Graduation exercises Of St Mary's
parochial Catholic school. this town, will
be held or the premises at 4 .. m on
Sunday, 9th instant. This gives the
public an opportunity Of getting ac-
quainted with the excellent work the
Catholic schools are doing all over the
island, in Christiansted and Frederiksted
towns, and at Estate Barren Spot where
the Catholic church maintains a rural
parish, the whole enrolment including a
large percentage Of the children Of school
age thus relieving the municipality of
an enormous expense it would otherwise
have to bear. These schools are con-
Quoted and taught principally by the
nuns, accomplished ladies whose devo-
ton and seIt-sacritice are neither adver-
tised nor enumerated except in 50 far
as the results Of the schools may be seen
in the boys and girls who have passed
through their hands. In these schools
not alone is the regular curriculum fol-
lowed but II struCtion given in art study.
1t may safely be assumed that such
credit as is given for work in the Catho,
lie schools is genuinely merited AMI this
should commend itself to those who want
to feel sure that schools stand not for
what they may pretend to be but for
what they really accomplish. 1t is hoped
that representative citizens will attend
the exercises for which a small admission
fee is charged.

RISING SUN TAKES FIRST GAME

The first game of the post season
series for the championship of the
lSusQuehanna league, between Elk
Mills, winner of the first half Of the
schedule, and Rising Sun, winners OF
the second half, played at Elk Mills
on Saturday afternoon was regular
slaughter, the Elk Mills aggregation
being outclassed in every department
of the game.
Jockett, the pitching ace OF the
Weavers, and two other twirlers,
were used up in the bombardment OF
hits .uncorked by the Sun boys. while
Jeffiries held Elk Mills safe through
out, their only run getting across in
the second inning as the result OF a
base on balls and two base hit.
Rising Sun evened the score in the
third, and in the next inning started
the slaughter, chasing Jockett to the
tall timber and getting six hits, two
of them doubles, and six runs before
the session ended. Adding insult to
injury more runs were piled up in
the seventh and eighth innings and
Elk Mills was completely crushed.
Bland, at third, and WooIman,
in left, starred for Elk Mills, while
Dunbar at second, Gill at third. and
Nolan at first, did great work for
Rising Sun. Mcdaniel, behind the
plate, caught superb game. Gill
led his team at bat with three hits,
one of them for three bases.
A big crowd witnessed the game,
music being furnished by the Fibre
Company Band, of Newark. The
second game OF the series will be at
Rising Sun on Saturday. at 3:15 p.

GALE SPENDS ITS FORCE

The fag end of the southern
storm, which did so much damage
elsewhere, swept over this section
on Wednesday, and ragged all day
and part of the night. The high
wind was accompanied by heavy
rain. Trees we're blown down, and
the ground Uttered with broken lin
lbs and foliage whipped from them.
Apple orchards suffered great deal
by having the fruit stripped from the
trees.
A fallen tree across the tracks
near Octoraro Junction, delayed the
northbound passenger train, due
here at 4:45 p. m, until the wreck
age could be cleared away.
The electric lights in our town
were out of commission for an hour
or more, the town in darkness,
much to the inconvenience of mer-
chants and housewives, and there
was general resort to candles and
discarded lamps. The Northern
Maryland linemen were on the job
Ind finally had the current on again
1t about nine o'clock.
The motion picture being shown
IN the public hall was put completely
out of business, and rain checks
ssued to the patrons. Mr.. Kirk
lad this same experience with the
picture he was showing, Sailors
Wives" some months ago, and it is
.ather an odd coincidence that sec
md attempt to show it should be
prevented by the same cause.
Some of our dahlia growers, OF
whom our town can boast quite a
number, report numerous of their
beautiful specimens ruined by the
.orce Of the storm.
While the storm was a severe one,
most of the damage done in this sec
lion was of minor nature.

with the many outside attractions
such as radio, movies and mnay

period following the recitation per-
cd will be devoted to study on the
ssson assigned. The teacher of the

ne study period. and will also be
the director of study. In the few
days we have used this plan, we
have had splendid results. Teachers
as well as pupils, are very enthusias-
tic about it..
The annual school chicken supper
will be held in the basement of the
Methodist Church on Friday evening,

VIII Discuss Tax and Almshouse

VIII Discuss Tax and Almshouse
Problems At Salisbury
The fall meeting OF the Eastern
Shore County Commissioners Asso-
citation, composed of members of the
boards of nine counties, promises tc
be of interest to taxpayers, because
of efforts to lessen the burden OF
taxation through the adoption of re-
lief plans. I
The meeting is scheduled for Sails
bury on Monday. October 15, when
tentative plans, estimated costs and
other details now being worked out
by architects for the erection OF a
central home for the care OF the
poor of the several counties will be
examined and probably approved.
This has been one of the problems
among the several boards OF commits
sioners for several years, because the
maintenance OF separate almshouses
in each of the counties has become
one of the most expensive features,
the costs rising with each year.
Sentiment throughout the entire
Shore appears to have crystallized
in favor of the establishment OF a
central institution for the poor, pro-
vided the expense can be shown to be
less than the present antiquated and
unsatisfactory method Of handling
the problem.
Another project which will come
up for discussion is the building OF
Stag roads as stems to important
state highways, which can be built
much more economically than the
State-aided road, and which, should
it be adopted by all the counties. will
result in great saving to axpayers.

DIES MONIES, November Iowa
will send to Congress to back up her
favorite native son, Herbert Hoover, a
wholly Republican delegation.
1t will include Gilbert N. Haugen of
Northwood, co-sponsor of the McNary-
Haugen bill, who, despite Republican
adherence to the equalization fee
plan in that measure, supported Her
bert Hoover, and was thought to have
alienated a large part of his farm sup
port. Only a sharp reversal in the
trend as indicated by returns when
three-fifths of the votes had been
counted could prevent the election OF

for reelection to Congress from the

C. OF. OHIO TICKET
IS SEEN VICTORIOUS
LonqWorth Leads List of 8
Representatives With Big
MajoritieS.
Nv the Associated Press.

kSy the ASSOSldbCA AASSS'
COLUMBUS, Ohio, November L.
Herbert Hoover not only swept Ohio
by a majority that may exceed that
ever before given presidential candi-
date, but he apparently has taken into
office with him an entire Republican
State ticket and two United States
Senators.
Eight Republican Representatives
had been elected by apparently safe
majorities. They were Speaker Nicholas
Longworth, in the first Cincinnati dis
trict; Representative Charles Brand,
seventh: Representative Thomas A.
jenkins, tenth; Representative John Q.
Speaks. twelfth; j. E. Baird, thirteenth;
Representative C. Ellis Moore, fifteenth;
Representative Frank Murphy, eight
zenith and Representative John q.
Cooper, nineteenth district.
The Democrats stand a chance OF
losing two of their present six Repre-
sentatives and possibly more. In the
eighth district Brooks Fletcher OF
Marion was trailing Grant Mauser, Jr.,
of Marion, and in the sixteenth dis
trict John McSweeney, Wooster, was
trailing his Republican opponent, c. B.
McLintock.
Francis Seiberling of Akron was
leading A. F. ONeill. Akron, in the
fourteenth district. This district now
is represented by Representative Martin
L. Davey, who was defeated for gov
ernor.
In the eleventh Representative Mel
G. Underwood of New Lexington was
in a close race with former Repre-
sentative Edwin D. Ricketts,, Republic
can, of Logan.
Two districts, the fourth and sixth,
now represented by Republicans, also
were apparently in doubt. In the
fourth, former Representative John l..
Gable of Lima was leading Judge VIII
liam Klinger, Lima, while in the sixth,
George D. Nye of Waverly was leading
Representative Charles c. Kearns Of
Clermont County.
Representative Roy G. Fitzgerald OF
Dayton apparently won over Frank l..
Humphrey. No report had been re-
ceived from the second, twentieth and
twenty-first districts, and only one
precinct had reported in the twenty
second district. In other districts Re-
publican candidates were leading.

DEMOCRATS HARD
HIT IN KENTUCKY
Party Yields Six Seats in
House of Representa-
tiveS.
BY the Associated Press.


LOUISVILLE, KY, November T.
Crushed by a stampede of Republican
votes, the Democratic party in Ken
lucky suffered its greatest defeat at the
polls in the general election yesterday,
and yielded six seats in the House of
Representatives.
Early today, with only 800 boxes
the State had yet to tabulate, it ap-
peared certain that the party which has
been predominant factor in the polit-
ical life of the Commonwealth since
the Civil War had suffered complete
loss.
In the presidential race, voters of the
Blue Grass State had given Herbert
Hoover f1attering vote of 514,153
while Gov. Smith received but 354,537.
The Hoover majority was the greatest
any Republican candidate for President
has ever received in Kentucky.
Until the election Kentucky Demo-
Gratis were decidedly in the majority
in Congress, with eight Representatives
in the Lower House, but when the new
Congress is organized, the opposing
party probably will be in an even bet
ter position, mastering nine of the
States eleven Representatives to the
party's rolls, where the Democrats now
command only eight.
In addition to the reelection of Rep
resentatives Thatcher, Robson and
Mrs. Langley, the Republicans will have
