TRINITY EPISCOPAL CHURCH

The outstanding event in the Grant
wood Episcopal Church last week was
the acquisition of splendid organ.
In fact, it will be the most important
event in the life of the church prob
ably for some time to come, for in the
purchase of this fine Moller organ
from st. Bartholomew Church, New
York City, is the realization of long
cherished dream for which the church
members have earnestly worked for
years and when the organist. Mr..
w. S. B. Dana, got on the track of
this instrument it took little time for
the Reverend DR.. Beach, with the CO.
operation of the vestry, to make the
purchase.
When the notice was given out ON
Sunday last it brought thrills to the
congregation, for when the organ is
finally in place it will be the finest
along the Palisades.

ing over the question of offering of

the reconstruction work in Japan.
Miss Elliott of Englewood will be the
speaker of the afternoon.
Present Fine Program
The excellent program presented on
Thursday evening in the Guild Hall
of Trinity Episcopal Church deserved
a much larger audience, although a
| goodly number were out, and those
who were felt that they enjoyed a
real musical treat, all of it local tai
ent except two friends of Mr.. Ia

the male quartet.
| Four part songs were sung by the
choir, also several encores, and their
rendition showed fine training in the
distinct enunciation and time and
harmony.
The male quartet gave four pro-
gram numbers and several encores,
ending with that popular old favorite,
"Old Kentucky Home" and every one
was delighted with their harmonious
ensemble work.
Miss Adelaide Ahrling, accompanied
by Miss Marie Ahrling at the piano,
sang two selections in a beautiful
voice. The two other soloists were
already favorites in the town, Mr..
Gaess, whose melodious tenor, accom-
panied at the piano by Mrs. Floyd
Beach, was at its best, and Dorothy
Donaldson Caliandro, whose violin
solos, accompanied by Miss Helen
Donaldson, were much appreciated.
The object of the entertainment
was the establishment of fund for
the purchase of additional choir equip
ment.

Ten thousand dollars year is little
enough for an able congressman. We
pay for courage of opinion as well as
for ability to have an opinion. The
act of not taking a roll call vote on
the increase of salary which the con-
gressmen voted themselves showed
that there were many members that
belong to the class known as politi-
clans. One might expect board of
aldermen of a sea coast town to raise
their salaries in that way. This one
act-the manner in which it was done
conveys to the country that the
raise is unwarranted.
Job Hedges is gone. He amused
many people. His wit was accompa-
MED by many solid parts, but known
to the public as wit and in sense
comedian of the platform, he was
not taken seriously by the public and
they refused him public position by
election. For important places the
public demand serious men.
The candidates for governor are
making known the demand that is be-
ing made privately to them that they
enter the race. 1t is said that the
date of the primaries will be set back
to June. This makes necessary an
early notice of candidacy. Governor
Silzer has made a good governor,
serving under Republican legisla-
ture. His start as writer of an in
augural was a fast one. After two
years service there is not much that
can be remembered that has been
done in harmony with it. Chiefly be-
cause there was much idealism in it
which with his strength it was impos-
sible to accomplish. He has made a
reasonably strong effort to improve
matters. 1t may be said that his ad-
ministration is satisfactory and show
ed progress over the previous one.

young Darby is being congratulated
on all sides. The reputation of John

Commissioner Earle is arranging with
Commissioner w. Mcdonald Lee of
Virginia, to take up crab conserva-

will meet Maryland officials and
Maryland crab dealers, at a confer

at which time the future of the
Chesapeake Bay crab industry will be
discussed and methods promulgated
to protect the industry. 1t is hoped
to reconcile the differences between
the grabbing interests of the two

wasteful practices of which Virginia
accused Maryland, may also be dis

IS YOUR WORK. HARD?
Many Pocomoke City Folks Have
Found How to Make Work
Easier.

What is so hard as days work
with an aching back?
Or sharp staos of pain at every
sudden twist or turn?
There is no peace from that dull
ache.
No rest from the soreness, lame
ness and weakness.
Many folks have found relief
through Doan's Pills. They are
stimulant diuretic to the kidneys.
Pocomoke City people 1ecommend
Doan's.
Edward N. Tull, carpenter, Laurel
& Second SITS. Pocomoks City, says:
"My work is a heavy strain on my
back and kidneys. l often had such a
dull aching and soreness across my
kidneys, it was all could do to keep
going. My kidneys acted irregular
ly, too. | finally got Doan's Pills at
Lloyd & Blaine's Drug Store, ard they
fixed me up in good shape"

GROUP
What To Do Quick

Group steals into the children's
threats in the dead of night-only the
shifting, coughing, running nose
warn you ahead of time.
Why not give your children the
protection Of COTS Quick-Action
Cough Syrup-a treatment that has
been passed down from generation to
generation. A dose at bed time near
ly always prevents Group coming on.
COTS gets to the seat of the trouble
--soothes the infamed membranes
brings up the phlegm-helps to fight
the germs. 1t is recommended to
prevent coughs and colds developing
into pneumonia, as well as for Group
and whooping cough. For old, for
young, and in between.
COTS Quick-Action Cough Syrup
contains absolutely NO CHLORO-
FORM, NO DOPE. Don't take chanc-
es with your loved ones. COTS is
safe, quick-acting and pleasant.
Mrs. C. J. Boyer of Weissport, Pa,
states enthusiastically: 81 am never
without your cough syrup. 1t cured
my little boy of stubborn cough that
lasted four weeks. One bottle cured
it entirely. Goff's Cough Syrup, l

Self Denial Practiced
During Lenten Season

Lent extending over the long period
of forty days, began February 25th
Ash Wednesday, and will continue un-
til the balmy breezes of the first days
of April have famed the heads of the
violets and fresh green grass. Dur
ing this period, so significant in the
religion of many people, social events
and gala festivities which have had
their swing and been in full sway all
during the winter, will, to a certain
extent, come to an end and only a few
card parties, musicals, teas and the
like be in evidence.
In the calendar the following ami
versaries come during Lent: Shrove
Sunday or as it is known in the
church Quinquagesima, February %;
Ash Wednesday, February 25; Palm
Sunday, April 5; first day of the Pass
over April 8; Good Friday, April 10,
and Easter Sunday, end of all mourn
ing and fasts, April. IL.
During Lent, it is the custom to
practice the habit of self denial and
to mediate upon the meaning of the
events which transpired in the days
when our Lord tasted in the wilder
ness and was tempted by Satan.
Many persons at this time decide upon
some special form of denial and. re-
frain from attending affairs of gayety
or from spending money on superfu-
Gus objects of their desire. Prayer
and meditation mark the services held
in the churches; flowers and other
decorations are less profuse on affairs;
and everywhere, whether it is being
observed in more commercial walks of
life or not, its religious appeal and
importance are felt.

Railroads Cut Down Activity
r Of Eastern Shore Steamboats,
Only Two Lines Operating To Baltimore Many Rivers
Formerly Used By Busy Craft-Now Locomotive
Replaces The Sidewheeler.

PRODUCTION of the railroads practically
all the Eastern Shore trade went to
Baltimore, and it was soon demon
strated that the Shore could be made,
with the advent of the train service,
market garden, equal to the de-
mand of the great consuming popula-
ton of the East and North, and that
shipping to Baltimore was going
backward.
The diversion of perishable food
stuff to the better markets of the
East and North was the cause of Bal
timore losing it's trade with the
Shore and not because of discrimina-
ton by the railroad companies, it is
pointed out.
Since the railroads reached their
peak in 1890, the steamer trade has
gradually dropped off and the rail-
roads have ramifed until the PENN
sula is cut out like a crossword puz-
zle.
Railroads running north and south
are cut at five points by other roads
running at right angles. Gradually
the locomotive has displaced the side
wheeler. The wharves have gone down
and are no longer disable; the steam
ers have discontinued many of their
trips into the recesses Of the streams.
Greensboro, Denton and other points
on the Choptank river have been en-
tirely abandoned, and only two
wharves, short distance upstream,
above Cambridge, on the Choptank,
are in service.
But one boat a week journeys up
the Tired Avon river to Easton, and
dock at Easton Point is falling down.
Less than thirty years ago there were
two steamers each day each way from
this point to Baltimore.
General Seth says that the Chop
tank is simply an illustration OF the
trade on other rivers.
The tonnage of the entire Shore
with Baltimore city is not one-tenth
of what it was thirty years ago, he
says, and is fast decreasing.
The two little ferry lines that we
have are almost all that is holding US
at all, and, if they are discontinued,
don't know what we will do" de-
clares this shipping pioneer.

CRAB PROTECTION
TO Be DISCUSSED
Conservation Commissioners
Of Maryland And Virginia
To Meet In Crisfield

Methods looking to the further pro-
lection of the Chesapeake Bay crab
supply are expected to be inaugural
ed by the Maryland and Virginia
fisheries officials and those engaged
in the industry in the two states, at
conference which will be held in
Crisfeld the latter part of March.
AS the result of call from Wal
lace M. Quinn some days ago, Conser-
vationer Swepson Eearle went to
Crisfeld recently and held meeting
with the Oyster, Fish and Crab Pro-
tective Association, for the purpose of
learning the views of the local crab
packers on the conservation methods
desired. The Association appointed a
committee composed of Isaac H.
Tawes, Wallace M. Quinn, Chas. A.
Loockerman, w. L. Tull and J. c. w.
Tawes, to study the crab situation

Fire of undetermined origin broke
out in Collisions block, Seaford, Del.

$4,000, with little insurance.
The cigar and tobacco store of

Benny Wilson, living on the farm of
Joseph Taylor, at Ivytown, Talbot
county, in company with his wife and
eldest daughter, left five little chill
dren in the house to attend party at
neighbours house. It is said the
parents did not leave the house until
nearly 10 o'clock, and the children
were put, to bed before they left.
While the party was at it's height
some one saw a blaze in the distance,
and among those who left the party
to locate the fire was Wilson. He
soon saw his home in ashes, and the
remains of his five children charred
beyond recognition.
Between the iron posts of the bed
were seen the remains of three Of the
children. At the door downstairs was
found the remains of another one, and
underneath the stove was the other
body.
The origin of the fire is unknown.
Sheriff Hopkins made an investiga-
ton and brought the parents to Eas-
ton. Magistrate Johnston and States
Attorney North both decided to let
them go for the present. No inquest
was held. The children ranged in
ages from II to 2 years old.

several plans for relief and the coun-

Meanderings Of A Mildly
Militant Mind
If Pocomoke Were Paradise

There are many things some of US
might not enjoy-if Pocomoke were
Paradise.
There would be no one to criticise;
no one to condemn; no one upon whom
to practice petty airs of condescen-
sion; no one, anywhere, to patronize
and pity or pass by in silent disdain.
Ears accustomed to gossip would
miss hearing the rustling rags of
ruined regulations, the signs of the
unfortunate, the cries of the dis
tressed.
Statement of facts, unembellished
by the touch of imagination or twisted
by personal prejudice out of all SEM
blance to the truth, would-for some
rob conversation of it's charm.
Accuracy of speech demands mental
effort; and we should be compelled to
practice it or remain silent.
The latitude we allow ourselves
here would be out of character there.
It would be necessary to be clean,
kind, honest, energetic and progress
sive.
Success would meet with congratu-
lation,. not covetousness; and we
should know that, not achievement a.
lone but the way we achieve, deter
mines it.
Goals unfairly gained mean failure.
If Pocomoke were Paradise, we
know that religion is secret spring
of honest service, not a public parade
of pseudo-piety; and our voices would
be lifted in devotional exercises of
thanksgiving and praise.
Our place of work would become
our place of worship; and reverence
of God and all things good be con-
tinual practice instead of an occasion
al pretense.
Christian unity would exceed de-
nominational pride; and the provision
of adequate school-rooms be given
precedence over the construction of
superfuous church pews.
With abundant light, streets all
paved, and water free, expenses would
be so reduced as to give us great con-
Germ lest there be corresponding re-
duction in taxes, and our citizens
thereby be deprived of the joy they
now experience in paying them.
And, with no plum tree in garden
where prizes were awarded on merit
only, and neither a plump purse, po-
litical pull, nor a peculiar prestige,
one for remunerative
positions, whereof where, pray
you tell-would some of our stellar
lights cast the brilliance of their
beams?
