song lyrics are published in the vol
ume, LYRICS FOR SONG HITS, a

music publishers, composers and all
those connected with the world of
music. New writer's Of promise are
introduced through this volume, and
it is expected that a number of the

is now being compiled and poets and
others who write lyrics are invited
to write to the publishers, Avon

Vim. E. Landlord Died
Feb. 18th At Waterloo
Continued from Page i

this city on Monday last by the Rev.
H. V. Clary, rector Of St Mary's Epis-
copal Church, interment being in the
cemetery Of that denomination. The
pail bearers were, Messrs. B. Fuller
Walters, Dr.. r. Lee Hall, Dr. A. A.
Parker, Charles l.. Mason, Judge
James M. Crockett, Maurice w. Cos
ten, and William H. Dryden.
The deceased is survived by two
children; William Fleming Landlord
and Miss Marguerite Myrtle Lark
ford, both Of Waterloo; by two grand
children, Mary Lee Landlord and Mrs
Harold Bayles, Of Connecticut; and
by one great grandchild, Laura Lee
Bayles. There are also two surviving
nephews, Joseph B. Landlord and
Paul T. Barnes, who reside in this
county.
In his earlier days, Mr. Landlord
was associated with the late VIM. J.
S. Clarke and Charles Crockett in the
lumber and ship building business;
and much later with Phillip C. Den
mis- and the late Thomas NJ. Purnell,
in the same line.
Politics became very attractive to
Mr.. Landlord even as a comparative
ly young man, and in 1899 he was
elected sheriff of Worcester County
and reelected in 1908 He was a
close friend and admirer Of the Hon.
John Walter Smith, and with him
shared much political power in the
county.
In 1906 he was appointed warden
of the Maryland House of Correction
where he served for 1G years. In the
meanwhile, there was an interim I'M
der Gov. Goldsborough, but after
wards he resumed the office of war
den. His work there was entirely sue
cessful and efficient.
Mr.. Landlord was always interested
in public matters and was president
of the Baltimore and Washington
Boulevard Improvement Association.
He was a member of the Masonic Or
der, affiliated with the local lodge,
Crescent No. ITS.

SHORE LEAGUE
DISBANDS FOR
WAR DURATION
Difficulty In Obtaining Players
And A Waning Interest
Named AS Causes
FOUR TEAMS DECLARED
READY TO PLAY BALL

Minor league base ball in this
country is hard hit by war conditions,
and many of the associations will not
attempt to play out a schedule this
year, among them, the Eastern Shore
League.
This organization has disbanded
and will not attempt to resume oper-
ations until after the end of the war,
President Harry S. Russell of the
Glass D circuit has announced.
Russell said that only four of the
remaining six clubs in the loop had
been willing to continue this season,
and that directors felt it would be
unwise to attempt to operate with but
four teams.
Previously, he announced that Mil
ford, Del, fredericksburg, Easton and
Cambridge, Md, had been prepared
to play ball. Centreville withdrew
during the winter and Salisbury,
which finished the 1871 season in re-
ceivership, had been disenfranchised
by the directors.
Difficulty in obtaining players and
a waning interest in the league the
past two years also were cited as fac
tors in the decision of the directors
to discontinue the circuit.
Directors voted to disband at a
meeting in Easton a week ago, Rus
sell said, but announcement was with
held until today to permit clubs to
sell or transfer players still on their
rosters.
Although President w. G. Bran
ham of the National Association of
Professional Baseball Leagues has
ruled against "recessing" or organic
ed leagues, Russell said that officers
and directors of the Shore League
would continue in their present posts
in an effort to keep the loop intact.
The group plans an annual meeting
each November and will apply for a
new charter at the end of the war if
there is sufficient interest, Russell
said.

Man SHOT IN BED
DIES In HOSPITAL

Sam Galloway, Of Salisbury, who
was found shot through the neck in
his bed last Wednesday morning by
city police, died Saturday in PENN
sula General Hospital.
His wife, Wilhelmenia Brewington
Galloway, has been charged with muir
der and is being held in the Wicomico
County jail, States Attorney Rex A.
Taylor said yesterday.
Police said Galloway never regain
ed consciousness from the time he
was shot last Tuesday night about IL
o'clock.
At first his wife was charged with
assault by gun, but the writ was
changed to murder after his death.

lights on the runways. However the
pilot chose to disregard these and Sc
lected the concrete highway known
as the bypass and brought his ship
to anchor at a spot about one-third
Of the distance between the Dryden's
Mill and the upper end Of the pass,
being nearer the mill.
The machine was Immediately put
under guard by the men now biIleted
in the local armory, and all approach
to it was denied to the curious and
interested public.
Through the courtesy of the officer
in charge, a representative of the
Democrat" was allowed an interview
with the pilot of the air craft, but
he, very wisely, was rather uncom-
municative, and vouchsafed only mea-
ger information. He gave as his name,
2nd Lieut. P. G. Firstle, and that of
his radio operator as S. S. COnsali.
Also that they belonged to the 10th
Observation Squad. Beyond this he
advised his questioner to seek Camp
Mitchell for advice.
There was no available information
as to where his trip started nor where
it was intended to end, nor as to its
purpose. The pilot was also silent
as to the cause of his forced landing.
His reasons for his failure to give out
news was due to orders from head
quarters to the effect that as little
publicity as possible should be given
to the movements of any part of the
service.
Conjecture has explained that eth
er the pilot was lost or that the ma
chine had run out of gas. Had either
been true, the remedy was at hand
and the pilot could have soon been on
his way. But between 9 and 10 o.
clock Wednesday morning the craft
was still on the pass where it landed
and it would seem reasonable to sup
pose that some repairs were needed
before it would again take off.
The incident had in it little sug-
gestion of state of real war; no
doubt some thought there was a pos
sibility of bombs in the air, and no
doubt there were some shivers and
tremors down the spines Of those who
watched the air ship circle about the
city. Il is hoped that none will ever
be more dangerous than the one of
Tuesday night.

area, prices are likely to continue at
low levels.
DR.. r. A Jehle, State Plant Path
ologist, discussed potato seed certifi-
cation and showed the growers sam
pies Of new promising varieties of
late potatoes, some of which could be
grown in this area. He particularly
stressed the new Sequoia which has
done remarkably we'll here and out
yielded many other varieties. This
potato should be planted sometime
early in July for fall harvest.
DIR. Jehle also urged the growers
to be careful in purchasing certified
seed and warned the growers to be
sure of the origin of this seed. Seed
which has been tested in the south
for disease is the best seed that can
be obtained and if growers are plan
ming to plant their own seed st ok
for certification, one-half bushel of
seed must be left at the Pilchard
Farm, Pocomoke, not later than
March 18th, SO that disease tests may
be run.

When one considers the fact that
the common cold can be easily spread
by insanitary conditions, is there any
wonder that there are approximately
4OO,OO0,OO0 colds year and from
these colds develop many of the 200,-
900 cases of pneumonia which actual
ly take toll of one thousand lives.
This infection is easily spread by con-
taminated drinking glasses and eating
utensils. tat the present date, with
the country at war, allowing the use
of such utensils not only endangers
health but could be considered an act
of sabotage, for the colds that devel-
OPP slow up production.
