REV. DR.. MATHEWS
ADDRESSES THE
POCOMOKE LIONS
Speaks Upon The Recent Over
whelming Majority Of
President Roosevelt

The Pocomoke City Lions Club had
as their guest speaker on Tuesday
evening last, the Rev. DR.. R. B.
Mathews, rector of St. Mary's Epes-
copal Church, this city.
There was fine attendance who
listened most intently to the Doctors
address, which dealt largely with the
Importance of maintaining in this
country democratic form Of govern
ment; that is, government by the
people.
The speaker referred to the recent
election, the result of which was so
overwhelmingly one-sided as to be al
most inconceivable, and therefore,
hardly capable of being understood.
Without any evidence of partisan
ship in his expressed sentiments, he
was of the opinion that too much pow
er might be placed in one man to the
extent of endangering our form of
government, bequeathed to us by those
who braved the dangers of a New
World in order to establish freedom
in every department of life.
The subject was handled in the mas
terly way that DR.. Matthews audien-
ces are accustomed to hear and was
thoroughly enjoyed.

MISS WILLIE WALTERS
HAS AUTO STOLEN

A very bold theft was committed
on Tuesday Of this week, when some
unknown party, or parties, deliberate
ly boarded the car of Miss Willie Wal
ters on Market Street, drove off, and,
up to this writing, the auto has not
been heard from.
The machine, a Chevrolet coupe,
practically new, was parked on the
street in front of her home, and the
hour was between IL and l o'clock.
It was facing south, so it was suppos-
ed to have been driven off in that di-
rection.
Miss Walters Immediately notified
the police of both Maryland and Vir-
ginia, and :hese are on a close hunt
for the machine. The number of the
license tag is "229-283." Some one
suggested that nothing more could be
expected as a result of such a COM
bination of figures. The first three,
"229", add "13"; and the second three,
"283", also add "13" and "13" is an
ill luck number.
The car will probably be recovered,
and it is to be hoped that the mis-
creants have done nothing to damage
it seriously.

GAME SCHEDULED
AT CHESTERTOWN
Peninsula Classic Takes Place
Between Washington College
And Delaware University

The gridiron classic of the Delmar-
va Peninsula is set for tomorrow
Saturday, November FL at Chester
town when Washington College meets
the University of Delaware in the an
nual football battle between these two
peninsula rivals. Seasons records,
good or poor, are forgotten when
these old foes take to the field to op-
pose each other. The Blue Hens were
winners last year at Newark and
Washington is out to avenge the de-
feat.
The records of the teams this sea-
son would indicate toss-up battle,
not to be decided until the final whis-
tie.
The contest will be in the nature of
a second Homecoming Day" game for
the Shoremen and elaborate plans for
the entertainment of returning alum
nj will be climaxed Saturday evening
with a dance at the Chester River
Yacht and Country Club.
One of the features of the game will
be the rivalry between the student
bands and cheering sections of the two
schools, while thousand high school
senior boys and Boy Scouts from all
sections of the peninsula, guests of
Washington College for the occasion,
will add color to the event.

Any of you folks know guy by the
name of Ralph A. Resolves here
in Pocomoke? Don't, eh! we'll, you're
lucky at that.
Are you acquainted with another
one named H. Merrill Walters-Pete
to you? You do? Well, he's anoth-
er Ralph Ross, that's all. And if you
go away on trip and get tucked
away between these two, why, when
you get home, you've experienced
about all that's promised to those who
have not followed the straight and
narrow way. And, know, you are
purified by the fire you have gone
through; the Devil has no more claim
upon you.
If you don't believe it, ask Paul
Gladding if he's got any brain left
after trying to settle three-cornered
bet involving about two bits on the
result of the Maryland University
Virginia Military Institute foot ball
game.
No wonder they had to stop over in
Seaford on the way home that night
They keep open little later than they
do here, you see. But Paul was
woozy long before he got there, and if
he has recovered his normal self, he's
lucky. He's young, sturdy kid, that's
all that saved him.
If any of you neighboring towns
and cities have any residents who
think they can kid, bring 'em on. II
they don't look like cake of soap af-
ter weeks washing when they fin
ish with Ross, Merrill, and Company
then I'll pay that debt to Paul Glad.

LOCAL ROTARY
CLUB ENTERTAINS
CAMBRIDGE MEN
Five Members Of Dorchester
Club Pay Local Club Wis
it On Monday Night

The local Rotarians had as guests
on Monday evening last, five members
of the Cambridge, Md, Rotary Club,
including the President, Enos Valiant.
The others were, DR.. Bob Weyzand,
Howard w. Simmons, J. Richard
Smith, and J. Emerson Skinner.
Their visit was a purely social one
and the feeling which prompted it was
very gratifying to the Pocomoke or
ganization. There was one hundred
per cent attendance of the local club,
and the general high average in that
particular was a matter of most fa-
vorable comment by the Cambridge
men. Good fellowship prevailed, and
the Pocomoke Rotarians are trusting
some other city will follow the exam
pie of Cambridge in the very near fu-
ture.
There were also present, three Of
ficials from the Pocomoke-S Snow Hill
CCC Camp: Capt. A. T. Wilson; Lieu
tenant Harry Sheets and E. Franklin
Giiffin, Educational Advisor. These
made very interesting talks concern
ing the different activities of the
camp They were listened to with
marked attention, and the information
contained in their speeches was both
instructive and pleasing.
