It was inevitable that the beautiful Hupmobile
Eight should make special and powerful appeal
to women.
With its keener sense Of what is fine, the femi-
nine mind responds even more quickly to the
delight Of refined performances, the precision and
the ease Of control, the gentle buoyancy, which
characterizes this great eight-cylinder car.
For man, It b typicaly masculine to be more
strongly conscious Of the sweeping, smooth sweet
surge Of power which conquers time and dis
lance hour after hour and day after day with
clock-ike accuracy and matter-of-facness.
Women, also, appreciate such performance, to
be sure; but they enjoy perhaps even more fully
the fact that the Hupmobile Eight Is 70 ordinary

If your teeth hurt when you

All teeth are soft when they
first come through the gums.
Normally they grow harder
with age, because of a tooth
hardening substance in the
saliva, provided to harden the
teeth and counteract decay.
For some reason, among civ
ilized races, the saliva is often
lacking the necessary concen-

When the saliva lacks this

become sensitive and readily

Wild Sheep

Owls Poll is the great wild sheep Of
Marco Polo, the father and mother
Of all the wild sheep. He represents
the elder branch Of the family Of which
our big-horn is a member, and, weigh
ing 300 pounds, he makes our big-horn
look, in comparison, small animal.
He lives in the barren, treeless Pamirs.
He was originally discovered about
1855 by Marca Polo, hence the name.
For a long time this was considered
a romance, for anyone was willing to
prove that NO such animal could exist.
1t was allotted a place with the uni
corn and the phoenix. At last, some
six hundred years later, Lieut.. John
Wood, an English officer, made his way
into the country, shot sheep and
proved that Marco Millione-at least
in this instance-was speaking the
truth. - Theodore Roosevelt, In

in the community appeared favorable,
with promise of continuing so.
Of the things that were missed in
Pocomoke, and for which it was at one
time celebrated, may be mentioned
evidences of the former extensive
lumber trade, and the shipbuilding
industry which at one time was a con-
siderable factor in business and en-
ployment. Nor were the wharves lin
ed with sailing vessels, and other
craft that were common sights when
the writer lived in Worcester county.
Fine steamers, too, piled between Bal
timore and the towns on the POGO
moke river as far north as Snow Hill
formany years, but it is understood
that these too, have long since disap-
peared, caused doubtless to great
extent by the more modern and rapid
means of travel.
Farming did not appear so popular
nor so profitable in the county as was
the case at one time, at least in the
area of land in cultivation of the old
staple crops. This condition would be
regrettable, if there had not been OBJ
served an expansion of other occupa-
tions and pursuits, more profitable and
in keeping with current trend and
tastes. There was more cultivation
of fruits, vegetables and berries, than
was formerly the case, but fewer
cattle and sheep and other stock were
seen on the farms.
Growth and development of public
spirit in educational and social mat
tiers were observed in Worcester
county, as we'll as the increased inter-
est and participation by the ladies in
these matters, especially in move
ments for promotion of public well
fare.
At some future time, the writer
may present to the readers of your
clean and well edited paper his i'm
pressions of some of your citizens
that have long passed away, as well
as his recollectionsof conditions and
events that were current history so
years ago.

Peoples Column
Editor, Worcester Democrat:

On the occasion of a hurried bust
ness visit to your enterprising and
progressive town not long since,-the
first for several years, a devastating
fire having occurred in the meantime
the writer was impressed with the
changes that met him on every hand
caused in part by the replacement Of
old buildings, and the march Of inn
provement, and partly by time.
Next to the large and well con-
structed business buildings that saw,
I was most impressed by the growth
which Pocomoke City had made as
financial center, it's bank edifices
and facilities in that place being of
such character as would do credit to
much larger towns. In fact, the bank
that I visited compared favorably
with institutions in the large cities,
being well equipped with new trust
department, directors room, ladies'
room, etc., and, so far as I could
Judge, was under managementof pro-
gressive, up-to-date banking men. I
saw, too, for the first time the new
bridge which spans the Pocomoke
from the foot of the principal business
street to the Somerset county side of
the river, and wondered why the
bridge had not been constructed on its
present site at first intead of being
built further up the river at the point
known as Stevens Ferry, where the
old ferry boat conveyed passengers to
and from Newtown as it was then
called.
1t may be difficult for the younger
generation to realize that at one time
all people from the west side Of the
river coming to Newtown by convey
ances had to cross the River in "a COM
paratively small ferry boat, in which
only two or three teams could enter
at a time, and the tiresome waiting in
cident to such passage, particularly on
Saturday, when the people from Som
erset and Nassawaddux came to do
their trading and transact other bust
ness in the town,m ay be imagined.
1 had little opportunity for esti-
mating the amount Of business trans
acted in Pocomoke City altho' so far
as could be judged from what was
seen, the general business conditions
