my OWN STORY"
By Marie Dressler

to play well-and there's no age
limit.
Never be jealous Of the man
higher up-the star Of your or
ganization-your bit can stand
out, too, and may lead to some
thing better.
Many people in all walks Of
life work industriously in small
parts for a certain length OF
time without murmuring and
then because they are not no.
ticed when they feel the reward
is due they kick over the traces
just as they are spotted for pro,
motion.
Then they lose out entirely
and blame their plight on bad
luck, woofing that the world is
against them, when in reality
they simply aren't stickers.
Whale bait is courage, hard
work, friendlinesS, cooperation
and patience. With these the
whale will ultimately land at
your feet. My whale has been
washed up at last and with your
help I am now eating him.

RAISING AREA

Into the offices Of real estate agen-

sula are pouring steady streams Of
inquiries from prospective farm buy
ers in many sections Of the country,
who have been attracted by the ma

Chrysler, internationally famous mo-
tor magnate, and Colonel Albanus
Phillips, President Of the Phillips

Associated Press dispatches, maya

QUEEN ANNE BOASTS
BEST HERDS OF CATTLE

Queen Anne's County's two herds
of Aberdeen-Angus beef cattle are
rated the finest herds in the state Of
Maryland and their owners, M. G.
Sherman, Of BENEFITS Point Farms
at Queenstown; and w. 8. Stowell,
Of Spring Grove Farm, Centreville
have each won recognition with their
pure-bred herds.
The Bennett Point Farm herd num-
bers one hundred head Of the steers
while that at Spring Cove Farm con-
tains twenty. The Aberdeen Angus
herd has won wide recognition on the
Eastern Shore and many good pure
bred herds have been established.
The steers are black in color and
have no horns. They are bred pri-
marily for beef and their admirers
claim for them the ability to put on
more pounds of high quality beef, on
q given amount Of food, than any 9TH
err herd.
Steers from the Benefits Point
herd were shown recently at the an
nual show Of the Maryland Aberdeen
Angus Association.

are requesting information about the
availability Of farm tracts in differ
ent sections of the peninsula.
The most important peninsula farm
sale Of the last few days was the pur-
chase of historic and picturesque
"Blakeford," in Queen Anne's county,
by George M. Moffett, President of
the Corn Products Refining Company,
New York. The old colonial estate
contains over $50 acres and the pur-
chase price was above the 100000
mark.
Early last summer Mr.. Chrysler
and Col Phillips entered into friend
ly contest under the terms of which
Mr.. Chrysler agreed to entertain the
Cambridge soup and vegetable packer
at a terrapin dinner if he failed to
produce ten tons Of tomatoes to the
acre. Col. Phillips agreed to pro-
vide the diamond back feast if Mr..
Chrysler succeeded. Figures compiled
recently by the Maryland Ten Ton
Tomato Club disclosed that Mr.. Chrys-
Ter grew 9.05 tons to the acre, missing
the goal by the scant margin Of less
than a ton.
In the news stories appearing in
publications throughout the country,
the fact was stressed that the Del
Mar-Va peninsula is one of the largest
tomato producing areas in the world,
and this has served to whet the inter-
est Of thousands of prospective farm
buyers in many parts Of the country.

CAROLINA COUNTY CLAIMS
MOST CHURCH SUPPERS

In the matter of church suppers,
Caroline county yields precedence to
no community, neither in Virginia,
whence came recent challenges, nor
any other states. It considers itself
prominent in that respect, at least.
Although they are movable feast,
likely to spring up whenever and,
wherever parsonage needs a new
roof, a missionary fund needs replen-
ishing or some ambitious youth desires
a college or theological education, they
occur with most frequncy in the fall
just before election. So prevalent were
such suppers during the recent poll
tical campaign that candidates felt
obliged to travel from one end Of the
county to the other, at times, eating
as many as 8 suppers the same even
ing, lest they lose the good will Of
the sponsors Of the suppers.
One candidate paid five dollars for
each church supper he attended dur
ing the campaign, it is said, although
the regular price was usually 80 cents.
Following one supper, a Democrat
ic political meeting was staged with
orators to inject fervor into the cam
paign. One politician estimated that
the sum total of all the meals he ate
in every town and village of the coun-
ty neither added nor subtracted one
vote, although they were mathema-
tically adding to his weight and sub
tracing from his purse.
Upon members of the Ladies' Aid
Societies fall much of the soliciting
for food, the sale of tickets, the cook
ing, serving and dishwashing Incl
dent to taese suppers. Turkey, chick
on salad or ham and oysters are the
old reliable favorites.
