]. PAUL YOUNG IS
AGAIN AT The HOTEL

Mr.. j. Paul Young, who, for many
years conducted hotel in this city,
is back again at his old post in the
Parker House. and ready to serve
the travelling public as of yore.
Mr.. Young, only few weeks ago
retired from the business to be sue
ceeded by Mr.. E. ]. Hickford, who had
had large and varied experience in the
hotel and restaurant business. Mr..
Hickford's sudden death last week,
left the hostelry devoid of manage
ment, and Mr.. Young has again taken
up the reins.
His long acquaintance with the
transient trade, and his popularity
should enable him to continue the
work without any perceptible break.
During the late proprietor's short
career, much was done to improve the
interior of the House, and Mr.. Young
says further changes will be made for
the comfort and convenience of his pa
irons. Friends of the Hotel and of
Mr.. Young are glad to see him return
to his old post.

COMMISSION
RECOMMENDS
GUSHING CAREY
Three Of Four Members Of
Commission Sign Recon-
mendatiOn. One Objects

The Commission appointed by Gov
ernor Nice to investigate the circum-
stances of the expedition sent by
Major E. B. Carey, Chief of State
Police, in blizzard on the ice across
the Chesapeake Bay, to carry food to
supposedly suffering people on Tan
gier Island, has finished its work and
handed in its recommendations to the
Governor, 1t will be recalled that
Sergeant Wilbur V, Hunter, lost his
life on this Inflated trip. Mr.. Hunter
was well known in Pocomoke City.
The recommendation, concurred in
by three of the four commissioners,
carried with it an opportunity for
Major Carey to resign his position.
In event that he saw fit not to do so,
then he was to be ousted from his
place. Alexander Armstrong, former
Acknowledgement, did not Venture any
recommendation, holding that report
on the facts in the case was all that
was required. Any further action
was up to the Executive.
The high points of the findings
were, that there was not a pressing
need of food on the Island, that the
supplies carried were not relief sup
plies; that he was courageous lead
er of the expedition; that it was not
his official duty to deliver supplies in
territory outside the State; that he
displayed poor judgment; and that he
did not give sufficient consideration
to the safety of those under him.

POCOMOKE'S OLDEST
MERCHANT TO RETIRE

William Sartorius has announced by
circulars that, on June l, he will re-
tire from a business which he has con-
Quoted uninterruptedly for SO years.
Mr.. Sartorius' clock, watch, and
jewery business is the oldest in the
city, and Mr.. Sartorius is the city's
Oldest business man. AS stated in
the circulars he has always upheld
principles of strict integrity in dealing
with his patrons, and he retires with
an enviable record.
1t is to be regretted that Mr.. Sar-
torius' physical condition is the main
reasons for his retirement. His
friends and acquaintance are hoping
that the rest he will acquire may con-
tribute to the building up of his health
and strength and that many years of
usefulness may be in store for him.

LADIES AUXILIARY
MAKES FINE SHOWING

The Ladies Auxiliary upheld the
honors for Pocomoke City on Wednes-
day, at the big Firemen's meeting at
Princess Anne. They brought back
a prize of ten dollars, for their part
in the parade.
These women had so in line, with
uniforms of red capes, lined with blue,
and wearing red tams. Jean Dryden
led carrying flag, followed by Mar
garet Anne Dryden, Sara Dryden,
Norma Lee Vane, Phyllis Vincent, and
Louise Henderson, dressed as were
the grown-ups.
In addition to this there was an
elaborate float, drawn by prettily
dressed boys and making a most at
tractive appearance with it's load of
gaily dressed girls. The ladies de-
serve much credit for their represen-
tation, and set good example for the
men.
Pocomoke sent their chemical and
best big truck, but, the fact that there
were only 16 men in line, made them
Ineligible for prizes. Laurel and
Cape Charles carried off the majority
of awards.

PAPER POPPIES
ON SALE BY
AUXILIARY
Beginning Saturday, May %.
And Lasting Till Memoir
ial Day

"Lest We Forget" so say the little
red paper peoples that will be on sale
by the Worcester Unit No. % of the
American Legion Auxiliary starting
Saturday, May % and continuing un-
til Memorial Day
These paper peoples that are dup
licates of the peoples growing in
Flanders Field" have been adopted as
the official flower of the Legion and
while these red blossoms are worn in
memory of the hero-dead of the World
War, they serve useful purpose to
the living also; for these peoples that
will be on sale on the streets of our
City for full week were made by the
disabled veterans at the Perry Point
Hospital and these men not only re-
ceive money for their work but it also
furnishes useful employment to these
men who are still suffering the cruel
ravages of the war.
The money received from the sale
of these peoples is used for several
of the many "humanity-serving" pro-
iects of the American Legion.
Ten per cent of the net proceeds
Of the money is forwarded to Depart
ment of Child Welfare, ten per cent
to National Child Child Welfare and
ten per cent to National Rehabilita-
ton. The remaining funds are used
locally for the Legion programs of
welfare.
When you purchase a poppy you
are doing more than helping the local
unit raise money, you are lending your
support to the greatest and most far
reaching program of child-caring in
the world, but most important of all,
you are helping an unfortunate vete-
ran find useful and beneficial employ
ment.

MEETING FOR
FARMERS TO
SIGN SHEETS
Dates For Meetings In Berlin,
Snow Hill, Stockton, And
POcOmOke City
FARMERS ADVISED TO
SIGN FOR CASH PAYMENT

Meetings have been scheduled Tor
the next two week in order to give
Worcester County farmers an oppor-
tunity to sign work sheets, showing
the crops harvested on their farms in
1885. According to r. I. Grant,
County Agent, the following schedule
for signing up has been arranged:
Berlin, May 18th, 10th, Municipal
Building, 9 a. M. to 5 p. m.
Snow Hill, May Goth, 21st, County
Agents office, a. m. to p. III.
Stockton, May 22nd, 9th, Fire
House, a. M. to p. m.
Pocomoke, May 23rd, 18th, Citizens
Bank, 9 a. m. to p. m.
Farmers are urged to get their
work sheets in as soon as possible as
the time is short and the program
has been greatly delayed.
Most farmers in the county who are
now raising, or are willing to raise
more clover and more soil conserving
crops, should be sure to sign up as
they will receive a cash payment for
same. The main purpose of the pro-
gram is to divert land from truck anG
grain crops into soil conserving crops
such as clover or soybeans and cow
peas to be turned under by October
21St, 1886. There is no contract to
be signed, although work sheets will
be made out at the above scheduled
meetings. Before attending the meet,
ings farmers should make out prelim-
mary work sheets which were mailed
to them.
For further information get in
touch with the County Agents office,

Did any of you people read about
that young fellow who fell out of a
fourth story window in dormitory al
st. Johns College, and didn't hurt him
self?
Now, if he had even disturbed the
part in his hair, / wouldn't mention
him in this column. AS I do, want
TO say that his experience has proved
that the aged institution at Annapolis
certainly trains its students up to
take the bumps of life without squeal-
ing, and to come up after them in
good shape. I can't say, it would be
advisable to give a course in such ply
steal exercises as fourth-story window
diving, because it would not be safe
to predict passing mark for any
body. The class might die out before
graduation. But that is a remote pos
sibility as evidenced by that miracle
drop. I'd advise, however, that the
college accept his feat as entirely sat-
isfactory and lower the standards of
such efficiency.

"Chirps'' ~
from the
Democrats Pen

Well, Sir, some of those fellows who
worked so hard on the day of the pri-
mary election because of the heavy
poll-so many ballots to handle and
all that-didn't like what I said about
a little game of poke(r) going on in
one of the voting places.
am certainly sorry about that, be-
cause, you see, had to use that
word "poke"(r) to rhyme with "coke. :"
! know you people have heard what
rhetoricians term "poetic license"
In this phrase is contained the idea
of full liberty for poet to transcend
the laws of rhyme and reason and to
become a free lance in the arena OF
metric composition.
So, whether or no the boys were
engaging in the pastime noted, poet
ic license" gave me permission to as
sumo they were, just for the sake of
poetry. You know, that word poet,
they tell me, comes from Greek
word meaning "a maker; that is,
the poet, as I see it, can make up
things to suit himself. I can't say
that a guy who makes up things is
always a poet; sometimes he's big
liar; but, when I make up things,
please don't make any mistake as to
the classification-I'm a poet.
I am giving this advice because I
am afraid it wouldn't be very healthy
for me, if the liberties take in this
column were construed as out-and-out
pieces of fiction. Somebody might
get madden than the primary boys
did, and I might need the services of
surgeon. So boys, just give the
poet all the rope he wants, maybe
he'll hang himself sometimes,
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1936-05-15

An speaking of giving him more
rope, that reminds me that l saw in
one of our EXCHANGES an it"'a telling
about the formation OF "Can Club"
you all know about giving a calf
more rope.
Wonder what they do with calves
in these calf clubs; what kind of
games do they play. A calf is a
mighty playful critter, and sometimes
he isn't as gentle as newly-born
babe. I've seen 'em when they ex-
higited a Touchdown and drag out
disposition. And l wonder what sort
Of refreshments they serve a calf;
they are ruminant creatures, but feed
on the bottle mostly in their infant
calf days.
What's that you say? A calf club
is not a calf club? That's sort of
funny. Reminds me of the old CO.
nundrum, when is a bow not a
bow? When it's a bow-knot." Sc
calf club is something else, all the
while, yet. I'm to understand that
calf club is an organization of hu-
man beings to rear calves. Well, now
III tell you, there is sometimes not
much difference between the calves
and their club men, or boys. You've
heard of ''hoss sense;" sometimes
these youngsters don't have calf sense
and it's bad combination. But, may.
be they'll learn from each other, Sc
the calf club may not be altogether
failure.
