EIks Night At Broad Theatre

The benefit entertainment at the
Broad Theatre, on Wednesday night,
given by Penns Grove Lodge of Elks,
was a success in every way. There
was a good attendance at both per-
formances and an excellent picture,
"The Branding Iron," was shown:
"Bill" Adams. Penns Groves best and
only blackface artist, appeared as a
dude coon ornamented with the Elks
colors and his monologue and songs
brought forth merited applause. Bill
is a natural humorist and keeps his
audience in a happy mood. Miss Ella
Mae Johnson rendered "The Song of
the Robin" and "Why" in a manner
that pleased the audience who gave
her generous applause. Charles Den
mis- also sang a popular song which
was well received.
D. J. McCloskey made a brief but
interesting address upon the senti-
ments embodied in the Elks creed,
charity, patriotism, benevolence and
fidelity, and the splendid work of the
order during the World War.

quarters in the social room of En-
mauel Church. F~ifty-fve were pres

S. Carlisle, as postmaster, managed
the flow of wisdom, humor and good
cheer with skill.
The charter for the third year was

No Flax Seed To Plant

Much flax used to be grown in Ire
land. The linen thread with which
shad netting is made came from Ire
land. The famous Golden Irish
Irvine and netting sold for thirty years
by the late firm of John Summerill &
Bro, at the Cove, to shad fishermen
from Florida to Canada came from
there.
Since Irishmen were made richer
during the war, many have been rails
ing hell instead of fax.
Russia formerly raised much fax
from which linen was made and oil ex-
tracted. Industries stopped in those
countries has caused linen thread and
oil to increase in price greatly.
A company conceived the idea that
flax could be grown in Delaware
and Maryland. Chesapeake Flax and
Linen Corporation was organized and
promised to operate at Smyrna. Del.
The mill of Hoffecker & Hall Co. was
purchased and farmers We're employed
to plant 1900 acres in fax seed. Not
being able to get the flax seed for the
farmers the acreage has been mostly
planted in corn.
Charles D. Stockly, president of the
corporation, in a recent statement
said: The business arrangements of
our corporation have not as yet been
entirely completed. Consequently as
the time has arrived for planting corn
we do not ask the farmers to wait any
longer to obtain their fax seed,
Should our affairs be Strengthened out
in a short time, we will mail notices
to the farmers to call for their seed
with the understanding that if they
have already planted their fax ground
in corn. it will be perfectly satisfac-
tory to us provided we receive imme-
diate notice to that effect. We wish
to thank the farmers for their patience
and hearty cooperation.

The SIRENS Song

The new siren fire alarm just in
stalled at the Borough hall has been
given a pretty thorough tryout this
week. Whether it will develop suffi-
cient volume of sound to satisfy the
Mayor and Council has not yet been
determined. The Federal Electric Co.,
} which manufactures the siren, is a
standard concern however, with an eX-
cellent reputation, and no doubt they
will solve the problem before they are
through with it. The wiring was done
by Summerill & McCloskey, Penns
Groves electrical experts, and there is
no doubt that their work was properly
performed. They are thorough mas
tiers in their line of work.
Many, no doubt, expect a volume of
sound from the new siren equal to that
emitted by the ice plant whistle. But
that could not be with the difference
in power. The ice plant whistle
belches forth with 100 pounds of
steam back of it. The electric siren
is of three horse power and is blown
by air pressure.
The old "bull' smites upon ones
ears and nerves and sets them all a
Jangle. 10 SOME IL SOuIluS int IHC
screams and groans of a doomed soul
hurting its way through purgatory
to the nethermost depths described IN
Dante's Inferno. 1t wailing and whin-
ing and stertorous believing goes to
ones very marrow.
The new siren is more i~ngratiating
in its temperament. Its lullaby of
mellow sound might be a replica of
the dulcet voice of Delilah as she
dallies with Sampson and gets his
goat, likewise his goatee. Or it
might be likened unto the melody of
Cleopatra as she toys with Mark An
tony and likewise gets his Angora.
Either smile will fit in making a
comparison with the monster that rips
ND the circumambient air in %announc--
ing the MONDAY hour. The two whis-
ties do not speak the same language.

quite sure that Miss Henderson had
not told the truth that morning,
Nancy could not help wondering
why Miss Hcndcrson's brother had not

Could It he that the mystery surround

do with Bruce Henderson? And If so,
in what way, and why was the child
threatened? In her heart Of hearts
Nancy was glad that Mr.. Henderson
Lad not appeared. She had no desire
to see any man and if he did not

much the better.
