little food in the home.
Unable to bury the bodies, Atchimo
left them in the shack with the five
other children while he set out on
snow shoes to fetch the nearest neigh
Dor, 80 miles away. Two days later
Atchimo came back with John Hin
goosh, the neighbor. The five hungry
tots were chewing raw moose flesh for
nourishment. They had burned most
of the furniture to keep from freezing.
The bodies of their parents were froZ-
en- stiff.
The younger children were packed
on the dog sled by Hingoosh and Atch-
imo, who then began the long march
TO Watcomb where they were fed and
given medical aid. 1t is feared the

Mr.. Beauchamp and Miss Walter;
as principles in their act looked very
comfortable indeed, while in their
dreams romantic visions appeared to
them. Too much credit cannot be
given Mrs. Gordy in her solo, and tile
same to Mr.. Ross. Both these have
really fine voices. Both showed fine
appreciation of their themes, and put
into their renditions an abandon not
often seen in amateur roles.
Their interpretations showed real
musical and dramatic grasp. POGO
moke is fortunate in having such tai
ent. The fairies were interesting as
these little tots always are. If any
unfavorable criticism could be made of
this scene, it is that, while the color
ing of the lights was extremely har-
monious, they lacked brilliancy IN
throwing the characters out in strong
enough relief. An audience wishes to
see as well as to hear, and to the writ
er, the stage was somewhat dim then
and also at other times. But this is

feature of the Hawaiian social life,
was very, very, creditable. 1t has
been done worse very frequently by
professionals.
The whole performance was ably
supported by the Pocomoke Orchestra
consisting of Miss Madge Tull, Will
lam Wedelin, James Stevenson, Roger
r. Vincent and Harry R. Dixon. These
PEOPLE showed rare proficiency and
lent additional interest to the even
ing's entertainment.
Taken altogether, the entertainment
was extremely creditable. The East
ern Star can be congratulated in en-
listing such capable material in its
behalf. The Wheeler Producing Com
pany must have known just what to
oo in order to do it so well. However,
so7ssasmust have material to work with,
il, order to ensure success. Pocomoke
City, we think lavished world of ma
terial on the Wheeler Producing Co.
We predict they will not find better
wherever they go.
The public manifested their interest
by giving packed houses both nights,
and we are sure the organization
profted we'll financially.
Such nights as these are valuable to
the life of a community. Human ma
tire has always craved entertainment,
ard when that craving can be satisfied
by such clean, wholesome, evenings of
song, fun, and scenic attractions, then
VIC are all better off. Let us have
more of them.

their duet, certainly portrayed to a
nicety-the Japanese character. Mr.
Hastings voice seemed well adapted
to the somewhat minor notes of the
Celestial music. The tableau of tea
drinking was instructive as well as
Pleasing, and those present were fav
cred with some insight into eastern
life and custome.
In "The Girl of My Dreams" Mr..
Bowen had plenty of opportunity to
reveal the depths and purity of his fine
baritone voice. And if the girl of his
dreams was anything like those who
passed in review while he sang, he
surely was one fortunate man. To
those who are acquainted with them,
is it natural to suppose that one poor
mortal was ever permitted to bask in
the sunlight of such specimens OF
femininity as appeared that night ?

US for him, since she married some
one else. But he is married too, so
u ats that. The act was bea, +iful in
its setting, and the electrically lighted
swing was the particular feature.
The last act, "a Night in Hawaii"
was well produced by song and instru
II entail music. Few towns can boast
o. as skillful mandolin and guitar per-
formers as the Merrill boys. And the
tones they call forth from these in
struments seem to harmonic perfect
ly with the weird nature of Hawaiian
themes. These boys were well assist
ed by Mr.. Wilfred Ross, and James
Schoolfield, and the chorus Of singers
was we'll chosen. The costumes were
representative, and again we were in
troduced to a phase of foreign life
and manners as valuable in the wav
of history as it was pleasia me
way of a nights entertainment.
Too much can not be said of the
portrayal of the Hawaiian dance by
Miss Margaret Bowen. Her costume
was perfect in it's reproduction of the
native dress, and her dance was Won
derful in it's grace and beauty. One
might suppose she had seen it given
in its real abode, so true was it. Even

that could be desired, still her grasp

The Telephone Con,pany's
Obligations

The object and the obligation of public utility
is to furnish service This obligation, as it applies
to the telephone company, that it shall fur
nish at all times good, dependable service service
that is good not only from technical standpoint,
but that is satisfactory from the standpoint of the
patron.
Telephone service embraces a variety of opera
tons; the installation of telephones and changes in
locations telephone operating; maintenance of the
central Office equipment, outside plant and tee-
phone apparatus; accurate and up-todate directory
listings; billing; collecting and numerous other
things that must be done to give service that will
be complete and satisfactory.
1t is the aim of the management to keep in
mind at all times these obligations. To fulfill them
satisfactorily is necessary that the revenues re-
ceived for its service will be sufficient to pay the
expenses of operation and yield fair return on the
value of the property used in the service. This re-
turn is the money paid to investors upon whom the
Company must depend for capital to build and
expand it's system.
Notwithstanding our aim to give the highest
possible standard of service, we realize that at
times difficulties will arise Usually they are
quickly remedied. But defects at times occur
which, in spite of our watchfuness, are not innme-
diately detected.
Our patrons will confer favor upon us if they
will advise Immediately of such occurrences.
Or, if they may have at any time suggestions or
criticism which they think may lead to better tee-
phone SERVICE will be grateful if these are made
known to us.
