Twas here that Congress first convened. in
the State .of Delaware.
To make for the people of their land, laws
that were just and fair.
The history of Belmont Hall is of interest to
the State.
For during the Revolutionary War and while
within its gates.
A sentinel was killed, by British full of hate.
So in the tower where he stood and where he
gave his all
Were names inscribed. carved or written. in
the tower of Belmont Hail.
While gazing round about us, we see on
every hand.
The beauty of Gods creation and his love for
The flowers in the garden blooming, wonderful
rich and rare,
While the odor from the many trees permeates
the air.
The birds in the tree tops singing,
Built their nests with Ree,
While the squirrels cross the campus leapng,
From branch to branch, from tree TO tree.
On this historic spot. of interest to our land,
Was reared its present owner, Cummins T..
Speakman.
His heart was full of sorrow. his spirit rent
in twain
When first on New Years morning, he saw
his house in flame.
The community responded, to the alarming
call,
Come to the men, come quickly, and
save Old Belmont Hall.
The wind was blowing from the north, the
day was bitter cold
The men worked hard and manfully. though
II all it seemed must go.
But the two back wings remain intact that

"Why Announce Your Marriage" A
delightful entertainment based upon
the question of secret marriages:
There is something doing every min
ute that will hold your interest.
Monday and Tuesday-"MadOnnas

and high ideals, "Madonnas and Men"
is a fascinating compound of spiritual
beauty and purely sensuous charm. 1t
is as romantic as night dream OF
dark centuries long passed which takes
on new meaning in the clear light OF
the modern day. Into this dream-like
fantasy there is woven an up-to-date
motive in favor of splendid woman
hood. 1t is a dream setting forth some
of the truest sort of truths, but in an
entertaining way. 1t refreshes weari-
ness of spirit for those who seek to
escape from the narrowness of their
lives, escape from themselves, hence
it is true art. The plays the thing;
the eternal play that eases our hearts
with the triumph of light over dark
ness. In real life we rarely triumph.
Most of us fail, unable to cope with
the overwhelming power of circum-
stances, or because our hopes far ex-
ceed our strength, hence stories like
"Madonnas and Men" enrich and stim-
ulate our dull lives. The play is well
conceived, all in harmony with remark
ably artistic direction by B. A. Rolfe.
Rolfe has most carefully preserved the
"Mood," the soul of the piece, without
which there is no real art.

ENFORCE DOG TAX IN MILFORD
Town Council Orders Every Dog to
Wear Collar With 1922 License Tag

Wear Collar With 1922 License Tag
The Town Council of Milford has
caused to be printed notice to all con-
cerned, that every dog in the Ii mits
of the Town of Milford ,>must wear
license tag on its collar; showing that
the annual tax on dogs has been paid
for it by the owner of such dog. These
tags should have been issued at July
1st, 1922-but the manufacturer fail
ed to deliver them in time and it was
only last week that they arrived.
The tags can be had from the AL
derman, Edward V. HendriXson, who
is charged with their issuance for the
current year. Because of the delay in
receiving the tags, the police have
been permitting dogs to go free-but
from and after the 18th of August,
any dog found at large upon the
streets of Milford, or harbored by any
person or persons in Milford, will be
liable to capture and disposed of ac-
cording to the laws regulating the
keeping of dogs in Milford. There
are about three hundred dogs liable to
license in Milford, and the people will
have ample time to get the tags be-
| fore the 10Th of August.

Poincare Seeks
to Form Cabinet
toFollow BRAND
Sentiment in French Parlia
ment Favors Invitation to
BRAND to Resume
Power.

Paris. Jan. l3.-(By A. P)-Ray-
mond Poincare, former president OF
France, was seeking today to form
a cabinet to succeed that under Aris-
tide BRAND, which resigned yester-
day.
The manner of M. Brands dra,
matte exit, however, while on the APP
parent verge of an overwhelming
vote of confidence in the chamber OF
deputies. has caused certain reac-
ton in his flavor, and besides, NJ.
Poincare has strong opposition in
parliament. Neither is the former
president too popular with large
section of the general public.
Added to this, many members OF
parliament hold that President Mil
lerand. according to constitutional
practice, should invite M. BRAND to
resume power with another combi-
nation of ministers, inasmuch as he
was not beaten by a vote in parlia-
ment. NJ. BRAND, however, stated
to newspaper men last night that his
resignation was absolutely final. /"
In accordance with custom, the pres
ident has asked the members Of the
BRAND cabinet to conduct their de
partments until new ministry can
be formed.
NJ. Millerand and Poincare in a
conversation last night decided that
if the latter formed ministry the
conference broken off at Cannes
would be resumed by the new pre-
mier after an understanding had been
reached between the heads Of the
governments of the allied powers.

Grand Jury Can Meet
Any Time, Court Holds

Lincoln, Jan. l3.-(Special. The
Nebraska supreme court ploWeG
through numerous technicalities OF
the law today and issued an opinion
that district Judges may call a grand
Jury at any time when in their opinion
public welfare and justice demand
it.
This point came up in the appeal
Of Lewis ]. Pinn, convicted in kear-
ney county on a perjury charge
growing out of grand jury indict-
ment. Pinn's attorneys declared
the conviction was illegal because
the jury was called during a district
court term and declared that tech
nicality of the law states il could
only be called at the beginning OF
term.
The Lincoln grand jury, recon-
mended by Attorney General Davis
in October, was delayed by Lancast-
er county judges because of this
technicalitv and was not called until
opening OF the January term.

Plattsmouth Losing Out
on Fines. Due to State Law

Plattsmouth, Neb., Jan. 13.-(Spe-

more than ono justice of peace be-
ing elected or appointed in cities
OF Plattsmouth's size is costing. the
city neat sum monthly in fines.
When Judge M. Archer. veteran po-
lice magistrate, became i'll some
weeks ago, the matter OF an addi-
tional appointment was laid before
the county commissioners. In the
meantime city cases were being tried
before the county judge and fines
reverting to the county. Now that
the law has been found adverse to
such action, the only solution lies
in securing the resignation Of Judge
Archer, which has not been forth
coming, or to continue the trial of
cases before the county judge until
the expiration of Mr.. Archer's term,
nearly a year hence.

Congress Favors
Drastic Action
in Packer Strike
Efforts to End Walkout by
Arbitration Determined
Upon at Conference
Held in Washington.

Washington, Jan. l3.-Efforts TO
bring about government arbitration
of the strike of packer employees
were determined upon at confer
ence attended by about 50 representa-
tives in congress. Representative
Knutson of Minnesota announced
after the meeting that IF the efforts
to bring about arbitration should
prove Intellectual, drastic action by
congress would follow"
Congressman from all sections of
the country and representing all in
terests, Mr.. Knutson said, expressed
themselves as favoring government
action in connection with the strike
and committee was named to wait
on Secretaries DAVIS, Hoover and
Wallace to take up the matter with
them. This committee includes Rep
resentativcs Keller of Minnesota,
chairman; Haugen of Iowa, Knut-
son of Minnesota, Reavis of Ne
braska, Nolan of California, SABBATH
of Illinois, Oldfield of Arkansas.
KIeczka of Wisconsin and Woodruff
of Michigan.
"A number of those present." Mr..
Knutson declared, Commented upon
the Inconsistency of the packers in
opposing arbitration. 1t was recalled
that in 1917, when labor was scarce
and the market active, the packers
requested the government to inter-
cede in similar circumstances, with
satisfactory results. But now that
the problem OF unemployment is
acute, they refuse to arbitrate."
