LECTURE AND SUPPER.
WicomicO Baptist Chapel. Decem.
Der 8fh.

The Ladies of Wicomico Baptist
Chapel are making special preparations
for this occasion. The ice cream and
cake, the candy and fruit. the bazaar
articles, and the extra good supper-all
these will be the very best the ladies'
can give and make and solicit from
their friends at home and elsewhere.
Then, if you want an evening of gen.
uine pleasure and real wide-awake fun.
If you want to catch smiling spirit
that just won't let you fall back into
a; sort of set frown, or if you really
want to laugh until your sides ache and
your face seems stretched all out of
shape, then come and hear Rev. S. p.
DEFAULT and see him when he really
undertakes for sure to break I'D and
reconstruct the NEST set or sour express
sion that can be found anywhere in any
community.
Should you find anyone who is too
busy to come; anyone who has no desire
TO get out occasionally from,fhe care
worn mood, or someone who is afraid to
come or just breads the operation, then
beg him, implore him, to come for his
own sake. This operation would cost
you many dollars at the hospital, but
you can have it done for % or Is cents
at Wicomico Chapel on Dec. 9Th.

BOY HUNTING SANTA IS
LOST IN BUSY BROADWAY
Weary Little Chap Goes to Sleep
on Corner, Where Police
man Finds Him

A tired little boy who wrote a note
to Santa Claus, couldn't find him, and
was lost in the holiday crowds of busy
Broadway, was taken to the central
police station on the shoulders of big
Patrolman Werts of the traffic squad
yesterday. He is Morris Alvey, years
old, with big blue eyes that ask ques-
tions and an overwhelming desire to
make known to Santa his Christmas
desires.
Morris, barefooted and bareheaded,
and gripping a letter he had written
to Santa Claus, left his home at 1868
Eagle street early yesterday without
the knowledge of his parents, Mr. and
Mrs Martin Alvey, in search of the
giver of gifts.
For five hours he wandered among
the holiday crowds in the downtown
streets vainly searching for some sign
of old Kris Kringle, until, tired and
despondent, he nestled at the base of a
drinking fountain, and before he was
discovered by the officer was fast
asleep.
The policeman touched him lightly
with his club and then lifted him to
his shoulder where, on their way to
the station, he viewed with delight the
toy-laden windows, the things he had
told Santa in his note he wanted.
The kind-hearted police matron made
him comfortable and when his anxious
father called for him yesterday after
noon, after being notified by the police,
he found the boy waiting in wide-eyed
wonder.

DICKINSON WANTS
WAR AER0PLANES
U. S. Tagging in Air Equipment
for Army Secretary
Says in Report

WASHINGTON, Dec. 9.-As might
have been expected after his personal
flights in aerolanes in France, Secre-
tary Dickinson comes out in his an
nual report with strong Endorsement
OF the flying machine and with
recommendation to congress for an
appropriation to provide the signal
corps with a reasonable number Of
the better type of machine for in
struction purposes and field work.
He recalls the fact that the United
States was the first nation to ofnclaily
recognize the aeroplane for military
purposes and conducted at Fort Myer
in 1908 the first public flight OF
heavier than air machine, yet 1t has
made no addition to it's aeronautical
equipment, which at present consists
of one small dirigible balloon, one
Wright aeroplane and three small cap
tive balloons.
The secretary calls attention to the
fact that the entrance to Chesapeake
bay, one of the most important points
strategically on the Atlantic sea coast,
is wholly unfortifed. At another inn
portant point, the eastern entrance to
Long Island sound, additional guns
are needed. Except for these in
stances, so far as guns alone are con-
cerned, the sea coast defenses at al
home ports are in satisfactory state
but much remains to be done In pro-
viding such auxiliaries as searchlights
and in developing the fire control sys-
tenn, which will require about $4,O00,00O
of expenditure.
Congress is asked to authorize an
expenditure of SIS, ,546,S43 for the forti-
fication of the termini of the Panama
canal

ARIZONANS LOOT
CON VENT|ON HALL
Constitution Makers Adjourn
Sine Die-Governor May 0p-
pose Ratification

PHOENIX, Arz.. Dec. 9.--The con-
stitutional convention of Arizona adj
journed sine die today at 5:44 o'clock
after being in session sixty days
and finally adopting u constitution
which is designated by a majority of
the members as the most progressive
ever framed and by minority as the
most Socialistic. One Republican only,
John Langdon of Globe, signed the
document. He was given an ovation
which lasted several minutes when he
attached his signature. One Demo-
crat, Ellinwood of Bisbee, declined to
sign because he believed the recall
applied to the judiciary would destroy
the irdependence of the courts of the
state and invite the disapproval of
President Taft. Tuthill of Greenlee
county was the only other Democrat
voting against the constitution, but
he finally signed 1t. The final vote was
40 to II.
Souvenir hunters looted the conven-
ton hall during the noon recess and
the gavel that President Hunt in
tended presenting to the territorial his
torian was purloined. He announced
that he would not sign the payroll of
employees of the convention until the
gavel was returned, but it had not
been found when adjournment was
take~.
The campaign for ratification by the
people at the election February o
will begin Immediately. Governor
Sloan. wLo is now In washington, is
reported to have announced his inten-
ton of returning to oppose the ratifi-
cation and an exciting campaign Is
anticipated. Democrats do not con-
slider that there is any doubt of its
passage.

COTTON MARKET RECEIVERS
ON FEDERAL ASSURANCES
Reports from Government In
crease Activity in East

NEW YORK, Dec. 9.-Prior to the
publication of the government estimate
the cotton market was very nervous,
and for the last week or more there
has been more or less liquidation by
smaller speculative longs, apprehensiVe
that prices were based on an under
estimate of the yield.
The report found the market we'll
liquidated of scattering speculative
long interests. and there also seemed
to be a large number of bullishly dis
posed operators who had taken profits
and who were brought back into the
market by the prospect of a supply
which they considered insufficient to
meet the normal requirements of the
season. The bears maintain the gov
ernment must have underestimated the
crop.
After closing at the regular hour the
English market reopened for business
Just before the government report was
issued, and remained open until the
close of the market here, with the final
prices there showing a gain for the day
equivalent to from 20 to SO American
points.
