ference To Be Staged AT The
University Of Maryland

The third annual Rural Women 5
Conference and Short Course at Uni
vers;ty of Maryland, College Park,

sive.
The appreciation of the Confer

PAINTING AND BUILDING
NOW TO The FORE
Citizens Of Pocomoke Toning Up
Property-New Building Work
Now In Full Swing

An epidemic of house painting seems
to have struck the denizens of Second
street, and the improvements alon 3
this line have added much to this al
ready attractive thoroughfare of this
city.
The Presbyterian manse has been
treated to a coat of cream and white; !;
Elijah Schoolfeld has provided SINH
lar dress for his imposing home; the
new M. E. Church parsonage, Of
course, is displaying it's recent coat;
Mrs. E. J. Schoolfeld's house, the old
Merrill residence, is revelling in a
delicate tint of yellow; Mrs. James
Lockerman sticks to conventional
white; Al w. Mcdaniel tones his
down to an attractive grey; and J. W.
Singleton has improved his house
with coat of white These present a
neat and comfortable appearance and
surely attract the notice of passersby.
In the way of improvements, it
might be we'll to note the activity in
the building line. William Stevenson
is finishing very neat and comfort
able home at the foot of Front street;
George Bunting is rushing to COM
pletion his house near Mr.. Stevenson
but fronting Linden avenue; w. H
Dryden is building a brick residence
on Linden avenue between Second
and Third, in keeping with the al
ready attractive places in that section;
Mrs. F. M. Wilson is erecting a splen-
did house on her vacant lot, corner
Market and Second, to take the place
Of the one destroyed by the fire; and
Clinton Duncan will soon move into
his new home on Market street neal
Sixth.
In contemplation there are two
more residences to be built. These
will, so it is said, be placed on the H
c. Powell property, out Market street
The building already standing on this
desirable location will, so it is report
ed be moved further along the lot out
Market street way, and the two new
buildings will occupy the corner and
center of the three lots into which this
site is divided.
In addition to these, the new can
ming factory of Jones and Gelder a.
cross the River, is assuming big pro
portions; the Mason cannery is get
tin gready for business, and R. l.
Lednum is enlarging his plant.

DIR. ENOCH B. CAREY GUEST
OF POCOMOKE ROTARY CLUB
Addresses Club On Changes At ST. Johns Colege-Fned
For Violation OF State Auto Laws While In City

on the Board Of Visitors and Cover
nors. A campaign for endowment IS
being successfully waged, and sound
financial status for the institution is
about to be assured.
DR.. Carey states that the new poll
cies have attracted much attention,
and he has received inquiries from
many different states for catalogues
and detailed information.
The President was making a tour
of the Shore, not hunting either
money or students; he was meeting the
alumni and seemed more intent on
securing their confidence and co-opera
tion than their contributions.
1t might be interesting to many of
the readers of the Democrat to know
that Prof. S. S. Handy, formerly of
Pocomoke Ciy, and for number of
years a teacher Of English at St.
Johns, has resigned, and has accepted
a position with the University of
Maryland.
In this connection, it is said that
the ability of great number of pro-
fessors. at st. Johns has been recog-
nized by other and larger institutions,
and a goodly number have resigned
to accept positions in such.

There seems to be something doing
in the way of fishing by the local
sports these days, and wonderful
things are happening.
The Channel Bass club has reor-
ganized and Billy Keim Ray Glad
u.ng, Granville Adams, Edgar Fon-
taine, Roland Talton, William S.
scnoo.held, and Mark Callahan, start
ed on last Tuesday to try fisherman's
luck, at Toms cove.
Billy Keim, Granville Adams, and
M. Callahan tried their luck from the
shore, but were not very successful.
Edgar Fontaine, Will Schoolfield, Ro-
land Talton, and Ray Gladding braved
the mighty seas, and the first named
hauled in 2-35 pound beauties.
He prided himself on his catch, and
preserved the evidence of it in pho
tograph, striking most imposing
pose. Doubtless his good fortune
will soon be the incentive Tor future
angling.
The Fontaine family seem to be
picked out for Walton favors. Edgar
Jr., went all the way to Carey's
creek to put in the first days of his
arduous vacation. There he threw one
of his longest casts Ordinarily, a
n1innow, sun perch, heel, cat fish, or
maybe, a pike, would nibble at his
bait. But something out of the line
was to happen this morning. A tug
on his hook evidenced something more
than tug from the above named.
A jumping, cavorting, fighting fish
was challenging the fisherman and
things became interesting. Playing
him for awhile, the Professor then

thought the time for landing his
prize had arrived, and, with a mighty
pull Topped the beauty on the bank.
When the fish struck, it became de-
tached from the hook. It was squirn?-
ing it's way to its native element,
when the Professor, in true foot ball
style, made flying tackle, and land

chest. Grabbing the struggling "ani-
mal," the astounded fisherman held

species probably never known to fire.
quent the wide eXpanse of Carey
creek waters, and possibly the first of
it's kind ever landed. To say the ang-
ler was both surprised and delighted,
is putting it mild.
Resuming the sport, it was not long
before another, an ounce or two heav-
ier was hooked; and as this one SEEM
ed to have swallowed everything but
the rod, no foot ball tactics had to he
called into service to secure him.
This was enough for one day. The
Professor had to come to town with
his story land the evidence to back
it. The fish were weighed so as 20
kill all accusations generally hurled
at the ordinary fisherman's yarn, and
the next heard of the finny specimens,
they had been reduced to bones by
the interesting family of the State
educator.
Reports have not as yet come from
the banks of Carey's creek since this
unusual catch, but no doubt the story
has gotten abroad, and many hook
has been invitingly baited to see if
the recent performance can be dupli-
Gated.

Former Countain To
Locate In Pocomoke
Charles Quasi Secures Agency For
America And Canada For The
Heatless Iron.

Charles Quasi, formerly of this
county and we'll known as an exten-
sive breeder of poultry, has decided
to locate in Pocomoke City, after
having resided for period in the
middle West, and in New Jersey.
Mr.. Quasi has secured the agency
for America and Canada for an az
ticle of household use, manufactured
in Europe, and extensively used in
the old country. This consists of an
iron that needs no heat for pressing
all sorts of cloths where starch is not
used-it is heatless iron.
One thousand of these machines are
en- route for Mr.. Quasi. They come
"knocked-down" and his business is to
assemble them. He will have apart
ments for himself and wife at the
home of Capt. 7. J. Veasey, and will
use, temporarily, the barn at the rear
of the house for assembling purposes.
He, however, seems optimistic as to
the growth of the business he is to
introduce, and if his expectations are
realized he will erect suitable quar-
ters for the trade.
Mr.. and Mrs. Quasi come from
Burlington, N. j. land will receive a
hearty welcome from the commu-
nifty.

VIRGINIA POTATOES
NOW BEING MARKETED
First Carload OF Season Shipped
Last Monday-Handled By
Peninsula Exchange

The marketing of the Eastern Shore
of Virginia Irish potato crop opened
officially last Monday, June 1, when
the first carload of the season was
loaded at Kiptopeke and handled by
the Peninsula Produce Exchange. The
potatoes in this first carload were
very we'll matured of good size, and
were shipped to C. c. Spencer & Sons,
Pittsburgh, Pa.
The growers on the branch road
from Cape Charles to Kiptopeke have
k started the ball rolling and there
will be no let-up until the entire crop
is marketed.
The peak of the movement from the
branch will probably be reached a
bout June 18th, which is at least two
weeks earlier than usual.

DR.. Enoch B. Carey, president OF
st. Johns College, Annapolis, Nd.
came to Pocomoke City on Monday
last, and was unfortunate enough to
fall into the hands of the law.
DR.. Carey, parked his car for few
moments alongside the Hotel and left
the motor running unattended.
A sharp-eyed motor cop soon NO
ticed this violation of auto laws and
compelled the owner of the car to ac-
company him to the magistrates Of
flee, where a fine of SIS and costs was
imposed upon the distinguished edu-
Gator. DR.. Carey realized he had Of
Tended, and paid the money without
any protest.
The st. Johns president was d
guest at the Rotary Club, and made
a short speech. In this he declared
st. Johns had gotten out of rut in
to which the old college had fallen.
and that it was now firmly planted
on higher ground. To effect this
there has been almost an entire change
of faculty, and men Of the highest
scholastic attainments have been Sc
cured; thereby giving the college
standard classification. Men of in.
fluence and high standing are serving
