ATLANTA AFTER
 B|G PRIZE FIGHT Promoters in Georgia Vil- lage Wire Pickard Ask
 ing Consideration

Arrangements for interesting Promoter Tex Rickard in Atlanta as a prospective site for the Dempsey Willard heavyweight championship fight on July f were put under way Saturday by number of prominent Atlanta sportsmen, who, after studying the advantages of staging the mill here, believe that Atlanta stands an excellent chance of landing the bout.
 A telegram inviting Rickard to make 8 trip to Atlanta and see for himself just what is to be offered here as an induce- ment for the big pugilistic quarrel Will be dispatched. A reply is expected Sun day.
 Although New Orleans, Denver, Phila- helphia and Reno, New, are strong in the running for the fight, local hopefuls point out that Atlanta, in addition to having nearly 25O,O0o inhabitants, is ap- proximately the halfway point between the big cities of the east and New Dr. leans. from where a bulk of the spectators will be drawn.
 Too, they emphasize, 45-round fights can be pulled off here without running afoul of the law whereas only 2o-round melees are allowed in New Orleans and Denver.
 The old Wheat grounds, which have been used during the last few years for quar tering circuses, has been mentioned as an ideal site for the erection of an arena in the event Atlanta is the chosen city.
 The selection of Atlanta for the scene of the battle would be of inestimable value to the city in numerous ways. In addition to being a great advertisement. it would attract to the city thousands of people from other corners of the nation, who would leave in the city goodly por- ton of their stores of this world
 Tex Rickard spent portion of last week at Fort Worth, Tex, to consider the aGvisabilty of pulling off the big glove fest in that city,. Atlanta boxing en- thuslasts who have taken the matter in hand are hopeful that he will be induced to stop here when he leaves New Orleans for the east.

Rheumatism Has Never Been Cured by Lininents or Lo-
 tions, and Never Will Be

You never knew of Rheumatism that most painful source of suffering-oeing cured by liniments, lotions or other eN- ternal applications. And you will never see anything but temporary relief af- forded by such makeshifts
 Rut why be satisfied with temporary relief from the bangs of pain which are sure to return with increased severity, when there is permanent relief within your reach? Science has proven that Rheumatism is a disordered condition of the blood. How, then, can satisfac- tory results be expected from any treatment that does not reach the blood.

ANOTHER BUILDING LOAN
IN TOWN OF MILFORD

The question of organizing another
Building and Loan Association in the
town of Milford. has been under con-
sideration by several men interested
in the growth of Milford, and who re-
cOgnize the need for more dwellings
Of better grade for the people. It
is recognized that the supply of houses
with light, water and bath convenient
ces, is almost nil, and that it is only
thru death that a house of this class is
open to rental; when a rush follows
for its possession. 1t is purposed to so.
arrange the proposition that home
owners thru the proposed Building
Loan can secure modern home on a
plan which will give them the use of
the property and permit them to pay
for it exactly as they now pay rent
for houses without modern conven-
fences. The present Building Loan
which has been in operation in Milford
for the past fifty years did much for
the building of Milford during this
period but it is felt that there is an
opportunity for another Building
Loan Association to be useful in
Milford and helpful to its
members. There certainly is an
opening for some one with ideas as to
building moderate priced houses

VISIT KENT ORCHARDS

The inspection of peach and apple
orchards and alfalfa fields of Kent
county, arranged by the Kent County
Farm Bureau, on Wednesday was a
most profitable days outing for far
mers and fruit growers.
In the orchards of Kent county the
brown rot. tWig blight and eure;;Iio
has done considerable damage where
spraying has not been done thorough
ly. Government experts from the ex-
pertinent station, who have made a
study of such pests, recommended
methods to stamp out fungus diseases.
Nearly one hundred men from all
parts of the state were carried thr-
ough some Of the county's largest or
chards of the county and shown dem
onstrations of spraying by the liquid
and dry process, and went to some
orchards where no spraying patches
OF the unsprayed orchards it was par
ticularly noticeable that the diseases
were more prevalent.
Among the government representa-
tives with the party were Kent Coun-
ty Agent A. d. Cobb, Dover; Prof.

FAILED TO RE-RECISTER CAR
AND WAS FINED. ARRAIGNED TWICE
In THREE DAYS ON SAME CHARGE.

Charles Perry, Manager of the Stet-
son & Ellison cannery at Houston
was fined by Alderman Hendrixson
last Saturday night for driving his
car with license tags which had been
issued for a Ford car. The fine was
the lowest allowed for this offense $40.
On Sunday Perry again took his car
out and was reported. to Justice of the
Peace Truitt of North Milford. He
was arraigned before that official on
Monday of this week and this being his
second offense was fined S25.
The trouble into which Perry found
himself involved was caused by failure
to notify the Secretary of State at
Dover that he had disposed of his Ford
and was using Pullman car. The
latter car is heavier and as a result
the license fee for the vehicle is more.
Had he invested one dollar for having
the car re-registered and paid the diff
ference due for a car of the weight of
a Pullman he would have eliminated
any possibility of trouble for himself.
Mr.. Perry claims that he had ap-
piled to the Secretary of State thru
G. T.Reed, cashier of. the Milford
Trust Company of Milford, for re-
gistration, after he had been fined
before Esq, Hendrickson, and that Mr.
Reed stated to him that he could use
the tags he had until the re-registra-
tion tags arrived, and on this ground
he appealed from the second case.
Esquire Truitt has referred the pro-
ceedings to the Secretary of State
with the facts in the case, for his in

THE SALVATION ARMY
HOME SERVICE FUND

The Salvation Army desires to Sc
cure $150O00 in the State of Della
ware with which to extend the scope
of its work in this state.
The war is over. COmmendatiOn
from every side crowns the success of
their work during the recent war.
Our boys are insistent in their praise,
not only because of the doughnut but
because of the sympathy and untiring
interest of the Salvation Army
When we stop just a moment and
think, we must realize that their
great work during the war was
merely an incident in their work for
mankind. They were in the Boer war
the Russian-Japanese war, the San
Francisco earthquake and the explo-
sion at Halifax. Their greatest work,
however, has been, during a long
period of years, the reclamation of so
many of those who either through
misfortune, inclination or environ
ment, have gone down so low that
they found not only want and starva-
ton, but despair, courage gone and no
one to extend a hand of friendship.
This the Salvation Army has done per-
haps better and wiser than any other
organization.
$4,000 of this fund will be used in
this state to build a home. This
building will be used as a lodging
house for men and women, a meeting
place where music, amusement and
comfort can be had for those less
fortunate of our human family. This
building fund will be under the con
-rol of some of our foremost busi- I
ness men of the state.
About 10% of the remaining $4,000 .
will go to administrative expense of 1
he national organization and to pro-
Tide a fund to be used by the Army
ind as an old age pension for workers 7

'ome unable to perform their usual

My Dear Governor: Received your

hear from you, indeed. We are be
ginning to get regiment assembled in
the vicinity of Chaumont. Last week
1 received instructions that the regi-
ment would be released from all duty

to get all American troops out of

of the appointment of the members OF
the faculty of the Delaware College
Summer School, which will open June

fatures this summer, including social
and athletic activities. Tuition is
free to Delaware teachers. but a nom
inal fee of $3.50 will be charged others

lures. Professor Mary E. Rich will
