All metals can be turned into
liquid if they are made hot enough,
but one metal is liquid even when it
is cold. 1t is called mercury or
quicksilver.
If you pour some of the silver
white metal into the palm of your
hand, and keep it there minute or
two, you can observe how quickly
1t rolls about when you turn your
hand bit. The rapid motion of
mercury no doubt explains both of
its common names. The olden god,
Mercury, was supposed to be such a
fast traveller that he acted as mes
senger for the other gods.
At the freezing point of water
mercury is still liquid. The tenn
perature must go down to 80 degrees
below zero Fahrenheit before the
metal will freeze.
Mercury expands evenly when 1t
Is heated. That is one reason it is
valued so highly for thermometers.
A small amount is placed inside the
bulb and tube of thermometer, and
the hotter the weather gets the more
the mercury expands. Since it has
no place to go except upward, it rises

More than two centuries ago Ga
briel Daniel Fahrenheit invented
the thermometer which has his
name. He was not the first to make
thermometer, but he is honored as
the first to use mercury in the bulb

WORTHY MATRON IS
GIVEN SURPRISE MONDAY

Officers and members of Crescent
Chapter No. Al Order of the Eastern
Star gave a delightful surprise party
Monday night, following the regular
meeting, honoring their Worthy Ma
tron, Mrs. Zella Crockett Lambden
whose marriage to Mr.. Stanley Lamb
den of this city took place July 3rd.
The entertainment was on a humor-
Gus order, depicting a mock wedding,
the cast including fourteen officers
and members of the local organiza-
tion. In ridiculous garb the wedding
party entered to the strains of the
march and were met by the
preacher. The vested choir rendered
inappropriate" music and the cere-
mony was under way.
Quite a few visitors were present
and the Worthy Matron, Mrs. Mamie
Burbage, of Wicomico Chapter, Sal
isbury, presented Mrs. Lambden with
a lovely gift. The local chapter, also,
made a presentation of silver.

SLICK THIEVES
PURCHASE HOGS
OF DEL. FARMER
Carried To Reliance And Sold To
Local Meat Dealer Conceal
ing The Facts
THE MEN WE'RE TAKEN
INTO CUSTODY LATER

"The Leader" a weekly publication
of Seaford, Delaware, contained the
following account of rather novel
swindle, in which Pocomoke business
man was an innocent participant:
Russell O'Neal, 81, and Earl Jewell
both of Cannon, near here, were ar
rested by Constable L. w. Marvil, of
Seaford Saturday charged with i'm
personating state veterinarians and
obtaining under false pretenses two
hogs from the farm of Garfield Hill
of near Hearn's Cross Roads.
"While working in a field at his
farm last Friday, Mr.. Hill heard his
hogs squealing and hastened to the
pigpen where, it is alleged, he found
the two young men, trying to put two
of his hogs into an automobile. The
youths informed the farmer that they
were state veterinarians on an inspec-
tion trip of cattle and hogs and had
found the hogs they were endeavoring
to get into the car were diseased.
"Mr. Hill believed them, he said
later and when they gave him a piece
of paper which they said was redeem
able by the state for the price of his
hogs, he helped them load the hogs,
one of which weighed about 200
pounds, into the machine.
"The farmer estimated the price of
the hogs at $25, and the two told him
as soon as he sent the piece of paper
to the state he would receive a check
for that amount.
The young men carted the porkers
away and sold them to M. H. Heilig,
Pocomoke City, Nd, meat dealer,
whom they met at Reliance, near here.
However, before selling the hogs to
him the youths had taken them to the
farm of Melvin O'Day, near here, and
asked Mr.. O'Day if they could leave
them in his place for day or two.
After the sale was made, Mr.. Heilig
and the youths came here where Mr..
Heilig was to get check cashed at a
local grocery and meat store and pay
them off.
"When Mr.. Heilig entered the store
of G. E. Warrington, whom he knew,
the young men fled. This aroused Mr..
Heilig's suspicious and he carried the
hogs back to the O'Day farm. When
it was learned the animals belonged to
Hill, they were returned to his farm.
"O'Neal and Jewell were locked up
here and later taken to Georgetown
Jail to await a hearing here before
T. w. Moore. O'Day was
held under $500 bail by Magistrate
Moore on charges of receiving goods
obtained under false pretenses.
The paper given Hill by the two
youths was a part of an old 1886 bal
lot. When he failed to cash it in
Georgetown, he complained to State
Detective Norman Wilkins, who assist
ed Constable Marvel in making the
arrest"

"Chirps'' ~
from the
Democrats Pen

Well, Sir, a man came into my Of
flee last week and bought paper. AS
he went out, I pointed to the head
lines spread across the first page and
intimated that Tydings wouldn't be a
bad man to vote for.
"II amt a-goin' to vote for him"
he was quick to reply.
"Why?" I asked.
"I amt a-goin' to vote for him.
throat cut" he shrieked.
Now, I want to say to that gentle
man, that, so far as his opinion is
concerned, he'd better go into hiding.
The throat-cutter has been elected,
and he's sharpening his knife for all
who voted against him-or else not.
Mr.. Tydings was accused of whole
lot of sin and wickedness. He stole
money from the state to build private
roads; he took care of his home town
to the utter disgust of superior CD
individuals; he dared to oppose the
magnificent will of a White House
supermentality; he erred and stray
ed from New Deal sign boards, until,
according to some, he was lost in poll
tical oblivion; he did awful things too
numerous to mention, bringing on him
the censure of would-be national
bosses; but, haven't heard of his be-
ing a murderer.
It may be that David ]. Lewis may
accuse him of numbering the chances
Mr.. Lewis had for seat in the Sen
ate. F. Delano may accuse him OF
being killer of autocrats. The New
Deal may accuse him of being an Old
Fool-and many another accusation
may go flying in "Milord's" window
to disturb his quiet sleeping; but I've
not yet heard anything about his in
stincts compelling him to shed blood
So, my dear man, mean the man
who bought the paper, 1 don't want
you to die of heart failure. I want
you to live until Millard Tydings gets
ready to cut your throat actually OF
figuratively. And if the man is q
WPA worker, or on any of the many
alphabetical organizations, he's just
as safe with Mr.. Tydings as he would
be with Lewis. Possibly safer. For
today's accomplishments are no assur-
ance of what the presidential policy
may be tomorrow. He may feed the
throat today and slash it tomorrow
Mr.. Tydings knows better what he's
about, and he amt no throat-cutter
neither.
How-ome-ever, I would advise all
my readers to avoid looking at Jack
Lambert's artistic production of the
Tydings' counterfeit presentment, ap-
pearing in the September 18th issue
of the Evening Sun. Milford" might
be anything from that piece of work.
I'm not sure that a man who looks
like that couldn't be the Mephistoph-
eles of Goethe, the Shylock of Shakes
peare, the Old Nick himelf of Dante's

PERTINENT
FACTS IN THE
CITY ELECTION
Correspondent Sets Matter In
Detail Before The Cor
pOratiOn Voters
CASE WILL PROBABLY
GO TO MANY COURTS

The Pocomoke election contest, in
which former Mayor r. V. Gladding
is endeavoring to unseat Mayor E. w.
Ross, reached the stage last week
where the ballot box was opened We'd
nesday morning, September z, and at
torney George H. Myers, Princess
Anne, Md, removed therefrom the
books containing the list of voters.
This case has been in the Circuit
Court since last April, when Mr.. Glad
ding brought suit against Mayor Ross
alleging that more than 1856 unqua1-
fled votes were cast in the election
held April 5, 1888, Ross majority
over Gladding being 1876 votes. Without
apparently any testimony to support
the suit and without any charge OF
irregularity or misconduct on the part
of. the judges who had supervision OF
election, Judge Crockett decided to
issue an order demanding the OPEN
ing of the ballot box and the supply
ing of a list of voters to the parties
involved.
A demurrer was filed by Mayor
Ross which was over-ruled by the
Court. Subsequently Judge Crockett
issued special order directing the
city clerk to open the ballot box in
the presence of the attorneys for the
parties to the suit. Mayor Ross then
filed a petition asking the court to
rescind Judge Crockett's order and set
a date for hearing on the matter
The hearing was set for Wednesday,
afternoon, August 31st, at which time
the petition for resembling the Judges
order was denied.
Mayor Ross, through attorneys
Child and Sanford, takes the position
that until Mr.. G1adding has establish
ed foundation, by competent testi-
mony, to support his suit, Judge Crock
ett was without jurisdiction to issue
such an order. Moreover, in spite of
the fact, it has been alleged, that
more than 1856 unqualified votes were
cast in the election, yet not even ONE
unqualified voter has been produced
to help support the contention.
Notwithstanding these facts, Judge
Crockett has allowed the opening of
the ballot box and the case will now
move on to the taking of testimony
before a magistrate, from there the
matter will progress to the Circuit
Court and, according to advice receiv-
ed from City Officials, will then be
fought out in the Court of Appeals.
It will likely be interesting to the
citizens of Pocomoke to have COM
parison of the election returns of 1882
(when Mr.. Gladding was first elected
Mayor) with those of 1888. In 1882
Mr.. M. w. Costen and DR.. J. T. Mock
opposed Mr.. Gladding for the office.
The returns showed the following

R. V. Gladding. .................5 .583

Hinckley Loses A
Football Contest

In hard fought football game, Pine
City defeated the Hinckley high school
Friday by score of Is to 6. AS
the score indicates, the teams were
evenly matched, with the Pine City
boys having the better of the argu-
ment during the first half and Hinck-
ley dominating the play throughout
most of the last half.
Both of Pine City's scores were
made in the. first half. By hard play
ing, the Pine City lads put the ball
across for a touchdown toward the
end of the first quarter, with Green
lee, Pine City's fullback, carrying the
ball over. McNeal kicked the extra
point making the score Pine City 7,
Hinckley 0. In the second quarter,
McNeal, playing at right half, made
several good runs, and with the ball
on the 20-yard line, Greenlee took a
long pass from Foster and went over
for another touchdown. The kick
for extra point failed, giving Pine
City Is to edge as the half ended
In the second half, the Hinckley
team seemed less worn by the hard
battle, and held Pine City for downs,
and the third quarter went score
less. In the fourth quarter Hinckley
made several fine plays and resorted
to a strong passing game to put the
ball within scoring distance. Leyden
of Hinckley, succeeded in plunging
over for his teams lone touchdown
An attempt to plunge over for the
extra point failed and the score stood
at 13 to in Pine City's favor. Hinck-
ley again resorted to passes, complet-
ing one, and then had one intercepted
by McKusick of Pine City, who re-
turned the ball to midfield. Although
much worn by a gruelling defense
game, the Pine City team went into
a line attack and the game ended
with the ball in their possession, score
Is to 6 in their favor. Kenneth Gay
of Sturgeon Lake, refereed the game.
