Suffered to Help Daughter

That Spencer j. Lowe, of near Laurel
is entitled to gold metal for heroism
is the opinion of the physicians at the
Methodist Hospital in Philadelphia Mr..
loves little girl was taken to Phiade-
phia a short time ago for a skin graft
ing operation to relieve the disfig-
urement of her face caused by severe
burns. Mr. Lowe offered to supply the
skin needed in the work of repair
Ten inches of cutice were cut from
Mr.. loves arm and Tapped over on the
child's face. The child's head and the
fathers arm were then placed in plas-
ter casts and Mr.. Lowe was compelled
to lie perfectly still and endure the
agonizing pain for sc hours, until the
flesh had thoroughly knitted to his lit
tie girls face. The cuticle was then
severed from Mr.. loves arm, an anes-
thetic being used only at that time.

FOgeI & Burstan improvements

Messrs Fogel & Burstan and their
progressive landlady, Mrs. G. w. W.
Naudain have just closed the contract
to remodel the Main and Broad street
fronts of their Department Store. They
purpose replacing the present show
windows with five larger and more
handsome ones of heavy plate glass.
This will prove notable improvement
to the property and to this the foremost
business quarter of the town.
Tie Transcript also understands tnat
Mrs. Naudain intends to improve
another property of hers on Broad
street. All this is so highly commend
able upon the part of that enterprising
business woman, that she will also no
doubt 90 the Town Commissioners one
better who have notified her to repave,
on Broad street by putting down a fine
cement pavement which is only befitting
such fine store fronts, and can be done
at greatly reduced figure from the
fact that several live business men on
Main street are about to put down
cement pavements and have secured a
contract for very low figure, really
cheaper than bricks. All these improve
ments help business and give reputa-
tion to the town, that has for many
years made scandalous showing on its
principal street in the way of pave.

ROSENBERG'S FINE NEW STORES

The Transcript has waited for Mr..
S. M. Rosenberg to say "when" in the
matter OF giving his fine Town Hall i'm
provements an adequate description,
but business and misfortune have so oc-
cupied him that he has not yet spoken
the word, so we give him write-up
without the asking.
Mr. Rosenberg has transformed the
old Town Hall property into striking
ly handsome business block. It's orna-
mental cornice; its six big plate glass
windows with the latest metallic edge
protectors; its concrete steps and foun-
dations and finally its neatly painted
drop curtains, together with the bright
illumination of each window especially
the high powered light in front of Mr..
Rosenberg's corner that turns night in
to midday to Truitt's Drug store-all
this goes to make the Town Hall stores
strikingly attractive.
AS is always the case, the finer store
fronts have stimulated the renters to
make equally creditable displays of
their wares, Messrs. Redgrave Bros. .,
Mr.. Kirk and Mr.. Rosenberg himself,
vieing with each other to see who can
trim his window the finest.
And it is speaking no empty compli-
ment to say that those window exhibi-
tions are worthy the best sights on
Chestnut street, Philadelphia, Mr..
Kinks window in particular being
adorned with flowers that pleasingly
enhance the other decorative display eff
fects.
Mr. Rosenberg has also entirely reno.
waited his stores interior adding many
conveniences for doing business, stor-
ing clothing and other goods away from
dust etc, and as might be expected
now that the public have found him ir
his new and finer quarters, his business
is having gratifying increase.
The whole store front presents bril-
liant spectacle whether open or clos
ed, and is in every way highly credi-
table improvement that advertises Mid
dletown very fayorably to every visi
tor who passes.

A SUCCESSFUL FAIR
Large Crowds and Good Racing
Delighted Everybody
THE MANAGERS WELL PLEASED

at was the best fair, the best racing
and the greatest success the Delaware
State Fair Association has ever pro-
duced," said H. T. Wallace, president
of the Delaware Horse Show Associa-
ton, in discussing the State Fair which
closed Friday night. "We all are
beaming with smiles, and are grateful
to every person and circumstance which
made the present week possible"
That one statement would answer for
every official interviewed as the curtain
fell on the seventeenth annual Delaware
State Fair, at the Wawaset Park. 1t
was the biggest, best and brightest ever
held and no one can dispute that fact.
Nothing marred the week barring the
autom lie accident, but the innovation
of auA obile racing was tried against
the win of the majority of the members
of the association and they feel that the
accident does not rest on the shoulders
of the management to any great extent.
The occurrence was regretted by every
one.
Mr.. Wallace, in speaking of the rae
ing, stated that the fields in the races
of the week were far superior to former
meetings and that the representation IN
the 2. Is pace for the 81, 900 stake was
the best field that has ever travelled
over half mile track in the East. Re-
garding the fair he said: There may
be bigger fairs in the country, but
Judging from the crowds and the SUI: :ess
of our fair, we could not ask for any
thing better. Every department was a
marked success.
l.. Scott Townsend, another official of
the association, was warmth in his
praise. He remarked that a better
balanced proposition could not be made
possible. When asked to express him
self at length on the success of the fair
he added; "Say anything that is nice,
give the fair the biggest boost you can,
and say that am delighted with every
hour from O'Clock Monday morning
until the close. That would express my
| StIillIHGlilSs anu w SIelilu lOL ONClg
thing you say along that line. "
S. H. Wilson, secretary of the Della
ware State Fair and also of the Horse
Show Association, in speaking of the
week, said: "The horse racing has been
of the highest calibre of the sport in the
East this year. The races were closely
contested, and the fields have been
larger than any other meeting held in
this vicinity.
"The Horse Show was in a class with
the Horse Show held yearly at the Nadi-
son Square Garden, which is the recog-
nized standard of that line. The entry
list was large and of class. The patrons
of the sport recognized the beauties of
this and We're gracious in their attend
ance and applause at the efforts of the
local management, and Mr.. Moody, who
had charge of the exhibition.

HOW TIC START CLUBS

A prominent feature OF the extension
work now being conducted by the de-
partment is the aid given in the promo
ton and conducting of boys and girls
agricultural clubs. These clubs are be-
ing formed in rural public schools in
connection with the courses in e1emen-
tary and secondary agriculture. The
Office of Extension Work in the North
ern and Western States maintains a
section with leader and assistants who
give their entire time to the organiza-
tion and supervision of the club work,
in cooperation with the extension divi-
sions of the agricultural colleges in
practically all of the States. The Office
of Extension Work in the South m;in-
tains a similar organization and in addi-
tion has more than 400 country women
agents who give special attention to
girls club work. The State leader in
club work at the agricultural college is
usually the joint employee of the de-
partment and the State college and
represents both institutions alike. Thus
through the assistance of the State
leader the boys and girls are brought
into and become part of both the State
and national organizations for club
work.
Club work, especially among the
young people. is receiving more and
attention from those interested in the
improvement of the social, educational
and financial conditions of farm life,
and clubs are being organized to work
in various ways toward the betterment
of some one or all of those conditions.
The plan of organization and scope of
the activities of school clubs briefly
outlined below apply particularly to
boys and girls agricultural clubs. They
are, however, suggestive of plans for
the formation of clubs to work along
other lines.
The teacher is, of course, the one to
determine whether the organizations of
school club is practical and desirable.
If he desires to form club and has be-
come familiar with the plans, projects,
rules, ETC., of clubs, he should call d
meeting for organization of as many
boys and girls of the school district as
can be brought together. 1t would be
well to invite the patrons of the schoo
and have the extension representative
County agent) for the county give 8
talk on the agricultural club require
ments and work. If possible, the
county superintendent of education anC
the State leader in charge of club work
should be present at this meeting anC
aid in the organization work. A simple
form of constitution and set of bylaw!
may be adopted, and the regular officers
of the club elected may include a super
visor, president, vice president, secre
tary, treasurer and program committee

FINER MOVIES THAN EVER

Does Middletown know it has in the
well presented performances being
given by Mr.. H. S. Newman in the
Opera House, as fine moving picture
exhibitions as can be seen for the
money anywhere, not excepting the
big cities? Well, it is true. He not
only skilfully manages the machine
that presents the views of the films,
but he also has and uses good technical
judgement and artistic taste in the
choice of his subjects, giving his
patrons fine specimens of the highest
products of the makers of moving
pictures, whose work has now been
brought to a high state of perfection,
since authors of note are writing the
scenarios and actors and actresses of
national reputation in the regular
drama. are representing the silent plays
before the camera.
But aside from the merit of the high
class matter Mr.. Newman is given his
patrons, he deserves the most generous
patronage at the hands of the Middle
town public because he has shown him
self so exceptionally liberal in repeated
ly giving his time, labors and business
in aid of worthy public causes-dona-
tions whose money values have exceed
ed the hundred mark in single instances.
So The Transcript bids its readers
who wish a cheap, interesting, educat-
ing, and mirth-producing entertainment
to go see Mr.. Newman's "Movies
often. He gives every Thursday night
extra 5 reel representations by the Fox
Company that are proving especially
popular.

THE JEWS IN THIS WAR

The Jews everywhere celebrate the
day Roshhashonah, or the New Year of
the fourteen million Jews in the world.
Israel Zangwil, historian of the race,
estimates that no fewer than ten mil
hons are engaged in war. Only the
three and a half million Jews who are
in America, he declares. have escaped
the war.
1t follows that special services were
held for the $50, 900 Jews wh) are fight
ing in the Russian army for Car who
has denied the Jews all civil rights; fo r
250, 600 Jews fighting under the tri-color
of France; for 10, 600 Jews fighting for
Austria; for 50, coo Jews in tn German
army, and for 20, coo Jews fighting under
the British flag.
Everywhere the jew is loyal to the
flag under which he lives, even when
that flag smybolizes tyranny, oppression
and denial Of civil rights, as the Russian
flag does to every Jew. One-ifth of all
the French Zouaves from Morocco and
Tripoli. now fighting in Flanders, will
hold the same religious service and
celebrate the same holy day as the ma
jority o the Cars great Polish army.
Under which flag in this war are the
mighty among the Jews? Under all
flags
The head of the British Hospita Fund
Committee was Lord Rothschld, Jew
The head of the British Finance Com
mission, due in New York this week to
try to save the financial situation for
the Allies, is Baron Reading, the Lord
Chief Justice of England, born Isaacs,
Jew.
The Kaiser has put the management
of the entire railway system of Ger
many and Austria, which has been a
decisive factor in this war, under the
supreme control of Herr Balm, creator
of the great German merchant marine,
who is Jew.
In France the Grand Officer of the
Legion Of Honor, General Heymann,
who has been put in command of g
French army corps. is a Jew.
In Turkey, the Supreme Military
Commander, Enver Bey, who has just
received the order Pour La Merite from
the Kaiser for his signal success in de-
Tending the Dardanelles, is Jew.
In Italy, the Foreign Minister, Baror
Sonnino, who helped to persuade the
King to cast his lot with the Allies, is &
Jew.
The Jews are great race without {
country, a ruling race without a seat Of
Government, but wherever an enthroneC
monarch sits you find close beside hin
or her, as chosen, sagacious, loya
counsellor, some Jew who rules by d.
vine right of intellect

ANOTHER VICTORY

The heavy hitting Port Penn Club Wis
tied Academy Park here on Saturday
afternoon and were easily defeated by
the locals in well-played game. The
visitors were accompanied by fully one
hundred rooters and were greatly dis
appointed at the result, bets being
offered to in favor of the visitors,
but betting was quickly squelched on
strongest team but Culver the left-hand
twirler of the home team, had the Port
Penn club at his mercy at all points of
the game, striking out eleven men and
driving two runs across with a timely
single. B. Yearsley, the one best bet
of the Port Penn team, pitched an
effective game for five innings, but in
the sixth was relieved by Dyer, who
struck out four men in the three re
naming innings. The game drew one
of the largest crowds of the season.
