GUARD TO GET TANKS.
Fifteen VIII be Assigned by War De-
nartment to Delaware,

Officers Of the Delaware Militia have
been notified recently that the Guard
here would receive fifteen tanks from
the War Department The order, how
ever, did not mention whether the tanks
would be of the large or small type.
If the tanks are to be of the ''whippet'
tvpe. all will be well. but If the larger
tanks are shipped, they Will be practi-
calIy useless in this State. This i'm
portant fact was pointed out by officers
when il was learned that most bridges
of the State have been built with a
capacity of not more than 10000 pounds.
The large tanks weigh 10000 pounds,
which is nearly four times over the
capacity OF tho bridges to sustain. Be

Esteemed Friends. I have your letter
Of January 18th. II was addressed by
YOU to Yazoo City. Mississippi Why
don't know because the Senate is in
session. and you must have forgotten
it SO the letter was a bit late IN getting
to me
think good economy hangs on dis
armament: and not many days ago |
made 4 little talk in the Senate along
that line desiring to reduce the army
from f75 900 to 10000 men, thereby
saving some thirty five millions Of
dollars in that one item. The Senate
first voted with me, but later the matter
was reconsidered, and the Senate voted
the other way.
The United States never needed an
army as little as 1t does right now; it's
prestige was never so great; the danger
Of any attack by anybody was never
so small; the number Of men living
within our boundaries. trained to
military service, was never so great;
ana public necessity for economy was
never 50 urgent. You are at liberty to
use this letter in amy way that you
| choose.
Yours very truly,
JOHN SHARP WILLIAMS.

The annual Get-Together supper OF
the First Congregational church which
was held in the lecture room last
Thursday night proved to be all that
the term implies, for 1926 members and
friends gathered about the tables at
the supper hour. After partaklng of
a most satisfying and faultlessly served
meal. those assembled listened to con-
cisely prepared and ably given reports
from the different organizations work
ing in conjunction with the church. In
all, eleven departments made reports
at this time, and each and every report
indicated healthy activity and prosperi-
ty in all branches. A rather unusual,
but most encouraging fact was brought
to light by these reports, showing that
the church and the various organlza-
tions under her care had more than
81, 900 in the banks of the city with
which to face the program of 1921.
During 1920 every bill was paid and
over 81, 600 was contributed 10 denOfni-
national missionary activities and other
benevolent organizations. The clerk
reported a total membership of 32f
souls;I6l of this number having come
into the fellowship of the church II

rites of Christian baptism to IS children
and IL adults. solemized 26 marriage

When the American householders
procured their light from candles and
sperm oil the annual cost was about
SO 90 for the light of five candles

little later afforded so per cent more

present time the average homes re-
quire eighteen times as much light as

HE CAME. WE SAW, WE HEARD.

Rev. s. P, Todd, representing the
Wisconsin Lords Day Association, was
in Mineral Point last Sunday, per
announcement. That's coming. He
sermonized at the Congregational
Church in the morning, and in the
evening appeared on the stage of the
Municipal Theatre, making it mass
meeting. Thus we saw and heard,
/ Nj. Todd is out in support OF that to
which no civilized, honorable citizen
objects the retention of the Sunday
law now in force in this state. He
didn't preach, but harangued. His
we'll tuned remarks to the effect that
a proper observance of Sunday by one
and all would enhance civilization,
which enhancement could result only in
better and stronger nation, were well
rec.sved His quotations from opinions
of e eat men of the present and the
past as TO the observance of Sunday
we're good but not new to the general
re3dar. His going after ,hose VINO M

Inconsistent. as that is what he was
doing at that time and place. If he
works seven nights week like that,
he's dandy. His reference to the
press of the state was colored with |
