Upon
Christmas Day
BY WILLIAM LuFr, in The Christian


A STAR peeped forth upon Christ
n mas Eve.
And told OF that other Star:
Whose beams shine bright, through
the worlds dark night,
And scatter the shadows far.
A snowdrop bloomed upon Christmas
Day,
And told of that spotless flower:
Whose perfume pure. should all frosts
endure,
And brighten Earthss wintry hour.
Tho bells rang out upon Christmas
And their message came a call
To worship the Son of the Highest
who came with good will to all.
The holly berries on Christmas Day,
Blushed red In their f03eless greeni
For their coral red, showed the blood
drops shed.
between.
A feast was spread upon Christmas
Day,
And mirrored the feast He spread.
Who was born that He might our
Banquet be,
The True and the Living Bread.
A son came homo upon Christmas Day,
A son from n far of land:
And he told once more, of Gods open
door,
Tho kiss and the welcoming Hand.
A babe was born upon Christmas Day,
And the speechless infant told.
OF the manager Child. that In beauty
smiled,
On that Hrst glad day Of old.

A gang of Scientists left on a

study queer kind of Fish in

They should have stayed here
in New York and went to see

queerlooking Fish there, Suck

and every Guy that got up

denounced everything in
America, The Weather, The
Constitution, White Gloves
for Pail Bearers, Nah Jongg,
Lower Taxes, SUSPEND ers,
Gross Word Puzzles, Shower

and Ice Cream Pies. After
looking them all over | found
what was the matter with

price declined in the market twenty
per cent. This meant that the total
crop of the larger estimate was worth
less in the market by three hundred
million dollars than the crop by the
lesser estimate.

FORMER ILLINOIS GOVERNOR, NOW
FARMER, DISCUSSES FAkm PROBLEM
THE CURE

Here is Governor L0wden's
cure for the existing ills Of agri-
culture:
Farmers cooperative market
ing associations - there is no
other way out. can fOresee the
day, / think, when everything
produced upon the farm win be
marketed by the farmers them
selves through an organization Of
their own creation. / like to
think of the time when the rep
resentatives of all thess great
farmers organizations shall meet
in a congress once a year and
shall there work out a program
for the future, just as other in-
dustries now meet annually for
the purpose of forming AN intelli-
gent and cooperative program
for the year.
'tAt such a meeting, if it shall
appear that one branch of agri-
culture is expanding more rapid
Iy than conditions warrant, steps
will be taken to restore the bal
ance as between that and the
other activities of the farm.
"In this way we shall achieve
a balanced agriculture. Even
more desirable, however, we shall
restore the proper balance be-
tween agriCulture-the greatest
of an industries-and other busi-
ness activities in this organized
world in which we find ourselves.
There can be no enduring pros
Perity unless all the rincApag
industries which go to make up
the commercial world, keeping
step with one another, shall
march abreast"

Mp. IS TRYING
OUTNEW engines

The N. P. has been trying out
recently a new type of mammoth
freight engine. It is a monster and
weights nearly a million pounds. It
is equipped with sixteen drivers
which are arranged in sections of four
drivers each. Four cylinders supply
the prOpelling power. The whole ma
chine is about as long as two ordi-
nary box cars, and the tender alone
is as long as the locomotive that
runs down to Sidney and back.
This engine is No. 45O3 and is a
type designed for mountain divisions.
1t will haul about hundred cars OF
double as many as the ordinary
freight train. The smoke stack
scarcely. shows above the huge boiler
the. bell is hung over the front and
the head light is mounted on a specia

Ounce Ashburn made application
to the City Council on Monday even
ing last, for a permit to erect ga
rage on the corner of Front and Vine
streets, on the lot adjoining the resi-
dence of w. F. Brattan-the same be-
ing formerly the site. of Samuel j.
Schoolfield's home.
The Council took the matter under
consideration and later granted Mr..
Ashburn's request. 1t is understood
that the garage is for out-of-town
people and will be constructed Of con-
crete blocks and cover the whole width
of the lot and to depth of about 60
feet, to a point where the rear line
comedies with that of Mr.. Brattan's
rear boundary.
Opposition to the erection of this
building arose on the part of Mr..
Brattan and other residents of Front
street, and a petition was presented
to the Council, praying them not to
grant the permit asked. This oppo-
sition was based upon the fact that
the buildings erected on Front street
since the Fire were residential in
character, and a garage in their midst
would interfere with the comfort,
quiet, and happiness of the families
residing in that section.
The objectors had engaged John w.
Station, Esq, of Snow Hill to submit
their side of the case to the Council,

John T. NJ. Sturgis Killed
Tuesday By Auto Truck
Machine Driven BY Solomon Small Strikes Aged Towns
man While Crossing Clarke Avenue-Death Instan-
taneous-Coroners Jury Exonerates Driver

John T. NJ. Sturgis, one of the old
est citizens of Pocomoke City, was
struck and practically instantly killed
by an automobile, driven by Solomon
J. Small.
The accident occurred on Monday
last on Clarke avenue between Oak
and Laurel streets where operations
are in progress in connection with a
broken water main.
Mr.. Sturgis' eyesight was very much
impaired. This, coupled with narrow
escapes in former years, had made
him as watchful as he could be in
his enteebled condition. Prior to the
moment when the accident occurred,
Officer Stroud had rendered him some
assistance in his walk, and it was a
shock to the policeman when he saw
Mr.. Sturgis step from the curbing
directly in the path of the slowly
moving loaded truck. Death was al
i:?ost instantaneous.
The driver of the machine, Solomon
j Small, Immediately stopped his
truck and gave what assistance he
could to the stricken man, but Mr..
Sturgis was beyond human aid.
Owing to the fact that Mrs. Sturgis
was away from home at the time of
the accident, the body of the deceased,
life being declared extinct by DR.. A.
A. Parker, was taken to the undertake
ing establishment of Stevenson &
Bro, to be prepared for burial.
On Tuesday evening a jury of in
quest was summoned by CoronerE. S.
Hargis to investigate the circum-
stances of the accident. The jury was
composed of the following: Ounce

FOSTER H. HILLIARD
DIES in MEMPHIS
Son Of Former Episcopal Rector
Well Known In Pocomoke
49, And Vicinity.

The Living Church, an Episcopal
church organ, published in Milwaukee,
in the latest issue, contains the fol-
lowing:
Hilliard-Died at his home in Mem
phis, Tenn, in his 56th year, Foster
Haven Hilliard, c. E., oldest surviv-
ing son of the late Rev. Francis VIM.
and Maria Nash (Johnstone) Hilliard
He was for many years Chief Engi-
neer directing the U. S. Dredge Fleet
under the Mississippi River Commits
sion, sometime vestryman of st. Luke's
Parish, and an active member of st.
Andrews Brotherhood.
This notice will be read with en-
treme regret by those Pocomoke peo-
pie who recall Mr.. and Mrs. Hilliard
and their interesting family, when
Mr.. Hiliard, the father of the subject
OF the notice, served as rector, for
many years, the Episcopal Church in
this city.
Beth Rev. and Mrs. Hilliard have
passed away, and the family is widely
scattered, but all have proved them
selves worthy of their early training
and are highly respected wherever
they live.

HACERSTOWN NOSES
OUT CAMBRIDGE
Eastern Shore League Champions
Lose First Game Of Five-State
Series By Score Of To4

The first battle of the Five-State
series was fought on Thursday in
Hagerstown and resulted in victory
for the Blue Ridgrs by Il score of Z
to !. Glass did the twirling for the
Shoremen, and Zubris, for the others.
The contest was close, with Cam
bridge leading by a count of 4 to 1
when Hagerstown came in for her
bat in the second half of the seventh
inning. The Westerners got busy
then and made it 4 all. Cambridge
drew goose egg in her half of the
eighth, but Hagerstown put the game
on ice by registering three runs. Cam
bridge could not score in the first half
of the ninth, so first blood went to the
champs on the other side.
Of course, nothing is known OF the
Hagerstown's strength in comparison
with the teams of the Shore League,
and not much can be gained from this
first victory. The Cambridge team
probably has not, as yet, overcome
the wear and tear of the journey, and
the fans over on this side the Bay are
looking for victories after the initial
contest. 1t had been well if the play
ers had refYained from social ameni-
ties until after the series.
Many fans went from this side to
see the games, notably among them
being, Ex-Governor f. C. Harrington,
a ball player in his college days, and
a fan no doubt till the end of his days.
A game took place yesterday, and
one will be pulled off today.

Officer w. A. Stroud and Upshur P.
Stevenson, the only two eye-witnesses
of the occurrence, testified that Mr..
Small was in no way to blame; and,
after a short conference, the jury
brought in verdict in accordance
with the testimony and exonerated
Mr.. Small from all blame in the
matter.
Funeral services were held yester-

Mr.. Sturgis wa sin the 74th year of
his age, and leaves sa sole survivor,
a widow, who before her marriage
was Miss Sarah Melvin, sister of John
S Melvin, this city, and of the late
Benjamin Thomas Melvin.
The victim of this distressing acci-
dent seemed fated to a tragic end.
Some years ago, he was struck by a
locomotive and received serious scalp
and body wounds. Later, he was run
down by an automobile and escaped
fatal injury by narrow margin.
Mr. Sturgis was in the 10th year of
his age and is survived by widow,
who before her marriage was Miss
Sarah Melvin, sister of John s. Mel
vim, and of the late BENZ. Thomas
Melvin. He is also survived by two
neices.
Mr.. Sturgis will be missed from
the community. He was of the oldest
generation, and it is always matter
of regret when these old timers pass
to their long homes. He had by in
dustry and frugality accumulated
quite a respectable estate, and his
death is sincerely mourned by many
of Pocomoke's townspeople.

Warm Weather Interferes
With Fall Openings Here

The warm weather of this week has
interfered materially with the open
ings advertised by the Department
stores. People were 10th to undergo
the actual torture to try on fur coats
and cloth dresses. The temperature
was not conducive to that personal
appearance which would show off the
many shades and patterns in dresses,
the shapes and colors in head wear,
or the latest things in shoes.
There was, however, a very credit
able attendance at the various en-
poriums, and when the colder weather
sets in, buyers will come in larger
numbers.
