p. H. S. Boys Win And
Lose In Base Ball Games

The Pocomoke High School Base
Ball team have started the season
with one defeat and one overwhelm-
ing victory. The scene of the defeat
was at Stockton on Thursday, April
9th. Both teams made quite a few
errors which in the end lost the game
for Pocomoke. P H. S. had held her
ground with score of 8 to 8 when in
the ninth inning Stockton scored on
an error and won the game with the
score of II to 8.
The next game which was an over
whelming victory for Pocomoke was
played here on Tuesday April IA with
Ocean City. The final score which is
altogether an evidence of a complete
whitewash was 20 to o.
This proves that P. H. S. can really
play base ball so let's give them
hearty support on every occasion.

new POSTAL RATES
IN EFFECT WEDNESDAY
$6S, 900, 900 Expected To Be Added
To Postal Receipts Yearly
Under New System

The new system of postal rates,
which it is believed will add about
$68,OO0,0O0 to receipts for the COM
ing year, went into effect Wednesday.
While the new scale includes several
variations from the old, only a few
will be of interest to the general pub
lie. One is the increased rate of 2
cents on souvenir post cards, altho
the plain cards sold by the Postoffice
will go at the old rate.
Another increase is on Individual
newspapers. Formerly a single paper
could be sent for one cent; now the
postage is from 3 to a cents. Maya
zines also come in for raise where
they are not sent out by the pub
fishers.
A new and speedier service for par
eel post packages will be inaugurated
and rates on money orders will be in
creased for small domestic orders
and reduced for the larger orders.
Funds resulting from the increase
will be used to pay the increased sal
aries of postal employees.

Postmaster Schoolfeld
Cautions Users OF Mails

Postmaster Schoolfield sends the
Democrat a communication which is
in the interest of the patrons Of the
post office.
This cautions the user of the mails
to give proper address, city or town,
street, number, and state. This will
assure prompt and correct dispatch OF
mail.
He also reminds patrons to put re-
turn card on all mail or parcel post
packages; this will insure prompt re-
turn of missent mail or rany that it
is impossible to deliver to addressee'
These directions should be carefully
followed since, as no mail can be
properly dispatched or delivered when
not properly addressed, neither can it
be returned without return card is
attached. When such is the case, let
ters or parcel post packages have te
be sent to the dead letter office. This
causes disappointment, worry, and ex'
pense, all of which could be avoided
if heed will lbe given to the request:
of the Department.

Dear SIR
We have your letter of April 9th,
relative to withdrawal of $50 A. M.
train from Pocomoke.
The records show that on an aver
age this train does very little busi-
ness, probably not sufficient to pay
for the service; at the same time we
are pleased to advise you that we are
not at the present time contemplate
ing withdrawal of this service, and
you may so advise the members of
your Council, as well as other citizens
who may inquire about the matter.
Yours very truly,

about thirty performers, and exhibit

Especially fetching was the scene
as the curtain rose on the front part.
II was very suitably called "a study
in black and white :" The nobby suits
of the black comedians were white
trimmed in black, the back drop was
triple arch painting in the same
colors, and the seat covers also black
snd white.
The opening medley, comprising a
tafnbour:ne drill, vas well rendered,
and the boys received much applause
for their singing.
The solos by the different perform
ers revealed voices that were hereto
fore unknown and showed just what
could be done under very little
training. Mr.. Parlett did wonders in
bringing the boys to the front; and,
outside Of a temporary enjoyment in
three days show, what they learned
under him should be of permanent
value.

ACTIVITIES OF THE
COUNTY HEALTH NURSE
Many Patients Attend tuberculosis
Clinics Held In Various Parts
Of The County

At the request of the doctor repre-
senting the Public Athletic League,
who examined all the High School
girls in the county this year, the nurse
visited the homes of thirty girls to
advise parents to see their family
physician the advisability of having
physical defects corrected which were
found by the examining physician.
The interest in the work for the
prevention Of tuberculosis is increas-
ing. The March tuberculosis clinic,
conducted by DR.. John M. Nicklas,
medical consultant of the Maryland
tuberculosis Association, was held in
Berlin and there was an attendance
Of twenty-one patients. The April
clinic held in Pocomoke City was one
feature of National Negro Health
Week, and there was a total attend
ance of twenty-five, eighteen of these
being colored patients.
Many of these patients are visited
IN their homes later by the nurse to
insist that they see their family ply
sician and to follow his advise and
treatment.
The Public Health nurse talked to
two groups of teachers, telling them
ways in which demonstrations may be
arranged to interest the children and
parents in Public Health. Two COM
munity meetings were addressed by
the nurse during the week. Mr.. Os-
wald, County agent, very kindly CO.
operated with the nurse in this work
by showing films at the two commu-
nifty meetings, which demonstrated
ways of interesting children in form
ing good health habits and proper food
for growing children.

MEMORIAL SERVICE
AT St. MARY'S CHURCH
l6Ooth Anniversary Of Adoption OF
Nicean Creed To Be Celebrated
Sunday Evening

Sunday, at 7.30 there will be Chor-
al evensong in the Church of st. Mary
the Virgin, commemorating the 16OOth
anniversary of the Council of Nicea
and the adoption of the Nicean creed.
1t was in the spring of 325 A. D.
that Constantine, Emperor of Rome,
called the council ofNicea to deal with
the Arian heresy. The council and
creed took their names from the place
where the council was held. The name
of the city now, under Turkish rule,
is Isnik, in Asia Minor.
Arius was a priest of Alexandria,
and had quite strong following, who
taught that Jesus Christ was not CO.
equal with God the Father. This Ar
ian theory lost out in the Council but
it bothered the Church for more than
100 years.. AS the Church spread
north and west and east, Arianism
died a slow death by being left to it
self in North Africa and adjacent
parts.
For sixteen hundred years the Nj
cean creed has been recited in the
services of the Church. No body of
Christians has ever repudiated it.
Nicea settled once and for all that
Jesus Christ is the Son of God, "God
of God, Light of Light, Very God Of
Very God; begotten, not made; being
Of one substance with the Father; by
whom all things were made"

REV. GEO. E. BEVANS TO
co TO FAIRMONT, VIVA.
Former Pocomoke Man, Now Pastor
Of Elizabeth, N. J. Church,
To Make Change

Rev. George E. Bevans, for the last
ten years minister OF Greystone Pres
byterian Church, Elizabeth, N. j., has
resigned and has asked his congrega-
ton to unite with him in a request to
the presbytery for severance of his
pastoral relations with the church, to
take effect with the services of Sun
day, May 10. Rev. Mr.. Bevans' ac-
ton is due to his acceptance of u
unanimous call extended him two
weeks ago by the Presbyterian Church
of Fairmont, w. Va. The letter will
receive the official action of Grey
stone Church members at the church
annual meeting.
Rev. Mr.. Bevans' action was not
unexpected, as it had been known that
the West Virginia call presented an
attractive opportunity for enlarging
his field of service. Members of the
congregation were unanimous in ex-
pressing their regret at the decision,
however, which will terminate ten
year pastorate marked by consistent
growth in all the church's depart
ments. Situated in neighborhood
peopled with large foreign elements.
Greystone Church has not only ex-
emplifed it's motto-"The Church of
Friendliness," by adding many of
4I.aa. - So ob,,rob ,.ol1 b,,f hoe roach-
ed into all parts of the city and sub
urbs for it's membership. More than
600 members have been added to the
church during Mr.. Bevans' pastorate,
of whom 1O6 have been received dur
ing the last year.
On Sunday, March Is, Mr.. Bevans
preached by invitation at the Fair
mont Church, and on Friday March
27, meeting of the congregation vot-
ed to extend him call. Conferences
between church officials there and
Rev. Mr.. Bevans followed, and the de-
cision of the pastor was publicly an
nounced.
The Fairmont Church to which Mr..
Bevans is called has enjoyed twen-
ty-fve-year pastorate under. Rev. H.
G. Stoetzer, D. D., who was recently
obliged to retire because of failing
health. The church in housed in a
newly erected place Of worship, built
at cost of 100000.
