O'DEA RELIEVES HE
HAS WON AN AUTOMOBILE

Deputy Sheriff Artie O'Dea firmly
believes he is going to be riding
around in his own automobile before
many more weeks, the result Of his
aptitude at solving riddles. The Chi
cago American has offered an automo-
bile to the first ten people sending to
it the correct answer to the riddle
"What Does Lawyer Do When He
Dies"
O'Dea is sure he has the right an
wer pegged and that he will be among
the fortunate ones.
"What does lawyer do when he
dies?"
"That's easy" said O'Dea.
"He lies STILL"
Artie is confident he is right be-
cause he says its the truth and you
can't beat that for any price.

ALL LIGHT SERVICE
WILL GO ON METER

At a meeting Of the water and
light board Monday afternoon it was
decided to put all the light service
from the municipal lighting plant on
meters hereafter. Meters will be in
stalled as soon as possible where they
are not already in place. How to han
die the peak load at the electric light
plant was another problem before the
board. Extensions Of the lighting
service are going on at the rate Of
about 30 meters a month and during
the winter months the local plant will
be taxed to it's capacity. Arrange
ments will probably be made with the
Virginia & Rainy Lake company or the
St. Louis Power company to carry the
extra load.

RAILROAD VIII. ElGIII ORDER
OF COUNCIL TO REMOVE SPUR
Track Near Passenger Station
! Must Be Taken Up Says.
City Council.
Also Ordered to Retain Flagmen
at Poplar and Spruce
Street Crossings.

The Canadian Northern railway will
not comply with an order of the city
council to remove the spur track near
it's passenger depot on Lake Boule-
ward without fight. Its contention
is that it is within the rights of it's
franchise in maintaining the spur
track at it's present location and the
order of the council will probably re-
ceive no attention.
The removal of the spur track was
ordered on the representation of Lake
boulevard property owners who de-
clared it a nuisance because switch
engines were allowed to stand on it all
night and the smoke from them be-
grimed adjoining residence property
and for the further reason that the
noise of escaping steam and carmen
making repairs rudely disturbed their
slumbers.
The track has been used to park pri-
vate cars, by switch engines from the
West Virginia yards during the
switchmen's lunch hours and in max
ing switches on passenger trains.
The Canadian Northern holds that
it's franchise does not give it the right
to construct spur tracks for freight
service but that it has right to
maintain the spur to facilitate the
handling of it's passenger trains. In
the meantime orders have been issued
that switch engines must not stand
near the depot. There were rumors
of injunction proceedings Tuesday, but
local officials were -committal fur
Their than to say that the removal OF
the spur track would considerably in
convenience them.
The Canadian Northern was also
ordered to keep crossing watchmen at
the Poplar and Spruce street cross.
ings at Tuesday nights meeting. It
is held that the unguarded condition
of these crossings is a menace to the
public safety.

Taitiation AT Newark Grange

On Tuesday, May 18th at Odd
Fellows Hall, Newark Grange en-
tcrtained the degree team Of Della
ware Grange, Newport, together
with large number of visitors
from Newport, the occasion being
the initiation Of a class Of new
members by the local grange. The
class was put through all the core-
monies connected with the first
four degrees. Following these eX-
crcisps refreshments were served TO
the guests and all joined in wei
coming the new grangers: Mr.. and
Mrs. William Teller Of the College
Farm, Mr.. Arthur S. Houchin, Jr.,
of Delaware Avenue, and Mr.. w.
A. Lintner, Assistant Agronomlst
at the Experiment Station.
Newark Grange feels deeply III
debt to Delaware Grange and es-
pecially to the degree team of that
grange, for the readiness with
which the members entered into the
program Of the evening and feels
that large part of the enjoyment
on that occasion was due to them.
An idea of the steady growth OF
Newark Grange may be obtained
from the statement that since last
November fourteen new members
have been secured and applications
are on hand from a number OF 9th
ers. The time seems to be at hand
when the Grange will perform that
service for local farming that Is
supplied by other oranges in this
and other states.

The others, though requiring in

rel, Wyoming, Georgetown, Del

the whole group. The public SEN
timent created for the group was
something remarkable. OF course,
in this work the social service COM
mittee was merely helping the ed
ucati0n committee with the affiliat-
ed college and the library commit
tee with the amended library law,
for they were the moving powers
behind these laws; but the social
service committee is always glad to
do its best in backing the work of
any committee in the federation,

splendid work Of the educational
and library committees.

NEWARK MAN
WINS RIFLE SCORE
Worlds Record In A Practice
Shoot

Sergeant Frank H. Clark, of
Company E, Organized Militia of
Delaware, established a State re-
cord on the target range in the To-
cal armory this week, when he
made a possible so standing and 46
out of a possible so prone, a total
of SO out of a possible 100. This
record was made in the 2O-man
company shoot for the First Infan-
try trophy. The shooting was done
on the regulation range, the dis.
tance being IS feet, and the target
one-half inch.
Notwithstanding this fine record,
Company E failed to win the
trophy, because of the fact that
but II men shot instead of 20. Com
pany E did, however, win the five,
man team Delaware trophy shoot
week ago.
While the work Of Sergeant
Clark, III the company shoot, made
a record, it was not his best work
on the range, and especially al
prone. Several weeks ago, during
practice on the range, he made lOe
consecutive bull 's-eyes prone OF
the regulation range. AS far as il
known, this is a worlds record, bu
because of it being made in prac
tice is not official. Sergeant Clarl
has been a member Of the team
from this State that competes IL
