Boston, Oct 27 CP - A decrease in net income for September was shown by the Boston and Maine railroad in its report today
 Net of s746.367 compared with s951,433 for the same month in 1925 but last years figures in- cluded receipts for 1O4 miles Of line since transferred by lease to the Canadian Pacific system.

one would think that he was present at an old time revival meeting, to hear those singers attack the num- bers. Among the selections were Swing Low, Sweet Chariot" Where You Coin, Sinner?" Hand Me Down." You've Got to Reap What You Sow and Do You Call That Religion" WHO'D, Miami Beach. tried to push VEAL aside on sev- eral occasions, but the former was thrown for a loss. each and every time. WBAL came through too loud to be bothered by interference from anything.
 The Symphonic Ensemble at WTIC is one of our favorites and we are one of it's staunchest rooters, and al ways have been. Last evening we were detained on the low wave lengths and by the time we reached the Hartford station, all but two of the numbers on the program had been played. We heard selections from 'Hansel and Gretel' and also Country Gardens" composition of Percy Grainger.
 And then we heard dance music from the Palais Royal. The band is a pretty fair one this season and we enjoyed everything but the work of the soloist, who apparently tried to show off considerably. "On the Ri- viera" and Will You Be True" in addition to some German number, were among the selections.
 WNYC, New York, came in fairly well, with the Richmond Versatile orchestra playing T Cant Get Over a Girl Like you, Loving a Boy Like Me" and Deep Henderson"
 Among the also rans were WISE, Atlanta; woe, Davenport; WICK, Detroit; WMCA, New York: VOL, Chicago, and WHN, New York.
 That's all for today, thanks!

WORCESTER TAKES
FOURTH PLACE in
ATHLETIC MEET
Garner Twenty-Six Points In State
Wide Event Held In Baltimore
Last Friday
STOCKTON AND POCOMOKE
ROLL UP MOST POINTS

June 18th is to become memorable
Gay in the lives of the Worcester
county boys. It was on this day that
Worcester captured fourth place in
the State Meet. This, is indeed an
achievement for them and they should
be congratulated by all. About one
third the winning points came from
Pocomoke City.
The local Junior unlimited relay
took first place with flying colors
making it in one minute and seven
teen seconds. This is very good time
for amateur runners. The relay was
composed of Clarence Mason, Clarence
Philips, Eldrid Hill, and Russell Car
ter. For relay to win at a State
Meet is indeed an accomplishment as
Forrest Park High School spends q
great deal on their coaching staff and
the coaches usually stress relays.
Their relay teams receive training
that some colleges do not get. Con-
CALCULATIONS boys.
Another winner from Pocomole
City was skinny" Harris, our shot
put star, who put the shot forty four
feet five inches and took second place
on the above mentioned memorable
day He was beaten out, however, by
John Kenton, of Allegheny county,
who put the shot forty-six feet seven
and one-half inches. Tough luck,
skinny" you'll get that champion
ship next year. sS
The other winners were, Hance
Fooks of Snow Hill second place win
ner in the so yards DASH. James Kel-
ly showed his provinces by whining
the go yard dash and also the stand
ing,, hop-step and jump. Maurice
Kelly won the 80 yard dash by close
margin. Both of these young athletes
are from Stockton. For small town
Stockton is producing some mighty!
fine athletes, especially when it is
taken into consideration that they
have such a small crowd to draw from
and not much room for practice.
The boys from Worcester all report
a good time. They say, "the Public
Athletic League treated us like
Kings" Undoubtedly they earned
their good time. It is to be hoped
they all go again next year. a
The fact that Worcester took fourth
place this year and came home with.
shining medals was not a surprise, be-
cause it has been expected every year.
Who knows where we will be next
year? The boys all say closer still to
the top.

whole proceedings lasted only about
10 minutes. The real meeting was in
the lobby of the Hotel, and at the
luncheon table
Representatives from all over the
State were present, and many were
the confabs held in the Rennert. Those
noticed from Worcester were Judge
VIM. F. Johnson, Marion T. Hargis, of
Snow Hill, and E. J. Clarke, from Po-
comoke City.

PUBLIC LANDING
MUCH IMPROVED
Several New Buildings Erected. :
Local Resort Becoming More
Popular Each Year

Several years ago, all can remem-
Der it, Public Landing was an igolat-
ed place where the Bay was left to
itself. There were only a few bath
ers, and it was National Forester's
that made it known to the public.
Later hotels were built and store,
still later bath houses were added,
and in the last two or three years it
has become quite summer resort.
This year when you go down for the
first time you will hardly recognize
it. There are several cottages built
along the waters edge, a new private
pier, and store where you can buy
supplies without having to haul them
down with you. It has been cleaned
up and beautifed, and the bathing is
still as good as it ever was "a kind of
bathing that only Public Landing can
boast of.
1t is felt on the part of some people
that Public Landing will in the near
future become, one Of the leading To-
cal summer resorts.

THE PHANTOM OF
THE OPERA COMING
Big Motion Picture Spectacle To Be
Shown Here Next Wednesday
And Thursday

The much Wanted thriller de luxe,
"The Phantom of the OPERA" which
Carl Laemmle, the producer, has SO
vociferously pronounced "the greatest
mystery thriller of the age" will play
next Wednesday and Thursday at the
Empire Theatre, and the people of Po-
comoke will at last have an opportuni-
ty to see Lon CLANCY play what is
said to be his latest and greatest role.
1t is claimed that twenty acres were
covered with seventy massive sets for
the gigantic production, which is a
dapted from the French mystery ro-
nance by CASTOR Leroux, sometimes
alluded to as Frances successor to De
Maupsant. The sets are said to in
clude complete reproduction of the
great Paris Opera House, interior, ex-
terror and underground.
The five vast cellars which at one
time served as the stronghold of the
Second Commune of France, and
equipped with many secret escapes,
dungeons and torture chambers for
the Red purposes of the Commune, is
the scene of mystery, thrill and terror
when the strange denizen Of vaults
and shadows known as the Opera
Phantom rules the gay and noble
throng Of the fashionable opera with
unseen, but ruthless power.
Lon CLANCY, who plays the "Phan-
tom," is supported by a cast number
ing thousands, all in the colorful
splendor affected by the wealthy and
noble Of that period with notable ex-
travagance.
Other pictures to be shown during
the week are as follows: Monday-Art
Accord, in "Western Pluck" Tuesday
Usual short subjects and serials.
Friday Pretty LADIES'" with a spec
ial cast. Saturday--Fred Thompson,

Social Affairs Engage
Attention Of Young Folk

William Keim gave dance in hon
or of his friends home from college
on Thursday ewing June II. A great
deal of spirit was shown and all pres
ent had good time for the simple
reason that it was get-to-gether of
long time friends who had not seen
each other for some time. Bill prov
ed to be an excellent host and his
mother a very good chaperon. Every
one tried not to notice the fact that
they probably would not see some of
the people present again.
Miss Bessie Foxwell also gave de-
lightful dance on this, evening also.
This was the last get-to-gether of all
the Seniors\ from P. H. S.-a farewell
dance. Every one had a very good
time, but time for parting had come
and the last hour of the dance was
spent in discussing which member Of
the class would become the President
Of the U. S., and other similar heavy
subjects.

Poconaoke Fair Dates
This Year August 3 To 6

There have been rumors that on ac-
count of the bad condition of the build
ings, fences, ETC., that there would be
no Fair this year, but this is mis-
representation. Those buildings and
fences have been there now for about
25 years and are naturally in bad con-
dition, having had very few repairs
The association has, however, put
carpenters to work on them and are
putting them in the best possible con-
dition. There have been several bad
storms this winter and spring which
have blown the fences down, and some
people have deliberately torn some Of
the buildings down, but in a few days
they will be in good shape.
Catalogs are being printed for the
occasion, carnival has been arrang-
ed for, and the date has been set for
the first week in August, the Sd, 4th.
fifth and sixth. This year should be
one of the big years for a fair, and all
the town people should boost it.
If there has been any doubt in your
mind regarding this question the a.
bove information should expel it.

HURLS SELF TO DEATH
UNDER TRAIN WHEELS
Accomac Man Commits Suicide
Tuesday Afternoon Last Near
Blox0m Station

Alonzo Bloxom, aged 60, of near
Bloxom, Accomac county, Va, met in
slant death, Tuesday afternoon at $40
o'clock, when he hurled himself in
front of Pennsylvania Railroad train

According to the Engineman, Mr..
Bloxom when first seen was walking
along the cinder path which parallels
the track about a hundred yards a.
head of the train and a fraction of a
minute before the train reached him
he threw himself directly across the
rails. The tragedy occurred at mile
post 46 about half way between Mears
and Bloxom, while the train was max
ing about go miles an hour. The train
was Immediately brought to stand
still and the body was identified by
persons living nearby. The train then
proceeded to Bloxom and the coroner
sent back to view the remains.
/. Bloxom's body was mangled almost
beyond recognition but among his eff
fects was found a razor and as he had
been in i'll health and respondent for
several weeks it is generally believed
that he left home with the intention
of committing suicide with the razor
but changed his mind as he was walk
ing down the track. He was farmer
living near Bloxom, and during the
day had made no threats. of self-de-
struction and had not appeared to be
more morose than at any time for the
last few months.
The train which Bloxom used as a
means Of suicide was the through ex-
press from New York which arrives
in Pocomoke City at 2.15 in the after

FIRST COUNTY LEAGUE
BALL GAME TO-DAY
Pocomoke Win Play At Newark. =
Snow Hill TO Play Here
Next Wednesday

Tuesday night the representatives.
of each town playing in the Worces-
ter County League met in Snow Hill.
Each town sent two representatives
to discuss plans etc. There seemed to
be some disagreement as to schedules
and a few other particulars, and the
only result arrived at was: Pocomoke
is to play Newark on the 10th, at
Newark. The following Wednesday
Snow Hill is to play the home team
on the home grounds. No definite
schedule further than this has been
made, but the people will be duly
notified.
1t is reported that some of the other
towns have hired players from the
smaller leagues, or players that have
played in Leagues. Pocomoke is not
doing this, she is playing men from
right here in town, and playing for
the love of the game.
It is the duty Of the town for all
people that possibly can to go to the
game on Saturday, and start the
league off with a bang!
