POCOMOKE WINS
FIRST BALL GAME
Lifts Scalp OF Newark By 10 Score
In Brilliantly Played Game
On Thursday.
LARGE CROWD PRESENT AT
OPENING OF NEW BALL PARK

Thursday last was a red letter day
for the base ball enthusiasts of this
city as we'll as from all sections of
the county, it marking the opening of
the new base ball park in this city.
AS had been advertised the contesting
teams were those of Newark and Po-
comoke City. The lineup on each side
was strong one and the game prov
ed to be one of the most interesting
ever played in this section. 1t was
hard fought battle from start to
finish as was evidenced by the score.
which was l to 0 in favor of the POGO
nioke team, and while excellent play
ing and good team work was display
co all through it is fact that the
game was won in the first inning.
Knode led off for Pocomoke, beat out
a walk to first, stole second, took third
on a sacrifice hit by Schriver and
scored on Turlington's infeld hit to
third. This was the only run scored
during the game.
Those who are managing the base
ball enterprise this season are much
encouraged by the opening event. The
game had not been advertised very
extensively and notwithstanding this
fact the crowd was very large one,
it being estimated that around thou
sand persons were present. The
bleachers were filled to their capacity
and in many sections standing room
was at premium. The grounds are
in excellent shape and it is said that
the diamond and It's surroundings are
equal to, if not better than any on the
shore. The park is entirely enclosed
by high and substantial fence and it
is now being arranged to build
grand stand at once in order that the
anticipated crowds may be taken care
of in the best manner possible. 1t is
expected that at least two games will
be played in this city each and every
weekand our boys will cross bats with
many of the best teams on tn penin-
sula. 1t is our intention to We our
readers each week the sci Iule of
games for the following wee so that
they may know just what ans are
to contest and the dates on which the
games will occur. Every Pocomokian
will be rooter for our home team
and it is hoped that they will come out
with flying colors at the end of the
season. The line up for Thursdays
game was as follows:

Il BELIEVE" and THE
TREE OF KNOWLEDGE"
These Are Two Of The Pictures
That Will Be Shown At Empire
Theatre Next Week.

The billboards of the Empire Thea
tre next week will display advertising
matter announcing the coming of four
superb photo plays, two of which the
writer cannot recommend too strong
ly-"T Believe" and "The Tree of
Knowledge" which come on Thurs
cay and Friday nights.
On the first two nights Signe Pat
erson, the celebrated dancer and the
Hawaiian review in connection with
the photoplay "The Woman Untam-
Cd" will be the attractions, full partic-
u'ars Of which will be found in an ad-
,ertisemcnt elsewhere this issue.
"a Ridin' Romeo" featuring the
dare devil actor Tom Mix,which was
advertised to be shown two weeks
ago but was side tracked, will be the
attraction on Wednesday. This is a
" iliam Fox picture. with Tom Mix.
'Nuff said.
The really big photoplay feature of
the week will come on Thursday when
the powerful cinema spectacle "I
Believe" will be displayed. To ev-
eryone who saw "The Miracle Man."
we will say that this picture was pro-
duccd by George Loane Tucker, and
that in itself is enough TO insure ev-
erything good that can be said about
it. 1t is a powerful drama for good
founded on the true religion and has
an all-star cast.
"The Tree of knowledge" which
will be another big attraction at the
Empire on Friday is declared to have
that rare combination of highly dra-
matte and entertaining story, talent
co star and fine supporting cast, and
expert director that results in the
really unusual photoplay. The men
tion of such players as Kathlyn Will
Jams, Wanda Hawley, Tom Forman
and Irving Cummings establishes the
cast as far above the ordinary.
Frank Mayo is known wherever
pictures are shown and on Saturday
lie will be seen in a Universal specia
production entitled Colorado" Muci
has been said and written about botl
this famous star and state, and from
advance reports on this production
much more will be said after seeint
this picture next Saturday.

MIR. EDWARD F. BROWN
dies In new MEXICO
Known To Many Pocomoke People,
Having Visited Here Upon
Several Occasions.

A telegram was received by the ed
itor of this paper this week announc-
ing the death of his brother-in-law,
Mr.. Edward F. Brown, which occur
red at Tucumcari, New Mexico, on
Monday last. Mr.. Brown was a
brother of the late Mrs. Ora E..
Crockett, and during her lifetime
made several visits TO our town and
formed many warm acquaintances,
and the news Of mis- death will be re-
ceived by them with much regret.
Mr.. Brown was born in Loudon
county, Va. Just before gaining his
majority he moved with his parents
to Charlottesville and was educated
al the University of Virginia. He
started out life as a school teacher
but later secured a position with the
Government in the Civil Service De-
partment at the National Capital. A
few years ago his health began to fail
and having influential friends in
Washington, he was advised to go to
New Mexico in the hope of being ben
ehtted. This he consented to do and
he was given good paying position
in the Land Office at Tucumcari,
position he held until his death.
Mr.. Brown was gentleman and
Christian in all the words imply. We
have never seen or known more
amiable disposition or sweeter char
acter, and with those who are sitting
under the shadow we shed tears at
his passing.
He was unmarried and leaves one
brother and sister-Mr. George w.
Brown, of Pennsylvania, and Miss
Florra L. Brown, of Richmond, Va,
both of whom are hurrying across the
continent now to be present at the
funeral which will occur in Tucum-
carl on Sunday.

SIGNE PATERSON WELL
KNOWN AMONG BEST
World Famed Dancer Coming Here
Next Monday and Tuesday.
Also Hawaiian Orchestra.

One might walk up and down Mar
kct street in Pocomoke City, asking
people if they knew Signe Paterson,
and unless they were followers of
n e=ropolitan theatricals they would
sLake their heads.
But in New York City, in Paris, or
in London you might mention her
rame and be surprised at the fervcr
or appreciation. "Magnicque" the
Frenchman would shout. "My word,
4 wondah!' the Londoner would ex-
claim. "A smiling slice of flame" the
expressive New Yorker would re-
mark. Also in Newport where she
taught society how to dance; in Swe
ren, where she was principal dancer
in the Kings court; aye, at Washing
ton where recently she was presented
to the President.
This leads us to the climax: She is
coming to Pocomokc; she will appear
here in person in a repertoire of Hin
du, Egyptian and Hawaiian dances at
the Empire Theatre on Monday and
Tuesday nights, June 20 and Fl in
conjunction with the showing of the
greatest photoplay sensation of the
age "The Woman Untamed" fasci-
mating South Sea Island story featur-
ing Doraldina.
The Royal Hawaiian Orchestra, a
troupe of native Hawaiian ukulele
players, singers and dancers will also
appear in person with the showing OF
"The Woman Untamed" photoplay.
Miss Paterson and the Royal Ha-
waiians furnish prologue to the pic
ture.
Ralph Geryers will present this un-
usual show. When he was in this
city recently he declared that what
ever promises might be made the
people as to the merit of the enter
tainment, ne will make those prom
good,

ADVERTISING in THE
WEEKLY PAPERS PAYS
This Is What A Sales Manager OF
Big New York Concern Writes
Editor Of This Paper.

That the value of the weekly news
paper as an advertising medium is
fully recognized and appreciated by
scores of advertisers is attested by
the letter received last week by the
Worcester Democrat from Mr.. c. S.
Andrews, sales manager for Longman
& Martinez, nationally known paint
firm of New York. The letter follows
"You no doubt will be interested to
hear that our direct orders for l.. &
NJ. Semi Paste Paint, exceed previous
years by 110 per cent for the same
perion of time.
"This large increase confirms our
Judgment that the weekly newspaper
which circulates among the local mer-
chants customers, is the most salts
factory advertising medium to pull
business for the advertiser.
"The business pulling power of the
weekly newspaper is in our opinion
due to it's keeping in close touch with
its town people-their habits and
ways-that its part of their life; and
becomes welcome number of the
household, and read by all.
"That your paper has been an i'm
pcrtant factor in our success, should
b, very gratifying to you, as it is to
u.s."

TO POOL WOOL
FOR. SHIPMENT
Thursday, June 23d Has Been Set
Apart As The Day For FARM
ers To Pool Their Wool.

Thursday morning June % has beer
set apart as the day for pooling the
wool in the Worcester county wool.
to-blanket campaign.
Farmers having wool that they de-
sire to have made into blankets will
take the wool to Snow Hill where a
place will be provided by the County
Agent for pooling and packing the
same.
The conditions under which this
campaign is conducted are very SINH
lar to those of last year. For each
ten pounds of wool in the grease a
pair of all wool, double blankets, Tx
81, can be made. For each blanket a
deposit of $5.75 is required. SIS Of
this amount is to cover the cost of
manufacture and rs cents to cover the
overhead charges, such as freight and
express.
Automobile robes may be manufac-
tured from 8 pounds of wool and a
deposit of $4.35, Sd to cover the man.
ufacture and 35 cents freight and ov-
erhead charges.
The manufacturing charges on both
blankets and robes will not leave the
county until after the wool has been
received at the factory and blankets
made.
The blankets and robes will be of
the same style and quality as those
received last year. A selection may
be made after looking over samples at
the County Agents office.
In order to avoid expense and extra
handling, farmers are requested to
pack their wool in large bags
Quantities of fifty pounds or less can
be packed in large two hundred
pound bran sack. Larger quantities
may be packed by sewing two bran
sacks together, which will enable one
hundred pounds or more, properly
packed, to be put in one package.
While the Extension Department.
through tile County Agent, will not
hold itself responsible for the sale OF
any of these blankets, farmers will be
assisted in the sale of same wherever
it is possible at SLIPS per pair for
blankets and $8.75 for automobile
robes, thus netting them 55c per
pound for their wool.

Worcester Democrat:

Editor Worcester Democrat:
IS a regular reader of your paper
and as a man jealous for the advance
nent of our Lords Kingdom I feel
that I've a message that / want to
get to the readers of your paper.
/ want to say that was thorough
II stirred and enthusiased as read
your interesting issue of the last two
weeks.
Week before last there were reports
Of the splendid Commencement exer-
ci;es that were held in the county,
these events which mark an epoch in
the lives of our most. brilliant young
people always stir up within us a
spirit of Pride and of Admiration as
we look on while they are graduated
and presented with their diplomas.
AT such times We are wont to spec
ulate as to their future and influence
upon the affairs of their community,
State and Nation.
Next came the last weeks issue lit
orally bubbling over with Base Ball
enthusiasm. 1t appears that plans
are on foot to give Worcester people
some good Base Ball entertainment
and no doubt those VINO are promoting
the plans will receive hearty support
Many who will read this article
doubtless will remember that l used
to play ball great deal and that none
were more enthusiastic than l, and
shall no doubt be spectator at
some of the games this season, but
here is the Burden of my Message
Why is it, that we the Christian peo-
pie of this county, VINO have got de-
cidedly the best proposition of any OF
them can not put spirit of the same
quality and degree of enthusiasm into
our Sunday Schools of this county.
Estimate if you can the benefits
that would accrue to the Church and
also to the young people if the great
surging tide of their energy and en-
thusiasm could be harnessed and turn
e6 toward Sunday School and Church
development.
Please say to the Young people OF

Worcester County Sunday School AS

1t invites every young person of this
county to come in and take part. II
rrges you to rally to it's program fol
the mutual benefit of yourself ane

Other Automobiles
Take A Tumble.

Automobiles are still declining in
price as will be evidenced by our ad-
vertising columns this week. Added
to the number noted last week are the
Cleveland and the Paige. This makes
seven automobile ads that we are
running and all of them have reduced
their prices. 1t would seem that the
level has now been reached and those
intending to buy can now do so with
the assurance that they are getting
the best prices for the present year.

young merchants has been ill in an
hospital in Baltimore for the past
ten days or two weeks, but we are
glad to report that he is now on the
road to recovery, at least that is what
