Mrs. Frank B. Matthews
Condition Improved

The friends of Mrs. Frank B. Mat
thews We're shocked about two weeks
ago to learn that she was compelle :.
to undergo an operation at the Church
Home and Infrmary in Baltimore and
since that time they have been anx
ious as to her condition. On January
the 25th she was. operated on by Dr..
Thomas S. Cullen and for a week or
more she was critically i'll. Two in
cissions were made; fifty stones were
taken from the gall bladder and the
appendix, which was badly inflamed,
also removed. Reports from her condi-
tion this week are to the effect that
she is much improved and although
she will be subjected to about fou'
weeks more of hospital experience
still it is expected that she will be ar.
entirely we'll woman when discharged
from the institution. This will be a
bit of appreciative news to her many
friends in this city and county, as
we'll as elsewhere in the State:

Whale AT Ocean City
Attracts Attention

AS was stated in our last issue a
large whale was washed ashore on the
beach at Ocean City in the storm of
February Sd and 4th, and since that
time the city by the sea has been dis
tnctly on the map. Since he came
ashore thousands of persons have
made their way to Ocean City to take
a look at his whaleship. Sunday last
proved to be the big day for sight
seers and as matter of fact sever
al thousand persons took in the sight.
The day was very disagreeable
hut this did not stop the crowds in the
least. A continual string of automo-
biles were on the road from early
morn until nightfall, carrying anxious
persons to the beach. The road be-
tween Berlin and Ocean City really
reminded one of the good old summer
time when the people of the peninsu-
la wend their way to the popular re-
sort in search of cool breezes.

.RATTI IS ELECTED POPE;
TO Be CROWNED SUNDAY
Takes Name OF Plus XI.-American
Cardinal Arrives Too Late To
Participate In Voting.

Cardinal Achille Ratti, Archbishop
of Milan, has been chosen Supreme
Pontiff of the Roman Catholic Church
to succeed the late Pope Benedict XIV.
His coronation as Plus XI will take
place February IL.
The new Pope is 65 years old and
was made a cardinal only last June
10th.
After the announcement of his cleo
tion the Pope appeared on the outside
balcony of st. Peters and bestowed
the benediction on the thousands who
had waited patiently in the rain in s..
Peters Square-the first time this
has occurred since the breach between
the state and the church in 1870. For
So years the blessing has been be-
slowed from within the Basilica.
The election was completed without
American participation in the con
clave, Cardinal O'Connell, Archbishop
of Boston, arriving at the moment
the new Pope was blessing the multi
tude.
As soon as the two-thirds vote for
Cardinal Ratti had been verified, Car
dinal Vannutelli, as dean of the Sa-
cred College, arose and proceeded TO
the throne of the chosen one, accom-
panied on either side by Cardinals
Logue and Bisleti, respectively, deans
of the cardinal priests and the cardi-
nal deacons. He was asked in Latin
by Cardinal Vannutelli, in accordance
with custom, if he accepted the elec-
tion to be supreme Pontiff, and the
new Pope answered with the formal
"Since it is the will of God, | must
obey"

THE LEGISLATURE AS
VIEWED BY THE EDITOR
Baltimore Given Greater RepresentatonFe Statewide
Measures Acted Upon But Several Bills Of Local
Nature Have Been Passed.

that will give Baltimore greater rep
resentation.
The law enforcement bill, the ques-
ton that never dies, still holds a
prominent position ON the stage. 1t
was thought that an effort would be
made to force the bill out of the COM
rlittee the early part of the week but
the leaders of the movement thought
it best not to make the attempt as an
effort of that kind might jeopardize
it's interests. From what the writer
can understand there will be few of
the teeth pulled out of the bill before
it gets the required votes to insure
it's passage. This does not mean that
the bill will not be passed; it simply
means that a few of the Objectionable
features will be taken out.
The opponents of race-track gamb-
ling had their first hearing before the
Senate Finance Committee on Tues
day afternoon, following presentation
of their claims in the House last
week. The measure they are spon-
soring is that introduced by Senator
Byrn, of Dorchester county, which
will eliminate all betting on Mary
land tracks, from which the State
now derives 100000 annually in
revenues. No one can tell at this
writing just what the fate of this i'm
portant measure will be.
Governor Richie still remains in
doors. He has been a very i'll man and
the weather conditions here have been
so unfavorable that his physicians
have not as yet given their consent
for him to venture out. All confer
ences with him have taken place at
the Executive Mansin. If the weather
continues to improve it is almost GER
tain that he will be in his office at the
State House during the coming week.

POCOMOKE LOSES
EXCELLENT CITIZEN
MIR. A. J. Blackwell Died Monday
Last at His Home Near Town,
A Victim of Pneumonia.

In the death of Mr. Andrew Jack
son Blackwell, which occurred at his
home near this city Monday morning
last, this section loses one Of it's best
and most respected citizens.
Mr.. Blackwell, who was 81 years
of age, moved to this county few
years ago from Accomac county, Va
From the very start he began to
make friends and they have grown in
numbers as the years have come and
gone. He was a man of high ideals,
thoroughly reliable in every sense of
the word, and in his passing this
community has experienced great
loss.
In politics he was staunch demo-
crat, never deviating the least from
the traditions of his native State. He
loved his party and because of thai
fact he always supported its candi-
dates.
His remains were removed to Tenn
reranceville, Va, his former home,
where funeral services were held on
Wednesday afternoon.
The grief stricken widow and other
relatives have the sympathy of this
community in their hour of bereave-
ment.

County Farmers
Federation To Meet

A meeting of the Worcester Coun-
ty Farmers Federation will be held
in the court room of the Court House
on Tuesday afternoon, Feb. ID, at 2
o'clock.
This is not strictly a meeting for
the members of the County Farmers
Federation, but for all the farmers in
the county, as we'll as all of those in
terested in it's agricultural welfare.
g just at this time there are quite a
number of important questions that
should engage the attention of the ag-
rio ultural interests. The president
and secretary of the County Fedora
ton will report the results of the
Maryland State Agricultural Society
meeting recently held in Baltimore.
A program Of work for the FEEDER
alton for the coming year will also
be discussed.

This, the fifth week of the Mary
land Legislature, has witnessed much
activity around the State capitol.
While few bills of Statewide interest
have been acted upon, still it is fact
that the law makers have not been
idle. Many local bills have been dis
posed of thus making time for the
more important measures when they
are brought out. And the commit
tees have all been working overtime
tris week also. There are a great
rlany bills in the various committees
TO be acted upon. Many of them are
important in their character and by
reason of this fact the committees
are giving them the very best atten-
ton possible. 1t is safe to say that
lefore the close of the week several
of these bills will be brought out and
passed to their third reading.
At the time of writing this article
the bill providing for increased rep
resentation for Baltimore city seems
to be the bone of contentioas AS is
we'll known this is one of the prom
ises made in the Democratic platform
and in the final show down it is sure
t receive the needed three-ffths vote
to insure its passage. There were a
few democrats who in the start were
unfavorable to this measure but in
the past few days several of them
have seen the error of their way and
are now back of their party's plat
form and will vote for the bill on it's
final passage. Being in the form of a
Constitutional Amendment the matter
will have to be referred TO the people
Of the entire State and those who op-
pose it will then have a chance to vote
against it at the polls.
Later-The Legislature Thursday
afternoon late passed the measures

This SECTION AGAIN
VISITED BY ROBBERS
Automobile Stolen And Railroad
Station Robbed During The
Past Week.

1t has been sometime since a rol-
berry occurred in our town and our
people were naturally congratulating
themselves upon the fact. Friday
night of last week, however, the re-
cord was again broken when outlaws
in the character of robbers made their
appearance in our midst. On that
night thieves entered the garage of
Mr.. Harry Coulbourne, at his home or
Ceder street extended, and took ava,
his Ford touring car. After report
ing the theft to the authorities, they
Immediately began search up and
down the peninsula, and on Thursday
the police department of Wilmington
notified Mr.. Coulbourne by wire that
they had located his car. He left
Thursday night by train to arrive ir
Pocomoke today with the recovered
property.
A second robbery occurred on Sun
day night last when the passenger
station at Costen in Dublin district,
was entered by burglars. Entrance
to the building was made by forcing
the front door. The robbers broke
open number of drawers, evidentl.
in search of money. Fortunately all
the money was~in the safe and this
was not bothered. They did take, how
ever, several ticket books and a few
tickets neither of which can be OF
much service to them. Authorities
are now working to apprehend the
guilty parties and it is to be hoped
that they will succeed in their efforts
and the perpetrators in both instan-
ces will be brought to speedy justice,

ARMS CONFERENCE
CLOSED MONDAY
Washington Gathering Adjourned
After Spectacular Session.
All Treaties Signed.

The history making Conference on
the Limitation of Armaments and Far
Eastern Questions held at Washing
ton, came to it's end at lib o'clock
Monday morning with the signing of
treaties and a farewell address by
President Harding. With it's work
characterized by Mr.. Harding as "the
first deliberate and effective express
ion of great Powers, in the concious-
ness of peace and wars utter fu-
tility," the Conference went to its
niche of history to await the Judge
ments and developments of the fu-
ture.
In the great assembly hall of the
Daughters of the American Revolu-
ton, where all its open sessions have
been held. the delegates of the nine
nations assembled marched in turn
to space at the great green baize
table and affixed their signatures to
treaties and agreements which are all
parts of the structure built to lift
from a war-worn world the burden of
excessive naval armaments; to pro
mote the peace of the Pacific; to give
new bill of rights to- China and to
remove from the Far East particular
ly the clouds of war.
And as each delegation affixed sig
natures as plenipotentiaries pledging
the honor of their respective nations
to the good faith of the settlements
:greed upon, the great audience eX-
pressed the hopes of the world in its
loud and prolonged applause.
At the conclusion of the ceremony
of signing President Harding deliv-
cred his address, formally closing the
Conference as he formally had open
ed it little more than IL weeks ago

TWo NeW Enterprises
In Poconoke City

Two new enterprises are now added
to the long list of business firms in
locomoke City. Mr.. Crawford Hill
man on Friday of last week opened a
frst-class meat market which is To-
Gated in the Beauchamp building on
Clarke avenue. The interior of the
rooom has been completely renovat-
ed and the newest and most up-to-.
date furniture and fixtures have been
installed. This means that his place
of business is up to the minute. Add
ed to this is the fact that it is stock
ed with the very best meats the mar
ket can afford. Mr.. Hillman has had
considerable experience in this line
and we are sure that his endeavors to
please the public will be duly appre-
ciated and that his efforts will be
crowned with success.
Adjoining Mr.. Hillman and in the
same building is the new store of the
Atlantic and Pacific Tea Company.
They have added to their large chain
Of stores this one in Pocomoke City.
They, too, have completely renovated
the premises and the store-room now
presents a most pleasing appearance.
1t is filled with a full assortment of
groceries and we feel sure that they
will do good business in our town.

OCEAN CITY Is FAST
BEING WASHED AWAY
Citizens OF That Town Feel That
State Should Do Something To
Protect Beach Front.

Ocean City is Maryland's only Sea-
shore Resort, and lying between the
Atlantic Ocean and Synepuxent Bay,
furnishes an ideal location for deep
sea fishing on the Ocean side, and
fishing, the dredging of clans and
oysters and cunning for wild fowl on
the Bay side.
The Synepuxent Bay extends along
the Eastern coast to the Chincoteague
Bay and is the Eastern Boundary to
many acres of fine lands which are
capable of producing an abundance of
fruits, vegetables poultry and dairy
products.
Ocean City has a bathing beach
second to none on the Atlantic Coast,
as has been fully described in the past
by such men men as the late Judge
Dennis of Baltimore, who spent many
summers at this point. Many phy-
sicians recommend Ocean City as be-
ing the ideal place for one to go and
rest and regain health.
Practically all of the hotels and
boarding houses are owned and man.
aged by local people, and, notwith-
standing the increased facilities, ac-
commodations are not adequate for
taking care of the thousands of mot
orists and other folks who go to
Ocean City to spend the summer
months or The week-ends. The ferry
across the Bay from Annapolis to
Claiborne and the good roads thru
Maryland, Delaware, and Pennsyl-
vania have made it possible for the
patrons of Ocean City to reach that
resort quickly and comfortably, and
because of The increased patronage
due to these improved roads it is on
ly natural that Ocean City is in need
of additional hotel accommodations.
The storm of 1920 swept away
large sections of the front board
walk, completely demolished some of
the cottages and boarding houses, and
seriously damaged great many 9TH

Hon. L. EUing Handy
Dies In Wilmington

Hon. L. Irving Handy died at his
home in Wilmington, Del, last Friday
aged 60 years. He was the son of the
late Rev. William c., and Marie
Breckinridsc Handy, an old ard
prominent Somerset county family.
He was a brother of Mrs. T. j. Smith,
of Princess Anne.
Mr.. Handy was we'll known in this
town and county, having delivered
lectures here and political speeches
all over the county on numerous oc-
casions.
The funeral took place from his
late home in Wilmington Monday.
Mr.. Handy had been in ill health for
more than a year and was a patient
at Johns Hopkins University, Balti-
more, for several months.
