New Buildings In Prospect

The present prospect is that
builders and contractors in and
around Newark will have busy
summer. During the last week the
Farmers Trust Co. has sold for

LIGHTNING
STRIKES BARN
Adjoining Buildings Saved By
Chemical Engine

The barn of W. J. Barnard was
struck by lightning during the Sc
we're electric storm which ragged
for several hours on Tuesday
evening, and completely destroyed
the building. Owing to the shift
ing wind the adjoining buildings
were a number of times in danger.
The gusts of the early evening
had put many telephones OF the
neighborhood out of commission,
and Mr.. Barnard upon discovering
the fire had difficulty in getting in
touch with the Aetna Fire COM
pany.
The building which was struck
was entirely destroyed, but the
contents, with the exception of a
mule, struck by lightning, were
saved A second building nearby
in which Mr.. Barnard kept his
stock, was on fire a number OF
times. Although there was no
water supply near enough to be of
use, the chemical engine was put
into service. The work of the local
fire company saved the adjoining
buildings.

Organized Play At
The Primary School

Children at the primary build
ing have been delighted during the
last week by the introduction of
organized play on the Fairgrounds
by the social service committee of
the Y. w. c. A. of the Women's S
College. The girls take charge of
the play grounds from 8.15 to 900
every Wednesday and Friday. The
simple old-fashioned ring games,
such as Three-deep, Dodge Ball,
Farmer in the Dell, ETC., are used
largely. The teachers are en-
thusiastic over the result.
On Monday of this week the
summer schedule went into effect
throughout the school. The after
noon session begins at 1.30 and in
the intermediate grades, closes
at four o'clock.

BOARD OF EDUCATION
EFFECTS NEW ORGANIZATION

predecessor, d. G. Rose, on that
date and he was elected to serve
for one year. He has been contin-
uously reelected for the same
time and his bond does not expire
until that time. This made DR..
Gilfillan, for the time being, Sec
retary, Treasurer, Assessor, Col
lector, with the election as Presi-
dent, who is supposed to take Of
flee Immediately.
Here was a complication.
Preacher, Professor, Business
Man, Railroad Official, and State
Senator. A story worthy of Will
lam Allen White. DR.. Gilfillan re-
ferred to the fact that he was
under bond and could not release
his books until audited. He had
just previously been elected presi-
dent.
After a semi-serious discussion,
involving technicalities of anus
ing proportions, it was suggested
that DR.. Gilfillan hold his position
for which he is bonded and be re-
leased of the duties of Secretary
and Treasurer. By resolution this
was placed on the minutes. DR..
Gilfillan will continue to collect
taxes until his term expires and
hold his position of president.
The question of the tax account
was raised with the report that
$500 was in arrears and 1910 cur
rent taxes due. This is, it is un-
derstood, about the normal condi-
tion at this time of the year. In
view of the fact that the Board
has been compelled to borrow 5000
for running expenses, it was urged
that collections be made as rapid
ly as possible.
Attention was called to the ar
ticle in last nights Every Even

publicity of finances of the Board

BUSINESS BOOM AT AMERICAN
MACHINE COMPANY'S PLANT

lent handling Of the work. Re-
pair work on practically all kinds
of machinery, is feature OF the
Shop.
The hot air engines, upon the
manufacture of which the reputa-
tion of the Company rests, are
built in five sizes, solely for the
purpose of pumping water where
an independent water supply IS
necessary. Although more expen-
sive than a gasoline engine at the
time of installation, experience
has proved them cheaper in the
end, for they outlast the gasoline
engines, three to one. The success
of the little engine has been IN
their simplicity. Unlike those op-
Grated by steam, gasoline, or cleo
tricity, experience is unnecessary
in their operation. One farmer
near Newark, who has used one OF
the engines for eight years, re-
ports that the colored woman in
the kitchen, whoever she may be,
regulates the water supply to the
entire satisfaction of the family.
A small fire is made, as in any
stove, from wood, coal, cobs,-any
kind of fuel whatever. After only
a few minutes the heater pot has
reached the necessary tempera-
, ture; the wheel is turned by hand
a few revolutions, and the engine
is in operation until the fire dies
away. The small size engine
which is listed at $4,000, pumps
from $50 to 800 gallons per hour
according to the height of the
raise; the largest, from 1000 tc
1000 gallons per hour.
The tag-making machine, de
signed and patented by Denny
brothers, is also built at the loca
plant. 1t is interesting to note
that with the exception of the
Dennison and the Allen Lane Scot
pennsylvania r. r. tags, prac
tically all the shipping tags tha
come to Newark have been mad'
on a Denny Tag-making machine
This is especially true of ship
ments from England and France
The little machine makes from

ished tags an hour, cutting an
size, shaping the corners, punch

, a reinforcing piece. 1t prints tn

Tax-Collector Lovett
Makes Fine Record

F. w. Lovett, collector for the
county, poor and road taxes for
White Clay Creek hundred, on
April 10, visited the office of
Comptroller E. c. Clark and set
tied in full the duplicate for the
1913 taxes. He turned over bal
ance of $3.50, which was all that
had been left unpaid from ap-
.proximately $4,000 taxes due from
property assessed at S1,837 ,224.
The record made by Mr.. Lovett is
hard to beat inasmuch as the col
lectors are not compelled by law to
make a final accounting of their
1913 taxes before July of this
year.
Mr.. Lovett says that he received
his 1914 duplicate in July 1914
and has only approximately s1,3O(
remaining to collect.

Egg-Laying Con-

The egg-laying competition at
Newark, that was financed in part
by the State Board of Agriculture,
is proving to be a great success.
Up to the end of the oath week,
the 500 hens had laid 33,905 eggs.
The Delaware pen giving the high
est yield was entered by Hon. O.
A. Newton, of Bridgeville, and the
five hens have a record at the end
of the oath week Of 400 eggs, his
birds standing 18th in the list of
100 pens. Mr.. Newton's birds are
sure to be in the 200 egg class be-
fore the year is over.

resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, the almighty God in
His infinite wisdom has taken
from our Castle our beloved Bro
ther, l.. M. Whiteman, who for so
many years has been associated
with us as a Crusade Knight, and
who was always loyal to the prin-
ciples of the Order.
Therefore, be it resolved, that
while we bow in humble submis-
sion to the Will of Him, who or
ders all things Alright, we cannot
but deeply feel the loss that we
as a Castle have sustained.
Resolved, that we tender the
family of our beloved Brother our
heartfelt sympathy in their be-
bereavement, and that our Char
ter be draped for a period of thir-
ty days.
Resolved that copy of the res

and completely destroyed. The

The contents of the barn, together
with the corn in an adjoining corn
crib, were burned.

Conforming with the law, the
School Board met last evening for
the election of officers for the en-
suing year. After the reading OF
minutes, DR.. Joel S. Giltillan, who
was elected on Saturday, was
sworn in by President Richards.
In the election of officers, Mr..
Richards declined to serve as pres
ident.
On motion of DR.. Gilfillan, it
was decided to elect officers by
choice ballot. The vote for presi-
dent was four for DR.. Gilfillan and
one for r. S. Gallaher.
For Secretary and Treasurer
Harvey Hoffecker received three
votes and Mr.. Gallaher two votes.
Mr.. Hoffecker was declared elect
ed. In accepting the election Mr..
Hoffecker said he would serve with
the understanding that the Board
would appoint the Assessor and
Collector. This officer does not
necessarily have to be member
of the Board. In fact, the office
was held for some years by d. e.
Rose who at that time was not q
member of the Board. Upon the
election of DR.. Gilfllan as Secre.
tary and Treasurer, the duty OF
Collector was also added with
the usual salary of $25 per month
The Board consented to Mr.. Hof
fecker's request and after the
term Of DR.. Gilfillan expires, al
outside man will probably be ap
pointed. Mr.. Hoffecker will serve
as Secretary and Treasurer with
out salary.
An amusing feature of the meet
ing arose from the fact that Dr.
Gilfillan's term as Secretary
Treasurer and Collector does no
expire until June 30th. This wa
due to the fact that the book
were turned over to him by hi

The Shop of the American Ma
chine Company, recently leased
with it's equipment, by L. B.
Jacobs, promises to again become
conspicuous in the business life
of the community. This Shop, by
the manufacture of it's satisfac-
tion-giving hot-air engines, has
carried the name of Newark to
all corners of the earth. Few OF
our citizens are acquainted with
tie interesting history of the
plant.
About twenty years ago the
'Denney brothers-Hiram and Sam
uel, moved to Newark. They had
previously been employed by the
Rider-Ericsson Company of New
York. The brothers, who were I'M
mediately recognized as mechan-
ical geniuses, set to work on an
improved form of Ericsson hot air
pumping machine, the patents on
which had recently expired. They
worked in a vacant room IN part
Of the Dean Woolen Mill, and
after perfecting their model, with
its many improvements over the
original engine, were largely in
strumental in the formation of the
American Machine Co. The late
Mr.. John Pilling was the prlncl-
pal stockholder in the new COM
pany.
In 1905 the room in the former
wooden mill-then the American
Vulcanized Fibre Company, being
needed for other purposes, and
the engines having proved them
selves a good proposition, the
building since occupied by the
company was constructed on
Cleveland avenue. Following Mr.
Pillings death, the company pass
ed into the hands of Wilmington
men, About thirty men were EN-
ployed and the Denney Improved
Rider, and Ericsson engines ship
ped to practically every country
in the world. For the last ter
years, and until the beginning o.
1915, the plant has been under
the management of F. G. Sellers
of Wilmington. After being closet
for about six weeks, in the winter
it has been leased by Mr.. Jacob
of Newark. The Shop is equipped
with the most modern machiner,
and tools, all of which are on tn
ground floor, arranged for conven

HISTORY In
THE MAKING
Miss Richards Talks Of Cur
rent Events

Many who have been looking
forward to the lecture "The
Worlds Current Events" by Miss
Janet Richards of Washington,
were disappointed on Tuesday, by
the terrific thunderstorm which
prevented their attendance. The
girls from the Women's College,
however, turned out en- masse, and
a fair audience greeted Miss Rich
ards.
Miss Richards placed herself
in a class with the most polished
speakers head at the college dur
ing the last winter. Her clear
explanations of the world events,
interspersed with bright, original
comments, cannot fail to win the
attention and interest of her au-
dience. Miss Richards has lived
at the national capital all her life,
and has followed closely for years
the legislation of Congress. In
frequent interviews with those
most closely concerned with af-
fairs in the making, she gathers
the material and prepares for her
lectures.
7 The first subject discussed by
the speaker was the Federal Re-
serve Act, which as law has been
in effect since last November
After reviewing briefly the provi,
sions of the Act-a board of sever
men, appointed by the President
and confirmed by the Senate, who
shall have control over the
banks of America-Miss Richards
gave the history leading to the lit
igation which will begin in Wash
ington in May. GAIL the nations
of the world" Miss Richards de
clared, were in advance of Amer
lea in governmental centralized
control over their banks. The Fed
eral Reserve Act was one of tn
first pieces of legislation taken VI
during the extra session follow
ing President Wilson's inaugura
ton. We have in America $500
banks, either national, state o
trust companies. Of this numbe
1900 are national banks; 800 ar
state banks. The rulings of tn
various state banks were confus

system it had become possible fo
three great groups of banks, tn
most powerful of which was don
mated by Morgan, to control tn
money market of the nation. Thi
