The general programme in these
counties heretofore has principally
been along the lines Of dairy and poul-
try development, together with horti-
culture. and it is not intended to
change the present method of agricul-
ture. but merely to add the grape and

FIELD DAY TO Be HELD
in P0COMOKE MAY |
Official OF Public Athletic League
Visits High School This Week
To Instruct Athletes

On Wednesday, April 8 1925, one
Of the official referees of the Public
Athletic League of Maryland, Keefel
Funk, spent the afternoon in POGO
moke schools.
Since many schools participate in
the Field day events and each school
has different coach the sending of
an official referee out before Field
day lends degree of fairness that is
very much appreciated. In order to get
the boys used to the gun some time
was spent in starts for the dashes.
Suggestions pertaining to the relays,
speed ball, volley ball and the other
events were also made.
Time was not only spent with the
boys but the girls as we'll came in for
share of pointers that would give
them a little better idea as to what
was being done by the girls of the
State. In all Mr.. Funk spent the en-
tire afternoon in Pocomoke and as
sisted in coaching the grades, and the
High school boys and girls.
The first day Of May is Field day.
Time is passing so rapidly that every
suggestion is indeed accepted that
will help toward winning that big day.

Former SnouO Hill Man
Returns To County

G. Parker Smith for the last fifteen
months, manager of the Hotel Avon,
left Easton after the hotel had hang
ed ownership. He returns wit his
family to Snow Hill.
Mr.. Smith has made remarkable
success of the hotel. Under his direc-
Mon it regained it's old time reputa-
fion and excelled it. The house has
been repainted and papered, new
kitchen and dining room equipment
rooms with bath increased, and high
grade service given in every particu-
lar. So popular had the hotel become
under his management that it was
filled to capacity continually, and had
it not been sold, the plans were in to
increase its size.
