The Faultless Nightwear Corpora
tion has signed a new lease on the
property they occupy at present, said
lease extending from June /, 1923 to
June 1924.
The improvements now in the max
ing, are the installation Of IL new ma.

number Of employees up to 85. When
these changes take place, the estab-
lishment will not be excelled by any
on the Shore.
The firm is advertising by posters
now in the printing, for outside help
and boarding places are assured for
all who make up their minds to
come.
This plant has been in Pocomoke

it more valuable both to the corpora
tion and to Pocomoke City. He de-
sires to have its pay roll to reach
$1000-it is now STA. This business
is growing rapidly and may be classed
among Pocomoke's most valuable as

Noted Lecturer To Speak
Here Next Tuesday Night

Reports that have reached Pocomoke
regarding J. Adam Bede as lecturer,
say that he is humorist of the very
highest type, and is prepared to make
you forget all your troubles; at least.
for the time he is talking. He seems
to see funny side to every problem
he discusses-and makes others sec
it too. He is American through and
through, and his addresses ring with
clarion call to arms against the foe
without and within. The press says
that America has produced few more
unique or striking characteristics than
Hon. J. Adam Bede, former Congress-
man from Minnesota, and known as
the humorist of the lower House of
our National Congress.
This is the last of the series Of en-
tertainment's given by the local COM
mittee. 1t will pay you to hear, so
greet Mr.. Bede with a full house.

loyal support extended him by the
people of our city and elsewhere dur
ing the initial week of his business
venture in Pocomoke.

and appreciation of, the same, and to
state to the public that his end and
aim is to serve them with the very
best goods, the very best attention,

ROTARIANS ENTERTAIN
MAYOR AND COUNCIL
Meeting Results In Closer Under
standing Of Aims And Pur-
poses Of Each.

A most interesting meeting of tn,
Rotary Club was held last Monda.
evening, on the occasion of thei,
weekly dinner, held at, that time, il
the Parker House.
To the meeting We're invited tn!
Mayor and other members of the Cit,
Council, E. w. Veasey, William E
Hall, and Louis J. Hancock. Othel
guests Of the evening were Andrew
Picken, chief of the Pocomoke Cit,
Volunteer Fire Department; Francis
J Dryden, Salisbury city engineer
Edward Miller, representing tn
Swarthmore Chautauqua Circle; an,
John W. Station, Esq, Of the Worces
ter county Bar.
The City Council was invited in or
der that our town fathers might be
come better acquainted with certain
citizens of Pocomoke in their capaci
ty as Rotarians. A letter addressed
to them, which letter appeared in tn
columns of the Democrat in its issue
of Saturday last, offered to our towr
fathers "all the potential forces ex
listing in the Rotary Club of POGO
moke City,"
To prove this communication was
not superficial, the two bodies met a
round the dinner table last Monday
and the result was q closer under
standing of the aims and purposes o.
each, and q promise of further CO
operation for the good of the com
munity, no matter in what phase il
may be viewed. Certainly mos
pleasant relationship was established
between Rotary and Council, and al
impulses leading toward a status o.
hostile opposition were drowned in thu
tide of good feeling which arose a
round the festal board.
Several matters pertaining to clvi,
improvement were discussed before
adjournment.
Edward J. Clarke has been named
by the club as delegate to the annua
Convention of the Saith District of Rc
tary Clubs, which meets ut Fredericl
City on March IA and is, Wednesda,
and Thursday of next week. Prof. e
Clarke Fontaine has been named u.
alternate. There will be over 50(
delegates to this meeting, and the Ro
tarians will blow the roof off old Bar
bara Frietchie's home town.

under very encouraging circumstanc.
es, having about 20 charter members
and as many more prospective ones.

The credit for The organizing of this
lodge of higher Masonry is due large
ly to the energy and activity of Post

It is not an easy undertaking to
procure a dispensation for Chapter
work, and it was only through the ex-
tremely favorable aspect of POGO
moke's application, that authority was
given for this branch of the Royal
Arch. And it was through Mr.. Ross
that the petition was freighted with
such weight.
The lodge starts out under most
favorable circumstances, and it is to
be hoped interest will be maintained
Refreshments consisting of ice.
cream and cake, were served at the
conclusion.

the bed room of Miss Lillian Lloyd,
the 18 year-old daughter, bound and
