St. Mary's Church. z

Thursday morning of last week at
1870 the Interparochial meeting of
the branches of the Woman's Auxili
ary in Worcester county met in the
Church of st. Mary the Virgins There
were some changes in the Service az
rangements. Rev. Mr.. ellison of Ber-
lin was confined to his bed with ill
ness, and the Rev. Mr.. Mitchell of
Snow Hill preached in his stead. Dr..
Burke was detained at Ocean City on
account of the burial of one of his
parishioners. The Bishop arrived in
time to act as celebrant.
There were about go people present
from Berlin, Snow Hill, Stockton and
Pocomoke City. Mr.. Mitchell vividly
portrayed conditions in China where he
had been a teacher in st. Johns Uni
versity, Shanghai. The picture he
drew showed how necessary the
Christian uplift is to that supersti-
ton ridden and filthy country.
A delectable luncheon was served
in the parish hall at one o'clock. Spe-
cial guests were present from Center
vile, Princess Anne and Mount Ver-
non. Many brought boxes. containing
dainties which were generously dis
tributed.
In the afternoon business session
was held. Reports of work in all
church societies and church schools
were presented. Mrs. Tillman of Cen
treville talked about the box work,
and Bishop Davenport talked about
the expansion of the Woman's Auxili-
ary so as to include every woman in
the church, and the rounding up un-
churched people.
The days work, was concluded with
the conservation of the Mills memoir
ial window.
The next Interparochial meeting
will be held in Stockton in the fall Of
1925.

"The Merry Whirp To

Nights OF Next Week
Soccer To The Fore AT
Pocomoke High School

With the close of the Eastern Shore
base ball season and now the Nation
al base ball season, the sporting
blood of Pocomoke City warns to Soc
Ger and field ball; right at home.
The few rainy days of this week,
the fact that other work takes the
time of Chief Whitman, the outlook
on soccer has just a little more
gloomy aspect, than last week. 81
Gladding who is working to hold his
temporary position on center forward
says, "that is hard thing to do, five
Of us on the forward line to take the
ball through II fighting men for a
goal"
A new ball and other new equip
ment, which by the way touched the
treasurer little hard, have put some
new life into the last practice. But
the season is young. A little brush
with Crisfeld on Friday, October 10,
will be better barometer than the
weather to tell how the season will be
finished.

(Communicated)

The Gospel Crusade, conducted by
Rev. George w. Cooke, in the M. E.
Church is in it's third and last week
and will close on Sunday.
Pocomoke's religious life has been
signally stirred and revived as well
as large numbers giving themselves
to Christian living and joining the
several churches of the community.
DR.. Cooke is strong and con-
vincing preacher. He does not resort
to slang or any clap-trap methods but
straighforwardly and with dignity
breaches righteousness in a convinc-
ing and irresistible way.
The music Of the services has been
a treat. Both DIR. Cooke and Mr.. Wig
neulle have been splendidly trained
in the musical art and every selection
bespeaks musical culture. The in
strumental and vocal selections have
all been Of very high order.
Saturday night DR.. Cooke will give
a popular lecture, "The Romance of
Seven Seas" This will be in the ma
ture of a travelogue. DR.. Cooke has
been around the world on two occa-

HOOSIER POTATOES
: FACING EXTINCTION
Ninety Per Cent OF Worcester Coun-
ty Fields Found To Be Affected
With Mosaic Disease

DIR. Jehle, inspector for the Mary
land Seed Certifcation Board, to-
gether with the County Agent visited
about 81 seed potato fields in all Sec
tions of the county that had been reg
istered for seed certifcation. The OBJ
jetc of this tour of inspection was to
comply with the State law in making
the first field inspection. It is very
noticeable in most of these fields
where certified seed was used that the
fields were freer from disease. The
Irish Cobblers, grown from Prince
Edward Isle, Maine and South Dako-
ia certified seed were very slightly ef-
fected with Mosaic disease. In fact,
some of the home grown seed, where
care in selection had been used for
several generations, very little dis
ease was noted. The average field,
however, where no attention had been
paid to seed selection, was eliminated
due to great percentage of Mosaic,
Rhizoctonia and Leafroll.
On the whole, the prospects among
some of the larger growers is very
encouraging for Cobbler seed. The
situation is rather alarming with the
McCormicks, Hoosiers and Twentieth
Centurys. Not single field that was
inspected throughout the county was
found free enough of disease to merit
it's passing the first inspection. Some
of the Hoosier fields as we'll as 80 per
cent. of the plants are effected with
Mosaic and unless something definite
is done by the growers, the Hoosier
potato will be almost a thing of the
past in Worcester county. In order
to prevent such a disaster, a number
Of growers are making hill selection
with-th intention of conducting plots
next year according to the hill-to-row
method. The hope is that a Mosaic
resistant strain of Hoosiers and Nc
Cormicks will be found. A further
inspection will be made about the 18TH
or 18th Of October.

DIRECTOR OF VOCATIONAL
EDUCATION VISITS P.H.S.
Spends Day In Class Rooms With
Home Making Girls And
Young Farmers.

Wednesday, October 1 1924, J. D.
Blackwell, State Director of Vocation
at Education in Maryland, paid his
first official visit to Pocomoke High
School. He spent the day in the class
rooms of Miss Ethel Dix and her
home-making girls, and Mr.. Mizell
and his young farmers.
The plight of the Eastern Shore
farmer is very we'll known to Mr..
Blackwell and it is his earnest desire
to have the Agricultural department
in Pocomoke City one of the best as
sets Of Worcester county.
Proper teaching of the young gen.
Grafton will easily do this.
By careful observation of Mr..
Blackwell over the State, of other
teachers and then suggestions to his
younger men who are on the job every
day, something profitable is learned
by the student which he can use in his
life. ..
One method, original with POGO
moke City, which interested other OBJ
servers as well as Mr.. Blackwell, was
reports of markets and up-to-the-
minute topics on live stocks by the
boys. Further explanation is: One
day every week quotation has been .on
eggs, poultry, hogs and potatoes for
the day before or week before in Bal
timore, Philadelphia, New York and
other market centers.
The Rural New Yorker, Maryland
Farmer, and Baltimore daily papers
are being used as text books with the
more carefully compiled editions of
standard study books.
This Agriculture is alive, active,
and profitable

JULIUS ]. SMULLIN IS
VICTIM OF PNEUMONIA
Long Associated With Social And
Business Life Of Community.
Funeral Sunday.

JULIUS y. Smullln, one or the oldest
and most highly respected citizens of
this city, died at his residence on
Walnut street, last Thursday morn
ing, the cause Of his death being pneu-
monia.
Mr.. Smullin was born in Pocomoke
City, then Newtown, on August 1st,
1846, the son of the late Zorababel
and Mary A. Smullin.
Very early in life he engaged in the
mercantile business, and has been
identified with the growth of POGO
moke City throughout a long period
OF time. The old firm of Selby &
Smullin is we'll remembered, the lat
ter of whom is still living.
Removing from this city, he con-
Quoted retail grocery establishment
in Philadelphia for about rs years; :;
but upon the death .of the late VIM.
5. Dickinson, he, in conjunction with
his brother, bought the extensive busi-
ness of the deceased, which they af-
ter sold to the late T. F. Hargis.
Shortly afterwards the Smullin
Brothers inaugurated their present
furniture emporium at the corner of
Clarke avenue and Willow street.
Mr.. Smullin is survived by one
laughter, Mrs. Ida Lambden; one
brother, John T. Smullin; a sister,
Mrs. John L. Paradee; all of POGO
moke City. Two nephews and two
nieces also survive: John T. Smullin,
Jr., of this city, and George S. Smul-
lin, of 'Elmira, N. Y, and Mrs. Harry
Shaw and Miss Cecie Paradee, of this
city.
Funeral services will be conducted

The death of Mr.. Smullin marks
the passing away of another good
citizen. The harvest of the Grim
Grim Reaper has been specially abun-
dant in theis community of late; and,
as the days swing by, one after an
other Of those who have reached the
allotment of three-score and ten, has
been falling into the silent tomb.
He whose demise is hereby noted
was one of the landmarks of past gen.
erations. Those who recall him can
remember him as bright, jovial,
genial, nature. In his association
with his companions of former years
he was the life of any gathering, and
contributed largely to the social en-
joyment of his large coterie of friends
and acquaintances.
Up to his death, he retained that
disposition which made him look on
the bright side of living, and enable
hm at all times to enjoy humorous
situation. He will be missed from the
community, and there will be none
who will not mourn his departure.

Little Virginia Salter Is
Taken Away for Treatment
Victim of Recent Accident Must Re-
main in Atlanta Several Weeks.

Little Virginia Salter, three-year-
old daughter of DR.. and Mrs. J. w.
Salter, who was seriously injured by
heavy gate falling on her, has been
taken to Atlanta for treatment. DR..
L.. P. Salter, relative of the family,
came from Atlanta on Wednesday to
see the little girl and returned that
night accompanied by Virginia and
her mother.
A letter received Friday morning
from Mrs. Salter stated that the little
patient stood the trip well, and that
an x-ray examination dispelled all
doubt of the hip having been dislocat-
ed. The fractured bone had slipped
some little distance and the limb was
stretched, and at the time OF writing
it lacked only small fraction OF ar
inch of being in place again.
1t will be necessary, it is SAID FOL
the child to remain in bed severa
weeks with her leg suspended up
ward. In this position no splints viii
be necessary, and the patient will b.
much more comfortable. Broken limbs
kept in that position heal much more
satisfactorily, it is said.
Little Virginia has the sympathy o
everyone and their wish for a speed!
recovery.
