sesses the loyal support of the
members of the faculty and of the
student body has been demon
strated time and again since he be-
came executive head of the col
lege. The confidence of the trus-
tees and the genral public has
been won by his genial personality
acute intelligence, unquestioned
eloquence and constructive ability.
For man of his yeals, the doc
tor is remarkably active. When
that activity will count for the
good of the institution, he does not
spare himself. He is here, there
and everywhere. Night and day
he is on the go. At all times he
has some useful purpose in mind.
He is man who can smile and be
pleasant when he is doing a SER
ious work. There are too few such
men in this twentieth century
world. Wherever he goes, and
wherever he speaks, he commands
respectful attention. The admir-
able impression he makes is re-
fected upon the college he repre-
sents. Nor is it a local impression
He is an educator in a national
sense. He consorts with some of
the biggest and brainiest men in
the United States. They confer
with him upon terms of full equal
ity.
Whenever DR.. Mitchell visits a
place, he makes it clear there is
an institution in our State that is
known as Delaware College, and
that he is its president. After he
is gone, that fact is remembered.
1t is a pleasant recollection. His
geniality, earnestness and intelli-
gence serve to make it so.
We think Howell probably had a
man of the Mitchell type in mind
when he wrote: "No man can pro-
duce great things who is not
thoroughly sincere in dealing with
himself; who would not exchange
the finest show for the poorest
reality; who does not so love his
work that he is not only glad tc
give himself for it, but finds rather
gain than a sacrifice in the sur,
render"

EDITORIAL ANNOUNCEMENT FROM
EVERY EVENING

Beginning today, Mr.. Frederick
X. Reybold, until this time con-
nected with the Philadelphia
North American, will become as
sociated with Every Evening as
managing editor. Mr.. Reybold is
native Delawrean, born in Del
aware City, and has had ample ex-
perience in newspaper work. He
was with the Philadelphia Record
for nine years, and then went to
the North American.
The arrangement with Mr.. Rey-
bold was entered into by Samuel
Bancroft, Jr., late president of
Every Evening Printing Co., about
a month before the illness, which
ended fatally, compelled him to go
to a hospital for treatment. Mr..
Reybold was permitted to become
financially interested as a stock
holder in the Every Evening
Printing Co., and Mr.. William F.
Metten, who has been associated
wi h the newspaper for the past
twenty years, and for the past
five years as business manager
and treasurer, was also taken into
the company in like manner.
These changes, however, will
not in any manner affect the pol
icy of Every Evening. Mr.. Merris
Taylor will continue as editor, and
Mr.. A. 0. H. Grier as city editor.
Mr.. Joseph Bancroft, who has
been vice-president of the COM
pany for six years, will represent
the estate of Mr.. Samuel Bancroft,
Jr. in the company.
We shall watch, with interest,
the Every Evening under the new
organization as explained above.
This addition of Mr.. Reybold to
the Editorial Staff should add
much force to the paper. While
not always agreeing with its pol
icy, we, with others, recognize it
AS a Delaware Institution.
Our best wishes to the staff
The Every Evening has a great op-
portunity in Wilmington. A news
paper of forceful independence
can do much for both city and
state affairs. AS for the business
side, there can be no doubt. With
William Metten as business man.
ager and treasurer, financial sue
cess is assured. Much of the past
success can be attributed to his
personality and progressive but
sane business policy.

INVITATION TO MR.. WHITE

Here's hats off to Will White!
Whenever he wants to move to
Newark, we shall start campaign
for Free Land and No Taxes-it
would be cheap for the returns he
would give the community.
Last evening at the Community
Meeting William P. White, presi-
dent of City Council, secretary of
Charles Warner Company, presi-
dent of Delaware'S greatest Laun-
dry cOmpany-that'S too much
title. Will White. citizen at large,
friend to everybody-came to
Newark to play the mouth organ
(harmonica, the big word) for the
Community Meeting. And, be-
lieve me, as the professor says
when he wants to be impressive
it was some party.
The Newark folks live mostly
on Grand Opera and Higher Criti-
cism. We speak of technique,
touch, volume and Interpretation.
We sniff at anything less. But last
night, Will White with that mouth
organ had everybody "pattin' a
foot and not ashamed of it.
Everybody enjoyed it. That mouth
organ made us forget all our trou-
bles and differences. You could
mt tell Ford from Packard. 1t
was fine.
Smile and the world smiles
with you That's Whites philos-
ophy. A cordial invitation to
White to move to Newark.

New Time Fuse Plant

Wilmington Council will, it is
stated, amend an old ordinance
regulating the transit of gunpow-
der through the streets so as to
permit of supplies for a new con-
Germ which proposes to use the old
plant of the Standard Arms Com
pany for making time fuses for
shells for heavy artillery. Five
hundred expert workmen will be
given employment, it is said, when
the plant starts.

Shall 1t Be A Home
Or The Poorhouse?

Shall it be "A Home" or THE
Poorhouse"?
You are the one to answer this
question.
If you had an aged mother
would you allow her to go to the
poorhouse? No, ten thousand
times no. You would toll from
early morn until late at night but
what you would support her. But
suppose that aged woman has no
children or relations to fall back
on for support. What then? The
poorhouse? | say no, ten thous-
and times no. Such is the case of
one in our midst. The old lady
(for such she isl is now nearing
her three score and ten birthday.
She has no relatives that she can
rely on for support. She is now
wandering aimlessly about trying
to secure work and place to stay.
But what can a woman seventy
Years of age do to support herself?.
She has been turned out with moth
ing but needle to fight the great
battle of the world. 1t is only a
question of time before she will be
compelled to go to the poorhouse.
Are you going to send her there?
The old lady would like very
much to go to home for aged
women, but she is without the
means. Will you help in raising
the money? If you wish to help
raise this money send your check
to the Newark Post" If you do
not wish to contribute by check
stop in the Office of the Post and
leave your contribution. This ar
ticle is not published to fill up
space, it is published for you to
read and mediate upon. If you
are not convinced that you should
give to this cause read Gen. XIV,

Investigation Of
Peach Diseases

The Department of Plant Path
ology of the Experiment Station
has made a planting of one acre of
peaches on the Stations grounds,
for the purpose of studying peach
yellows, little peach, rosette, and
similar diseases the causes of
which are at present unknown.
Yellows and little peach are SER
ious diseases in Delaware which
are making heavy inroads into
profitable peach growing. Some
of the features outlined for the in
vestigation are:
l. Range of hosts other than the
peach. There is some evidence
that peach and other nut trees are
subject to yellows. Paintings of
nut trees have been included to
test out this phase of the investi-
cations.
2 The active factors in distribu-
ton.
(a) Insects.
(b) Pruning, picking, culti-
vation and other cultural practices
(c) Meteorological conditions.
3. The Causative Organisms.
Pathologists are strongly inclined
to the theory that these diseases
are caused by specific organisms,
and that they will in time be clear
ed up by persistent Investigations.
These organisms have not been
defined by staining or the micro
scope. Hence they are spoken of
as ultra-microscopic. Their pres
ence in certain solutions is be-
yond doubt, as such solutions
readily cause infection. DR.. Manns
is of the opinion that the growths
nj proper solutions may be demon
strated by optical changes pro-
duced in such solutions, which in
dicate the presence of a virus.
With such solutions free from
plant and other residue, it seems
more probable that the organisms
will yield to staining and micro
scopical demonstration. Investi-
cations are to be conducted with
this end in view.
4. Investigations looking to-
ward control: Some recent work
points to the possibility of con-
troll of plant diseases by medica-
tion of feeding of the tree chem
icals. The difference between the
susceptibility of fruit trees to
specific disease is believed to be
due to specific differences in pro-
tective properties in the sap of the
tree. BY tree medication it seems
probable that these protective
properties may be fed into the
tree by the use Of plant alkaloids
and similar chemicals.
A variety test is being conduct
ed looking toward resistance.
