FREE VAUDEVILLE NOW
offered AT THE SPRINGS

Vaudeville opens at Brandywine
Springs Park today for a season, and
an excellent bill will be given in the
park theatre each afternoon and
evening. While a few seats in the
centre Of the theatre will be reserved
the others will be free and admis-
sion will be free, so that the public
will practically be given free show
1t Is the aim of the park manage
ment to give the best vaudeville show
which has ever been given in a park
regardless of whether an admission
is charged.
While an excellent bill had already
been engaged for this week, General
Manager Crook, of the Peoples Rail-
way, yesterday ordered another act
added, so there may be no doubt
about the size Of the show. The bill
as already announced includes: The
Dancing Kleins, two of the best
dancers in vaudeville. who will feat
ure the Tango and their own Tested
Dance: Bobby Mack, a dispenser of
refined Irish wit and humor; Burt
and Farlow, in a clever rural comedy
skit entitled, Country Life" a farce
comedy, Fun in a Wireless Ex-
change in which the entire com
pany will appear, assisted by George
w. Lewis, known in vaudeville as the
German Nut" This bill will give
the public something out Of the ordi-
nary.
Another change will 60 into effect
at the park tomorrow. Hereafter
women will be admitted free to the
dancing pavilion. The claim is now
made that the floor of the dancing
pavilion is the best dancing floor
in the State and it is also the largest
The manner In which the pavilion
is conducted. its situation over the
lake, which makes it always cool and
pleasant, and the full orchestra which
provides music for the dancers,
make it one Of the most attractive
amusements in the park and the
patronage is steadily growing each
day.

Students TO SHOW
their HANDIWORK

The exhibits of the departments of
the Wilmington High School will take
place on Monday afternon and even
ing, June %. Not only will the manual
training and science departments
have exhibitions, but also the aca-
1emic departments.
Much comment has been caused by
the exhibit of the work of the pupils
in the elementary schools, which took
place during the early part of .he
month. Both parents and teachers
we're greatly pleased with the work
Of the children and credit was re-
6ected on the schools In speaking
Of the exhibit in her annual report,
Miss Bessie G. Devine, assistant
superintendent of schools, says ir
part:
"On the whole there was a most
positive gain over last years work.
1t shows greater care and skill in
expression, more originality, larger
power of initiative, and the pleasure
Of achievement
These exhibits serve first, as
valuable incentive to good work ON
the part of both teacher and pupil;
second, they tend to strengthen the
bond of sympathy between home and
school, thereby making the school the
social centre of the community; third
they help to reveal to the people the
purpose of school work and the trend
of educational thought.
1T was my privilege TO visit every
elementary school during the week,
and 1t was a source of great pleasure
and satisfaction to meet so many of
the parents and to hear them express
their appreciation of the value of the
instruction which their children are
receiving.
Miss Mclaughlin, the supervisor OF
sewing, and her teachers are to be
commended for the excellent results
achieved.
"The unfortunate condition now
confronting school systems in this
country is that so per cent. of the
children are leaving the schools be-
fore completing the elementary
grades. This great problem of meet
ing the needs Of this multitude now
leaving the schools is now being car
lied out through the introduction of
prevocational training of different
types"

CIVICS Glasses IN
HOTEL DUPONT Reunion

The first annual reunion of the
civics classes of the Wilmington
High School will be held at the Hotel
DUPONT on Thursday night of this
week. It will be the first reunion OF
the various classes that have taken
the wilmington Plan" as the course
is known throughout the country,
and the classes from 1911 to 1914 will
all be represented on that night A
business meeting will be held in the
parlors of the hotel at o'clock, and
at 8 o'clock the banquet will be
served in the Rose Room, with covers
laid for 1875 persons.
The applied civics with laboratory
work was begun in the February
class of 1911 and the various activi-
ties have greatly broadened in scope
since that time.
The purpose of the organization
is ID to stimulate continued interest
in civics problems, % to keep the
cooperative spirit developed in the
civics course alive, (3) to keep close
ly in touch with the world interests
of the civics students, (4) to support
the work of the civics department Of
the Wilmington High School so that
it may be extended from year to, year
and co to stimulate interest in a
business-like government for Will
mington.
The organization will consist Of a
president, secretary and treasurer,
elected at large, and a vice-president
from each class. The various forms
of activities will be decided upon at
the meeting and all elections will be
held previous to the banquet.
1t is probable that the new associa-
tion will seek permission to hold
meetings in the Wilmington High
School building and will prominently
identity its efforts toward other civic
bodies in matters for the local up
lift.

HEALTH AUTHORITIES

Little Rock, July 3.-"The opening of the Panama Canal and New Or leans as a port of entry for the inn migrant hordes will force the health authorities of the Southern States to be more viligant than ever before" decalred Dr. C. w. Garrison, of the State Board of Health. "That will be one of the penalties of the South will be required to pay for progress. Dis ease peculiar to other countries will have a better opportunity for getting into this country, unless the restric- tions are drawn tighter"

Mccall planned the road some time ago, and took the necessary steps to have the work commenced. This road will be shorter than the old road and will have steel bridges over the creeks and sloughs. County Judge Mccall has held office two years and was renominated for second term last March. He was elected on a good roads platform and has devoted a great part of his time to the improve ing of the county roads. All exist ing roads have been thoroughly worked and many new roads have been built in places where they were needed.

MORE THAN ONE THOUSAND
 SILOS IN ARKANSAS
Farmers Depending on Storing Corn in SilOs will be Disappointed. May be Filled With COwpeas, Soy
 Beans of Clover.

Little Rock, June 3.-Commissioner Page reports that there are now more than a thousand silos in Arkansas. there being over one hundred in Washington and Benton Counties. "The long continued dry weather has had serious effect upon the corn crop" declared MT. Page, land many farmers who have depended upon their corn of early planting to fill their silos will be disappointed. How ever, corn planted the first week of July, if it is of an early maturing var iety will make in time to be used for silage. Immature corn does not make as good silage as the mature, yet it will make good feed. Seed of the 80 or 90 day variety should be plant ed at this late day.
 "Silos may be filled with cow-peas and soy beans or clover when mixed with pea vines or soy beans. Alfalfa may also be used with clover and peas. There being a short crop in most sections on account of the drouth it is important to get the silos filled even though it be necessary to resort to some of the other crops in part or in whole to do it. An empty silo is heavy tax on a farmer"

ANORTHER DETERMINED
 EFFORT TO BE MADE

Little Rock, July 3.-That another determined effort will be made in the next l egislature to secure the enact ment of game laws is declared ,crtain ty the game conservationists.
 For years the sportsmen and es- pecially the nonresident sp>"ts .n who realize that Arkansas is one of the best game and fish states in the Union, have been buying large tracts of land and water, where the game is most plentiful. Here they are estab- fishing private preserves where they are permitted to go in the open season and kill such game as may be found on the preserves. In consequence, the choicest feeding and breeding grounds of the state are converted in to death traps for the wild life.
 Unless some provisions are made soon,2 says leader in the movement, "for place for our wild life to feed and raise their young it is only question of a short time until the game and fish of the state will be ex- terminated. The time has come when we must look to the enactment of laws that will protect especially bird life for the benefit of our agricultural interests more than for our sports men,"
