On Sunday motr.iT?. speaicmg upoa fiio subject, "Tri3 rcnnc-iment ot Life," the young minister delivered n imnressive sermon, his remarks being based on the tenth verse of the tenth chapter of the Gospel of John. He spoke in part as follows: , "The coming of Christ has given us a new conception of greatnes. Be fore the coming of Christ into tne torld, the possession of wealth, the folding of political power, or unusual gifts of intellect were looked upon as tie true indications of greatness. "But now the world has come to place a different measure upon the claims of a man to be called great, Sore and more do we realize the fact Jiat the truly great man is one who ierves and loves and ..lives for his naster and his fellow man. "A vivid realization of this fact was brought to me in reading : Captain Dawson's book, 'Carry On. . Captain Dawson left New-T ork, where his suc cess as a novelist and his brilliant Sifts of intellect had won him large popularity and a comfortable place among the literary" lights of the day, and enlisted in the Canadian army. He fought through the most gruel ling stages of the first year of the war, serving net himself, not his own coun try, but doing his bit to free the vorld from the plague of autocracy. "He found that in losing oneself in a-great cause, suffering, and if need be, dying, in serving the great cause vhich he had espoused, was the high est joy and the deeuest satisfaction. He has discovered the great truths uat Christ has been teaching the orid since his life of devoted serv ice and devoted ministry ended on uivarv. "This change in the thinkinsr of the world has been brought about by a, rich, though poor for our sakes. (Continued onPage Seven). Members;; of -thepounty and -City Exemption boards have had conferred upon them badges of a distinguished servico order In the shape of hand some bronze; buttons supplied by the government designating them as int portant officers of the war machinery of the United States. The . wearing of them is required under orders from the War N Department, though the members of the local boards are mod est men and not given to the display of decorations. J . The emblem chosen is an attractive bronze button which are worn in the coat lapel. ' Upon is, are the words: "Selective Service U. S." As an in signia of 'office, all the men engaged in this work are required to wear it. In this connection a local citizen who. is familiar with Biblcal history points out that the United States did nothing new when Congress adopted the selective service system for get ting .men for the vast army of the country. This citizen points out that way back yonder in the early days of Israel - the same thing was done by Moses, as is fully recorded .in the Book of Numbers. At . that time there was conducted the first census of any people that is recorded in written history. Moses "numbered" the children of Israel. and he had a selective service sys tem, with its exemption boards, not at all unlike the very same svstem that is now selecting men for service from tne nearly 10,000,000 men be tween the ages of 21 and 31 in the United States. THE ELKS HOSPITAL committee; meets Boston, Mass., Jan. 21. A commit tee headed by John K. Tener met today to approve plans and open bids for the hospital to be erected in this city by the fraternal order of Elks. The other members of the committee- are Joseph T. Fanning, of New York; Judge Jerome B. Fisher, of Jamestown, N. Y., and James R. Nicholson, of Boston, all past exalted rulers, and Fred C. Harper, of Lynch burg, Va., exalted ruler of the order. The hospital where soldiers who have lost varms and legs will be treated and instructed in useful trades will be known as the B. P. O. E. Recon struction HospitaL No. i. MILEAGE" BOOKS MANY COAL TRAINS TO THE TIDEWATER Pottsville, Pa., Jan. 21. More trains were started for tidewater in the last 36 hours than were moved in a sin gle week of the coal shortage, ac cording to railroad men. At least 5,000 cars, their capacity ranging from 50 to 20 tons, railroad Officials estimate, are strung out along the mining districts. IBoth the Pennsylvania and Reading roads gave coal trains the right , of way over passenger traffic yesterday. The Lehigh Valley road cancelled all Sunday passenger traffic on branch lines. An embargo -on passenger service from two to five days on branch lines is advocated by railroad men as the most effective means of relieving the congestion. Local Club Will Enter Hearti ly in Efforts of Cam . paign , SHARE FOR CITY IS PLACED AT $1,750 Movement is one of biggest Yet 1 Undertaken To Pro vide - Entertainment for Soldiers Drafted into service again by the forces of the government, the Rotary Clubs of the United States will next week make a success of the "Smile age" book campaign, which is consid ered one of the most important move ments yet undertaken for the enter tainment of the soldiers now serving in the training camps throughout the country. Rotary means "service" in an applied 'sense, so it was perfectly natural that the committee appointed by the Secretary of War to make this a success should nave turned to Ro tary for the work. The Wilmington Rotary Club will do its part in this, as in all other movements where it has been called for duty. Rotarians Milton Calder and L. Shrler last week attended a meeting of Rotarians at Raleigh for the pur pose of planning the work in North Carolina, and' these plans were ex plained at the regular meeting of the local club today. The decision was unanimous to throw the weight of the club behind the movement. The week beginning January 28 has been designated by the Military En tertainment " Council, appointed by Secretary of War Baker, as "Smile- age Book" week. The Military Entertainment Coun cil is a special commission appoint ed by Secretary of War Baker as a branch of the War Department Com mission on Training Camp Activities. The work of this council is to provide high-class entertainment for the off hours of the men in the uniform of the United States, now in National Guard and National Army Camps. It is the purpose of the council to present at Camp theatres now being built by the government at National Army camps, and' to be known as "Liberty Theatres," Broadway com panies in the best theatrical suc cesses of the season. Lectures of the highest excellence and. the best mu sical and vaudeville programs. ;0rdmarfly te cost of booking such attractions would be prohibitive, but the best performers and managers of the United States have met the coun cil with such patriotic cooperation as to put these productions within the reach of every soldier of the 'United States. As a result of this co-opera tion and patriotic effort the money cost of these high-class productions will range from 10 cents to 25 cents a seat. As an indication of the class of en tertainment offered, four companies have already been assigned to this field and are arranging to present in the Liberty theatres in the camps throughout the country such accept ed Broadway successes as "Turn To the Right," "Cheating Cheaters, "Here Comes the Bride," and "Inside the Lines." Other companies and stars of nation-wide reputation are volunteering to fit hemselves into the plans of the Council, as did Miss Maude Adams and William Faver- The convention of farm demonstra tion agents wbich was scheduled to begin a three days session m this city on Tuesday has been indefinitely postponed, and probably . canceled en tirely, because of . the geenral disturb ed conditions arising from the war. This information was received in a telegram to Secretary H. B. Branch, of the Chamber of Commerce, on Sun day from Mr. R. W. Freeman, who is Federal supervisor of farm agents for astern North Carolina. .This decision will be the cause of much regret in the city, where ar rangements had been made for the entertainment of 50 or more delegates and speakers for the convention. Among the plans was a big oyster roast, a trip over the famous good roads of New Hanover to some of the progressive farms of the county and a big public meeting at the Court House on Thursday afternoon that was planned to be a big boost for the raising of more hogs in this county. It may 'he that arrangements can be made for the holding of the con vention early in February, but this is not at all certain at the present time. After the first of next month the farm agents will be so busy with their work in the various counties that they will not be able to leave tor such a gathering, and it therefore appears likely that the convention will not be held at all. i few is) kite Goods and Gingham? jfrrtoed Recently Several large shipments of white goods and colored wash fabrics have been re ceived and these are merely forerunners of the ones to come Among the arrivals last week were Mikado Nainsook, 36 inches wide, priced at OF- 3c a vara. - Colonial Dame Nainsook in ten yard pieces, 36 inches wide, a special value for quick selling at $2.48 a bolt.

A WW Stock of Spring J'ilks Last Saturday morning when the water was still Pourrng down upon our silks, wetelegraphed to our New York representative to rush out the entire rder of silks. Most of these came in on Saturday ana will be shown for the first .time tomorrow TUESDAY.

J r May J3e Held at Later Date if it Can Be Ar-ranged sham as soon as these two leading ac tors heard of the "Smileage" project. Mr. Marc Klaw, possibly the greatest theatrical producer of the country, has volunteered to act on the executive committee and will have direct su pervisioh o fall theatricals which will be presented. Vaudeville bills have been assem bled by General Manager E. F. Albee, of the Keith Circuit, and the routings win be: so arranged as to prevent an unvaried succession in any camp of any one kind of entertainment. Although the money cost of these performances has been reduced to a minimum, ranging from 10 cents to 25 cents per seat, the actors prac tically volunteering, their services In this cause, it still remains that many soldiers will not be able to attend many performances even . at these prices, as thousands of them are send ing home practically all of their pay. On the other hand, practically every soldier has those at home who strong ly desire to contribute to his camp life something of wholesome and cheerful entertainment. Many big in dustrial companies are now aoing-air- ferent"xnings lor employes wno n&ve entered the service to make their Idle hours in camp more pleasing and up lifting. In order to provide a practical, in expensive way for the "folks at home' to "do their bit," the Military Enter tainment Council has originated the "Smilage Book," which contains cou pons somewhat :- similar to the Mile age Books of the railroads. These books will be sold in two sizes. In books of one size 20 cou pons will be sold for $1. In books of another size 100 coupons will be sold for $5. These coupons will be given in payment for seats at any perform ance in any Camp theatre. As gifts these "Smileage Books," whether re ceived from home, from friends or from former employer, will have distinctive character. - Every book will constitute a con necting link between the men at the front and the "folks back home and at the same time will enable many o our patriotic boys to see high . class performances which otherwise would be denied them. The outstanding idea of the Military Entertainment Council in arranging for his kind of high class entertain ment is to change a danger period in the life of a soldier into a period of healthful relaxation and refreshment. Committees have been appointed r-nd an organized, intensive effort will be made by these committees to ex plain the purpose of the "Smileage Book" campaign throughout the Uniteu .States, beginning January- 28th. The allotment of these "Smileago Books" for each city is 5 per cent, of the population; in other words, a city like Wilmington, with a population of (Continued on Page Seven). y"''MMMMiMii i Hilt; mmimmm)im Condensed Statement to the Corporation Commission of the Condition Vf t fci 5isj 5 lingjtoniSapii at the close of .business on December 31st i$17. ... .
