HEADLINES WRITE PLATFORM

Democrats scofl at such argu- ments and merely continue to let newspaper headlines write that part of the platform" Samples:
 Retail sales for the last week of May moved 10 to 16 per cent ahead of the same week a year ago.
 Automobile output was estimated at lS0,82l units compared with 65,- 675 in the corresponding week of 1935.
 Net operating income of repre- sentative group of large railroads for April was 168 per cent above April a year ago.
 A bit of trade news that should be particularly pleasing to builders of the Democratic platform is a summary showing the demand brisk beyond seasonal expectations for summer home furnishings. These include porch and garden equip ment, fancy window shades and fi- Der rugs. That sort of spending rep resents pleasure money.

STRINGENT ACTION

PARIS, June 18.-The French Cab inet today decreed dissolution of the four Rightist Leagues in an effort to break up combat groups of pri- vate militias. The dissolution order is directed especially against the Croix de Fue or Fiery Cross.
 Immediately following the dissolu- tion order, one of the leaders of the Rightists announced that this might drive the leagues under cover where they will become a real men, ace.

MAXIM GORKY, SOVIET WRITER,
 DIES, MOSCOW
Who Hated America, Passes Away
 as Result of Flu

LONDON, June 13 = A Reuters correspondent at Moscow reports Maxim Gorky, noted Russian auth or and the Soviets chief propa gandist, is dead as result of flu. He had been ill since early this month. Although the Soviet's lead ing writer, he was not a Com muniSt Party member. Personally he was a revolutionist from his earlier years. His tender years were passed amid such bitterness that he revolted against the social order as it stood in Czarist Russia, and as he grew into manhood he be- came a Socialist
 In fact, the name Maxim Gorky, which he adopted as a pen-name instead of his real one, Alexis Maximovitch Pyeshkov, means The Bitter One"
 Kicked Out
 Born March 28, 1868, at Mimi Novgorod, the son of a poor jour neyman upholsterer, he was left an orphan at the age of five. His grandfather forthwith told him, You can't live off us. Get out into the worldl'
 At an age when most Doys have few greater cares than learning the alphabet, Alexis became a rag picker. Later he was an apprentice to a mechanical draughtsman, an assistant cook on Volga River steamer, a clerk to lawyer, tramp on the steppes, and day laborer.
 Sometime within this succession of varied occupations he learned to read. Thereafter he digeSted every book he could get hold of. This indefatigable reading and his own kaleidoscopic experiences gave him the background for his fu ture books.
 Turns Baker
 At the age of Is he went to the university town of Kazan, imagin- ing that an eagerness to learn and a willingness to study were the sole qualifications one needed to enter the university. He was re- fused admittance, and got a job in a bakery.
 The unbroken misfortune that assailed the young enthusiast so preyed upon his mind that he at tempted suicide in 1888 by shooting himself. The bullet remained in his body and troubled him in later years.
 Writes Play
 About this time he came under the influence of the great Rus sian writers, Chekhov and Tolstoy. Chekhov advised him to write plays. From this encouragement came sev-

TOWN COUNCIL
PROVIDES LOT
OF Sen. VEASEY
Lot Corner Clarke Avenue And
Vine Street Selected For
Municipal Building

The Mayor and City Council have
purchased from Senator M. L. Veasey,
the lot, corner Clarke Avenue and
Vine Street, as location for the pro-
posed Municipal Building, the pur-
chase dependent upon the securing Of
Federal funds to meet the price. The
amount agreed upon as $7500.00.
This price, it is well to note, is the
lowest offered by the owners of any
other location considered and as such
appealed to the city authorities. In
it's favor, also is a central situation,
making it's access convenient to all
interests that may be concerned.
1t now remains for the planning
committee, of which Senator Veasey
is chairman, to use all the promptness
and vigor of which they are capable
toward securing part of that public
money which will be appropriated for
such purposes as is planned for Po-
comoke, and which money will be
eagerly sought by many other COM
munities.
Another building Pocomoke seems to
be in fair way to secure is new
post office. Communications from
Washington to the Democrat state
positively that Pocomoke is on the
list for investigation for a new Of
flee, and prospects are bright for the
improvement. At the same time the
Planning Committee is pushing the
Municipal Building, it would be well for
them to keep the Post Office in view.
Pocomoke needs both, and they would
contribute to beauty and usefulness
Of the city.

E. W. McMASTER REACHES
EIGHTY SIXTH MILESTONE

Congratulations are due one Of Po-
comoke's oldest and most highly es-
teemed citizens, Mr.. Edgar w. Nc
Master, president of the Pocomoke
City National Bank.
On Wednesday Of this week, Mr..
McMaster reached the age of &c years.
While suffering somewhat with d
rheumatic ailment which makes walk
ing somewhat difficult and painful ;
otherwise, he is enjoying life in
measure for which he should be very
thankful, when his advanced age is
taken into consideration.
Mr.. McMaster is a native of Wor-
cester, and one of whom the county
should be proud. He has served the
people in various capacities: legisla-
tor, sheriff, school superintendent, and
now is at the head of one Of their
financial institutions. In his long
career, there has never been the slight
est hint of anything to mar a con-
sistently upright dealing with all Of
his fellowmen. He enjoys the con-
fidence of all who know him, and all
are hoping he may experience many
more anniversaries.

TAG DAY ANNOUNCEMENT
FOR PUBLIC LIBRARY

In celebration of the seventh ami
versary of the Pocomoke Public Lii
brary, Mayor E. Wilfred Ross has is
sued a proclamation proclaiming Sat-
urday, June 18th "Tag Day" in POGO
moke.
Within the past three years the Di-
1ectors of the Library have made it
possible for boys and girls of Elemen-
tary, Grammar and High School ages
to procure books free. The proceeds
from the drive this year will be used
toward this end.
The Library is great asset to the
community but if it can be kept free
to boys and girls of the school it will
render an even greater service to the
community and the success of this
drive will make this possible.
The Library is asking minimum
of SC per person but larger contribu-
tions will be gratefully received and
will go far toward keeping the insti-
tuition on a solid foundation.

End PAYMENT
WHEAT CHECK
in SOMERSET
Sioners OF The New Wheat Con
tracts Will Receive Bene-
fit Payment
FARMERS URGED TO
CONTACT COUNTY AGENT

During the past week Somerset
County Agent, C. 2. Keller, received
the second payment wheat checks on
the 1885 crop and part of the second
payment on the 1885 corn-hog con-
tracts. Over $1,000 is being distrib-
uted among several hundred farmers
who had contracts under the agricul-
tural adjustment administration.
The three years wheat contracts
and the two years corn-hog contracts
will return the farmers in this coun-
ty over $4,000 when the payments
have been completed under the terms
of the contracts.
The signers of the new wheat con-
tracts will receive benefit payment
for the wheat crop this year, the acre
age is now being checked for COM
pliance.
At this time nearly 300 farmers
have filed work sheets under the soil
conservation program, and it is ex-
pected that the benefit payments for
the diversion of acreage from the soil
depicting crops to soil conserving
crops will amount to considerable
larger amount than the payments un-
der the old AAA program.
1t is expected that the final date
set for accepting work sheets will be
advanced several weeks until possibly
the 1st of July, in2 order that every
farmer will have the opportunity to
list his work sheet before the closing
date.
The drought has caused change
in rulings and it will now be permit
ted to cut the soil conserving acreage
for hay if necessary provided the
land is seeded to a winter cover crop
as rye or wheat and turned under next
spring.
One half the acreage Of rye, or scar
let clover turned under this spring can
be counted as soil conserving acreage
and the Class I payment of $1,000 an
acre, provided it was seeded following
a truck crop last year.
One half the acreage Of clover seed
ed in wheat this spring can also be
counted as soil conserving acreage and
Class I payment.
Farmers are urged to keep in close
touch with the County Agents office
for the new regulations which may be
issued during the season.
