WEDDING OF INTEREST
SOLEMNIZED in BALTIC.

to many here took place in Ellicott

Miss Lillia Taylor of Tennessee and
Baltimore became the bride OF Mr..
Milton Mariner, of 402 West Mulberry
St., Baltimore.
The wedding which was performed
in the Lutheran Church by DR.. Num-

bers of the family and few friends
present. The groom is the son of Mrs.
Essie l.. Mariner, former resident of
this city and has many relatives IN
Pocomoke and vicinity.
Mr.. and Mrs. Mariner will take up
their residence at 1917 Monroe ST.,

MISS M. E. SECRIST
WEDS F. W. PHILLIPS

A quiet but very pretty wedding
ceremony was solemnized Sunday, Au-
gust seventh, when Miss Mary Eliza
beth Sigrist, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Joe Sigrist of Westover, became the
bride of Mr.. Frederick Wilson Phil
lips, also of Westover. The ceremony
was performed in the Rectory of st.
Francis DeSales Church, of Salisbury,
by the Rev. H. E. Mcdonald.
Miss Mae Sigrist, sister of the
bride, was maid of honor and Mr..
Marion Pusey acted as best man. The
bride was becomingly attired in an
ensemble of blue with matching acces-
sories.
At the conclusion of a brief we'd
ding trip the young couple will make
their home in Westover.

Well, they tell me that our snappy
third baseman has "flew the coop"
and gone with some other birds, the
"Orioles, of Baltimore" To my way
of thinking, Schluter should feel him
elf perfectly at home with those
Birds. The Orioles and the POGO
mokes have very much in common.
Neither of them has, as yet, flown to
any great heights. In legendary
times there used to be a bird called
the "Dodo", or flightless bird. Of
course, such member of the feather
ed tribe couldn't fly very high-neith-
er, apparently can the Orioles; so
when Schluter lands on their diamond
all he has to do is to think of a SIM
ilarly constituted ball club down in
Worcester, and he needn't get at all
nervous. Let him shut his mental
eyes and he might not be conscious
that he has crossed the Bay.
How-some-ever, this same Schluter
hasn't been doing so awfully awful
since he's been there. 1 don't think
the Orioles will fall any lower by his
bad playing, particularly; he's doing
as well as the others along that line.
Here's hoping he may cause those
"Dodos" to sprout some wings; or, if
those Orioles have had their wings
clipped, he may look to his own and
help the club to get out of it's nest.

You know, this $40 Sierra" stuff
that comes to me every week, hits the
nail on the head sometimes. Here's
what he has to say about the lending
and spending spree in Washington.
"Those cow-hands down yonder in
the Rio Grande country, they may be
far removed from the very biggest
cities, but, stranger, they know how
to get around.
"And the latest, it is the way they
are handling this here lending and
spending spree, or whatever you call
it in your town. And this long-horn
mayor I been reading about down
there in San Antonio, he told 'em IN
Washington, where they were fixing
to wrap up the greenbacks, he says,
nix.
Brother, there is news. And the

AND
OTHER CHAPTERS
ATTEND CAMP
Future Farmers Of America
Present At Camp Held At
College Park
SPENT THREE DAYS OF
REAL ENTERTAINMENT

The Pocomoke and Stockton chap
ters of Future Farmers of America
attended che State F. F. A. Camp held
at College Park, during August 5, 6
and 7th.
The purpose of the camp was to
bring together F. F. A. boys from all
over the state for three days during
which time they visited the Expert
mental Farm at Beltsville, the Uni
versity Campus and various places of
interest in the Nations Capital.
Eleven boys from Stockton and
Pocomoke and nine from Princess
Anne with their instructors left early
Friday morning for College Park.
The group arrived at College Park
at 11:2O A. M. Friday morning. I'M
mediately they registered at the col
lege for their rooms and meals. Af-
ter lunch they spent the afternoon Wis
iting the Governments Experimental
Farms at Beltsville. The purpose and
results of these experiments which
are conducted by the government with
swine, dairy, and beef cattle, sheep
and poultry were explained by the
men who conducted the experimental
work.
After dinner on Friday night all
of the boys played softball on the
University campus, until dark. Later
in the evening several interesting
scenes of the University Buildings
and campus were shown in the Agri-
cultural Auditorium.
On Saturday morning the entire
group headed by DR.. H. F. Cotterman,
State Supervisor of Vocational Agri-
cultural, was escorted by state and
district troopers to the Federal Bu-
reau of Investigation in Washington.
Here competent guides showed the en-
tire group through the department
and pointed out several interesting
things to them. Among the most
interesting things seen by the group
were the personal belongings of the
late Dillinger which included his hat,
glasses, cigar, and a girl friends
picture which he carried in his pocket
on the night he was shot by G-Men
in Chicago.
The guides also explained how a
criminals record is gotten; how he
is finger printed, and how easy it is
for the department to check on a
criminal to determine whether it is
his first or second crime. The group
was told that on an average the de-
partment can check criminals re-
cord and determine whether he has
committed other known crimes, in
about three minutes. This is remark
able feat when you consider that the
department has over 100000 crimi-
nal records to look over. The guides
gave a demonstration of the method
which is used to determine whether a
criminal has a record on file.
After leaving the Federal Bureau
of Investigation the group visited the

POCOMOKE CLUB
SHOWING FANS
GOOD BASE BALL
Since Last Issue OF The "DemO-
crat" 1t Has Played Over
500 Per Cent Ball
KINGDOM SEEMS TO BE
HANDLING TEAM WELL

Since the last issue Of the Demo
crat the local ball club has won
games and lost 3.
On last Thursday night they de-
feated the Milford team on the local
diamond by a score of IA. This game
was called in the seventh inning on
account of rain.
On Friday they journeyed to Mil
ford and were defeated by the score
of 81.
On Saturday they played Cambridge
a double header, which was split.
The first game was won by Pocomoke
bv the score of AZ and the second by
Cambridge 40.
On Sunday they were defeated by
fredericksburg at that place but on
Tuesday they took the same club into
camp by the score of 7-2.
On Wednesday night they played
Centreville at that place and took
them into camp to the tune of 8-4.
Generally speaking the ball club
at the present time are playing the
best ball of the season. Of course
a lot of the credit is due to the man
ager, Yves Kingdom, who is right in
the game at second base and is always
encouraging the boys to play at their
very best. The way the team has
been playing since he has been here
would lead one to believe that, had he
been here at the start of the season,
Pocomoke would surely have been in
the playoff with all ease. Then again
the pitching staff of the locals is
greatly improved from the first of
the season. At present they are pitch
games that will compare with the best
in the league.
Although it is almost impossible
for the local club to be in the playoff
this season, with some of the material
that Owner Ehlers has on his club
at the present time and with a man
ager of the calibre of Wes Kingdom,
they should not have the least bit of
trouble being in the first division all
next year. There are some few spots
that need to be strengthened and all
are sure that this will be taken care
of by the owner.
On Friday night the locals play
Cambridge single admission, double
header in this park, the first game
starting at 7:30 P. M.
On Sunday afternoon they play
Salisbury here at 2:30.
Next Tuesday they play Milford at
8:15 and on Friday Easton plays in
this park at 8:15.
Anyone desiring two hours of good
clean sport and desiring to see good
ball game would do we'll to attend
the ball games being played in the
local ball park.

SAVING CLASSES
Those Interested In Enrolling
Should Get In Touch With
Mrs. l.. C.. Callahan
MIR. McCUBBIN WILL CON-
DUCT THE PROGRAMS

Indications are that the life saving
classes now being organized by the
Worcester County Red Cross chap
ter will be we'll attended, Mrs. Will
liam J. Pilchard, chapter vice-chair-
man, stated yesterday.
eve are anxious to have all young
people, and as many others as pos
sible in the county trained in the prop
er ways of applying artificial res
piration and in furthering water SAT-
ETY. in our community, "Mr. McCub-
bin said. "The instructor, Mr.
McCubbin, is highly qualified as a
teacher, and we are hoping that ca
pacity enrolment will be ready for
the first class"
Mr.. McCubbin pointed out that the
goal of the American Red Cross was
every American a swimmer, and
every swimmer a life saver" and said
that the yearly record of lives saved
by persons trained in the methods
taught by the Red Cross clearly dem
onstrated that the terrific loss of lives
each summer from water accidents,
something like 5000 could be lessen
ed if more persons were trained in
water first aid.
Gall persons interested in enrolling
in the class should get in touch with
Mrs. Griffin Callahan, Pocomoke, Md,
Mr.. Edward Harris, Snow Hill, Md,
or Mrs. William J. Pilchard, Snow
Hill, Md, as soon as possible" Mr..
McCubbin said. Certificates will be
granted those who successfully COM
plete the course, and we hope that
young people in the county will take
advantage of this opportunity to be-
come guardians of public safety a
round swimming pools and at bathing
beaches"
Long active in canoeing and sailing,
and with a sound record of experience
in rf-boarding, water rescue work
and swimming instruction, Mr.. Nc
Cubbin brings a practical background
to the Red Cross to qualify him for
his present duties both in First Aid
and in water safety.
While residing in Jacksonville, Fla,
he was for six years a member of the
volunteer life saving corps of that
city, later serving as quartermaster of
the corps for two years. He was one
of the instructors and taught the use
of the surf board on rescuing drown
ing persons.
While a member of the Seminole
Canoe and Yacht Club there he be-
came adept at handling canoes and
boats.
In 1886 he attended the Red Cross
aquatic school at Annapolis, Nd, one
of the organizations Institutes which
gives advanced instruction in First
Aid, boat handling and water rescue
work. In 1887 he was a member of
the faculty of the National Aquatic
School at Narrowsburg, New York.

Well, Sir, I said something In this
column last week about dogs, etc.,
mostly ct cetera. You know, there is
an old adage which admonihes as to
'Let sleeping dogs lie." l don't
know whether the dogs were all ly-
ing asleep when wrote what l did;
but, if they were, they got mad at
what I said, and they have kept them
selves and everybody else awake ever
since. They have appeared to have
been ashland of their night serenades
recenetly, and proceeded to show the
denizens of Pocomoke just what they
could do-and they done it.
By the way, see by the papers that
up in Kent County, they have adopted
a clever scheme, and / believe it will
solve the dog problem: they have ap-
pointed "dog constables." Now, that's
lust what I'd like to see down here,
and I know one or two dogs that
would make wonderful constables.
There's a great big black rascal, as
big as Mr.. Highlig's pony, which, were
it clothed with the proper authority,
could go around and chew up some OF
these sleepless CANNES in jiffy; and
give him two deputies like Charley
Crockett's two amiable police dogs,
and the night would soon be as calm
as the Cobb desert in an iff-season for
tourists.
I think the town authorities should
take the example of this Sho' town
under consideration. You see, it has,
as a recommendation, the virtue of
economy. 1 am quite sure, these con-
tables wouldn't want any remunera-
ton over and above a pound or two OF
steak daily and this needn't be of the
choicest cuts. Further-some-more,
these canine officers would play no
favorites; they wouldn't stop to in
quire whose dog it was. Just say
"Sic 'em," and they do their duty.
And I know one or two situations
where I'd like to do the sicing, and
1 would like to do it just when the
contables felt the hungriest.
Pm going to keep this innovation in
mind and see how it operates and how
it results and 1 advise our City Coun-
ell to watch this column for further
information. Pm wonderfully impress
ed with it, and I know when some of
these mouthy quadrupeds see some OF
those constables arriving on the scene
they'll hunt cover and hunt it quick
