The protective tariff is the basis
on which the prosperity OF our farm
ers and Industrial workers largely
depends. It stands between our
standards of wages and living and
cheap foreign labor production. 1t
should be common knowledge that
practically everything the farmer
uses is sold him in free trade mar
ket. Practically everything of i'm
portance which he raises, he sells in
protected market.
American Farmers sell the bulk of
their produce at home. II we did
away with the tariff and allowed the
American manufacturing market to
be crippled by cheap labor, foreign
production, it would mean unem-
ployment or low wages and poor
living conditions for millions of our
Industrial workers. This would re-
strict the great home farm market
and farmers would be offering to sell
to those who we're short of money to
buy.
A reasonable tariff is our insur-
ancee for still greater industrial and
agricultural growth, which means
national solidity, prosperity and con
tentment.

Representative T. Alan Colds
borough will introduce in the next
session of Congress bill providing
for the establishment of u. S.
Weather Bureau station on the Eas-
tern Shore of Maryland. An an
nual appropriation OF $4,000 will be
necessary to maintain the station.
Weather forecasts, storm warnings
frost warnings, and other informa-
ton regarding climatic conditions
will be disseminated from the pro-
posedsstation, to farming and bus
mess interests. Mr.. Goldsdorough
explains.
ssSimilarly this. station will be use
fUi to the U, S. Weather Bureau by
Furnishing daily information about
atmospheric condition on the Del
Mar-va Peninsula.
Preference to a map" said Mr..
Goldsborough, will show that the
longest stretch on the Atlantic sea-
board without a Weather Bureau
station is that lying between Allan
tic City, N. j., and Norfolk, Va.
The Eastern Shore of Maryland,
situate half way between these cities
is logically the most advantageous
position for the new station.
Equipment of the new station, ac-
cording to Mr.. Goldsborough, will
be located on the rooof Of some office
building wherein Meteorological in
charge and his one or two assistants
will have their office. Information
will be sent out by telegraph, radio,
telephone, mail, and through the
newspaper columns.
Interest in the proposed station is
being shown by the Salisbury Cham
Der Of Commerce, the South Ocean
City Development Co.. the Del-Mar-
Va Association, the Kent County
Chamber of Commerce and farm and
other groups and individuals on the
Eastern Shore, who have asked the
cooperation OF Mr. Goldsborough.

FARE HALT AIDS
MERGER PLAN

The local traction companies are
in a highly advantageous position
for their fight in the forthcoming
session of Congress for ratification
# the merger plan.
They began to press their ad-
santage yesterday in formal
notification from the Capital Trac-
ion Company to the Public Utilities
Commission that II the merger is
rot approved during the coming
ession the movement for higher
Tres will be Immediately opened
gain.
In Excellent Position
The company agreed to accept the
commissions postponement of the
are case and not to appeal to the
courts, but insisted that 1t in no
way alters its position. that 1t is
legally and equitahly entitled to an
increased rate of fare and that the
same rate should apply on the lines
of the Washington Railway and
Electric Company"
The Capital Traction Company's
notice of its intention to renew the
fare fight If the merger is not ap-
proved Is believed to be an indica-
ton of the attitude it will take in
Congress.
During the last session when
members of Congress asked If the
merger would mean lower fares the
merger proponents lodged the ques
tion by declaring it would mean
lower fares than without merger.
Have Good Argument
Such an answer now will carry
much greater weight as the com
pany officials will undoubtedly claim
that the only reason fares are not
already higher is because of the
merger negotiations.
They win tell Congress that with
a merger fares will remain the
same for at least year but with
out e. merger they will 90 up i'm
mediately.
Congress, in other words. will be
in the position of having to choose
between the merger or higher fares,
either of which is distasteful to
many of the civic leaders.

another winner in comedy
that does not offer one dull

tinually developing throughout

scien of a wealthy Argentine
family who is continually being
misunderstood by those enforc.
ing the law.

Rod as Jaime Montez in staving
off a holdup of an American
COLLEGE professor and his daugh-
ter from bandits, is mistaken
for the desperate chief AMI the
party escapes with zone kiss"
being paid by the daughter
jeanette Loft.
Later Montez is sent to Yale
and on arrival falls afoul of the
law through the ministrations
of the freshman reception con.
mittee.. He meets the girl again
and from then on Hold En-
Yale" moves through series
of laugh making situations that
register on the screen effectively.
Finding that boxing is a game
in which a fellow must keep his
eyes open at all times and not let
his conceit floor him. as 1t does.
for the count of ten, Jaime goes
in for football and in the end wins
the game for Yale In the last
minute Of play. OF course he
marries the girl.

tective adds to the comic situa-
tons in the piece. Joseph Cav.

cast.
Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy
