FARMERS TO PERFECT
COUNTY ORGANIZATION
To Meet In Snow Hill Next Tues
day To Elect Officers And
Adopt Bylaws.

A meeting Of the farmers will be
held on Tuesday afternoon, March 1st
in the Court House at Snow Hill at 2
o'clock Tor the purpose of perfecting
the organization of Worcester
County Agricultural Society.
At the preliminary mass meeting
held on last Monday, about 300 farm
ers assembled in the Court Room to
consider county organization. The
meeting was addressed by Professor
Richardson of Maryland University,
who gave very strong talk on or
ganization and on the wonderful
things that were to be obtained thru
the organization Of any class of men.
He stated that the farmers are almost
the only class that has not organized
and that until they were they would
never be able to compete with other
organized forces. He also stated
that not only from a financial stand
point was organization important, but
from an educational and social side
as well.
Many rural communities are not
being developed as they should be-
cause their community has never had
. real active leader. The same corr
munity may never have had the op-
poftunity of good education due to
the lack of this leadership.
Mr.. Jenkins, State Boys Club Ag-
ent Of Maryland University, discuss
cd how boys club work could be Of
help to the county organization and
in turn how the county organization
could assist the boys clubs. He point
ed to the fact that through many
club organizations, boys were realiz-
ing the Importance of good fellow
ship with each other in business re
!ations as we'll as community spirit.
A temporary organization was eff
fccted and nominating committees
and constitution al d bylaws commit
tees were appointed, these committees
to meet and select from all sections
of the county the men best suited to
represent agriculture as officers of
this association.
These committees will meet at 1
o'clock on Tuesday afternoon, March
list, and will have ready for the farm
ers' meeting at 2 o'clock their recon-
mendations for officers to be voted
upon by the farmers meeting.
Prof. Bomberger from Maryland
University will he present to assist
this committee in drawing up the con-
stitution and bylaws.

BAPTIST CHURCHES
DO A GOOD WORK
Many Packages Were Shipped This
Week, Their Destination Be-
ing Jugo-Slavia.

The members of the Baptist Church
and congregation have been busy col
lccting second hand clothing from the
homes to aid the suffering people Of
Europe. 1t was hoped to have per-
haps a box Of useful articles to send
but no one expected the splendid re-
sponse and success which answered
the appeal.
Last week the collected clothing
was packed at the home Of DR.. Sar-
torius. Feed sacks had been advised
as offering greater safety t han boxes
against thieves. Instead of one box
the workers were astonished to find
nine sacks were required. This week
a few more things appeared making
a tenth sack. Upon this amount was
rIaced an estimated value of tw
hundred dollars.
The people of the Pitts Creek
Church were also interested but
thought very little secondhand cloth
ing could be found as farming people
wear out their garments more thor
oughly than folks in town. However
the canvassers~w went to work and were
well repaid. Some members, findinG
little clothing TO give, contributed
money to be used in purchasing new
clothing. Thanks to the generous in
tcrcst of our merchants, this money
was invested to very good advantage
in warm hosiery, sweaters and other
articles. When packed there were 3
sacks on which was placed an esti-
r,ated value of two hundred and nine
dollars. One aggressive merchant Mr..
Givarz gave several articles.
The total number of sacks wera
sent to New York city this week fol
Jugo-Slavia.
Among the things listed from POGO
moke City are: go mems coats, rs
women's ocats, sweaters, 48 pairs OF
s. oes, 81 children's dresses, 26 of
l' siery, l shawl, l quilt, and other
articles in proportion.
Among the things listed from Pitts
Creek are: Fl mems coats, 27 ladies
coats, mans suit, 8 ladies' suits, 6
ladies dresses, 5 children's dresses, l
sweater suit for child, infants coat
5 sweaters, 27 pairs of hosiery, &

blanket, and other articles in proper
tion.

FIRE DESTROYS
HOUSE in SNOW Hill
The irwin Home In Snow Hill De.
stroyed By Fire Friday Night
OF Last Week.

Fire, the origin of which is un-
known, completely destroyed the Ir-
win home in Snow Hill Friday night
of last week. When first discovered
shortly after IL o'clock by Mrs. John
l.. Mock, who lives next door, the
building was in flames. Due to
trouble with telephone wires there
was some delay in giving the alarm,
and the flames had gained such head
way that the entire building soon
burned to the ground.
With the exception of two chairs
and a davenport the interior furnish
ings were completely destroyed
While there are rumors of incendiar-
ism, due to the fact that the building
was unoccupied, it seems impossible
to detremine the origin of the fire

PUSS IN BOOTS JR.
BY David Cory.

III you can catch the little mouse
mat scampers all about the house
III sure You can with thread and min
MAKE a cap out Of her skin.
NoW, I'm sure l don't know why
started on this story with this LITTLE
poem for I'm not going to tell Won anv.
tnlng about a little house nor a IitfIe
mouse nor how to thread a pin with a
piece of thread.
nat was going to say was that one
gay as Puss trudged along he found a
ueautliui red flower, half open, and as
the wind blew across it's petals thew
slowly opened and presently they drifted
away 1t was the blossom called Amen.
o-ne' or Wind Flower. So Puss picked
up one OF the fallen petals and placed II
IN MS pocket; and then, all of a sudden,
ne could understand what the wind was
saying So he sat down to listen. and
this Is what 1t said
once upon a time, many years ago.
there lived a handsome youth named
Adonis, who was beloved by the goddess
venus. And one day, while hunting the
wild boar, the animal whom he had
wounded with his spear, rushed AT him
and, having no other weapon, the youth
was forced to turn and fee. But soon
the wild boar overlook him and killed
him with his great tusks.
Now, at that moment, the goddess
venus was driving through the air in
her chariot drawn by white swans and.
looking down upon the earth. she beheId
her beloved Adonis lying upon the grass.
And when she reached his side, great
was her grief to find him dead.
Alas, my beaut' full Adonis.' she cried.
Your blood that sprinkles the ground
shall be changed into a crimson flower
and in less than an hours time there
sprang up flower as red as blood" And
then the wind hushed its voice, and only
the hum of bees was heard But still
little Puss remained quiet. And pres
emily the wind began TO speak again.
80 whenever I find this flower In bud
blow upon its petals, and when It opens
| whisper in its heart.
Dream on in your lowery sleep, Oh
beautiful Adonis, for she loves you and
then the petals take wing to find her,
the lovely Venus. And that is why
people call this blood red blossom Wind
Flower, for it seeks to find love on the
wings Of the wind
And then once more the voice Of the
wind grew still and the trees ceased TO
move their leafy branches, and Puss
awoke, az from n dream. And perhaps
he had fallen asleep. Who knows. For
few of US have heard the voice Of the
wind.
Oh, the voice Of the wind as It sings to
sleep
The birds in the forest cool and deep,
And the woolley lamb by It's mothers
side,
And the little starfsh by the oceans tide,
Sings a song to me in a dream,
Which / forget In the mornings CLEAN.

Aside from the fact that Basil kings
story is presented with an all-star cast,
and that a whole year Of work was spent
upon 1t to make it technically perfect,
THIS picture has a plot different to any
that has ever been attempted before. For
that reason "Earthbound" aroused wide
spread discussion, not only among crit
les, but the theater- going public in the
two cities where It has been shown.
The fact that the story carries the pas
sion-swept destlnies Of 3 faithless man
and a seductive woman even into the
life beyond, gave rise to much specula-
ton as to the plausibllity Of such a
theory and the object Of Mr.. King in
writing It.
But whether they found solution or
not. all confessed that they were held
spellbound by the intensely dramatic man
ner In which the subject was presented.
As to the object, Mr.. King admits frankly
that in writing "Esrthbound" he was
concerned merely with writing the best
story he knew how to write, without
wishing to preach.
