beloved country, and feeling that ev-
cry loyal American citizen should not
only obey the law himself, but should
bend every effort towards law obser-
vance by others, do hereby pledge
ourselves both collectively and indi-
vidually, first, to observe the spirit and
letter Of the law faithfully ourselves;
and, second, to pledge to our Mayor

active support in their efforts to give
to Pocomoke City a wise, business
like administration, and in their ef-
forts to enforce the laws Of our city,
county, state, and nation; third, to
bring to the attention of the proper
officials any wilful persistent VIOLA
tion of the law, coming to our col
lective or individual notice; and

be within our power, q spirit Of re-
spect for law, and due observance
of same among our fellow citizens.
For the purposes as set forth above,

ment we do hereby resolve ourselves

League, and bend ourselves to be gov
ened by such laws and rules as may
be hereafter adopted.

Make High Records In
A Attendance Percentage

While the Pocomoke City Rotary
Club was piling up percentage of
attendance sufficient to head the list
in the oath District, the Headquarters
Company, Military, was setting the
pace for the others in = the regiment,
and finally came out on top in the
matter of attendance, winning the
regimental flag FOR March.
The 34th Rotary District comprises
Pennsylvania, Maryland, West Vir-
ginia and the District of Columbia,
The Military Company competed with
the others of the 1st Regiment. Its
percentage was SO. Company H, OF
Westminster was second with a mark
Of 76 per cent, and Pocomoke's old
rival, Laurel, Nd, dropped down to
sixth place with a rating Of SO pei
cent.
These two organizations deserve
much credit for their leadership, and
there is no doubt they are attracting
attention from those higher up.

Wilmington; Dela., Morning News
Of Monday last:
"Dr. Henry N. Willis, 60 years old
died on Sunday last at his home, 121;
West Ninth street, following an i'll,
ness of ten days from influenza. DIR
Willis suffered stroke about two
years ago and had almost fully recov-
cred from it when stricken with in.
fuenza.
DR.. Willis was born at Preston
Md, but had been resident of Will
mington for the last II years. He
was a graduate Of the High school at
Preson; the University Of Maryland;
Williamsport College and had also
taken technical courses in several
medical schools in Philadelphia. He
moved to Wilmington from Pocomoke
City, Md, where he first practiced
medicine. His first wife, who was a
Miss Mary E. McMaster, died in Po-
comoke City.
He was an active member of Eu-
reka Council, No. A Jr. o. U. A. NJ,
and had been a member of the degree
team of the lodge. He was also a
member of the Masonic lodge at Pres
ton.
He is survived by his wife, Mrs.

BOYS WEEK DESIGNATED
in POCOMOKE MAY l-S
Mayor Hall Issues Proclamation,
Calling On Citizens To Take
Part In. Program

May 1st to May 9Th will be celebrat-
ed as National Boys Week through
out the Nation. This movement orig
mated in New York and the Empire
State" therefore, has great interest
in carrying out the Weeks program
to focus the public attention upon
boys as one Of the Nations greatest
assets.
Boys Week everywhere has awak-
ened the interest and enthusiasm of
all citizens who have watched the
boys parade on the principal streets
of the cities and who have knowledge
Of the various features proposed for
Boys Week.
The Committee has outlined a pro-
gram which covers every phase of boy
life and I trust that the Local Boys
Week Committees will have the full
support of citizens and Of parents,
and all others interested in the well
fare, not only of the boys of POGO
HlOke NlLy UuL VI CHS SHIlIc NACullty.
Whatever serves to give expression to
the ideals of youth in any walk of life
cannot prove other than an advantage
to the State. It would be difficult, I
believe, to over-estimate the value Of
National Boys Week. The boy will be
steadied in his outlook of life, for the
movement is so planned that it will
develop sense Of reverence for God,
of obedience to authority, of courage
to do the right, and will promote char
acter-buildimg for citizenship.
Our boys are truly one of the Ma
tons greatest assets. Let us see to
it that every boy gets real chance to
become a good citizen of the commu-
nifty and of the Nation.
May I, therefore urge that insofar
as We are able, every citizen take some
definite part or at least think in terms
of boys during the period from May
1st to May 9th. - I'd,
w. E. HALL,
Mayor of Pocomoke City.

''CHARLEY'S AUNT" TO
Be SHOWN NEXT WEEK
Famous Farce Coming To Empire
Theatre. The Home Maker"
Will Also Be Shown

Movie fans of Pocomoke will have
the opportunity next week of seeing
what is hailed as the worlds funniest
motion picture = "Charley's Aunt" "
with sgd Chaplin in the title role.
This famous farce will be shown at
the Empire Theatre Thursday and
Friday, April % and %.
This is a perturbation of the great
farce comedy by Brandon Thomas
which as a play has been running for
thirty-three years and has crossed
three million dollars. It deals with the
humorous and embarrassing situa-
tion which occur when one of the
boys at Oxford impersonates another
fellows "Aunt from Brazil where the
nuts come FROM"
A splendid cast is seen in support
of sgd Chaplin. 1t includes James T..
Page who played in the stage produc-
ton for twelve years, Ethel Shannon,
and others.
The program for the week proper
at the Empire opens on Monday night
with "The Home Maker" starring
Alice Joyce, an old favorite in POGO
nloke, and Give Brook. 1t is pic
turization of Dorothy Canfeld's novel
and is the story of an American fami-
ly who might be your next door neigh
bors and presents vital question, one
that forever challenges our settled
conventions about the home and home
making.
The usual short subjects will be
shown on Tuesday, and on Wednes-
day, Zane Grey's "Code of the West"
will be on the boards.
According to Mr.. Grey, the story
Of "Code of the West" is based entire
~ on facts and actual incidents which
happened in Payson, Arizona, and the
immediate vicinity. The plot revolves
around the romance of cowboy and
Broadway flapper. Comedy, red
blooded action, jazz and typical Zane
Grey thrills sweep through this pro-
duction, reaching the climax in what
is said to be the greatest forest fire
scenes ever filmed.

SPRING BUILDING
BOOM OPENS IN
POCOMOKE CITY
Much Activity Noted Among Car
penters, Painters, And Other
Tradesmen
RUMOR OF NEW THEATRE
IS AGAIN PERSISTENT

There is at present quite lot of
building activity and improvement
and Pocomoke's mechanics are full of
work.
Mrs. Frank Stevenson has begun
residence on Second sreet just beyond
that of j. C. Stevenson, and will have
a. most comfortable home when fin
ished.
Rev. Mr.. Williams has completed
the removal of the dwelling house he
recently bought from the Dye Works,
to the lot on Front ST., obtained from
B. Givarz, and he is now at work do
ing such repairs as will restore it to
it's former living status.
7. billiard Riley is erecting COM
modious building on the rear OF his
lot on Front street, and when COM
'pleted, will be splendidly equipped for
his large and growing plumbing busi-
ness. Mr.. Riley is reserving the front
Of his lot for other structures in the
near future.
Vaughn w. Wilkinson is Pre- pairing
to build hcne on Walnut st: next
to that Of E. Wilfred Ross. This will
be two-story dwelling and from re-
ports should be comfortable home
when completed. Work on same is
expected to start in few days.
The Episcopal Church is about
rounding out its repair program after
the disastrous fire of last November.
The congregation has a much inn
proved church interior. The painting
I of the exterior Will done during the
next month.
c. w. Crockett is erecting garage
on Market street outside the city lim-
it's but in a section that should be TAX
eE in, and the Miles Sectional Build
ing Company is doing the work. These
people put up good house and this
example should be inspected.
John w. Rayield is erecting an
other garage near the Crockett sta
ton, and the public will be well sup
piled with gas, accessories, and SER
vice in that neighborhood.
Rumor has it that the erection Of
new theatre is a possibility near at
hand. The Democrat is not in pos
session of any facts to give TO the
public, but there is persistert talk
that leads to the belief solid Efforts
are back of the project. Just where
it will be put, is also problem not
yet solved, but developments are look
ed for very soon.
r. 1. Lednum is making extensive
changes in his packing plant on the
River front. He has torn away the
entire front and will erect large
warehouse for the handling and stor-
ing of his pack. When completed he
will have an up-to-date factory and
be prepared better than ever to take
charge of his business.
Another addition to the already
handsome buildings erected since the
fire, is the hoped for Armory which
the local military unit has abundantly
earned, and which the company has
every assurance will be backed by the
State Military authorities. The COM
ing legislature will be asked to appro-
pirate the money and with the right
sort of representatives sent to the
General Assembly, the Headquarters
Company should have no trouble in
being provided with suitable home.
