O. NJ. LITTLETON
STRICKEN MONDAY

Mr.. o. M. Littleton, a well-known
business man of this city, was strick.
en- on Monday last and at present is
in quite serious condition.
Mr.. Littleton had been in the coun-
try and was returning in Deputy
Sheriff Hillman's car, the machine
having been borrowed for the trip
When opposite Carmel Wilson's store
the stroke came and he fell across the
wheel. Mr.. Hillman soon arrived on
the scene and carried Mr.. Littleton
home.
The entire right side of the strick-
en- man is affected and his vocal or
gans are also paralyzed. His condit-
ion is of much concern to his family
and friends, and all are hoping rapid
improvement may soon develop.

ANOTHER FISH STORY
COMES FROM NORFOLK

Another big fish story comes from
Norfolk. 1t tells of a certain Mr.
Winslow who was fishing at Ocean
View. He pulled up a "Croaker"
more Familiarity known in these parts
as a "hard head", and was surprised
and gratified to find a five dollar
bill in it's mouth.
The account doesn't say whether Mr.
Winslow baited his hook with the mon
ey or not; but the cash couldn't have
been in the water very long before
it would have been reduced to it's orr
ginal mash. But Mr.. Winslow claims
to have two witnesses to the catch
He did not say whether they saw
the hook when it was baited.
Fishes are not the only animals that
would grab at five dollar bill. In
these times this would be very tempt
ing bait, and 1 am sure there are hu-
mans who would gladly have the op-
portunity to get it, no matter just how
it was offered.

OCEAN CITY ATHLETIC
CLUB'SPROCRAM TONIGHT

The Ocean City Athletic Club will
stage weekly boxing bouts on Friday
nights, and the second one will take
place tonight friday at $3.50 o'clock.
There will be thirty rounds of boxing.
One of the set-tos features Reddy
Shreaves in a Ground go with a Bal
timore lad by the name Of Harry
Groves. Freddy" is well known here
since he was a star performer in the
local arena when it was in full blast.
If he has retained his proves as a
hitter, Groves will have to be good to
best him.
Another Eastern Shore boy goes six
rounds with Sam Baccala, another Bal
timorean. Henry Gonzales, of Better
ton is the Kent Countian. One of the
fighting Cosdens hooks up with Dud-
ley Bedford, of Centreville, and these
home boys should draw from the
standpoint of local interest.
The main bout is a 10 rounder be-
tween two city chaps of some repu-
tation. Jim Tramberia fights Angelo
Nicola both of Baltimore. One is from
East Baltimore, the other from West
Baltimore, so the ego" is what might
be called a natural.

think one would not support their
state school. Why should you be
looking for good news from Western
Maryland? Are you not interested
in the upbuilding of the school which
you help support thru taxation. Isn't
it part Of your duty as well as that
of every Maryland citizen to do all in
their power toward making our uni
versity run in harmony.
Why call our fellow men across the
water barbarians, and hope that our
culture will some day penetrate their
soil via the bay bridge, if built?
Would the State not benefit more read
lily if the newspapers did not open
cid sores, and the Eastern and West
ern Shore pushed forward shoulder to
shoulder.
The newspaper greatly influences
public opinion thru its prejudice. Give
the layman both sides of every dis
puted question. Do not influence him
by your own personal concepts. It is
for that reason wrote these few SEN
fences. Every question has two sides.
One side is right, the other wrong.
Give the facts for both, but let the in
dividual choose his own side of the
fence.

FLAX GROWING IS
INTERESTING FARMERS

Farmers of the Eastern Shore are
interested in a new crop-the grow
ing of flax for paper use.
According to G. Walter Mapp, farm
ers hope to get as much as 500 ton
for the product if attempts to grow
it prove successful. Two thousand
acres of farms in Accomack and Nor
Hampton Counties have been contract
ed for by the American Tobacco at
the rate of 500 per ton, and the Cham
payne Paper Company has contracted
for $50 acres.
According to Mr.. Mapp flax can be
grown here of a quality that would
justify 500 ton.

Dear Sir:
Please allow me space in your paper
to congratulate the Eastern Shore
farmers in the way they did on June
26 and 9th by not shipping any more
white potatoes unless they get $500
per barrel or more; had they not taken
this step, they would not be getting
over 75c per barrel for them today.
I hope you good people of Worcester
and Somerset will join them in this
movement; if you will, there is no
reason why you should not get what
you ask for in reason-a living price
for your potatoes.
The Trade, both wholesalers and
jobbers, tell me they have been too
cheap. Cooperate and stick together
as every potato section in the country
is watching you with keen eye. So
stick together; Don't be cutters; be
go-getters; cooperate; and you will
have done the best days work you
ever did.
So don't lay down on the job; if you
do you need never try again; this is
your best and only chance; so get to-
gether, cooperate; Don't cut the price;
and you will see results.
Yours truly,
w. T. Gladding,

To the Inscriber of "Chirps"
Sir:
Why do most editors and newspaper
men in general nearly always, would
not be over exaggerating in saying
always, write from prejudiced view
point?
During our little mimic "war" down
here on the shore in '33 every county
newspaper around dealt with the SUBJ
ject thru biased thoughts. Why not
give both sides of every disputed ques-
ton? Were the people right or
wrong in breaking a Commandment
and state law by lynching negro,
and causing general uprising? Was
former Governor Richie right or
wrong in sending armed men down
here to quell the disorder? Do you
believe, or do you not believe he would
have done the same if the Western
Shore had acted as we did? Here are
a few questions to answer them from
all angles one could write many vol
umes.
Have you ever heard the old ex-
preston, "a crow can only see in one
direction?" What about newspaper
men? Can they not give their public
both sides of various controversies and
let the individual decide on which side
of the fence he desires to stand?
have laughed off many slur from
out of state boys as well as Western
Shore boys concerning our ungodly do
ing here on the Eastern Shore before
/ was graduated from University of
Maryland. Why did I, just one of the
many from our Shore away at college,
have to bear the burden of ridicuIe ?
Plainly enough, that question can be
answered. Those boys read only the
biased opinion of Western Shore news
papers. If had been attending Wash
ington College, I would have been
reading the biased opinion of Eastern
Shore newspapers and would have
heard slurs cast upon the unfortunate
men from across the bay.
That which I have just written leads
up to your prejudiced column in last
Fridays paper July 5, 1889 You
recall it concerned Mr.. Harry c. (Cur-
ley) Byrd. From your writing, I am
under the impression that you know
Mr.. Byrd only thru that which you
have read in newspapers or heard
people say. Indeed, name me an un-
biased person! Could you not have
given your readers, The Pro and Con
on Mr.. Byrd as a University Presi-
dent?" If there is personal grudge,
if so, leave it out Of your newspaper.
The public desires the truth. Why
did you not also give points in favor Of
him making desirable president, and
let the people of the State form their
own opinions? According OF my con-
cept newspaper editor, or whatnot
should straddle the fence. He would
be in no danger of falling, forces from
both sides would keep him in balance.
Have you never mentioned the
names of notable men who came from
the Eastern Shore? It so happens
that this one came from an adjoining
county, Somerset. I point with pride
to man who has climbed the ladder"

him down.
Why does college president have
to be decorate? You can probably
name our country's presidents from
the past to the present. How many
of them were doctorates? Do you
doubt that they possessed administra-
tive ability? You attempted to appeal
to your readers emotions by constant
ly using the word "Curley" when re-
ferring to Mr.. Byrd. You referred
with pride to the Doctor Pearson
Have you not heard our former Presi-
dent Lincoln referred to as "Abe? 2"
How about 'Teddy Roosevelt, candy
Jackson and others? It so happened
that DR.. Pearson's doctorates are hon
; orary. Is there any reason why Mr..
Byrd could not have one bestowed up
on him. John Smith could have the
alphabet in back Of his name and, yet,
not possess leadership. Anyhow,
what is there in name?
Suppose you were Phi D., in Agri-
culture, engineering, chemistry or
,, what not, you could then be in line for
the presiding of some university more
so than Mr.. Byrd. I suppose you
would be able "to solve a problem in
integral or differential calculus, ex-
plain conditional sentences in Latin,
Greek, or other languages, to analyze
a red spot to find out if it is the
blood of murdered man (few D. DIS
can do that, to delve deep into some
Psychological, or other logical reason
ing" Sir if all sollege presidents were
confronted with such matters they
could "easily be located" in various
asylums. 1t is absurd to think of such
thing. Would you go to lawyer
to have an operation performed?
What brings college into national
prominence? Is it always the fac
ulty and president? I should say not!
1t lies thru their athletic achievements
You name me the president of Notre
Dame, Southern California, Duke,
Yale, New York University, Columbia,
Harvard and Princeton and I will
name you the janitors of every uni
versity in Europe. What harm is
there in winning Southern Conference
championships? The more we win the
further the name of U. of M. will be
heard throughout the country. Ask
some one hundred scholars from any
eastern university if they ever heard
of DR.. Pearson. I wager ninety-nine
out of the hundred will answer mo"
Then ask if they ever heard of Mr..
Byrd. Don't blush if all hundred an
swer Eyes,"
Your column did not mention the
harvest reaped from Mr.. Byrd's SOW
ing. He has aided every achievement
undertaken for the betterment of the
university. A deteriorating school
would not increase in enrolment, nor
would it improve in appearance. En-
Tighten yourself some time by glancing
at picture of the campus in 1925 and
another as 1t appears today. Ii Mr..
Byrd was the power behind the throne
then surely he must have been instru-
mental in such changes.
l can see no reason why you should
want the school to be called Maryland
Agricultural College. Are you not
aware that DR.. Pearson holds his de-
grees in agriculture. I received a bet
ter pre-medical training there than
could have possibly acquired in many
larger universities. And above all
why should you citizen of this state
desire to have the name Maryland
dropped from the University. Is it
not a state college? 1t hurts me to

If you want to be absolutely
sure of pleasing a youngster at
Christmas, make him a calico
kitten. A bright piece of cot
ton print or velveteen, for in
stance, then a little sewing,
stuff with cotton, a touch Of
embroidery and you're done!
But you will find the finished
kitten so adorable that you
won't want to give him away!
Better make several because
school and college girls like
them as well as the children.

CROP REDUCTION
 OPPOSITE HOLDS
Soils Congress Delegate Tells How European Ma.
 tiOns Work It

While the United states govern. ment pays farmers for reducing their crops, the opposite condition holds in England and in some other Euroean countries, reports Dr. M. F. Morgan, chief agrononist at the Agricultural Experiment Sta. ton at New Haven, who has just Congress of Soil Science held al Oxford, England, in August.
 Dr. Morgan presented two papers before the Congress, made cir cult tour of the British Isles study Ing various soil types, and vsiited the great reclamation project of the Builder Zee in the eNtherlands His new method of testing soils he Universal System. attracted much attention among the 60G scientists representing 70 countriel at the Congress.
 pr. Morgan says that signs ot recovery are everywhere evident In England. The wheat farmers are receiving bounty from the British government, fruit experi- ments are going forward in the south, and the building trades are being subsidized so that in every city and hamlet small, Inexpensive houses are in the process of con- struction. He noted that the soils considered particularly fertile in England and Scotland closely resemble the red upland soils com- mon in central Connecticut.
 The reclamation project in Hol- land, by which the government ex- ~.anAa kr hst,.sk txtA tnts1tfua ffn va more than a half million acres of land, is well under way, he states. This is about equal to the total amount of arabic land in Connec. ticut. Ever since violent storms broke the natural sea barrier and flooded area about thousand years ago, the Builder Zee has been . massive body of salt wa. ter covering q large portoin of the Netherlands. With the growing industrial population Dr. Morgan returns.
 Holland suffers shortage of fresh water and of native-grown fruits and vegetables. The Builder Zee project will provide A huge fresh water lake, fertile farm lands and an outlet for surplus popula- ton.
 A colossal seawall, 20 miles long. has ben built across the inlet 10 the North Sea. Three years ago the final section of this dam was closed holding back the salt water. A ser. les of smaller dams and dikes In the former Zuider Zee protect large sectisns of land from the fresh wa. Ter streams that flow into the val lev. These reclaimed areas. called poiders, are being drained. and the salt is gradually being worked out of the soil.
