Activities a these two places together with the theft of three sacks of corn from the wharf, cctiiuted the day's unlawful activities of this nature so far as the police have been able to learn. ' . Entrance -was affected to the Bry ant store and the cash register rifted A quantity of merchandise, valued at several dollars, was also taken and the pin that was removed from the window at the Saffo Brothers' shop was found in tUe Bryant store. This caused the police to believe that the Bryant store was visited first. The corn stolen was brought into the city on a river boat and was con signed to Bohney and Harper, millers. It was removed from the wharf near the foot of Chestnut., street and in close . proximity to , the Benney and Hamper mill.

He may know that it is in the least contagious, but other People are afraid, they avoid him, and he j&ust make way for a manwhlra clear, wealthy skin. Why run risk, when. Mr. J. C Stewart, chief engineer for the,. Champion Compress, has been appointed enrolling agent for Wil mington and vicinity in the natron wide drive for enrolling farm labor to insure , harvesting of this year's crop. The forces to be enrolled will be strictly of a reserve nature and only that portion needed will be call ed on. The Dispatch recently printed a comprehensive outline for the en rollment of this labor, but statement was later, made that nothing would be done lately. The plan for enroll ing boys is in accord with plans pre viously proposed by Mr. John B. "Mor ris, successful truck farmer of the Acorn Branch section, who claims that farm labor is at least 25 per cent short locally and that it will be imperative for the boys to help as men are not available for this work as in the past. . Th ."following issued from the office of Mr. L. L. Bland, State director for the United States Public Service Reserve, of the Depart ment of Labor, is timely: . "There y.is an opportunity now for urban people, sympathetically and constructively, to study the farm Jabor situation, and to render assistance. In many towns and cities there are men who have had farming experi ence, who are able-bodied, and who would doubtless be willing to serve the nation in the field of agriculture at this time. Especially for the sea soned strains of planting, cultivating! and 'harvesting, it will not be too much to ask' such, mea,: to aid the farmers In the necessary undertaking of maintaining, and if possible, sup plementing the food supply in order to feed the armies and to sustain the civilian population behind them. If the soldiers are willing to serve in the trenches, to dig ditches, build railroads, and risk their lives, many civilians can well afford to spate a part of their time to serve in the fur rows and in the harvest fiftelds. If it appears that the farmers of a com munity or region are not able to se cure the necessary labor, by the usual methods, then the leaders in the town or city immediately dependent upon that region should organize, establish touch with the representative gaxm leaders, asd-see if they cannot assist in solving the problem. In so doing they will not only aid the farmers of the nation, but they will vitally con tribute to their own well being, and to that of the community. "The farmers , are willing to do all that they humanly can,, but where their labor supply cannot be furnish ed from the ordinary sources, it must be recruited from those whose very sustenance depends upon the farmers. The soldier and the farmer are eager to do their full shar$ ; the soldier is taking chances of losing his life, and the farmer is risking the labors of a year on the chance of the seasons; both incur risks. Very many civilians are equally eager to do their full share, "but may not '"appreciate the opportunity to serve in the field of agriculture. "The Department of Agriculture and Labor will render" every possible aid, but each community knows its own problem, and urban people, especial ly business men, could co-operate ef fectively with the farmers and also render much assistance." " rv i y-ntment and Resuiol Soap stop itching , u cifr ev.?er.na and Similar "Compromise foreshadows collapse and company parted with the good is preparation for alien association, as proved in the life of the favored dis ciple," declared Rev. M. T. Plyler in a forceful sermon at the morning ex ercises at Grace Methodist church yesterday. "And he sat with the ser vants and warmedImself at the Are, And the chief priests and all the coun cils sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death." Mark 14:54-55. Continuing, Mr. Plyler said in, parr: "These tragic hours In the world's life give new significance to the fate ful moments in the life of our Lord. We read, with a fresh interest the record in the light of the press dis patches from 'Europe telling of the Golgotha of. suffering. "Men still sit by the fire with the servants of the enemies of Christ while he must stand alone in the judgment hall. What a fall for Simon Peter? Once ready to go to the death with him; now content to sit hy the fire with his enemjes. First,, asleep when he should have been alert; then, following afar off when he should have been' by his side; now, warming himself by the fire with the servants when he should have been before the council; later, protesting with curses that he ever had anything to do with him. This is the continuous tragedy in the life of the church. The mod ern Peters are many. "Could we learn the first demand of Christ -we would escape the peril of such a course. Men are to put him first. Sejek first the kingdom and ah else will be added. God has h'ighly exalted him that in all things he should have the preeminence. But we will not put him first. Any little trivial matter is allowed to come in. One heed not befool himself into the belief that Christ has the first place when his church the, body of Christ has a subordinate place. Could we put first things first for a little while what a revolution would be wrought right here In Wilmington. We tronH shame some of those who are now by the fire with the servants. k "In the flurry of these tense times when many are almost wrecked soul and body in the effort to save the nation aqd reform the world, it would be a good thing to sit for awhile, like Mary, at the ' Master's feet. The Mathas need to stop their bustiin? for a bit. We would do well to jrot aside some of these incidental things for a week and slip up close to our Saviour in penitential prayer. "How our Saviour suffers today in the world's judgment hall. He is bowed down as he bends over the world's field of carnage. He needs many, to stand with hinT and many need him to be-with them. Think of his sorrow when he saw the mult! tudes of Judea as sh,eep without a shepherd; what must be the agony of spirit as he watches the contend ing multitudes aenpss the world this terrible day! ."Then, he wa more than a shep herd with extended arms calling the wandering sheep; he was out on the mountains in the storm and stress to rescue the lost sheep. He is still in the world walking amid the roar of the guns, as the White Comrade, and coming into the broken homes, as he did at Bethany. This is the one con viction thatQnakes life bearable. He touches and;fllls others with his spir it that they may make him known to men. j "Do we really begin to know how much the' lonely, suffering One need3 us to stand by him as he bows over a bloody world ? Will we be content to sit with the servants of the en emies of Christ when he so needs us to be with' him- and we so need himJ to be with us? . "To go with him anywhere he wants us to go may mean to go ..to the death; it meant that to him; but ultimate victory is sure. He is the Comforter, the Saviour, the Victor." SERVICE Capital and Surplus Resources . . . , Coincides Roughly Witk the Beginning of the 0- Spring Season. The festival of Passover (Hebrew, Pesach), coincides roughly with bhft beginning of the spring season. II commemorates Israel's delivery from Egyptian slavery. In the Jewish cal endar, its date is fixed from the 15th to the 22nd of Nissan, which this year, corresponds with March 28th to April 4th. Another name for this annual cele bration of freedom is the Festival of Matzoth (unleavened bread), because throughout the feast only unleavened bread is to be eaten. In fact, all food substances tnat contain ferment or acid must be removed "from Jewish homes prior to the holidays, so that there wili be no likelihood of trans gressing the Biblical v Injunction against leaven being found in the house. Jews of the Reform wing ob serve seven days as against eighJLof the "Conservatives. Of these days the first and the last (for the former),1 the first two and the last two (for the latter) are observed as full holidays. The intermediary four or five days are of a lesser degree of sacredness.
