Well, Sir, have you people had any
rain round to your house, the past
week or ten days? The moisture has
been somewhat noticeable where
live, but the Weatherman seems to
think he hasn't done his duty yet, SO
he's opening up few more splgots
in the vaulted dome; if you belleve
me, there's nothing the matter with
the plumbing overhead, and the sprlnk
ling system seems to be the very BEST
Why, they tell me Clinton Duncan
had to moor the Governor Emerson
C. Harrington" by big hawsers to'the
cypress trees in the swamp, to keep
her from floating down the river. OF
course, she couldn't have gotten very
far seein' as how she is fenced in by
two bridges, and her inside working
have been operated on and removed
But anyhow, he was afraid to trust
to the piling guarding her bow, and
he didn't want to lose what he'd spent
on her.
Then another story comes to light
of course, don't vouch for the truth
of it-but I was told that certain
young man of Pocomoke had his best
girl out for a ride, and down on the
Beaver Dam road, near the Pitts
Creek Presbyterian Church, the water
was so high she had to climb into his
lap to keep from getting her feet wet.
I sort of doubt that mean I doubt
the insinuation as to the height Of the
water at that point; the other part
of the story-well, you can use your
own judgmnt.It's true, some girls are
very tinid; maybe she had on a pair
of new shoes she didn't want to take
any chances about; maybe she was a
bit excited, and didn't realize where
she was crawling; or maybe there
was method in her madness, who
knows?
I sort of wish some of these State
Roads Commission men could be on
, the spot when that piece of road op-
posite the high school building refuses
to shed the downfalls in that neigh
borhood; maybe we'd see something
started. 1 saw car-evidently con-

the water was at its height there, and
he was not sparing the juice either
When he struck that water, he dis

not the only place Jupiter Pluvius has

the story comes that the cellar of {

FIRST REGIMENT
LEAVES CAMP
RITCHIE SAT.
Col. d. John Markey Expresses
Himself AS Highly Pleased
With Performances
HIGHLIGHT is BATTLE
WITH THE DANDY FIFTH

Bronzed and hardened from two
weeks intensive work in the field at
Camp Albert C. Richie, Cascade,
Md. the First Regiment will return
to it's home armories Saturday.
The troop train will leave Cascade
early in the morning, carrying the
Eastern Shore companies, but it will
be late afternoon when it pulls into
Crisfield to discharge it's last pass
engers. The Western Shore Compan-
les will leave the camp by trucks.
Col. D. John Markey, Regimental
Commander, has expressed himself as
highly pleased with the performance
of the Regiment, both in combat prob
lens and on the range. The organi-
zation was highly complimented by
Regular Army instructors on duty at
the Camp, and by the thousands of
visitors that spent last Sunday, Regi-
mental Day" as guest of the Eight
ing First"
The day after its arrival in camp
the Regiment participated in Brig
ade Review in honor of Governor
Harry w. Nice. The following week
was spent in Brigade Maneuvers, with
the Fifth Regiment from Baltimore,
under the supervision of Brig. General
Amos w. w. Woodcock, General COM
manding the brigade.
Highlight of the brigade training
was a sham battle against the Fifth
fought in the mountains near Ring
gold, Pa More than $4,000 rounds of
ammunition were fired in the encoun-
ter, during which Col Markey led his
men in an attack against strong de-
fensive position held by the Balti-
moreans.
Thursday and Friday of the same
week were spent in the open field on
a two day problem that carried the
troops on ten mile march to Smith
burg, where they spent the night in
shelter tents, moving into battle posi-
ton Friday morning.
The First Regiment is the only Ma
tional Guard unit in the country to
ever qualify its men 100 per cent on
the range and so win special trophy
offered by General Pershing.
The past weeks has been spent on
the range attempting to duplicate
that feat. While preliminary scores
: indicate that an exceptionally large
number of men will qualify, the final
totals have not been compiled at this
time.
Thousands of visitors gathered at
Camp Ritchie Sunday to pay tribute
to the First on Regimental Day. They
were entertained by numerous special
events, including Regimental Re-
view and a formal guard mount. Ath-
letic events and swimming were also
featured during the afternoon. Col
onel Markey and his staff played
hosts to numerous distinguished visi-
tors.

GOOD BALL
BEING PLAYED
BY LOCALS
Have Won Four Out Of Five
Games Played Since Last
Thursday Night
PITCHING is BEST NOW
OF THE ENTIRE SEASON

CdmDrlQSe, WnIle his IedHuHdLcS
were collecting hits and 2 runs
to win the ball game.
The loyal fans that have attended
the last two home games of the local
ball club have not had any regrets.
The team seems to have acquired
the pitching strength that they had
been lacking earlier in the season and
they are making good use of it.
On Friday night last they defeated
Centreville by score of 5-4. Phil
lips, although he allowed IL hits kept
them we'll scattered and bore down in
the pinches. The boys gave him good
support and the results of the game
show that is was we'll played by all
the locals.
On Monday they journeyed to Dow
er to tackle the "Orioles" in double
header, which they split even. The
first game went 10 innigs with the
locals emerging the victors by a score
Of 3-2. Rehbein pitched very good
ball, only allowing the hard hitting
Dover club five hits and struck out
eight. In the second game, Myers
was unfortunate enough to lose the
game, after only allowing 2 hits in
five innings. This loss was the re-
suit of errors, but he pitched beautiful
baseball. This lad is new acquisi-
ton of the club, being a lefthander
and he must have plenty on the ball
if that game is any sign.
On Tuesday night the team was
rained out, but on Wednesday night
Boyce shut the hard hitting Federals-
burg team down with hits and one
run, homer by Jack Slant, while his
team mates were collecting 8 hits
and 5 runs off the offerings of Dietz.
Only once during the game was
Boyce in any trouble at all, when mo-
mentarily he developed a streak of
wildness, but it did no damage, as
he settled down and kept them from
scoring in that inning. in the ninth
the first man got a hit and although
they used pinch-hitters, three men
were left stranded on the bases.
On Sunday afternoon, they play
Easton a double-header, single admis-
sion, the first game starting at 2 P.
M. On Monday night at 8:15 there
will be a game with the Cambridge
club in the local park
