SATURDAY WILL
Be CIRCUS DAY HERE
Sparks Three-Ring Circus And 10th
Century Wonder Show To Ex-
hibit In Pocomoke

Hurrah for circus day! Next Satur-
day September %, will witness the
showing in Pocomoke of Sparks three
ring circus and Wonder show.
For many years the Sparks Circus
has been known as one of Americas
foremost tented enterprises. Each
year something new has been added
until now it ranks among the best of
the "Big Tops" and this season with
one of the greatest arrays of perfor-
mers, horses and equipment ever be-
fore carried, it is pronounced ban
ner one. When the show visits this
city it will be exhibited in its own
specially constructed tents. 1t is said
that the Sparks menagerie is equal to
any on the road today. A magnifi-
cent Introductory pageant and grand
revue, enlisting several hundreds of
performers, companies of horses, ele-
plants and gorgeous paraphernalia,
opens the main tent program.
This program presents many of the
worlds stars of the arenic world as
sisted by scores upon scores of others.
There are several companies of dumb
actors. Everything is given in more
lavish manner than ever before. Three
rings and an elevated stage are need
ed to take care of the acrobatic and
musical seals, the trained bears, COM
edy pigs and the famous Sparks herds
of elephants and a long list of acts
which requires nearly two hours to
present. This twentieth century Won
der circus has become one of the
greatest institutions on the road to-
day, and just as there are more men
and women, more seals and more ele-
phant actors added, so there are more
clowns, more horses, more ponies, to
delight the children, more and better
trained dogs, pigs, monkeys, bears
more of everything.
The street parade, which will pre-
cede the initial exhibition here, is far
and away the most novel ever at
tempted.

Pocon1oke Chautauqua
Closed Tuesday Night

Tuesday evening last saw the clos
ing hours of the Pocomoke Chautau-
qua for 1922. The attractions present
ed this year were up to the standard
and some are of the opinion that the
program was better than in former
years.
Due to the heavy rain of Tuesday
the association was forced to abandon
the tent for drier place in which to
hold the entertainments of the day,
SO therefore the Empire Theatre was
selected. The committee regrets that
there were a number who were unable
to gain admission to the evening per-
formance. for the closing entertain
men was one of the best of the whole
affair.
At the closing hour, the committee
announced that there had been suffi-
cient number of guarantors secured to
assure Pocomoke of Chautauqua for
next year, which announcement was
received by loud applause by all
present.

GIRLS HONORED
Three Selected To Represent State
In Girls Club Work At Camp
Vail, Massachusetts

Misses Frances Hancock of Girdle-
tree, Gladys Ball and Carolyn Ches-
ser of Pocomoke have been selected
as demonstration team to represent
the State of Maryland in girls club
work at Camp Vail, Mass, because Of
their adaptabillty. This team will
cave on Saturday morning, Scptem-
ber 10th, accompanied by Miss Lucy
j. Walter, the County Home Demon
5tration Agent, who has so successful
ly trained them. They will remain at
Camp Vail during the week of the
18th where they will be associated
with boys and girls club members
representing sixty-eight demonstra-
tion and Judging teams selected from
the thirteen eastern States.
This camp is in conjunction with
the Eastern States Exposition, one of
the largest educational institutions on
the Am nrican continent with the fame
of its attractions worldwide.
The camp is under the direction
of Mr.. Milton Danzinger of the Field
and Extension Staff of the U. S. De-
patment of Agriculture. The expense
Of these teams will be paid by the
Exposition and their stay made pleas
ant in every respect. Club exhibits
given at camp will portray practices
used by club members directed CO.
operatively by the u. S. Department
and the State Agricultural Extension
Service. Daily demonstrations by the
various teams will be witnessed by
the visitors to the Exposition and
camp.
Worcester county should be proud
to have this waning team come from
her midst as it is no doubt the great
est honor that has been bestowed up
en- our rural girls.
The Eastern Shore is becoming ia
nous in boys and girls club work,
since it may be recalled that the boys
club cattle judging team from Cecil
county after winning National champ
ionship at st. Paul's and Atlantic,
carried off world-wide honors this
summer at the Royal livestock Show
in England.

Win Nominations For Senate
And Congress In Mondays
Primary Election
SMALL VOTE IN POCOMOKE
AND WORCESTER COUNTY

The primary election in Pocomoke
last Monday passed off without ans'
great excitement, except on the part
of the practical politicians of bott
parties, who were very generally in
terested in the outcome, while the
rank and file of the people showed
very little interest in the whole affair,
as was evident by the small number of
votes which were poled by both par
ties.
Mr.. William Cabell Bruce, of Bal
timore city, secured the Democratic
nomination for the U. S. Senatorship,
defeating David j. Lewis, Of Allie
ghany county and William l. Norris,
of Baltimore.
Senator Joseph l. France secured
The Republican nomination for the L.
S. Senatorship, defeating Mr.. John
w. Garrett, of Baltimore,
Nh. T. Alan Goldsborough, of Caro-
line county, defeated Alexander M.
Jackson and A. W. Sisk for the Dem
ocratic nomination for representa-
tive in Congress from the First Dis
trict of Maryland.
There was no contest in the first
district by the republicans and they
have not yet named a candidate to
onnosa Mr.. GoldsborOugh
In Worcester county and Pocomokc
City substantial majorities were roll
cd up for Mr.. Bruce and Mr.. Colds
borough. The Democratic organiza-
ton was backing these two candid
atcs and the opposition did very little
;,ctive work against them. In POGO
moke there was a furry for Norris
end Sisk, but here, also, the organiza-
tion won out with over hundred ma
jority for both candidates.
The Republicans in Worcester OPP
posed to the organization carried the
county for Mr.. Garrett over Mr..
France by small majority.
Mr.. Bruce has secured the nomina-
ton for the Senatorship, and Mr.
Goldsborough the nomination for Con-
eress, and, no matter what may have
been the lining up of voters for the
several candidates on Monday last, it
is now the duty of all democrats who
believe in their party, and its princl-
pies, to abide Loyalty by the decision
of the majority and support the tick
ct as named by the votes of those
who took the trouble to go to the
polls. When a primary is duly and
legally held, all the members of the
party which is concerned in the out
come, whether they vote or not, II
they are really party men IN any
strict sense of the term, are morally
tound by the result, whether they
have voted or not, and whether they
approve of the successful candidates
or not. For those who are believers
in party government to take any 9th
or position, would be subversive of
every theory on which our system OF
government is based, and the only ex-
cuse a party voter can have for dis
regarding the result Of primary
election, is the notorious unfitness OF
the successful candidate.

MISSOURI'S FIRST
WOMEN LEGISLATORS

When the Missouri State legisla-
ture convenes at Jefferson City in
January Kansas City will be repre-
sented for the first time by woman,
Miss Sarah Lucille Turner. Miss
Turner was elected from the 9Th Mis-
souri district by a majority of more
than nine hundred votes over her Re
publican opponent, Eugene w. Col
vile.
Miss Turner was too happy this
morning to speak very seriously Of
her election and her duties as repre-
sentative. When one is young and
pretty woman, just out of law school,
and Just been elected to help make
the laws Of the state, ones emotions
pardonably may be just little mixed.
'T don't want to be thought a
freak or 'reformer," said she. II
think my viewpoint naturally is diff
ferent from that of the men legisla-
tors, but I'm going to try and play the
game just as sensibly as the men do.
/ expect I will be approached by a
great many women interested in bills
Of various kinds. I, myself, am par
ticularly interested in welfare laws
for women and children. l shall look
forward to investigating and consid-
ering all such matters that are sug-
gested to me-"
Miss Turner is the daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. George w. Turner, 202
South jackson avenue. She was grad
uated in June from Kansas City
school Of law.
st. Louis, Nov. S.-St Louis Coun-
ty is almost certain of being repre-
sented in the next general assembly
of Missouri by woman.
Mrs. Edward T. Smith, Democrat,
apparently has been elected from the
second district. With four missing
precincts, Mrs. Smith has lead of
approximately one thousand over her
Republican opponent, John Eggers.
Mrs. Smith was supported by the
clean election league, which played a
big part in the election in st. Louis

DIR. TYDINGS BADLY
BURNED LAST FRIDAY

DIR. E. E. Tydings, a local well
known dentist, was badly burned
last Friday evening about 6 o'clock
when some gasoline he was using
caught fire.
The doctor was in his laboratory
cleaning some receptacles of COM
pounds which they contained when
all at once the flames shot up from
the pans. He, had a small torch
burning nearby and it is thought
the fumes from the gasoline were ig-
nited from this.
The doctor was all alone when the
accident happened. His assistants
and DR.. A. w. EMS who offices with
him, had gone.
Tydings threw the burning pan
in a sink and then rushed to the
coat room and wrapped himself in a
coat which extinguished the flames.
The doctors right arm was badly
burned and he burned his left hand
severely trying to extinguish the
fire. He swallowed a little of the
smoke, but not enough to hurt, it is
thought.
DIR. EMS is taking care of the doc
tors patients while he will have to
refrain from work.-Moberly Demo-

DR.. GEORGE STILL SHOOTS
HIMSELF ACCIDENTALLY

DR.. George A. Still, president of the
American School of Ostepathy at
Kirksville, and one Of the best known
surgeons. in the United States, ac-
cidently killed himself, at 10:30
o'clock last night.
The tragic accident occurred in the
long barn on his place on Ostepathy
Avenue. This barn is used as place
where social events in connection with
the school are given.
Last, night DR.. Still and his wife
entertained the nurses and intenes.
Just before the guests left, DR.. Still
was showing an automatic revolver
to his wife and few friends.
While his wife stood at the door
saying goodnight to departing guests
DR.. Still dropped the revolver out of
his hand onto the concrete floor. AS
he was picking it up it was dis
charged the bullet entering his head,
killing him instantly.
At the time of the accident all of
the guests had left the room with the
exception Of DIR. Monteith, an in
terne, and two students. Mrs. Still
was standing at the door. She scream
ed to the guests that an accident had
happened and they returned.
The three eye-witnesses state that
DR.. Still had been telling them that
he had heard prowelers around the
night before.
DR.. Still and his wife had planned
series of four parties for the stu
dent groups of the institution, the
first Of which was given last night,
and the day before he had placed in
the loft ten turkeys and six geese,
which were to be used at these par
ties, which may have been the object
of the visit of the providers.
Earlier in the evening DR.. Still had
injured a forefinger while iplacing a
log on the fireplace. This injury
caused clumsy handling of the auto
matte, and is possibly responsible for
his death. The bullet entered his
left cheek and penetrated the brain.
A corners inquest was held, and by
testimony of the eye-witnesses the
verdict was accidental death.
News of the tragedy, which took
away so useful a man, was received in
Moberly with great regret and per-
sonal loss as both DR.. and Mrs. Still
have numerous friends here.
Mrs. Still was four years president
of the State Federation Of Women's
Clubs and as such has a wide ac-
! quaintence throughout Missouri.
The A. s. o. was closed today and
will remain closed until Monday.
The funeral service will be held
at the Christian Church Sunday af-
ternoon, conducted by Rev. F. w.
Conditt, dean of the A. S. O, and for
mer pastor of the church.-Moberly
