Of visitors.
And as for the races. well, they are
always of the highest order. Unless
all the signs fail there will be the
longest string of horses here that has
ever been seen in Pocomoke. Anc
they will not be confined to our owr
Eastern Shore, but will come from q
distance. Many new horses will be
seen on the track contesting for tho
handsome purses that are offered by
the association.
AS we have said it is the intention
of the management to make this the

as they have always done, their uD
stinted patronage.

Pocornoke Club Wins
Four Games Out of Six
Continued from Page 1

Is the county-seat team. For sever
al innings it looked as though POGO
moke was to score another victory on
eli the Snow Killers, but accidents
happen and so it was with our team.
All at once our boys went to pieces
and the county-seat boys got such a
lead on them that it was impossible
for them to overcome it. We are al
most ashamed to publish the score
and especially so when it was against
q team that Pocomoke had trounced
in three successive contests this sum-
mer, prior to that Of Tuesday. We
will give the score at any rate; 81 TO
G, in favor of Snow Hill. WHAT 10
YOU THINK OF THAT? It is
something very, very unusual We
take our hats off to the Snow Hill
boys just the same, and congratulate
them upon their victory. But re-
member there is another day coming.
On Wednesday the Pocomoke boys
played another shut-out game when
they defeated Salisbury on the local
diamond by a 30 score. Salisbury
made only two hits off of Owens,
both coming in the ninth inning after
two men were out. Each of the clubs
has won game from the other, and
there is likely to be some fast play
ing when these two teams have their
lext clash.
Pocomoke met it's second defeat of
the week when the team joufned to
Princess Anne on Thursday and were
beaten by 6-S score by the SOM
erset boys. This makes an odd game
that Princess Anne has on Pocomoke,
but our boys feel confident of victory
when they meet again on the home
diamond today (Friday.) We go to
press too early to report the outcome
of this game, and will therefore have
tx. defer it until our next issue.
This Saturday afternoon at a
o'clock the Pocomoke boys will cross
bats with Onancock. A fast game is
expected as Onancock ae1eated the
local boys IL. their last game.

INEQUALITIES

The inequalities of read justment-getting back to normal-as some delight to express it, are still apparent. Already there has been a mo- ticeable decline in the cost of some commodities, the man. ufacter, the wholesaler and the retailer have yet far to go in price cutting before they stand on the level with pro- ducer of raw materials. Farm products took an almost yer tical fall to about pre-war levels. Other products have been slowly slipping down, but often so slowly that the move ment is hardly perceptible. For instance: Clothing and clothing materials are yet 86 per cent higher than in 1914; fuel 99 per cent; building ma- terials 103 per cent and house. hold furnishings 174 per cent. Other articles of manufact- ure are correspondingly high.
 Farm products were forced down without the consent of the producer, who, under eX- ising methods, has nothing to say regarding price. Pro- ducers, however, have not closed their ''factorie, s" but by lowering production costs and attending strictly to business, are coming along in- to better times with every man on the job. The farmer by pro- ducing more of his own nec- essities, is increasing his pur- chasing power for those thing which he must of necessity buy. Although the first to go down, he is the first to get up. He will have his affairs ad- justed before many other business men have learned that the war is over.-Farm and Ranch.

- URING the year through which We
have just passed we have tried
H. hard to gle the people of Ely
and community a paper of which they
could be proud and one which at the
same time would reflect the spirit of
the n~eighborhood in which 1t circu-
lates. Before We get far into the new
year we want TO pledge ourselves to
try and make the News ever better
and OF more benefit to the community
in the weeks to come.
Eut we cannot do this alone. We
must have your help your good words,
your cooperation Nothing goes fui
ther toward Inspiring an editor to good
work than a paid-up subscription list.
And right here you can show yonr IN
terest in the paper and the community
II is seeking to serve. Start the year
with your subscription paid up TO the
first of the next year--a small thing on
your part but n tremendous thing to
the paper IL everyone follows the rule
and pays in advance. We then have
an opportunity to go into the paper
and material market on a strictly cash
basis, and that means something 10
these we serve. We can feel surer Of
your interest when we see your label
marked up for a whole year, and there
is no surer way in which you can
show that you wan to cooperate with
your home paper than TO keep your
subscription paid at least n year IN
advance.
Bring or send or telephone Items YOU
feel will tie of interest to the conf
munity. Call our attention to any
event or incident We may appear 10
overlook. Remember that we are run
ming an institution which stands for
the good of the whole community and
that you are n stakeholder. DO this
throughout the year n see if you
feel the benefit hat comes from
a really live paper catering 10
Your interest.

Before you read any further or be
fore starting something else TAX just
a or two and ask yourself II
there is any reason why we shouldn't
make 1921 the banner year 10 the his
tory of the Ely district.
Think Of the improvements which
were talked of in 1929 and which ended
IN talk. Then make a resolve to do
more his time than you did before to
put them through. Wen venture that
every man in the community can sug-
gest at least one improvement badly
needed. But of curse il is impossible
to make them all. Then why wouldn't
il be a good idea 10 take a few OF
them or make the start with q single
one-and put It through? Maybe you
will have to give way to the other fell
lows opinion Of just what the town
needs most, but that's the only way
we'll ever get started. And, too, how
can you hone to get your favorite i'm.
provemcnt through IL he doesn't come
over to your way Of thinking? After
all. failure to give way a little to the
other fellow is really back Of every
municipal failure.
why not make this the banner year
for the community iy showing the
other fellow that you're for the best
interests of the whole people by boot
ing the improvements most needed
until we get them through? You got
through 1920, of course. But can you
see wherein lies even more comfort
and happiness If YOU Lad a few of the
improvements You went through the
year without. Nc town that stands
still is = satisfactory town in which
to live. You make Improvements on
YOU home to make it a better place
in whirh to live-then why not make
improvements ON streets and sidewalks
and public buildings and all that for
the same reason? Think il over, read
er, and then show by your work and
your talk that you want this 10 be the
towns banner year.
