the house on wheels did not budge a speck.
 Instead, it just stood still and shool, itself until the pictures rattled against the walls and the nice poor man, who had been asleep up on the roof rolled off and came tumbling down into the great mass of ferns.
 "I guess I must have fallen aslcep!' the poor man said as he sat up and rubbed his eyes. Did I roll off the roof, Raggedy Ann?"
 "Indeed you did!" Raggedy Ann said. "Somcthing has happened 10 our nice house on wheels! It just stop ped"
 Maybe it has run out of gas." the poor man said.
 "No!" Raggcdy Ann said. "lt doesn't need gasoline like automo- , piles. Mister Poor Man.'
 That's sol" the poor man said as he scratched his head. q forgot that 1 it was magical! Do you 'spect it needs 1 water."
 "Oh, no." Raggcdy Ann laughed. The bath room always has water in l it, l guess the magic has run out! ,
 'I used to work in gar2ge.' the | poor man said. "I'll just crawl in un- der the house on wheels and see if | can find the trouble! Maybe it's the carburetor Raggedy Ann!" | Raggedy Ann did not think it could | be the carburetor be cause it did not | have one, but she let the poor man crawl under the house on wheels and | soon heard him say "Well! No won- der." And out he came with a whole | lot of rope in his hands. These | pieces of ropes were twisted all around the wheels!" he said. And they were tied in hard knots!" "Then old Minga. the Witch, has i done it with her magic!" Raggedy Ann said. "She hopes to catch up with us l supposc."
 But now that the poor man had ] taken the ropes from the wheels, he 1 climbed upon the roof again and the cunning little magical house on wheels | began rolling away, just as old Minga | the Witch came running around a l bend in the path. With a howl, the mean old Witch sat down in the path and shook her fist at the house on wheels. "T thought sure I would catch them that tome!" she cried. But the Raggedys and the mas]cal wooden hobby horse did not even see the witch for they were sitting in rocking chairs inside the cunning lit- tie house and the nice kind poor man had gone to eleep again upon the roof.

The word tight" could never have been applied to anything worn by Mr. Mann of Anytown.

enrolled. When this number is sold
there will be no more for sale locally
unless some of the other towns fail to

local people. Last year there were a
number Of tickets returned and if this
happens again this year, they will be

Mrs. James Birmingham
Dies In PHILADELPHIA

A letter from James Birmingham,
formerly of this city and connected
with the Pennsylvania Railroad here,
announces the death Of bis wife in
Philadelphia, Pa, on Monday last,
Jan. %.
Mrs. Birmingham was taken ill on
Thursday preceding her death with
ptomaine poisoning. Neuritis set in,
and though bravely fighting for life,
she succumbed when heart failure en-
sued.
She was conscious to the last, and
and conversed with friends concerning
certain arrangements she wished af-
ter her death. J
Funeral services were held from
her home at 2531 N. 10Th street,
Philadelphia yesterday, February 1,
interment in Mt. Vernon cemetery.
Mr.. and Mrs. Birmingham had
many friends in this city who will re-
member them with a great deal of
pleasure, and will regret to hear of
Mrs. Brittingham's death. Those now
residing in Pocomoke will, no doubt,
be generous with their sympathy.
The editor wishes to be among
these. He recalls many happy days
of association with the bereaved hus-
band and with his most hospitable
family.

LARGE ENTRANCE OF
SCHOOLS in DEBATES
Public Discussion League Announ-
ces Eighty-Two High Schools
To Take Part.

Eighty-two high schools through
out the State this year have teams in
the competitive debating contests to
be held under supervision of the High
School Public Discussion League, it
was announced, by Prof. C. S. Rich
ardson, of the University of Mary
land, chairman of the committee di-
recting the leagues activities.
The league has been in operation
four years and has increased it's men,
bership from Is to 81 high schools.
In order to take part in the debating
contests three schools from each coun-
ty are required to secure member
ship in the league as each school must
debate both the affirmative and mega
tive sides of the chosen question with
other schools.
All schools in the league use the
same subject for debate each year.
The subject chosen for this years.
contest is "Should the United States
Government Own the Railroads of the
Country" Students are expected to
get the basis for their arguments, pro
and con, from a series of articles
which appeared in the Baltimore Sun
during the week from January z to
ID, setting forth both sides the argu-
ment.
The league has developed to a point
where it is now regarded as an i'm
portant and valuable asset to the
training of the high school students.
Not only does it give them an oppor-
tunity to develop their ability as pub
lie speakers but to inform themselves
fully on public questions of the day,
according to Prof. Richardson.
S. M. North and E. c. Fontaine, of
the United States Department Of
Education, are the other members of
the committee in charge of the
league.
