While hundreds of persons thronged the shoppingjritctiiist.nightreager to-inspecti)iei8pla;:'ndowB of the varous firms cctapetingiri the window trlnimlnffcbiittXtnAbi' being held under the auspices of "the Chamber of Commerce; it 'i doubifut if as much Interest was manifested as was on February, last when Wilmington's first window trimming contest was held. The merchants; and others who had entered the contest arranged attrac tive windows displays that will catch the eye of the average patron and hold it and these displays were Inspected carefully-' by many. -"persons' who appre ciated the novelty introduced in the get-up of many of the displays. The decorations were in all styles, all forms and in varied colors. Many were elaborate and artistiQ while oth er competitors sought to catch the eye of the judges and the crowds by their very . simplicity. Many compli mentary remarks were voiced by spec tators and the consensus of opinion is that the ; judges will experience diffi culty in naming the prize winners. Forty-three business houses of the city are competing for the prizes of fered and while all cannot win, each individual is entitled to somefhng and much credit should be riven the in dividuals wno arranged the displays tor the work done showed conclusvely that much time and effort had been given to their arrangement. The leading stores of the city are included in the number competing and the .crowds of sight-seers expected splen did displays, because these firms carry the merchandise in stock that make? it possible to arrange catchy windows. The majority of the display windows are so built as to make decorations and displays show off to advantage and this natural condition, coupled with the merchandise carried in stock and the artists' touch insured excellent displays. PACF nyri B!EH:tRIByTriSfRlilHrEilHlilp ? - V T r HUW uU YOU SPEND Delegates to The Sy nod Con -r vention Pleased With Re ; ception Given Them. : The following is taken from The Shepherds town . Register, of Shep Jierdstown, Jefferson' county, .West Virginia, and is a splendid compli ment to Wilmington and Wilmington people. It was written by a deleeate lo the recent meeting of the United Synod of the Evangelical Lutheran Church in the South, which was Jheld at St. Paul's church, and was loaned to The Dispatch by Rev. F. B. Clas sen, pastor of St. Paul's. The article which follows pays a high tribute to the reception given the delegates by Wilmingtonians and. speaks in glow ing terms of the city. It also carries a resume of the convention, which is not reproduced, in view of the fact that the sessions were covered thor oughly by the -daily press. The ar ticle follows: rtThe people of Wilmington enter tained the delegates and visitors to Synod in their homes, and offered gracious hospitality. Everything was done for the comfort and . pleasure of i their guests, and the latter thorough ly enjoyed their stay in these de lightful homes. Saturday afternoon business was suspended so that an invitation might be accepted to visit Wrightsville Beach, a popular resort on the Atlantic Ocean, twelve miles from the city, and reached by a trol ley line and a magnificent automo bile road. This is a beautiful and at tractive place, and we can readily be lieve the reports of its popularity and BACK FROM MEETING Local ' Baptist Ministers At tended the State Convention Rev. W. G. Hall,, pastor of Southside Baptist church, returned., to the city this morning from Elizabeth City, where he attended the sessions of the Baptist State Convention which ad journed today at noon, after one of the most successful sessions of its his tory. The location of Elizabeth City kept tha-attendance to a minimum, but lev. Mr. Hall announced that about 400 attended. Durham was selected as next year's meeting place after x hard fight on the part of North Wilk 3sboro for the honor, of entertaining the delegates .at the 1917 convention, but the central location of the Bull City, together with its manufacturing 3nterprises, all of which the delegates will be allowed to visit, proved too at tractive and the convention agreed to go there next year. Others to attend from this cty vere: Rev. John Jeter Hurt, D. D pastor of the First Baptist church; Rev, J. A. Sullivan, pastor .of Cav ilry Baptist church, and Messrs. John R. Hanby, D. L. Gore and L. W. Moore. These gentlemen also re turned this morning with the excep tion of Mr. Gore, who is expected this afternoon. .Mat fans are looking forward with much pleasure to tonight's match be tween Charlie Oleson and Tom Draak which is to be staged at Woolvin Hall: at 8:30 o'clock and indications are that Promoter Hanson will need all the available space he has to accomodate the many persons who will . want to witness the battle between the two giants. Giants is right, for both men weigh over 200 pounds, and both are in splendid condition for the fray. Fans saw Hanson wrestle an unknown man last Friday night and while they are ever anxious to see the popular Fritz in action his opponent of last Friday night knew too little of the game to make it interesting for Han son, far less the fans and the crowd is anxious for a real battle just such a hffht fla will Via oto rnA fhia ovonin tr All Hrp np-moH thot 11 aann inrt iraae are pretty evenly matched, which means that thP matoh will h P lengthy one. p.vpn if it flops not o three falls The ladies are beginning to attend jwol liiiw unn in a rrr rcx ri nrv tti n n v Ol thP f3lT eav tttiII x.if AviirrVi ---- CJJ.

The boycott does not hold, good in cases : of sickness or where the articles boycotted are wanted for invalids, old or infirm peo ple or infants.

The North Carolina Son -session yesterday afternoon, decided to stand with the Housewives League in its fight to reduce the high cost of living and, like the Housewives, declared a boycott on butter, eggs and cheese. The ques tion now confronting the housewives of the city is how to make cake with out the age-old ingredients, but an effort will be made to do this. The meeting was held in the Sororis club room on North Third street and was iresided ever by Miss .Margaret Gib on. It was the regular monthly meeting and a number of routine business matters were disposed of. Very little discussion of the boycott was engaged in, the members of 'this organization merely declaring they were in sympathy with the stand taken bV the Housewives' League and would do everything in their power to reduce the high cost of living. The movement against the soaring prices was started by the House wives' League on Wednesday of this week when that body met and de clared a boycott on eggs, butter and ?heese.yL was decided -at the meet ng toask the Sorosis to. lend their support to the movement and it is very gratifying to the organization laking the initial step in the matter to learn the Sorosis were so heartily in favor" With their plans. No house- vif e wishes to do without eggs and Miss Gertrude Watkins. of Lit tle Rock, Will Speak at Court House Tonight, f '.. Miss Gertrude Watkins, of Little Rock. Ark., will speak to the ladies of the city at the Sororis Club room on North Third street, this afternoon at 4 o'clock and will deliver a second address at the County Court House this evening at 8 o'clock in the inter est of equal suffrage. Miss Watkins, who possesses a charming?, voice and winning personality, is in the city in the interest of the National American Suffrage Association, with the object of organizing a local equal suffrage league which will be .done under the auspices of the North Carolina Asso ciation, of which Mrs. Malcolm Piatt, of Asheville, is president and Mrs. T. W. Ingle, of Davidson, is first vice president. Miss Watkins, when interviewed this morning, stated that practically all cities of importance in the Stats had equal suffrage leagues with the exception of Wilmington and she is very anxious to line this city up with the movment which has grown to gigantic proportions in the last, few years and which is now sweeping the country like a tidal wave. Miss Wat kins has given much time to the study of the biggest question before the American woman today and is prepared to explain why Wilmington should have an equal suffrage league. She was a prominent figure in the halls of the legislative buildings of her own State when women were given the franchise and she deliv- 1 YOUR SALARY Do You Use Half for Living Expenses and Spend the Qther Half Foolishly? i i I We Would Suggest This Division: -1Sixty per cent for living expenses, fifteen per cent, for wholesome pleasures, and TWENTY-FIVE per cent deposited in our Bank.

But the surf looked very inviting. A luncheon was served here and was much en joyed by everybody. "Wilmington, wh,ich is one of the largest cities in North Carolina, is a fine old place of typical Southern characteristics. It was founded in 1739, arid has always been noted for its patriotic spirit. As early as 1765 it showed its independence by offer ing armed resistance to the enforce ment of the stamp act. The city is located on the Cape Fear river, thirty miles from its mouth, and has a good harbor, with 27 feet" of water from its wharves to the sea. During the Civil War it was a favorite port for Confederate blockade runners, and many stirring adventures took place as these daring sailormen slipped in and out and dodged the watchful Union war vessels. There is consid erable shipping ye. and great quan tities of cotton, lumber, turpentine, rosin and other naval stores are ex ported. The Clyde steamship' Bne to New York and Baltimore and the Carolina line to Baltimore have reg ular steamship service, and the Sea board Air Line and Atlantic Coast Line railroads furnish adequate facil ities by rail. Wilmington has a pop ulation of some 30,000, 'includin' de whites,' as an old negro man remark ed. Which is indicative of the fact that a large proportion of the popu lation is colored. There is; a very large German element here, and we During the West Virginia campaign inaugurated by the women in their successful effort to gain the privilege! of the ballot, Miss Watkins delivered a number of addresses which helped to swing the victory to the women in that State. She came here from Charlotte and she states that the Queen City has a league that Is un usually strong and growing rapidly. In speaking of the question this morning Miss Watkins declared that equal suffrage was long over-due in this city and in her opinion the time is now ripe for the organization of a, strong Wilmington League. She is very hopeful that a large crowd will attend tonight's speaking regardless of their views on the question be cause she is confident that her argu ment and manner of presentation will show the question up in a differ ent light from that in which it has been viewed by many. Another- matter pointed out by TMIss Watkins was that the vote of the women of the West, California particularly, re-elected Woodrow Wil son to the presidency, and she added that all her people had always been Democrats. - This fact alone is suffi cient to guarantee the young lady a welcome to the city, even though all were opposed to her views. Miss Watkins stated that the great suf frage Organization knew no politics; that its members were made up of women of the Democratic and Repub lican, parties both, but women who are banded together with the purpose can prove this by mentioning someiof obtaining the franchise and the of the names from the list of those i "Sht to cast a ballot the privilege who helped to entertain Synod: Von!0' helping conduct the affairs of the FlPf T.ipth Rrhntt Dnsnher.

The prosperity is shown by the substantial "business houses tnd the many handsome, comfortable homes that adorn the wide streets of the residence section. There's no crowding in these streets. The houses are all set back from the building line, with elbow room on either side, and flowers and shrub bery adorn and beautify the yards and open spaces. There is a great variety of architecture. Most of the dwellings are of frame, many show ing the evidence of good taste and beauty in the use of lovely columns i 'hat add so greatly to the attrac-1 tiveness of the Southern style. There are many handsome examples of col onial architecture here and there and some notably dignified structures oi this sort. The progressive - spirit of the place is shown by the .many well paved streets an expensive public improvement for a city of this size, for the streets are wide and long and it must have been a costly . undertak ing to pave so many of them i by the excellent modern hotels and the tow ering skyscrapers ? by its satisfactory public utilities; its fine school build ings, and other evidences of enter prise and community pride. "The business of Wilmington is on a solid and substantial basis. It has cotton presses and cotton mills and wood-working industries, and in the general offices of the Atlantic Coast Line system 700 men are employed. The surrounding country is fairly prosperous. Some cotton is raised and there is a good deal of truck farming. "At the breaking out of the great kJuropean war in August, 1914, a big German steamship was . in harbor at Wilmington unloading cargo. Of course, she did not dare venture out, with British cruisers scouring the seas, ana sne is sun tnere. ai tne same time another big German steamer was en route from Galveston to New York, and when her captain received a wireless message that war bad been declared he made a bee line for the nearest port, which happened In conclusion Miss Watkins asked that the fact that no admission will be charged to tonight's .meeting be stressed. She is very anxious to have all who can possibly crowd into the spacious court room do so, for she is confident that she has a mes sage that all ladies will wish to hear. Miss Watkins is speaking at the So rosis Club room this afternoon and she will speak again tonight at the Court House. to be Wilmington, and he barely reached the three-mile limit in time, for British warships gave him a lively chase. Both of these ships have been lying idle at anchor at Wil mington .ever since, and their officers and crews are mighty tired of doing ' nothing. We visited one of the ves sels'," the Kiel, and were pleasantly j entertained by Captain Emken, who! is patiently waiting for peace to be declared. Captain Emken long ago sent to Germany for his family, and his wife, his little son and a new baby make the ship tae next best thing to a home in the fatherland." t A Beverage Hall's Discovery for Indigestion "Is not a beverage, but it is pos tively the quickest known relief for Indigestion, Heart-burn and Dyspepsia and is sold in 50c bot tles under a strict guarantee to do good or money refunded.
