McAllister as trustee of the bankrupt
estate of 3. sSebor, doing business as

the sum of $500 when a better offer of
$3.50 had been made, and asks the
court to serve notice upon Mr. Nc
Allister to show cause why he should
not be removed from the trusteeship
This proceeding is said to have been
the cause of an encounter which took
place on the fourth floor of DOWN

tween Mr.. Lischkoff and Mr.. McAIlis-
ter. 1t is said that the men came to
blows when they met. However,
neither one was hurt other than poss-
IDLY few slight bruises, and no re-

SHALL WE LET THE
SYCAMORES DIE FOR
WANT OF ATTENTION?

There is an old saying that if you drive
copper nail into a sycamore tree it
viii kill it.
There are about dozen nails. or more,
driven into one of the sycamore trees in
front of the Court House, and there are
many other nails driven into the other
trees along that row. All you have to
do is TO look little close and you will
find them.
a few days ago The Journal called
attention to the fact that the sycamores
in front of the Court House are dying.
All anybody has to do now is to look
for himself.
Unless something is done about it, soon
all the petitions in the world will not
save the sycamore trees. They will be
dead. And they seem to be the only
ones in Pensacola that are not flourish
ing. Strange, isn't it?

thousand knights Templar, we would.
have been in sore straits had it not

We get it every time we call.
Back in the FLU" epidemic, I was

handled the situation and know the
facts. On the morning. that we took
charge we found that nurses and other
help were not purchasable because
our whole country was in the same
fix. But a phone call to the command

King his director, and Edmund Could
ing, the scenario writer, conferred ali
one night with Mr.. Hergesheimer and
gave him an insight into the thorough
ness with which a story is considered
and viewed from all angles before 1t
is adapted for the screen.
The mountaineers are intensely re-
ligious," said Mr. Barthelmess, and
the Bible is their favorite literature
We soon learned that in his idea of
David, the author had in mind the
biblical story OF David and Goliath.
The chief villain in the story is a giant
and it viii be recalled that the the
biblical story David slew him.
1--WE We're fortunate in having Mr..
Hergesheimer with us during the
filming of the story. as he picked out
the locations and was OF great as
slstance in aiding US in getting the
local color
Mr.. Hergesheimer had said that he
would only spend a couple of days on
location with the company. However,
he bacame so interested, that he was
there virtually throughout the entire
filming of the story in the Virginia
mountains.

Governor Asks All to
Fight Liquor Traffic

Governor Denney has issued a proc
lamatiOn designating the period from
Sunday, April %, to Saturday, April
20, as law enforcement week in Della
ware.
After calling attention to the nee
essity for law enforcement the proc
lamation says:
within the last three years our
people have undertaken the difficult
task of enforcing the prohibition
amendment by Federal and State
statutes. The prohibition legislation,
unconstitutional and statutory, was
enacted because of the nationwide
protest against the manifest evil that
attended the traffic and indulgence in
intoxicating liquors.
"The illicit sale of liquor is too pre-
valent. Therefore, earnestly appeal to
all citizens of Delaware to give the
laws, particularly the prohibition
laws, their support in a whole heart
ed and determined way. The task of
law enforcement is worthy of our best
endeavOrs. To that end 1 hereby des-
ignate Sunday, April %, and ending
Saturday, April 20, 1922, to be known
as Law Enforcement Week.
Let us during that week cOncen-
trate our best efforts, spiritually and
to encourage and assist
those whose duty it is to enforce the
laws in our State and nation, and as
an aid thereto 1 suggest that apprO-
pirate services and exercises be held
in our churches, schools and public
