they devote full time to their own
farms. Farm laborers should register
if they are unemployed or partly un-
employed, able to work, and want
work.
AS said above, this census will start
on Tuesday next, when the cards will
be delivered. This is an extremely
important matter to the unemployed.
If the process is not fully understood,
either Mayor E. w. Ross, or Postmas-
ter E. E. Matthews stand ready to
advise. The census ends on November
20. Those interested should not fail
to abide by the provisions in order to
join the ranks of the employed.

ed in the business of buying, selling
or transporting poultry, are required
to obtain licenses under law enact
ed by the last Maryland Legislature,
according to S. B. Shaw, Chief of the
Maryland State Department of Mar
kets.
This act was sponsored by the Mary
land State Poultry Council and is de-
signed to protect and benefit poultry
producers of the State without dis
turbing the regular channels through
which poultry has usually been mar
keted.
The law makes it the duty Of the
State Board of Agriculture to acquaint
and advise, in so far as may be pos
sible, all persons, firms, or corpora
tions, whether producers, distributors,
or otherwise, who may be engaged in
the transportation of poultry, as to the
provisions of this law. Through its
State Departments of Markets, it is
charged with the responsibility of is
suing the required licenses, and with
furnishing licenses with certified cop
les of such licenses and the necessary
license plates to be affixed to the We
hicle in which poultry is being trans
ported. Enforcement of the law is
vested in State, county, city and town
police or peace officers.
This new law, with rules and regu-
lations covering the part which is un-
der the jurisdiction of the State Board
of Agriculture, has been published by
the University of Maryland Extension
Service in Circular No. 1913, copies Of
which may be had upon request to
your County Agent, or by writing to
the University at College Park.

A fire which broke out in the base
ment of the Mock Building on North
Division Street, Salisbury, Sunday af-
ternoon, was subdued after ten hours
of fire fighting. The first floor of
the building caved in during the night

ried out by firemen. Four other oc-
cupants Of the floor escaped.
The fire broke out near the furnace
and rapidly spread to dead space be-
low the floor where firemen could not
reach it. Several members of the fire
department received minor cuts OF

falling through a hole in the floor.
The damage is estimated between
$4,000 and $4,000. The building is

his brain was on the road to such a
condition before he started, and that
made him leave-nobody in his right
mind would leave Pocomoke to take
up his abode in the woods unless he
was temporarily mentally aberrant
This is proven by his fairy tale Of
digging up Spanish coins in the sand
hills of Worcester. I notice he didn't
pay for his subscription with that

The only hope I can figure out fol

to allow my gubernatorial aspirations
to fade away into oblivion. She said,

her encouragement very dependable
