MAY AFFECT LINOLCUM

New York, Sept -Manufac-
turers of linoleum are fearful that
the war in Europe may cause close
down in the industry here as re-
suit of their not being able to re-
'ceive supplies of burlap and cork.
All of the burlap used in the making
of American linoleum comes from
Dundee. The mobilization of the
workers in the Dundee mills from
their ordinary pursuits. and it is a
question whether the mills on the
other side can continue to turn out
anything like normal supply of
the materials. Unfortunately for
the linoleum makers, American
made burlap cannot be utilized ow-
ing to its weave and size. Some of
the lineoleum mills here have a fair
amount of burlap on hand. while
others are short of both burlap anu
cork. Since the war began burlap
prices have doubled and unless re-
lief comes speedily. prices will go
still higher.

FLORIDA CATTLE SHIPPED
NORTH AT BIG PRICES

kissimmee, Sept. 2.-One of the
largest shipments of cattle ever sent
out of Osceola county will be made
early in september, when 1900

shipped North The Carson Cattle
Co. are said to be getting up this
shipment and will be Joined by Rull
Bass. E. L. Lesley and Walter Bass,
Henry Bass and Ed Whaley. The
catale are sold to Armour & Co.
and the price is said to DE 1855
hundred for cows and s4.25 for
steers. This is the highest price
ever paid for cattle in this country
and is an indication of the scarcity
of beef in the United States. Very
probably the European war has
something to do with the present
prices of cattle but it is doubtful If
the price of beef will ever be any
lower.

There is not much difference in

any man in the Senate, and for all
we know he is tolerably honest, as
the old man said when he qualified
his commentator of a fellow

The TarpOn Springs Leader de-
plores the presence of so much base
ball ma 'er in the big dailies to the
exclusion of better stuff and thinks
that onty one man in fifty reads
the sporting page. 1t might be
nearer the truth to say that only
man in fifty doesn't read it: for it
seems to us that this nation is al
most baseball mad and that the in
lection extends to all classes, ages
and colors and both sexes There
are thousands of good citizens who
would eagerly peruse the sporting
page and turn with indifference
from an article on the opposite
page absolutely demonstrating the
immortality of the soul. The news
paper does not form the taste of
the reader in all things, and unless
1t is publication catering to spe-
clal class, it must tell about base
ball and other sports with ample
prominence or some other paper
will be established that will do it.
We should all be thankful for base
ball. whether We personally care
for it or not, for it is admittedly
clean sport, free from the deadly
vice of gambling, and in its manly
and healthy competitions the play
ers find athletic development and
the millions of fans can work off in
safe and harmless way the energy
and enthusiasm which might other
wise be directed in hurtful and i'm
moral channels.

What striking tribute to the
splendid versatility of the resources
of Florida is that dispatch we pub
lished few days ago telling of the
train-load shipments of cattle from
this State to Texas. Texas is the
great cattle commonwealth of the
Union and when she has to come to
Florida to buy steers it means that
cattle raising on a large scale can
be made one of our profitable indus
tries. We can't grow wheat with
profit in Florida, but what else is
there produced in both the tenn
perate and sub-tropical zones that
we can't grow? Give us a reasonable
length of time and plenty of the
right kind of people and Florida
will lead the whole world This
great peninsular is the prize coun-
try of the globe and some day it
will be the chief beauty spot also.

1t will be mighty change of for
tune for Great Britain if she loses
in the present contest. Barring her
bad luck when she tackled her own
robust offspring in this country in
1776 followed up by the little affair
in 1872, she has been almost uni
formly victorious in all her battles
on land and sea all round the globe
for the past three hundred years
and it viii go hard with her if she
has to finally confess herself defeat
ed In the present conflict. But
nothing of the sort has happened
yet, and there are a million fight
ing Enelishmen, Scotchmen and
Irishmen who are determined that
it shan't happen. The war is
young yet, with the resources of no
nation party to it even half ex-
hausted, and perhaps the heaviest
strain upon the amazing strength of
the German colossus is yet to come.

COLLEGE EXTENSION WORK

That Delaware College is going
to play more prominent part IN
the life of the State is more assur-
ed every day. Last year was one
Of marked advance in the line OF
educational activity. Prominent
among the movements started was
the Extension work of the Col
lege. President Harter appointed
a Committee of the Faculty to in
vestigate the possibilities Of such
work. Contrary to the views Of
even some members of the faculty,
the idea met with immediate re-
sponse throughout the State. Dr.
Vaughn with his committee made
a visit 10 the high schools of the
State, asking for information and
presenting the idea of Extension
Lectures from the College profes-
sors. Although enthusiastic HIM
self, The demand for lectures was
beyond his expectations. The Com
mittee issued a bulletin, giving the
subjects of lectures, that could be
given on call. A slogan adopted,
eff you can't come 10 Delaware
College, the College will come to
YOU" has been received with an
enthusiasm that will tax the fac
ulty to meet the demand.
Along this same line, now comes
the announcement that the Eng
lish Department will give courses
in Literature and Composition.

OUR FIRE EQUIPMENT

1t is not amiss to speak again OF
the work Of the Aetna Firemen OF
Newark. Congratulations is a very
mild compliment. By their work,
Newark has an fire equipment, un-
surpassed in the State. 1t Is no
little boast to say that Newark has
a $4,000 fire engine. The Carnival
in recent years have paid for this
engine.
Although the citizens Of the town
have responded generously 1t is
needless to say that Newark would
never have had this means OF pro-
lection, had it not been for the en-
thusiastic and determined efforts OF
the volunteer firemen. They have
had lots of sport, it is true, but
they have had plenty Of work. In
spite Of petty opposition at times,
they have put it over and won out
These men have rendered a pub
lie service Of true merit. Hats Off
to Aetna!

home. The docks were also crowd

scattered in all directions. The

of their trunks behind as they had

they originally intended to sail fro
Preparations for the war such as
the loading of stores on trains by
soldiers were witnessed at many
points from London to Liverpool.
Mr.. and Mrs. Kruger came near
being caught in Germany after
war was declared and it was only
because of Mrs. Kruger who was i'll
in Hamburg, insisting that she was
going to join her parents in Eng
land that they are not in that coun-
try now. A physician who was at
tending her in Hamburg, advised
Mrs. Kruger to remain there at
least a week. She objected to this
and if it was possible for her to
make the trip she and her husband
were going to join her parents in
England. This they did and while
there was no war talk at that time
it was only a few days later that
war was declared by Germany.

York on April 16 last. They tour
