JEWISH NEW YEAR CELEBRATED
Those in Smyrna Go to Philadelphia
to Attend Services in the SynagOgues

Those in Smyrna Go to Philadelphia
to Attend Services in the SynagOgues
Rosh Hashana the Jewish New
Year began Monday evening, and will
be observed until sunset this evening.
The business places of the Smyrna
residents have been closed, most all of
them going to Philadelphia to spend
the holidays. The Jewish New Year
dates from the Biblical account of the
Creation, which indicates that the in
coming year is the 5684th since the
world began. On Rosh Hashana
greetings are exchanged among
friends and kindred, and household
ties are knit more firmly. New Years
cards are sent to friends and rela-
tives. In many cases kilograms are
sent to dear ones conveying best wish
es for a year of health and happiness.
In Reform congregations one day is
devoted to the New Year observance,
while in the Orthodox synagogue two
days are given to it. The blowing of
the shofar or rams hOTn-SOmetimes
represented by a cOrnet nowadays
symbOlizes the fact that man is called
to judgment before his God, remem-
bering the nature of his deeds during
the last year, and is penitent. Rosh
Hashana and the Day of Atonement,
which will be observed ten days later
have a unique hold upon Jewish peo-
pie throughout the world. Biblical
scholars maintain that Rosh Hashana
was instituted after the time of Ezra
Naturally the holy day underwent
changes of Interpretation and mode Of
observance throughout the centuries
At no time, however, did it resemble
the celebration which ushers in the
| secular New Year.

rants Issued for Everett Bevans,

Renewed efforts were made at Po-
comoke City, Saturday, to put a stop
to the reign of outlawry which cul-
minated last month in the burning of
the home of the Rev. ]. R. Bicking,

Smyrna and Clayton fire companies
were called out shortly after one
o'clock Thursday morning to the resi-
dence of Charles Urian on the N. j..
Williams farm near "Seven HickOr-
ies", west of Brenford and gave the
best service at their command, but the
barn, cow shed and other outbuildings
were too far gone by the time they
got there, to save. Fortunately the
stock and whatever implements were
available, were gotten out. Mr.. Urian
had just stored his crop of hay and
it is believed that spontaneous COM

ted in the loft where this hay had
been stored. The horses and cows,
fortunately were either out in the
field or had been gotten out by the
time the fire companies arrived. The

Mr.. Fisher added that the speed

Lower Quotations From Liv-

Factor

Chicago, June 1.-The crop condi
tions generally suspicious for grow
tn the wheat market underwent a
material decline today i'm early deal
ings. Lower quotations at Liverpool
acted as contributing bearish fac
tor. On the other hand although
announcement that commission
houses were to report to the Sec
rotary of Agriculture accounts long
or short one million bushels or more
was construed in some quarters as
implying that accounts of less than
one million bushels are too small to
be Objectionable. Such views fail
ed, apparently, to have any bullish
result. Opening prices which ranged
from unchanged figures to 1-2 cent
lower with July S1.13 1-2 to S113 7-S
and September 81 13 to $1.13 IA were
followed by decided drop all a
round.
Subsequently liquidating sales to-
day together with lack of aggressive
buying led to sharp further declines
in price. An estimate that the 1923
domestic crop would total only z
100000 bushels. less than last year S
harvest, had considerable bearish eff
feet. The close was heavy, 2h cents
to AS cents net lower. with July 100

$1.O9B.

After a Bad Split They Now
Are Bidding For The

Chicago, June Now comes Pat
Moran and his Cincinnati Reds. The
Reds aren't exactly emulating the
Brooklyn Robins in their own league

Americans since Cincinnati was pre-
season rated as likely combination.
But having begun woefully the pres
ent burst of the Reds is notable.
Bad weather aided other teams in
beating down the Reds, but within
/the last week or so they seem to have
found themselves. In winning their
third straight victory over Chicago,
yesterday, 3 to 2, Cincinnati advanced
to fifth place, two points within St.
Louis insecure hold in the first di-
vision.
Brooklyn kept on its winning form,
trouncing Boston 5 to 2, anud keeping
ahead of the St. Louis Cardinals who
met Pittsburgh and won, to l. The

his third game out of seven yester-.
day, beating the Philadelphia Quak-

feat on Memorial Day they slipped

1T was rather reassuring to re-

ut is also intere sting to know that
the March tax collections in North
Dakota, were about 100000 heav-
Ter and that the state treasurer's
balance is about $1.5O0,0O0 in eX-
cess of what it was last year. There

Every time he went down, I'd lean

straight right, and down he went
to stay down.
