MARYLAND SEEKS
COLLEGE PRESIDENT
Director Hayward Spoken Of
AS Head of NJ. 4. G.

Farmers and progressive educa-
tors throughout the State are be-
coming concerned over the report
that Director Hayward Of the State
Experiment Station is being con-
sidered as president of the Mary
land Agricultural College under
the projected reorganization.
The Caroline Sun of Maryland
in discussing the new organization
says,
"Up-tO-date farmers in this sec
ton are very much gratified at the
stand Governor Goldsborough is
taking in reference to the reorgani-
zation of the Maryland Agricultur-
al College.
This should be primarily a col
lege for the training of citizens and
farmers of Maryland, and not of
soldiers. While it is desirable to
include some military instructions,
and very necessary to do so in or
der to meet the requiremnts impos-
ed in the grants Of Federal funds
to the institution, it is more i'm
portant to train young men to live
successfully and happily in times
of peace than it is to train them for
the arts of war. Governor Colds
borough has asked for suggestions
from hundreds Of Maryland farm
ers, and many from this section
have written him urging him to ap-
point as head of the institution Di-
rector Hayward of the Delaware
State College. Maryland would,
indeed, be fortunate in securing the
services of such an able man."
A movement has already been
started in Delaware to prevail up
on Director Hayward not to con-
slider any offer.
A prominent farmer of Kent
county voiced. the sentiment Of
those acquainted with his work
when Sc said, ''He represents to
Delaware more than agricultural
leadership and the State cannot af-
ford to give him up

BASE BALL CLUB
ELECTS MANAGER
Extends Invitation To Tri-County League

Bert Everson, a player Of many
years experience, will manage the
Newark Tri-County League base
ball team the coming season. Ever
son was elected at a meeting of the
local club held here last week, with
out any opposition. Elmer Ellison
was elected business manager of the
club. Arrangements have already
been made for the same grounds
that were used last year and a
grandstand will be erected.
Manager Everson, who is now
employed at the plant of the Cont
mental Fibre Company, for many
years was well-known pitcher,
playing on Wilmington, Chester
and many other clubs during his
long career. He has been out of
baseball for several years but it is
possible that he will get in condition
again this season. Everson is to
have entire charge of the team on
the field and resolution was
adopted to that effect at the meet
ing last week.
Practice will be started early in
April and the players showing the
most ability will get the places on
the team. The matter of selecting
a captain was left with the manager
and the selection will not likely be
made until after he has seen the
candidates work out in practice.
The indications are that the team
will be just as strong and probably

POST OFFICE
FOR NEWARK
Congress To Appropriate
Money For Site

Residents Of Newark were great
ly pleased when it was learned
that the Public Buildings Commit
tee bill, introduced in the House of
Representatives at Washington, on
Saturday, carries with it an ap-
preparation Of $1,000, for the pur-
chase Of a site for a new postoffice
in Newark. This was the only Del
aware appropriation in the bill.
The movement for new postoffice
here was started some time ago, but
the fact that the movemnt had Sc
cured so far as the committee rec
ommending that 50, 900 be approp-
rated for site was a surprise to
local people 1t is now hoped that
after a site is secured tn eneXt Con-
gress will make the necessary ap-
preparation for ercting the build
ing. There is already much specu-
lation as to where the new postof-
flee should be located. There are
several sites on Main street that
will probably be considered. The
present postoffice is located in the
Opera House building on the COR
ner OF Main and Academy streets,
but the quarters have been 100
small for several years for the bust
ness of the office.
Newark post., 1913-02-19

a little stronger than last year.
Billy Jackson, it is understood,
will not be here and that will leave
the third base position open but
several likely candidates are talked
OF. Although catcher Marsey is
working in Chester, it is likely that
he will be able to get here and play
on Saturdays. There is some doubt
as to whether or not Scott Gregg
will play here as he has been offered
contract with the Wilkes Barre
New York State League. All other
players who were with the team
last season, it is understood, will
again be available.
The pitching staff will be
strengthened by good southpaw
as Jake Hogan has now lived in
Newark year and is eligible
Vie Willis, it is thought, also
will again pitch some of the games.
In addition to these two, George
Murray and Geoghegan, both of
whom did good work last year will
likely be out again.
Newark has invited the league to
hold its annual meeting here next
month. President Moore, of Ok
ford, will not be candidate for re-
election and Thomas Kav Of Elk
Mills is talked of for the position.
Manager Everson has been dele
gated to represent Newark at all
League meetings.

A MILE
OF PENNIES
Join i'm The Novel Plan To
Help Along the Town
Library

There are all sorts Of ways of
raising money for public institu-
tions, churches, etc, but one Of the
latest is the securing of "mile of
pennies Or $633 60 for the Town
Library. Now a penny is just an
inch in diameter and the mana
gers of the library-the members
of the New Century Club-have
procured slips of cardboard twelve
inches long with Sits in which to
insert one cent pieces. A foot Of
pennies therefore is the unit in this
novel plan and surely there is
hardly any grown-up in the town
Of Newark who will not fill at least
one of these slips before April l
and turn it over to the Library col
lector.
Sixty-three thousand and three
hundred pennies is a great many,
to be sure, and were so many to be
penned up in these little slips there
would be famine of pennies in
the town. SO the Library, which is
sorely in need Of funds to buy new
books, is asking at present for only
one thousand feet Of pennies, or
S12O. To this end it is distribut-
ing these slips to all patrons and
friends Of the library with the re-
quest that they be filled with pen
MES, returned to the library not
later than April l. (And this is
no April Fool joke either.)
Now, Mr.. Reader, instead of
grumbling and growing each week
because the library has not every
new book you see advertised just
press penny into the slot on your
card until you have filled ten or
twelve cards. This will mean $1.20
or Sl.44 to the library for the pur-
clf,c.se Of a new book. Or if you
have ~ mind to buy some new
novel give the money you woo|'
nav for it to she Town
ask it to buy tllv-. H"> -
whole town could get chanoo..
AT any rate get some library slips
and put every penny that comes
your way to this good use.
