New Industry For Cambridge
It is with pleasure that the
Chamber of Commerce is able to an
nounce the establishment of a new
industry which promises to be of the
kind that will advertise Cambridge,
Maryland, all over the world.
Mr. J. S. Barnette of Dover, a man
of considerable vision and ingenuity,
as demonstrated by the undertaking,
has been busy installing equipment
and perfecting his organization for
the purpose of canning the liqtxor of
the oysters which come to Cambridge
in such enormous quantities. This
liquor in the past has been thrown
away even though it is known to be
the best of the oyster.
Mr. Barnette will probably start
working some time this week in An
drew’s Steam House, and whereas
there is considerable experimenting
lo be done it is felt by those who
have had experience, that it is bound
to be successful for the market is
ready, the supply is here, and cer
tainly these are the two biggest ob
stacles. It only remains to perfect
the process of cleaning the liquor by
Alteration.
With an industry of this kind it'
is hard to estimate its worth, but |
with the world as a market and
proper conservation of oysters it
might become an institution to fur
nish employment for all Cambridge
can supply, and more too.
We know, as a Chamber of Com
merce, that Mr. Barnette has the best
wishes of the entire citizenship of
Cambridge and a hope for such suc
cess as will exceed his fondest hopes.

$1,125 FINE IMPOSED ,
FOR ILLICIT FUR STOCK
Finn At Ciisfleltl Assessed That For
Having 4". Green Muskrat Hides
Out Of Season. . .Conflict Of Law
Alleged. Dealers Say Animals
Wero Caught In Virginia An
other Concern Fined $125.
Crisfleld, Md., Jan. I—On a charge j
of violating the muskrat law, Meyer
A. Saltz Fur Company and Saltz &.
Sons, fur dealers, were arrainged be
fore Police Magistrate Fred N. Hol
land yesterday, who imposed a fine
of $25 for each green muskrat hide
found on their premises. The first
firms fine was $1,125, the latter's
$125. x.
Deputy Game Wardens Elmer O.
Townsend and E. Q. Smith .being in
formed that the State muskrat law,
which prohibits the catching of
muskrats until January 1, was being
violated, came to Crisfleld and be
gan an investigation which resulted
in the finding of 45 green hides on
the premises of the Meyer Saltz Fur
Company and five hides in the pos
session of D. Saltz & Sons Fur Co.
The Saltz Fur Companies are re.
cognized as the largest fur dealers
in this section of the country. When
arrainged before the magistrate, the
men admitted having the furs in
their possession, but produced wit
nesses to show that the hides were
purchased in Virginia and not in
Maryland.
The muskrat season was shorten,
ed by the Legislature of 1920.
changing the opening day of the sea
son from December 15 to January
1, and making it unlawful for any
! person or persons to catch muskrats
within the State of Maryland or have
hides in possession if caught within
this State between March 15 and
January lin any year. The law
says nothing pertaining to having in
one’s possession muskrats caught in
any other State, and while both per
sons admitted having the hides, they
pleaded innocent of violating any
Maryland statute. A fine of $1,125
was imposed against Meyer A. Saltz
Fur Company and $125 against D.
Saltz & Sons Fur Company by the
magistrate, from which both firms
took an appeal, through their coun
sel, John B. Robins, to the Circuit
! Court.
It is said the Maryland and Vir
ginia muskrat laws create a similar
condition as that brought about by
the conflicting oyster laws in the two
neighboring States. While it is un
lawful for Maryland dredgers to
i catch and sell oysters that are less
j than inches in length, the Vir-
I ginia oysterman can bring oysters,
regardless of size, into the Maryland
markets when caught in Virginia |
i waters and dispose of them and not
violate the oyster cull laws of Mary
land.
Same Situation Seen
I The fur dealers contend that the
i same situation confronts the hide
buyers as does the oyster buyers, and
I that while Maryland laws prohibit
| having green hides before the first
iof January, this does not prevent
i them buying the hides in Virginia
j markets during the open season
i there and bringing the ‘hides unto
Maryland. Warden Townsend has
i the 50 green hides which he seized
and will produce them as evidence !
when the case comes before the Cir
cuit Court during the April term.

Lines Dedicated To The Editor
By One Of His Poetic Friends
Father, dear father come home new with me
The clock on the bank is now striking three.
The fire is out, the house grows cold
I’m growing fearful that mother will scold.
Your place at home is vacant, in your big arm chair
You used to stay with us. now the occasion is rare.
We thought fishing was bad, it is nothing yet.
To the lure and call of your pinochle set.
You swallow your supper, like dumping garbage in a tub
And rush madly away to the Great Elk’s Club.
Your ability to play cards, it Is to laugh
You know less of the game t’tan a but headed calf.
You try five hundred, your bids are a guess.
And as for pinochle you make it a mess.
You puff and strike matches in au effort to smoke •
And this, like your card plays, is a pitiable Joke.
And at the table, when you sit down to play.
The Elk who is opposite looks up in dismay,
He knows he can’t win, his chances you destroy
He heaves a great sigh and longs for Leroy.
So come home father, dear father we earnestly beg.
And learn some simple game, say “Mumble.the-peg,”
“Old Maids” you may try, and if you make It a go ’
Some day in the future you can try Casino.
Games like Five Hundred and Pinochle are out of your reach
These games a dummy can’t learn with Moss Hopkins to teach.
1 So father, dear father, come home in quiet and peace
And if you won’t come we will send the police. '

Correspondents Regets
Departure Of Old Custom
In the report of the local corps of_
at'ioif^Aum— ter— t&er Cpast
twelve months we note an item of
unusual interest. It states that
there were "families prayed with, *
1,795.” It is not the fact of the t
number of families prayed with. that
we wish to stress, though that is im-J
■ portant, but it is the larger fact, '<
I that during these visitations, .prayer J
- was had. To us this is the signifl- I
- cant thing. We had thought, up till 1
a short time ago. that this practice |
had fallen into desuetude, had been
scrapped, to use a word that is now |
■ very meaningful. At that time the !
writer was indisposed and was visit- 1
ed by his pastor and by other min
isters. Upon none of these oc. '
casions was prayer offered nor was |
any inquiry made of the sick one as .
to his soul’s welfare. He was also 1
visited by the Captain of the Salva- I
tion Army, during her call, she offer. ■
ed a fervent prayer and gave a mes- |
sage that was full of spiritual pro- <
fit.
It used to be. especially throughout 1
Methodism, that when the dominie 1
called on his parishioners, prayer \
was offered up. But it is not so now, (
Wo have fallen upon quite differ- ]
ent times. Albeit it is refreshing c
to find that there is one branch of '
the organized Christian forces whose I
ofiicers keep up this old Methodist '
practice. |
We have heard it from those, i
prominent in the Methodist Church, •
that the Salvation Army was doing I
the work that she (Methodism) had 1
neglected to do. Be there little or |
much in this charge of dereliction, i
it is obvious that the church of Wes- 1
ley has strayed from some of the old \
paths. i
The prophet Jeremiah spoke thus I
to ancient Israel, “Saith, the Lord, ft
ask for the old paths and walk there
in.” Would it not be well for our *
church to think on this command of m
Jehovah to His people of old?

“THE LURE OF JADE”
Story and Scenario by Directed by
MARION ORTH COLIN CAMPBELL
She had done no wrong, but an envious woman’s tongue spread
a slander that turned her world to bitter ashes.
Through long years she nursed her smouldering hate,
waiting, watching, living only for a terrible revenge.
And then under the swaying palms, in
a South Sea Island Inn, where derelicts end
blackguards drank a toast to dead decency,
came the power to strike. }
