a good American before he gets here.

of these nice. little homes in the re-
Mobilization sections, and maybe the
WPA, the PWA, the AWP, the WAP,
the PAW, of the APW, can find him
something to do. He won't have to
work very hard; that is, if he uses a
shovel like I've seen some of these
laborers CD do. They are on the re-
lief and I know it must be relief for
them to be where they are. They don't
have to even walk around, they use
the shovel handle for a leaning post,
pick up spoonful of dirt when used
for anything else, and discuss with an
other worker (?) how to get hold of

POCOMOKE MEN
HAVE RETURNED
FROM MICHIGAN
Duncan Brothers And Howard
Stevenson Attend Exhibi-
ton Of New OldsmObile

Returning last week from lansing,
Mich, where he attended the national
sales convention of Oldsmobile, L. w.
Duncan, of the Duncan Brothers, pre-
dicted record breaking sales year
in Pocomoke and vicinity for the new
1888 Oldsmobile Skies and Fights
which he saw on display for the first
time at the Oldsmobile factory.
CATER looking at the models Odds
mobile is presenting for the coming
year I am convinced that there will
be greater swing to Oldsmobile in
1888 than ever before" L. w. Duncan
said.
Attending the Oldsmobile conven-
ton with Mr.. Duncan were C. K. Dun
can and Howard Stevenson.
The local contingent were among
representatives of Oldsmobile's Phila-
delphia Zone who were in Lansing at
'the same time. Altogether, more
than $500 Oldsmobile dealers, sales
managers, and statesmen travelled from
all parts of the country to take part
in the series of meetings which ex-
tended over period of two weeks.

GROWERS SHOULD WATCH
LATE SEED PATCHES

In checking over late potato seed
fields during the last week late blight
was found in some areas. DR.. r. A.
Jehle, Plant Pathologist, pointed out
that growers should watch their late
seed patches carefully for the increas-
ed spread of this disease. Black areas
on the leaves and stems is an indica-
ton that it is present. Recent wealth
er conditions are responsible for it's
presence. About ten years ago this
disease caused a great loss, especially
in the Hoosier crop, causing them to
rot in storage.
Where fields are badly infested, the
control is to dig before plants are
entirely mature and if possible have
plenty of dirt cover the tubers. The
damage comes when the spores from
the stems and leaves are washed into
the ground and get into the tubers.

DR.. Thomas Kelley of Scott Powell
Diaries urged the local shippers to buy
more cows and produce more milk, as
the company was in position, due to
recent increases in sales, to handle con
siderable more milk. He urged dairy
men especially who were equipped to
buy additional cattle. He pointed out
also that the Company had recently
spent $4,000 on the Snow Hill Cool
ing Station in improvements. They
will handle both Grade B and Grade
A milk. He urged that the farmers
pay more attention to improving the
quality of their Grade A Milk. We
hope that by next year the local plant
will reach $50 cans.
Mr.. John A. Conover, Dairy Special
list of the University of Maryland, ad-

ity of their milk, making improve
ments to their barns, and meeting the

VISITING REYNARD
COMES TO GRIEF
in TOWN YARD
Fox Hunting Chickens Is Killed
By Two Dogs In Yard Of
MIR. William Mills

Mrs. William Mills, who lives on
Fourth Street, this city, heard, on
Monday last, a commotion in her chick
en- yard.
AS she proceeded to investigate, her
two dogs, a rabbit hound and small
rat terrier, followed her. Almost i'm
mediately the two dogs jumped a fox
doubled teamed it, and, in shorter
time than it take to tell it, Master
Reynard soon was reduced to a con-
dition which absolutely prevented ever
searching for more meals made off the
appetizing broilers.
The rabbit hound grabbed the fox
by his brush" and the terrier sank
his fangs in the thief's throat, soon
causing his death. The animal was a
full-grown grey fox, would weigh be-
tween 20 and 25 pounds and looked to
be three times as heavy as the terrier;
but it failed to master the combined
attack of his two enemies.
1t is not known where the fox could
have come from. There is no near
by cover for him, and just how he
strayed into the city, is a problem
Only extreme hunger could have
tempted him. Such visits are rare
and difficult to explain.

the next dole passed out by our hui
manitarian president. It's great life
if you don't weaken.
But, won't there be a wild flutter
among the high filters when Windsy
and Wally do land on these Shores The
Four Hundred are already looking to
see whether each one has four hundred
changes of costume; they are polish
ing up the family silver and also pol
ishing up their wits to find out what
is necessary to treat royalty "just So"
There will be mad scramble to bring
about an event which can read into
their family history: Edward, ex-king
of England, visited us on November
20;" and those who. succeed will never
speak again to those who fail-the
bourgeois will not be seen. But, wait
let's see what's going to happen.

FAMOUS ORCHESTRA
WILL PLAY FOR
ANNUAL BALL
Lions To Hold Annual Function
At The RemOdeled Amuse-
ment Place-ChatterbOx

Don Bestor's fourteen piece orches-
ira is coming to Salisbury on Tuesday,
October 10Th. The occasion is the Sal
isbury Lions Club annual Charity Ball.
The Salisbury Lions Club has made a
special effort in their charity work to
help the blind and has established a
blind clinic. The proceeds of the dance
on the nineteenth will be devoted to
carrying on this and other charitable
works sponsored by this civic club.
In completing arrangements for Don
Bestor's band the Lions Club has OBJ
tanned one of the best known orches-
tras ever to be heard on the Eastern
Shore. Bestor's music is in all prob
ability, better known to residents of
the Eastern Shore through his long
and successful association with Co.
median Jack Benny. Benny's phrase
"Play Don!" was applied to Don Bes-
tor and has become almost a trade
mark for the orchestra.
Bestor's hotel and ballroom engage
ments read like a list of places that
any band leader might put down as the
height of his ambitions, but few lead
ers have played so many as success
fully as Bestor.
With Don Bestor and his orchestra
at Salisbury, will be Neil Buckley
baritone, who has been with the or
chestra for eight years. 1t is claimed
that Buckley knows more than three
hundred songs which he can sing from
memory.
Through the courtesy of Mr.. Harvey
Ruble, owner of the Chatterbox, for
merly Jackson's, on route Is mile
south of Delmar, the Lions Club is
staging its dance in this newly remode
ed, newly redecorated dance hall prior
to the public opening. It is said that
this hall affords the largest dancing
space on the Eastern Shore. The
Lions are prepared for a capacity
crowd and are determined to give that
crowd the best band and the best
dance floor available.

Aleh Zadik Aleph, Junior Order of
B'nai Birth, will celebrate itsBar
Mitzvah. or thirteenth anniversary,
on Sunday May 9th. This anniver-
sary will mark thirteen years du-
ring which the order, founded in
Omaha in May, 1924 has. spread
throughout the United States and
Canada with 202 chapters in lead
ing cities.
In 1924, there was no Jewish
Youth Inoverr)nt in the Unitdl
States which made an appeal to
boys outside the large population
centers of the east. Feeling the
need for such a movement, and
burning with the desire to further
the lot of Jewish Youth through
out the world, Sam Beber, but a
youth himself at the time, just out
of Creighton University Law school
called together a number of local
leaders among the Jewish c~itizenry
and from this meeting, the Inter-
national Order of Aleph Zadik Ale
phi started.
For more than six centuries, it
has been a tradition of Jewish
people throughout the world that
when a Jewish boy reaches the age
of thirteen, he is formally indicted
into the 1000 year old faith
of Israel. This is done in a confrma-
ton rite known in the Hebrew ton
que as Bar Mitzvah Literally trans
lated Son of Duty').
