Thousands of Canoes in
Great Lake Erie Battle

Thousands and thousands Of
canoes were massed together for
what might have been the first great
battle on Lake Erie.
It was fought between the Fries Of
the region south Of the lake and the
eastern tribes off the coast Of what
is now Buffalo about 1928. The Fries
and these tribes Of eastern America
despised each other.
AS the Indians were without guns,
a great deal Of the fighting was car
ried on with the canoes side by side,
where the redskins could slash each
other with tomahawks. From sto-
ries handed down through the years
to Indians Of this region, the battle
was terrific, relates H. J. Carr in
the Cleveland Plain Dealer.
The lake must have been a dull,
sickly red from the blood Of the
dead. Some canoes were upside
down, others were shattered by
tomahawk blows. Finally the Fries
won.
For about the next quarter Of q
century, five eastern tribes, the
Oneidas, Cayugas, Senecas, Onon-
dagas and Mohawks prepared for
another battle with the Fries. And
then the five tribes returned and
practically annihilated all the Erie
warriors in one great battle.

EASTERN SHORE FARMERS TO
HEAR NATIONAL FARM
LEADER

President Edward A. O'Neal of
the American Farm Bureau Fedora
ton will address a group of 1900
Eastern Shore farmers at the Sails
bury Municipal Park August 10.
O'Neal is one of the nations out
standing farm leaders and has work.
ed hard for agricultural legislation
during the past ten years. Many in
the National Congress recognize him
as militant leader and a fOrceful
and entertaining speaker.
Ample arrangements for parking
have been made and the days pro-
gram prepared by the General Com
mittee.
According to Claude Phillips
chairman of the general committee
this will be the largest Farm Bureau
gathering ever held on the Eastern
Shore. An all day program is plan
ned starting with soft ball game
between Wicomico and Worcester.
Counties at 10 A. M. At 1880 the
Wicomico All Club boys will pre-
sent "Clean Milk" demonstration.
Other features on the program in
clude a band concert, community
singing, races and swimming. The
speaking program will start at 1855
with short talks by Secretary c. e.
Wise, Jr., and President H. H. Nut
tie of the Maryland Farm Bureau
and the address of the day by Pres
ident O'Neal.
An invitation is extended to all
Maryland farmers to attend this
meeting.
If it rains on Aug. 10 the speak
ing program will be in the Salisbury
High School auditorium.

THE MARYLAND POLITICAL POT
By ENDICOTT G. RICH

Political observers concede to
cellent chance of carrying 10 or
20 of Maryland's 23 counties. Re-
ports indicate that he will make a
clean sweep of the Eastern Shore s
nine counties, of the three counties
in Central Maryland, five out of six
in Southern Maryland and two,
possibly three, counties in Western
Maryland, Mr. Lewis home district.
These counties carry enough
votes to insure the Senator's re-
denomination by wide margin. Re-
ports from the various sections of
Baltimore City indicate that he will
pick UP in them an additional %
to 35 votes.
In other words, it looks now as
though Senator Tydings will go
into the convention with twice as
many votes as Lewis can hope to
muster.
The Southern Maryland Counties
appear not to have forgotten the
benefits Senator Tydings has helped
bring to them. Five of the six
counties depend on tobacco as their
chief crop. Senator Tydings was
successful in having the Farm Bills
amended so as to give home rule
to Southern Maryland tobacco
farmers in acreage control, and
thanks to his efforts, tobacco acre
age cannot be reduced in Maryland
unless tobacco farmers vote reduc-
ton upon themselves.
Chesapeake Bay watermen are
practically united behind the Sena-
tors candidacy. Their daily work
keeps alive in their memories Tyd-
ings' efforts to promote the Seafoo1
Industry of the Chesapeake by in
ducing Virginia to prohibit the
taking of sponge crabs, by getting
for Maryland a Seafood Laboratory
with a chemist and a bacteriologist
to discover better ways in packing
seafood, and by standing back Of
owners and operators in various
measures to relieve them from harsh
regulations.

1t operates in different way. Manu-
facturers today compete not only in the
pricing of their products, but also In
the development of new products and
new uses for raw materials. The re-
suit may be even more useful to the
people as a whole than in the days
when the prices of nearly all goods
were fixed by direct bargaining in the
market.
The making of prices over large
part of industry is vastly changed from
what 1t used to be. The producer esti-
mates in advance price at which an
article can be bought by an expanding
number of people and then finds way
to turn out product within that price.
Almost everyone is aware that this
Is the way automobile prices are set,
and the study found that the three larg-
est concerns in this industry have set
the high water mark Of competition
thus far.
Today, 1t is almost impossible for So
called monopolies to keep prices I'M
duly high in order to make big profits.
Advances in physics, chemistry, and
engineering have been so great in re-
cent years that, whenever corpora
ton tries to do this, some one comes
along with satisfactory substitute at
lower price.
Previous studies made at the Brook
ings Institution indicated that the best
method of passing on to the public the
benefits of improved productive eff
cheney is by giving the consumer lower
prices.

BRITISH OBSERVE FOURTH
CENTENNIAL OF OPEN
BIBLE

This year Great Britain celebrated
an event which took place 400 years
ago, when an open Bible translated
into the English language was first
placed in every parish church in
England under the order of King
Henry VIII. The translation of the
first complete English Bible was
made by a Yorkshireman, Miles
Coverdale-a graduate of Cam
bridge-under the instruction of
Archbishop Cranmer 1t was publish
ed in 1885, three years prior to the
Kings order. The title page of the
translation states that it is truly
translated after the veryte of the
Hemrewe and Greeke texts by we
dylygent study of diverse excellent
learner men, experts in the forsayde
tongues. PRINTED by Richard Graf
ton and Edward Whitchurch.
The Kings order popularizing
the Bible was followed in 1543 by an
ordinance containing provisions for
fine and Imprisonment for it's VIOLA
ton. The ordinance reads, in part:
"***no woman (unless she be noble
or gentle woman), no arrtificers, ap-
prentices. journeymen, servingmen,
under the degree of yeomen. =. .hus-
bandmen or labourers" should use
or read any part of the Bible.
1t would appear that the ordin-
ance, however, was not issued for
the purpose of excluding all Bibles
to certain of the English popula-
ton, as it excepted Cranmer's Bible,
known as the Great Bible, which was
published in 1889.
1t should be said to the credit of
England's most maligned King that
the Importance of his act to thu
spiritual and intellectual welfare of
the English people, and consequently
to the world at large, cannot be
over-estimated. Not only did his
order bring the study of the Chris
tian religion closer to the lives of
the masses, but 1t was intrumental
in opening their minds to other lit
erature, and thus made the English
man creative in the world of let
tiers, religion, and science. 1t was
also an indirect factor in promoting
commerce, industry, and many other
phases of English life.
The celebration of the 400th an
niversary of placing an open Bible
in every parish church in England
has been observed in the schools
of the country. A syllabus Of study
was inaugurated by National
Council, some 10000 copies OF
which were in demand by public
elementary and secondary schools
soon after the celebrations began.
Also In demand was o special pam
phlet. prepared BY the London

The study did not find that the per.
centage of the nations business done
by "giant" corporations has been in
creasing. Production by such large en-
terprises comprises about 40 per cent
of the total, which is about the same
percentage as obtained q generation
ago.
Big and Little Companies Work
Together
The study shows how big and little
companies work together to the ad-
vantage Of both. Large corporations
are generally able to spend more freely
to maintain competent technical and
management stats, and these compa-
MES have usually been in the front Of
price reduction.
But smaller concerns also benefit
from this large-scale production. With
larger concerns purchasing their sup.
plies in large quantities and planning
production far in advance, smaller
companies which sell them supplies
and raw materials are In turn able to
plan production on the most economi-
cal basis. Many small concerns also
find 1t easier to borrow money from
local banks and other sources when
they have contracts with large corpo-
rations.
Operation Of industrial enterprises
at their practical capacity is necessary
IL the nation is to have maximum pro-
duction of goods, the report Of the
study says. Forward-looking price pol
icies, constantly aiming toward giving
the consumer more for his money, were
found to be the most important factor
in bringing about capacity operation.
The high level of employment which
would come with such capacity opera
ton would have far greater effect in
raising living standards than any en-
ployment which the government could
provide.
Since 1870, while our large corpora
tons have been developing, the amount
of manufactured goods which the av-
erage workers weekly wage would
buy was multiplied by two and a half.
At the same time, the working week
was reduced by about one-third.
