MARYLAND ITEMS

Cards are out announcing the
wedding of Miss Beulah Palmatory
to Mr.. Stephenson of Baltimore.
Miss Palmatory is the accomplish
ed daughter of Theodore Palmatory
station agent at Berlin, formerly of
Smyrna.
Harvey Hubbard died while at
tending Sunday School at Easton.
Rev. E. H. Miller, prominent
minister in the Wilmington M. E.
Conference, will be married on the
18th inst. to Miss Bette Caulk of
Chincoteague Island. She is a
handsome young lady, well accom-
p1ished and has high social and lit
erary standing.
The Maryland legislature will be
thanked by all good citizens for
abolishing the pool rooms. The
evils growing out of these foul
sinks of iniqquity are patent to the
most casual observer.
John T. Palmatory, who died in
Hillsborough on March 27, was a
man of the most exemplary Chris

Kent county, Del, and in early
manhood removed to Kent county,

The Spring Festival

The girls chorus of Clayton
School attended the John Bassett
Moore School Spring Festival of
Music, April 10, 1910.
The festival started with the
Girls Glee Clug singing many
songs. Next, six hands played a
piano trio. The Junior High School
Chorus and the grade choir sang
many songs, also.
DR.. George H. Ryden presented a
portrait of Judge John Bassett
Moore to his school. 1t was very
beautiful portrait, and the school
was very happy to receive it.
A mixed quartette sang two
beautiful pieces. America the
Beautiful was sung in combined
choruses.
The High School Band decorated
the stage in their bright red suits.
They also played three beautiful Sc
lections.
At the very end the choruses and
band played and sang. All lights
went out except the spot light
which shone on the Flag of Pur-
ity."

The last play was called, ''The
Brink of Silence" This play was
about two men who lived all alone
on an island in little cabin. One
man found that the other was a
noted explorer who was believed to
be dead. These two men were in
their cabin when they heard loud,
"Hello!" They opened the door
and in stumbled one man half
carrying and half-dragging another
man who was nearly frozen. In
the end the man who was not sick
was found to be the explorers son.
This son had completed what his
father intended to do.
Everyone of these plays were ex-

Dover PLAYS

On the night of April 4, four
plays were given down at Dover
High School. The first play was
called, ''Wenies on Wednesday," 1t
was about some people who had a
distinguished guest at their house
and they had wenies or "hot Dogs
They were afraid that the guest
would not like wenies, but they
found out that she did.
The second play was called
wildcat Willies." This play was
about boy who told the boys Of
the town that he wasn't afraid of
anything, and that he wasn't any
sissy. But when the boys came
around to see him he was acci-
dentally found to be in his sisters
dress. The boys said that they
were not sissies, but their sisters
told on them. Because everyone
had helped his sister in some way.
In the end the boys were fully
fighting and wildcat" knocked out
one of his playmates. Just as
wildcat" was boasting what he
would do if he had his boxing
gloves, Joe, the boy he had knock
ed out, jumped up and knocked

The next play was called, I'm

won the prize. 1t was about six
men who were trapped in. a caved
in mine. One man had a gun with
four shells in it. The men had only
three hours to live. But they said
that if six men could live three
hours three men could live six
hours. So the men drew lots to see
which ones should be shot. There
was one man there that was a cow
ard, and he didn't want to die He
was screaming and praying to God,
to save him. One by one the men
were shot down. Only two were
left and that was the coward and

swers the same question. "Since
1882 fertilizer prices have been
fairly stable at a little below the
191O-1914 average" says the re
port. FERTILIZER prices, as a per-
centage of the 191O-1914 average,
are considerably lower than prices
of most commodities bought by
farmers. In fact, all commodities
are 16 per cent higher than the av-
erage, while fertilizer prices are 5
per cent lower"
The report continues: New de-

Further Declines Seen
In tobacco Exports
By the Associated Press.

~ WIG 7SocSidtcu FICoS
OXFORD, N. c., July 81. B.
Hutson, assistant administrator of
the Federal Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration, said today
that present indications were that
it would be difficult to export to-
bacco this year.
I ma prepared address at the 18th
annual field day of the tobacco sta
ton here, Hutson said:
Developments in Europe in recent
months are likely to cause a falling
off in the consumption of American
f1ue-cured tobacco in Europe regard
less Of the outcome of the war. Due
to the fact that stocks in foreign
countries were large at the begin
ming of the war. exports are likely
to be reduced more in the immediate
future than foreign consumption"
These, he said, appeared to be
reasonable conclusions" about the
tobacco situation:
81. We have record supplies and
a reduced market.
%. If disastrously low prices are
to be avoided, action must be taken
to bring supplies in line with the
present market needs.
"3. Laws have been enacted I'M
der which action for the protection
of prices can be taken if growers de-
sire to take such action.
a. Growers are going to make
decision on July 20 on the kind of
action to take, and this decision will
be final"
