GLENDALE

Another near riot occurred in Jimtown
this week, and it seems that bad whiskev
! is the root of the evil. At the eolored
festival the whole thing seemed to be a
night between drunken white rowdies and
jealous blacks. Several knockouts, one
chopped face, and sliced arm ore re
ported, and one white man ran like a
frightened animal chased by black mob
to bis door, with threats of murder. At
the white festival two fights are said to
have occurred. Strange to say no legal
proceedings have been taken as a eesult
OF either of the troubles. There is a
rumor that police will be appointed to
clean up the brawls, and we give notice
to the Offenders that when the appoint
ment is made they will be in for trouble.
1t is to be hoped that Glendale will be
rid OF the troubles in the near future.
The citizens of Ellendale are rapidly
becoming interested in the proposition to
furnish some sort of fire protection for
this thriving little village. As a result.
a meeting has been called for the even
ing of Saturday, March goth, at which
time an effort will be made to raise 5000
by subscription with which to purchase
hand chemical engine. A number of
citizens now stand ready to give liberslly
to the project, one man standing ready
to contribute SIS, while others offer in
sums ranging from S. to $40. This is
worthy project, and every man in the
town should contribute to it, as we'll as
farmers residing near the village.
The most enjoyed event of recent times
occurred at the cosy little home of the
venerable Mrs. Margaret Matthews. gen

present were Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Rog-

daughter, of Wilmington, James Mat
thews and daughter, Carrie, of George
town, a granddaughter, Mrs. Nav Nor

Ina Morris. This was a happy dav for
the grand old lady and also dav long to
be remembered by all of those present as
a tlne feast was spread before them that
them of the DAYS of long AGO.
We extend to those happy ones our warm
est congratulations, and hopes for many
more long and useful years for the old
and beloved hostess.

FARMERS PREPARE FOR PROFITS.

It is noticeable that the farmers in
lower Delaware are now laying plans TO
harvest good profits next fall and winter
should the European war continue that
long. In many sections they are MAX
ing acreages of grain than heretofore
and many of them planted more wheat
than usual last fall. Another indlca
tion that they are on the alert is the
fact they are breeding their horses ana
cattle more freely than in past season,
thus insuring supply of stock when the
demand comes following the war.

NO MORE BACKACHE
 NO MORE MISERY

Hundreds of people have been re- diseased or clogged-up kidneys by using Solvax, the new remedy that quickly reaches the source of all kidney complaints.
 If you suffer with pains in your back and sides or have any signs of kidney Or bladder trouble such as rheumatic pains, puffy swellings under the eyes or in the feet and ankles, if you are nervous tired and rum down, or both cred with urinary disorders, Solvax will quickly and surely relieve you of your misery.
 SoIVax is probably the most potent remedy yet devised for ridding the sys- tenn of uric acid and driving out all the poisonous impurities which cause such troubles. It neutralizes, dissolves and makes the kidneys sift out all the uric acid and poisons left by the blood. and renders the kidneys and urinary organs clean vigorous and healthy.
 Many of the best druggists say that no medicine ought to be paid for unless 1t does the user some good. Solvax therefore sells under a positive guaran- tee to quickly relieve the worst cases of kidney trouble or your money re- funded Try Solvax today and if you cannot see and feel decided change for the better, just go to the druggist from whom you bought it and tell him you want your money back and he will return it without question. This is the strongest argument that can be offered in behalf of any medicine. Solvax is sold in Norwich and vicinity by Lee & Osgood and other leading dealers.

POPULAR LECTURE.

The annual report of the president of a college is normally occupied with a. consideration of the broad policies on which the institution is being, or should be, conducted and is as lit tie affected by the passing whims of popular fancy as any utterance could well be. Significant, therefore of the importance which he attaches to the matter of military instruction is the fact that President Hadley of Yale devoted large part of his report, pub
 ished only last month, to consider at1on of the summer camps of mil- ltary training for American under graduates under control of the United States army, and of the Yale battery. recently formed, the number of cain didefes for. which was so great that a delay in organization was necessi- tated. Norwich has the good fortune to hear this evening in Slater hall President Hadley's views on The De-
 mafd for Military Education The timeliness of the subject and eminence of the speaker lend unusual emphasis to the expressions of this distinguished gentleman on so vital an issue With the constant succession of public as well as university matters which de- mand his attention, President Hadiey is obliged to make it rule not to lec- ture from the public platform. That he should make this exception is no slight compliment which the Norwich public is quick to recognize, judging from the interest already evidenced in tonight's lecture

He returns to America and finds that the fathers estate will not pay his in debtednesS, so answers an ad. in which he assumes command of a tiger-hunt- ing party in India. While there, in the depths of the jungle, he saves a medicine falSir who has been called by the Rajah to cure his beautiful, but ailing daughter Failing, the fakir was tied to a tree to be devoured by the wild animals. Sir Arthur thus wins the fakir's confidence, who tells him of the wonderful aid priceless jewels. and beautiful daughter Sir Arthur, posing as an English physician, visits the palace, and meeting the princess, is at once captiVated his pity aroused, and he sets about to cure her of her lingering ailment.

old time Thanksgiving Sermon--Re-
 ceptien Tendered Rev. and Mrs. Viii liam M. Zumbro-Driving Accident.

In g. thanksgiving sermon preached 40 years ago in the First Congrega- tional church by Rev. Hiram F; Arms, he told of the first New England thanksgiving, that it was on Nov. 5, Guy Fawkes day in England, and was held on that day for several years aft CT. The fathers of. the children here had in England celebrated the day by burning the efIigy of Guy Fawkes, burning barrels pieces of stolen wood and stumps according to the old rhyme:
 Remember. remember, the fifth of No-
 yember,
 A stick or a stake for King Georges Timber or coal for the bonfire pole.
 It seems consistent that on Thanks giving day in New England their sons should have celebrated the day espe- cially when it came on Nov. 5, by bar rel burnings and bonfires, which cus- tom has been handed down to the present day.

Marsusrite Clark in Paramount Fea- lure and Three Vaudeville Aets To- day. ..

A fine show is promised for the patrons of the Auditorium for today and tomorrow when the film favorite Marguerite Clark will be seen in the Lasky Paramount production The Pretty Sister of Jose and three classy acts of. vaudeville will make up the program.
 In The Pretty Sister of Jose. by Francis Hodgson Burnett, and former Iy Maude Adams starring vehicle, Miss Clark triumphs as she has never tri- umphed on the screen before. This fact is true not only because her role provides her with many emotional op- portunities, but because of her dis play of force and temperament in it's portrayal In addition to the moments of stress throughout the drama which she enacts so effectively we see her early charm, her delightful little girlish
 nannerisms, those exquisite little bits imitably, combined with a. gentle pathos. all developed artistically and with composite charm.
 Fhe Famous, Players Film company has produced many notable feature successes. but few even of its superb productions can rank in charm and appeal with The Pretty Sister of Jose. The play, has been set amid scenes of rare beauty. The color and glamor of old Madrid the environment of the dramas action, are realistically depict ed. Miss ,Clark's sympathetic imper- sonation of the central character is enhanced by the splendid portrayals of an apparently carefully chosen com paTfy Sebastiano, the hero, ifnper- sor1ated by Rupert Julian, is hand some young man, and disclosed fig lre of youthful strength. Throughout the entire production he acts earnest V and sincerely. Jack PIckford as
