APPLICATIONS

REACH QUOTA
Two Hundred And Ninety Are
Allowed For Worcester
County Aged

At it's November meeting, the Wor-
cester County Welfare Board accept
ed ten (1O) applications for Old Age
Pensions, thus bringing the number
of active pensioners to the quota of
29O allowed for Worcester County.
There are over a hundred applica-
lions vet to be Investigated and pass
ed upon. This work will continue
until all are placed before the County
Welfare Board, but no grants beyond
the 29O will be made until after De-
cember 1886, except IA vacancies oc-
cur in the active list.
Funds for making the Old Age Pen
sion grants are obtained from the
County, State and Federal Govern
ments, the County supplying one
sixth, the State one-third, and the
Federal Government one-half of the
total. The average grant in Worces-
ter County is 1920 at present.
The County Welfare Board is car
ing for So families with 167 depend
ent children. In order to receive
such aid the needy child must be un-
der 16 years of age, one or both of
the parents must be physically or men
tally incapacitated, or absent from
the home for a long period and whose
relatives, legally responsible, are not
able to give adequate support without
public assistance.
Funds for Aid to Dependent Chill
dren are derived from the County levy
of 1c per each $4,000 of taxable
property, amounting in Worcester
County to $2,O04.O4 for the year. The
Federal Government provides one
third of the amount expended, and
the State provides the balance needed.

THE FINAL FIELD BALL EN-
COUNTER

Another page of Snow Hill High
School fieldball history was written
last Tuesday when the Wicomico High
School lassies defeated the Worcester
County champions in the first round
of the inter-county play-offs.
During the first quarter, the ma
room and black, Snow Hill, appeared
to have the edge on the visitors. A
penalty shot by C. Price, Snow Hills
outside left, gave the home team a
enc point lead over the Wicomico
champs who had as yet not scored.
In the second stanza neither team
was able to tally and the half ended,
Snow Hill leading 10.
During the rest period between
halves, several of the S. H. H. S. Soc
Ger players were seized with the very
brilliant idea of marching on the field
and giving the schools yells in most
obstreperous fashion.
This, added to the advice and in
spiration of the coach, Miss Jones, suf
feed to inject into the systems of the
girls a feeling of enthusiasm; and, at
the beginning of the third quarter,
they lined up determined to "do or
die" Shortly afterward Jeanette
Twigg, substituting at left inside for
M. Wilson, scored penalty and the
crowd went wild, for the Worcester
County team was now leading 20.
The assurance of victory was short
lived, however, as Habert, Salisbury
inside right, scored to even the count.
The home team held its own for the
remainder of the period; but, during
the fourth quarter, the combination
ceased to click and Wicomico scored
two goals. The final score was 6-2.
1t is customary for the visiting
team, in championship match, to be
entertained by the home team after
the game, so both teams filed into the
cafeteria where the Home Economic
girls had prepared refreshments which
were conspicuous both by their abun-
dance and by their quality.
Although they were defeated, it is
the conviction of many, that the Snow
Hill girls have never played a better
game.

Hay Supply Davindles to
Threaten Coast Shortage

With supplies Of Imperial Valley
hay rapidly dwindling and Los An
gcleS markets demanding more than
last year, coast dairymen face the
possibility of an acute shortage.
Further complicating the situa-
ton, alfalfa believed to contain
Johnson grass is being shipped into
California from Salt River Valley
of Arizona to make up the impend-
ing shortage. Protesting the Ariz-
ona influx, the Imperial Valley
Hay Growers association pointed out
that shipments containing Johnson
grass are contrary to California
law. The association has demanded
an immediate investigation.
Supplies of alfalfa on hand in
principal producing areas adjacent
to the Los Angeles dairy section,
which requires about 5000 tons q
week, are far below normal for
this time of year, according to Roy
Wood of the Hay Growers associ-
alton. Supplies in Antelope and
Imperial Valleys at the beginning OF
the year were about $4,000 tons,
5000 below last year, with the pros
pect of demand within the next
few months far beyond that fig
ure. The two valleys shipped H.
900 tons during January, leaving
approximately 10000 on hand, which
is barely sufficient to meet the Feb
ruary requirement.

Uniform price for milk
has been agreed upon by

A preliminary survey conducted
by Wilson B. Woodburn of the

indicating that the price of milk
in Ell Centre and Calexico was be-
lew the cost of production. In order
to compete with the price of butt
terfat at the present time and
maintain the high standard of
milk demanded by the public, it
was necessary to raise the price
and the distributors agreed upon
the scale below which is the min
il.um milk prices for Ell Centre

Milk will be sold wholesale at the
following scale: quarts, $40; pints,

Prisoners

SCOTTSBORO, Ala, Jan,
81. (UP) = Twenty Negro
convicts burned to death to-
nay in a prison truck when
gasoline stopped from a
drum onto a fire they built to
keep warm.
Only two of the convicts en-
route to a highway project escaped
the flames, which trapped them
inside the truck shutting off their
only exit, a rear door.
Two white guards on the exposed
front seat of the truck escaped. They
went to the rear of the truck, open
ed the door and urged the Negroes
to leap through the soaring flames.
Only two did so. They were burned
badly, and were taken to hospital,
apparently in dying condition. Theil
20 companions were burned in the
interior of the truck.
According to E. D. Eyester, resi-
dent highway engineer here, the
Negroes had pulled the plug from
the gasoline drum to get more fuel
to go on their fire.

.W P. Capehart, rancher, was in
Ell Centro Friday and in discussing
the plan said he and B. L. Vaughn,
the resort owner at Jacumba, and
Ed Bard are active in arousing
interest in the proposition.
Fifty per cent of the persons
owning homes in the area are said
to be Imperial. Valley residents
who go there for the summer
months. The area is rs miles from
Ell Centro and rs from San Diego
and this would mean a saving of
time in the transaction of bust
ness, Capehart said.
The area which it is proposed to
add to Imperial county is said to
contain 300 permanent residents.
During the summer, however, the
summer resident total far exceeds
the number who live there during
the year.
The plan has been discussed at
intervals for number of years,
according to Capehart, but moth
ing definite has been done prior
