PLANNING FOR NEXT
MEETING JANUARY IA

The regular meeting Of the Parent
Teachers Association was held on Tues
day evening of this week at Pocomoke
High School, Mrs. L. G. Callahan,
president, presiding. This meeting
was opened with salute to the flag,
followed by song led by Mr.. E. W..
Ross, Music Chairman, with Miss
Mary Evelyn Stevenson at the piano
The Flag Code with reference to the
proper display of the Flag was ex-
planned by Mrs. Clinton JONES', who
suggested that any person or organi-
zation desiring a copy Of this Code
could obtain same from American
Legion Auxiliary.
In the course of business, it was
brought out that there were four
rooms at the Elementary School with
out lighting facilities. The Associa-
ton felt that if this condition was not
promptly remedied it may result in
damage to the pupils eyes. Resolu-
ton was unanimously adopted that
the matter be brought to Mr.. Hum
phreys' attention with the view Of
having this condition overcome.
Mr.. VIM. Sartorius of the High
School faculty made report of his, and
some of his scholars, visit to the
hobby display at the fredericksburg
High School from which he had OBJ
tanned some new thoughts and stated
that he hoped at least by the April
meeting Pocomoke High School could
present a creditable display.
Following the matter of business
was the program of entertainment.
The Young Mems Glee Club of Sails
bury State Normal School, with Miss
Black director, was present and need
less to say their program was thor
cughly enjoyed.
Last but not least was the speaker
Of the evening, Mrs. Ida Belle Will
son Thomas, also of Salisbury State
Normal School, whose subject was
"Our Historical Eastern Shore" Her
talk was not only very interesting
but instructive and educational as
well.
The Association is very grateful
to Mrs. Thomas, also Miss Black and
her Glee Club for their assistance
on the program.
This meeting was well attended,
and the Association is already plan
ming an interesting program for the
next meeting, to which the public is
cordially invited, to be held in POGO
moke High School on January IA,
1886, at 8 P. M.

WARREN POTATO
BILL IS EFFECTIVE
ON DECEMBER lST
Passed AS Amendment To The
AAA Making Spuds Basic
Commodity
DATES FOR MEETINGS
ANNOUNCED LATER

The Warren Potato Act became a
law December LIST, on all Potatoes
harvested after December LIST, 1885.
This bill was passed as an amendment
to the Agricultural Adjustment Act,
making potatoes a basic commodity
and providing the State, County and
Growers with sales quotas for the
1886 crop.
The Agricultural Adjustment Admin
istration has, up to the present time,
exempted growers who sell fifty
bushels of potatoes a year or less.
These growers, however, will have to
apply for an allotment so that they
may receive tax exempt stamps.
According to r. T. Grant, County
Agent, applications for growers al
lotments will be taken on or about
January LIST. No forms have been
received as yet for the taking Of these
allotments. He suggests that the
growers get together their potato
UaCd, as 1OiIOWS, 4OT UoCH carly Siiu
late potato crops, this information
will be required when applications
are taken:
Total sales and production in
bushels and acres harvested for the
years 1882, 1888, 1884 and 1886.
In so far as possible growers re-
cords should be furnished as evidence
on purchase of fertilizer, seed pota-
toes, bags, barrels, etc., for the years
mentioned. These records will great
ly assist the County Allotment Com
mittee in making the various allot-
ments.
This is a Federal law, and unless
changed later or modified every pota-
to grower must apply for a sales
quota, in order that he may obtain his
share of tax stamps, otherwise his
shipment will have to bear revenue
stamps, which he will have to buy
at the Post Office, at the rate Of
three-fourths of cent a pound.
Dates on meetings to be held in
connection with the potato law will
be announced later.

AMERICAN LEGION DANCE
in ARMORY DEC. Is

The Christmas Dance, sponsored by
Worcester Post No. SO, American Leg
ion, to be held in the Armory Wednes-
day night, December 25th, will be at
tended by probably the largest crowd
ever assembled on the dance floor.
The management has been fortunate
in securing "The Criterions," one Of
Baltimore's outstanding orchestras,
with AID Lieder, featured on the Will
son line for five years.
The music, coupled with the fine
dance floor, will no doubt prove a
drawing card to many who have never
attended the Legion Dances. The
crowd will be augmented by college
students home for the holidays and
the usual number from town and out
of town.
This is the "Criterions" first visit
to the Shore and those in charge
of arrangements are to be congrat-
ulated for their early booking of this
popular orchestra. Those expecting
to attend are advised to make reser-
vations early.

DENIED, READ
THE VERDICT OF
HIGHEST COURT
Hauptmann Kidnapping Case
Will Not Be Opened By
Supreme Court
FATE NOW IN HANDS
OF NEW JERSEY OFFICIALS

The Supreme Court Of the United
States wrote one little word after
the plea for hearing of the Haupt-
mann case. That word was Denied"
and the case now goes back to the
New Jersey courts.
There are two possible ways by
which the convicted kidnaper may es-
cape death. One is a granting of a
new trial by Justice Trenchard. This
must come about by the submission
of new evidence, sufficiently strong
for the Judge to grant a new trial.
The outcome Of this new trial might
save the life of the prisoner; again,
it might not.
The second avenue Of escape for
Hauptmann is through the Court Of
Paroles, from which tribunal the death
sentence might be committed to life
Imprisonment.
With regard to new trial, it is
possible that one may be allowed.
Much has been made of secret Wis.,
it of the Governor of New Jersey to
the cell of the condemned; and much
has been made of the assertion Of De-
tective Parker that it is his belief
Hauptmann is not the man.
And so the case drags along. A
jury of twelve men declared the man
guilty of kidnapping and murder of
the Lindbergh boy. A higher court
denied any revision of the verdict;
the highest court in the land turned
a deaf ear to plea for another hear
ing. And now it seems ointment
is arising for a new trial, due to
Hauptmann's assertions of innocence,
and fear in many minds that big
mistake may be made.
There are thousands who hold an
opinion that while Hauptmann may
not be the actual perpetrator of the
crime, he, at least, is an accessory
and, therefore, guilty. Those who be-
lieve in the accuracy and strength Of
circumstantial evidence, have no doubt
whatever of his guilt. The possession
of the money; the handwriting of the
ransom notes; the material and work.
manship of the famous ladder; the
identifying of the voice by "Jafsie;"
and many another incident fastens the
crime upon the condemned man. And
the thoroughness of the trial almost
precludes the possibility of an error.
But it looks as if one of the most
famous of all trials is still to be
drawn out. The cost, already, to the
state of New Jersey has been i'm
mense, and it bids fair to be repeated.
The world is following the process of
investigation, and perhaps no case
has ever created so much interest.
