BOYS AND GIRLS PLAN
FOR KENT.SUSSEX FAIR
Children Will Be Given Greater Op-
pOrtUnity To Demonstrate Training

Boys and girls clubs Of Delaware,
working under the direction of club
leaders of the extension department
Of the University of Delaware, are
planning to have a splendid exhibit
at the Kent-Sussex Fair which
comes along the last of July. Mem
bers from all three counties will
participate and fifteen sections have
been set aside in the exhibition
building for the use Of the Boys and
Girls Clubs.
1t is the idea Of the club leaders
not to have so many set demonstra-
tions this year. In prior years var
ious boys and girls have been Sc
lected for specific exhibition work
and the effect has become more or
less artificial.
This year, instead of having spe-
cial ones picked for the work, a boy
or girl will be asked by the leader
to demonstrate some of the work, the
demOnstrator apparently being
picked at random, and in this way
all the members will have a share
in the honors and all must be pre-
pared or else admit they cannot do
demonstration work.

THE CUB OF A WOLF

Rin-Tin-Tin, the Wonder Dog"
comes to the Weaver Theatre on
We'd, Dec. 80, in his new Warner
Bros. photoplay, Tracked in the
Snow Country"
The new picture is similar in gem
eral character to where the North
Begins" tn ethriller that brought
the dog actor to stardom. The cast
includes June Marlowe, David But
Ter, Mitchell Lewis, Charles Sellon
and Princess Lea.
The story, by Edward Meagher,
concerns a VOLTS cub, who is adopt
ed by Silent Hardy, an old prospec-
tor (Charles Sellon). Hardy has dis
covered gold mine, but he keeps its
location secret to safeguard it
against maurauders. One night he
draws map of it for the informa-
tion Of his daughter, Joan (June
aMrlowe) That night he is found
dead, cruelty murdered, with the
marks of a VOLTS teeth upon him.
Joan and her sweetheart, Terry
Moulton David Butler), are con-
vinced that Rin-Tin-Tin, now grown
to his full strength, was the man
killer. But the wolf-dog alone knows
the real criminal. Chained to a post,
he has seen Jules Renault (Mitchell
Lewis), batter the old prospector to-
death.
Hunted by Joan and Terry, Rim
Tin-Tin returns to the wolves from
whom he was bred He, in turn,
hunts Jules Renault to exact ven
geance for the death Of Silent Hardy.
He tracks the murderer at last to
the gold mine
Jules has obtained the map show
ing the location of the mine from
Joan, after attacking her in her cab
in Joan gets Terry, and the pair
also follow Renault's track. When
Terry enters the gold mine he finds
and Renault in a fur
ious battle; the dogs teeth against
the mans knife.
'Tn kill you as killed your mas
teri" Terry hears the murderer cry,
as he wrestles with the dog on the
brink of a dep we'll.
Rin-Tin-Tin Is tumbled into the
well in the scuffle, and Renault turns
to face Terry. whom he oyercomes in
a desperate fight.
How the dog escapes from the
well and tracks Renault to death
forms the climax of the picture.

Governor Brewster spoke at Rocka
land as follows:
Forty percent increase in traf-
fic over the Bath ferry in June is a
very good indication of the results
flowing from the development cam
paign that is going on. This Is the
increase shown over June of a year
ago and is one of the best barometers
as to the traffic that is traversing
our state. In addition to the en-
couragement this gives to redoubling
our efforts at this time. these figures
also indicate so much the more force
fully the need of a bridge across the
surance that the bridge will easily
pay for itself in a much shorter
time than was contemplated in the
figures which the Legislature con-
sidered last winter.
The success of the Governors
Conference is attracting attention to
Maine and the tremendous direct and
indirect benefits accruing from the
hospitality extended over 1000 Bust
ness and Professional Women Of the
country this past week shows the
possibilities that are at hand. The
women of Maine who secured and
entertained this convention are en-
titled to our lasting gratitude both
for their successful labors and their
inspiring example.
