FOR STATE SENATE

To The Democratic Voters
of Worcester County, Maryland,
I desire hereby to announce public
ly my candidacy for the State Senate
at the coming Democratic Primary
Election. I do so after mature and
deliberate consideration, prompted
likewise by the offers of support so
generously accorded me. To the more
than three thousand citizens who have
in advance voluntarily pledged me
their support and vote, I am sincerely
grateful.
In offering myself to my fellow
countians, it is with full realization
of the requirements to be assumed
and I can only pledge, if chosen, to
dedicate my official life to an earnest
effort to maintain their general well
fare and prosperity.

CARD OF THANKS

I desire to express my deepest
gratitude and heartiest thanks to the
Pocomoke Fire Department for the
efficient work done on the occasion
of the fire at my home on May 2.
Although it was impossible to save
the building in which the flames orig
mated, still my dwelling house was
protected and I feel that thousands of
dollars worth of property were pre-
vented from going up in smoke. ]
have nothing but praise for the COM
pany for their prompt and splendid
handling of the job. They know their
business, and are deserving of high
commentator and enthusiastic sup
port of Pocomoke and vicinity.

COLUMN
Editor Edward J. Clarke,
NY dear Prof. Clarke:

My dear Prof. Clarke:
Your recent report of the annual
field meet of Worcester County gave
me quite thrill. The development of
the youth of the Shore has been of
concern for the past fifty years for it
was about 1890 that became person
ally interested in athletic affairs. The
place given to physical education in
"these days" was then unknown a.
mong us, but somehow we had our
"stars," even if some were borrowed,
who did shine when the Virginia Red
Stockings came to town. May l recall
a boyish delight when "Ned" Clarke
and the Reverend DR.. Wolverton, pas
tor of the Presbyterian Church used
to cover first base so cleverly. Those
were "days" too, weren't they Ned?
But, Ned, the columns record the
going of so many who were young
with US. My sorrow is lessened some
what when 1 realize that the places Of
the stalwarts of the Shore who are
passing on will be taken by noble
youth, sound in body and mind, train
ed to meet a new culture expressing
itself with fearful power.
You are in a position to know, and
I long to be confirmed in the belief
that these young people are receiving
with like enthusiasm, training in
those essentials which make for char
acter and real brotherhood. There
can be a wholesome correlation be-
tween the powers that make for COM
plete personality and there are those
who believe that the Delmarva Shore
would be a fine place to develop the
spirits Of cooperation and brother
hood necessary.
The home, the school, the church
must realize that neither agency can
provide all the factors essential in or
der to attain the ideals of each. But
we must admit that there can be work
ed out a wholesome cooperation, each
making it's contribution, which will
accomplish the desired end. Yes,
have considered the difficulties in
volved in such a plan. These are
many and great, but when each group
is composed of the same persons
largely, tbs foolish and absurd that
they should not use every effort to
work together in the common cause
for common ideals. The principle of
the separation of Church and State
has been often, infringed upon, due
to ignorance and prejudice. Both
state and church have suffered great
ly owing to false emphasis by one
or both institutions.
Then, Prof. Clarke, in the spirit
of Eye olden time," of admiration
and confidence, may 1 through you
and your columns challenge old Wor-
cester to take the lead in worthy
effort to unite the Shore in such an
accomplishment as is suggested. The
forces of education and religion COM
bined with a wholesome press car
prepare an intelligent and loyal peo-
pie for the noblest and the best.
With most cordial and sincere best
wishes, I am
Your friend,
Kingman A. Handy

Dear Sir:
Your splendid and richly deserved
tribute to our old friend, Mr.. Edgar

family and mine have "gone in and

1DAHO'S BEET MEN
REACH '38 CONTRACT

After a series of conferences at
Pocatello, Idaho, the last of which
opened Monday, February % at
lo:OO a. m. and concluded Tues
day, March l at 100 a. M, Presi-
dent Ellsworth of LewiSville, presi-
dent of the Idaho Beet Growers
association, announced the grow
ers had reached an agreement
with professors on a very favor
able contract" for the 1888 crop.
Mr.. Ellsworth said the contract
was virtually the same as the one
covering the crop for 1887 and de-
clared, I'VE feel this is a very
favorable contract considering the
general economic condition"
Il am pleased to announce the
successful elimination of our ne
gotiations with the sugar process
sors and I am hopeful there will
be a big acreage planted this
spring." he said. "a big acreage
will be advantageous to both
growers and producers under the
contract"
Although he did not state the
exact terms of the contract, Mr..
Ellsworth's statement reviewed the
1887 crop for which growers will
have received a total of S7.4O per
ton, not including the approx
mate 40 cents per ton which will
be received by those growers who
have qualified for the soil conser-
walton program benefit payments.
In discussing the total payment
of s7.40 for the 1887 beets, Mr..
Ellsworth said he wanted to make
it clear that the growers, with
final payments, will have re-
ceived about $40 per ton from
the benefit payments under the
agricultural adjustment act and
$3.50 per ton from the professors.
Also Mr.. Ellsorth said the fig
ures referred to covered only Ida
no.
He explained the wages clause
OF the agreement had not been
decided, as that will be left up TO
the secretary of agriculture, who
must approve the contract and
specify wage scales if the grower
is to receive benefit payments.
Earlier this month the growers,
producers and laborers held a
two-day hearing before a federal
board appointed by the secretary
to study the problem in beet sugar
growing states.
