Rain Breaks
Long Drouth

General conditions in this section
of the country assumed a promising
atmosphere over the weekend when
a steady, three day rain descended
to put an end to the long drouth
period.
The rain was followed by light
snow ~flurries and soil has been left
IN good condition for seeding. AL
though the precipitation was not
heavy enough to provide I'M great
amount of moisture, it has helped
soil conditions considerably and been
a boon to grazing lands. The rain
started in again about midnight last
night for a steady drizzle and at
neon today looks like its good for
another three day spell.
With soil conditions taking on q
0 favorable aspect, and every
body's frowns turning to smiles.
farmers as well as all others AN re-
lolce in the fact that the seed loans
are again appearing in Sheridan
county in increasing numbers. While
there are a large number of loan
checks yet to come, receipt Of about
300 checks in the county in the past
week is evidence that obstacles in
the path of the disbursement mach
inery are being removed.
Saturday, April 80, is the last day
to make application for the federal
seed loan

Whole Country May Be
Put Under Martial Law

Martial law Is arbitrary govern
ment in cases where the safety of
the state or nation is menaced. It
is really not law at all and has no
relation TO military law, which IS
an established code for the regula-
tion Of military forces. Martial law
is the law Of military necessity in
the actual presence of war and Is
justified only when. because Of act
ual invasion or civil war, the courts
are closed and it is impossible to
administer justice according to law.
The Supreme Court Of the United
States has held that a state may
proclaim martial law when the
safety of the state demands it. 1t
is presumed that the Constitution,
by implication, also permits the
declaring of martial law in the
United States as a whole. This i'm
plicatfon is contained in the clause
providing that the privileges OF the
writ Of habeas corpus shall not be
suspended except I'm cases of rebel
lion or invasion, when such saspen-
sion is essential TO the public well

TALKS AT MIDDLETOWN
Edwin @. TOtten Addressed Middle
town Rotary Wednesday Night

Stating that there has never
been time when there was great
er need of community service such
as rendered by civic organizations
and service clubs than the present,
Edwin G. Totten, Executive Secre-
tary of the Del-Mar-Va Eastern
Shore Association, addressed the
Middletown Rotary at their meet
ing Wednesday night. Mr.. Totten
said that there is unquestionabIe
evidence in many communities
throughout the Del-Mar-Va PENN
sula that the projects carried out
by Chambers of Commerce, Ro-
tary, Lions, KiWanis and similar
organizations, have gone far in re-
ducing serious effects of the de-
preston and have resulted in the
Peninsula being one of the few ag-
ricultural districts where the pres
ent economic conditions are being
met with a determined endeavor to
overcome them. There is an out
standing spirit Of optimism in evi-
dence at the present time through
out the lower counties of the Pen
insula where growers are looking
forward to the strawberry crop
which is the first major crop of the
season. There are indications that
there will be a good market, and
even though it is early to make
prediction, there is also a feeling
of optimism regarding the white
potato outlook at this time. The
splendid spirit of determination ex-
isting among our citizens is GER
tainly an indication that when we
start up grade again Del-Mar-Va
will be among the first to regain
a sound position" he said. The
speaker also outlined activities of
the Del-Mar-Va Association and
said that the 'Del-Mar-Va Year
Book" which will present the story
of the Peninsula as unit as we'll
as providing each community an
opportunity to tell its own story
and feature its points of intrest
and attractions, is now in the
hands of the printers and rapid
progress is being made on it. Sub
stantial support from practically
all communities where the Asso-
cations field representatives have
demonstrated the book is being
found. Mr.. w. Daily, one of As
sociation's field representatives
followed Mr.. Totten's talk with a
clean cut explanation of the AN
nual Year Book" which is to be
distributed by the Association
through the various agencies p1ac-
ing literature of this type as well
as in answer to direct inquiries re-
ceived at Association headquarters
Many demands for the new book
have already been received and
with the general tourist traffic this
year expected to be more or less
limited in distance from the larger
metropolitan centers in the East,
the association believes that Del
Mar-Va will receive a far greater
share than the sections at more
distance points.
