THIEVES OPERATING
IN POCOMOKE CITY

A good deal of petty thieving seems
to be the condition in Pocomoke and
vicinity. The Groton Soda Parlor on
Market Street was entered from the
rear on Wednesday night and about
$25 worth of goods stolen, consisting
of cigarettes, cigars and other articles
Recently the Merrill Brothers store
was burglarized, and several reports
have been made of nearby filling sta
tons sustaining losses of tires, tubes,
and other accessories.
No clues have been unearthed as to
the thieves, but it would be well for
the police to add vigilance tho it is
extremely hard for one night watch
man to protect the town from such
petty stealings.

RASKOB ESTATE
OPENS GATEWAY
TO TWO STATES
Invitation Extended To Maryland
And Delaware Farmers
From Maryland Shore
ENTERTAINMENT DATED
FOR THURSDAY, AUG s

Pioneer Point Farms, the beautiful
estate of Mrs. John J. Raskob at Cen
treville, Maryland, will open it's gates
to the farm people of two states on
Thursday, August 8, in the staging of
Maryland and Delaware Farmers
Day. Farmers from both shores of
Maryland and the three counties of
Delaware are invited. Arrangements
are based upon attendance estimates
of two thousand people.
Farmers Day at Pioneer Point is
intended to commemorate the tenth
birthday of the farm. Originally pur-
chased in 1925 as five farms, the es-
tate has been consolidated into sin
gle unit of eighteen hundred acres
and is said to be one of the most COM
pletely equipped and thoroughly or
ganized farms in Maryland. 1t is op-
Grated by Mrs. Raskob for the pro-
duction of milk, grain, seeds, feeds,
racing colts, hogs and poultry.
Farm families attending the event
are invited to bring picnic lunches.
Box lunches and other refreshments
will be served by the local American
Legion.
All departments of the estate will be
open to the public and special efforts
made to acquaint guests with any
phase of operations in which they may
be interested. Various demonstra-
lions Of machine farming will be in
cluded in program lasting from elev-
en- until five.
Early and late ferries from and to
Annapolis will afford Western Shore
farmers ample time for the entire day
at Pioneer Point.
This event has been arranged as a
medium through which the farm peo-
pie of Maryland and Delaware may
come together for an exchange of
ideas to their mutual advantage. 1t is
hoped that during their visit to the
farm they may become better acquaint
ed with the owner and with each 9TH
er.

into THE DEATH
OF CHAS. Pussy
Police Have Been Busy Lately
Securing Testimony On
Apparent Murder

Some little stir has been going on
in police circles for the past few days,
in connection with efforts to clear up
the death of Charles Pusey.
It will be remembered that Mr..
Pusey was found dead by the road
side, almost in front of the residence
of Mr.. Woodland Merrill, on the Pitts
Creek road. The dead man revealed
severe wounds on the head, and there
was no mistaking the fact that he had
been roughly dealt with.
Whether he had been struck by a
passing car while he was sitting on
the concrete highway; or whether he
had been murdered at the spot where
he was found or elsewhere and carried
there to die, could not be determined.
The coroner's jury was not able to
determine the agency of his death.
Public opinion has been almost uni
versal that Mr.. Pusey had been MUIR
dered. Within the past week some
developments have taken place as the
results of detective work since Mr..
Pusey's death. Hearings have been
held for the purpose of gaining some
evidence on the case; witnesses have
been examined; and trip was made
to Baltimore this week to which city,
witnesses were carried.
Some secrecy has surrounded the
movements of those who are investi-
eating, and it has been difficult to OBJ
tain details. So far as can be learned,
no one, as yet, has been held charged
with deed. Those summoned on the
affair, are at large, and, up to this
writing, the public has no information
of substantial character.

POTATO WAR
YET VIGOROUSLY
in EVIDENCE
Prices Drop From $2.1O To $1.6O
Per Barrel, Due To Sew
eral Causes
POTATOES MOVE SLOWLY
AND DANGERS MULTIPLY

The concerted action of the farm
ers of the Eastern Shore of Virginia
to obtain fair price for their po-
tato crop succeeded for awhile in re-
turning to the growers the sum of
$21O per barrel. That price, at this
writing Wednesday, has been slashed
to SLIGO.
Several contributing causes have
brought this about. One is the pill
ing up Of demurrage. Hundreds of
cars are standing on the tracks, ready
for shipment but awaiting demanded
prices, which, evidently, the buyers
refused to give.
Then, again, thousands of barrels
are harvested and standing in the
fields in barrels. The recent rains
threaten these with loss by rotting.
Furthermore, crops in states to the
north are about ready for digging,
and there does not seem to be any in
dication Of Long Island, New Jersey
and Pennsylvania cooperation in the
way of holding back shipment until
the Maryland-Virginia crop is dis
posed of.
In other sections, too, crops were
sold while the local strike was on, and
the sellers benefited by combination
in these parts. The situation forced a
sale at lower price than set by the
Marylanders and Virginians, and
much of the restrictions, notably in
the way of picketing was removed. It
was impossible to sell the crop as was
shown by the number of cars moving
this week; only 20, as compared with
900 or 400 heretofore.
The Governments aid in the way
of an allotment of $350,O00 from the
funds of the Emergency Surplus Cor
poration, has brought some relief.
Purchase by the Government will con-
tinue until July 27, and the money ap-
propriated will be sufficient to buy
about one fifth the crop.
The growers here seem to be be-
tween the devil and the deep blue sea.
with refusal to buy coming from the
buyers and difficulties arising from
demurrages, competition crops, lack Of
cooperation, and actual exploitation
of the local disabilities, have been ter
rible handicaps to fight, and, at the
best, there is doubtful victory.
1t is hard to secure universal CO.
operation of potato growers. Agree
ments seem to be easily broken, and
good faith is hard to acquire. The
strikers here have had the sympathy
of everybody, and it is hoped there
will accrue future benefits.

TEN-DOLLAR COUNTERFEIT
BILLS Are in CIRCULATION

The public is advised to be on the
lookout for counterfeit $40 and $40
bills which have appeared on the
Shore. The first complaint came from
Ocean City; manager Frank Truitt of
the Ocean City Bank, being the suf-
ferer.
The bill bore the name of the Cleve-
land Federal Reserve Bank, as issuer,
with the letter tx" in the lower
right hand corner. Suspicion was
aroused by the heavy ink impression
and the ragged" character Of parts
of the printing.
Federal men are on the Shore in an
effort to trace the source of the bogus
money as it is reported similar bills
have turned up in other banks on the
Shore.

ty-Seventh
PONY-PENNING DATED
FOR THURSDAY, JULY rs

The eleventh ChlncOteague annual
firemen's carnival opened on Wednes-

people not only from Chincoteague
but from the mainland as well. The
firemen are expecting larger crowds
each evening with the climax on
Thursday, July 25th, when the annual
pony penning and home coming are

each year as one of the biggest events
on the Eastern Shore and this year
the firemen have made arrangements
to surpass former pony pennings in
attractions.
These carnivals are always full of
amusements of all kinds and descrip-
tions. The firemen are wide awake
and know how to get attractions that
the public wants. They have rem
dered the Island and northern Acco-
mack a great service in providing fire
protection and the public is always
ready and willing to help them when
they announce that they are staging
their carnival.
The big pony round up takes place
Thursday morning, July 25th from 6
to 8 a. m. At this time the ponies
will be driven into the pens in the
center of town and those not sold
during the day will be branded and
turned out to await the arrival of
another pony penning. At II a. m.

chance to display their riding skill
with prizes to the persons able to con-
quer one of these wild ponies which

going several hundred miles to see.
Cups will be awarded the winners in
these events by Commander c. j.
Sullivan.
Sound equipment will be installed
so that the winners can be announced.
The Fox movie tone has notified the
firemen that it will send down it's
camera men to take pictures of the
