SHORE INSTITUTION NOT
TO LOSE IT'S COACH

Rumors to the effect that George
Ekaitis, Washington College football
mentor, would assume similar post
at the University of Delaware were
stifled last week by the announcement
of the coach that he was not a can
didate for the Delaware job.
A Newark, Del, paper last week.
saw Ekaitis as the most likely sue
cessor to Lyal Clark, a former team
mate at Western Maryland, who had
been called to Harvard as one of the
aids of Dick Harlow.
More than 200 applicants have
sought the Delaware post, it is said,
and the Newark paper saw Ekaitis as
leading the parade, indicating that
he would fit in we'll with the Harlow
system now in vogue there.
Ekaitis, however, put an end to
rumor when he announced that he was
remaining at the Chestertown school.

GREEN BENCH CLUB
PREPARING FOR HEAT

Like st Petersburg, Florida, Denton
has it's green benches, less renowned
but equally popular.
From time immemorial green bench
es have stood on the Courthouse Green
for the accommodation of courthouse
patrons and the delectation of those
less harassed by business cares who
wish to exchange pleasantries COM
fortably.
Members of the Green Bench Club
observed that the 6 long green bench
es were showing signs of hard usage
but they are treasured they have been
repaired recently and soon will beckon
invitingly to the tired business man,
the mother and her children the feeble
and aged, and even frolicsome youth.
A little more spring sunshine will
bring the "club" out in true south
ern style.
Some call the devotees of the bench
es "sons of rest" But some mighty
big land and political deals have been
made on the restful green benches be-
side the daily exchange of pleasantries

FEWER FREE SEED TO
BE DISTRIBUTED IN '3S

The flow of "free seed" letters is
beginning again.. but indications are
there will be fewer than last year.
For Is years the U. S. Department of
Agriculture has been trying to con-
vince 130,0OO,000 people that it has
no free seeds or plants. Yet each
year, a spring approaches, thous-
ands of requests pour in from farms,
suburbs and penthouses. And all the
writer's of these letters meet disap-
pointment.
Years ago-previous to 1923 there
was an annual appropriations for free
seeds for Congressional distribution
through the Dept. of Agriculture
But in 1923 the Government decided
to discontinue the distribution of this
great quantity of seed since it was
only commercial garden seed such as
could be bought from any good seed
house and did not necessarily repres-
ent varities better than those in COM
mon use.
Not only does the Department have
no free seed, it has no seeds or plant
for sale either.
