The Dispatch, along with" "Wilming
ton as a v?hole,;has the utmost confi
dence in the cttyV f uture," and be
lieves that the sunrise . of greatness
is upon us if the men, women and
children of the community i will lay
aside their petty Jealousies and self
ish desires and work together for the
development of the city. The oppor
tunity is here, knocking with an in
sistence that should bring joy to the
hearts of everyone desirous of mak
ing Wilmington the most important
shipping center on the soutJi Atlantic
coast.
These matters, however, should not
be looked upon in the abstract. We
must face them as actual concrete
conditions, and as such govern our
organized efforts. The new shipyards
irith all of their attendant industrial
artivities have come upon us rather
suddenly, and tne city is suu groping
Ground in the darkness of generali
ties. H tQe pitizens of Wilmington
are to make the most or. the oppor
tunity they must be keenly awake,
to the situation.
The Dispatch would arouse the in
terest of all Wilmington to the im
portance of united and harmonious
effort to co-operate with the new en
terprises and new citizens coming
here, and to bring a full realization
nf what all of this means to the peo
ple of this city individually and col-
lective, nas apprupnatea iu gum
to be divided into three prizes, which
will he awarded to students in the
Wilmington city schools who will
write articles setting forth -reasons
vhy this city should be the leader in
;hit)building and water commerce
among the cities of the south Atlantic
states, and what the citizens of Wilr
mington should do to bring about this
rfpsirable object. The Dispatch has
no desire to place too many restric
tions upon those who enter this con
test .preferring to give them as wide
a range as possible in handling this
all-important subject, but we-' suggest
the following as a general subject:
Wilmington's facilities and opportuni
ties for development, and what the
citizens should do to encourage this
development.
The rules of the contest are sim
ple: Open to the school children of
the city of Wilmington; must be writ
ten neatly, in ink, or better still,, on
a typewriter, and on one side of the
paper onlyr-not more than 500 words
in length; manuscript must be in the
Dispatch office not later than 7 o'clock
on the evening or. May 31. -or tne
best paper a prize of $20 in gold will
be awarded; for the second best, $10
in gold, and $5 for the third.

after the close of the time for filing

THEATRE
A Good, Show at the Royal - v
Royal patrons had a treat in tie
presentation yesterday for the' first
time of Lottie LeClalre and her ?Mile-
a-Minute gins, v wnicn opened a
week's ; engagement, presenting the
roaring .musical farce, "Married Life,"
to large - audiences. r . .
The entire company is on the oh
every minute the curtain is tip; and
the show runs a1 solid hour frothing
skimpy or snoix, aDout it from begin
ning to end. The music is exception
ally good, with some voices with tone
and timbre seldom seen or heard on a
popular priced show, and the comedy
end, Ip the hands of two blackface
artists, is especially well developed.
The featured attraction is the Pull
man quartet, and there was only one
kick to be registered against it their
act was too short. The audience want
ed more of it and called for it re
peatedly. Miss LeClalre playing the
leads, presented a personality -. that
charmed and made friends with every
one. The opening Dili goes on today
and tonight, tomorrow's bill being a
patriotic special bill, "Over the Top.
Kissed in the Dark
June Caprice is kissed right In the
dark and the funny part about the
kiss is that she gives credit to the
wrong man for the pleasure it gives
her. That's the situation In Miss Ca
price's latest William Fox photoplay,
"A Samouflage Kiss," which will be
shown at the Grand theater tomorrow,
It is a play brimful of humor. It
brings together a manufacturer of
beans and a producer of pork, with
the natural result of pork and beans.
The pork man is prosperous and
mixes pork and beans well, but when
it comes to love he is not so good a
mixer. He is so chy that he coaxes
another man to kiss his affianced
bride in the dark. The bride-to-be is
delighted. It was a wonderful- kiss
and, believing the pork man had be
stowed it, she beams on him. But
as with children, you can't fool
woman about them. She knows her
own. So that when the real kisser
kisses her again she realizes that the
pork man's kiss has been camouaged.
You can judge for yourself whether
the kisser, or the would-be kisser gets
the girl. As usual. Miss Caprice plays
her, part with gaiety.

Strength anL
How to GainTt
INSTEAD OF EXERCISES, PATENT
FOdDS AND MEDICINES, TAKE
PHOSPHATE WITH YOUR
MEALS.
The demand today is for men and wo
men who are strong in erery sense of the
word possessing the physical strength
necessary to endure hardships and fatigue;
the mental strength to grapple with diffi
cult problems; the neryous force which en
dows the body with vigor and vitality; the
will' power to triumph over adversity ana
turn defeat into victory.
But such glorious strength is impos
sible so long as your nerves are weak
and exhausted, and therefore if you would
be really strong you must first care for
your nerves. Weak, exhausted nerves
need food, and for this purpose physicians
strongly recommend the use of the organic
phosphate known among druggists as
bitro-phosphnte and put up in 5-gr.
compressed tasteless tablets.
If you feel your strength is failing from
any cause, get a supply of these bitro
phosphate tablets and take one with every
meal. Practically all of the minor ail
ments afflicting mankind, as well as many
of the mora serious maladies, can be trac
ed to nervous exhaustion and lowered vi
tality, and probably this explains wiiy
such a remarkable improvement in tn
general health is invariably noticeable
when bitro-phosphate is taken as directed,
as the nerves are thereby revitalized and
made strong. It is sold-by Bellamy, Green,
Jarman & Futrelle and all good druggists.

There is more Catarrh In this section of
the country than all other diseases nut to4

be incurable. Doctors prescribes local rem
edies, and by constantly failing to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it incur
able. Catarrh is a local disease, greatly infl
uenced by constitutional conditions rnd
therefore requires constitutional treatment.

NOW BEHIND HOOVER.
(Special to The Dispatch)
Greensboro, N. C., May 21. The
students of the - Negro Agricultural
and Technical College of North Caro
line In this city have set a splendid
example for similar schools in the
state by pledging themselves to not
use any more wheat bread until after
the coming harvest, "This action was
taken by the students of their own
accord as an expression of their pa
triotism and willingness to serve
their country and humanity in the
present crisis.
The action of the Greensboro insti
tution follows closely upon that of
Meredith college and Peace Institute.
two girls colleges at Raleigh, whose
students requested the college author
ities to banish wheat products from
the menu until the next harvest so
that the flour might be released for
export to the soldiers ,ot the United
States and its allies in France.
MUCH RHEUMATISM
Local Druggist's No-Cure No-Pay Offer
Attracts Many Sufferers.
If there are any rheumatic sufferers
in town who have not availed .them
selves of Mr. Bellamy's generous offer
they should do so at once.
Mr. Bellamy states, that if Rheuma,
the guaranteed prescription for rheu
matism, does not give any purchaser
quick and joyful relief Mr. Bellamy
will return the purchase price without
any quibbling or red tape.
Rheumatism is a dangerous disease,
and anyone who has the slightest taint
of it should drive it from the system
as soon as possible. Read what Rheu
ma did for this eufferer:
"For five years I suffered with artic
ular rheumatism, havinc bunches on
my elbows, feet and wrists. I took
everything I could get, with no relief.
I saw your ad. and was greatly : im
proved before I had used two battles,
and was cured before I had finished
the third. I thank God for Rheuma and
that I am free from rheumatism today,
If anyone wishes Information from me
I will write them. I think Rheuma is
a. miracle." Mrs. Lucia Ryder, 102
Gilbert street, Syracuse, N. Y.
Good druggists, everywhere sell
Rheuma. A large bottle is inexpensive
and sufficient for two week's treat
