succeed except upon the basis of the
work the membership performs in its
behalf. It is my conviction, as I be-

vate business, can cope with the
problems related to community devel-
opment. Let us then make this meet

War late in May and early in June of
1918.
The scenery to be used in this no.
table pyrotechnic exhibition will COW
er an area of several acres Of ground.
The view is to be marvelously correct
and historically accurate and the
whole effect under the glare of power
full calciums will be most beautiful.
The swollen flowing River Marne
will be seen in the foreground. There
will be startling and realistic hand to
hand and bayonet combats by speci-
ally trained units of, experienced
United States military officers. The
destruction of the bridges-wiping Out
of the trenches by the enemy. It will
all be as true to life as the ingenuity
of skilled pyrotechnists, electrician

tary men can make it. Immediately
following the awe-inspiring climax
of the spectacle the picture becomes
dark and then follows gorgeous ex.
hibition of the famous Thearle-Duf'

REV. KINCMAN A. HANDY
COMPLIMENTS GRADUATES
Former Pocomoke Resident Speaks
Highly Of 1926 Class Of POGO
moke High School.

Rev. Kingman A. Handy, former
Pocomoke City boy, and now pastor
of a prominent Baptist Church in
Baltimore, writes as follows to the
Democrat:
Baltimore, Md,
902 University Parkway
June 2, 1926
My dear Mr.. Clarke:
May / congratulate your paper on
the picture of the graduating class OF
the Pocomoke High School appearing
in your last weeks issue on the front
page. Of course, also, wish to offer
sincere compliments to the school and
to Pocomoke for the material of your
photograph.
Never have l seen, think, a finer
looking group of young men and
women. Intelligence and culture with
the marks of successful traiing dis
tinguished the class. Principal and
teachers should feel amply repaid fol
time. and energy spent in the develop
ment of the material sent by the par
ents to be educated.
Of course was not at all surprised
for I know Pocomoke's contribution to
the mental and spiritual wealth Of oul
country. In the name of the group
would like to challenge any school to
surpass this graduating class Of the
Pocomok High School. Again compli'
menting the parents and teachers,
am, with very happy memories of the
many years spent in Pocomoke,
Very cordially yours,
KINGHMAN A. HANDY.

The city fathers are making some
welcome additions to- the lighting
system Of the town. Increased power
bulbs are being placed where it is
thought they are most needed, and

FOR THOSE WHO PASS BY

The story of how Sam Walter Foss came to write "The House by the Side of the Road' is interesting and contains lit tie lesson in human kindness.
 Foss was tramping in New England Tired, he sought the shade of a tree along the roadside. Nearby was crude sign which read, There is spring here; if you are thirsty, drink" A little farther on was a bench on which was written, '"Sit down and rest if you are tired" A basket of ap- pies was placed near, with the sign, If you like apples, help yourself"
 Who had placed the signs there? Foss sought the owner and found kindly faced old man.
 "Well," the old man said, i've had wa ter a-plenty and I thought it would be a good thing to share it with thirsty travel ers This is pleasant spot to rest so brought down an old bench from the attic We have more apples than we can dispose of, so ma and 1 thought it would be nice to divide with others, so we bring some down every day. It seems to do good so we kept it up."
 No matter how remote is your corner by the side of the road, you can be friend to those who pass your way.

BRIGHTBOY PROBLEMS

We hear a good deal about the necessity for special attention to the dull child, and every aid which may be given these unfor- tunates ought to be given. But a lot of bright boys need some thought and practi- cal assistance, too.
 Education of the masses to a certain common level is to be desired, but unless the boy who shows exceptional talent can be given special opportunities to develop his latent powers, not only he, but the world at large, is the loser.
 Thousands of mediocre boys go through college with little benefit to themselves or to society, while other thousands who have great gifts are denied the privilege, through lack of means.
 That any boy with exceptional talent for creative work, scientific research or leadership should lack the opportunity to make the most of that talent is tragedy. Upon such boys and their proper training depends the progress of the world. The same is true of especially talented girls.
 When our civilization is little farther advanced, means will be provided that our brightest minds shall have every opportun- ity for their highest development. Such means should be provided now.

STICKING TO THE JOB

Were the average youngster inducted into new job and positively assured that he must remain with the same institution for 70 years, he would probably look upon the prospect with horror.
 But Augustus c. Kessinger of Rome, N. Y, has voluntarily stuck to the Sentinel that long, thereby establishing a record that is perhaps unique in the annals of newspaperdom. Eight years as an en- ployee and 62 years as publisher summar- izes his connection with that newspaper.
 During his regime the Sentinel has chronicled the events of the Civil war, the Spanish-American war and the World war, as well as many stirring happenings in be- tween and since It has seen it's home town grow into a thriving manufacturing city and has doubtless contributed more to the development of it's community than any other agency.
 Yet there are probably a good many readers of the Sentinel who feel that they could give MT. Kessinger some valuable ad- vice on how to run newspaper.

KANSAS FARMERS SMILING

From Kansas and the great wheat states of the southwest comes an encourag- ing message. Crop conditions are vastly better than year ago. and price condi- tions are favorable in view of the short American crop of last year. In Kansas the most wheat ever raised was 18O,O00,OO0 bushels, in 1914 With conditions now above the average it is possible that Kansas alone will produce 200,000,000 bushels this year. The forecast is assuring. It begins to look as if, despite bad farm conditions and con- siderable migration to the cities, there still are few dirt farmers left.
