BIG AUDIENCES
ATTEND The
MIXED PICKLES
Over One Hundred Take Part In
The Rendition Of The
Musical Comedy
PROCEEDS FOR AIDING
CHILDREN'S EYESIGHT

A near-capacity house greeted the
performance of MIXED Pickles., a
musical comedy, sponsored by the Po-
comoke Lions Club, and staged by the
Wheeler Producing Cimpany, of Will
mington, Delaware.
There were in the neighborhood of
one hundred in the cast, including all
ages, and the wonder is how such re-
suits can be obtained from such raw
material as the producers are con-
fronted with. But in very short
space of time, order is drawn from
chaos and rank amateurs are polished
into real professionalism.
The Wheelers are no strangers here.
For several years, consecutively, they
appeared here with most creditable
performances, but it has been five or
six years since the visit prior to the
present. The success of "Mixed Pick
els," shows they have lost none OF
their training ability, and it is easy
to understand why the Wheeler Pro-
ducing Company has expanded to
large proportions, with offices now in
San Francisco and Chicago.
The principal characters in the
comedy were all well taken by local
talent, and the supporting songs and
dances, giving pleasing variety to
the program, were skillfully executed.
The smallest tots We'd with the older
performers in point of excellency and
the entire presentation was a credit
to both promoters and other partici-
pants.
The proceeds of the show are to be
applied to a most worthy cause.-The
examination of the eyes of those chill
dren whose parents are financially I'M
able to have professionally expert
treatment. The large audiences show
ed their approval of the purpose and
co-operated by turning out in force.
The Lions are to be commended for
this instance of community work,
and is an evidence of the sort of con-
tribution made by such service organi-
izations. Eye trouble has hamper
ed many an adolescent and if this
can be obviated to any extent, it is
indeed a loves labor.

MEETING HELD
AT WHISPERING
PINES JUNE 10
Object To Discuss The Market
ing Agreement For South
eastern Potatoes
MANY ORGANIZATIONS
REPRESENTED THERE

A meeting was child at the "Whis-
pering Pines" on Monday, June 10th,
1885, of the dealers and shipping agen
cies on the Eastern Shore for the pur-
pose of discussing the Marketing
Agreement for Southeastern Potatoes,
as amended, and to discuss generally
the problem Of truck shipments and
some plan for stabilizing the price
of Eastern Shore potatoes during the
present season.
The following organizations were
represented: Seaboard Produce Dis
tributors, Inc; M. ]. Duer & Co.; Hus-
ton, Culver & Company; w. w. Dixon
& Bro; American Fruit Growers;
Lewis and Middleton; Severn Dough-
ty; Farmers Produce Company; E.
P. Matthew'S; H. C. Mears; Trader &
Hancock; G. D. Horner; and Quality
Products.
The meeting was also attended by
Mr.. Kris P. Bemis and Mr.. George
E. Engels, of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration.
A splendid spirit of cooperation
was manifested by all present. The
meeting went on record as favoring
the Marketing Agreement, as amend
ed. as presenting the best possible
solution of the truck problem and as
affording the best means of stabilizing
the price of potatoes for the coming
season. All organizations present
signified their willingness to execute
the Agreement, and it was executed
by most of them while the meeting
was in progress.
This years Agreement contains an
amendment providing for price post
ing, which in substance means that the
selling organizations, if required by
the PROBATION Committee, must post
the price at which they will sell, and
before they can lower this price, they
must give a certain number of hours
notice-the number of hours not to
exceed twelve. The PROBATION Com
mittee likewise determines the num-
Der of hours notice that will be re-
quired.
A similar meeting was held at
Painter, Virginia, on Friday, May 31st
1885, and at that meeting M. j. Duer
& Co., Inc, and the Seaboard Pro
duce Distributors, Inc, executed the
Agreement, and representatives of the
American Fruit Growers and Huston,
Culver & Company, respectively,
stated the willingness of their organi-
cations to sign, and that they would
sign as soon as they could forward the
Agreement to them.
The Agreement requires 81 per
cent of last years tonnage of those
who signed the Agreement last year
to become effective. Mr.. George E.
Engels. of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration, advised that the
would be officially return
ed to the Agricultural Adjustment Ad-
minis tration in the next few days, and
that he Department would then de-
term .e whether or not a sufficient
tonnage had been signed up to place
the Agreement into effect. Should
the Agreement become effective, it
will bind all shippers on the Eastern
Shore District, whether or not they
have signed the same.

Well, Sir, maybe some of you peo-
pie read about that "cullud pusson,"
femininely inclined, who walked over
board into the black and coolish wat
ers of the Pocomoke River. There's
something funny about that dame.
Just why she didn't drown, is an in
triguing question; and l believe she
would have, if she had known where
she was at. From all reports she
had been bolstering her spirits with
"sperits" of another kind, and water
way was no more to her than a con-
crete highway. Something was boil
STEERING her up, and instead of sink
ing, she set about trying to walk out
of that mess, and she came near doing
it. All Collie Miller had to do, when
he dived after her, was to take hold
of her arm and show her the most
convenient landing place.
Now, l don't know whether that's
an argument for or against liquor.
You see, the liquor made her walk
overheard, according to all accounts;
and after she found herself in her I'M
natural element, it was the liquor
which probably saved her life. You
see, she didn't know enough to strug-
gle. Maybe her skirts formed a bal
loon and buoyed her until help came.
Anyhow, she was just about as happy
in the water as out of it and I've
heard John Barleycorn referred to as
ooh! be joyful" Now, some of you
poor souls, suffering from depres-
sion and deciding that it is worse to
"bear the ills we have than fly to
others we know not Of" had better
not partake too freely of bug juice
in order to supply the necessary nerve;
because it might induce you to walk
right on top of the water to defeat
the purpose Of your morbid feeling.
We lost a splendid opportunity to an
alyze this woman's feeling. 1t would
have been interesting from a psy-
Geological standpoint. But they bus
ed her home, and all was lost.

morning and left to set in the icebox
during the day.
Then there are apples with mince
meat stufing-for two apples use
one-quarter of a cup of moist mince
meat. Wash and core the apples, and
peel around the tops. Place in
shallow baking pan with a little
water, to which the juice of one
lemon has been added. Fill core
cavities with the mince meat, and
bake very slowly in low oven until
the apples are tender. Serve as des-
Sert with cream, or use as an edible
garnSh with roast pork. These
apples could be cooked when you
have plenty Of time, and then re-
heated just before serving.
EOR the rest Of the Thanksgiving
feast that falls within the scope
Of the amateur cook, or kitchenette
houSekeeper-there are the wonderful
turkeys and hams that may be bought
reasonably already cooked and need
only be run in the oven for a few
moments to prepare them for the
table. Either. of course, may be
eaten cold, and for a buffet supper
in small apartment, where cooking
space is limited, can think Of no
better answer to the hostess problem
than one of those delectable meats
daintily sliced as the piece de
resistance.
Canned SoupS-either tangy green
turtle or rich cream of mushroom,
with an extra dash of whipped cream
on top-are splendid starters for the
gala occasion. Tiny peas, diced car
rotS, ruby-red beets all may come out
of cans with no one ever knowing. If
they are well drained, plentifully but
tered, seasoned, and heated for few
moments, with a little lemon juice
sprinkled over them. Many shops
provide luscious dressing with the
cooked turkeys they sell, so that no
additional potato or bread mixtures
are necessary.
Green salad, tossed in a wooden
bowl with French dressing, or slim
segments of avocado are easy for even
the most hurried cook to manage, and
the grocery shops have an almost
bewildering array of savory biscuit TO
accompany this course.

and mixing at the kitchen table. Rows
of juicy pies were tucked away on
pantry shelves, awaiting the great
feast. while childish noses shifted and
mouths watered in anticipation.
Nowadays, however, there are many,
many short cuts to perfect mince pies.
You may buy mince meat in the con-
denSed form that comes neatly packed
in tiny cartons, all ready to be thinned
with water and used. This has all the
regular and necessary ingredients
raiSins, currantS. spices, Suet, beef and
so on.
Then there are glass jars Of mince
meat that has the same blend OF good
things, but also has just dash OF
brandy or sherry seasoning to make
it little more highly favored. This
product is designated as moist" mince
meat. and needs no added preparation
before placing it in the pie shell.
THE kitchenette housekeeper finds
many uses for mince meat other
than the generally accepted pastry
(by the way. have you tried topping
slices OF mince pie withu macaroon
ice cream? The flavors complement
each other to perfection) and as both
the condensed and moist varieties will
keep for some time, they may be used
economically in small amounts.

the neck, the cold is shut out by a
lap of the coat material which buttons

A coat at a much lower figure is
also attractive in black with its

graduated tuckS that swing around
into a close fitting cuff. Furthermore
the sleeves are cut in one with the
