The subscription and advertising
campaign which had been in progress
for more than six weeks, closed on
Wednesday night last, with the can
didates final standing as follows:
Miss Pauline East. "a .SO7. 900
Mrs. Katherine Etchinson. ..22, ,36O, 100
Miss Annie Northam. ,649, $50
Mrs. Jas. S. Clogg gg...5,6 ,676,O5O
Mr.. w. L. Byrd ,071 200
Mrs. Josephine Gillis 1928, 200
Miss Thelms Birmingham .628, ,45O
Mrs. Garland Bull .235, 500
The first six received prizes, and
the other Two commission on the a.
mount brought in. AS named above
they will receive the following prizes:
Studebaker coach; Ford touring car;
diamond ring; an Edison phono-
graph; wrist watch; and handsome
floor lamp.
The final count was somewhat of a
surprise, since Mrs. Etcheson had been
leading for weeks, and was considered
a winner. Miss East had stuck game
ly to the runner-up position, and dur
ing the last three days made wonder
full progress, passing under the wire
winner by safe margin.
All the candidates showed wonder
full energy and developed most unex-
pected powers of salesmanship. The
experience they gained must have
served as valuable lessons in human
nature land they should all now be
adopts in human approach.
There were, of course, disappoint-
ments, but these will always follow
when two or more are contesting for
the same thing. 1t cannot go to all.
, The first prize-the Studebaker-was
most coveted and all felt, more or less
keenly, their failure to secure it.
| Possibly the first and second can
didates were the most elated and the
most detected over the winning and
losing OF the Grand Prize
The Democrat has increased it's cir
culation to such an extent as to make
its advertising space infinitely more
valuable, and only by this can it be re-
turned winner. All those who took
part, from the Brayton Syndicate
down to the smallest commission earn
Ter, are present benefciaries; the Dem
ocrat must look to the future for re-
suits of its campaign.
| The thanks of all concerned in the
actual conduct of the campaign are
extended to the public generally for
whatever was done to make the drive
a success. The newspaper belongs to
the public, exists for their benefit, and
the Democrat will strive to be their
servant.
1t solicits the aid of every commu-
nifty it enters, and it always will stand
for the betterment of every town or
county where it may be a visitor.

The Worcester County Medical Asso-

pursuing his daily employment the ac-

Pocolnoke And Berlin
Soccer Teams Play
To A Scoreless Tie
Berlin Wins County Championship
By One Point.-Protest Entered
With Public Athletic League

The game of soccer played in this
city last week, between Berlin and
Pocomoke City, resulted in a scoreless
tie. The winning of the contest would
have given Pocomoke the county
championship; the tie constituted Ber-
lin the champion ,as she already had a
small lead.
One unfortunate circumstance con-
nected with this game was the fact
that the legal time for the halves was
cut from twenty-five minutes to twen-
ty, without, so far as can be learned,
any authority for it. This may or
may not have had any direct infiu-
.ence on the result; but, in game
where the championship was concern
ed, it would seem to have been better
judgment to give the contestants the
full benefit of the regular twenty-five
minute halves. Even had the two
captains agreed upon shorter periods,
the referee should have held them TO
the rules Of the game.
For, it can readily be seen that the
cut in the length was all to the ad-
vantage of the team in the lead on the
seasons schedule. Berlin with her
advantage of one point could confine
herself entirely to defensive tactics
tand win. Evidently that is what she
did, as there was no scoring. The
maturer judgment of the referee
should have insisted upon full-length
periods.
1t is understood that protest was
sent in to the authorities of the Public
Athletic League, but it will probably
not change the results. The team
here was notified that a meeting Of
the games committee would be held
Enthusiastically, and if the POGO
moke school would send witnesses
there, the committee would be glad to
hear the protest. Inasmuch as funds
are not available to finance the ap-
pearance in Baltimore of one or more
to testify as to the circumstances, the
matter will probably not be brought
up.
The Pocomoke boys are to be con-
graduated on their seasons showing.
After brilliant start, for some rea-
son they slumped. Outclassing their
opponents in the first two games to
such an extent as to stamp them at
once as winners, they proceeded to
drop the next two games, a set back
hard to overcome. They came back
strong on the fifth contest, and in the
final struggle tied the 1925 champions
Berlin. The small lead of one point,
held by Berlin was preserved by the
score of O to O.
All efforts should now be bent tow
ard next year. Forget the outcome
of this season, and determine to win
the 1926 premier honors in the county
high school soccer league.

Useful Information
As To Hog Raising
And Crop Growing
Department Of Agriculture Furnish.
es Valuable Information To
The Farmers.

Since there is misunderstanding or
the part of some farmers in this sec
tion as to the usefulness of the infor
nation as to hog production and crol
acreages, obtained from the card.
distributed by the rural mail carriers
Postmaster Schoolfield has requested
the Democrat to publish the follow
ing statement furnished him by the
United States Department of Agricul
ture:
These surveys are made with the
help of the rural carriers, who either
distribute the cards to a certain NUM-.
Der of farmers along their routes
with the request that these be fillec
cut, or the carrier fills out the care
! himself by interviewing the farmer
The carrier is instructed to get infor-
nation from farms which will give a
good average picture or sample OF
farms on his route, preferably by TAX
ing all of the farms along a part OF
his route, big and little, good and poor
owned and rented.
The need and value of such infor-
nation for individual farmers and ag.
ricultUre in general hardly need be
stressed. Without dependable infor-
nation as to actual production anC
trends of production both of livestock
and crops more balanced production
and better market distribution are i'm
possible.
The Department of Agriculture is
the best qualified agency to undertake
such work, but the accuracy of it's es-
Inmates depends upon the accuracy OF
the returns made by farmers.
The beneficial effects that such in
formation may have upon price is
shown by the level Of hog prices dur
ing the winter of 1924-25 compared
to the previous winter. The pig sur
veys of June and December 1924
showed decided decrease in hog pro-
duction in 1924 compared to 1928
IMarketings, however, during the Win
ter from the 1924 crop were almost as
large as the previous winter, and in
December and January were the high
est on record. In spite of these heavy
marketings, hog prices were from 81
to So per hundred higher than during
the winter before.
But unless these estimates can be
kept dependable the trade will disre.
gard them and will be guided either
by private estimates or by actual mar.
ketings as these take place. There
fore, every farmer should help to make
these reports accurate by making the
report for his own farm complete ano
accurate.
