No man in recent years has | a better record as an intelligent, able. • and conscientious public servant, than t Mr. Coblentz. ILs record as a cHi ! :-en and business man, is second to • that of no one in the whole State, and ft he stands equally high among the • members of both parties, both men and women. With such men as Mr. - Coblentz, Major Brooke Lee, and oth ers of the same class in the General II Assembly, the people of the State E would feel assured that all matters 3 of Legislation affecting the public and S private welfare of all classes of citi -3 zens, would be in safe hands. At any 5 rate every effort will be made by 5 conservative citizens of all classes both men and women to raise the E standard of membership in the Gen § oral Assembly especially in the E House of Delegates—and this move- E nent will have its influence on the 3 nominations of Baltimorie city as E well as throughout the Countiis. 3 Governor Ritchie is in thorough ac s cord with this plan, ana all his influ- E encc will be exerted to aid in its suc = (CSS.

PAUL WINCHESTER. The Weather Conditions Changed Very Suddenly For some weeks our people had i been much elated over the fine weath-! cr that was being experienced in this '■ section. In fact the weather during i the Christmas holidays and the New; Year season was the finest that has' ever been witnessed here. The early part of the week was like our regular spring weather and no one would have gone to the Southland for com fort. A sudden change occurred, however, on Wednesday afternoon and before the midnight hour real winter weather was on the program And wit it all our people were very much pleased for the conditions wer. such as were bound to affect the good health of any community. Winter weather in winter and Summer weather n isummer is the best pr gram after all. — ♦ m Mokis Dance To Pro pitiate God Of Rain Continued from Page 2 tnem or tneir paint, un rne morrow the pueblo feast takes place, and the new green corn and melons are eaten without stint. Very naturally the question Is asked: Are not the rattlesnakes used in the Moki ceremonies drugged or deprived ! of their fangs? If not, why are not the j half-nude snake dancers and priests j bitten? White people who have seen 1 several Mokl snake dances say they ' have never known a Moki to confess he was fanged, but every year specta tors see snake dancers pull away from their arms serpents that have fastened there. Every year some of the reptiles coll and strike at their captors. The i best-posted scientists who have looked upon Moki snake dances say that the priests and dancers have a certain manner of handling the creatures, and tlmt the strange broth which the snake , handlers drink renders venom harm less. At any rate it Is unique among barharlc customs. For a Persistent Cough Some years ago H. P. Burbage, a student at law in Greenville, S. C., had been troubled for a long while with a persistent cough which he say 3 “greatly alarmed me, causing me to fear that I was in the first stage of consumption.” ’laving seen Cham berlain’s Cough Remedy advertised he concluded to try it. “I S' on felt a remarkable change and after using two bottles of the small size was • permanently cured.”—Adv.

They contain the three elements of plant food most needed in crop production—nitrogen, usually referred to as ammonia; phosphorus, known to the buyer as available phosphoric acid, and potassium, known as potash. Each of these elements per forms definite functions in plant growth. There is no mystery about the action of fer tilizers in plant growth. Nitrogen, or ammonia, causes quick and vigorous growth of stalk or stem. Available phosphoric acid helps fill the grain or fruit and hastens ripening. Potash strengthens the straw or stalk and helps to plump and fill the grain and font. For the past 33 years Tilghman”s Fish Fer tilizers have been the standard plant food in this territory. When you use Tilghman’s Fish Ferti lizers you are guaranteed high proportions of these three vitally important plant foods: am monia, phosphoric acid and potash. Take no chances on the outcome of your crops by gam bling with unknown brands of fertilizers when you are guaranteed a high production fertilizer when you use Tilghman’s. Do not take a chance. Buy Tilghman’s Fish Fertilizers and “B” guaranteed. WM. B. TILGHMAN CO. SALISBURY, MD. I Monuments and Tombs [ In Marble and Granite [ GET OUR PRICES BEFORE BUYING [ POCOMOKE MARBLE WORKS r C. K.
