Why not give your children the
protection of quick-acting treatment
that has been passed down from gen.
Grafton to generation because nothing
else does the work quite so we'll?
Why not do what Mrs. w. H. Krit-
chen, of McSherrystown, Pa, does
for her family. 81 have used COTS
Cough Syrup for five years." says
Mrs. Kritchen, "and never found a
better Cough Syrup for Group. I had
many cases of Group in my family. 1
had one case of diptheria and Group
together, in which the doctor gave the
child up, and did not think he would
live over night.
81 was giving COTS Cough Syrup
at the time and asked the doctor what
he thought of it. He told me to keep
on giving it. That was a big help to
the child-and he is living today, big
and hardy"
COTS gets to the seat of the trouble
soothes the infamed membranes
brings up the phlegm-helps to fight
the germs. No dope. No Chloroform.

New York Paper Announces
Tvelve-Page Comic Section

The Sunday New York American
announces distinct innovation start
ing next Sunday-amplifying the
greatest color comic section in the
world. Beginning next Sunday read
ers will get twelve pages of comics
instead of eight and the additional
four pages will compare more favor
ably with the list of universally popu-
lar comics that have been such big
factor in making the circulation of the
New York American more than a
million every Sunday. Such favorites
as Barney Google" and Bringing up
Father" will still be in the list and
the new comics will command an i'm
mediate reader following.
One special pagan entirely new
idea-called "Scrambled Comics" will
be featured and it is promised that
this page will be more interesting than
q cross word puzzle. On account of
this big 12-page permanent comic Sec
ton the demand will be unusually big
next Sunday and if you would avoid
disappointment it would be good
idea to order your Sunday American
in advance from your newsdealer.

FARMERS SEEK
GREATER RETURN
ON POTATO CROP
Growers On Eastern Shore
Seriously Weighing Adj
vantages Of Shipping Po-
tatoes In Bags.

The result of the use of moderate
quantity of BEMIS SPECIAL PO-
TATO BAGS last year was so salts
factory that plans are being made to
use them in greatly increased guam
tity this year. Potato growers all
over the Eastern Shore are seriously
weighing the advantages to be gained
and canvass of several Of the promi-
nent farmers dscloses a very active
interest.
With potatoes selling at prices
which prevailed last season and which
promise to be but little better during
the coming season, something must be
done to give the farmer greater re-
turn on his potato production.
Last year several hundred cars of
potatoes packed in Bemis Special Po-
tato Bags were shipped from North
ampton county and arrivals were just
as satisfactory as potatoes shipped in
barrels at the samee time. AS the
bags cost only about. Is cents and the
barrels were selling for 60 cents. it
can readily be seen what a tremen-
dous difference in return the buyer
received. Claims for damaged stock
caused by decay and rot were much
less than potatoes shipped in barrels.
This can be attributed to the ventila-
ton which is afforded potatoes when
shipped in bags.
The use of bags being new last year
some of the farmers did not have the
necessary equipment to load the bags
properly, and in few cases the field
help did not pack the bags carefully.
There were few complaints of short
weights, which were adjusted without
difficulty. This year the Bemis Bro.
Bag Co. has designed a special bag
filling rack which solves this problem.
These racks are very rugged and far
less expensive than any Of the adjus-
table bag racks which are sold COM
mercially. They are very simple to
operate by inexperienced help and
there is nothing complicated about
them to rust or get out Of order when
they are left in the field from month
to month.
The solving of the only problem
which appeared during the trial of
bags last year removes every obstacle
from the success Of this much less
costly package this year. 1t is expect
ed by next year the entire Eastern
Shore will be converted to the use of
bags. There is no reason why this
should not be, as new potatoes as we'll
as old potatoes are being shipped in
special bags from all potato growing
sections of the world, with the excep-
ton of the Eastern Shore. And in
order to compete with the other po-
tato growing sections of the United
States, it is quite certain the farmers
must give this proposition a thorough
trial which will undoubtedly result in
such saving as to enable the Eastern
Shore to hold it's position in the pota-
to markets of this country.

friends to me; but after a few weeks
came to West Philadelphia, and have
/ been here ever since, having lived at
/ my old home, 34th and SAMSON, for
more than 80 years The West Phila.
station is very near there and as the
new stat on is soon to be built there,
land is selling at over $500 square
foot. l sold my home there 7 years
ago when my husband died for $4,000,
a few years after it was resold for
$4,000. Now Pm told it will bring
$4,000. A dear friend of mine sold
a four story stone and brick house at
Sc and Walnut, when she went to
China 10 years ago for $4,000. Today
it is held at 100000. An old pupil of
mine rented house there, only a 2
story, when he was married years
ago. He could have bought it for
$4,000, today he has to move or pay
$4,000 for it. Blessed is he who owns
his own home here, for if you don't,
you may have to live in the street.
Now l must return to Pocomoke. I
did not intend, and don't intend to for
get to mention my last teacher, Prof.
Richard Wimbrough. He was always
SO kind to me, he was also my princi-
pal when 1 taught there. If the boys
Of today were willing to work and
study to get an education as he did,
we wouldn't have so many students
stealing autos, etc. 1t does seem that
sooner than work or study for an edu-
cation, they'll walk the streets and
steal or beg. Mr.. Wimbrough kept
his book propped open and studied
while he worked at his trade, and of
all the teachers l ever had, no doubt
he worked the hardest, and had the
most to buck up against. He was a
fine teacher, and so kind always to
me.
In my 40 odd years of teaching all
told, I've taught some mighty fine
children but of all that I have taught
with the exception Of my children and
grandchildren, the two that I loved
best are gone and sleeping at oppo-
sides Of the earth, Mary McMaster
Willis in Pocomoke City, Md, near
her beloved father and mother; and
Alberta Kempton Fitch, in Shanghai,
China, by the side of her father she
loved so much.

sometimes feel pretty old. Well, in
two more years I'll be three-score and
ten. Ex-Vice President Thomas r.
Marshall says, "When the good Lord
allows anyone to live three score and
ten, the people should allow them to
do as they please after that" So if I
live / can soon do as I please you see.
I do not want to live to be very old,
for as in one Of the last poems my
husband wrote, this verse occurs.
ut is not we'll to live too long
Full many ills the old betide,
And he who reaches full four score
Has few his aged steps to guide"
I had seven very happy weeks with
my old friends, and my young ones
also; this last summer, and if never
come that way again, you all know
that I shall not forget you and in the
language of Tiny Tim, want to say,
"God Bless You everyone" and that
