FIRE DESTROYS BUILDINGS

The buildings destroyed were J. P.

located the Post Office, the Bennett

King Ryan and owned by Gerald Will

At least two Pocomoke trucks at

Cleaning and Pressing house; the
other, from J. T. Smullin Jr.'s furni-
ture place.
Damage to the draw bridge-the
last one before landing on Chincotea-

mors reaching Pocomoke, however,

happen.
Ice has piled up considerably under
the bridge and, under pressure of high
winds, might do considerable damage.
Work Of repairs is under way and
traffic, it is thought, will shortly be
resumed.

CONTRACT SICNERS
RECEIVE SECOND
CORN-HOC PAY
One Hundred And Ten Contract
Signers In Somerset Re-
ceive $4,000

During the past week, 10 Somerset
county corn-hog contract signers rec
eived their second payment on their
1884 contracts, which amounted to
$4,000. The second payment represent
ed about Is cents bushel on corn,
and $1.0O a head on hogs. A third
payment of $500 head on hogs is
expected early in March.
The total benefit corn-hog payments
last year amounted to over $4,000.
When the contract signers come to
the office of the County Agent to re-
ceive their checks they are also given
an opportunity to sign new contracts
for this year.
Practically all the growers are sign
ing the new contracts. There are
some changes in the regulations this
year. The corn acreage can be re-
duced from 10 per cent to 80 per cent
of the base acreage established during
the years 1882 to 1888. The corn
payment will be increased from 80
cents to IS cents a bushel.
The hog production for market will
be reduced to 10 per cent instead of
the 25 per cent required last year. The
base production for market is the aver
age of the hogs produced during 1882
1888.
Farmers who did not sign up in
1884, will have an opportunity to sign
contracts, for this year and will be
eligible to receive benefit payments.
Those who are interested in the
program should arrange to
attend the meeting to be held in their
within the next few weeks.
Additional information can be obtain
ed from the County Agent.

UNITED STATES
CIVIL SERVICE
GIVES WARNING
Cautions Public AS To Promises
Certain Schools To Pro-
vide Situations

The United States Civil Service
Commission says that numerous let
tiers received at it's office from diff
ferent parts of the country indicate
that misleading information is being
given to the public by agents of some
of the correspondence schools which
give instruction in preparation for
civil-service examinations.
To guard against the loss of money
paid for tuition Of this kind the Civil
Service Commission informs the pub
lie as follows:
No one can promise appointments to
positions for which the United States
Civil Service Commission holds exam
nations. The claim that such assur-
ance can be given brands the person
making it as fraud.
Information regarding examina-
tons for the United States Civil Ser
vice may be obtained from the boards
of United States Civil Service Exam
iners. There is such board in each
community which has post office of
the first or the second class. In near
ly all cities the civil service board is
located at the post office.
Before paying money for tuition,
or signing a contract, it is advisable
to make inquiry concerning the pros
pect of examinations. There is reas-
on to believe that agents of some
schools deceive the public as to the
probability of early examinations.
No school has advance information
regarding the need for employees or
the probability Of examinations.

AMER. LEGION
SPONSORS BILL
GIVEN CONGRESS
Universal Draft Bill Is Far
Reaching In Its Benefit
To Humanity
FEBRUARY MEETING IN
POCOMOKE CITY ARMORY

One of the measures sponsored by
the American Legion, which is being
presented to Congress this year, is
what is known as the Universal Draft
1t is a measure so far-reaching in its
benefit to humanity as to be almost
overwhelming.
Everyone knows what the Con-
scription Law, or Draft, passed in 1917
after the United States entered the
War was, and how far-reaching were
its consequences. Briefly, it was a
required registration Of every man in
the United States, between certain
ages and who was considered able to
bear arms in defense of his country.
From this list, once registered the
fighting forces were chosen; the men
had nothing whatever to say about
whether they wanted to go or not.
If they were called, they either went
or they went to CONSUMPTION camp,
in other words to Jail. We realized
that such drastic measures were neces-
sary at the time. They were made
more necessary by the fact that if
man could stay at home, he would
be able to make the high wartime
wages then being offered by industry
in general and munition factories in
particular.
The plan of the Legion is this: They
want a Universal Draft-not just a
drafting of fighting forces, but draft
Of Wealth, Resources and Labor and
a freezing" Of prices at the outset
Of the War, so that they may not
soar to such heights that they cause
a panic in coming down to normal.
They propose that there shall be no
rise in munitions; by way of illus
tration: If the munition makers is get
ting Soc an hour at the outset of the
War, he continues to get just that and
not $3.50 as many were paid during
the World War and that if the price
Of sugar is &c, it shall remain at &c
and not go to 25c and 30c as it did
In 1917 and 1918 and that every per-
son connected with the production of
that sugar receive the same wage as
when the War starts. They propose
that there shall be no enormous profits
in munitions, food and supplies stocks
and thereby no War Millionaires and
that when the War is over, every
one will have shared in it along with
the man who fights in defense Of his
country.
The February meeting of Worcester
Unit No. SO will be held in the Armory
at Pocomoke City on Wednesday, Feb
ruary Is, at 7:30 P. M.

a dime from the fingers of a

five moving targets in midair
and many another amazing feat.
In the fairly historical correct
movie, annie Oakley" with
clever Barbara Stanwyck in the
title role, one finds an interest
ing, out-of-the-ordinary film; a
production that certainly would
have hit the top-notch class had
the story been closely, concisely
woven together.
AS it stands now, there is too
little of Annie and far too much
of Buffalo Bill and his Wild
West show. The character of
Toby Walker. nicely played by
Preston Foster, lacks the neces-
sary sort of deep-down romance.
There are many interesting and
odd incidents that from sheer
novelty of first presentation on

AS usual, Barbara Stanwyck
turns in a first-claSS performance.
So does Melvyn Douglas, as Ho-

The recent action of the United
States In authorizing the construc-
ton of the Grand Coulee high dam
to the extent of the present con-
tract, is considered by the Columbia
Basin Commission as the greatest
event in the entire history Of the
Columbia Basin Project. This ac-
ton, according to statement given
out here today by the Commission,
indicates very clearly that the gov
eminent intends to complete the
construction of the Grand Coulee
high dam and to follow this up
with the reclamation of the Column
bia Basin lands.
"The change order signed by
Secretary Ickes on June 6, which
directs the Mason Walsh Atkinson
kler company to spend the amount
OF their contract in the construction
OF the Grand Coulee high dam, is
heartily approved by the Washing
tor State Grange" said Erwin e.

and member of the Columbia Basin
commission. Mr.. King was here

Some people have expressed

funds for the completion Of the

The Federal Government evidently

power development or reclamation
to pay for it. The revenues from
the sale of power and from the
settlers on the land are both nee
essary for the liquidation Of the
project, and will be adequate for
the purpose"
1--WE would not be in any strong
er position today" Mr. O'Sullivan
explained further, ''if the entire
SITS 600, 900 required for the con-
struct!on Of the high dam and
power plant were appropriated, for
the reason that all appropriations
in excess of what is used during the
fiscal year revert to the general
treasury and must be resppropri-
ated."
