VAIN SEARCH FOR
MISSING CHESTER LAD

So far all efforts to locate Albert
Wallace Briner, the young man who
mysteriously left his home. in Ches-
ter, several days ago, have failed, and
in spite of the fact that word has
been sent to nearby cities. Particu-
lar attention has been given to Phil
adelphia, as he was in that city for
awhile. and it is possible he is in
hiding there, although some intimate
foul play Little confidence is placed
in this latter theory. as the boy is
not know to have any money on his
person when he disappeared from his
home.
Albert left home, on June %. after
starting for school. and since that
time nothing has been heard from
him. He may have entered the navy,
as he is said to have often expressed
a desire to serve his country I'm that
capacity. The police of this city have
been looking for him.

SUNSHINE PRIZES
FOR SCHOOL PUPILS
Nine Children are Rewarded
for Their Interest in Good
Cheer Work

It is not generally known in Will
mington, that the nine most sun
shiny" children in four of the schools
received prizes this June. The idea
was proposed at the 1909 Convention
of the International Sunshine Society.
Mrs. Charles E. White and Mrs. Bertha
Richardson, who were present from
Wilmington as delegates from the.
Sunflower Branch, recommended the
idea to that branch. Upon consultation
with Prof. A. II. Berlin, Schools No.
2, No 9, No. Is, and No. II, we're
chosen, and I'm each, two prizes were
Cffered-a first prize of a $3.50 gold
piece. and a second prize of a gold
and white Sunshine Society badge pin.
The prizes were won by the follow
ing children:
No. 2 School. first prize, Ellwood
Crossgrove; second prize, Clara VIII
liams.
No. 9 School. first prize. Mary Nc
Caull, second prize, Ruth Ocheltree.
No. IS School, first prize. Sherman
Bristow; second prize, Ethel Clegg
No. II School, first prize. Clifford
Spence; second prize, Annie Hudson
and Milton Smith.
The "sunshinyness" was decided by
their school mates, politeness being
given frequently as a reason for the
vote
The Sunhower Branch are pioneers
in the movement. and their letter on
the subject, written by the secretary,
Miss Mary Jones, was made the theme
of the President-General. Mrs. Gym
thia Westover Alden's address at the
international convention in New
Haven, Conn. this summer. They we're
congratulated by the International So
ciety.
The Sunflower Branch will repeat
the prizes next year. and may increase

Hope 10 Finish Construction Before
Ice Goes

Work on the bridge at Hinckley was
started forward again last week. About
half of the steel has already arrived
and one section of the false work Is In
place so that steel can be put In place.
Fifteen carloads of steel will be nee
essary to span the river, and nearly
as many loads of wood for the false
work are to come. The foundation
of the false work Is set upon the river
bottom and not upon the ice,' but the
work must be completed before the
spring freshets to avoid danger OF
great damage and loss. With all the
steel in place so that the false work
may be removed before the ice goes
out, 1t will not take many days to
complete the bridge.

Edward Payson Weston, walking
across the continent celebrated his 70
birthday by walking seventy-two
miles. Just sit down and think what
this means in the way of courage and
endurance. Did you ever walk sew.
enty two miles-on any birthday?
Few of us could do it, and still fewer
want to try it.
1t Is remarkable that this. old man
trained pedestrian though he has been,
all his life, should be able to perform
a feat SO extraordinary, but it is still
more noteworthy as significant of the
old mans attitude toward life. Yves.
ton is living it out right to the finish
That is the thing that counts. That
is the meature of his career that is
most worth considering. Old age is
too often a giving up before it is nee
essary-an abandonment of the BODY
before the body is ready to abandon
us. A fat refusal to be old is more
potent than Metchinkof's sour milk
The fountain Of youth lies in our wills
