CITIZENS MEETING
LAST SATURDAY NIGHT
Discuss Pocomoke-Stockton Road.
Senator Orlando Harrison Pres
ent At Conference.

A largely attended and enthusias-
tic meeting was held in the Firemen's
Room in the Municipal Building or
Saturday evening last at which the
building of the gap in the Pocomoke-
Stockton State Highway was literally
discussed. This meeting was largely
attended, in fact few meetings of the
kind have attracted such wide-sprea
attention. Persons from the town
were there by the scores and the res
idents along the highway turned out
in large numbers. All were deeply
interested in the project and express
ed themselves in no uncertain tones
as to what they would expect of tie
authorities during the present year.
Our people thought it wise to hat c
Senator Harrison present so he was
called up by phone and asked to be on
hand. He readily agreed to the prop
osition, as he usually does in such
cases, and was at the hall at the ap-
pointed hour. Mr.. j. Shiles Crockett
acted as chairman and announced
The object of the meeting. Speeches
were made by number of represen-
tative men from the town and they
all bore out the argument that it was
but fair that this section of road
should be completed this year. 1t will
be remembered that this was the first
piece Of State highway started in this
section of the county and unless
something happens to change the
trend of things it will be the last t.
be completed. This fact has caused
our people to become a little worried
and justly 50 we believe. 1t was in
the hope of so impressing the State
authorities Of the necessity Of the
speedy completion of the road that
the meeting was held.
After the matter had been thor
oughly discussed from all angles; the
chairman was instructed to get in
touch with the State Roads Commls-
sion and request that this section O.
road be the first to be completed in
their work in Worcester during the
present year. Senator Harrison made
a brief speech and in the course of his
remarks assured the people of this
section that he would do his best to
secure the construction of the road
this year. The matter will also have
the best attention of the representa-
tive in the House of Delegates from
this section of the county and we feel
sure the other delegates in the House
will join in the movement to press
the matter to a successful issue.
Senator Harrison also read bill
that he had prepared for the taking
care of the dirt roads of the state and
this was generally discussed. GU"
people favored many of the provis-
ions of the bill and gave their en-
dorsement to most of it. Senator
Harrison stated that some corrections
would necessarily have to be made in
it before he introduced it in the Sen
ate and that our people would be Civ
en- full opportunity to study the meas
ure before he attempted to bring
about it's passage.

NEW YORK.-And occasionally
one finds on the newest of frocks
something reminiscent of the days
when a bertha fluttered at the
shoulders OF every gown that laid
any claim to smartness.
This Claire frock OF palest laven-
der Canton crepe wears a two TERED
semi bertha of chiffon edged and
weighted with finely pleated taffeta.
Such a shoulder treatment natu-

Little Stories For Bedtime

WHAT HAD BECOME OF PETER
RABBIT


Where the old brush pile had been
Ain the Green Forest sat Buster Bear,
laughing so that he had to hold his
sides. Up in tall pine tree close by
sat Hooty the Owl. He had been
laughing, but he had stopped now.
disappointment had taken the place
OF laughter. 1t had been very funny
to see Old Man Coyote and Reudy
and Granny Fox ducking and dodg-
ing and twisting and turning as they
tried to get out Of the way OF the
flying sticks as Buster Bear tore the
old brush pile to pieces. II had been
all the funnier because Hooty knew
that while they were watching out
for flying sticks they couldn't be
watching out for Peter Rabbit who,
[ everybody. or nearly everybody, sup
posed was hiding under the pile of
brush. and so he would be almost
sure to catch Peter when he should
run out.
But now. the last bit OF brush had
been scattered and there was no
Peter Rabbit. and Hooty was too
much disgusted and disappointed to
laugh any more. OF course. Old Man
Coyote and Reddy and Granny Fox
didn't see anything to laugh at. ln-
deed. they were too angry to laugh
at anything. Then, too. the joke was
.on them, and you know it is always
Very hard to laugh at joke on your
self They had watched all day 10
catch Peter Rabbit when he should
come out from under that pile OF
brush. They knew Peter was there
because Reddy had chased him there
and the others had seen him do II.
So, when just after dark Buster Bear
had come along and offered to tear
the old brush pile apart, they hadn
had the least doubt that one OF them
would catch Peter.
They hadn't seen the twinkle IN
Busters eyes as he had kept urging
J them to come closer. so that there
would be no chance for Peter to es-
cape. Then he had made the sticks
fly SO fast that they couldn't get
out OF the way OF them. Now they
were sore and lame and scratched,
and. worse still. they knew now that
Peter Rabbit had some how been TOO
smart for them. for when Buster had
oscattered the last bit of brush there
had been no sign of Peter.
From the way Buster was laugh
ing they knew now that he had
known all the time that Peter wasn't
there. and that he had kept urging
them to come closer just so that they
would be sure to be hit by those
fyine sticks when he tore the old
brush pile to pieces on them. II angry

One morning when she arrived at

been a pleasure TO meet you" and the
man, who was power in the fl
nances Of the nation, bowed himself
out.
Ruth 6ondered long over this visit.
She realized the age was a COM
mercial one. that brains were now
worth what they brought In dollars
and cents. There was no sentiment
in business. That day had passed.
The result OF her cogitation took
the form Of a request that Mr.. Carr
give her an intervi W at his earliest
convenience.
When he received the message an
anxious look swept the face Of the
president. He had. in the mysterious
way in which those things usually
leak out. heard OF the visit OF his
business competitor. Was he 10 lose
Ruth Browning now when she had
become so valuable TO him2 Lose her
in spite Of what Lang had told him?
Then another thought caused
whimsical smile to touch his lips as
the office boy announced:

"Mr. Carr. I have come to ask an
increase in my salary" Ruth said as
she accepted the invitation to sit
down.
The whimsical smile now touched
his eyes.

knowledge of what had occurred she
gave no evidence Of 1t. Then she
added:

A RELAPSE

A moving picture actor relates an
amusing incident that happened DUR
ing the filming of a certain play. in
which the actors and actresses took
the parts of roosters and hens.
The film was taken out Of doors.
and one day, while the actor was
taking a stroll, he came across q man
seated by the roadside. with his face
buried in his hands, evidently in deep
distress.
The actor stopped and asked what
the trouble was.
"Tll tell you" said the man. I'm

over yonder. Yesterday the doctor
said that / was well. and could leave

coined him to the Green Forest. Now

Of which made Buster laugh all the
more. You see, big and strong as he
is, he really is one of the best
natured fellows in the world. He
dearly loves a joke. and he will laugh
on some one else, which is the right
way to do. So the more they threat
ened the harder he laughed.
Hooty the Owl looked down at
Buster solemnly and suspiciously.
did you know all the time that
Peter Rabbit wasn't there?" he asked.
"Of course, I did" replied Buster,
when he could get his breath. DO
you suppose a great big fellow like
me would have beer mean enough to
spoil the hiding place of poor little
fellow like Peter Rabbit without giv-
ing him any chance to escape? On
my way up here / met Peter scam

he's down there now laughing in his
sleeve to think now he fooled you

And this is just where Peter was
and what he was doing.
