The Delaware high school basket
ball team won its eighth victory out
of eight games played this season i'm
the Y. NJ. c. A. gym, last night by a
score of 46 to 20. The Marion high
school five was the loser
The contest was the best high
school exhibition of real basket ball
that has been witnessed in this city
for many a day and all conceded the
Delaware team to be one of the best
fives that has visited the city for
some time. The visitors excellent
team work. passing and basket shoot
ing completely bewildered the Marion
players, at least until the second half
was well under way and It was dur
ing that time that they clinched the
victory. Their playing easily ran into
the superlative degree.
The first half was played at ter
rife speed, the pace being set by the
men from the college town with the
locals finding it a hopeless task to
keep up. The half ended 32 to 6, Del
aware leading and the score stood 20
to 0 before a Marion man Gagged a
basket. The period was half over
when one of Sifritts shots fell true.
Lynch was in the leading role for
the visitors during the half with eight
baskets to his credit. Batteniield was
not far behind him with five.
The second half Is another story,
entirely different from that of the
first. The Delaware lads were played
to a standstill and the score for
the last period was tie, each team
scoring IA points. The Marion team
PLAYED in exceptionally fine form but
the points which had been gathered
| by the opposition in the first hall
could not be equaled. The visitors
were excelled In passing but were able

even with the Marion players.

Preceding the boys game in the
Y. NJ. c. A. gym last night, the SEN
ior- Sophomore girls basket ball team
of the high school defeated the Junior
reshman for the second time this
season by a score of 10 to H. Many
doting mothers, fathers and friends
made up the crowd that cheered Wild
~ the girls performance.
The game last night was marked
Improvement over former contests.
The girls, particularly the Senior
Sophomore forewards. showed the ef-
feet of hard practice and excellent
coaching.
The Junior Freshmen started the
game with rush and Miss Frank
pitched a field basket and foul be-
fore her opponents started their scor-
ing machine. Due possibly to the
strength Of the Senior Sophomore cen-
ters, the ball was in the Junior
Freshman territory the greater part
cf the first half. This gave the Sem
ior- Sophomore forwards numerous op-
portunities to score and they altern-
ated in pitching six baskets. Miss
Frank managed to land second field
goal and the half ended ~ to 5 in the
or-Sophs favor,
The Junior-Freshmen team came
back strong in the second period and
played much better ball AS in the
first half the Junior Freshman team
was the first to score, Miss Whiting
being the contributor. A basket by
Miss Balm tied the score. After some
strenuous playing Miss Frank added
two points hut not to be left behind,
Miss Lippencott pitched her fourth
basket from the field and added a
foul After Miss Whiting and Miss
Balm had each located the ring, the
half ended with the Senior Sophomore
leading. to 6.

persons aged to IA years inclusive,
of whom 372,760, of 8S.6 per cent,

FLOWER SHOW AT ASBURY
THIS WEEK.

Asbury Park is one of the first
American cities to promote public in
terest in flower growing. Not only
is it offering liberal cash prizes to
experienced gardeners, but it is en-
couraging amateurs, particularly chill
dren. Asbury Parks first summer
flower show, staged in the Beach Au-
ditorium from Wednesday to Satur-
day, inclusive, of this week, has al
ready attracted widespread attention
and is we'll worth witnessing. Nearly
three hundred magnificent exhibits
from professional gardeners are COM
peting for the $4,000 worth of cash
prizes and the amateurs are well rep
resented. Public interest in the event
can be gauged by the fact that more
than three thousand tickets of adj
mission were sold by the city before
the opening OF the show and that the
entire coast is working for its success.

WEST DEpFORD COMMENCEMENT

The pretty new church of Thorofare
was filled to overfiowing by ladies and
gentlemen in evening toilets on Thurs
day evening, June goth. The chancel
had been made beautiful with roses
and ferns, and the sixteen chairs. ar
ranged at the back of the platform
were occupied by the sixteen young
boys and girls who were the graduates
of the West Deptford Schools. 1t was
the first commencement which had
ever been held in Thorofare. and all
felt it to be not only festive occa-
sion but one marking an important
era.
The program began with music and
a prayer by the Rev. J T. Richardson.
'An Incident of the War; was we'll
given by Abbie Rambo, who sang very
sweetly during the recitation. An
Indian Legend as recited by Thomas
Hannold was really fine. A piano
solo, .sPansies and Roses" by Braun,
was beautifully given by Myrtle Law
renee "True Heroism' was good
recitation by Charles Gleeson. Rap
pahannock," as recited by Erma Null
len and Ruth DeHart Wilkins was
excellent. Ada E. Wilkins distin-
guished herself as valedictorian.
An address by the Rev. Edgar
Campbell, of Swedesboro, was much
enjoyed by all. 1t was bright and
witty and full of practical good sense,
and bits of advice which served as in
terludes between the delightful anec-
dotes which were not only pointed
but helped to point the way to all that
is highest and best in this life and the
next
Mr.. c. T. Jackson, President of the
Board of Education, presented the GER
tificates with a few words of commen-
dation. Happy School Days" was
sung by the class. During the music
of the evening, Florence Richardson
was the accompanist The Rev. j. J.

tion.

THE DOUBLE FIGHT BEGUN.

! The annual fight against the two
tmost aggravating and destructive OF
living pests, flies and mosquitoes, has
begun. OF the two, the common
house fly, recently called the .fy-
phoid fever fly, is the most numer-
ous and the most dangerous. For the
fly swarms in every part of the State
while the mosquito is found only in
certain districts.
There is no reasonable excuse for
either, at least not in such innum-
erable battalions as still exist and
plague mankind. Flies breed in
filth. They can breed in nothing
else. They carry it wherever they
go and spread it, filled with disease
germs, upon whatever they touch.
The war against them is simply a
war against filth Cover it up, utilize
it as fertilizer, destroy their breeding
places by the ordinary processes OF
cleanliness and flies will disappear
The war against mosquitoes is a
war against stagnate pools, marshes
rain barrels and anything that will
hold water, clean or dirty. For mos
Quitoes breed in water; they can
breed nowhere else, and by removing
their hatcheries the mosquitoes are
destroyed
The anti-mosquito crusade has be-
gun in earnest. The drainage ditch
es in the Newark meadows have
been opened up anew. and the New
ark crusaders are already at work in
the, city. The Caldwell Board OF
1<sc hoo oa4tx ,-co = =
women of Upper Montclair have TAX
en- aggressive action and the health
boards there and in other places have
commenced work.
If the new mosquito determination
law is allowed to stand-and it will
stand unless the House passes the
repeater, as did the Senate, and the
Governor consents to disapprove an
act which he but recently approved :
the war aginst mosquitoes will be
carried on more vigorously than ever
before. Local efforts to eradicate the
pest have been too spasmodic and toe
I-desultory to effect the desired results
but the new law provides for coun-
ty-wide authority and activity
1t is claimed that last year, in spite
III Oil llt
pest was more numerous than evei
and more vindictive. This is only
to an extent true, but the explanation
is in the many thousands of tanks
pools, stagnant water courses, bar
rels and neglected places over which
the fighters had no authority and il
which the mosquitoes swarmed ant
hatched by the millions.
Voluntary work is good as far a.
it goes, but when one town or sec
ton works and the adjoining ont
does not, or when one man cleans his
premises and his neighbor fails tt
destroy his mosquito hatcheries, little
is gained. The purpose of the new
law is to secure, by compulsion il
necessary, aggressive, concerted ac-
ton all along the fighting line Moth
ing else will rid a county or state o.
disease-bearing mosquitoes Newark

WEEKLY LETTER.
F. r. Stevens.
Agriculturist, Lehigh Valley Railroad.


No doubt all the readers remember
lumns in the matter of COW testing
associations. AS a result of this work
one or two testing associations have
been formed Others are half formed,
but from pressure of work and other
reasons, farmers seem to be holding
back in completing these organiza-
tionS.
There is likely to be a tendency
toward ignoring the robber cows this
year, for the reason that our clover
and alfalfa are yielding such excellent
crops, but we are certainly short
sighted if we allow this large hay
crop to prevent the formation of these
associations The hay crop in the
west this year is unusually short,
and they will need the hay there
that we have in the East 1t would be
foolish to ignore this and feed valu-
able hay, even though it is plentiful,
to cows that will bring us no profit.
1t is none too early to begin the
formation of COW testing associations.
The states of New York and Pennsyl-
vania are cooperating with us, and
particular emphasis may be laid on
the fact that Commissioner Huson, of
New York State, will send into the
field within the next three weeks,
along the line of the Lehigh Valley
Railroad, Mr. Harry Vail, of Orange
County, to assist in every possible
way in forming these organizations.
He is in the Office today and | am
giving you herewith some figures
which he has given me regarding his
experience
From figures taken from an associa-
tion formed at Messina, st. Lawrence
County, New York, a dairy consisting
of AZ cows gave a total profit of $615
for the year 1910 Taking the twelve
best COWS of the dairy, they gave a
profit of $50, showing that the far
mer referred to was compelled to
keep 35 cows at a profit of only $105
This farmer was unaware that he had
in his dairy so many poor cows until
the association was formed, enabling
him to find out from the actual weight
of the feed and the milk the profit of
each COW.
A great many farmers claim that
they can tell which COW is the most
profitable simply by looking at the
milk in the pail, but such has been
found to be totally impracticable and
misleading, without the actual weight
of the milk, feed, ruffage, etc. It is
interesting to note that in the State
Of New York, according to the census
of 1910, there we're 1,519,594 cows.
The value of the product sold from
these COWS for 1910 was $74,939,S15
The average per COW was 519 gallons,
less than six quarts of milk day for
each. There is no question that by
carefully wedding out poor COWS from
THE herd, the same amount of milk
can be produced from one-third or,
perhaps, one-half of the number.
The individual farmer, beyond any
doubt, will take better care of his
COWS when he has the actual figures
than when he has not, as shown by an
association started in Libon in April,
1910. A herd consisting of sixteen
cows gave, in 1909, 80,441 pounds of
milk. The following year, the first
year the association was started, an
equal number of cows gave 103, 143
pounds, showing an increase of 22,702
pounds and an advance in cash value
of $667.39.
