Mr.. N. M. YOUNG
MEETS WITH ACCIDENT

Mr.. Norris M. Young met with a
rather painful accident Wednesday af-
ternoon about o'clock when he slip
ped and fell, dislocating his collar
bone.
Mr.. and Mrs. Young were return
ing from Richmond, Va, where they
had attended wedding, and had stop
ped at Painter where Mr.. Young got
out of the car in order to look at
house under construction by Young &
Son. After interviewing a carpenter
he started to return to his car when
he slipped, striking his shoulder.
He was carried to the Nassawadox
Hospital where it was found no bones
were broken and fortunately no ser
ious injury other than dislocation.

HAS
INITIATION OF
POPULATION
Immense Crowds Visit Here On
Wednesday Of This Week,
CrOwding The City
VARIOUS ESTIMATES OF
THE NUMBER PRESENT

The population of Pocomoke on Wed
nesday last was certainly inflated for
that day. One man, who was adjudged
able to estimate a crowd, was asked
how many he thought would number
the people here, and for an answer
he said: "How many people in Della
ware and the two Eastern Shores Of
Virginia and Maryland? They were
all here"
Perhaps he was looking with en-
larged pupils, but there is no mis-
taking the fact that a throng took oc-
casion to make their presence known
here on Wednesday A glimpse at the
parking situation revealed cars from
the Bridge out to the School House on
Market Street; on Second, from the
railroad to the recently improved ter
minal; on Clarke Avenue, from Lin
den out to the old depot vicinity; and
on all other main and cross streets
there were unbroken lines Of cars.
Traffic long before 8 o'clock was
made almost an impossibility, and
when the hour came for an exodus of
the crowd, it took expert directing
to enable the motorists to weave in
and out of the procession without ac-
cident. Accidents, however, have been
reported all along the line from Po-
comoke City to Cape Charles and also
northward to Delmar. Whether these
were due to joy or disappointment,
either resulting in speed bursts, is
not known, but four were reported
between this city and Hallwood.
Wednesday, January Is, revealed
evidence of the great shopping posi-
bilities of Pocomoke City. Represen-
tatives from the three states-Dela-
ware, Maryland, Virginia-were here
in droves, and there was abundance
of evidence a great deal of money had
been expended for wares for which
Pocomoke stores are famous. The
season has been a profitable one for
both buyer and seller. Pocomoke-
merchants always endeavor to give
moneys worth, and the patronage
of the public is proof they get it.
Various estimates of the crowd
here Wednesday were given. They
varied from 5000 to 10000. Possibly
5000 or 1000 would be fair conclus-
ion. No matter how many, Pocomoke
is always glad to see them and hopes
their visits will be oft repeated.

You people maybe, have heard about
the meanest man on earth. Well he
doesn't stay the meanest very long.
Somebody meaner is always cropping
up. The latest is the man who stole
the false teeth from some one who
was giving him lodging place for the
night.
You know what I think? That son
of a gun ought to be made to wear
'em. If it should turn out to be lit
tie difficult for him to adjust 'em to
his mouth, by reason of an already
installed set of natural masticators,
then these out to be yanked out with
out recourse to anaesthetics, and the
stolen set worn until the thief's gums
had accustomed themselves to the
plates. Now, you know how that
would feel, don't you? You know
just how you feel when you have
gone through all necessary prepare

BUREAU
ASSEMBLIES in
BALTIMORE FRI,
Problems Confronting Farmers
Of The State Will Receive
Much Attention
COOPERATIVE BUSINESS
WILL BE EMPHASIZED

Just which of the problems con-
fronting farmers of the state will re-
ceive most attention from their gen.
eral organization is expected to be
decided at the annual business session
of delegates attending the twenty
first annual meeting of the Maryland
Farm Bureau on Friday, January Is.
The business session will come at the
close of four days of farm gatherings
which will bring together more than
a thousand Maryland farm leaders at
Baltimore during the present week.
While the action of the farmer
delegates cannot be forecast in detail
some of the problems which will come
before them for decision have already
been discussed by leaders. These in
clude roads, taxes, and conservation
as major questions, and number of
apparently lesser Importance.
Zone of the resolutions to be con-
sidered,". says Wilbert L. Smith of
Frederick County, chairman of the
conventions resolutions committee,
"Will ask support of Maryland organi-
cation of the efforts of the national
Farm Bureau to secure parity of in
come for farmers. Another will ask
for retention of low interest rates to
agriculture in line with low rates of
money to other industry"
Delegates at the Farm Bureau are
expected to approve the recommends
tions of their joint committee which
have already been acted upon favor
ably by the State Grange. These call
for the shifting of a part of the bur-
den of taxes upon real estate through
the continuance of emergency selective
sales taxes and the adoption of state
income tax.
Delegates are also expected to urge
further development of cooperative
commodity business and extension of
rural electrification through organ
lied effort, according to leaders of the
organization.

from the
Democrats Pen

Well, Sir, have any of you people
been reading about that singing
mouse the Salisbury people have been
trying to foist upon the American
people? It's we'll that said people
are easy to fool-Barnum, you know,
took delight in pulling the wool over
our eyes.
Now, I'll bet the Salisbury people
have either a very vivid imagination
or very poor ear for music. It's
dollars to doughnuts that mouse's
twitter is nothing more than fright
ened squeak, but some of the Wicomi-
co capitals folk see an opportunity to
get little publicity and grab on to
it as quick as that mouse would a bit
of cheese-and nobody blames 'em.
Down here in Pocomoke we have a
lot of animals that make all sorts of
noises; don't know whether you would
call it singing or not. Sir Thomas
Gait comes about as near talking as
you'd want to hear when he sees a
fellow mortal, encroaching on his pre-
serves. We have dogs down here,
which, you'd think had lost their last
and best friends, and had entered up
on a period of mourning as indicated
by the heart-rending, agonizing, dis
pairing bowls of grief they set up.
We have some da-rned little spar
rows who can chirp the life out of
that little opera singer of a mouse,
as they gather in body outside Of
our window and interfere with your
morning comfortable snore. And I'll
stake my reputation as music critic
that we've got many little specimen
of the "Mus musculus" that could out
register the Salisbury vocalist in an
addition test-if we could get our
hands on 'em; but between you and me
I don't like to touch the critters, and
I have a sneaking idea the. don't like
petting parties very much.
How-some-ever, that singing mouse
mas my curiosity reused, and I'm 60
ing to give it an interview if I can
manage it without too much cost.

43 years of age, met his death

from a pistol in the hands of some
unknown party, and recommended
further investigation.
Mr.. Trader is well known in this
city and county, and was in the ice
