.HYPOCR|TES SENSATION
 AT ARIZONA THEA1ER

At the Arizona theater The Hypocrites" has repeated the sensa- tional success it scored when first shown here some months ago. It filled the theater to overflowing last night and a second view was even more impressive than the first. As everybody knows "Hypocrites" is an aHegory in which Truth" stalks naked and unashamed, working won ders and opening the eyes of the people The photography is superb and some of the effects are remark able. The story is well told and of great interest and it's effect on the people very marked.
 It is playing in Phoenix for the first time at regular prices and Will be shown for the last time at the Arizona this evening It is a picture which is more than worth seeing and one which almost certainly will not be shown here again.

Twelve Companies
In State Militia

Efforts to have the Organized
Militia of Delaware increased to
twelve companies, making a full
strength regiment in place of the
two provisional battalions, will be
made, according to reports in mil
itary circles.
At the present time the Organ
lied Militia of Delaware consists
of two provisional battalions of
four companies each, comprising
about 450 men. The War Depart
ment regulations provide that the
state troops shall comprise a regi-
ment of twelve companies.
The necessity of increasing the
number of companies and the num-
ber of men in the regiment has
been impressed on the officers OF
the Militia by War Department of
| ficials, but efforts to authorize the
increase in the number of compan
les have failed. 1t is believed the
required number of men could eas
ily be secured.

ing and discussion of prices on
fertilizers for fall delivery, Pro-
fessor A. E. Grantham of the State
Experiment Station gave a talk on

results and are planting larger
acreage this season.
With proper preparation of the
soil, Prof. Grantham says the crop
can be grown here. The few local
plots in this section have been a
success. Farmers would do well
to try out a small planting.

BOARD INVESTIGATES CON-
MERCIAL WORK

The Newark Board of Education
has been considering for some
time the propriety of discontinue
ing the Commercial Course as a
department of the course of study
IN the high school. They have
sought all the information thew
could obtain and have given due
consideration to all objections
and investigated the cost and
value of the course. At meeting
on Thursday night the Board de-
clded to continue the course, bas-
ing their decision on the follow
ing considerations:
|. AS to the cost of the depart
ment, the salary of the teacher is
500 and the cost of books and
supplies about $5S. The typewrit-
ers cost S1.66 2-3 year a piece or
Sl6.66. The Board has contract
, with the typewriter company by
: which it places the needed ma
chimes in the school and keeps
= them in good order for three years
= when the company agrees to take
!. the machines back and replace
e them with new up-to-date ma
n chimes of the latest pattern for the
e sum Of $500 each. Thus the only
cost for the machines is 81 Sc 2-3
each a year. This makes the cost
of the commercial department

y slderation that this is a depart

- and new teacher would be re-
~ ~ quired and the cost would be

Fire Destroys
Main Street Store
ADJOINING PROPERTIES
THREATENED

A serious fire threatened last
Saturday morning, when the store
building on Main street belonging
to Mrs. Harry Campbell, and occu-
pied by Joseph Berger, was COM
platelv gutted by flames. The
building stood in the center of a
closely built block of frame struc-
lures, and only the prompt action
of the local fire company prevent
ed more serious consequences.
The fire started in the back room
Of the store used by Joseph Ber-
ger as cleaning establishment
and general store. Berger, who
discovered the fire first tried to
nut it out himself, using small
hand extinguisher. After finding
his efforts fruitless the alarm was
sounded and the local company re-
sponded promptly.
In the Berger store the entire
stock. valued at about $500, was
lost. In addition many local peo-
ple losts suits, hats and shoes
which had been left there fol-
cleaning and repairs. The prop
ertv was badly burnt, and damag
ed to the extent of $500. Stock II
the store of Representative Johr
F. Richards which adjoins the
burned building, was damaged tt
the estimated extent of S25OO. Thl'
loss is covered by insurance.

height the man became craze
with excitement, and two me-
were required to keep him out o
the burning building. The stoc
was not insured.

GEN. DUPONT PUSH
ING ROAD PROJECT
State Road Seems Probable

General T. Coleman dupont,
having given out contracts for the
construction of eighteen miles of
good roads, between Georgetown
and Selbyville, it is now believed
that he, unless interfered with in
tends to carry out his original pro-
iect of building a State-long high
way, a distance Of 100 miles, as
gift to the people of Delaware.
This project was halted by lltl-
CATION few years ago, but oppo-
sition appears to have died out en-
tirely, except on the part of very
few who originally opposed the
construction of the highway.
One of the arguments advanced
against the construction of the
road is that the State should build
it's own highway, but this would
involve the issue of bonds, and the
financial condition of the State
does not warrant this. If the road
is built throughout the State, it
will cost General DUPONT at least
ST. 100000.
He has stated his willingness to
build the boulevard as far upstate
as a continuous right of way is Sc
cured in fee simple, so that there
could be no litigation over right OF
way to stop him. Deeds for the
right of way already have been at.
, tained from Selbyville to near Ell.
lendale, and General DUPONT is
, planning to build the concrete
: road that far.
Bids for the construction of th'
stretch of the DUPONT boulevard
y from Selbyville to Frankford wer'
. opened Saturday afternoon at thu
: DUPONT headquarters. The aware
: will complete the contracts fo
= Sussex county and the entire dis
v tance from Georgetown to Selby
Vile has been let.

Severe Storms Again

A severe electric storm ragged
over this locality last Sunday
between eleven and
twleve, with three other storms
passing over later in the after
noon. The rainfall in the morn
ing was heavy, turning the streets
temporarily into little rivers. Cit
liens of North Chapel tell of a ball
of fire which flashed through the
street, bursting at the corner of
Chapel and Main streets. Several
electric light bulbs were shattered
by lightning in the store of l.. E.
Hill. The overhanging black
clouds cast a twilight gloom over
the town which made artificial
light necessary. Electric switches
however, were tried in vain, fol
all current was cut off from the
town for several hours.
A horse belonging to S. J
Wright, pasturing in lot on Della
ware avenue, was killed by tn
lightning. Mrs. John Sewell, re
siding on South Chapel street
was stunned. Except for the ner
vous shock, Mrs. Sewell has re
covered. Reports from the farm
ers in the locality mention the los
of stock an dthe destruction o
trees. Rumblings of thunder wer
heard throughout the afternoon.
