BEAVER COUNTY BOY RAISES BEST
ACRE OF MILO MAIZE IN STATE.

Clarence Strong, OF Beaver, a student
in the Beaver High School and mem.
Club, carried of the honors for him
self and Beaver county in the state
milo contest the past year. The fol-
lowing letter from John 4. Swain, as
sistsnt state agent. in charge OF Boys
Club work, tells OF Clarence's wonder
ful success
Saltwater, Okla, Jan. 10. 1915.
Mr. Clarence Strong,
Beaver, Oklahoma.
Dear Friend Clarence
Allow me to congratulate you upon
your wonderful success in the Boys
Club Work last year. From your re-
ports and certificates we determine
your yield to be 1861 bushels OF milo
and 1924 tons OF forage per acre. This
is the highest yield in any grain re-.
ported for any acre in the state. For
this reason you should feel greatly
elated over your success.
You have been awarded Sl5 90 in
cash and sl5 90 Loving Cup by the
County Agents OF Oklahoma for having
prod uced the highest yield Of milo OF
any person in the state. The Capper
Publishing Company, of Topeka, Kan
sas, will issue you beautiful diploma
signed by Hon. Arthur Capper, and
the Secretary and President OF the
Oklahoma State Board of Agriculture.
You will also probably receive another
small cash prize presented by Hon.
Dick 7, Morgan, but the score in this
contest has not been determined as
yet Mr.. Morgan gives $2500 in cash
to the counties in his district hut as
we have not had time to check up the
various counties, we cannot tell at this
time the amount that will be to the
credit of yoUr county.
If you desire To sell your grain,
notify me at once as there has been
many demands for it from the people
here at the Short Course Two men
offered 81 % fora single head and
others asked II it VAS for sale and the
price it would be.
Permit me to suggest that you invest
the cash you receive in some registered
pigs or calves and start in the fine
stock business. BY careful attention
in very few years time you will be
able to dispose OF your stock for sufii-
cient funds to pay your expenses
through College. By following this
plan, it would be hard to estimate, in
dollars, the value that your one acre
OF milo will be to you The Loving
cup will have your name, post office
address and the amount of the yield
engraved on it and will be a trophy
you should preserve and prize as long
as you live
Again permit me to congratulst Ia
you on your work and to express my
desire that all your efforts in the fu-
ture may be rewarded as they may
deserve. this victory should be q
stimulant to greater things in the
future and we will expect to hear good
reports Of your work
With best wishes. | remain

WHAT'S ETHICS

One of our readers, in answer
ing an unsigned Want Ad insisted
that we tell him the name of the
advertiser. Said he wouldn't men,
tion it. "Why be such a stickler
for a policy?" His curiosity was
so intense that he became rather
provoked that we would not give
the desired information. He SEEM
ed to fail utterly to see a point of
principle. We told him it was
against all newspaper ethics
"Ethics," said he, quick as a flash,
whats ethics?" He had US
stumped, we admit, but anything
to get away from the Want Ad.
We had to admit failure in giving
a clean-cut definition to Ethics.
J~deed it is fast becoming a lost
art. A physician will often refuse
to attend the patient until the reg
ular family doctor has been official
ly dismissed. That's Ethics. Com
nonsense it may or may not be
it depends often on the condition
of the patient. | knew a man to
die once from Discussion of Ethics.
Then there's ethics Of the legal
type. A lawyer often refuses to
take your last cent, if your regu-
lar attorney is not paid. These
are illustrations of formal ethics,
fast dying out. But there is a
Fundamental principle in dealing
with our fellow man according to
code, known as ethics. 1t is as
old as the Golden Rule. In fact
Ethics is only scientific name
for that preachment-"Do unto
Newark post., 1915-09-15

others, etc." interpreted today as
a Square Deal.
What" said our friend, "consti-
tutes violation Of ethics?" There
we had him. If Mrs. Smith has a
cancer and after dark slips around
to DR.. Jones' office-there is a vio-
lation of ethics if Mrs. Jones
shocks the Sewing Circle, the next
day with the news of Mrs. Smiths
affiiction.
When the amounts of the edi-
tors bank deposits are subject to
tea table discussion-that's not
ethics, and mighty poor business.
When the clients condolences are
matters of porch gossip there is
something wrong with ethics and
it's high time to hunt another
lawyer.
When the owner of a business
will hire the foreman from his
competitor with the hope of finding
out his custom and trade secrets
that's not ethics. When that
same competitor visits your plant,
and prizes into the work in hand
look out, there's something the
matter with his ethical sense.
Ethics can be carried too far.
We know a minister who refused
to conduct funeral service for
member Of another church until
he had the O. X. of the absent pas
tor.
"Do you call that ethics?" asked
our friend. No, that is really a
common example of ministerial
laziness hiding under a Prince AL
bert-the garb de luxe of Ethics.
But there's today a growing
sympathy for this practical ethics
in the business and professional
world. We expect our doctor, our
lawyer, our banker, our preacher,
our newspaper men to hold sub
timely sacred the condolences we
give them. Small items perhaps
of insignificant moment, they may
be, we exact this pledge of faith
from them. 1t is as great a breach
for these men to violate these con-
fidences as for the secretary to tell
of secrets of the office, or the tel
egraph operator or telephone CEN
tral to betray their trust.
It's true, maybe, that "God
made the country, man made the
city, and the Devil the small
town, but-oh, this is not personal
unless you are guilty.

OPTOMETRLST OPENS

The business awakening which
follows every summer has brought
to Newark an up to-date optomet-
rist, in the person of William G.

Mrs. A. R. Carlisle, opposite the
Opera House Building. Mr.. Wal

Mr.. Walton was born in Bristol,

graduated from the Camden High
School he obtained a position with
Queen & Co., who were then the
foremost opticians in the country.

COLLEGE OPENS

Today, upward of three hundred
boys and girls enter college in
Newark. If viewed Alright, it is
no ordinary event A recognition
of the possibilities and a realiza-
tion of the responsibilities are
worthy of the serious attention of
us all. Dreaming, ambitius, full
OF life, these young men and young
women enter a new phase of the
world. And more than we realize
we, every one of us, play an i'm
pOrtant part. The environment
the influence of our association
the words we say or leave unsaid
the lives we live, will make an i'm
preston on their lives that will
react on society.
Success or failure stands only a
few years ahead. Leaving New
ark, these boys and girls will &C
out into three hundred communi,
ties and take up their work as cit
izenS and home makers. They will
WELD their influence, the strength
and merit of which depends large
ly upon the training and associa-
tion here.
The faculty, the Board of Trus-
tees, have no idle task. The work
of the teacher teaches not only
how to make living but how to
make life.
Other than those directly asso-
ciated with the college, every one
of US in Newark has an opportuni-
ty. We make the environment for
this body of students. They will
come into our homes, attend our
churches, hear our town gossip,
learn our ways of local govern
ment. Nor deceive yourself that
this will not leave its impress.
Upon us depends in great part the
spirit of Democracy or the culture
Of Snobbery. In a State Institu-
tiOn such as Delaware College,
there is no room for class distinc-
ton. On this campus, family
name, clothes, or social promi-
mence has no place. Save Della
ware from the day when College
Aristocracy makes up the "Invis-
BILE Government" The poor un-
cultured boy, unused to the social
ways Of Newark, has as much, yes,
superior right, as the petted son
Of wealth or family. Let us see to
it that that boy and that girl are
made welcome. And too, let us
see to it that they detect no false
note or shame in our ways Of liv-
ing. Indeed this is more import
art than most citizens realize. We
know. We know how the awkward
boy feels. We know what he
thinks. We know that men in
Newark who have little or no as.
sociation with the college have an
influence. We know this because
of personal experience.
Delaware opens this year with
new aspirations, broad opportuni-
ties. Let us have a care. She is
State Institution about to play
the part which this newer day and
thought demands. Let us play our
part. Upon the Faculty rests most
largely the success-but we can
help.
