.
Those receiving the ballot will be
asked to answer three questions,
accompanying their answers with
such general suggestions as they
may care to make. They will be
asked first, to voice their individual
view, second, to give the view of
the business interests with which
they are associated and third, to
summarize what they believe to be
the prevailing opinion in their COM
munity.
In addition to the three direct
inquiries, answers are requested on
two general propositions. First,
those who may vote in favor of con-
tinuing the Association will be ask
ed to make their suggestion re-
garding additions or revisions to its
working program. Second, those
who may vote to discontinue the
Association will be asked to suggest
what other organization or form of
organization "Or what other provis-
ion of any sort should be made by
Peninsula business in substitution
of the Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore
Association as means of unitedly
handling the following problems:
(a) Railroad, waterways and
highway transportation, problems,
including negotiations, claims and
settlements with the railroads and
Interstate and inter-county work
with the Federal and State water
ways and highways commissions.
(b) The publicizing and adver-
tising of Peninsula lands, resources
and products as means of creating a
generally wider market for the
same.
(c) Business. agricultural and
economic research as a means of
enabling Peninsula business to
know the facts which it has to work
in continuing or improving it's con-
dition in competition with other
general localities, such as the
Carolinas, the Pacific Coast and
Florida in their drives on eastern
capital and markets.
The Referendum Ballot, says
DR.. G.. Layton Grier, President of the
Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore Associ-
alton, will go out as rapidly as pos
sible. We hope all those receiving
the ballot will cooperate with the
committee and send in their replies
as promptly as possible. The COM
mittee is acting as neutral body
and we are indebted to the men who
have consented to serve on it.
Those who receive the ballots can
Tighten the labors of this Committee
by making prompt reply thus obvi-
ating a rush of ballots at the end of
the Referendum period. The Com
mittee will of coures, analyze the
voting and this task will be much
easier if the replies come in prompt
ly.
when the Referendum returns
are all in and the vote has been
the Association will have
a number of important announce
ments to make"

WHEAT GROWERS
WARNED OF Loss
BY GREAT BLIGHT
rCnntinned from first taael

wheat from Delaware and Maryland
was graded smutty. Delaware's es-
timated yield of wheat for the 1927
crop is 1,677,O0O bushels and Mary
lands yield was placed at 10,587OOO
bushels. According to these figures
nearly 100000 bushels of smutty
wheat was raised in those states
with a loss in market value of about
$420,000. A conservative estimate
of the loss from the smut disease in
the three states mentioned would be
over $1,000,000.
In view of the tremendous losses
certain to result from the infection
of seed wheat with stinking smut,
wheat growers should avail them
selves of the simple, inexpensive
methods of prevention which have
been thoroughly tested and which
will guarantee practically complete
immunity from damage from this
disease.
every wheat grower should call
upon his county agent for advice
and assistance to enable him to
treat his seed wheat and avoid the
losses almost sure to result if he
omits the treatment"

1O,OOO,0OO tons of commerce dur
ing the first year of operation.
THE New Jersey situation has
been jealousy safeguarded against
unfair bridge construction on either
end of the approaches to the propOs-
ed canal. Likewise, the State of
New Jerseys legislative assurance
that the right way will be provided
when the Government is ready to
act remains inact.
"The cost of constructing this
connecting link between the North
and South in the greatest industrial
and commercial centre of the United
States, bringing the sea into the in
terror anr safeguarding vessels of
allsizes, including vessels of war,
would be equivalent of the cost of
single battleship.
Major General Edgar Jadwin,
chief of the United States Army
Engineers, told delegates an in
crease of nearly fifty per cent has
been noted in tonnage on inland
waterways in the last four years
and his department had been allot-
ted $4.000,000 to make waterways
navigable.
The general urged the establish
ment of truck lines as feeders to in
land waterways. He described the
waterways of the United States as
having plenty of length but no
breadth"
Citing a 100000 tons increase in
freight carried by inland waterways
parelleling the coast, General Jad-
win said that introduction of trucks
could extend the effectiveness of
the waterways to include a belt of
150 miles wide.

LISTS OF POSTAL PATRONS

There has been quite a demand for
these lists from commercial insur-

WHO KNOWS?
By HILBERT HUBBARD

I have a profound respect for boys,
 grimy. ragged, tousled boys in the
 street often attract me strangly.
 A boy is man in the cocoon-you
 do not know what it is going to be-
 come-his life is big with many pos
 abilities.
 He may make or unmake kings,
 change boundary lines between states. write books that will mold | characters, or invent machines that
 will revolutionize the commerce of
 the world
 Every man was once a boy. | trust I shall not be contradicted; it is really so.
 Very distincly and viyidly I re-
 member slim. fyeckled boy, who was born in a Patch" and used 10
 pick up coal along the railroad tracks in Buffalo. A few months ago l had motion to make before the Supreme Court and the boy from the Patch" was the Judge wno wrote the opinion granting my peti- ton.
 Yesterday I rode horseback past a field where boy was blowing. The lads hair stuck out through the top of his hat; his form was bony and awkward; one suspender held his trousers in place. his bare legs and arms were brown and sun- burned and brier-scarred.
 He swung his horses around just as l passed by. and from under the Tapping brim of his hat he cast a quick glance out of the dark, half bashful eyes and modestlv returned my salute. His back turned, took off my hat and sent a God bless-you l down the furrow after him. Who knows?-I may go to that boy to borrow money, or to hear him preach, or to beg him to defend me in lawsuit; or he may stand with pulse unhastened, bare of arm, in White apron, ready to do his duty, while the cone is placed over my -ace, and Night and Death come into my veins. Be patient with the boys-you are dealing with soulstuff. Destiny awaits just around the corner.
