In LOG. CABIN
Stages Informal, Ladies' Night
InGThe Municipal Park At
-. Winter Quarter
ABOUT, EIGHTY-FOUR ARE
IN ATTENDANCE MONDAY

The Pocomoke Rotarians staged a
sort of informal ladies' night on Mon
day evening last and, for change,
assembled in the log cabin in the
Municipal Park, down at Winter Quar-
ter; over 80 were present including
visitors and Rotary AIMS. The ladies
Of the Presbyterian Church were in
charge of the supper and served it in
their usual satisfactory manner.
The meeting was intended as an
emphasis on the outgoing president,
R. Harlan Robertson, and to the in
coming presiding officer, B. Fuller
Walters, and a very enjoyable pro-
gram had been prepared, consisting
of vocal music, tap dancing. and an
assortment of. renditions furnished by
rhythm band under the direction
of Miss Mamie Byrd, of the Temper
anceville public school. This band
included the tap dancers, Misses Vir-
ginia and Jean Fisher, led by little
Miss of about 8 or 9 years, they en-
tertained the audience with IL num-
bers, including solos, duets, and con-
cert pieces.
Miss Edna Parsons and Lois Red
den gave two duets in harmonious
manner, and a visitor, Mr.. Herman
Cook treated the company with two
well-received solos, besides leading
the audience in concert singing. Mr..
Cook is associated with the General
Motors Corporation and is now here
with the Duncan Brothers.
The Rhythm band was treated to a
wiener roast after the. meeting, and
this the kids enjoyed to the limit.
These little folkilooked quite natty
in their uniforms of white and GER
tainly gave very fine account of
themselves, notwithstanding the fact
that their school had been closed for
over a month";, and Miss Byrd made the
unnecessary apology for them to the
effect that they might be out of prac-
tice.
The following were among the visi-
tors present: Mr.. and Mrs. E. E. Mat
thews, Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Mears,
Mr.. and Mrs. Lynwood Duncan, Mr..

F. DUER MEARS
LOSES LIFE in
PLANE CRASH
Machine Fails To Rise From
Power Dive, Crashes Into
Sand Near TT. Lauderdale
ARRANGEMENT FOR THE
FUNERAL NOT COMPLETED

The funeral of Cadet Francis Duer
Mears will be held on Saturday (tO-
morrow from St. Mary's Episcopal
Church, at IL o'clock in the morning.
Interment in the Church cemetery.
This entire community was, indeed,
shocked on Monday, when the tragic
death of young F. Duer Mears was
wired to his parents here; and the
effect on the people in general did
not measure, of course, up to the stun
ming blow inflicted on his parents,
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry c. Mears.
Details of his death are not avail
able at this writing except such as ap-
peared in meagre way in the public
press. However, while such events
carry with them world Of woe, still
the actual happenings are indeed few,
and seconds, at times, will cover a
terrible disaster.
AS far as could be learned, the avia-
tor, as required by the rules of the
training, went into a power dive from
which the plane refused to rise. The
consequence was head-on plunge to
earth. A "power dive" is explained
as one made straight down, while the
motor is wide open. Other dives are
made with the motor cut off. "Duer''
went to his death, and with him, Wal
ter Ledford, of Tennessee, first class
seaman, of the U. S. Navy. The plane
was flying over Fort Lauderdale.
Fla, and was about 5000 feet up.
Young Mears was the only child of
his parents. He was a graduate of
the Pocomoke City high school and
also of the Randolph Macon Military

AT SOC MARKET ST.

The marriage of Miss Mary Eliza
beth Walters, daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. William H. Walters, Jr., of this
city, and Mr.. Mark Curtis Callahan,
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Mark c. Callahan,
also of this city, took place Sunday
afternoon at one-thirty o'clock in the
Presbyterian Church. The ceremony
was performed by the Rev. Robert
Barr Stewart in the presence of men,
bers of the two families and few in
innate friends.
The bride, who was given in mar
riage by her father, wore a blue silk
travelling suit with white accessories
and shoulder corsage of gardenias,
red rosebuds and baby's breath.
Mrs. Carson Ward, of Milford, Del,
sister of the bride was matron of
honor and Mr.. Ward acted as best
man. The wedding marches were play
ed by Mrs. A. j. Clay.
Immediately after the ceremony,
Mr.. and Mrs. Callahan left for a hon
eymoon trip which will include tour
through Washington, over the Skyline
Drive and a short stay at Virginia
Beach. Upon their return they will
take up their residence at 806 Market
Street.
The bride and groom are popular
members of the younger set here and
are both graduates of the Pocomoke
High School, class of '38. The groom
holds a position with Wharton and
Barnard of this city.

YANKEE PLAYER
EQUALS RECORD OF
WILLIE keller
Has Hit Safely In The Last
FOrty-FOur Games And Is
Out Now To Set Record

Base ball fans in this vicinity have
been watching with a great deal of
interest the effort of Joe DiMaggio,
centerfielder of the New York Yam
KEGS, to equal or surpass the achieve
ment of Wee Willie Keller in the mat
ter of making base hits in consecu-
tive games.
The player of long ago, Keller,
played A games in 1897 without fail
ing to hit. On Tuesday DiMaggio
equalled this in a double header with
Boston, both games being won by the
Yanks who are now leading the Amer
lean League.
The first game was played in ter
rifle heat, which called for frequent
changes Of pitchers, but the weather
altered suddenly at the start of the
second, and by the time the Yankees
had finished batting in the fifth in
ming, the field was so dark the UNI
pires were forced to call time. Only a
light shower fell, but when the I'M
natural darkness continued for a half

OLD INSTITUTE
AT DOVER, DEL,
OPENS in 1912
Formerly Known AS Wilmington
Conference Academy, Now
Wesley Collegiate Institute
DIR. w. E. GUNBY is
CHAIRMAN OF DIRECTORS

The board of trustees of the Wes-
ley Collegiate Institute convened in
it's annual meeting on Tuesday of
last week in the school building at
Dover. Bishop Adna Wright Leon
ard was present at both the morning
and afternoon sessions. Nearly all
of the thirty-four trustees answered
the roll call. DR.. w. E. Gunby called
the meeting to order and presided.
Hon. N. II. Nuttle, secretary-treas-
urer, reported on the status of the
trust funds, and the amount Of avail
able cash in hand. The report was
heartening. The endowment rode thru
the depression in a very remarkable
manner. DR.. John ]. Bunting, pro-
motional director of education, sub
mitted a detailed report of his activi-
, ties for the past month. He also re-
vealed by charts the rapid growth of
junior colleges during the last twen-
ty years, and also explained the re-
quirements which a college must
meet in order to receive accreditation.
Certain promising recommendations
were advanced by the director.
Bishop Leonard delivered history
making speech. He is president of
the board of education of, the Metho-
dist Church. Therefore, is in better
position than any person to discuss
educational matters. The trustees
were informed as to the latest devel-
opments in college life, growth and
administration. The bishop evolved a
plan by which every agency of the
Peninsula Conference, lay and minis
terial, could work together to open
this school as an accredited Junior
college. He advised that the building
be cleaned and repaired and brought
up-to-date, and new furniture replace
the old; that a schoolman be employ
ed at the beginning Of the year 1912
to build faculty and curriculum; and
that the school, as a junior college,
be put into operation September,
1912. He indicated that the material
and financial needs may be met by
Cooperative agreement, with the peo-
pie of Dover, and through individual
donations yof equipment, and brief
campaign for $4,000. His address
was received with enthusiasm.
The afternoon session was spent in
following up the Recommendations of
Bishop Leonard. It was unanimous
ly agreed that the college SHOULD open
it's doors September, 1912, and action
was taken to that effect. An exper-

Democrat Office Is
Entirely To Blame

"The Democrat" made note
last week of a bundle of papers
which was mistakenly "sent"

belonged. 500.
There seems to have arisen
some dissatisfaction concerning

OUTBREAK OF
BEAN BLIGHT IS,
in APPEARANCE
No Known Spray Or Dust That
Will Control Bean Blight
When It Has Appeared

A severe outbreak of bacterial
blight of beans occurred this year In
Wicomico and Worcester counties on
the Eastern Shore of Maryland, ac-
cording to Carroll E. Cox, assistant
in plant pathology at the University
of Maryland.
Snap beans; especially the variety
Bountiful, were more severely affect
ed than lima beans, he says, and some
fields were so severely blighted that
they were plowed under after only
one picking.
Mr.. Cox says that the blight is
caused by bacterium which is car
ried in the seed and multiplies and
spreads rapidly when weather condi-
tons are favorable for its develop
ment. He describes favorable condi-
tons as Several days of humid, rainy
weather" Such conditions existed for
about week before the blight appear
ed in the counties where it is most
severe. 4
There is no known spray or dust,
or other treatment, that will control
bean blight when it has appeared, Mr..
Cox states, but the disease can be al
most completely avoided by using dis
ease-free seed. Certain of the West
ern states, especially Idaho, he says,
produce bean seed that is practically
free from bacterial blight, as well as
other diseases.
While weather conditions in certain
years are, such that blight does not
develop and crop may be produced
even though some disease is present
in the seed, losses are so severe when
blight does occur, Mr.. Cox says, that
it does not pay the grower to take
a chance with any but the best seed.
He advises growers to find out from
their dealers at the time they pur-
chase seed where it was produced, so
as to be sure of getting seed that is
practically free from disease. Such
seed will probably cost somewhat
more than ordinary bean seed, he says,
but the increased cost will be offset
in the long run by avoiding losses
from bcterial blight.
