PREPARATION FOR SALES

AS per advertisement in the Demo
craft, the old established firm of L.
H. Merrill will have a representative
from a tailoring company on hand to-
day (Friday) and tomorrow to take
orders for custom made clothing.
Signs of Spring trade are evident
in the above emporium in the general
cleanup and paint-up of the inter-
Tor. Big improvements have been
made in the show windows, and the
walls and woodwork have all received
attractive coats of paint.
Pocomoke business houses, in gen.
eral, are looking forward to big sell
ings as the open season approaches,
and buyers would do we'll to look over
local merchandising stocks. A pur-
chaser can make no mistake buying
in Pocomoke.

Mrs. Harcum has been nominated for
the presidency of the Maryland Fed
Grafton of Women's Clubs. The cleo
ton will take place in Baltimore
April II to Is. If elected, Mrs. Har-
cum will have the distinction of being
the first Eastern Shore woman to oc-
cupy the chair of State President.
The principal address was made by
Mrs. Hester Beall Provenson, of the
Department of Speech, University OF
Maryland Members and guests re-
sponded to the delightful personality
of Mrs. Provenson and were thrilled
by her charm of manner and her bril-
liant address on "What Is 1t All
About?" She asked the question
what is this interest we have in club
work." She gave the definition of a
CLUB" as a company or group of per-
sons organized for the purpose of &C
complishing a certain thing. She
stressed the Importance of self-devel-
opment and how one could develop
ones self very definitely through club
activities and social contacts. She
spoke of the background of small
towns, the social contact and sense
of balance one could not find in large
cities.
To quote Mrs. Provenson "Life to
be happy and truly beautiful means
companionship, social contacts" She
spoke of bridge" which has supplant-
ed the lost art of conversation" We
hear much about woman's dependence
on man. Mrs. Provenson depressed
from her topic and spoke of mans de-
pendence on woman and launched a
good-natured verbal broadside against
the weaker six (man). At the con-
clusion of her address the toastmis-
tress called on DR.. r. B. Mathews to
defend his sex. He responded by pay
ing a tribute to the charm and per-
sonality of the speaker and prefaced
his remarks with ga woman is as old
as she looks and a man is old when
he stops looking"

This was followed by an impress
i've ceremony which opened with His
tory of the Maryland Flag, by Mrs.
Upshur Stevenson; and Tribute to
the Flag in verse, by Mrs. Bates Han
cock. Mrs. Stevenson's history con-
tanned some valuable information as to

ing of it's colors. Mrs. Hancock, too,
deserves commentator for her ex-
cellent contribution to the program.
Joining Mrs. Stevenson and Mrs. Han
cock, the members and guests stood
while Mrs. VIM. S. Bowen, club plan
list, struck the opening chords of

brought District greetings and opened
her remarks with two important an
nouncements. She spoke of the recent
cancer control fund drive and stated
that Maryland had "gone over the
top" her goal being $4,000 and the
state responding with contribution
of $500. She also reminded MEM
bers of Eastern Shore Day" in Wash
ington on March 10Th. Mrs. Harcum
gave some interesting facts regarding
old Maryland landmarks of wide
spread historical interest. She refer
red to a tulip tree in Annapolis over
600 years old. Her talk gave a rare
insight into the old industries of Bal
timore, the Colonial atmosphere OF
Annapolis and Frederick, and other
points of scenic and historic interest

The fisheries Of Alaska are one
of the most important industries
in the entire territory. Hatcheries
for salmon are maintained by the
United States Department of Fish
cries in Alaska; and every effort
is made to propagate salmon every
year in order to care for the needs
of our people in this edible prod
uct. The total value of Alaskan
fishery products in 1885 was $751;
230,646. Fishing in Alaska is more
than a sport; it is the livelihood
for many thousands Of men. The
fish caught along the shores of AL
aska for public consumption are
salmon, herring, halibut, whales,
cod. clam, shrimp, and other types
of fish.
There are no manufacturing
plants in Alaska in so far as we
are able to determine from litera-
ture sent US, or from the other
sources of information at our dis
posal.
Early Alaskan history shows
that most Of the transportation
was through the medium of boats
on the rivers. However, now that
railways have been put into opera
ton in Alaska, steamboat traffic
has been greatly curtailed. There
are now 1889 miles of wagon
roads, 1,404 miles Of sled roads,
and 1850 miles of trails, which
greatly facilitate land travel.
There is a total mileage Of rail
roads in Alaska Of GA. Aviation
development has made accessible
in a few hours places that only
could be reached by dog sled IN
six weeks or two months travel,
with great hardship.
The population of Alaska is 3d.
578; and the territorial capitol is
located at Juneau.
There are two classes of schools
in the territory of Alaska; those
that are within the Incorporated
cities and towns, and the rural. In
the case of the former, they are
supported largely by federal taxa
ton of different descriptions IN
tended for schools in Alaska.
Those of the latter are entirely
supported by funds secured within
the territory.
The territorial schools, includ,
ing the elementary schools and
the high schools. arc under the
general supervision OF a territorial
hoard of education, with the COM
