LEWIS PLAYERS GIVE
fine ENTERTAINMENT
Audience Loud In Praise OF Show
Presented AT Empire Theatre
Thursday Evening

A very fair-sized audience greeted
the Lewis players in the Empire Thea
ter on Thursday night and pronounced
them good. No doubt the Hall was
we'll filled last night, and will be to-
night.
The programme consisted of a
three-act melo- drama entitled "Whose
Daughter Inasmuch as no programs
were distributed, it is impossible to
refer to the performers by name, but
by circulars sent out "Dick Lewis" is
referred to as the funny man, and
Miss Myrtle Francis, as the leading
lady. There seemed to be, tho, six
people in the company.
The cast contained such parts as
are usually portrayed in that sort Of
play: the william; the anxious mother
and wayward child; the diamond in
the rough; and the incidental partici-
pants in the love story.
These were all very we'll presented.
"Dick" Lewis was funny and no mis-
take. He sustained his part as if he
really enjoyed it, and if he did not,
then his art was all the more credit
abel. His "down in Ioway" theme
was we'll portrayed, and his rugged,
no-compromise attitude, mixed with a
native humor and ridiculous makeup,
kept kept the audience well interested.
Miss Francis leading lady part was
rather obscured by the comedy part,
but she, as we'll as the other two fe-
male parts, were natural, interpreter
tive, and easy.
The william shared honors with the
funny" and as proof of his effort
on the audience, his failure in his
schemes was roundly applauded. The
otker male parts made up credtable
support, and no fault can be found
with the whole presentation.
The vaudeville part of the pro-
gramme consisted of songs, dances,
and clever quips; the jazz band was
a natural accompaniment, and gave an
air of completeness to the modern
style of entertainment. The Lewis
players are we'll worth going to see.

Large Crowds Expected To
Attend Sessions, Of Agri-

SOMETHING DOING
EVERY MINUTE.

Next Monday and Tuesday should
be red-letter days for Pocomoke City.
These mark the coming and staying
of the lecturers sent by the Inter-
national Harvester Company. A two
day programme will be offered and the
subjects of the talks will all be chosen
with a view to aiding the home, the
school, the farm, the people generally.
Much has been done in the way of
advertising. Newspapers, dodgers,
circular programmes, have been sent
out and the affair has received much
talking up." There should be large
attendance.
Possibly the class most interested
is the farmer. He will listen to the
discussion of such topics os Farm m
convenience" "Soils and Soil Fertili-
ty," "Small Fruit and Vegetable Gar
den," Poultry on the Farm" and any
other subject connected with soil
products, the farmer desires to listen
to.
The speakers are all practical as
well as theoretical men. They have
studied we'll and have produced well.
They undoubtedly have something
valuable to impart, anC they are
ready to give all who desire to listen,
the benefit of their knowledge and ex-
perience.
The citizens OF Pocomokc should
stand ready to give hearty welcome
to all the people. These meetings
should furnish an opportunity for bet
ter acquaintance between the town
and county people. The merchants
and citizens generally are ready to do
everything poss BILE for the convent
ence and pleasure of all visitors; and
if the weather man will be good and
hand out the sort of days any decent
weather man should, the meeting of
next week should be a most agreeable
and profitable one.

Messrs. Mason, Of Newark,
Acquire Old Ashburn
Lumber Site
ALL.YEAR-ROUND
WORK CONTEMPLATED

F. f. Hudson, a live Real Estate
agent reports sale for the Peninsula
Produce Exchange of part of their
property over the railroad and along
the River, known as the Ashburn
property, to J. L. Mason and Ralph
Mason of Newark, Md.
These gentlemen purpose to conduct
ar up-to-date canning factory at Po-
comoke City. 1t is their intention to
make their plant most complete one
by packing Snap beans, Lima, beans,
early and late tomatoes, Kieffer pears,
Sweet potatoes, pumpkins and squash;
in fact, everything that is produced in
this section and suitable for packing.
This is something long wished for
in this community and cannot help but
be materially beneficial to all-frst
to the farmer because of the fact that
he can now get away from the one
crop idea, and diversity his planting
with the practical assurance of fair
return for any crop he may grow; if
he cannot get fair prices on the mar
ket for his early tomatoes, beans, ETC.,
the packers will use them at a price
that will save loss. Heretofore the
grower has been afraid to risk much
on tomatoes and beans, for the reason
that as soon as they get actively
started to shipping the market usu-
ally begns to decline and when his
crop is really best the product will
hardly pay freight.
Ralph Mason, who will manage the
paint here, will reside in Pocomoke
City, and says that when the new in
dustry gets going they expect to be
actively at work for months in the
year. An industry Of this kind means
employment for many and goodly
payroll for this community. This new
firm will be gladly welcomed, and it is
hoped they will meet with abundant
success. Everybody should get behind
the town and work for the success of
industries, talk diversified crops to the
agriculturists and thus get the county
on a firm and thrifty basis.
There is lots of room in town for
other manufacturing industries and
splendid sites. If success can be rea-
sonably assured, other industries will
be attracted. Now is the time to be-
come booster.

INCOME TAX FOR 1924
LESS THAN in 1928
Rate Reduction And Increase In Ex-
emption For Married Persons
OF Immediate Interest

Your income tax for the year 1924
is less, in proportion to your income,
than was the tax for 1923. A rate re-
duction, however, is not the only bene-
fit afforded by the revenue act of 1924.
Increase in the exemption for mar
ried persons, a rs per cent reduction
on learned income," and other chang
es in revenue legislation are of imme
diate interest to every taxpayer.
The revenue act of 1924 requires
that returns be filed by every single
person whose net income for 1924 was
81 900 or more, or whose gross income
was $4,000 or more, and by every mar
ried couple whose aggregate net in
come was $4,000 or more, or whose
aggregate gross income was $4,000 or
more. Last year returns were re-
quired of married couples whose ag
gregate net income was $4,000 or
more Husband and wife, living to-
gether, may include the income of
each in single joint return, or each
may file a separate return showing
the income of each. Net income is
gross income less certain specified re-
ductions for business expenses, losses,
bad debts, contributions, etc.
The period for filing returns is from
January l to March Is, 1925. The
return, accompanied by at least one
fourth Of the amount of tax due,
must be filed with the collector of in
ternal revenue for the district in which
the taxpayer has his legal residence
or has his principal place of business.
