DISTRICT COURT
NOW IN SESSION
Judge Powers, of Carroll, Arrived on
Monday and Court Calendar I'm
mediateIy Called.
F. A. TRUE FOREMAN OF JURY
Today Case of Retman VS. Retman Is
U p for TriaI-SeveraI Formal
Matters Disposed Of.

Judge Powers arrived on Monday
and opened the district court early in
the afternoon. The calendar was
called and the cases to be tried were
noted for trial, after which an assign
ment was made of the equity cases to
be disposed of this week. Later on
the court assigned few law eases to
be tried before the jury, which will be
here on Monday next. This week will
conclude the trial of the equity cases.
The grand jury was impanelled with
F. A. True as foreman, the other
members of the grand jury being as
follows: Ed Reimer, J. H. Schmadeke,
Broder Boysen, Herman Otto, T. A.
Hickey, John Hickey.
Carl Richardson is acting as clerk
Of the grand jury, and Mr. Bell, the
new county attorney, is looking after
the legal part of the work of that
body. Mr.. Bell is student of the law
and no doubt will soon become famil-
lar with the criminal end of the law.
Today the case of Retman VS. Ret
man, in which three of his boys appear
as plaintiff and the father as defend
ant, is on trial The case is a con-
test over the rights of the several
boys in some property here in the

other road at the same, point wher'
the present crossing now is. Mr.. Ham
mil ayers that the railway compan.
will do the necessary grading free o
charge for the new highway, which
will cost in the negihborhood of $500
1t will be necessary for the city tt
build a hundred and twenty rods o.
| fence north of the new road in order
to enclose it from the McHenry pas
| ture.
The old crossing will remain, but
will be closed with gates and will be
used by the McHenry's in transferring
cattle from their barns on the south
side of the tracks to their pastures
on the north.
We do not think that better solu-
ton of the crossing could have been
made, for it does away with the cross
ing at the sand pit and also the one
below and in going to Arion it will
only be necessary to cross the tracks
of the Boyer Valley branch and the
Illinois Central, neither of which are
dangerous crossings. Those who wish
to travel south and west of Denison
can cross at the sand pit or, better
still, just east of the North Western
passenger station, where gates are
provided to shut off the traffic when
trains are approaching. We under
stand that the North Western will
put in an electric bell at the sand pit
crossing, which will ring automatical-
ly when train is within a certain
distance of the crossing Another of
these bells will be installed at the
Cochran crossing east. of town, which
is considered to be one of the most
dangerous in the county. The North
Western officials are anxious to rem.
edy this crossing and if the owner of
this tract of land consents they will
remove the high embankments to the
east and west side of the road for a
sufficient distance to permit wayfar
ers to observe oncoming trains from
both east and west. 1t has been ar
ranged that the North Western will
do this work at their own expense.

MONTESSORI METHODS
In THE HOME
Old Mammy's Philosophy Of
Child Life

In an article, "The New Free
dom for Little Children" by Mary
Heaton Worse, published in the
October number of the Woman s
Home Companion, the following
conversation with Sarah, colored
cook is given as illustrative of the
opportunities that come to the
American mother for the applica-
tion Of the Montessori method in
the home:
Hannah May, she's my little
girl. She's four years old an
tain t good for no four-year-old
child to be lef' home when her
mammy's out workin'. So when |
engage for a place l jes materially
bring Hannah May long with
me-
Sarah was told Hannah May
might come, provided she did not
interfere with the work.
Law, ma am, Hannah May
he'ps me. Hannah May she's got
a natchul gift fo' kitchen work an
housework. -
Next day when the mistress went
out in the kitchen, Hannah May,
black as coal, was preparing to
beat eggs for a pudding.
Hannah May" her mother ad-
monished, "don't you beat no mo-
eggs than what yo' got fingers on
|yo' hands. Yo' got five fingers on
yo' hands. Hold yo' hand up so
Nanny can look at 'em. Now yo'
tell off one egg fo' every one fin
ger-fve.'
Wont she spoil those eggs, )"
the mistress inquired.
Law, ma am" Sarah replied,
Il learned Hannah May to break
an egg right deft long ago. Nothin'
small children like SO much as to
bus an egg out an egg shell. All
they got to do is to be learned how
to hit sem right. -
Hannah May, it seemed, adored
beating eggs. The only difficulty
was in preventing Hannah May
from beating all the eggs in the
house. She broke them over the
Newark post., 1913-10-01

side Of the bowl with the deftness
Of forty instead of four.
At supper time Hannah May was
grinding meat in the chopping ma
chine. She helped her mother wipe
the dishes. She hulled berries and
shelled peas. She even sifted -four
for biscuits. A few days later the
mistress found her alone in the din
ing room.
"What are you doing here?' she
asked her.
"I'm settin' the table, ma am, y
replied Hannah May with great
matter-of- -factness.
"Indeed she was. 1t took her a
long time to do it, but she set the
table like grown-up person. Later
in the day she was found cutting
out cookies and biscuits and put
ting them in the pan. She was
teaching the other children to per-
form this fascinating work. Han
nah May was busy all the time at
something.
"No M" her mother told her
employer, 81 don't ak her to do
nothin' she don't banker to do.
She's too little to be made to work,
but she mostly likes doin' some
thin and she just is natchul gift
ed"
Of course, other children in the
house had never been allowed to
do any useful work in the kithcen,
but Sarah didn't mind children
mussing up the kitchen for her and
it presently appeared that Hannah
Mays natural gift for kitchen
work was catching. The children
pared potatoes with unbelievable
patience. Sarah would repeat,
"No, honey, don't you hold your
knife like that. Your sure cut your
self that away. Catch a holt on it
like this" and she would wait un-
til the child had realized how it
SnOuld take nOld OF the knife.
This woman was a natural teach
er, and by her willingness to show
children how to do work of various
sorts she differed from most grown
up people who, ''while they love
children, don t want to be bothered
with them underfoot while they are
working" The things these child
ren were learning under the direc-
ton Of Sarah was work admirably
adapted for young children. They
were learning to do things for
themselves. And all natural child
ren who have not been badly train
ed love to do things by themselves.
They love to do everything that
makes their bodies serviceabld to
them in the highest degree.

MASONIC LODGE in
ANNUAL SESSION
Pleasing Report From
Masonic Home

The Grand Lodge of Delaware,
A. F. & A. M. met in annual ses-
sion in Wilmington today. One OF
the interesting features Of the
meeting was the financial condi-
ton of the new Masonic Home on
Lancaster turnpike.
The report not only shows the
home entirely free from debt, but
it presents figures as to the amount
of money which has been set aside
for endowment purposes. Consld-
ering that the time has been so
short since the opening Of the beau
tiful building, the public no doubt
is proud of the fact that the order
has established this institution so
firmly.
While practically all the large
improvements to the property were
complete when the home was dedi-
Gated, many smaller improvements
have since been made. The beauti-
full grounds surrounding the home
have been beautified, improved
lanes leading from the turnpike to
the buildings have been completed,
bronze sign to designate the prop
erty has been erected at the en-
trance and other improvements
have been made.
There are now seven persons llv-
ing in the home and three more are
to go there. Accommodations are
available for about Is.
Detailed announcements concern
ing the affairs of the home to be
made at the meeting Of the Grand
Lodge will be awaited with inter-
est not only by the Masons them
selves, but the public as well.

Novel Detective Stories
Series To Appear In Philadel
phia North American

A new writer of detective stor-
les who within the last year has
startled English and American
readers by producing an entirely
new line of stories of crime myster-
les, is about to be exploited by the
Sunday North American.
Sax Rohmer is the name OF the
new writer, and the stories OF the
series relate the battle of wits be-
tween Neyland Smith, one OF Scot
land Yards brightest mystery
solvers, and DR.. Flu Manchu, mys-
terious Oriental, whose resourceful-
ness and courage in the commit
ting Of crime are enough to test the
ability of the worlds greatest
sleuths.

GOVERNMENT ROADS
I. G. duPonts S Views On The
Subject

Writing on government roads, T.
Coleman dupont says:
National Highways, built, own
ed, maintained and controlled by
the Federal government under the
direction of a National Highway
Commission, that will pay for
themselves and ultimately be a
source of income, constitute the one
and only logical plan so far sug-
gested to bring about a unified and
effective system Of highways thru
out the entire country. But next
In Importance to a strong national
sentiment to push ahead the cause
of National Highways and good
roads everywhere in some compre-
hensive plan Of action. Public
spirit is awakening to our over
whelming lack of good road facili-
ties and their attendant evils.
Newark post., 1913-10-01
By order of
Fire Chief WILSON

The Flu Manchu stories represent
the biggest thing in detective fic-
ton since the Sherlock Holmes
productions. They are absolutely
new and altogether different from
any other detective stories ever
written. They will prove divert
ing to any reader of modern fiction,
because they represent the very
best of the novelties.
The first of the series of ten stor-
les will be printed in the Sunday
North American for October 5.

But public sentiment is slow, un-
certain in its movements if not
guided and led by a definite and
logical aim. We need to crystalize
sentiment. We need action Each
year means billions of dollars vast
ed. We need a well defined plan
to follow and public sentiment will
push it along.
The National Highways Associa-
ton has devised, after an exhaus-
tive study, plan and the only
plan yet advanced for a compre-
hensive and unified system of
Good Roads. Everywhere in these
United States at no permanent ex-
pense to the nation but source of
revenue.
This system of National High
ways of not to exceed $4,000 miles
(only 2 per cent of our mileage) is
so located as to serve over fifty
(50) per cent of our population.
At the high figure Of $4,000 per
mile, this system would cost $500,
600, 900. A lot Of money, but it
will all come back many times over.
The United States Government
gave 81, $1,0O0,000,000, twice this
amount, to our privately owned
railroads to help build them which
Will never come back Except in
dlrectly). Cannot it afford to
spend one-half the amount in
building our highways when it will
be returned? Would not this do
more good to more people? Yes,
a thousand times over.
10 say nothing Of the fact that
such expenditures would in years
to come be returned to tht whole
people in the ultimate: earnings
thus brought about, paying for
themselves and bringing in a larger
income than is coming into the ma
ton today from all sources.
