Doing Right Well

Tobacco prices on the Hendcr-
son market are doing very well. Sev-
eral days this week the entire sale
averaged better than twenty cents
Il pound, which is quite d hike from
the l5-cent figure commonly Cos
Siped around during the spring and
summer as what might be expected.
How long the present levels will be
maintained will depend, tobacco men
say. on the amount Of high quality
leaf there is TO come on the market.
Since the general impression has
seemed to be that the 1910 yield is at
least as good as the average, stabil-
Ity in prices may continue for some
Gays yet The tragedy, OF course,
is that the crop is SO small, but its
very smallness is the answer to the
surprisingly good prices that have
obtained thus far.
Some Of the markets in Eastern
Carolina appear to be concerned
about the reliability Of price averages
beng announced, and one newspaper
hints strongly that Il lot of padding

Recess Would Answer

Congress appears to be in muddle
over whether to stay in Washington
or quit and 60 home. Members UNI
doubtedly would welcome a chance
to get away for an opportunity to at
tend to their political fences. But
to all intentS and purposes, the coun-
try is at war, and that time Of ali
times is when they should be ON
the job.
Early in the week, there WAS 4
story that probably no adjournment
would be had Hardly had the ink
dricc ON that report when there
was Il burst of comment that efforts
to adjourn by this Weekend prob
ably would fail, and that ii would be
some time next week before il would
be possible to quit.
Senator Barklcy WAS prominently
cuo,cd in tales about Adjournment.
and il WIS limited that administration
leaders had been proddcd INTO ln"!r
fcrerish activities toward ;ha1 end.
If that were true. the immediate sup
position would be that the President
WAS the inspiration.
Why should the President wish to

HEAVY STORM PREVENTS
FOOD DISTRIBUTION
Continued From Page I

County Welfare Board once a month
from Baltimore and in turn is deliver
ed once a month, in the county one
day each in Berlin, Snow Hill and
Pocomoke City. Lists are made up
a month in advance, showing the
number of families and the number of
persons in each family. The amounts
of food materials are sent from the
storage house in Baltimore in accord
ance with these lists, q certain a.
mount of each food being allowed for
the number of individuals to receive
the commodity.
In no sense can the food received
and distributed be considered as ade-
quate diet either in amount or va
riety. For instance, in January the
food consisted of dried beans, corn
meal, Graham flour, wheat flour and
rolled oats cereal. The same foods
are idicatcd for February except
dried beans, and with raisins added.
The Welfare Board accepts what is
sent.
In amounts, too, the foods are lin
tied. One persons may receive only
two pounds each of the flours, meal
and rolled oats cereal, and one pound
each of bean and raisins. For fam
lily of eleven to twelve, thirty pounds
of corn meal and rolled oats, sixteen
and one-quarter pounds of Graham
and twenty-four and one-half pounds
of wheat flour may be given-certain-
ly not enough to feed either family
for more than a very few days.
Sometimes, butter is sent. Again
large quantities of grapefruit juice
may be included. Fresh fruit can
not be handled in cold weather due to
danger of freezing during transporta-
ton and while in storage in Snow
Hill.

ICScEIOcS OWN Experience
IT can go back to my own expe-
rience as an employer and say that di-
rectly under my own supervision there
has been expended, largely in this
community, over one hundred million
dollars in payrolls, and that during
the period of this expenditure, the
hours Of labor have been reduced and
wages increased, so that when I sew
cred my last connection with these To-
cal industries, wages were approx
mately three times what they were
when my management began-and
this increase took place without being
Influenced by disturbance or dissen-
sion.
"No effort, under my supervision,
has ever been made to prevent en-
ployees from organizing. can truth
fully say that years ago I adopted
in the business under my management
many Of the principles Of the recent
labor legislation"
Farm Legislation Upheld
Howard Bruce declared himself in
favor of continued legislative efforts
to aid the farmer. eve must find q
formula that will prevent both pow
erty from shortage and from super
abundance and that will maintain the
farmers income and purchasing power
in true balance with the rest Of the
country. If in the experiments that
have been or are being tried we have
not successfully found the solution,
then we must continue our efforts to
do So"
Mr.. Bruce heartily endorsed the re-
cent neutrality policy of the Roosevelt
Administration and the recommended
legislation which was passed by Con-
gress. He further endorsed the Reel
procal Trade treaties negotiated by
Secretary Hull as seeking an intelli-
gent solution of trade problems in or
der to increase world trade and to re-
move obstacles to better understand
ing and peace among nations.

stuffs and commodities were plentiful,
with the exception Of chick feed, but
late yesterday afternoon fresh sup
plies reached the Island just as the
stocks were getting low, to take care
of the millions of young chicks annual
ly raised on Chincoteague, it being
one of the leading broiler raising sec
tions in the world.
Milk was also becoming scarce AZ
the boats came through with fresh
supply.
According to reports from Chinco-
league there is plenty of ice on Chin
colleague Bay and boats it is reported
are unable to get through to Franklin
City.
Contractors are now busy erecting
concrete bridges to the Island which
when completed, are estimated to cost
in the neighborhood of half million
dollars. The washouts occurred on
the old structures.

have been no privation, no emergency
cases of illness where sick might
have been forced to leave the Island,
and no shortage of food stuff.
Queens Sound bridge is 600 feet
long and is one of the original bridges
constructed when Capt Jack Wheaton
made this his lifetime dream and de-
spite the mos" of his friends, lived
to see this dream realized. Not an
engineer, and with only very limited
education, he planned the project,
sold the idea to those who had faith
in him and it stands as one of the
most spectacular feats ever to be &C.
complished by an Eastern Shoreman.
It was reported early Wednesday
morning that a fate similar to that
September, 1886, had taken place,
only at this time it was stated that
two bridges had been impaired. How
ever about noon Wednesday, w. M.
Gose reported only Queens Sound
Bridge had been affected by the ice
and wind. In 1885 it was Black Mar
rows Bridge which was swept off its
pilings.
Mr.. Gose received the message of
the wash-out about noon from Engi-
neer Piercy via Coast Guard lines.
Late Wednesday night when Mr..
Gose returned to his home from Chin
colleague he gave out the following
report:
"About 200 feet of Queens Sound
Bridge has been washed out and we
are already making arrangements,
with material rolling, to put in tenn
porary structure. 1t will be about
ten days with the best of fortune, that
we can turn traffic across it.
"In the meantime we are making
arrangements to handle mail, express
and perishables to and from the Is
land, following the route of bridges
and roadways and ferrying across
Queens Sound. This service became
effective at o'clock Thursday after
noon."
Snow plows went on the Island late
Tuesday night and made the last re-
turn trip about 1880 Wednesday morn
ing. Employees of the Highway De-
partment made an effort to keep the
roadway open but to no avail in the
face of binding snow and a 50-mile
gale.
The road to Chincoteague from
Nash's Corner after the first mile
was a mass of drifts and across the
marsh to the Island snow was piled
from one foot to four feet all the way.
In order to open the road an emer-
gency crew consisting of 80 men, with
hand shovels, opened a path so the
snow pillow could get footing. Three
trucks with snow plows have been
working there since Wednesday morn
ing.
In addition to the east end of the
Chincoteague Bridge it was reported
that about two feet of the west ap-
proach to the same bridge was unsafe
as ice had pushed the bridge out of
line. Repairs will begin on this Sec
ton at once.
THE NEWS by telephone last night
was informed by citizens in Watson
Bros, that there were no privations
on Chincoteague. All necessary food
