MANY RECRUITS TO
MAN HIS Ships
Newspapers Of Maryland Asked
To Help Speed Up
EnliStmentS

"Uncle Sam" needs recruits for the
Navy and the newspapers of Mary
land have been called in an effort to
speed up the enlisments.
County newspaper editors and rep
resentatives of the Navy Recruiting
Department met at the Emerson Ho-
tel yesterday to start campaign for
more recruits from the rural areas.
The success of the venture seemed
certain when a good omen appeared
in the person of Henry Croker, as
sociate editor of the Bel Air Aegis.
Mr.. Croker had signed up for the
Navy Air Corps.
The navy adopted its advertising
policy last June, and since that time

Sara Delano Roosevelt, mother of
the only three-term President of the

Park, N. Y, on Tuesday last, in the
peaceful churchyard of St. James
Episcopal Church where generations
of Roosevelts have worshipped.
At the foot of her grave stood
Franklin Delano Roosevelt with bow
ed head and downcast eyes, his face
illuminated by ray from the sun
which trickled through the ancient
churchyard trees, as his mothers
body was lowered to eternal rest.
He was not there as President of
the United States but as a son paying
his last tribute to his mother. The

Smith, under the name of the West
ern Auto Associate Store.
For two years, Mr.. Smith has sue
cessfully carried on his business, but
is now compelled to remove from the
Peninsula, due to the fact that the
climate here is injurious to his
health. He likes this locality, but
finds his physical condition shows
much deterioration. Under advice, he
reluctantly removes. Just where he
will make his home, he has not de-
cided; he will take a vacation and
seek such a climate as will add to
his health and strength.
Mr.. Smith has sold his stock to
Mr.. Howard w. Covington, formerly
of Onancock, Va, and connected with
"The News" of that place. Mr.. Gov
ington is recovering from a rather
protracted illness, requiring several
operations. But he feels his strength
is fast returning, and he will soon be
his normal self. He will continue as
Vice-President of "The News"

Mrs. 7. J. Covington, who reside near
Pocomoke City, in Somerset. Mr..
Covington is, at present, connected
with the Democrat" Mr.. Howard

tanning some information concerning
the business. He and his family will
reside in Pocomoke.

DROWNING IS
REMINDER OF
BELOTE EVENT
Youngster Falls Into Gravel
Pit And Is Resusciated By
Fred u. Henderson

The distressing accident, by which
Layman Bailey, Jr., of Westover, was
drowned in a gravel pit located just
outside the corporate limits of POGO
moke recalls an event which occurred
at the same place, sixteen years ago,
but which, fortunately, did not re-
suit fatally.
"The Democrat" published the fol-
lowing account Of the affair, giving
credit to Mr.. Fred u. Henderson for
saving the life of the boy. It makes
rather interesting reading at this
time. It might be said that Mr.. Hen
derson did splendid work in the case
of electrocution last week, but with
out avail.
The article on the Belote boy was
as follows:
Merrill Belote, thirteen-year-old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. w. T. Belote, liv-
ing just outside this city's limits,
made an extremely narrow escape
from drowning on Monday last, he be-
ing saved by the brave, prompt, and
splendid service of Fred Henderson
and Dan Morse, two Pocomoke boys.
Young Belote had gone to the yard

GOOD REPORTS
EMANATE FROM
The HOSPITAL
Concerning Condition Of Mr..
Earl Tarr Who Was Carried
To Baltimore This Week

Word has come from the Marine
Hospital in Baltimore, where Mr.. Earl
Tarr was carried this week, that the
physicians are still investigating his
case, and will continue to do so for
some time.
At present Mr.. Tarr's indisposition
is thought to be the result of very
high blood pressure, which will, of
course, require treatment to reduce in
time. While it will take some months,
probably, for any very noticeable i'm
provement, the opinion seems to be
that Mr.. Tarr's age is greatly in his
favor, and it is not too much to expect
that he will, in time, reach permanent
recovery.
Mr.. Tarr has been connected, for
some years, with the rural postal de-
livery, and is we'll known and highly
esteemed in this vicinity. Last week
he was stricken with what seemed to
be a form of paralysis affecting his
left side. He, as stated above, was
taken to the Marine Hospital in Bal
timore, where his many friends are
hoping he will respond to treatment
and will soon return home restored
to health and strength.

1ST POTATO INSPECTION
WAS MADE This WEEK

First inspection for potato seed
certification was made this week by
DIR. r. A. Jehle, State Plant Patholo-
gist and County Agent r. T. Grant.
Due to the dry weather leaf roll and
Mosaic are very difficult to detect.
there are probably more
plants in the field than can
be recognized at the present time.
The second inspection will be made
during the week of September 22nd
and all potato growers are advised
to rogue their fields for Mosaic and
Leaf Roll, which can probably be
more easily recognized next week.

Bowling, Not
Music Worries
JOe'sManagers
BY SID FEEDER

OST. LOUIS, April t. w -
You'll never believe this, but
Joe Louis takes on squat Tony
Music in the arena tomorrow
night-and Joe's managers are
worried.
Only its neither Music nor
the fight they're worried about.
It's just how much effect
b owling, the heavyweight
champs latest "playtoy," will
have on his ability TO pitch his
high, hard one In the ring.
As for Music sir, up to
yesterday John Roxborough, one
Of the bomber's co-pilots, had
never seen the stump slugger.
For that matter, Joe hasn't
known him very long. Naturally
this doesn't make much differ
ence TO Louis. They all look
alike 70 him-two hands, two
eyes and . nose.
But this bowling-now that's
. "horse from Z different gar
ant" The alley game follows Q
long line Of relaxations--all the
way from golf to showing horses
which has attracted Joe's at
tention and enabled him to get
little exercise.
Up to now, no one cared how
badly he beat the little golf ball,
but Roxborough Il frankly skep-
tical about taking on ten-pins.
It's not because he's afraid Joe'll
let fly with the big ball some
night and commit mayhem on
the the pin boy.
But" he explained, "You use
. completely different get of
muscles bowling than you do
fishting. And rolling Il bowling
ball underhand may effect Joe's
overland punching power. II
makes the shoulder move alto
gether differently and we're
thinking It might have an effect
"a dragon those muscles"
