today. Mr.. duBell said I'm part:
"The war Is now over and the whole

pesce-time conditions and 10 take up
again the pursuit Of the routine and

OF the prominent part Il played during

their minds TO the task OF making VIII

greater Wilmington but those dreams
can never come true unless we our
selves endeavor 90 make them a fact.
"The present stumbling block TO the
growth Of Wilmington is lis lack OF a
port. Wilmington needs this port and
Wilmington Is logically located to be

the proposed port built Wilmington
must grow even beyond the fondest
dreams OF her citizens. Are we then

Notice of Assessment.

The Common Council of the City of
Edgerton, Wisconsin, having on the Sd
day of March, 1919, duly adopted res
olution declaring it to be the sense and
purpose of the council that the follow

AT THE LYRIC

In his newest photoplay, "Me' Fix
it," Doug. Fairbanks has an unique
role, which, it is said, affords so
many surprises as to entitle the
portraya Ito the distinction of being
not only one of the best in which
this athletic star ever appeared, but
one whose spirit is distinctively new
in picture photography. From the
slums in which Doug. battles with
gangsters and slides down the side
of a house on a clothesline, to an
aristocratic home, is only a casual
step in the picture. "Me Fix it,
will be shown at the Lyric on Thurs
day, tonight.
"The Service Star" is the title of
the photodrama in which Madge
Kennedy is presented on Saturday.
While it is in no sense a war play,
not one scene carrying a suggestion
of the world conflict. 1t carries the
story of a dead hero who is a live
coward.
"Red Head" presenting Alice
Brady will be shown on Monday.
The wedding that broke the speed
limit. They were engaged and
married within five minutes, all to
the accompaniment of Jazz band.
Nazimova has what is in effect a
triple personality to interpret in
"The Red Lantern" which comes to
the Lyric on Wednesday and Thurs
day, July 18th and 18th. She ap-
pears as Mahle, an Eurasian girl,
in whom the racial traits of the Or
iental and the Anglo Saxon conflicts
in moments of elemental passion;
and also as Blanche Sackville, an
English girl, the natural daughter
of Mahle, as Blanche, Nazimova for
the first time on the screen appears
as a blonde. The burning of the
legations in Pekin during the Boxer
uprising of 1900 is faithfully repro
duced on the screen in this great
production; also the Feast of the
Red Lantern Light, the procession
of the war maiden of China, Bar
baria in it's splendor, sublime in its
theme. It is a story rich in tint
and rare in harmony. A story OF
a soul burdened with traditions, the
preiudices and the emotions of two
races, portrayed only as Nazimova
can portray it.

Annual School Meeting Held

The annual school meeting of the
local school district was held on Mon
day evening. The meeting gave every
evidence of harmony as no question
was raised as to the budget asked for
by the school board, nor was any oppo-
sition indicated to reelection of the
members of the board whose terms ex-
pired. The meeting was not as largely
attended as iI should have been. Sat
isfaction with the conditions of the
schools evidently exists or else there is
q decided lack of interest on the part
of the votes of the district.
The meeting was called to order
by President Birkenmeyer, and w.
F. Mabbett was elected to preside
during the meeting. The Minutes of
the 1913 meeting were read and ap-
proved. The Chairman of the Au-
diting Committee, Mr.. wv. T. Pome-
roy reported that the Committee had
examined the Treasurer's books and
that they found the accounts cor
rect, and the balance on hand as
reported by the Treasurer. The
Treasurer's report was then read by
the Clerk, and appears in the Clerks
report given below.
