arrange parliamentary practice in
scientific manner. She has evolved

learned the students are given actual
parliamentary training and are
taught TO conduct their assemblages

Disguised With Railroad Station Here and
With Broken Promises Delegation Will
Put the Matter Squarely up to r. r. Co.

Mr.. Oliver d. Collins has been circu-

this week which the people were glad
to sign, and which viii result in visit
to the offices Of the Railroad Co. in
Philadelphia. of a delegation composed
of the Mayor and other prominent citi-
zens interested in the progress OF Snow
Hill.
We are requested to call a meeting
of the citizens of Snow Hill in the Mu-
nicipal building for next Monday night.
at eight o'clock. for the purpose Of
taking some action towards securing a
new railroad station for Snow Hill. This
is a matter in which our people are Vi
tally interested. and determined effort
will be made to induce the railroad au-
thorities to give Snow Hill better sta
ton. and one more in keeping with the
size and Importance of the town. The
present Accommodations at the station are
totally inadequate. and are disgrace
alike to the Pennsylvania Railroad Com
panv and the citizens of Snow Hiil.
From time to time the subject of new
station for Snow Hill has been agitated.

and it has been announced at various

been drawn, and that work on the build
ing would be commenced in short time
This advance information proved to be
premature. as Snow Hill today has
the same unpretentious railroad sta
tion, and the travelling public is com

veniences and the same intoierable
conditions that have prevailed for the

the demands Of our citizens for better
facilities at the station, the matter will
be taken up with the Public Service
Commission Of Maryland, which body
has jurisdiction over the public utilities
of the State, and power to order the
Railroad Company to improve conditions
such as now exist at our station.
Every citizen of Snow Hill should feel
an interest in the matter of obtaining
new railroad station, and il is hoped
that the meeting VIII be largely at
tended

Convention Prospects.

A letter came to me a few days ago,
saying: 81 read with interest your let
ter in The Messenger. and | am glad
the prospects for a good Convention are
so encouraging. What can do to
help" Whereupon. promptly dele
gated the inquirer to perform a real
service for the Worcester County Sun
day School Association, and she just as
promptly and cheerfuIly embraced the
opportunity. This is the spirit, which
is contributing towards a genuinely
helpful Convention. Oh, for more of 1t !.
| honestly believe that this spirit is
ten times more contagious than small
pox, and Judging from conditions prior
to our former County Conventions, and
from what I've actually seen at those
conventions. and also from the many
expressions Of interest IN the coming
Pocomoke City Conference. ! believe
we are in for the biggest refreshments
in the matter of Sunday School plans
and methods that we have yet enjoyed.
At this convention We shall begin to
apply the efficiency test to the workings
Of our local schools.
Are you familiar with the standard OF
excellence which your school is required
TO attain in order to be recognized as
Banner, a Star. or Front Line School?
II not, then you should acquaint your
self with them at once. and begin to
shape your work so as to conform to
these standards. for such schools as
have. through continued effort, attain
ed these standards will be recognized
and rewarded at the coming convention.
and there will be some Front Line
Schools, right here in Worcester. My
Brother Superintendent, how are you
going to feel when your neighboring
school receives the honors of her rank,
and yours fails TO receive such recogni-
ton? Let's get busy. Come up to the
Convention at Pocomoke City. May 18th
and l4th, inquiring how to improve your
methods. and add to the general eff
cheney of your school. and you'll learn
something helpful.
Yours for the best yet.

GRAIN MARKETS
ARE UNSETTLED
Promise of Removal of
Wheat Duty by Argen-
tine Affects Prices.
By Joseph E. PrItchard.

Chicago, Ill, Oct. "A private cable
received on the board of trade late to-
day from Buenos Ayres, said that the
Argentine government viii 1mmedi-
ately take steps toward the removal of
the duty on wheat going into that coun-
try, particularly from the United
States, thereby permitting their grain
and flour to come into the United
States free of duty. The above, with
the signing of the tariff bill by presi-
dent Wilson unsettled conditions in the
grain markets and sentiment was de-
cidedly bearish.
The feature OF the business on the
board of trade today was the heavy
transactions in corn in the way of
showed there were many shorts who
were willing to even up their position
on the declines established. In addi-
ton to the heavy selling by the larger
longs there was considerable corn
thrown into the pit on short account
With the oats market in the hands
of the bears and the stocks of that
grain larger than in some time, there
will be very little chance for a gen
eral movement in corn to be felt.
A poor business in cash markets and
lard was reflected today by the
further liquidation in October and No
vember products. Shorts with profits
were the best buyers.
