"OLD GLORY"
The Stars and Stripes will fly once
more from the flag pole of the POGO
moke High School. About two years
ago the rope was broken by some boys
who were celebrating Halloween and
since that time the flag has not been
raised.
Last week Mr.. George Selby sue
ceeded in going up the pole. He
painted it and put new rope in the
pulley.
Thanks to Mr.. Selby for the work
that he did on the flag pole and we
hope that "Old Glory will fly above
our school every day.
ACCOMAC vs.. POCOMOKE HI
The Accomac quintet, Eastern Shore
of Virginia champs, met the P. H. S.
SO" in thrilling, dazzling game of
basketball here in the auditorium
January 18th. The two teams seemed
to be matched very closely for there
was no score made until three min
utes of the first period had elapsed.
1t was then that Allen, P. H. SIS star
right forward marked up a counter
for the home team. The Virginia
squad played very good ball and
showed excellent craftsmanship al
though they were unable to get the
lead throughout the game. The last
two minutes of play were the most
exciting of the entire game. With
the score tied up at Is 13 it was
merry battle for the winning score,
when Byrd, of the local team, scored
a long shot winning the game by two
points. This was only the second de-
feat the Accomac boys have had in
Maryland this year. The final score
was Pocomoke Hi Is; Accomac High
School Is.

Three Connected in
Wolf Bounty Fraud.

Three Lyon County men were con-
victed last week for collecting wolf
bounties on foxes, according to Herman
c. Wenzel conservation commissioner.
The arrests and convictions followed
investigations conducted by the depart
ment when it appeared that county
auditors were paying wolf bounties in
areas where wolves are known to be
rare, if not entirely absent.
The three men convicted were fined
500 each and given Jail sentences of
30 days. In addition they were ordered
by the court to reimburse the state for
bounty money fraudulently collected
Minnesota law provides that any
town or county officer who shall
knowingly allow fraudulent claims shall
be liable to imprisonment for from two
to five years, or a fine of not to ex-
coed $1,000 or both. This law applies
in wolf bounty cases, according to an
opinion of Attorney General VIM. S
Erwin.

fraud in the collection of wolf bounties, u
declared Commissioner Wenzel.

Cathedral of Antwerp Is
Tribute to the Faithful

The Cathedral of Antwerp, dedi-
Gated to Our Lady and known as
Notre Dame, is one of the finest
Gothic buildings in Europe and one
of the most magnificent and famous
churches of Christendom. About the
year 1852, writes an Antwerp cor
respondent in the New York Her
aid Tribune, the population of Ant
werp undertook the construction of
the Church of Notre Dame, known
later as the Cathedral of Antwerp,
and laid the foundations of the
choir. Without knowing if ever the
building would be completed, wor-
shippers were put to work, guided by
their profound faith that their de-
scendants might finish the structure.
The choir was not even terminated
in laos and the tower was COM
pleted 200 years later. The construc-
ton OF the tower was begun in 1882
aid completed in 1925. The central
nave with its small chapels, the
CHAPTER house and the sacristy from
1852 to 1920. The interior is divided
in seven naves and 230 arches sup
ported by 125 columns.
The cathedral contains many art
treasures, including three master
pieces of Rubens, "The Descent
From the Cross" "The Raising of
the Cross" and "The Assumption of
the Virgin"

During the first nine months of the
fiscal year 1888 (Which begun July l,
1880, 436 applicants have been enlisted
in the U. S. Navy through the Mime
apolis Recruiting District. These men
were transferred to the U. S. Naval
Training Station at Great Lakes, Illinois
where they underwent period of re-
cruit training. Three applicants were
enlisted and transferred to Washington,
D. c., for a course of instruction at

dition to these first enlistment, fifteen
men who were honorably discharged
from an enlistment in the u. S. Navy

for the purpose of continuing their
naval careers.
The PERCENTAGE of men reenlisting
after serving one or more enlistments in
the U. S. Navy, is approximately $50
This large percentage of reenlistments
is due to the excellent career and op-
portunities that the Navy has to offer
the young men of our nation.

The pedestrian is still the cause of
numerous traffic deaths.
In 1887 almost fifty per cent of the
people injured or killed in accidents
involving automobiles were pedestrians
Many Of these accidents were caused
by people walking on the wrong (the
right-hanO side of the, road in rural
communities. This does occur in spite
of the great number Of bulletins, warn
ingS, and splendid newspaper editorials
which have appeared on the subject.
Every school, community, club and
civic organization ought to stress con-
tinually the Importance of pedestrians
obeying traffic rules and regulations.
Walk with the semaphore lights. Do
not jayWalk. Do not cross in the middle
of a block. If you must walk on high
ways or rural roads, walk on the left
side Of the road, facing the on-coming
cars. These and many other warnings
should be cbeyed by all pedestrians.
Stop! Look! Listen!

Doctors Endorse Spring
Campaign Against TB.

tuberculosis kills 10000 people in the
United States each year. For that
reason the campaign carried on each
spring by the Minnesota Public Health
association to discover and control
tuberculosis before it reaches the fatal
stage merits everybody's interest and
assistance, in the opinion of the Min
|nesota State Medical Associations Com
mittee on public health education.
There is no drug that will destroy
the germs of tuberculosis in the body,
according to this bulletin. There Is an
effective skin test, however, that will
detect the presence of the germs in the
body and lead direct to the sufferers
from active tuberculosis who are in
fecting their associates and perpetu-
ating the unnecessarily high death rate
from the disease. -.
tuberculosis spreads from the sick to
the well and when all of the tuber-
culosis sick have been isolated and
treated and their disease controlled so
that they are no longer spreaders OF
germs, the oldest disease scourge known
to man will be controlled.
Doctors therefore heartily endorse the
annual Christmas Seal effort to pre-
vent the spread of tuberculosis and to
find those who are sick early enough to
cure their disease. To cure tuberculosis
when it reaches an advanced stage Is a
long, expensive and often hopeless
Job, the doctors point out. To prevent
| it saves both money and lives.

EDUCATION DETECTIVES.

In early March the Minnesota Home
Demonstration Agents and the State
staff were in conference. One of the
phases which they discussed quite
thoroughly was the place of home dem
onStration work as part of nation
wide system of adult education. Many
definitions of education were talked
over. If we had had the objects of
Education as given by Thomas Jefferson,
we would have had a fine standard for
our discussion. They are:
ITO give to every citizen the infor-
nation he needs for the transaction of
his own business.
ITO enable him to calculate for him
self, and to express and preserve his
ideas, his contracts and accounts, in
writing.
ITO improve, by reading, his morals
and faculties.
ITO understand his duties to his
neighbors and country, and to discharge
with competence the functions confided
to him by either.
ITO know his rights; to exercise with
order and justice those he retains; to
choose with discretion the fiduciary OF
those he delegates; and to notice THEN
conduct with diligence, with candor
and judgment.
And, in general to observe with in
| telligence and faithfulness all the socia,
relations under which he shall be
placed"

FIRST FLOOR BEDROOMS
FOR CONVENIENCE.

A first floor bedroom in house con-
tributes greatly to family convenience
and comfort. 1t eliminates stair climb
ing many times day, and in cold
weather may become a playroom for
the younger children, where the mother
can easily oversee them while doing her
work. When children take maps, it is
easy to get them ready and to hear
them when they awaken. And, too,
if the housewife has acquired the very
desirable habit of relaxing for short
period, morning and afternoon, down.
stairs bedroom is very handy.
When there is sickness in the home,
the patient can use the first floor bed
room, and the housewife may be with
in call and yet free to go on with the
housework.
A first floor bedroom also is desirable.
1t at all possible, it is better to give
access to the bathroom by means of a
small hall SO that no room must be
entered to reach it.

his wife picked out an especially large
one for him, thinking it might have a
double yolk as quite often happens

remove the egg from the shell his knife
struck something hard. On examining

"Blackbeards Tower" Is
Home of Pirates Ghost

If it is true that ghosts walk then
surely the shade of one of the hand
soonest, staggering scoundrels the
world has ever seen must peer OUT
from his ancient stronghold on hill
behind the city of Nassau in the
Bahamas as visiting steamers enter
the harbor, writes a correspondent
in the Philadelphia Inquirer.
The tall tower on the hill back
of the city, known as "Blackbeard's
Tower" is pointed out to visitors,
and the ghost of the pirate, John
Teach, known as Blackboard, must
chuckle when it thinks of all the
buried treasure it knows about.
Legend has it that a vast amount
Of treasure is buried in the islands,
for they lay directly on the track
of the richly laden Spanish ships
which made their way back to Spain
in the Seventeenth century. Many of
these ships were captured and looted
by buccaneers who infested those
waters. Others were wrecked on the
coast of the islands, and men from
Bermuda engaged in the profitable
business of "wrecking," coming to
the Bahamas to recover the treasure
from these ships.
One of the most famous of all the
buccaneers was Teach. He liked
Nassau, it is said, and spent much
of his time there between raids on
Spanish galleons. Whether the peo-
pie of Nassau liked him is question,
but he is supposed to have held
court in the city under gigantic
wild fig tree, welding the powers of
a magistrate.
He used Blackbeard's Tower at
Nassau, the story goes, as a look
out for sighting the Spanish treasure
ships.
There are many treasure maps in
the possession of Bahamians, but,
unfortunately, there is little incen-
tive to seek the buried gold. Under
the law, all treasure, except jewels
and bank notes, goes to the Crown
of England if it is found buried.

Human Skeleton
Dug Up On Farm,

Ivanhoe-A shovel full of bones and
a skull is all that is left of human
being that trod the prairies of Lincoln
county more than half century ago.
Man or woman, white man or Indian,
that is not known, but whoever it was,
life was stopped by the swift flight of
a small, flint arrow. The bones and
skull were found last week by a WPA
crew working four and one-half miles
north of here on the farm of Charles
Stellmach. One of the workers struck
the skull of the skeleton with shovel
and additional digging brought forth
the bones of a human being, decom-
posed, broken and disarranged. Thrown
into a box, the bones and skull were
brought to Ivanhoe by district engineer
Albert Meyer, who displayed the find
in his office at the court house. In ex-
amining the bones he accidentally
found the cause that Snuffed out his
life, a small two-inch flint arrowhead
which was imbedded firmly in the YER
tebrae of the neck.
