Between guzzles out of a bottle

like a hard-driven mule.

Hoffman, cuts in: Don't be

we need the dough-"
no." insists Max, "I'll raise
cattle and settle down before 1

you're that right now. I
suppose you think 10000 will
pay to see you punch cattle"
sneers a sport scribe.
Max grinS sheepishly.
II busted my hands in the
third round. Look, amt they
busted, dOc?"
His personal physician, Dr.
o. K. Parry, of Asbury Park,
N. j., examines the hands.
"Why no, Max" says the
doctor. "YOur hands are not
broken, just bruised a little"
Baer snarls at the doctor.
"WeII, know damn well
I couldn't punch with them.
No, I have no kick on the de-
cision. 1 knew 1 wasn't going

round 1 hoped he'd make more
dough out of the title than I
had. After all, he's got a

"Well, not exactly" he

BRADDOCK WIN
CHEERSGARDEN

NEW YORK, June 14.-Need-
less to say, Jimmy Braddock's
amazing victory over Max Baer
at the Madison Square Garden
Bowl, last night, was highly popu-
lar with the powers-that-be in the
Madison Square Garden Corpora
ton, promoter of the battle.
Braddock's ascent to the heavy
weight throne means that the Gar
den will continue to exercise pro-
motorial control over the cham
pionship. In his contract with
the Garden, Braddock agreed to
defend his title only under its
auspices if he defeated Baer.
Baer, on the other hand, declared
in no uncertain language that he
would never again fight for the
Garden because of his bitter feud
with Jimmy Johnston, Garden
matchmaker.
However, Mike Jacobs, milk
fund promoter, was around today
with the news that he has Brad
dock signed to an agreement to
fight the winner of the Primo Car
nera-Joe Louis match.

bakery. Crisfield, visited Pocomoke
on Monday last, and handed the local
National Guard quint nice little de-
feat by the score of IS to rs.
Figuring largely in the victory were
several long distance shots which went
into the basket, hardly disturbing the
cords. While the player nuts be Civ
en- every credit for these scores, yet
they are more or less, accidental and
are attempted only as daring efforts
in a close game when play time is
growing short. The visitors showed
all-around superiority, however, over
the locals, and deserved their victory
Pocomoke got some consolation from
the defeat in having the top scorer
of the evening-Colie Miller, forward
He scored 10 points Of his teams 20

SOIL TESTING
APPOINTMENTS
FOR PLANTERS
Meeting In POcOmOke Next Tues
day To Be Held In Glad
ding's Garage

The soil testing meetings which
were postponed several weeks ago on
account of the weather, will be held
the coming week as follows: POGO
moke, Tuesday, February 26th, 9 a.
m.,-5 p. m.-Gladding's Garage.
Marion-Wednesday, February 9th,
a. m. to 1890 P. M, Woodlands
Garage. Princess Anne, Wednesday,
February 9th, 1 80 p. m. to 5 p. m.
at the Courthouse.
The farmers are showing consider
able interest in having their soil
tested for lime requirement and a
number Of samples have been brought
to the office of the County Agent and
will be tested at the meetings.
1t is suggested that the soil sam
Piles be taken as soon as possible, in
order to avoid the chance of the ground
being frozen at the time of the meet
ing.
The samples should be allowed to
dry without heating in the oven to
drive off moisture. The samples
should be numbered and record kept
so that you will know which field or
which part of the field the sample
represents.
Soil samples to be representative
should be taken from different places
in the field.
Proceed as follows:-Dig hole full
depth of pillow layer, place slice from
side of hole in a pail, repeat several
times and mix thoroughly together.
One half pint sample should be taken
to the meeting.
It is of the greatest Importance
that you know your soil, it's fertility
and condition as to those elements
which are needed for plant growth.
One of the most important factors to
consider is the acidity of the soil. It
has been shown that soils that become
too acid will prevent the crop from
obtaining the full benefit of the fer
tilizer and will often cause lower
Yields.

dividual parents will have to pay for
the transportation of their children.
1t is the opinion of the superintendent
that children should not be deprived
of a high school education just be-
cause they live at some distance from
a high school.
In some schools classes are so large,
due to the reduced teaching staff, that
the efficiency Of the instruction is
greatly reduced. The superintendent
feel that this should be remedied.
. There will, no doubt, be legislation
concerning these topics. Watch the
proceedings of the legislature and let
your representatives know how you
feel about the problems that confront
them.

THE PRESIDENT
SPEAKS TO THE
SHORE SCOUTS
Delaware And Maryland Scouts
Celebrat Twenty-Fifth
Anniversary
NATIONAL JAMBOREE IN
WASHINGTON, AUGUST

More than a thousand Boy Scouts
on the Peninsula listened eagerly to
the message of their Honorary Chief
Scout some time ago, as President
Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke via a
national radio hook-up to the Boy
Scouts of the country. 81 hope the
people who are listening to my voice
will give careful heed to the Scout
OATH" said Mr.. Roosevelt. "It is the
basis of good government; it is the
basis of orderly progress for our
country in the years to come"
No spectacular assemblage of Boy
Scouts such as the vast mobilization
in New York, st. Louis, and other
metropolitan centers marked the gath
ering of the Delaware and Eastern
Shore Boy Scouts, but in every one
of the fifty troop meeting places OF
the Area, Scouts gathered with their
leaders to hear the voice Of their
President. It marked the opening of
the National Celebration of the Twen-
ty-Fifth Birthday of Scouting in
America.
President Roosevelt has been active
ly identified with Scouts for the past
fourteen years, and knows at first
hand the contribution which the Boy
Scout Movement is making to the
youth of the Country when he says,
as he did in Fridays message, every
Scout seeks to do a good turn daily
every troop seeks to accomplish some
community benefit; and occasionally,
as last year, Scouts everywhere unite
to do good turn nationally. A year
ago, as your honorary President, I
started the national Scout effort to
collect household furnishings and
clothing and other supplies for those
in need; and the results were truly
amazing. Hundreds of thousands of
families were helped by the Boy
Scouts.
Several years ago, just before tax
ing office as Governor of New York,
with several other leading New York
ers he helped to initiate movement
to provide the Boy Scouts Of Greater
New York with adequate camping
facilities. Under his skillful leader
ship, tract of 10000 acres was pur-
chased in Sullivan County, New York,
and the Ten Mile River camps, the
largest boys encampment in the world
was launched. Almost every year,
when exigencies of official duties per-
nit, the President pays visit to the
thousands of Scouts in camp there.
AS President of the United States,
Mr.. Roosevelt also serves as Honor
airy President of the Boy Scouts OF
America, a post held by each of his
predecessors in office since the Boy
Scouts of America was founded twen-
ty-five years ago.
In his national address last week,
the President announced the great
forthcoming National Scout Jamboree
of the Boy Scouts of America to be
held in Washington, D. c., from Aug
ust 21st to Both which will bring to-
gether 10000 Scouts in the greatest
boys camp program in American his
