some in gold doubloons. We have sunk our ship to

CLERGYMAN IS
AUTHOR OF A
HISTORY VOLUME
Rev. Clayton Terrence, Of Prin-
cess Anne Writes OF The
Early Somerset History

"The Democrat" is in receipt of a
prospectus of book written by Rev.
Clayton Terrence, rector Of st. An
drews Episcopal Church, Princess
Anne and published by Whittet and
Shepperson, Richmond, Virginia, the
title being, cold Somerset on the
Eastern Shore of Maryland"
Quoting from the Preface, the au-
thor says:
"This present study has been con-
fined to the subject Of the founda-
tons and founders of Somerset; and
its purpose is that of an introduction
to any succeeding studies, by whom
soever made, in later aspects of the
county's history. The wealth of orr
ginal material in the local and provin-
cial archives, on which this study is
based has proved Incompatible in
quantity and quality. My inquiries
Of, and discussions with, persons in
regard to the actual origins of Somer-
set very few of them have known and
fewer of them seem to realize, the
greatness of these origins and the sig
nificance Of the early events in the
county's history"
The contents deal with history dat
ing back to 1862 and reaching over a
period of nearly so years, and in a
very graphic and interesting way tells
of the laws, customs, religion and edu-
cation of the people. Inasmuch the
history of Somerset is bound up
with that of Worcester, the book is
of interest to the people of the latter
county and is well worth purchasing
and reading by residents of this sec
ton.

in the above named publication does
not name the fortunate "tipster."
A second prize of $15 also came to

A. J. Mercier of CaleXico, a di-
rector at large OF the Broadway OF
America association, gave a very
interesting talk on the Broadway
at the El Centro Chamber of Com
merce luncheon yesterday, to a
large group Of business men and
Broadway boosters. Starting with
the summer Of 1927 when c. w.
Taylor of Las Cruces, New Mex
co first conceived the idea of this
great international highway, Mer-
cier traced the actual formation of
the present association, through
the assistance of San Diego and of
the Ell PaSo Chamber of Commerce
and carried the history on to the
present day.
Mercier pointed out that in 1927
only 76 per cent of the Broadway,
which is 5000 miles long, was paved
and that today 81 per cent Of the
route is paved, due to the efforts
of this organization. An amusing
incident in connection with unpaved
sectors Of the route was brought
out by the speaker in connection
with the 1923 convention at Mem
phis. when a motorcade of 200 cars
enroute to Memphis got stuck in
the mud in Arkansas. Before the
convention had ended, Mercier
stated. a special appropriation had
been made to improve the Broad
way in Arkansas.
In stressing the importance OF
the convention TO be held in Dallas
next week Mercier pointed out that
s91 100000 was spent in Southern
California last year by visitors
from other states. "Many persons
do not appreciate the tourist dol
lar" Mercier stated, ''but if We do
not get our percentage of this S9l,-
100000 in Imperial Valley we are
making a great mistake. These
people are the same ones who like
to climb on the milk wagon Of the
chamber Of commerce and drink
the cream, then they jump off and
drag their feet to retard the prog
ress Of the vehicle"
L.. Goree, president Of the Cal
exico Chamb-r Of Commerce was
present al the luncheon a n d
brought with him James Canaris,
of the Calexico high school who
was serving as city treasurer OF
Calexico yesterday under the " Boys
Week" program being observed IN
that city. Canaris was also acting
as president Of the CaleXico Cham
Der Of Commerce and was obsery-
ing appraisals of home loan prop
erty with Goree as part Of his du-
ties for the day.

MAN To
KEEP DATE

When Earl Z. Anderson meets
two friends on a street corner IN
Denver two weeks from Saturday
night and with them sits down to
dinner and then attends theatre,
a meeting that was arranged 20
years ago will have been fulfilled.
Anderson who is office manager
for the Haas Baruch company here
will leave for Denver tomorrow re-
turning later this month.
The story as Anderson told it to-
day is that on May 19, 1914, he and
these two friends attended a the
atre and dined in Denver having a
most enjoyable time together.
Knowing that they were to be sep
arated within short time the trio
agreed TO meet again on specified
date and repeat that evenings en-
tertainment.
The date"' was made for 20
years from that evening, not that
that exact number Of years bore
any particular meaning to the
group but just in order that some
definite time limit might be set.
1t was not taken so seriously at
that time, Anderson said, but as
the years have rolled past the ap-
preaching "date" has taken on a
deep significance. The meeting
now so near of fulfillment will be a
real celebration, he said.
Anderson is to drive to Denver
accompanied by Mrs. S. E. Epler
and Mr. and Mrs. D. B. Bromley,
all local residents. It will be Mrs.
Bromley's first return to Denver
since 1910.

CHAPTER XVI

1t was early in March. Doris had
! gotten a job in a department store
and had found another girl to room
with. Stan was playing the violin
/ in a Well-knoWn dance orchestra in
Boston. But Jen had received no
word from him.
Il guess you were right, Jen, "
/ Mark had said, "he don't belong
here"
And Jen had nodded. But she
! could not understand it. Stan had
i seemed so true, so understanding
And yet he had gone off. Gone off
without so much as saying goodbye
! 1t was difficult for her to believe.
She had hoped that their love
would ripen. Had she made a mis-
take in expecting too much? Had
she treasured and cherished loves
harvesting SO deeply that she had
made it unobtaiuable?
Perhaps she should not have held
out FOR such complete assurance
that Stan belonged" there on the
farm. Doris was shallow and
fllghty-and yet in a sense she had
| been shrewder than Jen. But then
Doris had very little pride. She
| debased herself to get away from
the farm, She played on STAINS
good nature. And she deceived the
! whole family by saying that Stan
was going to marry her.
Oh, how Jen had suffered those
first few Weeksl Not a word from
either of them-until at last a
| letter came from Doris saying that
she was only fooling about STAINS
marrying her She said she felt
she had to tell them that or they
wouldn't have let her go. Well,
Jen forgave her. She wanted some
thing and she got it. And because
she wasn't a strong character she
had only used what means she could
find at hand. That was under
| standable.
But Stan. Why had he not
written? Why had he not given
her some little word of hope that
she could hang on to? What was
there left for her now? The farm
and the family, to be sure. But
Stan had given her q vision of
something fuller and finer, some
thing that would truly enrich the
blessings of life and add to the
| elemental worth of living. Chill

of their own. Oh, why, why, had
he not given her some one little
word? There were nights in bed
alone when she cried out for him
would have done anything just to
look into his eyes and feel the
touch of his rough sturdy hand
on her cheeks and hear the sound
of his deep, strong voice in her
ear.
And as she was out in the yard
one afternoon, getting a breath of
air after having been in the kitchen
all day, she saw in the distance, a
wagon, winding over the hill. Near
er and nearer it came. 1t was a
wagon she had not seen before. A
man was perched up on the front
seat, leaning slightly forward. She
strained her eyes, trying to make
out who the man was.
Suddenly, she saw him wave.
Her heart came to her throat and
tears filled her eyes.
1t was Stan. Stan, whom she
loved with all her heart and soul
Stan, for whom she had been wait
ing :. waiting waiting
In rush of ecstatic happiness
she waved back and ran out to
meet him.
"Oh, my darling, my own darl-
ing child" he said as he took her
in his arms.
stan! Stan!" she wept. Z
And in that moment there was
no fear, no doubt, no anxiety, but
an abundant outward flowing, one
to the other, each to each. They

sure fulfillment.

FARM BUREAU
TO CONTINUE
TAX BATTLE

The American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton is continuing its fight seek
ing the elimination of tax exempt
securities. Word to this effect has
lust been received by the Imperial
County Farm bureau from Washing
ton.
Many resolutions have been in
troduced in congress for a constitu-
tional amendment eliminating tax
free bonds. They are now being
considered by the house judiciary
committee. For IS years the feder-
alton has advocated this principle
in tax matters. Moving in its sup
port Chester H. Gray has filed
with the committee a recommends
ton that future issues Of federal
, securities be subject TO taxation. II
also urges that the same principle
be extended TO state, county and
municipal issues insofar as the fed
eral government can influence the
/ issues of smaller taxing units. This
/ recommendation made no reference
! TO tax free securities already is
sued. 1t is estimated that these
aggregate at this time $4,000 o00,-
+ 600.
The resolution Of the last annual
meeting says: I'VE believe that the
exemption Of securities from the in
come tax affords opportunity for
wealth TO escape proper taxation;
that the public loses far more in
revenue than its gain through great
er ease Of marketing tax exempt Sc
curities. We recommend that every
practicable effort be made TO end
as soon as possible, this opportu-
nifty to escape taxation.
