"The Sea Waif"
Written By An American
Officer In France

The interesting and unusual
story of "The Sea Waif," the new
World Picture, starring Louise
Huff, was penned by Lieutenant
Howard Irving Young, of the AM
erican Expeditionary Forces, dur
ing the time that he was off duty
in the trenches. Written, as it was,
under the stress of exciting times
and away from home, it is notable
for it's thrills, it's sentiment and
the splendid delineation of it's
characters. 1t is not war story,
however. 1t is a story of the sea
and of the water front, and it deals
with the experiences of Nancy Pot
ter, the foster-daughter of Maine

fisherman who is the head Of a
band of thieves.
The Newark Opera House has
secured this picture, and will show
it on Thursday, March 9th.
1t is interesting to know of the
manner in which the World secur-
ed this very interesting story. 1t
was written, as stated above, by
Mr.. Young during the time he was
not serving in the trenches. He
penned the story on such scraps of
paper as came to his hand and,
upon completing it, sent the origi-
nal manuscript to the World. The
material was in poor condition
when received by the World seen
ario department, and it was with
some difficulty that it was read.
However, when it was read, the
strength of the story and it's high
entertainment value were immedi-
ately recognized, and within "a
hours a checA.in purchase of "The
Sea Waif" was on it's way to Mr.,
Young in France.

Smyrna. Each local branch is holding
regular meetings. The milk produc-
ers of the county from Newark south
now comprise a solid organization.
1t is a signal fact that the farmers
are appreciating the value of organi-
zation. In some of the meetings every
farmer present became member OF
the association. In some communi-
ties they joined because they were not
getting the price set by the associa-
tion, but in other communities where
the price was being paid they joined
because they appreciated the fact that
thH association which is strongly or
ganized on all sides of them was re-

SUGAR CORN
GROWERS ORGANIZE
Submit Figures on Cost OF
= Production at Series OF
Meetings

What is the cost of producing su-
gar corn" is the subject under discus
sion at a series of meetings of the
New Castle County Sugar Corn
Growers Association, which has re-
Gently been organized.
This Association comprises the su-
gar corn growers of Middletowh'
Townsend Odessa, and Mt. Pleasant
communities. The executive commit
tee composed of a representative from
each community, is the governing
body and will transact all business for
the association, including negotiating
with the officials of the canneries re-
tive to the price of sugar corn for
the coming year. The executive COM
mittee is responsible to and will re-
port to the association at stated in
tervals.
Figures on the cost of producing
sugar corn have been submitted by
representative growers from each OF
the communities, and it is an interest
ing fact that the variation in these
! figures has been negligible. At the
writing of this article there seems to
: be a considerable differential between
the price at which the growers feel
that they can produce sugar corn and
that offered by the Gamers.

Participates in Parade Follow.
ing Seminole Sun
Dance

In letter recently received
from Mrs. D. C. Rose many inter-
esting things are told relative to
the activities of the winter colony
at Palm Beach where Mr.. and Mrs.
Rose have been spending their
winters for several seasons.
A portion of the letter follows:
eve are having such a delight
full winter in Florida that |
thought you would enjoy hearing
of the many interesting as we'll as
entertaining things that we have
shared with our friends here. The
first thing | will describe is our
Club of which | have been a men,
ber for a number of years. Our
president is very charming wo-
man and our club meets every
Monday afternoon. The subjects
considered are always we'll worth
the time spent in discussing them.
A part of the afternoon is always
devoted to music for which we
have some splendid talent both
among the home people and among
the tourists. Then we have a band
concert three times a week and
also on Sunday afternoons in the
park.
During the past week we have
had a celebration known as the
Seminole Sun Dance which lasts
three days. Palm Beach takes
great interest in this affair. The
Indians are clothed in very gay
costumes. The men are very jeal-
Gus of their wives and try to make
them as attractive las possible; !;
the women try to see which can
look the best. They wear numerous
strongs of beads-no stockings but
little toe slippers beaded in var
ious colors. The men wear neither
shoes nor stockings, and the chill
dren are very bright and attrac-
tive. They wear no head covering
of any kind nor do their parents
The women who wear the greatest
number of beads are considered
the wealthiest.

Club, which contains representa-,
tives from every state, took part in
