The weatherman will also tell
you that Imperial county is the
sunshiniest spot I'm the nation.
In 1898 there were 294 clear days.
81 days that the sun peeped from

Some years, such as 1898, the
sun bats at an even higher aver
age. In that year there were BAT
clear days, IL partly cloudy and
only six cloudy.
Rainfall is light, and in many
years less than an inch of precipi-
tation is recorded. The weather.
man reported liz inches for 1898.
Wind velocity averages less than
5 miles per hour in most years.
In 1888 the average was 48.

up with the positions they wish to
play.
Coach Neubauer wanted enough to
make up two teams plus some substi-
tutes. That seems an impossibility
as ambition and school spirit are very
much lacking in the girls Of Pocomoke
High. Out of 100 girls in the high
school rs cannot be induced to play
field ball. There is usually large
percentage of the freshmen who wish
to participate in fieldball but out Of
the freshmen this year there is but one
person signed up.
What's the matter with the girls
of P. H. s.? Are they just lazy or
are there other reasons why there are
not enough for two teams?
The first game Of the season was
played with Buckingham High School
at Berlin. Everyone seemed to be on
their toes when the whistle blew for
the game to begin. Although POGO
moke girls were playing hard, they
were not able to check the opposing
team and A points were scored in Ber-
Inns favor in the first quarter. Quite
few of Pocomoke's plays starting
from center were carried down the
field uninterrupted until within few
yards of the goal when, by some
means, Berlin managed to break up
the play and carry the ball toward
Pocomoke's goal.
In the second half, Pocomoke play
ed hard and their passes were bet
ter, but much to their sorrow, Berlin
stacked up IL points and Pocomoke
failed to score during the entire game.
However, with more practice and
practice game before this first county
game, Pocomoke would have had
better chance. Much improvement is

WARD WEEK BEGAN
WEDNESDAY, OCT. IS

G. r. Eicher, manager Of the Mont
gomery Ward store, announced today
that he was adding to the stores SELL
ing force in preparation for the Ward
Week sale, which began on Wednes-
day, October 18th.
"Ward Week is our biggest sale
every year." Mr.. Eicher commented,
land business in Pocomoke has been
so good during the past few months
that we are looking forward to our
greatest Ward Week yeti In fact,
we're expecting such crowds Of shop
pers that we are putting on extra
sales people, to provide the best pos
sible service for our customers"
Ward Week is semi-annual event
in which Montgomery Ward stores all
over the country participate. Ward
store managers plan months ahead,
and then cooperate in buying and ship
ping the merchandise from factories.
This mass buying enables the stores
to effect economies that are reflected
in lower prices.
