SATURDAY, JANUARY 8, 1921. (
THE NEW YEAR
Here we are with our first edition in the new year 1921. We
begin the duties of this new year, which has opened so propitious
ly, with a light heart, thankful to all of our friends for the many
favors that they have conferred upon us in the past and hoping
for a continuance of their good will and support.
There are not wanting prophets who are foretelling the
great business calamities that are to befall this great country of
ours in the year upon which we have just entered and if we are
to listen to these pessimists the foundations of the great Ameri
can business structure is to tumble in a very short while. There'
are others of saner minds who take the opposite side of the ques
tion and predict a reconstruction that will work to the betterment
of all classes and conditions of citizens. These men are well versed
with the great business interests of the country and have made
the matter one of much thought and study. Of the two classes we
prefer to pin our faith to the latter, believing that the American
people will work out a method that will be a benefit to all.
To be sure none of us can expect the good times that we ex
perienced in the two years that have just passed. They were ex
ceptional years and the conditions were exceptional conditions,
as are experienced once or twice in a century. During this
inflated period many of our people made money not only by the
hundreds but by the thousands and the millions. If in the read
'justment of matters they are to lose a portion of their easily
gained belongings they have no just reason to complain, for if it
had not been for the exceptional conditions they experienced they
would still be the poor men they were of only a few years ago.
In these days of readjustment there is no room for the pess
imist. Surely there is no room for him in Pocomoke City. Our peo
ple are in every sense a business people and they are entering upon
the new year with hearts and minds fixed upon one idea only and
that to make the best of the present conditions and see to it that
this good year of 1921 spells SUCCESS.
We trust that every business enterprise in our town, from the
smallest to the largest, will enter the contest with cheerful dispo
sitions, that the year may bring to them larger and fuller realiz
ations than they anticipate and when the twelve months have pas
sed may they find that their bank accounts have been swelled to
abnormal sizes.
And while the green backs are falling may a reasonable num
of them fall into the otficc of the Worcester Democrat and into
the pocket book of your well-wishing servant, the editor.
JUDGE HENRY LLOYD .
Since our last issue the State of Maryland, and especially the
Eastern Shore, has lost one of its most distinguished and best
loved citizens, by the removal of Judge Henry Lloyd from the
scene of action. Judge Lloyd was one of the best men the State of
Maryland ever produced. As Governor he presided over the des
tinies of the State with marked ability and though his term of of
fice in that capacity was a short one still it is said to have been a
most successful one. As a jurist he was second to none in the
State. Well versed in the laaw, of a fair and impartial disposition,
his rulings were generally accepted as final, and if appealed from
stood the tests of the higher courts. He was a gentleman of the
old school (a class, we are sorry to say, which are becoming very
scarce in these days) and by his genial disposition made friends
wherever he went. The people of the Eastern Shore really loved
Judge Lloyd and the entire peninsula mourns his passing. In Wor
cester he was well known and generally beloved and the good old
county by the sea mourns with Dorchester in the death of her
distinguished son.
TARRED WITH SAME STICK
The revelaton that steel companies refused to supply steel
for buildings in New York which were to be erected by union la
bor has been called “shocking” “scaandalous,” "monstrous” and
a lot of other adjectives. The question indignantly asked has been
“What business is it of the steel companies whether a building is
to be erected by union men or on the ‘open-shop : policy ?”
At first glance it does suggest high-handed autocracy, an un
democratic conspiracy against unionized labor. The effect produc
ed upon one’s mind is ugly.
A little reflection, however, brings to mind that the steel
companies in acting this way are only taking a leaf out of union
ized labor’s own book. How often have we seen union members
throw down their tools and go on strike until every nonunion
worker was dismissed? Again, we are accustomed to seeing union
labor refuse postively to handle nonunion-made materials.
When you analyze the matter, is there any essential differ
ence in principle between the conduct and ethics of the steel com
panies and the conduct and ethics of the unions?—D. C. Forbes in
Public Ledger.
MR. HARDING’S TRIALS
Mr. Wilson has been reproached by his enemies for his hos
tility to advice, for his refusal to take counsel with anybody but
himself. No such charge can be laid against Mr. Harding. Ap
parently his hunger and thirst for other men’s ideas are insatia
ble, his appetite lor suggestions is unappeasable. He can’t get
enough advice, seemingly, to satisfy his yearnings, and he doesn’t
care much what it is or when he gets it. He is a wholesale advice
collector, and he has a digestion that will assimilate anything
from the rhetorical brain-food of Mr. Bryan to the subtle intellec
tualism of Mr. Root. Everybody with or without an idea is being
called to Marion these days, and every thoughtful and thoughtless
thought is being thrown into Mr. Harding’s mental grist mill.
i? ■ n *? av * n criticism, but in wonder and admiration
of the assimilative powers of the President-elect. Most men would
be confused, if not driven mad, by this multitude of counselors,
but Mr. Harding has no nerves, no embarrassing imagination, no
hysterical impulses. He can stand Mr. Bryan, on the one hand,
and Mr. Penrose, on the other, without getting flustered or sick.
It takes a safe and sane man, with 100 per cent, “normalcy,” to
stand such a strain cheerfully and smilingly. Perhaps it may be
better sometimes to be just normal rather than to be a genius,,—

The Wise'Farmer. 1
There was a man in our town ]
l he was wondrous wise
knew that if he wanted crops
He’d have to fertilize. 1
• |
“It’s nitrogen that makes things
green”
Said this man of active brain;
“And potash makes the gocd strong
straw,
And phosphate pllimps the grain. .
But its clearly wrong to waste plant i
food
tin a? wet and soggy field; j
I’ll surely have to put in drains :
If I’d increase the yield. (
And after I have drained the land
I must plow it deep all over; 1
And even then I’ll not succeed 1
Unless it will grow clover.
Now acid soils will not produce
A clover sod that’s prime;
So if I have a sour soil,
I’ll have to put on lime.
And after doing al! these things,
I To make success more sure,
I'll try my very best to keep
From wasting manure.
So I’ll drain, and lime, and cultivate,
With all that that implies;
And when I’ve done that thoroughly
I’ll manure and fertilize.

was completely cured by this remedy
and have since always turned to it
when I had a cold and soon find re
lief.”

I THE UNIVERSAL CAR - 111
The FORD Coupe I
'More and more this fine enclosed car lor two—but it will carry three a ili
—is growing in popular demand. Strongly built, the body rests upon
that marvelous Ford chassis. It brings to its owner every modern-day
convenience ; easy riding—while sli ling plate glass windows make it bree
zy and cool in hot weather; dust proof and water proof when the windows
are closed—it is cosy and comfortable in inclement and wintry weather.
Then there is the durability of the car, coupled with the low economy of
first cost and the saving of money in operating expense. Behind it, and
every other Ford car, is that unsurpassed “Ford After-Service” which
is given by the army of Ford dealers scattered all over the country, to
gether with some 15,000 authorized garages, until the Ford owner is j
always within immediate touch of dependable, reliable service, where the ' ;
genuine made Ford parts, and the genuine Ford methods are applied j i
in the care of this car.
The Ford Coupe administers to a great variety of owners, from the
physician to the traveling man, from the engineers to the architect, and
then for a pleasure car for two it is unbeatable. We ask your early order
if you want a Ford Coupe, because we want* to make delivery as quickly as
we can but we must have a little time. Come in and talk it over.
