i,gs at the old Rchoboth Presbyterian
Church witnessed one of the largest
gatherings ever assembled in that
church. Extra benches and chairs

not sufficient to take care of such an
unusual crowd.
The meetings were in progress dur
ing the past week and were in charge
Of the Rev. G. H. Gilmer. D. D., L. l..
D., of Draper, Va. DR.. Gilmer is su-
rerintendent of the Southern Home

usual ability, which was fully dis
played in his most eloquent sermons
OF the past week.
Rev. Hermon Bishof, pastor, is very
much pleased and encouraged with
TIE success of the meetings. The at
tendance was exceptionally good at
each service. Twenty-Five conver-
sions and twenty-five new members
were added TO the church.

ODD FELLOWS
STAGE BIG RALLY
Lodge Men From All Sections At
tend Dedicatory Exercises In
Salisbury Friday Last.

The Independent Order of Odd Fci-
lows had charge of Salisbury on FRI
day of last week. The celebration wa
a twofold one; the observance Of
Armisticc Day and the Eastern Shore
Rally of Odd Fellows, who were ther,
Cron the occasion of the dedcatorv
exercises of the new $4,000 temple,
the home of Newton Lodge, No. 50
OF that city. Early in the morning
visiting Odd Fellows began to arrive
n automobiles and by noon it was cs-
t;mated that more than 1000 Of them
were in town. All the business houS-
O. of the city closed at the noon hour
and the exercises of the day began
promptly at 1910 2. NJ.
One Of the most interesting events
Of the day was the lodge parade which
started at T. Nj. 1t is said to have
been the largest parade of lodge
members ever witnessed on the shore.
Another interesting event, and os-
pecially so to the lodge members, was
tie initiation of class of 526 into
tie mysteries of Odd Fellowship.
Ills is the largest class ever initiated
at one time on the shore and the
Salisbury lodge furnished ITS on the
rlen. This lodge now has an enroll
ment of six hundred.
and still another interesting num-
bel on the program was the banquet
which occurred that evening. This CT
course was something in which all
could take a part and no one refused
to do his or her part at the table.
Apollo Lodge of this city was large
ly represented in the company and
those of our people present express
themselves as more than pleased with
the days proceedings. 1t was truly i,
big day for Odd Fellowship on the
Eastern Shore and the effects of the
exercises will be far reaching.

Mr.. ]. Carl Ross, newsdealer and
confectioner, with headquarters on
Willow street, has been making some
great improvements to his store room

treated to a coat of white paint, the
cid ceiling renovated and almost
completely rebuilt, to say nothing of
ether minor improvements. He has
fdded considerably to his stock and i.
now looks like real city store. And
the best of all is that Carl enjoys 4
good trade.

THE POCOMOKE BAKERY
SHOULD BE SUPPORTED
Its Products Are Equal To The Best
And Its Service Is ExcelIed By
None On The Shore.

AS is we'll known the Pocomoke
Bakery has recently changed hands
Mr.. Duncan having recently sold the
same to Mr.. James T. Locates. The
now owner is an experienced baker
ard has had years of experience in
the business. He at one time con
Quoted bakery here and his balses
always gave satisfaction. For some
time he has been engaged in the same
business in Harrington, Del. and sold
out his business in that town to again
locate in Pocomoke City. Our people
will join US in welcoming him to ou1
n idst and wishing for him much sue
cess in his new relations.
The Pocomoke Bakery is one of TIC
Lost equipped plants on the shore and
under the management of Mr.. Duncan
had won favor with many of the
PEOPLE of the Eastern Shore. Their
hakes have always been popular and
their service was as good as the best
With an up-to-date plant, coupled
v It'll his years Of experience, Mr.. lie
Gates should have no trouble in MAX
irg a go of it.
But with all this much depends up
cn the support the enterprise rcce''--
cs from cur home people and those Of
Tie nearby country. 1t does seem Ii
diculous in the extreme for our town
people not to patronize purely home
concern, and especially so when IS
products are as good as can be
b ught. And still there are some who
will not do it. Shame on such people.
Cthcr towns of less Importance than
Pocomoke City do all in their power
to encourage home enterprises. They
never go away from home if they
can get an article from their own
people. They boost every enterprise
in their respective towns ard in turn
ere boosters for their towns as a
whole. Let our people try the sarc
tactics and we will see our town
grow as some of our sister towns are
doing. You are not home booster
il you buy products that are made in
other towns when the same products
gre made in your own town. Demand
Ct your dealer in such cases that tt"
articles must bear the stamp "Made
in Pocomoke."

THREE FORMALLY ENTER
SPEAKERSHIP FIGHT
Messrs. Lee, Roberts and Coady
Would Weld The Gavel Of
House Of Delegates.

John L. G. Lee, of Hartford county,
has entered the fight for the Speak
crship of the next House of Delegat-
es, bringing the number of the cand;-
dates in the field to three. Little def
mite support has been reported for
.any of these, and a sharp contest fcr
the office is anticipated, with all the
State Democratic leaders called in for
the final decision.
Mr.. Lee announced his intention of
making the race, following The visit
to Baltimore Saturday Of J. Allan
Coad, of st Mary's county, and
Clarence M. Roberts, of Prince
Georges county, the other avowed
candidates. While Mr.. Lee is under
stood as yet to have made no effort to
gain support outside of his county,
his friends there since the election
have urged him to try for the Speak
crship.
In 1918 Mr.. Lee was a member of
tic House and also served in the
same capacity in 1898. He was an
assistant district attorney under VIM.
i. Marbury in Cleveland's second ad-
ministration.
Mr.. Roberts and Mr.. Coad were in
the House in 1920, and Mr.. Roberts
was at that time a contender for TIL.
Speakership, which went to Millard
f. Tydings, of Hartford, now State
f:enator-elect.
Governor Richie has let it be
known that he is con the fence" as
regards the Speakership.
And with all this no one knows yet
where the plum will land. The Eas-
tern Shore has not been heard from
In the last session Of the General As
sembly the Western Shore had both
the President of the Senate and the
Speaker of the House of Delegates
ard it would seem but fair that the
Eastern Shore should land one of The
much coveted Dlums at this time. It
may be that when the hands on the
clcck dial in the House of Delegates
chamber point to the noon hour on
the first Wednesday in January there
will be an Eastern Shoreman's hand
at the business end of the gavel.
Stranger things have happened many
a time.

Cause For Humanity.

Only a few days are left of the
time allotted for the Red Cross mem
bership drive. The work of the Rec
Cross is being carried on with ua-
diminished vigor wherever there Is
suffering and want. This is true in
cur own county as we'll as through
cut the world. There are few who
will deny that this organization is
doing tremendous amount of good
among the victims of war, sufferers
frcm famine and want and among the
lobless and those too weak to care for
themselves, and there are few who
are able who are not glad to contrib
ute.
A yearly membership costs $1.00
OF this amount fifty cents goes to the
local wok of the Red Cross, and fifty
cents to the nationa | organization
Despite the efforts to see everybody
there will be some persons in the
county who will not be seen person
ally and asked to join. These per-
sens are asked to send in their money
before November Oath to one of the
local chairmen of the towns in the
county, or to the county chairman at
