POULTRY ANATOMY
PRACTICALLY TAUGHT
Dissection Of Fowl Subjects Taken
Up AT Pocomoke High School
This Week.

To cap the study of poultry feed
ing, chicken was killed and dissected
in the Agricultural class Wednesday
morning. Mrs. Asa Pilchard, upon
the request of Clay, furnished the
bird. Ralph Harris, assisted by Will
son Sturgis and the other boys, killed,
picked the feathers and removed the
skin. Beginning at the beak the food
tract was deftly traced down to the
stomach, gizzard and through the in
,testines to the vent.
Cleveland Pilchard and Willard
Evans measured feet 11a inches of
intestine from the gizzard back. Cut
ting open the gizzard, caused the
eyes of Merrill Belote and Billy
Beauchamp to open wide upon seeing
chips of glass, buck shot and small
pebbles mixed with particles of food.
These are the hens teeth, it was ex-
planned. However, just how extreme
ly simple is the digestive system was
shown to these young poultry raisers.
Beginning at the vent the evident
was traced to its source, he ovary.
Just inside, up under the back, was
found large sack in which solid
egg may be felt in any laying hen.
Continuing on through the evident for
nearly IL inches of fleshy folds, a soft
shell containing albumen was found;
just back of this lay the yolk, and fl
nally about the middle of the bird a
cluster of yolks ranging in size from
a hickory nut to pin head.
"I surely did learn lot about a
chicken in those two hours" said
Clay.
Theory and illustrations, backd up
by this practical demonstration, GER
tainly drives home knowledge of a
chicken's internal makeup.

FOR VARIOUS POSITIONS

The season for base ball is soon to
open and the boys of Pocomoke High
School have already begun practice
of this favorite sport. The organiza-
ton of team that will bring home
to them the County championship re-
Guires the expenditure of much ener-
gy and consistent practice. There are
a large number of boys trying out for
various positions on the team this
year, which ought to bring favorable
results.

This schedule is complete giving the
date and place of every game played

P. H. S. is starting in this year
with the idea of winning every game

form of the Worcester county base
ball championship.
This being the right idea all should
support them by going to the games
and roofing.

REV. SAMUEL W. DuBOSE
CALLED TO POCOMOKE
Presbyterian Pastor To Occupy
Pulpit Of Pitts Creek Church
About June lst

Rev. Samuel Wil6s DuBose, at pres
ent occupying the pulpit of the Pres
byterian Church at Belle Haven, Va,
has accepted call from Pitts Greek
Church, this city, and will assume his
duties here about June l, next.
At congregational meeting held
last Sunday evening, a unanimous
vote was taken in favor of Mr.. Du
Bose, and, upon the presentation of
this call by committee in person, he
Immediately accepted the charge.
The minister is originally from
Georgia; is about forty-five years old;
married, and has family of children
consisting of four boys. Prior to his
church in Belle Haven, he filled the
pulpit at Easley, N. c., and has been
most acceptable in his ministerial re-
lations.
He preached twice before the con-
gregation of Pitts Creek Church, once
as a supply and once as a candidate.
He created most favorable impress
sions each time.
Mr.. Du Bose can look for hearty
welcome to Pocomoke, not only from
the members of his own church, but
from the whole community. The
brethren dwell together in unity in
this city, and are mutually helpful in
efforts to preserve moral and religious
welfare.

STATE OFFICIALS
T0BE INTERVIEWED
BY COUNTY WOMEN
Committee Of Worcester Women To
Wait On Governor Ritchie And
Commissioner Mackall
WANT STONE ROAD
AT DIVIDING CREEK

Work on the piece of road extend.
ing from the end of the State high
way in Somerset county in the direc-
ton of Dividing Creek, seems to have
been discontinued, owing, probably,
to unfavorable weather conditions.
Contractor West has, however,
proved that he has begun in the prop
ell way. His main idea seems to be
to clear the low place from a stand of
water.
To accomplish this, he has begun a
system of ditch draining and using
the earth to fill in the holes. This
earth is allowed to dry before being
used, and it is hoped will settle all the
more quickly into a solid smooth sur
face.
Repairs will also be made to the
Creek bridge, which, from all appear
ances, needs extensive overhauling.
This structure has settled so percep-
tibly as to give it. rather lop-sided
appearance; at one end it has ap-
parently sunk six or eight inches.
Whether this contributes to danger
Gus passage can not be very we'll de-
termined, but it would do no harm to
lift and ctronuthon If
Crossing the bridge into Worces-
ter the going is a bit smoother for a
short distance, but good only so far
as being passable in all weather, the
shell foundation doing good service.
But it's uneven surface is a thorn in
the flesh of all travellers and they
would welcome improvement.
Efforts have been made and are
now being made to get the State in
terested in this section of Worcester
county, but the Commissioner Of high
ways doesn't seem to look in that d.
rection. There are, however, some
very few energetic women who are on
the job, and if Governor Ritchie and
Mr.. Mackall do not come across, they
have troublous times ahead of them.
These women are on the right side of
the question, too; there is no section
of lateral road where the traffic is
heavier than on this. There, too, is
need from an agricultural standpoint
There are farms which are without
tenants owing to difficult ingress and
egress. Development of farming is
retarded, school attendance is made
difficult and the life of a big commu.
uity is hampered by the nature Of the
highways.
1t is to be hoped these people will
soon have thir efforts rewarded in the
matter of lateral road.

Harris for the shot put; while Hop
kins; w. Sturgis; Outten; E. Mason
and c. Mason, Mcdaniel, Bunce, Sar-

of the diocese between convention

in the meantime it has grown to a.
bout double the size.

a prospecting permit for lands upon the same structure as that where the drilling is carried on may be considered a contribution towards the cost of proving the structure which will warrant allowance of extension of time in which to comply with the terms of his permit. if contribution may be considered acceptable in oth- CT respects, and if the stock does not have a market value or is not saleable. Clearly, if the stock has market value the stock IS Tn It. self a consideration flor the purchase price and there is no contribution as contemplated here. Purchase money for stock which does not go to the corporation or which is not needed or used to meet the cost of testing the. structure, is not a contribution which can be accepted as sufficient in this connection.
 In order to make the purchase of stock acceptable as contribution as applicable in the matter under con- sideration, the department must be satisfied that the purchase induced l the corporation to begin, or to con- tinue drilling, when in the absence of such purchase it would not have begun, or continued to drill. That 1 does not mean, of course, that the purchase of stock by one permit holder must be sufficient, in and of itself, as an inducement but that sev- eral permit holders may join in mak- ing contributions by means of means therefore.
 While no rule can be laid down which will govern every case of this nature, the department will insist that contributions shall be substantial taking into consideration the con- tributing permit holders area, the amount that has been expended in the test or the estimated cost there off, and the sourse of means therefor
 As heretofore instructed in Circu- lar No. 946, all applications for ex- tension field in your office, when complete, will be transmitted to this office with your report thereon.

LAND OFFICE RECEIVES COPY OF INSTRUCTIONS ON PERMIT
 REGULATIONS. a0

The following circular, No. 1041. was received at the Anchorage land office on the last mail from the com- missioner of the general land office at Washington, containing informa- tion regarding oil permit extensions which will be of general interest to holders of permits in Alaska. The circular dated November II, is ad- dressed to registers of land offices and is signed by William Spry, con- missioner, it reads as follows:
 On November 4, 1925, in letter ad- dressed to this office, the department issued as supplemental to the instruc- tions contained in Circular No. 946 (50 L. D., 567), the following regula- tions:
 Contribution development programs should be submitted to the depart ment at their inception in order that it may be determined whether, upon the facts disclosed in given case, any and all permittees proposing to contribute may do so with the as surance that so long as the test is diligently prosecuted thru their ef- fonts, but limited to the period pro- yided for in the leasing act and the act of January II, 1922, supra, drill ing on their own permits will be ex- cused
 In cases of individual applications for extension of time, every applicant must show by legal subdivisions section, township and range where the test we'll is being, or is ito be drilled.
 Every application of this nature vii 1 be referred to the geological survey for report. If the survey shall report unfavorable the application will be rejected by you, subject to appeal. I the survey shall report that it Is without sufficient data as to struc. lures in the region upon which to base recommendation, only contributions by permittees the greater portions of whose permit areas are within six mile square formed by going three miles in each cardinal direction from the northeast corner of the le. gal subdivision on which the tes 1 well is found, or from the corner nearest which the test well is show1 to be found, will be recognized.

GREELEY REl|| } FEELS |''|; ! L INVESTIGATION.
 WILLARD WORK
REGARDS DETAIL OF tHElNTZLE- MAN IMPORTANT STEP IN
 FOREST PROGRAM

The detail of B. F. Heintzelman for a six-months investigation of the pulp and paper manufacturing industry in the States and Canada; to be started early next year, is considered by U. s. Forester w. B. Greeley to be the most important step yet taken. by the Forest Service looking toward the development of Alaskan forests and utilization of it's potential water power resources. This was the statement made re- gently to representative of the Ju- neau Empire by District Forester c. H. Flory.
 He has just returned from con- ference of U. S. District Foresters with Col. Greeley and other Wash ington officials, held last month in Denver, Colo. The investigation, he added, is the realization of a long-held and talked of desire and has been the subject of much dis cussion during the past year, on the part of officials of the Alaska dis trct.
 While we knew that the oppor- tunities for development of the pulp and paper manufacturing in- dustry are practically unparalled through almost ideal local, natural conditions, we have realized for sometime that we lacked a great deal of definite information con- nected with, financial, economic and other phases of the industry which was necessary before we could suc- cessfully present those opportunities to those already interested in the industry itself," MT. sFlory said. Col. Greeley readily agreed with them, he added, and approved the proposi- tion enthusiastically, lending his as- sistance in securing the allotment of necessary funds to finance MT. Heintzelman's trip and work.
 Briefly, MT. F1ory said, this in- vestigation will include close study of the manufacturing and marketing conditions, study of pres ent and possible future Canadian forest policies, getting in touch with certain groups of capital interested in pulp and paper making. The task is expected to consume not l less than six months.
 If the results of MT. Heintzel- mans work are favorable we hope it will lead to putting on a sales representative permanently" MT. Flory said.
 The Denver conference, which is an annual occurrence, MT. Flory said, was the most inspirational he had ever attended. Forestry policies were reviewed and general admin istrative details discussed between the District Foresters and their 
 chief.
 After leaving Denver MT. Flory went to San Francisco where he talked with officials of the Zeller- bach Co.,, regarding possible exten- sion by them of their interests to Alaska. He was encouraged by his reception and MT. Heintzelman will confer with them when he goes south next month. He also saw F. c. Dougherty, San Francisco broker who has been attempting to promote a pulp and paper manufacturing project at Thomas Bay for about two years. The latter was optimistic over the outlook and apparently was confident of actual development l beginning next year. From San Francisco, MT. F1ory went to Port land for a conference with officials of the Oregon Washington district and visited friends while in the city. He joined Mrs. Flory there and returned home with her..
