Salisbury and said: Salisbury,
the mules are all right. They are
the emblem Of the Democratic
party, but like it they don't al
ways pull together But when the
party does get going it pulls like
those mules will when they start
together" Almost before he had
stopped speaking the two mules
started together ana with such
jump that the teamster was almost
thrown from his seat,-another
Democratic trait.
The Vice-President then turned
to Governor Miller and remarked:
''There is a team | would like to
see together and that is a bullmoose
and an elephant. I" The governor
as we'll as the officers saw the joke
and their laughter showed that they
appreciated it.
Monday: arose at 4.45, packed
up, breakfasted and broke camp at
6 a. m. The march proper began.
A pleasing feature is the presence
of Governor Miller at the head Of
the command This action on the
part Of the Governor is greatly ap-
preciated by the men Of the regi-
ment. In his usual whole hearted
way he has departed from the GUS
tom of a formal review of dress
parade, and chosen to share with
? the boys, the actual inconvenience
Q of the march and camp life.
t The first days march extended
to st. Georges on the G. & d. canal
r This was an excellent spot for
: camping, because the men could

Newark's New lndustry---Old
Firm Establishes Branch
OPPORTUNITY FOR FARMERS

The Ritter concern does not can
tomatoes, but uses them for catsup
entirely. A 650-horse power boiler
IS being installed and the catsup
plant will have capacity of "a,
OoO baskets of tomatoes a day or
l,OOO baskets every hour. AL
though the acreage arranged for
this season will not near reach this
capacity, the fact that the company
Is making such extensive plans
would indicate that it intends to
operate on large scale in future
years and Newark will no doubt be
greatly benefited by the addition
of such a plant operated by this
well known and long established
firm.
When asked about his help for
this season Mr.. Ritter stated this
morning that they would probably
employ between 60 and 100 per-
sons at the plant and said he want
ed 1t understood that they prefer
red to engage local help where it
was possible to do so. He said all
the machinery had not arrived at
the plant as yet but that they
would probably be in shape to
start up by August Is, when toma-
| toes will be starting to come on.
Charles Ritter, vice-president of the
company, will come here to take
personal charge of the plant when
it is started.
The Philip j. Ritter Conserve
Co. is one Of the oldest established
concerns Of the kind in the country
it having been in business 60 years.
The company has three plants in
Philadelphia and one in Bristol,
Pa, in addition to the local plant.
Of the fruits grapes are bought in
large quantities and the company
this year will handle between 1000
900 and ], 100000 pounds of grapes
alone. The officers Of the com
pany are Philip J. Ritter, prsident
PWiIliam Fl. Ritter, treasurer; and
F. William Holman, secretary. Its
products have won awards at mum
erous exhibitions.
Through the efforts Of the officers
of this company the P. B. & w
Railroad is now stopping one addi
tional train at Newark. This is al
express train which leaves BroaC
stret station, Philadelphia, at TIC
a. m. and is due here at about SIC
a. m. Previous to this there was
poor service from Philadelphia and
Wilmington early in the morning
and it was because of this fact that
Mr., Ritter made complaint about
the service with the result that the
additional train is now stopping
here.

Summer School Entertainment

The third Of the entertainments
arranged for the students Of the
Summer School by Physical Dir
ector McAvoy, assisted by other
members of the faculty, was held in
the college gymnasium on Friday
evening, July II. 1t consisted
chiefly of a demonstration by the
manufacturers of the Victrola
showing in what ways their ma
chine can be used in the school
room. The demonstra,or first play
ed few songs suhg by singers of
note, and explained how the pupils
could learn to know when the
songs were well sung and even to
sing them themselves. He then
played some selections from the
best composers, and explained how
these composers and their music
may exert great influence on the
.child's life. He next showed the
difference between the different in
strumnts of an orchestra and
band, and how these could be COM
bined. Finally, he showed how
the Victrola could be used in
practical way in the school room
to teach marching and rote songs
and to tell stories.

Radical Changes At Rehoboth

The recent town election at Re
hoboth Beach, it is said, will mark
a new era at the resort. In the
new Board of Commissioners are
7. G. Ruddell of Baltimore, Rob
ert Hinckley of Washington, and
B. +. Shaw of Wilmington. Hinck-
ley, it is said, will build a new
ocean pier costing $4,000. Charles
Horn held the lease on the present
site of the pier and was supported
by the old Board. The new Board
and their supporters say they pur-
pose make Rehoboth a fashionable
summer resort.

Public Meeting

In view of persistent rumors OF
criticism of the policy of the Fire
men s Carnival and the attractions
to be offered, the Firemen met last
week and asked Council to hold a
public meeting in order that the
whole affair could be threshed out
in the open. Rumored threats OF
legal action against the Carnival
committee made it inadvisable to
proceed with expenditures of pre-
paration, if any trouble was antlc-
ipated. The idea Of the Firemen
was to present their attractions for
the approval Of Council and the
citizens who were interested. II
any question arose Of the inadvisa-
bility or legality of these, the mat
ter was to be placed before the At
torney for Council, Attorney for
Law and Order Society or Council
might ask for any opinion OF the
Attorney General.
By such meeting it was thought
that the matter could be discussed
and an agreement reached that
would be satisfactory to all. The
Firemen, while a Volunteer Com
pany, consider themselves and are
so considered a Public Service IN
stitution. With this idea OF a SER
vice institution, rather than a prl-
vate corporation, they asked that
their policy for securing funds Tor
Newark post., 1914-07-22

Fire Protection be scrutinized and
O.Ked before they proceeded with
this years Carnival Pursuant to
this request, Council in last week
issue called for an open meeting
asking all interested to be present.
The idea met with general ap-
proval. Thursday evening upward
of fifty citizens representing all
phases Of life in Newark met at the
Council Chamber. The College,
manufacturers, merchants, profess
sions, and mechanic were present.
The general trend of opinion was
that the meeting would result in a
sane open discussion of the issue.
That there was and is difference
of opinion was recognized. But
the objections and intent was to be
made open and the issue faced. So
much for the object Of the meeting
and the general interest manifest
ed and the citizens present. A
telephone message came that "the
meeting had been called off. - That
was the message. No explanation
whatever.
Nor is any forthcoming yet ex-
cept that the matter had been ad-
iusted. With whom? And what
matters are natural questions ask
ed. But no reply. +,
The object of the meeting failed
and the rumor still persistsEto the
regret of many interested citizens.

Army Worm Precaution

"Forewarned is forearmed' and
in face Of the widespread devasta
ton caused by the army worm,
information Of how to control and
destroy the pest is timely.
This prescription is given out by
the Philadelphia City Forestry De-
partment as the proper solution of
arsenate Of lead and water to be
used: To five ounces of arsenate
of lead add 10 gallons of water.
Put this in a watering can and
spEaszv psz WITH t4f k hYn ae er wSras n9 az
senate Of lead can be procured use
Paris green in the same proper,
tions and spray. Paris green will
not kill the worm, but will drive il
away. People are warned by the
Forestry Department that both ar
senate of lead and Paris green are
deadly poisons and are to be used
with care and not too literally.
One woman in Germantown who
mixed a pound Of the arsenate of
lead with a few gallons of water
found the poison did more harm to
her lawn than did the worms. If
used i'll the proper proportions the
poison will not harm dogs or cats
who may try to eat it, but it will
probably kill them if they oct too
much Of it.
Several school gardens have been
visited by the pests and today thou
sands of school children in charge
of these small plots will enlist in
the campaign to exterminate the
worm. Miss Cora Miller, supervis-
or of school gardens, has sent let
ter to the principal of every garden
in the city telling how to get rid of
the pests. She calls attention to
the fact that the arsenate Of lead,
is deadly poison and must be used
carefully.
Should the army worm appear
in garden" she writes, call other
work is to be suspended in order to
fight the pests. Some of the child
ren can help by spraying the poi
son with sprinkling cans, and the
others should be put to work pick
ing the worms from grass and veg
citation and dropping them into
cans with which a small quantity
Of kerosene has been poured.
Grass that has been destroyed by
the army worm and appears dry
and withered will come back to it's
former freshness if we'll watered.

Company E At the Front
Winning Praise From Officers
LOCAL BOYS LEADING THE MARCH
Special to The Post

Co. E left Newark bright and
early last Saturday morning to
join the Organized Militia of Del
aware in their hike through the
State. The boys arrived at the
State Rife Range near New Castle,
the site Of the encampment until
Monday, at 10.40 a. m. There had
been three rests of from ten to fif-
teen minutes each during the
march, and with the exception of
one man who was forced to ride
about three miles, the men stood
the march well. Co. e maintained
on this occasion, it's old reputation
for "getting there Only one
company-Co. H. of New Castle,
was on the grounds ahead of Co. E.
and considering that their hike cov-
cred only three miles, they were
expected to be there. The men of
Co. E were justly proud of this per-
formance, since they came longer
distance than any company walk
ing to the rife range. Their sur
prise when they found they had
outdistanced the Wilmington com
panies was a pleasant one. The
down-state companies from Dover
and Milford, reached State Road
station by train, about ten min.
utes after Co. ~. had crossed the
tracks.
Parade was held on Saturday
afternoon in preparation for th'
special review for Vice-Presiden
Marshall on Sunday morning.
Sunday: church; review TO

view was moving along with a pre-

occurred which threatened to spo

The Phillip j. Ritter Conserve
Company of Philadelphia, that
some time ago purchased the Har-
rv A. Gilbert Cannery, located
near the old depot, is making ex-
'tpnsive improvements to the plant
and will operate it this season. As
the purchase did not include the
machinery all Of which Mr.. Gilbert
had dismantled and shipped away,
the new owners are installing an
entire new outfit Of modern ma
chinery. In addition to the install
ling of the machinery numerous
improvements and alterations are
being made to the building to make
it sanitary in every respect and
suitable for the business Of the new
owners. Workmen have been en-
gagged at the plant for several
weeks installing the machinery,
painting and attending to other i'm
provement. 1t is anticipated that
the plant which will be known as
the Ritter Catsup Factory will
be started up about the middle of
next month. While the company
manufactures large quantities of
fruit buffers, cranberry sauce, pre-
served fruits, jams, jellies, soups,
etc.. at it's other plants, the Ritter
catsup is it's greatest speciality
which the company is now adver-
tising extensively.
William H. Ritter, treasurer of
the company, was in Newark for a
short time this morning and in
conversation with representative
of The Post, told of some of the
plans that his company has rela-
tive to the local plant. For the
first season Mr.. Ritter stated the
concern would probably only han
die tomatoes but it is possible that
they may also handle grapes this
wear if they can be secured in this
locality. He explained that after
this year if they, find the plant will
ufacture other Products here if the
fruits such as Strawberries, rasp-
berries currants, grapes, peaches,
apricots, etc, can be secured in
sufficient quantities. Should this
be done it will mean that the plant
will be in operation practically the
entire year
Mr.. Ritter stated that the COM
pany originally contemplated Sc
curing about 400 acres Of tomatoes
for the local catsup factory but
when Mr.. Gilbert was bought out
they took over his contracts which
are for only between $50 and 200
acres. In addition to this acreage
however, the company will be IN
the market for large quantities of
tomatoes if they can be bought here.
