Shad fishermen are predicting a late season for ihe succulent Choptank River shad this year, because almost continuous winter weather and so much ice which must yet come down from the upper stretches of the Bay are keeping the water unusually cold, with (he result that the shad, which are now basking in southern waters, are not expected to return this far north i much more moderate temperature prevails Some of the hold to the tradition that there usually more shnd after a severe winter.

At any rate the preparations being made for the shad season in the lower waters of the Choptank indicate that more nets will be dipped and more crews will fish in the bay and river this spring than for years. A local dealer in fishermen's supplies reports that he already has orders for more than .4,000 pounds of twine for making nets. The high price of net twine is responsible for a lot of old nets being repaired. CHURCH NOTES OF INTEREST Dr. Crouso Will Go to Another Field- Other Ministers Retire.

At a members' meeting of Denton Methodist Prclestanl Church on Wednesday evening T. Pliny Fisher was chosen delegate and Charles W. Hobbs alternate to the Maryland Annual Conference. The following board of stewards was named- John T. Harris, Mrs.

Maud F. Johnson, Mrs. Ella S. Fisher, and John A. Mackintosh.

Resolutions giving high praise to Rev. Dr. Thomas O. Grouse, pastor of the church, who will soon change his pastoral relations, Liking up work elsewhere, were unanimously passed. Dr.

Crouse has been at Denton church five years, and his large congregations attest his popularity, which has grown steadily as time has passed. Few of earth's pilgrims ever attain and retain in such a degree the esteem and affection of the world as did St. Patrick. His name still before mankind in letters of goldl Not even in a world which has so long ween dominated and desolated by brute force can the lesson of Patrick's career fail of it 1 potency in ed ucating the race, declares a contempor ary. What most of us, yes, all religion ists, accept in theory but find it very- hard in practice to believe, was a part of Patrick's life.

That truth is that a man given to Ihe kind of prayer which shows itself in good works is in partnership with the Eternal in directing the affairs of the universe. Rev. J. P. Stump, who is now pastor of (he Southern Methodist Church at Goldsboro.

and who has served a number of important charges in his conference, among them Trinity Church at Easton, will retire from active ministerial work after the meeting of the annual conference in Washington next week, and will to his country home in Virginia. This action by him is caused by his having been in poor health for the past year. A successor to the late Bishop Adams will be named in a convention called by the standing committee to meet in Trinity Cathedral, Easton, April Joih. About 23 clergy and the same number of laity are entitled to seats in the convention, but owing to several vacancies in the parishes, it is thought that the lay'vote ll ouinumber the clerical vote.
