contribution he has made to human
kind in spite of I'll health. Frank
Davis. author, has made his name
familiar to a nation that loves cour-
age such as his. While he was a
young newspaper reporter, sailing to
meet Perry as the explorer returned
from the North Pole, Mr.. Davis
slipped on tossing deck-in storm
off the coast of Labrador-and SER
iously injured his spine. tuberculosis
of the injured vertabrae resulted, and
for many years Mr.. Davis was a help

An operation, in which a piece of
the shank bone was grated to the
spine, and the determination of a
man not to lose his fight, finally
won the writer's long struggle for
health. In spite of his handicap Mr..
Davis has won a foremost place in
American journalism, and has brought
fame to San Antonio through the rec
ignition given his work by the press.

APPLE CROP BEING HARVESTED
More Than Four Hundred Cars Have
Been Shipped From Wyoming

The crop of early apples in central
and lower Delaware is at its height
and the fruit is coming in so fast
that it has far exceeded the eXpecta-
tions of the brokers and buyers. The
heavy picking started towards the end
of last week and has continued all this
week. Wyoming is the center of the
largest shipments in this State. AL
most seven hundred car loads have
been shipped out of lower Delaware SO
far and of this amount over four hun
dred cars have been shipped from Wy
oming. For the past week, with the
exception of Monday, an average of
fifty cars per day have been shipped
from Wyoming.
Tuesday was perhaps the largest
day thus far at the Wyoming station
when fifty-five cars were sent out.
Each morning at Wyoming the wag-
ons and trucks bringing apples for
shipment are stretched from the rail
road back as far as the Caesar Rod
ney School house.

FELTON, BULL ON RAMPAGE
Seriously Attacks Woman After it
Escapes From Truck in Wilmington

While a large HOlstein bull, belong
ing to Harry Greenberg of Felton,was
being taken to the Wilmington Pro-
vision Company, Thursday afternoon,
it jumped out Of the truck in which
it was stationed, while it was stand
ing on the loading dock at the foot
Of Orange street, and plunged into the
Christiana river. A rope was attach
ed to a ring in its nose and the men
on the wharf in an effort to get the
animal on shore drew the rope, which
pulled the ring through the nose Of
the bull. This enraged the animal
and it swan across the river and went
up on the causeway. Mrs. J. William
Lee, of 1892 Fillmore street, Frankford
Philadelphia, who had come down
from her home with Mr.. Lee, who was
attending to some business with the
Joseph Beste & Sons Company, tallow
manufacturers, was sitting outside of
the office reading a paper. The bull,
seeing her, made a dash for her, toss
ing her a distance Of ten feet. Be
fore the infuriated beast could attack
the PROSTATE woman it was driven off
by her husband and other men who
were making attempts to capture it.
A passing automobile took Mrs. Lee
to the Delaware Hospital where it was
found she was suffering from severe
decorations Of the body.
Following the attack on Mrs. Lee
the bull was chased through Weldin's
lumber yard and after it had torn
down part of an old stable in it's fight
was cornered near the U. S. Engineer
ing Depot. State Policeman Workman
ended the animals life with pistol
| shots.
Mr.. and Mrs. Lee had come from
Philadelphia partly on a pleasure trip
but it turned out to be almost a
tragedy.

At Wyoming, three brokers, Hart

S. J. Speal, are kept busy handling
the fruit. The sudden influx of the
fruit caused them double duty in dis

MIDDLETOWN FIREMEN TAKE
IN OVER S12,6OO At CARNIVAL
OF THIS AMOUNT THEY HOPE TO
CLEAR OVER 100000
The Automobile Alone Melted the
Firemen $4,000 - Ohio Man Wins
the Chrysler Automobile

Despite the fact that inclement
weather prevailed on several nights,
this years Firemen's Carnival, at
MiddletOwn, which closed Tuesday ev-
ening of last week, was a decided |
financial success. The gross receipts |
tOtalling $12,643.88, exclusive of the |
merry-gO- gO-rOund, was second only to |
the banner year of 1923 when the |
gross receipts amounted to over $15,- |
600. The net profit on the Chrysler
sport roadster, which was won by
Herschel G. Holland, of Cleveland,
Ohio, was $3300.74, the most local
carnival has ever cleared on a car. 1t
is difficult to estimate the amount
lost due to the rainy weather that pre-
vailed on Wednesday evening, July 15
the date of the Firemen's Parade. 1t
is quite possible that this loss cost
them at least $4,000 in gross receipts
and the other rainy nights may have
meant as much to them.
However, the figures which have
been compiled are highly gratifying
and bear testimony to the efforts of
those who contributed to the carni-
walls success. Much praise is due all
those who so tirelessly managed and
operated the various booths and es-
pecially the members of the Fire
mems Band, who not only gave us en-
tertaining music but also assisted in
other work associated with the carni-
val at every opportunity. As has been
the custom, everyone worked for the
mutual interest of the community
with the aforementioned gratifying
results. The success of the carnival
is a fitting monument to their gener-
Gus service and patronage.
The following lists give in concise
form the persons to whom the num-
erous prizes were given as well as the
receipts from the various departments
of the carnival: Congoleum Rug, Mrs.
f. c. Wilmington; Registered HOl-

The original Passion Play" given
every 10 years by the people of
Freiberg, Baden. since 1854 and
filmed for the first time at its last
enactment, will be shown at the
Washington Auditorium next week,
starting Monday.
In many ways il is said to be
unique. Its actors are humble people
whose daily work is clock and toy
making or tiiling the fields. Its
roles are passed down from parent
to child-the roles of Christus and
Judas, played by Adolph and George
Fassnacht, brothers, have been played
by three generations of F'assnachts.
These people give their services as
d devout Offering, and perhaps for
this reason their acting is so con-
vincinely realistic.
Because the Auditorium could be
obtained for only one week and be-
cause Of the universal appeal of this
great spectacle's theme, special
matinees are arranged for Monday,
the 2Sd, and Saturday, the 2sth. a 20
piece orchestra, great choral embel-
