Secretary Goodson Furnishes
Authority For Ballots On
Presentation Of Receipts
CERTIFICATES GIVEN OUT

Due to the fact that records at
the irrigation district offices were
not complete, much confusion ac-
companied the casting of ballots in
the election held throughout the
district today.
"The records as kept in the as
SCISSOR collector IS office were in
complete and not in accordance
with those in the county court
house relative to property owner
ship w. w Goodson, district Sec
retary stated early this afternoon
in explaining the confusion which
kept him and staff of assistants
busily engaged in looking up records
and signing certificates allowing
persons to vote whose right had
been challenged at the polls.
BY mid afternoon As of these spe-
cjal certificates had been issued
from the secretary's office address,
ed to the election officers of differ
ent district precincts so that the
holders might be allowed to cast
their vote.
Goodson stated further that 9TH
er reasons for the confusion were
that some persons had their names
signed one way on the district
books and in another manner on
those of the county which made it
extremely difficult for officials to
determine the identity of the voter
in question. Again it was pointed
out that many persons forgot that
one of the prime requisites for vot-
ing in today's election was that the
name of the intending voter was on
the county great register and also
that he or she had voted at either
the property qualification bill rela-
last year.

Plenty Of Labor
For Pea Fields

There are more than enough
workmen for the pea harvesting in
the north end of the valley, Cap
tain w. N. Cunningham, federal
labor agent stated this morning. He
issued warning against other
workers going to the pea fields in
earch of work as it cannot be OBJ
tanned.
With a small harvest this season
and plenty of men available to dc
the work there is no necessity for
others to seek employment there,
Cunningham said.

flying out of New York and
Washington with every princi-
pal newspaper to read, all the
high-grade editorials and all the
news from Washington.
This evening as 1 have to send
my message, I am at a little
railroad division point and real
COW town out in Arizona. No
paper, no editorials, but just to
talk to these old boys beats all
your New York dailies, all your
learned editorials. They want
no part of Europe. They think
our markets are at home. They
want to see our country pay its

TOMATO SLUMP
IN MARYLAND
Drop From II to s Cents
Causes Near Riot at
ChestertOwn, Md.
SHERIFF GOES TO SCENE

Last week was a hectic week in
the tomato market over at Ches-
tertown, Md AS low as 8 cents
was paid for red, ripe tomatoes
and the finest ever seen. Kibler
Bros. on Wednesday purchased
over 10000 baskets and sent to
Baltimore six loaded boats, the
largest days shipment in the his
tory of this firm. Capt. Cooper
also bought some and Metcalfe
Bros. and a few for Campbell. At
Buck Neck, Rock Hall, Still Pond
and elsewhere large quantities
were shipped, the prevailing price
being 8 and 10 cents. Sheriff John
N. Bennett was called twice Wed
nesday to unravel contentious, as
farmers, angered and worried by
falling tomato prices, argued
among themselves. Sentiment was
strong among some growers to
picket roads leading to markets
here, and prevent the sale of to-
matoes until the price rises. AT
Chestertown, Md, a farmer from
across the river stopped his truck
and refused to mrve it unless paid
more than 8 cents per basket.
Other truckers lined up behind be-
came impatient and free-for-all
trouble was brewing rapidly when
Sheriff Bennett arrived and took
things in hand. The Sheriff was
called again in a few hours at an
other point of shipment when a
band of farmers decided it would
be more profitable to leave the to-
matoes in the fields, and attempted
to persuade other growers to join
them. Some of the growers agreed
and drove away without unloading
Others sold their, produce. Sheriff
Bennett restored order without
serious damage being inflicted or
anyone being injured. Housewives
have taken advantage of the low
prices and are buying large stocks
for preserving purposes. A farm
er, near Rock Hall, has a field of
Is acres which he is plowing under
rather than submit to 8 cent to-
matoes. Scores of others have dis
continued picking until the market
improves. Farmers about Still
Pond and Lynch are delighted with
their 20 cent contracts to local
canneries. The market has i'm
proved at this writing and II
cents is being paid. New buyers
are arriving and a better outlook
prevails. At Kennedyville and
Turner's Creek the farmers agreed
to refuse to pick tomatoes until
Monday.

AMERICAN TYPE
BEAUTY COMING
Experts See Gradual Disap-
pearance of Blue-Eyed
Blends
DARK AMERICAN TYPES

MinneapOlis.-If gentlemen of the
future will still prefer blonds they
may have a difficult time to find
them in the United States. So be
lieves Prof. Albert E. jerks, an
thropologist of the University of
Minnesota.
"Our first group Of immigrants
included British, Germans, and
Scandinavians-tall and blond"
says Professor jerks. Our later
arrivals included the short and more
heavily pigmented groups from
southern Europe. These different
groups have intermarried and the
result will be typical American
race-fairly tall, dark haired, dark
eyed, and darker skinned than the
present average"
In time, doubtless, will evolve
a distinct American type-a compos-
lite of several principal strains.
Whether the eventual type will be
as Professor jerks predicts can be
answered only by time. The history
of other nations can be cited in sup
port Of the blending processes.
In the year 1776 the population OF
the United States was 2.500,G0.
mostly English. but with smat-
tering of other racial groups. In
1890 the population was 122, ,TT5, ,046.
This growth was phenomenal, al
most 50-fOld In less than 200 years,
with the biggest gain. 47,OOO.OOO
from 1900.
This meant immigration from
countries other than the old con-
tributors. and today, while the old
solid, native American strains still
predominant, the foreign groups are
far from being small minority
This is shown in the complexion OF
the nations several thousand coun
ties. Before 1870 they were almost
100 per cent homogeneous. Today
they are only one-third homo
geneous.
The 1890 census showed the larg
est German groups in this order
German, Italian, English, Scottish
Welsh and North Irish, Polish
Canadian, Free State Irish, Swe
dish, Slavish, Norwegian. Austrian
and Hungarian.
Year by year intermarriagt

WILLIAM WOOD
The Smyrna Grange at their last
regular meeting, passed a set OF
resolutions on the death of Will
liam Wood. The committee ap-
pointed to draft these was compos-
ed of A. l.. Hudson, j. T. Truax,
Thomas Kirby. A similar move
was made by the Good Templers of
Smyrna, the committee being Will
liam B. Start, E. Gilbert. Mrs.
Maggie H. Roe and Herman Roe.
The funeral of William Wood
(the notice of whose death was
given in our last issue) was very
largely attended on Friday last. Mr..
Woodhad been living in this Sec
tion but four or five years but in
this time he demonstrated the fact
that he was possessed of the high
est qualities of god citizenship, and
hence the eagerness of his neigh
bors to show their respect for him
and sympathy for his family. The
Rev. ]. B. Quigg who pronounced
the funeral discourse was atten-
lively listened to as he set forth
the virtues of an honest and hon
orable life.
