Bryan has invested more than $780,

plant for the benefit of its citizens.
We should place this plant on a self
sustaining basis and then furnish wa

much lower price than private

this institution is losing money, and
some of our citizens are paying more
and receiving less than others. Why
should this condition exist?

In the near future $4,000 in bonds

available for a water tower and paw

of this good sum of money? This is

able a total of $4,000 for paving pur-

can pave Main and cross streets one
block east and west and lay storm

I also believe that Bryan should
have more street lights. Small towns,

Agricultural Train On
Daln;ervia Peninsula

Arrangements have been made be-
tween the State Board of Agricul-
ture and the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company, to run a farmers
train this coming season, as was
done with such success last year.
The train will be fitted up with IL
Illustrations and arranged so that a
travelling school, or lecture bureau,
can be offered to the various towns
of Delaware. The train will leave
Wilmington December Sth, and
will return on the 18th. Lectures
will be given at all the stops as
heretofore. Because some details
had to be worked out, the schedule
could not be arranged, but will be
announced within the near future.

ure College was present and ar

Following each discussion there is
a list of suitable poems and songs

value and beauty of farm life

the fact that agriculture is the
basis Of national well-being, and
that there is no more honorable

WESLEYAN COLLEGE.
ALUMNI BANQUET
Plans Proposed For A Mem
orial

Mrs. S. j. Wright, Mrs. M. Ella
Chapman Scott, Mrs. Katie Cling
Brooks, attended the alumni ban
quet of Wesleyan Female College,
held at the Hotel DUPONT, last
Thursday evening. Covers were
laid for two hundred guests, many
of whom had not seen one another
since school days. The institution
closed in 1884. Suggestions were
advanced concerning memorial
that will bear evidence to the fact
that the college, though non-exise-
ent, lives in the memory of those
whose alma mater it was. A
scholarship at Goucher College,
Baltimore, Md, now the leading
Methodist institution in the coun-
try, found decided favor as a mem
orial. Mrs. Samuel McCaulley of
Wilmington proposed scholarship
or memorial Of some other kind in
the new Delaware College for Wo-
men. No decision was made and
the matter will probably be brought
mp at future meeting.

Uphuilding Rural Life

So fundamental is the upbuild-
ing Of rural life, in the opinion of
Dr. p. p. Claxton, United States
Commissioner of Education, that
the observance in the schools Of one
day each year as "Agriculture and
Rural Life Day" should become
national custom, instead Of being
confined to a few States, as at pre-
sent. "We can do without some of
our anniversaries, if need be,
says DR.. Claxton, "to have time
for this, the most fundamental of
all. The children in our schools
should be given an opportunity to
pause in their regular work and
consider the significance Of agri-
cultural and rural life: the worth
and worthiness Of tillage Of the soil
and the beauty and glory Of simple
and sane life in the open country
DR.. Claxton points out that in
several States "Agriculture and
Rural Life Day" has already been
introduced into the schools, at the
suggestion Of the Bureau of Educa-
ton. In other States exercises ap-
propriate to the purpose are held In
connection with Arbor Day,
Thanksgiving Day, or the Harvest
Home celebration. In order to aid
in the proper observance Of the day,
under whatever name it may be
celebrated, the Bureau Of Educa-
ton has just issued bulletin con-
tanning material that can be used
by teachers and others in arranging
an interesting program.
Fittingly prefaced with the
"County Boys Creed,' the bulle-
tin includes sections on man s
struggle for food; the application
of science to agriculture-from
George Washington down through
Luther Burbank, Liberty H. Bail
ny and other present-day men; our
domestic animals, and study OF
forests.

The Amended Fish
And Game Laws

Evident misunderstanding of the
hunting laws is responsible for an
attack on the Board Of Game and
Fish Commissioners in which they
are accused of circulating the old
law instead of the new law.
Complaint is made that the hunt
er is allowed to bring in only bag
with not more than IL partridges
and six animals, whereas the
amended law would allow him 10
animals of each species and 20 birds
or fowls. The complaint further
states that the commission should
have had the law printed as it was
amended and not as the old law
read.
State Game Warden B. F. Muir
ply explains where the misunder-
standing lies. He says that the
complainant mistook the law in re-
gard to the daily bag for the law
on the whole subject and evidently
did not notice the provisions of the
law for the carrying bag.
The law in regard to the daily
bag reads as follows: "That it
shall be unlawful for any person
to take or kill more than so rail
birds, 30 ducks or II birds or fowl
of any other species, and six ami
mails except such animals as are
habitually trapped for their pelts,
protected by the provisions Of this
Act. excepting snipe, plover and
reed birds, in any one day, or to
have such birds, fowl or animals III
possession for more than five days
after the close Of the season fo"
killing the same and except such
birds or animals, when had in pos
session alive for scientific or pro-
pagating purposes.
The hunter who is out for several
days is allowed the privilege of
bagging more game than the one
who is out for only one day, but a
limit is also set to the amount of
game that may be bagged in any
one trip. The law for the carrying
bag follows:
That any person who holds a
hunting license may carry with
him or ship within or out of the
State in any one week not more
than fifty reed birds, fifty rail
birds, not more than twenty birds
or fowl or any other species and
ten animals of each species, cx-
cepting muskrats; provided that
such game so carried or shipped
shall be carried or shipped openly
so it may be easily inspected and
counted. and provided such per-
son shall first make affidavit. before
some person duly authorized to adj
minister oaths, that the said birds
or animals have been lawfully kill
ed by the affiant, and are not to be
shipped or carried for purposes OF
sale or profit, and giving, if the
same are to be shipped, the name
and postoffice address of the person
to whom to be shipped and the
number and kind of the game to be
shipped
These are the amended game laws
as passed by the General Assembly
at the last session and are printed
on the back Of every hunting Ii
cense. The misunderstanding arises
from the failures to differentiat'
between the law for one days hunt
ing and for several days hunting

That the individual members have
been getting together for home prac-

among the sopranos and altos; and
here a shrewd guess suggests, as
reason, that the ladies have the adj
vantage over the men on account of
their superior training musically.
1t is 1amentable fact that hoys
are not supposed to require any must

learn to sing or play some instrument;

arises, men are not only essential but
come forward eagerly and in large
numbers.
Every boy should have his chance,
and it should be remembered that the
study Of music, especially oe the great
classics, has a very refining influence;
and that the attractions of vice in
youth can be fought best: yes, better
than by any other means, by the coun-

SHOULD Women Serve on School
Boards?" and Should Women Vote On

All expressed themselves as unani-

these questions.

REHEARSAL IS
WELL ATTENDED
MONDAY NIGHT
LARGE NUMBER GATHERED FOR
THIRD REHEARSAL OF HAY
DN's "cREATIoN" SOON TO BE
PRESENTED.

Tired. but happy, was the general
feeling among the worshippers at the
shrine of Saint Cecilia, VINO attended
the third rehearsal of the chorus
numbers of Haydn's Creation OH
Monday evening.
In spite of several counter attrac-
tions. political and otherwise, there
was a good attendance, about seventy
being present, and the same spirit %
determination to make the most of
these opportunities for musical culture
was displayed as at the previous re-
hearsals.
Awake the Harp" was the thorny'
path along which Mr.. ]. w. Lurton led
his Trojan forces furthest, for indeed
they worked like Trojans, and re-
sponded cheerfully to his reiterated
demands for more and yet more.
Comparison between the net results
of this third rehearsal and the first
shows what can be accomplished in
two short weeks. From the first doun-
dering in the mire, which ended in a
general ripple Of laughter, there has
been a development sufficient 70 pull
through each chorus without a break.
1t is upon this structure that a con-
ductor can now commence to .slabo-
rate and become critical. the road has
been investigated and the .horny
places exposed; every member of the
chorus now knows just where they
fall down, and the conductor knows
just where the weak spots are and
what to do to remedy them; it is also
