bug and dangled it in front of frog
gie's eye. To the crowd, he announced
in regular loud-speaker style: "Boys,
I'm throwing bug to frog. If he
eats it, Pocomoke wins; if it says,
No, thank you, Pocomoke loses"
What happened? The next struck
out. The next man attempted a
bunt, sliced it in the air to the short
stop who hauled it in on a fly, then
snapped it to the third baseman, be-
fore the runner, who had started for
home, could get back-a double play
and the game went to Pocomoke be-
cause the fan knew in his heart the
frog would eat the bug, but still it
had to be proved. He was willing to
take a chance. He gambled on Ma
lures propensity; and bet on the luck
of batter's eye.
Now, "Wootten" tell you who this
is for anything in the world. But
there's not many such ardent follow
ers of the game as he is. If the home
team loses, he loses half his nights
repose thinking about it, and when he
does sleep he dreams of Daniel in the
lions den; the Hebrew children in the
fiery furnace; the Israelites crossing
the Red Sea; the ram that providen-
tally saved the life of Isaac, and
prays that his ball team may always
come out thus VIGOROUSLY from de-
feat and death.

BAD ACCIDENT ON A
CURVE NEAR TOWN

Strickland; the other young man was
Paul Purnell, 2Ss N. 52nd Street,
Philadelphia. Both cars were badly
wrecked. Mrs. Suffer was probably
the most seriously injured of the five;
the two little girls escaping unhurt.
Mrs. Suffers face was torn; all were
cut and bleeding so badly it was i'm
possible to ascertain the extent of
their injuries.
This is probably one of the most
dangerous curves in this section of the
Shore. A short time ago young man
was killed on the exact spot and sew
eral accidents, of more or less SER
ious nature, have occurred on this
curve. Those familiar with the high
way will naturally slacken speed but
those unfamiliar with this part of the
Shore approach the curve at an aver
age rate but cannot always negotiate
the sharp turn.
Either the road should be straight
ened at this point or some sign should
be erected to warn motorists of this
particularly dangerous curve.

STUDENT AID
PROGRAM WILL
Be EXTENDED
Exempt Schools And Colleges In
Worcester County Will Aid
More Students
WORCESTER AID FUND
INCREASED TO $1,72S.OO

During the school year 19S9-1940,
tax exempt schools and colleges In
Worcester County will be able to as
sist an increased number of needy
students to continue their education
through part-time employment provid-
ed by the Student Aid Program of the
National Youth Administration, &C
cording to an announcement today by
Ryland N. Dempster, NYA Admins
traitor for Maryland.
The School Aid fund allotment to
A schools in Worcester County is ST.
72S, an increase of 1902 over last
years fund quota. This will permit
needy students to earn between So
and Sc month while attending school.
Under the NYA College and Grad
uate Aid Program, $145,965 has been
allotted to colleges in the state this
year. This fund quota is based upon
10 percent of the institutions enroll
ment of students between the ages OF
16 and "a inclusive, as of October 1,
1888. Needy undergraduates may
earn from $40 to $50 a month, and
graduate students may earn from $40
to $50 a month, according to the stud
ent's need for cash to meet college ex-
penses.
Students between the ages of 16
and "a inclusive are eligible to apply
for NYA Student Aid assistance, if
they meet entrance requirements and
give evidence of ability to maintain
a satisfactory scholastic record. Their
need for this assistance is determined
by the school and college officials, who
investigate each case and then select
the most needy applicants.
NYA students earn the monthly
payment on part-time jobs which are
planned and supervised by the school
authorities. The work performed by
the NYA student must be useful and
in no way replace any of the regular
employees of the school or college.
The rates of pay are set by each in
stitution in accordance with the pre-
yailing rate for student labor.
During the past school year over
$4,000 young people were enabled to
continue their education in high
schools and colleges in the United
States at an average annual cost of
$3.50. These boys and girls came
from families having an annual aver
age income of $667. Their scholastic
work was above the average.

The Wye Oak is one of the most in

Shore since it is estimated to be about
400 years old. It stands along the
State highway at Wye Mills between

settlers Of Talbot County. The Tree
stands 95 feet high with spread of

symmetrical and with proper care
should live for many years longer.

WORCESTER FARMERS
SHOULD OBSERVE DATES

Farmers of Worcester County this
year are urged to observe safe sowing
dates for wheat in order to avoid Hes
sian Fly damage.
According to r. T. Grant, County
Agent, the safe sowing dates in this

Investigations this past spring have
indicated an increase in this insect
in Maryland and this condition can
be remedied by growers planting after
the middle of October.

CHAPTER VI

A great deal of work can be done in six days time, and Roselee. Christine, Dick and Franklin proved 1t. Mrs. Hogan, too, did her share, or more.
 It was Mrs. Hogan who cleaned out the Grand Central Tonsorial Parlors Ca sign down the street still proclaimed the name, even though party weathered away) and moved the two boys into fairly comfortable living quarters there. She set the girls up in comparatively splendor in the Ace High Hotel, in room near to her own, making Roselee go home first for a real mattress, a mirror. and certain other reflnements of civ- 1lization.
 The six days also were time enough for Franklin to drive to Los Angeles and make some val uable arrangements with travel agencies here. He went to the bus lines, the automobile clubs, and the private tour organizations, even to a railroad. All agreed that Roselee's ghost detour was a capital idea. Most of these agen- cieg began recommending the ghost town without fee, simply to stimulate travel. Chambers of Commerce, hotels, gasoline com- panies, tourists camps and pleas tire resorts all the way from Boulder Dam westward were glad to extend cooperation.

you, Christy2" He asked that in e low semi-confidential tone. Chris tine was a bit surprised by it.. Sitting now on the paint scaffold, she looked up at him.
 Franklin Larraway had been the surprising one of the four young people. That first morning he had appeared full of bubbling fun and wisecracks, but as time had passed he had changed into much more serious-mlnded person. Christine knew the type, Really very shy at heart, he made initial gestures of affability to cover the shyness he felt. She had somehow liked him for 1t. Except for his two-day trip to Los Angeles, she had been with Franklin Larraway almost constant ly, she reflected now. She hadn't quite realized that herself, and sit- ting here on the scaffolding she de- cided that much of 1t hadn't been accidental. Franklin had maneu- vered to be with her constantly and now the thought startled her @ little bit. Especially since he was asking to work with her still more, peition- ing humbly as a child might do.
 "Why Franklin = surely! It's 8 pleasure to work with you" She bit her upper lip. just to be sure he didn't see her smile.
 That's swell!" he murmured, enthusiastically. And listen, Christy we've had to be awful careful about well, about stick ing strictly to work and all. We never see you or Roselee after supper. You either ride over to the ranch, or stay in your hotel room, or"
 we've been pretty tired at night"
 But - when we - we're catching up now. Maybe Saturday - Sum- l day"
 She laughed happily then. Sure, we can relax by Saturday. Rose- lees having all of us at her ranch home that night for dinner. Dick k's already asked to escort mel"
 Franklin kept looking down at her. He swallowed, slowly, gaz- ing into Christine's deep dark eyes. You you like old Dick don't you Christy2" he asked.
 She nodded and said, "Of course" But her eyes had quick telltale mistiness in them, and there was @ new confusion in her mind.
 She reached for her paint brush and without another word both of them resumed their work. Nor did they talk again for a long half hour. Neither was in the mood. Each knew that something besides business was creeping into the personnel of the ghost town managers. Franklin felt, with al- most devastating gloom, that something had suddenly snatched away every chance he had for happiness in this mortal life
