SCHOOL TEACHERS SCARCE
UP IN NEW CASTLE COUNTY
SOME OF THE DISTRICT SCHOOLS
UNABLE TO OPEN LAST WEEK
Prof. Spaid, Superintendent of County
Schools Perplexed Over the
Situation-School Notes.

Because of a scarcity of school
teachersin New Castle county, several
of the rural schools have not been
opened. New castle Co. School Com
missioners at meeting here yester-
day in the Ford Building, heard Coun-
ty Superintendent A. R. Spaid report
of several schools without teachers.
These schools are Oak Hill Harmony
and Fairview. Oak Hill pays $40 a
month for nine months. The school
is in the southern section of the
county. The commissioners in this
district eventually will have to secure
two teachers.
The Port Penn schools are without
principal and Fairview and Harmony
schools are now advertising for
teachers.
The commissioners expressed them
selves much gratified over the opinion
by Attorney-General Gray that the
law authorizes several county school
commissioners of the state to compel
the commissioners or Board ofssEduca-
tiOn of any school district in the
county over which he commission has
jurisdiction, to make such changes in
the school house and outbuildings as
the commission shall deem necessary
for sanitation or for the health of the
pupils of the district upon penalty of
the Withholding from the districts OF
its share of the state appropriation
for school purposes.

DELAWARE STATE FAIR
Arrangements About Completed for
the Great Event.

The Delaware State Fair, which
opens at Wawaset Park, Wilmington,
yesterday, to continue for four
days, September 10th, 18th, 18th and
18th, is certain to be the biggest even
of the kind in the history of the State,
or of the Peninsula. Arrangements
completed to date make this absolute
ly certain. The only thing that can
seriously interfere is rain, and the
fair management is optimistic enough
not to worry over that possibility.
Only those who have been in close
touch with the fair work the past few
months can realize the tremendous
amount of work that has been done.
Waaset Park has undergone a COM
plete transformation, and the big steel
and concrete grandstand, erected at a
cost of about S25, 900, shows up
strong in the background of the num-
erous changes and transformation that
have been made to the grounds.
The racing events planned for insure
splendid sport, and the various ex-
hibits will be much larger than ever
before. There will be numerous side
attractions and amusements, and the
comfort and convenience of the thous-
ands of visitors will not be lost sight
of for moment.
In word the management of the
Delaware State Fair expect to estab-
lish high standard in the 1912 fair,
and from present indications theil
plans are to be fully realized in every
way.

WALKING THROUGH DELAWARE
Lieut.. Hunt U. S. A. and Mrs. Hunt
Walking Through Delaware.

Lieutenant Elvid R. Hunt, of the
United States Army, who is stationed
in, Wilmington as the instructor for
the Delaware Militia, and who is ac-
companied by his wife, were in Mil
ford on Wednesday evening, as the
guest of Major w. E. Lank, and left
on Thursday morning for Dover, where
they will remain over night as the
guest of Captain John Lefevre. They
are making a walking tour of Della
ware, and last Monday went by train
to Selbyville, where they passed the
night and started on Tuesday morning
for Georgetown. They report the wa
king was pretty tough proposition,
as the sand was heavy, and that there
is no pretence of walking paths for the
public to follow at the roadside be-
tween Selbypville and Georgetown,
but, that there was greatly improved
conditions from Georgetown to Milford.
They start early in the morning and
seem to greatly enjoy the trip, both
being in excellent health. They will
arrive in Wilmington on Saturday.
At another time Lieutenant and Mrs
Hunt purpose to walk over the count
les, and look up the places of interest
in the history of Delaware. The ex-
perience of Lieutenant Hunt with
Delaware roads, is that "better
roads" are sorely needed, and that the
prosperity of Delaware is greatly re-
tarded for the lack of them.

GYPSY CAMP WILL SOON
MOVE DOWN The STATE
WILL STAY ABOUT WILMINGTON
UNTIL AFTER THE STATE FAIR
Have Been Causing Much Annoyance
About EIsmere Where They Are Re-
ported to Strip Truck Patches.

The band of Brazilian gypsies
camped near Front and Union streets
Wilmington known as the Esmere dis
trict who are under the rule of King
Ephraim John, seem domed to trouble.
Another outbreak occurred Friday which
for time threatened to be serious.
The trouble began Wednesday night,
when 81 horses belonging to the gyp-
sizes got loose and wandered into the
truck patch on the farm of Robert J.
FOrman, which is just beyond the
camp on the Elsmere road. Every
thing in the truck patch was ruined
by the horses, and when Mr. Foreman
arose in the morning and took in the
situation he rounded up the hores and
fastened them in a pen, intending to
hold them for damages to his proper
ty.
He telephoned to Dog Catcher KOpp
Wilmington, requesting him to take
the animals in charge until the dam
ages were paid, but Mr.. Kopp inform
ed him that it was out of his jurisdic-
tion, and he could take no action.
The gypsies went to Mr.. Foreman's
place later in the morning and deman-
ded their horses, refusing to pay the
damage asked by Mr.. Foreman. In
order to avoid trouble Mr.. Foreman
allowed tie gypsies to have their
horses.
The gypsies have become so troubl-
esOme that the people of the vicinity
started a petition recently to be
presented to the attorney-general, re-
questing him to take such action as
will cause them to move.
The gypsies say they are going to
remain there until after the Fair at
Horse Show Park. After that the are
going to move down the State. When
they rented the property, they said
they expected to remain about two
weeks. Saturday it grew o hot for
them they moved to New Castle.

DOVER /. o. o. F. CARNIVAL
Three Nights of Fun and FroIic Will
Net Lodge Men Over $500.

The Odd Fellows Carnival which
was held the last three nights of Au-
gust far exceeded the expectations of
nearly every one. The carnival street
and the different amusemnts were we'll
patronized. The whole affair, with
the exception of the Wild West Show,
was operated by home people. The
trained horse of D. r. Merritt at
tracted a great deal of attention, and
the work of the intelligent animal and
its trainer were both highly praised
for their cleverness. The affair will
net the Building Fund of PhilodemiC
Lodge, No. z, l. o. o. F., and over
$500. They also have paid for anC
on hand about $3.50 worth of electric
festoons, ETC., which will be hired fol-
similar occasions, and probably will
be good investment. Much of tn,
credit for the great success of tn,
carnival is due Sam. H. Carson
chairman, and his co-workers, VIII,
received the hearty cooperation o
the ladies. Index.

An Epieure's Dish and the Way to

The young man did not know what
he wanted to eat His appetite was
poor. His palate must be tempted and
tickled. He scanned the menB card
again and again. Finally, with a sigh
Of resignation. he said to the waiter:
"Bring me some fish feathers"
"Fish feathers?" exclaimed the as
tonished waiter.
''Yes; fish feathers! And 1 want 'em

The waiter retired for a conference
with the chef. the captain and the floor

''No such dish here" was his report.

never was such dish In New York

ly. But If you will drop a line to the

he sighed a third time, stretched
himself slowly and added:

state that season of 1912 has about
closed with the exception of few
Clings and Fox Seedlings which will
come into market for few more
days. The crop has been a good one
and it was no fault of the farmers
that exceptionally fine prices were
not realized from their fruit. They
attribute their failure to secure fancy
prices to the poor railroad facilities
that were given them, and the fact
that the fruit trains arrived in market
late almost every day.
