Newark Grange
Discusses Education

That grangers are taking lively
interest in the subject Of education
was proved conclusively during the
course of a discussion of Delaware
schools at the monthly meeting Of
the local grange on Monday even
ing. A few remarks by Lecturer
Houchin regarding the bill now be-
fore the Legislature precipitated a
lively debate among the members
upon education in general and Del
aware schools in particular
The provision of this bill for the
formation of school districts upon
the basis of present political dis
tricts was criticised upon the
grounds of economy. Other speak
ers suggested that the present lack
Of uniformity in the different parts
Of the State school system would
be remedied by the appointment of
a State Superintendent of Educa-
ton, who should be Immediately re-
sponsible for the unifcation Of the
schools. This proposition also was
attacked on grounds of economy. 1t
seemed to be generally felt that
there should be a definite chief of
the school system who should be
able to standardize courses of in
structiOn and methods of teaching.
The recnt visit to the town of
Miss Rosalie Jones and her army
seems to have had some influence
upon our people if one can judge
from the result of vote upon the
equal rights proposition. By the
small majority of one vote the
grange showed its stand upon this
question of national Importance.
Lecturer Houchin outlined his
plans for entertainment at future
grange meetings. That of April 7
should be of particular interest in
asmuch as DR.. Reed will show the
relations of animals to human dis
eases and will then give time for a
thorough discussion Of this subject
on the part of the members. The
Lecturer deserves much credit for
arranging such program as it is
one in which all should show an in
terest and take an active part.
At this point III the proceedings
the most welcome announcement
Was made that the entertainment
committee had provided refresh
mcnts. There followed a half-hour
of good things to eat and good
things to talk about that formed a
fitting conclusion to an enjoyable
evening.

Large Contract Awarded
Local Engineer

The government contract for in
stalling water system at the Get
tysburg Battlefield has been award
ed to L. B. Jacobs of this town.
This system is to be installed
ready for service in July when the
50th Anniversary Of the Battle of
Gettysburg is celebrated. The oc-
casion will be a National affair and
upward of $4,000 soldiers will par
ticipate in the 3 day ceremonies.
Mr.. Jacobs will begin work in a
few weeks. The contract calls for
the laying Of 8 miles of pipes and
erection of four $4,000 gallon
tanks.
The encampment will be laid off
in streets and according to the
plans Of Mr.. Jacobs, no company
will be over 100 feet from hydrant
service. Practically the system
will be one equal to the accomoda-
ton of city of 10000 to $4,000
people.
Of National interest, it has been
estimated that half million visit
ors will attend the celebration.
By this, one can form some idea of
the contract and responsibility CIV

NEWARK RECOGNISED
AT STATE CAPITOL
LOCAL LEGISLATION EFFECTED BY GENERAL
ASSEMBLY-REPRESENTA HOFFECKER
PROVING HIMSELF A LEADER

Any one posted on affairs at
Dover during the last week, recog-
nizes clearly the existence of a GER
tain town called Newark, and are
forced to admit Of its Importance.
Another significant fact worthy OF
|mention-a certain representative
called Harvey Hoffecker is on to
This Job. This is in keeping with a
news article as well as an editorial
|opinion. Starting out last week he
has led or figured prominently in
legislation affecting directly this
community. Partly from a purely
local standpoint and other legisla-
/ ltion affecting the State at large.
COLLEGE CHARTER.
After several years Of discussion
! the College Charter has passed both
houses and, with the Governor S
signature, which is reasonably as
Sarcd, will become effective. This
piece of Legislation in charge OF
Mr.. Ilotfecker will do much to-
ward establishing the status OF the
College as State institution.
TIE SUMNER SCHOOL BILL.
The Summer School for Teachers
has passed the two houses and will
ln all probability become a law.
I'fhis School, as proposed, will not
onIy fill a need for training OF
teachers but will attract attention
to the State institution. Public
School teachers coming here under
the College atmosphere will better
realizc their responsibility as a
part of our State educational sys-
tenn.
AFFILIATED COLLEGE.
The question Of Higher Educa-
lon for Women has agitated the
public mind in Delaware for twen-
y years. The bill presented by
Or. Cooper on Friday was passed
Oy the House Of Representatives
without a dissenting vote.
Although this bill came from the
State Board of Education and was
not under the personal directions

N$ Interested. Newark, or those

BIG MILK YIELDS AT
THE COLLEGE FARM
RECORDS MADE BY THOROUGHBREDS-
LESSON TO DAIRY FARMERS

While Delaware cannot be con-
sidered a dairy state as whole,
there are many farmers in New
Castle County whose principle
source of income is derived from
the sale of milk. Owing to the in
creasing demand from the cities
for an adequate supply, it is prob
able that the Importance of dairy
ing will rapidly increase in our
state, and more farmers turn their
attention to this line of effort.
Few states are so favOrably sit
uated for dairying as Delaware.
The climate, transportation facili-
ties and markets are uneXcelled.
The growing season is long, and a
large part Of the feed essential for
a maximum production can be pro-
duced to an advantage on most
farms i'll the northern part Of the
State. Hence, the cost Of produc-
ing milk will compare favorably
with most sections Of the country.
The greatest difficulty in the profit
able production of milk and butter
is in getting satisfactory cows. The
average COW that produces but $500
pounds of milk and $50 pounds of
butter is a source of constant loss
to the farmer. A yield Of twice
this amount, with good care, is
easily obtained from cows of great
er capacity.
At the College farm careful re-

part to his untiring efforts.
The interest of the coming week
is whether the Senate will be SO
alert to the needs. Opinion as now
generally expressed is that this
question will be decided favorably
adding another force to better cit
izenship.
THE SEWER BILL.
For quick action, the passage of
the Sewer Bill holds the record in
Delaware Legislation. This bill
under the personal supervision OF
Mr.. Hoffecker, passed both houses
with a speed becoming political
master. These successes were not
the result Of luck but Of hard con-
centrated work on the part of the
local representative.
RAILROAD BILLS.
Entirely through the efforts OF
Mr.. Hoffecker, a Waterman will be
placed at the Newark and Lum.
brook Crossings both night and
day. Another improvement, all
trains stopping at Newark Center
must stop before reaching the Main
street, thus relieving a great in,
convenience to the travelling pub
lie. The gates at this crossing will
be kept up until it is necessary to
put them down for passing trains.
These assurances have been made
to Mr.. Hoffecker by Railroad au-
thorities and orders issued for car
rying out the same
The Hawthorne Crossing on the
b. g. O. near town will also be
safe-guarded with. an automatic
bell. Another improvement IS that
the Pennsylvania Railroad has
agreed to raise the overhead bridge
at Stanton so that the farmers can
90 under with a load of hay. Or
ders issued to start this improve
ment at once.
These things, with the Armory
bill, $4,000 for good roads IN
White Clay Creek, $500 per mile
for repairs to macadam roads
make Hoffecker's story read like a
campaign bulletin-but as matter
of fact they are a bare resume OF
performances of hard and practi,
cal interest to the town and State.

ION HILL MINES
CREATING INTEREST
ADDITIONAL MACHINERY BEING INSTALLED
PROSPECTS OF PETROLEUM

Newark is gradually becoming
interested in the mining opera
tious on Iron Hill. Last fall, when
the news Of the new enterprise was
first received, many doubted its
merits and considered it too i'm
practicable to command serious at
tpntion. For years, there has been
a conviction that ore was present
on the hills but not in sufficient
ulautitics to warrant financial i'll
tprrSt.
The present company, represented
hv ". NJ. Scott, is firm in the con-
viction that they have struck a
money proposition. Starting their
plant with the idea Of iron and a
bv-product for the manufacture of
paint. they have in their investiga-
lions found gold and platinum in
sufficient quantities to increase the
size of their operations.
Mr.. Scott has been making the
most OF the winter season III pre-
pairing for these additions to be-
gin in the early summer.
In order to properly care for
the recent discoveries, it will be
necessary to install additional ma
chinery costing upward Of 500, 900
With this equipment, they expect
to handle 300 tons of ore daily, op-
rrating continuously the "a hours.
The power and crusher already
Installed are adequate for this out
put. The additional outlay will be
expended for pulverizers and con-
centratOrs.

PETROLEUM FOUND.
In the course of the speculations
OF the last few weeks, petroleum
has been found. Immediately on
this discovery, an oil expert has
been on the ground, his investiga-
tons confirming the result. AL
though it is not yet known what
quantities of oil are to be had, it
Is at least receiving serious atten-
ton of those interested.
Mr.. Scott is shipping this week
specimens of ore to Dover, where
experts in machine operations will
pass on it and advise regarding the
best methods and types of machine
to use for the extraction of metals
as found here. The additional ma
chinery will be placed ready for
use by June, 1t is expected to en-
plOy from Is to 100 men.
If the confidence shown by this
company be well-fOunded it will be
no small asset to the business inter
ests of Newark.

to stir the local interests and con-
fidence in the enterprise is gradu-
