It might further be appropri-
ately suggested that the leader
of such a selection should LEAD

never yet been forced to get

he could no doubt employ both

to force the issue.
The secret of Nurmi's sudden
ness is that he lives in a cold
climate where you've got to run
to keep warm. The cooler it
got the sooner he ran. Some

COMEDY DRAMA AT PLAYHOUSE

"In the Near Future" a comedy
drama by Abraham Goldknopf will
occupy the stage of the Playhouse,
Wilmington, the last half Of next
week, beginning Thursday, March S.
This composition is described as a
comedy drama and is said to be re-
plete with many humorous passages
and dramatic moments Of intense
interest.
Briefly, it is intended for the pur-
pose of entertainment only and there
is no line OF demarcation between
the laughs, so fast they follow. A
famous surgeon now matured, has
devoted himself to his profession
and has gained high repute for op-
erative surgery; he has also devised
machine by which he is able to
resuscitate dying patient. He has
lived alone and love is thing apart.

How to Solve a Cross Word Puzzle
The first letter of each word is in
d1cated by a number placed in the
blank white spaces, and by referring
to the list Of words given below, you
will find the definition. For instance.
number one horizontal gives the def
1nition of a word which will fill in
all the white spaces to the first black
space at the right. Number one YER
tical gives the definition for a word
which will fill in all the white
spaces to the first black space be-
low. The black spaces indicate the
end of word, and no letter is plac-
ed in them. When completed, the
puzzle must read both horizontally
and vertically or across and down.

Dank directors have been looking
Ior a site for their bank for some-
time. According to Mr.. Moore the
greek candy kitchen being installed
IN the hotel building has lease for
nve years, but should the directors
OF the bank decide to purchase a
part OF the site it is the plan of the
new owners to raze a portion of the
noteI to make room for the bank.
Despite the fact that the hotel is
not valuable piece of property it is
situated so that it commands an ex-
ceIIent price, being located so that
you look right out on the State
highway entering the town. It is an
exceptionally large lot. The sale
takes in the hotel property and the
small Office occupied by Constable
M I. Adams. The lot has probably
$50 foot frontage on Commerce
street and probably 200 feet deep.
With the passing of this hotel Har-
rlngton which boasted of two hotels,
which were considered modern in
their time, have now gone out of ex-
lstence. Harry Moraine operates Mo-
raine's Hotel, but duesto lack of ac-
mmodatiOns can only run on a
small scale. During the past few
years however a thoroughly modern
hotel has been completed by Will
liam Swain, situated at the entrance
to Harrington. 1t will be remember !
ed that the old Delaware House was
removed and the new Reese Theatre |
now reposes on that site. From a |
progressive standpoint these two |
sales just completed are considered
to be great moves forward.

MERGER OF ROADS
TO HELP INVESTOR
Stockholders Told of Three
Ways to Handle Holdings
in NiCkIe Plate Combine.
Nv the Associated Press


NEW YORK, February 3.-Advan-
tages in the form of larger dividends
for stockholders of the Chesapeake
and Ohio. Hooking Valley, Pere Mar
quette and Erie Railroads asserting
to the unification of these roads with
the present Nickel Plate in the
Van Sweringen's projected $780,
100000 railroad consolidation were
outlined yesterday by the merger
committee in making public the terms
of the Chesapeake and Ohio and
Hooking Valley leases.
The committee pointed out that an
exchange of stocks for new Nickel
Plate" shares could be effected on
the basis of the original proposal;
that shares of the participating roads
could be withheld and participate in
dividends on the basis Of separate
rental funds, or that stock holders
could dispose of their holdings to
the Van Sweringen's at an average
market price, with the prerogative
of having the value determined by
appraisers.
Exchange Plan Best.
Dissenting stockholders while in
most cases assured of dividends bet
ter than the present rates of their
companies, will not receive as large
yield as those who exchange their
shares for those of the new road.
In the case of the Chesapeake and
Ohio, now paying per cent on the
common, the yield to exchanging
common shareholders will be sc per
cent and to dissenting hold srs per
cent Preferred stockholders now
receiving 6.5 per cent, Will get the
same dividends If they dissent to the
plan, but may increase their yield to
SO per cent by asserting and ex-
changing their shares.
Hooking Valley stock.
The return on Hooking Valley COM
mon stock, now on a ! per cent an
nual basis, will be raised to SIS per
cent for dissenting stockholders and
to 6 per cent for those who exchange.
A similar scale applies to the three
classes of Pere Marquette stock.
Because of preference and priority
features held by Erie first preferred
stock under the roads charter an in
centive is supplied to second pre-
ferred and common stockholders to
exchange their shares.
Dissenting Erie stockholders, who
have not received dividends for many
years, would participate theoretically
in the rental at the rate of So a
share for the two preferred issues and
S2.40 for the common, but distribu-
ton OF a priority basis would re-
dtce the yield on the junior issues.
