DETAILED INFORMATION
ON u. D. G.. SCHOLARSHIP
BY


As so many questions are being asked
about United Daughters of the Confed-
eracy scholarships and as there seems
10 be some misunderstanding regarding
some of them, | wish to call especial
attention to the following circular let
ter just received from Miss Mary b
Poppenheim, general chairman of the
United Daughters of the Confederacy
scholarships. All applicants should
read carefully this circular, as 1t gives
the information many are seeking. My
one regret is that the United Daugh-
ters of the Confederaey have not suffi-
cient number to give to each and every
one of the many who are ambitious
enough to apply for these valuable
scholarships:

house of a presumably wealthy widow,
who has been doing. a good deal of politi-
cal entertaining of late The guests, to
the number of a dozen. had Just finished
their soup when the unfortunate Incl
cent occurred. The scramble to find 4
sufficient number of candles so that the
dinner might proceed was attended with
a good deal of difficulty and no little
amusement. The butler who is described
as being a bit new to his job, was i'm
medlately told to telephone to the local
electric company and report the catas-
trophe, and demand immediate attention
to the matter. 1t was a trying moment
for the guests when he returned to the
dining room and announced in real
Cokney accent: please, my lady, the
gentleman what's ON the telephone says
they sent several warning letters un-
less the account was paid active steps
would have to be taken" After this ev-
erybody agreed that dining by candle
light was far more preferable and less
injurious to the eyes than in the case
of electric illumination.

Scranton Is a favOrite occupation It
pays to advertise.
Scranton has an area of 20 square
miles and is built on a foundation Of
solid anthracite coal. All over the city
thousands of men are working in the
mines digging out this foundation, in
consequence of which Scranton has many
10 story cellars and the earth occasional
" faints away beneath the citizens hum
bic cottage in a disagTeeable manner.
Scranton is no better than other cities
in summer, but is a paradise IN winter
owing to the extreme hardness of the
coal supply and the happy citizen can
buy his steam heat at meter rates as
easily as he can buy natural gas in Kan
sas
Scranton was laid out IN 1910, and at
that time had intentions of becoming
the Pittsburg of America. However, the
rolling mills moved away In order to be
nearer to Andrew Carnegie, and since
then the city has mined coal and licked
stamps for a living. 1t has 10000 m
habitants, almost half of whom know
how to swing pick. Scranton has many
thousands Welsh, English and Irish citi-
zens, but they live together more peace
ably than they do across the ocean
Scranton nestles among the 1900 foot
mountains of eastern Pennsylvania, and
is more interesting underground and
overhead than it is on the street level.
Producing poor miners sons who have a
chance to become president has been its
greatest diversion, but none of them has
got farther than congress as yet-Copy-

WANT THE U.S.. S.
DELAWARE HERE
FOR FAIR WEEK

The mercantile committee OF the
Chamber of Commerce, acting in con-
junction with the publicity bureau,
has been given authority by the board
of directors of the Chamber of Com
merco, to cooperate with the State
Fair Association in advertising the
State Fair 1t IS the intention at
this time to have an "Old Home
Week Celebration fair week, the
home celebrations to be held in the
evening An effort it is thought,
which viii be successful, is to be
made TO have the battleship Della
ware here during the celebration. No
effort is to be spared by the Cham
bcr of Commerce to utilize the State
Fair as a means to advertise the city.
lt is believed that the Delaware State
Fair can be made one of the most
important fair events in the East.
September O. 10. II, u promise big
this year, and everybody wants to get
behind the movement
There will be something doing
every minute The battleship will be
open for inspection only in the morn
ing. There will be the fair in the af-
ternoon and the home coming func-
lions in the evening. II was believed
by many that a mistake was made
last year in separating the home week
and the fair events. and it is believ-
ed that the concentration of the two
events on the same dates will b'
more impressive in every way.
