THE ITALIAN SOCIAL CLUB

On Sunday afternoon, February 18th,
and their families gathered at the
Trieste Hotel, on East Taylor avenue,
to celebrate the granting of the clubs
charter, with a luncheon and dance.
This was the first celebration of the
Italian Social Club of Wildwood, and
it was an enormous success, as shown
by the large number present.
Before the entertainment, President
Lawrence Berardelli presented the Of
fetal orator for the occasion, Charles
M. Maiorello, who outlined, in English,
the principal scope of the club, fol-
lowed by Ermett Baraldi, of Philadel-
phia, and P. Mapnoli, of Wildwood,
who spoke in Italian.
Lawyer John Bright then presented
the charter to the club, and in his
greatly a%pplauded speech, turned the
celebration into a patriotic meeting by
making the topic of his speech the
Great Emancipator, Abraham Lincoln.
After the presentation of the charter
luncheon was served and dancing fol-
lowed. The affair ended late in the
evening.
The Italian Social Club has planned
to hold similar entertainments each
month, and as the principal scope of
the club is to inspire all members to
become n~aturalized, it will extend in
vitations to men in public life to speak
to them on Americanization.
The club, in the future, will open
classes in naturalization, whereby all
members will be aided in order to pre-
them to obtain their naturaliza-
ton papers.
The membership Of TIE Italian So
cial Club numbers already fifty nc~1-
bers, Italians residing in wildwood
and vicinity. A drive will shorty be
to increase its membership.

Wildwood Firemen Give
I'd Annual Minstrel Show

The second annual minstrel show
for the benefit of the wildwood Fire
men packed the high school audito-
rum to the doors. The enthusiasm
of the crowd proclaimed it to be the
best, even better than last year.
The opening of the show was aug
mented by Buds Orchestra, led by
Mayor w. COPYRIGHT Smith, and the
sweet strains of the music and beauti-
full singing was all that could be de-
sired.
The chorus did themselves credit,
but, as usual, the end men took the
house by storm with their funny antics
and jokes. Bob Latimer, Bill Smith,
Lynn Forcum and Harry Heating were
the end men who manufactured the
fun to keep the audience in a good
humor.
Bob Latimer brought tears of joy
to the eyes of the audience with his
song, when Frances Dances with
Me-" Bob danced around like a twelve
year old girl with steps that some of
the older girls would like to acquire.
The vaudeville was very good. The
Wildwood Plectra Orchestra, COM
posed of Frank w. Robinson Director;
Miss Margaret Hoffman and Frank w.
Robinson, first mandolins; Miss Helen
Peters and Herbert Hoffman, second
m%andolins; Miss Mildred Peoples,
tenor banjo; Miss Julia Hoffman, Will
%Pendlebury and P. Viola, guitars;
Master Herbert Hoffman, trap, and
Fred Helsengren, pianist, rendered
several sections which showed good
training. The six song birds, Coun-
tiss, Hoffman, Smith, Childs, Fisher,
Bloomell and Cunningham in a burst
of jazz, covered themselves with glory.
Latimer and Heating, in fifteen min
utes with the homefolk merited the
prolonged applause.
Lou Harrison gave a pleasing rem
dition of Garden of the Gods" in his
pleasing tenor voice.
Charles Childs sang "Davy Jones
Locker" in a deep base voice.
Garden of My Heart" vas sung in a
sweet baritone voice by Horace Burk
The other numbers which deserve
mention were: Opening Chorus, echo
of the Chimes; Carolina Rolling
Stone" Ed Countiss; That's How
Believe in You," Elmer Bloomell
Comic Song by Harry Heating; I'll
Get You Some Day." Herbert Hoffman
bid Me to Love-" Clifford Fisher.
The hit of the evening was Crumbs
of Happiness" sung by Walter Beers
and Miss Margaret Gracely, of North
Wildwood. Miss Gracely has a fine
voice and she made quite a hit. Mr.
Beers would sing the Introductory and
from a distance a childish voice sang
the chorus. She was encored several
times.
Bill Smith was a scream singing
"Ma." When he opened his mouth,
which seemed to be about two feet
wide, to say MA" the crowd was
convulsed with laughter.
The circle consisted of A. Henrick,
H. Mount, P. Esling, G. Marsh, w. Cole,
1. Kirkwood, M. Schellenger, B. Thomp-
son, c.. Nickerson, w. Hogan, H.
Trueax, M. Belasco.
The closing number, a skit entitled
Ladies Night at the Fire House"
was another side-splitting farce from
the rise of the curtain until the final
drop.

MANAGER HUFF EXPLAINS SATUR-
DAY NIGHTS GAME

To the Basketball Fans of Wildwood:
1t has been brought to my attention
that some fans are continually pass
ing unpleasant remarks about the
w. A. c. players, especially the Satur-
day night affair.
/ wish to bring to the attention of
these certain mes with the hammer in
their hand that the affair Saturday
night was not the fault of Delaney. |
watched the game closely and this
nan Strause was continually playing
Tom dirty throughout the game, after
being warned by Delaney to let that
be the last jab. He came right back
and did the same thing. There wasn't
a man that saw the game that would
have taken all the tripping, elbow jabs,
the hipping and all those dirty tricks
hat wouldn't have done the same
thing.
AS for Warrington and Sheehan, l
can't see where they were in the
wrong, their thought was when the
other men came running in that they
were going to strike, naturally they
protected themselves.
l do not intend to encourage fighting
in basketball games, because l think
it kills the game; but these things
come UP. when the other fellow looks
for it, and it is hard to prevent it,
especially in a close and fast game as
that on Saturday night with the Phila-
delphia Independents.
There is one more point l would
like to bring before the fans, and that
is the w. A. c. players do not receive
any salary like most of the teams do
they merely play for the sport and to
make it possible to have basketball in
Wildwood to pass away the long win
ter months. Therefore certain ones
should take in consideration these
facts and help to encourage the play.

Dover Congregation See Two in Robes
of ku Klux Klan Enter and Disappear
Leave a Note on the Pulpit

Two white-robed figures bearing.
the insignia of the Ku Klux Klan en-
tered the Peoples Christian Church at
Dover, during the services in that
church Sunday night and marching up
the aisle, placed an envelope on the
pulpit. Without speaking a word the
two figures then turned and marched
down the aisle again, out of the front
door and disappeared. At the time the
large congregation was standing sing
ing a hymn. Everyone in the church
looked on with amazement as the two
figures marched up the aisle and plac-
ed the envelope on the pulpit. No eff
fort was made to detain them as they
marched out of the church. When the
hymn was concluded, the minister
opened the envelope and read the fol-
lowing note:
Rev R. c. Helfenstein. d. D., please de-
liver this amount of money, S31, to the per-
son whose name you will find enclosed We
understand a certain family in our town is in
heed ana we desire as an organization to make
this contribution toward its support" Signed
knights Ku Klux Klan, Dover, Del
People in the church were so sur
prised that they did not attempt TO
stop the men or seek their identity.
The two figures in white simply
marched into the church and out again
silently. There have been no develop
ments, but the incident is the talk of
the town and revives the stories last
summer regarding the existence of the
Ku KluX Klan there. The incident
has created a furry among the church
folks. Some resent such intrusion as
near sacrilegiOus while others praise
the Klan for its charitable mission.
Dover was the first community in the
State to organize branch of the in
visible empire and despite its collapse
throughout the country the Dover Klan
is said to be in fourishing condition.

SUSSEX BOYS PRETTY ROMANCE
Captain S. L. Layton, Nephew of Con-
gressman Layton, Weds French Nurse

Captain S. L. Layton, Nephew of Con-
gressman Layton, Weds French Nurse
Announcement has been received
here of the marriage of Captain S.
Leroy Layton, of Frankford, Sussex
county, and Mile. Clothilde Marie
Ozange, Paris, France, at Long Beach,
Cal, January %. Captain Layton is
well known here, being the son of John
H. Layton, formerly a prohibition
agent in Wilmington, and a nephew
of Caleb R. Layton, Representative in
Congress. The marriage is the out
come of romance which began when
the gallant captain" was overseas
and the young woman was serving in
the American Red Cross near the front
line. Mile. Ozange was at school in
Berlin when the war started and was
detained as a civil prisoner for three
months. Following her release and re-

RUSH TO PAY $500 FILING FEE
women as Well as Men Who Are
Il Years of Age and Over Must
Comply With the NeVO Inv

1here is more or less protest and
general activity among the citizens of
Smyrna and vicinity to make their IN
come tax returns and pay the $500
ming fee before the time limit expires
March 18th. Women as we'll as men
must pay the filing fee and these last
days before March 18th find consider
able activity here preparing their re-
turns as well as in all parts of the
state. Those who look at the matter
senslbly are not Objecting to paving
the filing fee for the benefit of our
schools, but real estate owners in par-
ticular would like this payment to be
made at the time they pay their other
taxes and not be annoyed with so
many collecting periods. General sur
prise is being expressed by hundreds
married men with families in MAKING
out their State income tax returns. on
learning that there is no exemption
under the present law for children.
This law which carries with it the So
hllng fee to be paid by every adult
OAii@ VI Vic OIdIe WAS passed DV
the Legislature last year. The prev
ious law in this respect was the same
as the Federal law, allowing a 5000
exemption for each child. Under the
new law, however, this exemption has
been cut out. The head of a family is
allowed a general exemption of $4,000
and single persons an exemption of
$1,000. For the first $4,000 on which
tax is paid one per cent. is charged
under the present State law; from
$4,000 to $4,000, two per cent. is
charged and above 10000 the tax is
3 per cent. The State income tax re-
turnsmust be made by March Is to
State Tax Commissioner M. Howard
Jester, the same date as for Federal
returns, and each man or woman of
q years and upwards, whether or not
he or she had enough income to be
taxable must pay a filing fee of So.
There has been general dissatisfaction
over the So filing fee, and the late-day
discovery that no exemption can be
made for children by parents has
added to the feeling against the new
State Income Tax Law.

inquiries as to the attitude of
United States Senators T. Coleman du-
Pont and L. Heisler Ball and Congress
man Caleb R. Layton in the matter
of the soldier bonus which is being
considered by Congress, disclosed the
fact that Senator dupont and Con-
gresham Layton were unalterablv op-
posed to the bonus, and Senator Ball
was non-committal. Senator dupont
says: Il am in favor of a fair. iusr
and liberal bonus for any one who was
IN any way incapacitated in serving
IN the war In any capacity but am un-
alterably opposed to a bonus for any
one not injured. Do not think we
should pay for duty of patriotism,
and chance to serve ones country
and humanity should be a welcomed
privilege" Senator Ball says: "My
attitude toward the proposed bonus
Tor former service men depends en-
tlrely on the form in which the bonus
Legislation is presented to the Senate.
That is all | care to say at this time"
Congressman Caleb R. Layton said he
did not think it necessary, in defining
his attitude, to add to his recent
statement in which he said: "I desire
to say that | do not approve of a
bonus to the soldier at a time when
the country is staggering under such
load of taxes as to make readiust-
ment almost impossible. Even though
it is more than three years since the
close of the war, to add to the exist
ing burden by a bonus, would injure
the recipients themselves, their fam
lilies and the public generally. l favor
the most generous appropriation for
those who were injured in the service
and for the dependents of those who
died in the service. l believe at this
time that the soldier boy who was un-
injured by that service should enlist
in the exigencies of war for the good
of his country"

MOTORIST SHOT FROM AMBUSH
Coming From Selbyville to George
tOwn-Demented Person Suspected

Shot mysteriously while, driving be-
tween Selbyvile and Georgetown,
George H. Howard, of Wilmington,
was found unconscious in his car Sun
day morning. Later at the Peninsula
Hospital, Georgetown, he told the au-
thorities some one fired on him from
a clump of trees, the shot striking him
in the fleshy part of the arm. He
speeded away, but loss of blood made
him unconscious before he could reach
town. The authorities, remembering
two similar attacks on automobilists
in this county in the last five weeks,
believe the shooting is being done by
demented man. A search in the vicin-
ity of the shooting revealed a rude hut
in the clump of trees from which How
ard said the shot was fired. Recently
the Rev. Farley Parks was fired upon
on the same road. Only two weeks
ago a shot struck the windshield of
Seaford farmers auto. His wife,who
was on the front seat with him, was
cut by the flying glass. According to
those who have been attacked, the one
who fired the shot made no attempt to
show himself after the shooting.

FARMERS BUREAU NEW CASTLE
POOLS ORDERS FOR RESULTS
WILL GET THE CERTIFIED SEED
POTATOES FROM NEW YORK
And Thru the Eastern States Farmers
Exchange Will Get Their Fertili-
zers-TO Grow More Soy Beans

Members of the executive committee
OF the New Castle County Farm Bu-
reau met Saturday afternoon in the
directors room in the Security Trust
and Safe Deposit COmpany's building
IN Wilmington for their monthly
meeting, and in the absence of the
president, c. P. Dickey, of Stanton.
the vice-president presided. In his
report County Agent R. o. Bausman
announced that during the month of
February meetings had been held in
the following communities: Kirkwood,
Marshallton, Odessa, Bear, Hockessin,
Fairview, Newark, Stanton, Newport.
Townsend, Mt. Pleasant. At each of
these gatherings a program of work
for 1922 was adopted. Among the
chief projects decided upon was the
question of certified seed potatoes. A
committee composed of Frank F.
Yearsley, of Marshallton; John c.
Mitchell, of HOckessin; C. P. Dickey,
of Stanton, and Frank Silver, of Bear.
was appointed to secure a shipment of
certified seed potatoes from New York
state and guaranteed to be free from
disease and of high producing va
riety.
Dairymen to Grow More Soy Beans
Another line of work incorporated
in these several community programs
for the current year is the stimulating
of farmers in the growing of more SOW
beans. The plan is to hold several
demonstrations in each community
throughout the country showing the
value of the soy bean hay as a rough
age in the production of milk. 1t is
the cOncensds of opinion among farm
ers and dairymen that not until the
farmers come to growing higher class
roughage will they be able to produce
milk economically. 1t was emphasized
that New Castle county should pro-
duce more pork, but that not until a
better stock has been secured will the
pork industry be successful A COM
mittee was appointed to meet within a
short time to plan for a shipment into
this county of carload of pure bred
sows. 1t is thought that from this
start many pure bred herds will be
developed.
John ID. Reynolds Heads Committee
j. D. Reynolds, of Middletown,
chairman of the State fertilizer COM
mittee, reported that Delaware had
entered into an agreement with the
Eastern States FarrnarS, Evohanuo
of Springfield, Mass, through which
Delaware's fertilizer order will be |
pooled. This plan gives the Delaware
farmers the advantage of the success
full experience and the volume of the
business done by this, exchange.

JOLLS WINS OUT OVER DAVIS
His Name Sent to Senate for the
POstmastership of MiddletOwn

IOStHdSteTSnip OF NlQQleIOWn
The recommendation of Senator l.
Heisler Ball was followed by the Post
Office Department in naming the post
master at Middletown, when the ap-
pointment of John ]. Jolls was sent
to the Senate Thursday for post
master of that town. Congressman
Layton recommended J. C. Davis,
son-in-law of Mrs. Joseph H. Prim-
rose, formerly of Smyrna, for the
Middletown office. The appointment
of the Middletown postmaster had
been pending for some time, and it
was not known who would be named,
until the name of Mr.. Jolls was sent
to the Senate. Representative Lay
ton would make no comment on the
nomination of Mr.. Jolls. Mr.. Jolls,
the new postmaster, is a son of
Joseph c. Jolls, and former deputy
register in chancery of New Castle
county. The Middletown office is in
New Castle county, in which Senator
Ball resides. Congressman Layton has
cOntended that the appointment of
postmasters in Delaware towns is a
prerogative of the Congressman, and
not of the Senators, but Senators
Ball and dupont, it is understood, do
not agree with DIR. Layton in his
attitude. Whether the appointment
of Mr.. Jolls is a recognition of the
Senatorial right to name postmasters
in rural towns of Delaware, or merely
a recognition of the right of a Sena-
tor to name postmasters in his own
county is question to be answered
by subsequent appointments.
