SEE CANTALOUPE PROSPECT
Sussex County is Largest Shipper.
Present Prices Cheer Growers

CantaloupeS were sold at from
S1.50 to S2.4O a crate at the two
auction blocks in Salisbury, Md,
last week and, with flats" con-
tanning dozen cantaloupes bring
ing around So cents, leading grow
ers and buyers in this section of
the Delmarva Peninsula believe To-
cal farmers will have a very prof
liable cantaloupe season. The good
prices for cantaloupes, coming
right on top of the most success
full cucumber crop in years and in
the wake of strawberry season
that was profitable to growers,
should serve further to compen-
safe farmers of this immediate
section for none too good year
in 1928, observers believe. Altho
exact figures for Monday were not
available, shipments being split be-
tween railroads and trucks, it was
said to be easily the largest days
movement since cantaloupe ship
mentS started about a week ago.
The acreage around Salisbury and
Wicomico county is said to be
about the same as in 1928, but the
yield, due to blight, will be con-
siderably less, it is believed.
Strong competition is being furn-
ished in markets of the country by
fruit from other section, notably

Announcement was made by
Wilbur Ross Hubbard, president of
the Kent County Horse Show As
sociation, that the fifth annual
show will be held the afternoon of

not yet been decided upon but it
is thought probable that a large

of the show committee shortly to
be held. Special features viii in

120 carloads went into New York
alone one day last week. This
dovetailing of shipments has re-
acted, it is said, in an absence of
extra-fancy prices with which the
season is usually begun, although
some fruit has brought under the
hammer So or a little better. When
the outside competition dies down
smaller crop locally, it is believed
that the market will remain good.
Despite the blight, caused by
weather conditions, which has
made quite a few patches look as
though they have been burned, the
cantaloupes being bought under
the block are said to be of good
quality. A United States Depart
ment of Agriculture reports for
1928 reveals that last season the
equivalent of 2,520 cars of canta-
loupes were moved from Della
ware, the Eastern Shore of Mary
land and Virginia. About fifty
five per cent of the shipments were
by rail the remainder by truck.
Sussex county, the lower part of
Delaware, is the largest shipping
unit on the Delmarva Peninsula,
the equivalent of $40 cars going
from there. Wicomico county,
Maryland, of which Salisbury is
the county seat, was a close sec
ond, with 891. Dorchester was
third. The equivalent of only two
cars went from the Eastern Shore

The horrible details of how Mrs

an injection of formalin in one OF
her kidneys were uncovered by this
newspaper and published fully IN

Mr.. Garrett has hesitated In
bringing suit because of prevslen'
notion that in Virginia in the case
If a quasi charitable institution like
st. Vincent's no action can lie. Mr.
Garrett is informed that this notion
is not supported by precedence ir
similar cases in Virginia in the past
But under the laws of Virginia thu
extent of recovery of damages in the
death of a person is limited to SlO,-
600.
Other cases are expected to deve-
lop against st. Vincent's on account
of fatalities resulting from the USE
of deadly solution Of embalmlne
fluid in cases calling for a solu-
ton of one per cent silver nitrate
Some one in st. Vincents put AZ
per cent solution of formalin IN a
bottle labeled Silver Nitrate and, ac-
cording to the testimony of st
Vincent's nurse, the mistake was
not discovered until five days later

ported this year. He states that out

or SO horces Is being sought for
Elizabeth City by f. N. Simpson

enlisted the services of d. ID.
Saunders, secretary of the local
Chamber of Commerce in trying
to bring the unit here.
It is the belief of tho3e interest
ed that could they get enough pub
'ic interest they would have nc
trouble at all in getting the unit
here, in view of the fact that there
is nothing Of the sort in this par
of the State It. would mean righ'
much for Elizabeth City, they point
out, in that the feed for the horses
bought here in the city Woulo
amount to a tidy sum in the
course of year, and it would give
employment to from three to five
men in careing for the horses.
The membership would be made
up of locally enlisted men and 1t Is
thought even that the officers coho
be found right here in the city
providing some one with experience
in this line could be induced to joir
the local company.
Secretary Saunders is carrying or
correspondence with the proper au-
thorities but up to now has had M
definite information on the posi-
bility of bringing the unit here.

Elizabeth City is being consider

Airways and E. c. Sutton, represent
ative of the Curtis Service, were in

local Chamber of Commerce, as to
the possibility of securing an air
port and making this city schedul-
ed stop on the proposed route.
Secretary Saunders, accompanied
by DR.. William Parker and Messrs.
Calhoun and Sutton visited several
different sites that could be con-
verted into airports, and have TWO
sites under serious consideration.
Messrs. Calhoun and Sutton will re-
turn next week. for further investl-
cations.
Elizabeth City is ideally situated
for an airport, having facilities for
both land and water planes. The
question of an airport here has
been agitated for some time, but
nothing has ever been done. Many
here are enthusiastic for this city
to fall in line with other North
Carolina cities all along the coast
that are lining up with the pro-
gresSive cities of the country by
establishing airportS.

THE LOW DOWN ON THAT NEW YORK VENTURE

What do you suppose poGses-e
wv. O." to go to New York and
parade up and down Broadway and
Fifth Avenue in pajamaS? When
he had tried it on Elizabeth City
and cot the idea broadcast all over
the world by the Associated Press,
the United Press, HearStS Interna-
tional, the Pacific and Atlantic
Photos, Inc, the N. E. A. and the
Pathe News, wouldn't you have
thought he would have stopped
there?" 1t was the Soda Jerker
speaking.
His friend the Bank Clerk re-
piled: I'll let you into the secret.
The trouble with w. o. was he per-
mitted himself to be photographed
once too often. Carl Goerch came
over from Washington one day lasS
week and made a lot of photos OF
Saunders, the Mayor, Chief Holmes,
etc. For the occasion w. o. don
ned a very pretty but very poorly
fitting suit Of pajamas. The pa
iamas he wore for Carl Goerch were
made loosely and carelesSly as most
pajamaS are.
And when w. o. saw those
photographs apped by Carl
Goerch he was hacked. Those
Goerch pictures would certainly kill
the idea of pajamas for street wear
anywhere in America if permitted
to go forth to the newspapers and
it was too late to stop EN-. Carl
Goerch works fast.
There was only one thing for w
O. to do; in order to offset the un-
inviting showing of the Goerch pic
lures, he had to provide some stunt
to get better pictures. And that's
the real low down on why he went
to New York. Did you notice that
the pajamas shown in the New York
pictures we're altogether different
from his original outfit? He had
'em made to order by The Faultless
Mfg Co, the big pajamaS makers
up in Baltimore. The trousers
