A Big Hit

"The first entrance brought al.
plause. This grew to cheers and
shouts. Throughout the long pro.
gram the audience clapped and
shouted its approval. Time after
time Will was called forth mounted
on his big, sleek horse to receive III.
approval of the tremendous crowds
There was no worriment after that
our fortunes were made"
Throughout the East the wild
West Show swept triumphant, re.
ceiving a recognition such as The
Codys in their most optimistic mo.
ments had not dared to expect Il
was only little while before the
West went further East, to Europe,
taking the atmosphere and sights Of
the plains to England, France,
Spain and Italy.
When the show lay by for the
winter in Alsace, Cody returned
to America for a rest. The call to
the frontier met him as he stepped
from the ship. The Indians were on
the war path again, and Buffalo Bill
for the second time in his career
turned from the play at Indian fight
ing to warfare itself.
Reused by a mysterious Messiah,
the Sioux, clad in ghost shirts that
they believed no bullet would pene-
trate, had taken the trail again for
their last stand against the white
men, stand that they believed
would sweep the invader away and
bring back the bison-filled free pral-
ries Of the old DAYS.

To the Frontier

Openhanded and openhearted,
with a voice that always doomed
and roared as though he were trying
to make himself heard above a
norther and throat that beloved
laughter at the slightest oppor-
tunity, the money Cody had saved
for his honeymoon was soon spent.
He and his wife headed for the real

"He could ride anything made of

The Hero Of American Boyhood
Has an Important Niche
in Frontier History

careless bravery and painful awk-
wardness, but with vision Of the
empire Of to-day that he and his
associates were blazing road for
one and two generations ago.
We who knew Buffalo Bill, the
Snowman, forgot William F. Cody,
the pioneer, until Louisa Frederick
Cody stopped our ears to the blare
Of a circus band and made US listen
to the thunder Of bison herds and
the yell Of Indians on the warpath;
until she took away the picture of
the hero ahorse in the limelight to
show the fearless scout, the daring
plainsman who rode for years with
death clinging to the cantle Of his
saddle so that America might roll
westward.
Not Mere Imagination
Much that has been told of him
has been ascribed in this cynical age
to the ford imagination Of his
shows publicity man. The truth,
as told by the woman who shared
with him the perils and hardships Of
frontier life, who bore him children
in the outposts Of civilization, excels
In drama anything a mere press
agent could have dreamed.
He was many things during his
long, vivid life. Once he was even
a poet Of sorts. That was when he
had returned from the service with
the Union forces in the Civil War to
st. Louis, where he first met his
future wife. Shortly thereafter he
saw her on the street, swathed in
ono Of the thick wells Of the period,
and later sent her the following
lyric.
The blazing sun Of brilliant day
May veil the light Of stars above,
But no amount Of heavy wells
Can e'er deceive the eyes of love.
What wonder that he, even then
an Indian fighter as we'll as a SOL
der, tall, dark and handsome, should
win her and take her with him into
his West that began at Fort Leaven-
worth, from which the lines of the
Kansas-Pacific were reaching west
ward.

Cody, no longer the Snowman, but
once more the scout, led the Tth
Cavalry in pursuit. They came upon
the hostiles at Wounded Knee and
surrounded them. Some ore fired q
shot. There in the midst Of bitter
blizzard the dreary fight began. A
cannon with the troopers failed the
Indians with shrapnel, killing bucks,
squaws and papooses indiscrlml'
nately. They broke and fled through
the terrible storm that took toll
almost as heavy as that claimed by
the white soldiers. The last Indian
uprising was at its end.
The rest is too recent to need any
telling. The show continued TO
flourish until it seemed that It's
owner had somewhere, somehow
achieved the gift of Immortality.

terry Depressed List

The local market developed a notice
able dropping tendency with almost
a general shading of prices in the more
prominent shares. This was not be-
cause of any adverse developments of
local character, but seemingly was
a reflection of the increasing tension in
the money market, disturbing advices
on the general business situation and
in sympathy with the lowering of Sc
curity values in the other prominent
markets.
Several cOnspicuously weak spots
were uncovered, the more noteworthy
being Electric Storage Battery and
Philadelphia Rapid Transit. The first
named sustained further decline to

large proportions, but the knowledge Of

There seems TO be growing dissatis
faction concerning the recent rate rul-

mess of the stock caused slight chip

PRIMARY ELECTION.

So little interest was manifested
in the primary election on Monday,
May 8, that there was hardly more
than bakers dozen of votes cast in
some of the Districts in our county,
and the vote was exceedingly light
throughout the State.
In the Republican preferential
primary for President, Gen. Leonard
Wood was an easy winner over Sena-
tor Hiram W. Johnson, of California,
carrying Baltimore City, and also
capturing most of the counties.
In this Congressional district, the
First, T. Alan Goldsborough won
over Hilton w. Robertson for the
Democratic nomination for Congress.
Robertson carried Cecil County by
about 27O majority.
The nominees of their respective
parties for Congress follow
United States Senate Democrat,
John Walter Smith; Republican, O.
e. Weller.
Congress, First District-T. Alan
Goldsborough, Democrat; William
N. Andrews, Republican.

Moved building On Trucks.

Contractor w. L. Ryan on Monday
afternoon moved the Office building
used by the Town Commissioners as
a meeting place, from the lot in the
rear of Alice & Shepherds store to
the corner of Pearl and Mount
streets. The building is small
frame structure, estimated to weigh
about seven tons. Two large auto
trucks were placed end to end, facing
in opposite directions, and the build
ing slid along skids until it rested
upon the trucks.
The trucks then moved up Main
street beyond Center Square, until
the one in the rear faced on Pearl
street, and then moved slowly up
Pearl street where the building was
placed on its new site without mis-
hap.
The actual moving of the building
was, apparently, small job, but it
was big job getting it ready for the
trip.

paign May 10 to 20.
Monday evening, April 26, meet
ing was held in the Office of Henry
M. Mccullough in Elkton for the
purpose Of discussing ways and
means in connection with the placing
of the 1920 Home Service Appeal of
the Salvation Army before the peo-
pie of Cecil County. At this meet
ing Irwin H. Deibert, Edwin Deibert,
DIR. w. T. Morrison, VIM. J. Davis,
Irwin T. Kepler, w. Sterling Evans

The Salvation Army asks this
county to contribute as its quota to
the nationwide Appeal the sum of
$2500, which is about ten cents per
capita. The Appeal will be made be-
tween May 10th and goth. After a
careful survey Of the various dis
tricts Of the county the committee
apportioned the Appeal as follows:
1st district, 5000; End district,
$3.50; 3rd district, $500; 4th dis

Upon the recommendation of high

vation Army has decided to abandon
the tamborine method of solicitation
of funds, which took so much Of the
time and energy or its officers, and
adopt the policy Of making an annual
appeal each year in the month OF
May. This new policy will make it
possible for everyone to make q con-
tribution to this most worthy cause
and further will enable the officers of
the Army to devote their entire time
to the uplift work whichNis it's mis-
sion.
