Honolulu,s free kindergarten work is grow

pal function and as such entitled to municipal
support e
Al bulletin issued by the United States Bureau
Of Education emphasizes the community value
Of kindergarten work The report says: The
kindergarten and trained Kindergarten are of
special value to institutions because they sub
stitnte the maternal spirit for that Of mere con-
sfituted authority in dealing with child life.
The function of the kindergarten is to nurture,
unfold, form, and train the child's inherent
powers; to teach him to become q self-educator.
'Philanthropic enterprises for the afflicted,
both public and private, such Jas schools for
deaf, dumb, blind or defective children, should
have kindergartens, because 1of their educa-
tional benefits, through the training of the
hand. Properly taught, the hand may become
the outer ear and eye, even the outer brain, for
these unfortunates; for through the hand the
brain is awakened and stimulated.

Conference Changes Discussed

While the next session of the
Wilmington Conference of the
Methodist Episcopal Church is sew
eral months in the future, already
possible changes are being discus
sed and there is considerable spec
ulatiOn among the ministry as TO
where certain plums may fall. The
appointment of district superin-
tendents, possibly two, will be the
most interesting feature Of the
next annual session of the confer
ence which will be held at Laurel
next March. Bishop Joseph F.
Berry. of Philadelphia. will pre-
side over The conference. A dis
trict superintendent usually serves
six years. The -Re9y George P.
Jones has been superintendent of
the Salisbury district for that
length of time. and his term will
expire by limitation. The Rev. R.
X. Stephenson also has been a dis
trict superintendent for six success
i've years. having served as such for
one wear on the Easton district and
for five years on the Dover district.
Some Methodists predict that he
will resume the pastoral relation
next March. and others assert that
he can continue as superintendent
of the Dover district for another
year. Two pastors, the Rev. Chas.
A. Hill of Crisfield. Md, and the
Rev. George C. Williams of Laurel,
are mentioned for the position to be
vacated by DR.. Jones. The terms
of The Rev. E. L. Hoffecker, super
intendent of the Wilmington dis
trict. and the Rev. Robert Watt,
superintendent of the Easton dis
trict. will not expire until 1916.

and part of my help for her was to
open it. We expected no treasure !;
We knew grandfather must have
put it under his tree when it was
planted, and that he had no treas
ure. So we found in the jar what
we expected to find-love letters.
There were a dozen or all
addressed to him in the old quill
written writing in use before pos
tage stamps or envelopes were
known. None of them were very
loving. The girl had been fattered
by his attentions. but not rally in
terested in him. and finally had
dismissed him in a formal sort of
way. On the back of this last let
ter was grandfather dismissal of
his hope-a poem from heart that
expressed its poetry almost wholly
in kindly acts to the suffering and
the weary. The lines read:
Love with passion. love with pain,
Come, oh, come not back again.
Where the grey fog meets the grass,
Where the low sun reds the west,
Let me softly, unloved, pass
To time of quiet rest!
Bobolinks shall be my lovers,
Whistling quails my trysting mates
Where the purple swallow hovers
Shall / find my hearts estates.
Kiss of rain in summer twilight
Be my greeting of delight.
Evening star and evening crescent
Are my guides in solitude;
Each with tender cheer are present,
Let no lesser joys intrude;
Whispers that are lost forever
Memory make not heard again!

Automobile Accident
Near Singerly

Four persons met instant death
last Saturday night, near Singerly,
Nd. when an automobile driven by
Haines Harlan, a farmer of near
Fair Hill. Md. was struck on a
grade crossing by west-bound ex-
press train on the Baltimore and
Ohio railroad. The machine and
is five occupants were pitched by
the express train, in front of a
freight train on the opposite track.
The victims were cut to pieces.
Those killed were: Mrs. Tillie
Harlan, aged 45, wife of the owner
of the machine; a son, aged 9, and
daughter, aged s; Miss Elizabeth
Stewart, aged 19, servant in the
family. Mr.. Harlan s escape is
miraculous. His right shoulder
blade was broken, he sustained a
severe scalp wound and his body
was a mass Of bruises. After be-
ing taken to the Union Hospital,
Elkton, by DR.. Carrico, of Cherry
Hill, Nd, where his injuries were
dressed, Mr.. Harlan refused to re-
main, insisting upon being taken
to his home.
The family party had been to
Wilmington. They were on their
way home, having stopped at Elk
ton en- route. Mr.. Harlan did not
see the express approaching until
he was within a few feet of the
track. He applied the emergency
brake and brought the car to stop
directly on the tracks. Had he
been able to stop an instant sooner
the accident would have been pre-
vented. As it was the locomotive
struck the hood of the car.
The machine was first struck by
Train No. 9, drawn by engine No.
5lOl, and in charge of Conductor
Jenkins and Engineer Armstrong.
The train was running at the rate
of fifty 2,ssffiies lies an hour.
The freight train running in an
direction was likewise ap-
preaching at high rate Of speed.
The trains passed in front of Sin
gerly station. When struck by the
passenger train, the car was pitch
ed some distance down the tracks.

Reprint From German Paper

COPIED at the Request of a reader
from Bureau Des Deutschen
Handelstages, Berlin
The explorer Hermann Consten
being in the service of the Red
Cross at Liege tells the following
story:
When searching the Liege hos
pitals for missing friends Of mine a
Belgian chief physician declared
that he was not able to give any
particulars about them; many dead
German soldiers having been
brought to the hospital quite naked
and even robbed of their identity
disks. In the hospital | learned
from wounded German soldiers that
the Belgians not only killed and
robbed the wounded men, but even
tortured the captured and wounded
soldiers in the most obominable
manner. They were living sawn off
their leggs, gouged out their eyes,
and cut off their ears. In these
atrocities even women did partici-
pate. Four wounded soldiers told
me this dreadful story, when they
were wounded and captured and
had to look on without possibility
to interfere how a German officer
was overwhelmed in the open street
by civilians and was gouged out
his eyes and cut off his ears. -
Al the same time with the sally
out of Antwerp the inhabitants of
the Belgian city of Louvain attack
ed German supply columns from
the back and killed many men,
shooting out of the gateways and
pouring boiling oil down from the
windows. This perfdious assault
was organized by the authorities
and naturally caused strong meas
ures of punishment. The city of
Louvain has been partially destroy
ed.

Some Interesting Figures

The average value Of a Delaware
farm is $5S30, with an average
acreage of ninety-six acres, making
the average price of Delaware land
at about SCI an acre. There are
1886 farms in the state, with /,
03S.000 acres of the land area of
1.257.00O acres in farms. with 113.
900 acres in improved shape. The
farms of the State represent cap
ital investment of $64,179,000, the
farmers owning $3,206,O00 worth
of farm machinery and $6,S17000
worth of stock. Although there
have been short crops everywhere
in lower Delaware this year on ac-
count of the continued drought,
vet it has served to show the won-
derful fertility Of Sussex county
soil, with crops growing under
what looks like almost impossible
conditions. With but two big rains
in two months, crops have done re-
markably well and despite the
drought, more than 1000 cars have
been shipped from most of the i'm
portant shipping stations in the
county. Had there been rain, that
amount would have been nearly
doubled. Considering the weather
and the amount of crops raised,
farmers are more than satisfied
with what the sands of Sussex have
done for them this year. About
one-half of the wheat crop in Della
ware is in the hands of the farmers
and most of it will remain there
until higher prices come this win
ter. The wheat crop was bumper
one in Delaware this year, one with
70 cents a bushel being offered, few
farmers were tempted to sell. That
they were wise is now evidenced by
the rise in price, with every indica-
ton that wheat will sell for $1.5O
or So before spring.

HOUSE WINDOW
LITTLE SKETCHES OF FARM
LIFE, BY ISRAEL ANDIRON

There are eleven nice white little
pigs at the McStegnie farm. They
devote themselves to getting the
most bodily satisfaction. They are
at the troughs at feeding time, on
the sunny side of the straw stack in
the afternoons and III the softest
straw in the pen at night. By a
coincidence there are eleven people
in the McStegnie family. Also by
coincidence they devote them
selves wholly to securing for them
selves what is most comfortable.
They are at the table three times a
day, they work through the day in
comfortable fashion to get what
will most please them and al night
they sleep deep in feather beds be-
hind closed windows and dream of
pork dinners and pie. Their idea
ola good education Is one that will
enable the pupils to get physically
fat and remain comfortably mind
ed. They go to church to secure a
comfortable place in the hereafter
and they follow the course that will
leave them the most comfortable in
dealing with their neighbors and
the world outside. None of the in
habitants of that farm do any one
any harm especially; they are very
comfortable people and comfort
able neighbors.

at the exhibition this year will be
