Attempt Made
To Wreck Train

The Lancaster, Oxford & South
ern Railroad, purchased recently
by a number of residents along it's
route resumed operations after two
months suspension on Friday, and
an attempt was made to wreck the
first train started. The car run by
a gasoline motor which has been
carrying mails during the suspen-
sion had preceded the regular train
Passing woods near Tweedale, the
car struck large stone, buried in
the road bed and covered with dirt
so as to escape notice. The car was
thrown from the track down the
embankment, and James McMich-
ael, John Huss and Samuel Ed
wards hurled Is feet into a small
stream. All were badly bruised
and McMichael's collar bone was
broken. The would-be wreckers, it
is thought, were residents dis
gruntled by the roads resumption
of operation.

MORE INTEREST In SCHOOLS

II is no idle ambition to wish
that the Public Schools of Newark
should stand highest in the State
with the possible exception of Will
mington. That they are not SO
recognized is a fact that should be
frankly admitted and the improve
ment started at once. This is said
in no spirit of carping criticism
but is presented in the hope that a
keener interest be manifested. No
School Board nor corps of teachers
can bring the school to it's highest
grade of efficiency without the in
terest and support or public opin-
ion. That our schools do not have
that proper support is clearly DEM
onstrated in school affairs here
during the past few years.
Now at the beginning OF this
school term, it is hoped that the
citizens will take keener interest
in our school system.
Criticisms expressed privately do
harm rather than good. The points
at issue should be brought to the
attention of the Board to be taken
up with the teaching staff. Nor
should suggestions thus made be
resented by those conducting the
school. While they may at times
be utterly impracticable, they
should be given and received in
spirit Of genuine cooperative in
terest.
The schools should be in the clos
est possible touch with the College
and work in harmony with her
Faculty.
There are many improvements
that can be made While it is true
that the burden on taxpayers has
been severe during the past few
years, much can be done without
increase of expense. More interest
and loyalty can be expressed and
every citizen can by such express
sion add zest to the work of the
teachers. Let us give them better
support during this coming year.
And let us determine TO raise the
standard here to rank as the best
in the State.

TREE SLAUGHTER

There is no better way to judge
the spirit Of progress in town
than to look at the care and atten-
ton given to its trees. While the
permission given corporations to
slaughter our trees is disgusting, it
is at the same time amusing in that
it shows up our crude provincial
ism.
No own worthy Of the name of
progress would for a minute permit
the merciless hacking that we have
witnessed this last week. Towns
on to their job either have the
wires placed under ground or COM
pei the companies to use insulated
wires so as not to interfere with
the growth of the tree.
It's progress all right to have the
wires but it's back-woods philos-
ophy that permits a cold-blooded
hacking by some city rube who
fails to appreciate tree.
There are towns near Newark
that our experience this week
would not have permitted for a
minute. The company that butch
cred Main street smile when we
grant such privileges. Their wires
in many places are cables and they
dare not trim twig.
Where is our President of the
Board of Trade with his knowledge
of forestry! Tell us where to get
off.

Hand Cut OFF
BY Fodder Cutter

James McTague, aged about 40
years, while assisting in the cut
ting of fodder on the farm of Will
lam S. Kennedy, near Strickers-
vile early this morning, had his
right hand cut off at the wrist by
getting it caught in the fodder cut
ter. In some manner while work
ing around the machine the unfor-
,tunate man got his hand in the ma
chine and before it could be stop
ped his hand was dragged in and
the knife went through both flesh
and bone at the wrist. DR.. West of
Kemblesville dressed the wound,
after which the injured man was
sent to the Delaware Hospital,
Wilmington.

Utilize Almshouse Farms

Why not utilize our County aims
house farms for demonstration
farms? We have one in each coun-
ty all comparatively centrally To-
Gated. 1t would be good thing for
the counties and also for these
farms. In this way they could be
made more productive and self
supporting, and, inadvertently, be
removed from the domain of poll
tics.-Sussex Republican.

Judging from scenes witnessed
on Main street this week, the Will
mington Traction Company has
been appointed as the Tree Com
mission.
Local fishermen are refused pub
ication of these wonderful catches
unless the fish are brought to this
office for inspection. We have done
a little fishing ourselves and recog-
nize the temptation.
1t looks as if the Germans are 90
ing to march into Paris. Well, it's
glad we are, that the United States
IS not trying to prevent them.
This war, terrible as it is, has
put Bryan to work. They do say,
ne can do detailed clerical work if
he has to.
One thing is certain, it must be a
terrible mix-up, if he can t say how
to run it or stop it. It's a Is to l
shot ne has an opinion but Wilson
won't let him express it.

1.-THE LAST DAYS OF PoMPElI."
Gigantic Spectacle in Three Acts OF
Two Parts Each at Opera House
on Friday the 18th.

That the elementary feelings and
passions of human nature were the
same eighteen centuries ago as they
are today is most forcibly lllustrat-
ed in Geo. Kleines photo drama ex-
quisite, "The Last Days of Pompell."
announced for Friday, January 18th,
at the Germania opera house, with
matinee at 4:15 and evening at 7:l5
and $780,
The principal characters of the story
are Nydia, the blind flower girl, who
passionately loves the handsome and
wealthy Greek youth, Glaucus, who
pities the blind girl, but is himself In
love with lone, the beautiful Athen-
ian maiden. Another virile factor is
the proud Egyptian priest, Arbaces,
whose passion for lone leads him to
terrible extremes, even to numbering
her brother, Apecides. Then there
are the idle pleasure seekers, Clodlus
and Sallust, friends of Glaucus, and
the repulsive sorceress of Vesuvius,
who herself had her love tale; Burbc
and Stratonica, keepers of the tavern,
the gladiators and host of others, all
woven into a tale of mastery quality
and absorbent interest; all actuated
by the passions of love, hate, avarice
and ambition; each with their petty
jealousies and parallel joys and pleas
ures. 1t was the same world then as
it is today, the only difference being
that the development of christianity
and civilization has taught the world
