REELECTION OF HOWELL

In the reelection of Mayor
Howell Oh Saturday, New Castle
County, all Delaware, as well as
Wilmington, has reason for con-
graduation. The honor conferred
on him in his first election was
founded on opinion of the man
and promise; his reelection is
founded on actual worth, tried out,
and fact. 1t is indeed no small
honor and his administration won
it.
Without pretense or bombast, he
has given Wilmington creditable
administration and has done much
to bring her to realization Of her
possibilities. Safe, sane, progress
sive-are terms that can well be
applied to his term in office and
by cooperation with him, we be-
lieve that Wilmington can go far
in assuming her proper place
among the eastern cities. Not only
do we believe that Wilmington is
fortunate but the whole State as
well. In all the city movements,
toward closer cooperation with the
lower counties, he has been in
hearty accord and has taken more
than ordinary interest.
We look for big things in Will
mington during the next few years
and in Mayor Howell, we believe
she has a worthy asset toward their
execution.

CLEAN UP A BIT

Beginning Sunday morning,
Newark will be the center Of State
interest during the next week. Visi-
tors, more Of them than usual, will
be in town and to us comes the
duty of preparing for these hon
ored guests and making our best
impression.
AS Introductory to the hearty
welcome accorded them, let's do a
little extra town cleaning on Sat
Ill day. BY a general sWeeping-up
out front, we can do much toward
presenting better appearance.
Our Street Committee would do
well to give the cutters little ex-
ira flushing on Saturday morn
ing. The Sprinkler man must rea-
lize that it is Commencement and
Gala week for Newark. Then the
Boy Scouts can set good example
by seeing to it that their friends
remember the waste paper cans on
the street and urge their use.
This applies to everybody, our
selves included. Let's put on a
little extra touch for Commence
ment company.

The automobile equipment is COM

The hose reel will carry 1000
feet of 2 1-2 inch fire hose prop

PUT WIRES UNDER GROUND

Unsightly poles and overhang-
ing wires detract from the appear
ance Of any street. Existing con-
ditions in this respect have been
subject Of discussion for years. All
agree that the wires should be plac-
ed underground and the reason for
this neglect has been the hesitancy
of tearing up the streets for this
improvement.
Now that the streets will be torn
up in laying the Sewer, Council
can add much to the present and fu-
ture appearance of the town by
authorizing all wires to be placed
underground. This is the oppor-
tune time. 1t is likely that Council
will make permanent improve
ments to Main street next Spring,
thus practically preventing this i'm
provement for several years
We believe we are correct Ill eX-
pressing the opinion of the citizens
when we make this suggestion.
Action should be taken as soon as
possible in order that the compan-
les operating lines here could have
ample time to conform with the re-
quest.

HIGH STANDARD MAINTAINED

The favorable reputation and
character Of the dance at Della
ware College will be maintained.
Such is the statement given out by
the Faculty yesterday afternoon.
As will be seen in another column
the Faculty has taken strong at
titude on the subject of the Turkey
Trot, Tango and the like, and has
stated in no uncertain terms, its
position
This stand has been taken, not
because of any previous trouble
at College functions, but merely as
precautionary measure. In many
Of the dances held recently through
out the State, the grace and dignity
of the floor has been disgraced by
these semi-barbaric displays and
this action is to see to it that the
like is not attempted here.

aware is one of the social functions

continued from page u
70 meet the cost Of this engine
the fire company is asking for con-
tributions not only from the prop
erty owners of Newark but also the
farmers and others having property
in the rural districts near Newark.
AS the latter will be the ones es-
pecially benefited the firemen an
ticipate liberal financial help from
that source and in fact some con-
tributions have already started to
come in. Under the circumstances
the committee of the fire company
is anxious that all persons who in
tend to do so make their contribu-
tions as soon as possible. There
are in the vicinity Of Newark sew
elal hundred farmers and a number
of mill owners who are fully able
to assist considering the protection
that they will get and it is from
these that substantial assistance is
expected. The property owners OF
Newark, however, are also urged
to make liberal contributions.
The new machine is patterned
after the combination engine that
the Reliance Company of Whining
ton purchased from the same COM
pany some months ago, but it has
many improvements over the form
er machine and some of the equip
ment is arranged differently, which
adds to the efficiency of the fire
fighter. The finish decided on by
the committee, it is thought, will
greatly add to the attractiveness
Of the machine. Many Of the parts
are to be nickle-plated. The body
is to be finished in maroon and
gold and the running gear and
wheels in red and gold.
While the machine will be 80
horse power, it will be able to de-
velop 10. The pump capacity
will be 700 gallons a minute. One
Of the noticeable improvements
over the Reliance machine is that it
will have a frame of alloy steel
while the former has a wood frame.

ment of the machine as included in

CRANTHAM IN DEMAND

There are some men who ought
to be allowed to 60 when they hold
out for more money. One OF these,
however, is not Professor Grantham
agronomist at Delaware College.
He should not be released by the
state Of Delaware unless he wants
to go TO take the lucrative position
offered. With the work he is ac-
complishing among the farmers In
this state, who would vote no when
few hundred dollars would keep
him? We believe the people Of
Delaware made d mistake in letting
a now notable agronomist go at the
very time this state needed an ag-
ronomist. What is the use Of Della
ware boasting Of her pride as a
state, her leadership among the
States, if she is going to give up
her best men to other states as fast
as she develops them, and then ex-
pect to interest and keep at home
her boys?
Professor Grantham is a modest
young man, not afraid of work Or
of weather or even Of soiling his
hands or clothes to carry out his
corn growing, his persistence in
pushing alfalfa and his efforts for
b. tier wheat have already amount
ed to much more than the little diff
ference in the salary paid elsewhere
and the bare living offered him
here.
The development Of our agricult-
ure, raising ten more bushels to
the acre" for instance, is either
worth nothing or it is a big thing,
worth much more than can be
measured by one man s salary.
