From time to time we have had to
complain about the diSOrderly and ire
gular way in which the st. Thomas pa.
pers reach US. Our contemporaries on
the other side Of the channel apparently
do not endorse what former postmaster
general Hays said about the newspaper
that it is a thing which a man wants
when he wants it and if he doesn't get
it when he wants it he doesn't want 1t.
The Mail Notes and the Bulletin are the
ones which are as a rule late. Iester-
day we received the former from April
8. to oath inclusive. minus the ISSUES for
the 10th, 18th and 18th. We make it a
point to mail our papers by every 0ppor-
tunity because we realize that nobody
wants to read Old newspapers. 10 SIM
DIV mai! us a few newspapers now and
again by fits and starts is as bad as not
to send them at all. Won't our contem-
poraries brush up and nail our exchanges
by each mail or not mail them at all?

Trees Removed From
St. Mary's Cemetery

For some time it has been apparent
that there were too many trees in St.
Mary's cemetery. They have encum-
hered the churchyard so that in some
sections burial was becoming quite a
problem. The vestry appointed a
committee to act, and the contract
was given to remove all trees, ex-
cept those along the fence line and
the two in front of the church, and
ornamental shrubbery.
1t has been so dark in the church
that electric lights had to be used at
almost all services. The removal of
the trees will give better light in the
church and do away with much of the
dampness that permeated the build
ing, which caused some of the wood
work to decay. This improvement
will also allow the memorial stones
to be cleaned and kept clean. The
sun will have a chance to dry up the
lot quicker after wet spell, and the
whole neighborhood will be benefited
by more healthy condition and more
cheerful outlook.

Community Reading Room
Great Benefit To Counfians

There was opened last week in
Snow Hill a community reading room
and library. The Rev. ]. A. Mitchell
has given free Of expense, one of the
front rooms in All Hallows' rectory
for this purpose. Excepting little
scare on the part Of some that the
Episcopal church is going to gobble
up the county seat, the venture has
been we'll received. The room was
opened on the second Of October with
social event, from to 6 o'clock, and
hot cocoa and waters were served to
all who came. The room should
prove of invaluable benefit to Snow
Hill.
In small towns this feature Of pro-
viding for the people place where
they can secure good reading and
have a social center is too often ne.
elected. 1t is to be hoped that the ef-
forts of Mr.. Mitchell will meet with
success.

WILL SOON MOVE
in new BUILDINGS
w. H. Clarke & Co. And Worcester
Democrat To Occupy New
Quarters In Few Days

The Worcester Democrat will prob
ably publish it's next issue from its
new quarters corner Clarke avenue
and Vine street.
The big press and the folder have
been set up, and removal of machin-
cry from the old quarters has already
been started. When the moving is
completed the plant will be much bet
ter housed, and Pocomoke will have a
print shop fully equipped to meet the
demands of the public.
w. H. Clarke & Co., will also be
soon seen in their new house on Mar
ket street. Just at present the COM
pletion of the handsome building has
been held up by damage done the soda
fountain in transit. New marble will
have to be shipped, and this delay
will retard contemplated removal
from Willow street.
This enterprising drug firm will
have one of the finest stores on the
Peninsula. Later description of it's
interior finish will appear in these
columns.
Work is being pushed on the M. E.
Church parsonage; which building IS
looming up as very pretentious resi-
dence. When finished it will be an
ornament to the town, and house
more in harmony with the handsome
church than the one which was de-
stroyed by fire.
The public has been able to see
what material improvement will be
made to Market street, since the
throwing open of portion of the
recently laid bed to travel. From Sec
ond street to the American stores has
been opened up and the wide highway
is a delight to all. The unsightly
poles will soon disappear, and when
the lights are turned on, the effect,
no doubt, will be impressive.

Soccer And Field Ball
Popular At High School

"Hurrah for the Field Ball Team!"
This is the cry we hope to hear is
suing from the heart of everyone; for
the High School girls are out to win
the County Field Ball Championship
and they should have the enthusiastic
support of every patron of the school.
This seems to be lacking, but if
everyone would turn out and watch
a game, interest would be quickened
and athletics would get the backing
it deserves.
A practice game will be played
here on Friday October 10th, between
Pocomoke and Crisfeld. Cooperate

Home TALENT
SHOW PLAYS TO
LARGE CROWD
Wheeler Producing Company Sta
ges Delightful Entertainment
Three Nights This Week
SUCCESS ATTAINED
TRULY REMARKABLE

The Wheeler Producing Company,
working in conjunction with Crescent
Chapter, No. Al, o. E. S., staged one
of their delightful entertainments
three nights this week, playing to
crowded houses every evening.
The Wheelers are so we'll known to
Pocomoke City; their entertainments
are so high class in every respect;
and their frequent visits have been
so favorably criticized by everyone,
that there is very little left unusual.
With seventy-fve or more char
acters taking part in the program, it
would be lengthy and difficult job
to attempt any personal mention or
give any extended write-up to indi-
vidual features. But from the tiniest
tot in "The Birthday Party" through
the dignified and sentimental "Songs
of By Gone Days." and up to the roll
licking fun of the "Merry Minstrel
Whirl," all the participants deserve
the highest commendation.
In all the entertainments produced
by the Wheelers, the Democrat has
taken occasion to say that the success
attained in such short time by these
people, is truly remarkable. It bears
repetition to say that it is almost un-
believable that words and music can
be memorized; dance formations per-
fectedi costumes prepared; proper
expression be studied; and all the
thousand minor particulars attended
to in two or three weeks.
Ordinarily, home talent reveals so
much of amateurism in their attempts
at light opera, drama, vaudeville, or
any other sort of stage production,
that only home audiences can look,
listen and praise. But the Wheelers
have the knack of rubbing off much
of crude action from their partici-
pants; so much, that their efforts
would be accepted anywhere with un-
feigned delight. So, in each "Whirl"
VI WCCh nluSLICl InuolCdl IbC-
vue," there seemed to be an all-star
Characterization. The kids were splen-
did; the country swain and his sweet
heart were truly typical; the Spain
ards "In Old Mexico" revelation of
Romance life; the action in "Lime
house Nights" thrilling and interpre
tative of Chinese nature; the old
Songs of By-Gone Days" reminiscent
of a period which many are ready to
say contained more of real sweetness,
than the present rapid age; and the
black-faced artists Of the wind-up
number, mirth provoking and happy
in their local quips and harmonious
singing.
The large audience was highly
pleased, and it is safe to say that the
annual visitations of the Wheelers
producing wonders with the really eff
ficient local talent, will always be en-
Enthusiastically received.

SEVERAL BOYS and
GIRLS ENTER CONTEST
Essay Contest OF Worcester County
Farm Bureau Part OF National
Undertaking.

Worcester county farm boys and
girls are writing essays in competi-
tition with farm boys and girls in
counties in every state in the union
This was the secret regarding the
county farm bureau essay contest
which County Agent Oswald held
back last week when the county farm
bureau contest was announced.
Mr.. Oswald announced this week
that the county contest was part of a
national contest being conducted under
the auspices of the American Farm
Bureau Federation. In addition to the
Worcester county prizes, the Ameri-
can Farm Bureau Federation is offer

says submitted BY farm boys and
girls. The four national prizes con-
sist of trips to Chicago at the time Of
the annual meeting Of the national
organization, which will this year be
held December 8, 9 and 10.
County Agent Oswald says that he
does not yet have = complete list of
farm boys and girls of Worcester
county who are entering the contest
here. He knows however that a great
number have already started to write
their essays from requests for mater.
ials which have come into the county
farm bureau Office.
1t is to be remembered, as was an
in the story carried in the
paper Of last week there are thirteen
best essays written in the county. And
the boy or girl winning the first prize
in Worcester county will then have
his essay submitted in the national
contest and will have an opportunity
Of winning a prize trip to Chicago in
