ported from producing areas. This
is the died meat of the fruit. Coco
nut husks and shells are used as fuel.
Dessicated coconut is we'll known,
sold fresh or in small packages to be
used in confectionery. The coconut
has so much oil that it soon becomes
rancid. The great leaves are used
for thatching homes, roofs and sides;
the trunks for uprights, the fiber of
the trunk for padding garments.
During 1912 over 10000 tons were
exported from the Philippines. Since
then the amount has more than
doubled.
With increased production,
problem has arisen in the spread
of insect pests. Today they have
increased to alarming degree
weevils, moths, butterflies and in
sects of other groups. Leave it to
them to bring heartache to the
grower!

COLLIE MILLER MAKING
GOOD in HONOLULU

Collie Miller, well known in POGO
moke athletic circles, seems to be
making good as a ball player in
Honolulu, where he is one of Uncle
Sans army boys.
Collie is captain of the Redland's
team, and clipping from paper
in that section names him as the
Gail Schofield outfielder from the
9th Infantry and winner of the
Honolulu Advertiser-Red Dust trophy
for most home runs; the Honolulu
Sporting Goods trophy for most ex-
ira base hits; and the Schofield
scorers trophy for most runs batted
in" This is quite a record, and
shows Collie knows how to WELD the
willow.
News has also come that Collie has
been promoted to Sergeantship,
which indicates that he is doing
something else besides playing ball,
and is also making good in the bust
ness of soldering. He has many
friends in this vicinity, who are glad
to receive such good account of his
career in the far-off station.

of the evening was Mr.. A. Percy
White, of Salisbury, who chose as his
subject Personality" He paid a
tribute to International Rotarianism,
characterizing it as the most in
fluential in this country. He based
his assertion on the fact that it's
members were chosen because of lead
ership in their various activities, and
personality is very strong factor
in leadership.
Speeches were also made by the
presidents of the three clubs repres-
ented: C. M. Baughan, Princess
Anne; Charles Briddell, Crisfield;

RENT-TEACHERS ASSOC.
met In HIGH SCHOOL

The Parent Teachers Association
met in the music room of the high
school building on Thursday evening,
January 9. At this meeting men,
bers were given an opportunity to
discuss various problems of theirs
as parents and teachers of Sabotage
children. The questions and ans
wers were numerous and interesting.
Mrs. Krabill, chairman of the Pro-
gram Committee, led the discussion
and talked to the group about EN-
joying Our Children" She brought
out the point, borrowed from a book
read recently, that we should think
of our children as the gardener
thinks of his plants, not as the pot
ter with his clay. At the conclusion
of the program, a memory-testing
game was played and enjoyed by all.
The award for attendance again
went to the children in Miss Ches-
ser's room, since larger percentage
of the parents of these children were
present than of the children in other
rooms.

in RESORTS BRIDGE

Ocean City's link with the main

a barge moored in the harbor broke
loose and crashed into the bridge,
damaging the piling and part of the

CHANGES MADE
in POCOMOKE
BALL TEAM
Ehlers Goes To The Interstate
League; And Herring Has
Connected With Pirates
OWNER EDDINGTON is
SEEKING A PURCHASER

The Pocomoke City base ball club,
of the Eastern Shore League will see
new faces in it's managerial depart
ment as we'll as on the diamond. Mr..
Arthur Ehlers, general manager for
both the locals and Reading, of the
Interstate League, both owned last
season by J. r. Eddington, of Fed
eralsburg, will be associated with
the Interstate League as Executive
Vice-President, Secretary and Treas
urer; Mr.. Fred Herring will go to the
London Club, a Pittsburgh pirate
farm; and J. R. Eddington, owner,
will sell the Pocomoke franchise, if
he can find profitable customer.
Mr.. Hering's resignation came as a
surprise to Mr.. Eddington; no reas-
on was assigned for his move.
A resident of Washington, D. c.,
Herring formerly acted as part-time
scout of the Washington Senators,
was general manager of their farm
club at st. Augustine, Fla, and
later became owner of that outfit in
1889 before joining the Chicks.
The departure of Herring leaves the
Chicks minus both a field and office
manager, but in the event Eddington
decides to retain the club he has a
good start in the playing end, al
though he received a tough blow
when Gene Hermanski was declared q
free agent.
Hermanski, young outfielder, was
freed by Judge William G. Bramham
because, in signing with the FEEDER.
alsburg AS in 1889, the pact failet
to carry his parents signature. Her
manski was minor of 10 at the
time. He has received offers from

ton Red Sox. During the last cam
paign he batted 302.

RAILROAD WINS
SUIT BROUGHT
BY MINISTER
Former POcOmOke Pastor Loses
In His Suit To Obtain $780,
900 Damages Year Ago

After a two-day trial, verdict il
favor of the Pennsylvania Railroad
defendant in a $4,000 damage suit
brought by the Rev. Lawrence E
Wimbrow, Tuesday was entered OF
the records of the United States Dis.
trict Court.
The jury which heard the case un-
der Judge William C. Coleman DELHI
Grated for more than an hour before
reaching the verdict against the cler-
gyman, who is pastor of the First
Methodist Church at Denton, Md.
The clergyman claimed that he suf-
fered a fractured vertebra and frac-
tured ankle last January 20, when
his automobile struck a fifteen-car
freight train that was shifting cars
at siding on a highway near Clay
ton, Del. The clergyman, with sew
eral young women from his congre-
cation, were returning to Denton
from church meetings at Whining
ton.
The railroad argued that the acct
dent was due to the contributary
of the plaintiff. The rail-
road company was represented by O.
Bowie Duckett, Jr., Edward E. Har-
gest, and G. Ebert Marshall, at
torneys.
The plaintiff, Rev. Mr.. Wimbrow,

UNCLE RAYS CORNER

II you were asked to name the
country which owns the Panama
Canal, what would you reply?
Many persons-perhaps most
might say the United States, but
that answer would not be quite right.
The owner Of the canal is the Re-
public Of Panama. The United
States rents 1t.
The lease Of the United States can
last "for all time" and that is al
most the same as owning it. Yet
the United States only leases it,
paying Panama $3.50 600 per year
from 1918 onward.
That sum may not seem very large
Ia these times, when millions of dol
lars are being spent each hour of
the day. To the little republic in
the torrid zone. however, a quarter
OF million dollars q year is vel
come rent.
Panama may be called little"
when we compare it with most coun-
tries of Latin America. On the
other hand, it is not just a tiny
corner of the world. 1t contains
more land than Holland and Bel
giunn put together.
Panama used to be part Of Co.
lcmbia, but in 1903 was declared
q free republic. Since then it has
chosen its own lawmakers, but has
been guided and helped in more
than one way by the United States.
The American Government feels the
