IN PROGRESS
FOR DEDICATION

Be Formally Occupied On

PROMINENT SPEAKERS
EXPECTED FOR THE DAY

The city authorities are making
every effort to stage an imposing pro-
gram on Labor Day, in connection
with the cornerstone laying and Dedi-
cation of the new Fire Engine House.
The program, as tentatively arrang-
ed, will include big parade at P.
M; the cornerstone laying and the
dedication exercises at p. M; a ball

when everybody comes in from the
ball game they will have to go to the
new fire engine house to get big
supper prepared by the Ladies Auxil-
larry, at $3.50 P. M.
At the cornerstone laying there
will probably be repetition of that
impressive ceremony the public saw
at the Municipal Building. The Grand

conduct the exercises, and there is
every prospect of their accepting the
invitation. Prominent speakers have
been solicited, and the Democrat"

This merger by the requesss'
of the trustees and patrons at
a suggestion of the late Mrs. Lydia
Cannon Dryden, a teacher at Adams
School was granted by the Board OF
Education of Somerset County. Inc
consolidated new school, known as the
Rehoboth Academy, was erected In
1874 on the lot decided by the grand
father of DR.. J. Fred Adams, on which
the present building stands, opposite
the entrance to the Essex farm, about
one and one-haf miles from the town
of Rehoboth and in sight OF the tomb
of Colonel William Stevens, who re-
ceived a grant from Lord Baltimore
around 1866 to take up all the land
now embraced in Somerset County,
and who died December %, 1857, and
was buried on the farm now occupied
by Francis Cuff, known in 1874, as
the Chas. C. Wetherill farm.
It is worthy of note to record here
the fact that the original Rehoboth
one-room school building named a.
hove. which was occupied for many
wears prior to 1874 was situated only
q few hundred yards from the ola
Presbyterian Church that was built
at Rehoboth in 1706 and which was
the successor of the first Rehoboth
Presbyterian Church in America, es-
tablished by Rev. Francis Mackenzie
in 1888. The 17O6 church is still In
a flourishing condition. It was thor
ounghly renovated in 1887, and the
present efficient pastor is the Rev.
Herman Bischoff, who has ministered
to the congregation for over twenty
years past.
The Academy was ready for occu-
paney on September l, 1874. The
first Principal was the late Rev. Lo-
dowic r. Melbourne, who was well
qualified for the position. He was
a graduate of the Pocomoke City
High School. The school soon be-
came one of the leading two-room
schools of Somerset County. After
three very successful years, Mr.. Mil
bourne resigned and prepared to enter
the ministry of the Baptist Church.
After a successful career as pastor
in that denomination, he died in 1906,
at the early age of 81 years. His as

Triumphant Eastern Shore residents
went to the 12-foot public thermo-
meter on the Courthouse grounds and
poured red ink into the space between
the last figure reached, $135,000 and
the top which was marked $15O,OOO.
The exact amount reached at the re-
port meeting in the Wicomico High
School was $150,355.
Recent gifts included $1,000 from
the City Council Of Salisbury. The
Wicomico County Commissioners had
already contributed $4,000 and the
Worcester County Commissioners ST.

which indicates that the campaign will
be even a greater success than now.
This all goes to show that we are

minds to do a thing go ahead
and do it."
Contracts will be awarded as rapid

going over blueprints in an effort TO-
decide how to get the greatest amount

Under New Restrictions
BY the Associated Press

BY the Associated Press.
LA PAZ, Bolivia, July 8.-The
government today imposed strict
regulations on Bolivian tin exports
which comprise the bulk of the ma
tion's international trade.
Finance officials SAID active or pas
sive resistance to the restrictions
would be high treason" and make
offenders subject to penalties pro-
vided in lengthy government de-
cree to prevent the flight of ma
tional funds"
The decree, to become effective
July l. ordered that all receipts
from tin exports must be handled
by the Central Bank of Bolivia,
which will pay exporters partly in
Bolivian currency and will retain
so per cent of the foreign exchange
received to finance government eX-
penditures.
All tin dealings must have ap-
proval of the bank, which operates
under the finance ministry.
The government said it planned
to build up a stabilization fund by a
2i2 per cent tax on all tin exports,
to be used to compensate for world
price fluctuations.
Exporters, in addition, are required
by the new rules to leave on de-
posit at the bank per cent of
their receipts in a reserve fund of
foreign currency to meet emer-
