Community Chorus Idea Has
Taken Strong Hold of
the People.

a large crowd is expected to attend the
second sing Of the Wilmington Com

High School auditorium nt s O'Clock
tonight.
The community chorus idea il fast
spreading throughout the country, and
the local chorus is indicating that il will
let none OF the Others pass il By the time
spring comes il is thought no hall will bo
large enough To hold all those who desire
TO take part.
Peter ", Dykema writing about com
munity music IN Mothers Magazine,
says, among other things
do YOU want suIue new life III your
town. DO You want to make your people
know each other better and think more

tics OF community music for your town.
What we need in America Is more

and YOU have the spirit of the much talk
ed oi community music movement.
THE United States has entered into
the great war primarily for maintaining
and spreading democracy Community
music has as its great aIns exactly the
same idea r the dcmocratizing of music.
II is socialIzed music, music used for it's
democratic and social tendency, the
establishing and strengthening OF brother
hood among all men
There haze been concerts for the peo-
pie before, the so-cailed popular concerts;
there have been groups Of the people Who
have GENE tc2ctLer to perform music;
there has even been singing by great
miscellaneous groups of people These
three aspects of the modern community
music movement, the0. are not new.
" herein, therefore, lies the great acclaim

" hat is new?
The answer is found IN this underlying
idea u lslc, as potent means for arous-

been sufficiently priced and used In our
national life heretofore music has been
regarded largely as something which was

comparatively unimpnrtant pastime, now
it Is to be a great social force, vital IN

War has disturbed the
whole worlds sugar supply.
1t has not only wiped out any
available surplus. but it has
put all nations on a hand-to-
mouth basis.
The European Allies were
the first to feel the pinch.
Before the war, enough sugar
was produced on the Con-
tinent to supply all Europe.
Today. two-thirds Of this
sugar-producing area is with
in the battle lines.
England. France and other
nations have had to turn
elsewhere for a supply Of this
indispensable food.
And they came to Cuba
the main source upon which
the United States depends for
its cane sugar. During 1917,
Cuba sold and shipped to
Europe nearly 100000 tons
of raw susar-one-third Of It's
crop.
In addition to the normal
increase in the consumption
Of sugar as food in this coun-
try. the nationwide move
ment to save the fruit crop
last season greatly increased
its use.
But this increased con-
sumption Of sugar has been a
real factor in combating
waste. 1t enabled the Ameri-
can housewife to add to the
store Of the food Of the na-
ton at a time when fruits
and vegetables were plenti-
full and cheap.
The sugar is not only In the
fruit jar, but it has carried
into the pantries Of the coun-
try a vast supply of fruit and
vegetables which would
otherwise have been lost.
Sugar itself is not only a food.
but it is also the great pre-
server Of othez foods.
AS the demand for sugar
grew. both here and abroad.
Cuba's supply was exhausted
last fall. Every available
ton in Porto Rico and other
cane sugar countries was ac-
quired. But this was not
enough, and the shortage
came.

as unavailable as unmined
gold-because ships cannot be
spared to transport it.
Every 5.00O-ton ship which
can be saved by giving
England sugar from Cuba
means the release Of ship
which can make three trips
and take a total Of 5000 SOL
diers from the United States
TO France.
If we can save the Allies
from taking any Java sugar
in 1918, we will release for
transport purposes enough
ships to carry over TO the
Western front and supply
about 10000 to 100000
soldiers.
At the same time, we will
also be giving the Allies the
necessary sugar. Therefore.
1t is to the interest Of the
common cause to save ships
and send soldiers.
The Franklin Sugar Re-
filming Company has put forth
every possible effort to keep
up the supply OF sugar for the
United States, even in limited
quantities, and to stabilize
the price TO the consumer.
In order to enable thewidest
possible distribution Of sugar
so that all may have some
susar-we distribute Franklin
Cane Sugars in convenient
size packages.
These small unit cartons
and cotton bags enable sro-
GERS TO limit their sales SO that
waste and hoardins may be
prevented.
1t will be necessary for
groCerS and consumers TO
watch carefully their distri-
button and purchases during
the approaching period OF re-
adjustment. The refineries
are now starting up and sup
plies Of raw sugar coming for
ward, but it will take weeks,
and possibly months. for the
return of normal conditions.
Housewives can cooperate
with this plan by buying
these package sugars.

Sugar and Ships

In the interest Of the public it serves, the
Franklin Sugar Refining Company is earnestly
supporting the Governments policy to regulate
the supply Of sugar that it shall be sufficient
for the needs Of all-our soldiers our Allies
and ourselves.
With the new crop Of cane sugar coming in.
the sugar situation is more favorable than it
was q month ago. There will be sugar enough,
according to present indications. if extrava-
cant use and waste are avoided

JUNCTION BRIGGS WIN, 4-3
 IN FAST THINNING CLASH

A young man named Johnson who denies that his first name is Walter, but who acted a great deal like an in- dividual of that monaker. who sum- mers in the nations capital and is often referred to as the Washington American league baseball team, was the main attraction at the Warren ball yard Sunday afternoon for seven in- nings but finally succumbed to the war clubs of the Junction Brigges' players and that team won from the c. & A. 4 to 3 in 12 spasms, just as the shades of night commenced to set lie down.
 The contest marked the initial league fracas of the 1918 season and was replete with scintillating plays although the outstanding feature of the contest was the work of the op- posing slabbers. Johnson for the los ing club chalked up 19 strikeouts, fore ing I6 of these men to walk back to the bench after three futile swings in the first nine chapters. Red Toner sent an even dozen for a drink mutter- ing "he hasn't got a prayer"
 Held Opponents Hitless.
 Hits were as scarce as rocks are numerous on the ball diamond and until inning eight the J.-B.'s had taken unto themselves but a lone scratch hit of the doubtful variety. This was when Johnson, third sacker, ramshack- led one back at the pitcher who brave ly inserted a bare hand in the way, deflecting the course of the spheroid
 Ffn1I perfectly, although he made an effort as he gracefully stood on one ear and juggled the ball after overrunning it.
 All that could be heard, from the J.-B roofing section fer seven innings was silence and lots of it. Meanwhile the c. & A. players were counting noses in the grandstand (not diff cult matter due to the cold wind) and figuring out what the winners end of the cut would total.
 The game started out like an easy victory for the C. & A. gang as they marked up two counters in the initial inning. With one hand down Young man looked at four wide ones. Meach- em in5eGca a two-ply smash to right garden 4Ner Morris whiffed and YoungniAa registered. Kincaid then hit one which fell a sixteenth of an inch inside the right field line that put Meachem over the tallying station and netted the batter three cushions.

 Great Bravery.

But for this he would easily have made a home run.

CBy Review Leased wlre)

BOSTON. April 15.-Ruth held Philadelphia. in the first game of the season, Boston winning in a none too cleanly played contest. Cnoditions for the game were the best this city has seen in years for an opening con. test, yet the attendance was only slightly more than 1000.
 The batting of Hooper and some of the fielding plays by Shannon were features. Strunk and McInnis ob- tained by Boston from the Philsdel- phia club during the winter. made a favorable debut
 McInnis' sole fielding chance at third base, new position for him. was high foul which he caught after a hard run. Strunk singled and drew q base on balls, also making a catch in center field which cut off at least two Philadelphia runs.
