Defamation Contest To
Be Held On March uth

The English Department has ar
ranged to hold the annual Declama-
tion contest, Wednesday night, March
IL, in the Empire Theatre.
The program in the process of for
nation is varied, and deviates from
the previous years. The idea in mind
is to give patrons an idea of school
activities, without having too much
"sameness."
Nine of this years Senior Class will
compete for first honors, and the COM
petition will be keen.
Pocomoke is looking forward to
bringing the County prize here this
year. All contestants are being
coached by the local school faculty,
and it will be purely local competi-
tion.

Army Officers Inspect
National Guard Unit Here

Colonel H. C. Price, Senior Instruc-
tor, M. N. G., stationed at Baltimore,
and Capt. Parkhurst, 1st Infantry,
stationed at Frederick, Maryland, in
spected the local Headquarters Com
pany last Tuesday evening, the regu-
lar drill night of the unit.
These gentlemen expressed them
selves as highly gratified at the show
ing of the soldier boys, and con-
graduated them upon their efficiency
in the manual Of arms, and upon their
general military bearing.
Thorough inspection was made of
the Orderly room, Supply room, Field
equipment, lockers, and guns. All
passed muster.
The company will soon move into
their new quarters over the store of
George H. Evans, in the building re-
Gently erected by Capt. James T.
Young. This will be much improved
location.

WOMEN OF EASTERN
STAR ENTERTAIN MAS0NS
Celebrate Washington's Birthday
With Delightful Entertainm at
To Masonic Order

Crescent Chapter, No. a., O: E. S..
gave very delightful entertainment
in the Masonic Lodge room on Friday
Of last week, the occasion being their
annual celebration Of George Wash
ington's birthday. About 25O guests
were present and everybody reported
a pleasant evening.
The programme was made up of
music and speeches and was highly
enjoyed. A double quartette furnish
ed the vocal part, and Groh's orches-
ira, the instrumental.
The speaker of the evening was DR..
Albertus Perry, Field vice-president
of Washington College, Chestertown,
Md. Albert Sidney Johnson, of Vir-
ginia, also spoke. Both these gentle
men took Washington as their theme;
the former treated him from the
standpoint of a man; the latter, from
an idealistic. Both gentlemen were
listened to with strict attention, and
both furnished much food for thought.
The musical programme brought
forth much applause. Mrs. Dryden's
solo work, with the vocal and instru-
mental accompaniment, was most
cordially received, and the singers
had to respond to frequent encores.
Mrs. Bowen as usual, showed her
skill as an accompanist, subordinat-
ing her piano to the singers, but at
the same time furnishing real lead
ership. The instrumental part of the
music was in the hands of Groh's or
chestra and their renditions were
truly pleasing.
These gatherings are sources of
good fellowship and better acquaint-
ance, and are always productive of
much good.
Refreshments were served, consist
ing Of chicken salad, cheese carrots,
pickles, crackers, biscuits, and coffee.

MRS. CLARA DUER A
VICTIM OF PNEUMONIA
Grim Reaper Takes Toll Of Another
Life Long Connected With
Pocomoke City

Mrs. Clara J. Duer, widow of the
late Frank Duer, died at the residence
of her daughter, Mrs. Harry C. Mears
on Walnut street, Wednesday morn
ing last, aged 64 years, her death be-
ing due to pneumonia.
Mrs. Duer was born in Norfolk, Va,
and was the daughter Of the late DR..
and Mrs. Henry Bohm, formerly of
this city. DR.. Bohm was native Of
the old country but Mrs. Bohm was
born in Richmond, Va.
Very early in life, Mrs. Duer re-
moved to Pocomoke where she has re-
sided ever since.
Funeral services were held yester-
day in the Episcopal Church, inter-
ment being in the cemetery attached,
Rev. G. V. Bell, rector, officiating.
The deceased is survived by three
children, a son Bernard H. Duer, and
two daughters, Miss Ruby F. Duer,
and Mrs. Harry C. Mears. Also by a
brother, Lee Bohm, of Bridgeville,
Della.
The bearers were H. B. Pilchard,
George Richardson, F. Lee Bonneville,
William H. Dryden, r. L. Cluff, and
Walter Ent.
Mrs. Duer's passing marks the end
ing Of another life, long connected
with the history of Pocomoke City.
The Grim Reaper is taking his toll
these days, and holding out ghastly
reminders of the inevitable. He is
striking down the best among POGO
moke's people, and causing grief in
many heart. Mrs. Duer's life was
one devoted to her church and family.
She died with a consciousness of duty
well performed, and no doubt is en-
joying a sweet peace at the side of
her Master.

WORCESTER COUNTY MAN
TO EXHIBIT SEED CORN
Will Have Display AT National Seed
Corn Show In Chicago March
Second To Seventh

r. Leake, of Snow Hill is one of the
prominent Worcester county exhibit
ors in the National Seed Corn Show
to be held in Chicago March 2 to 7,
according to advices from the Sears
Roebuck Agricultural Foundation
which is sponsoring the show and of
fering $1,000 in prizes. Mr.. Leake
is out after the Kittle trophy of ST.
900, offered for the best ear of seed
corn in America.
The National Seed Corn Show is
bringing home to corn growers the
necessity for careful selection and
testing of ears this spring in order to
insure a normal crop for 1925. E. B.
Heaton, General Manager of the
show, estimates that if farmers will
pick out their seed corn and test it
for termination before planting it
will mean a total increase of one bill
lion bushels next harvest time.
The National Seed Corn Show is
unique. Any corn grower may share
in the prizes, but no one may enter
more than single ear. In addition
to showing the best specimens of lead
ing growers the Chicago Show will
also display representative ears from
thousands of corncribs. No ear will
be awarded prize until tested for ger
mination power and disease resis-
tance, the judges to be selected by the
American Society of Agronomy. En-
tries should be mailed to Sears-Roe-
buck Agricultural Foundation, Chica-
go, not later than the night of March
first.

MERCHANTS READY
TO WELCOME SPRING
Special Displays Of Wearing Ap.
parel For Milady Will Be Held
March 4th And 5th

Pocomoke's merchants are ready to
welcome the spring months with new
stocks of goods, and are preparing
their openings for the coming week
March 4th and 5th.
The Democrat is advertising Har-
g,s', Godwin's, and Givarz' Depart
ment stores and Misses Wilson's and
Stark's Millinery establishments.
Seldom is there presented to the
shopping public such an opportunity
of choice, quality, and price as can
be grasped in this city's three depart
ment stores. The buildings are at
tractive, the stock large, the service
unsurpassed, and the prices right.
Nothing is lacking, and the splendid
shopping facilities of this city are the
talk for many miles around.
Pocomoke has always been noted
for it's fine millinery. Miss r. Belle
Wilson has spent a life time in the
business and her taste and judgments
are depended upon by large follow
ing. Her patterns are always up-to-
the-minute; her trimmers are taste
full; her success assured.
Miss Starke, since her coming to
this city, has always placed before
the public the newest styles in hats
and bonnets, and has displayed good
taste which she has exercised for the
benefit of her patrons. Her stock is
large and varied, and she is ready to
display it.
Other merchants will probably soon
follow along and spring will quickly
find the shop windows full of such
wares as will attract both the eye and
the pocketbook.

L. w. Gunby Named As.
President Salisbury Bank

L. w. Gunby, prominent hardware
merchant of Salisbury, was unani-
mously elected president of the Farm
ers & Merchants Bank at a meeting
Of the directors held last Wednesday
afternoon. Mr.. Gunby was chosen to
fill the place left vacant by the recent
death of Travers L. Ruark.
To no other man in Salisbury has
ever come the unusual honor of occu-
pying the presidential office of two
city banking institutions. This will
be Mr.. Gunby's distinction upon TAX
ing office at the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank. For until the merger
P6f the Central Bank with the Eastern
Shore Trust Co., he was president of
the Central Bank. He is also presi-
dent of the Building and Loan Asso-
citation, and has for many years been
active in banking circles and regu-
lar attendant at all State Bankers
Conventions.
Mr.. Gunby is also one of the origi-
nal directors of the Farmers and Mer-
chants Bank, with which in spite of
his other interests he has always re-
mained closely affiliated. He was on
the first Board, selected in 1892 with
DR.. Samuel A. Graham as cashier
when the institution was founded.

FARMERS TO
PRACTICE CROP
DIVERSIFICATI0N
At Meeting Held Tuesday 1t Was
Learned Crops New To This
Section Will Be Planted
CANTALOUPES AND GU
CUMBERS TO BE TRIED

The farmers meeting last Tues
day attracted good crowd, and the
discussions were directed toward in
ducing the farmers to see the neces-
sity Of planting more than one crop.
The speakers were again Messrs.
Jones and Taylor, who spoke on the
raising of cantaloupes, cucumbers,
and the planting, care, and storing of
sweet potatoes.
Woodland Long, now connected with
the Peninsula Produce Exchange,
made the statement that he had in
terviewed about forty-five farmers,
and these had determined to put in as
many as fifty-one acres of cucumbers,
and fifty-five acres Of cantaloupes.
Also that these same forty-fve farm
ers had in 1924 planted 682 acres of
potatoes, but this year would reduce
that about one-third, planting about
457 acres. This was considered good
omen, and a prediction Of better times
to come in the way of diversifcation.
Mr.. Nelson, the new canning house
proprietor, was present at the meet
ing and gave short talk. He desired
cooperation, saying the Gamer could
not get along without the farmer, and
he was ready to do his part to take
care of the farmers interest.
There was no notice of further
meeting, but it is likely others will be
called periodically, as there is no
doubt they are putting new ideas into
the heads of the soil workers, and
probably making them see the desir-
ability of studying the advantages of
the more than one e-crop situation.

NORTHAMPTON FARMERS
NOW PLANTING POTATOES
Weather Conditions Ideal And Soil
Right-To Finish Planting In
About Two Weeks

"The Northampton Times" has the
following interesting item on progress
Of potato planting, and the probable
acreage cultivated.
"With weather conditions just right
and the land in ideal condition potato
planting in Northampton is just get
ting under way this week. While no
large acreage has as yet been plant
ed farms are being prepared and
some few farmers in the lower part
Of the county will in all probability be
through by Saturday noon. 1t is safe
to say, advise prominent Northampt-
onians whose business keeps them in
close touch with the potato situation
from planting to harvesting time that
most Northampton farmers have their
land ready and should the weather
hold good during the next week a
large part of the planting will be fin
ished by Saturday, March 7th.
"While it is hardly fair to make
dI cSllIIldIc dS ycI, ~ lS CIlc UcllcI VI
local produce men that Northampton
will this year plant at least a normal
crop, and this despite the fact that
fertilizer manufacturers have increas-
ed the cash price per ton about two
dollars, with a wider range effective
on the time price.
"Last year planting was practically
complete by the middle of March and
it now appears that with favorable
weather Northampton's seed potatoes
will be in the ground at about the
same time this year, and, as before
stated, it does not look as if there
will be any decrease in acreage.
Horses, mules, tractors and lay
ing out apparatus have been on the
job this week, but the potato planting
equipment will be much in evidence
for the next two weeks beginning
next Monday"

OF
ACCIDENTS IN
CITY HISTORY
Messrs. Matthews, Schoolfield, And
Townsend Meet With Serious
Mishaps
STATE SHOULD PROTECT
CAUSEWAY ACROSS RIVER

Two of Pocomoke's prominent
citizens have recently been the vic
TINS of rather serious accidents-El-
wood Matthews and G.. Edw. School
field. The former made a misstep one
day last week and tore ligament in
his foot which has necessitated his
using crutches ever since. He is now
on the mend, but the incident has
been great interference in the trans
acting of his daily routine of work.
Mr.. Schoolfeld's was of a more
serious nature and resulted in loss of
the third finger of his, right hand.
This member was caught in the
clutch of a piece of machinery at the
mill of the Marvel Package Company,
and was so crushed as to necessitate
amputation, the operation being skill
fully performed by DR.. Norman E.
Sartorius, assisted by DR.. Hall.
Mr.. Schoolfield has not suffered very
greatly from the wound, but, of
course regrets that he should lose the
finger.
In addition to these two misfor-
tunes, James B. Townsend of this
city had the i'll luck to drive over the
embankment of the causeway leading
from the River bridge through the
swamp. Mr.. Townsend, fortunately
escaped injury but considerable dam
age was done to his car, the top being
smashed up rather badly. This is on
ly another argument for protection by
a fence on each side of the fill-in at
this point. The State authorities have
argued that because of the straight
away course of this piece of road; and
because of the fact that "no accidents
had been reported to them," there was
no need of a. rail.
1t would be we'll for the numerous
sufferers at this location to inform
the highway Commissioner just what
has happened, and possibly the au-
thorities might see the need of some
action to prevent recurrence of ca
tastrophes. 1t has been a miracle that
some have not resulted fatally.

Cross Word Puzzles
Profitable To Pocomokians

The Crossword puzzle craze has
taken hold Of the Pocomoke people as
it has those Of other places. Some of
this city's denizens have profited fl
nancially, as Mrs. w. Bates Hancock
had one accepted by the Philadelphia
Record; and Joe Feribee, book-keeper
at the office of the Marvel Package
Company won a hundred dollar cred
it on an Oldsmobile car. This is
transferable should he not wish to
buy. Other reports of successful con-
testants at nearby points have been
heard of, and the sport goes merrily
on.
