Ringing Circus Is Announced

Official information confirms
the announcement that on Satur-
day, May Is, Ringling Brothers
will give two performances in Will
mington.
Many new features have been
added this year, the most notable
of which is the spectacles Solo
mon and the Queen of Sheba." "
This colossal production is pre-
sented with a cast of 1,250 people,
a ballet of 800 dancing girls, 735
horses, and a trainload of seen
cry, costumes and properties on
the biggest stage in the world.
Following the spectacle, a cir
Gus program of unusual brilliancy
will be presented, including an ar
ray Of foreign and American acts
new to the circus world. The
menagerie contains 1908 wild ami
mails, Al elephants, and a baby
ZOO" The circus is transported
on 80 double length cars. Special
arrangements have been made by
the railroads to accommodate the
crowds that will visit the circus

last year was greater than for the
past five years. The Department
of Agriculture estimated short
time ago, believe, that more than
half the total marketable supply
of potatoes of the 1914 crop re-
mained in the hands of producers
on the first of this year, which is
a large amount than that held on
the first of last year. This would
indicate that the potato growers
are looking forward, as are the
growers of all other staple crops,
to the possible big demand abroad
and higher prices for their pro-
duct. 1t is estimated that the pro-
duction of potatoes last year ex-
ceeded that of the year before by
almost $5O,O0O,000 bushels.
"Ordinarily there are few pota-
toes sent abroad, but, with the
European nations at war, it is
more than probable hundreds of
thousands of bushels of American
potatoes will find their way there
this year, particularly if the war
should end"

Bumper Potato Crop

while Germany is taking every

supply of potatoes in that coun-
try, even to the extent of killing
off the hogs, if reports are to be

largest potato crops we ever have

"is d social power equal to ninety

We have here, | think, an explain
alton Of the potent influence of
Charles c. Stockley, for a long
series Of years, in the politics of
his State. Strength of conviction
and the courage of it, have been
through life his leading charac-
teriStic. Sincerity, a virtue, we
are told, rare with politicians, will
be conceded to him by political
friend and foe. He has givens
sturdy blows but meyer stealthy
one. Appointed County Treasur-
er in 1852, elected Sheriff of his
county in 1856, State Senator in
1873, Speaker for two years after
governor in 1882, and appointed
Registrar of Wills for Sussex in
1891. He has received many
honOrS from his State and party,
and to State and party he has
given faithful service. And he has
been true to old Sussex. Her pub
lie schools, her railroads, and all
that makes for progress and en-
lightenment, have found in him a
Steadfast friend. Governor Stock
ley was born in Sussex county

In The Spring

I'm the spring a young mans
fancy lightly turns to thought
of love-"
Long ago a thoughtful poet pen
ned the lines you see above.
Such were young men of his era,
but time wondrous changes
brings
And today young mans fancy
lightly turns to many things.
There are motoring and baseball,
there is dancing, there is dress.
He devotes a deal of thinking to
these things, we must confess
There have been a lot of changes
with the gay successive springs,
And today a young mans fancy
lightly turns to many things.

Death OF F. w. Seward

Frederick w. Seward, assistant
secretary of state in the cabinets
of President Lincoln, Johnson,
and Hayes, and son of the late
secretary of state William H.
Seward, died at his home in Mont
rose, New York, last Sunday, aged
S5 years. He is survived by a
widow, and one brother, General
William H. Seward, of Auburn.
Mr.. Seward was closely asso-
ciated with some of the gravest
events in the nations history. It
was he who was sent on that men,
orable mission from Washington
to Philadelphia to warn President
Lincoln that his life was in dam
ger if he followed his itinerary in
Baltimore. Four years later he
figured in another stirring inciI
dent after the assassination of
Lincoln.
He was at his fathers bedside
when Payne, one of Booths ac-
completes, pretending to be mes
senger with medicine for Secre-
tary Seward, suddenly drew a
navy revolver and beat back Fred
erick Seward into unconscious,
ness. Then, dashing into the sick
room, Payne slashed Secretary
Seward many time. Both Stewards
eventually recovered. Later Payne
was captured and executed with
others involved in the plot.
Frederick Seward was born in
Auburn and was closely associat-
ed with his father in all the lat
ter's public activities.

The securing of this exclusive right TO sell

PHONE SYSTEM
FOR BUILDINGS

The advisability of having automatic
telephones installed in all the school
buildings of Richmond may again this
year be given consideration by the
board of education. Annually the sub
ject is discussed by the school board
but always heretofore the expense has
been thought too great to permit of
the rental of the phones. Superin-
tendent J. T. Giles of the city schools
declared this morning that he would
be glad to see each building have the
use of a telephone but believed the
school board would not favor the in
stallation unless reduction is made in
the rate.
Because Of rulings handed by the
state industrial commission, w. NJ.
Bailey, manager of the Home Tele-
phone company, said that in the event
the board took up the subject again.
he could not do better than reiterate
the proposition he made the members
in November, 1913.
He proposed at that time to install
a private branch exchange, terminal
ing at the high school building with
trunk connection with the main ex-
change. For two phones in the West
Side buildings. the rate would be SIS
per annum and the rate for all the
others would be SIS per annum. The
installation of straight line phones
would cost $50 per annum.

CLERKS OF SMALL TOWNS
CAN NOT. CALL ELECTIONS

1t may be necessary for the Off
cials of all the incorporated towns in
the county to retain their offices un-
til 1917 in spite of the fact that the
regular election is scheduled to be
held in 1916 Attorney General Mil
burn has expressed the opinion that
the law passed by the last legislature
referring to elections in towns, is de-
fective in that there is no date set for
the election.
There are eleven towns in Wayne
county and il the law is found to be
defective. the officials may get 20
serve until the legislature meets in
1917. The following towns would be
affected if the attorney generals rul-
ing is final: Cambridge City, Hagers-
town, Dublin, East Germantown. Foun-
tain City, Greensboro, Milton, Mount
Auburn, Spring Grove and White
water.
Mistake Discovered.
Investigation has uncovered an ap-
parent mistake in an amendment tc
an act Of 1909 made by the legislature
of 1911. Validity of the election
nf 1918 Is questionable and the finan-

counties in the state to prove this and
that the attorney generals ruling will

turn is an amended act of 1905, is de-
ficient in that it does not specify any

ficials. In an attempt to remedy 4
typographical error in the amendment
of 1909, part of a section was left out
of the original act, thereby eliminating
any reference in the law to the time
for an election.
There will be no registration of vot-
ers in 1916, as it would be an off
year." and elections will be held only
in the towns. Because of the large
number of incorporated towns in
Wayne county. any ruling made by the
attorney general will have an import
ant affect here.
