THE DEAD TOWN

DID you ever go lntO d IOWH
and, as you stepped from the
train, have it strike you sudden
ly that the town was dead?
Have you ever had town de-
scribed to you as a dead" town?
Have you ever stopped to analyze
Just what is meant by these
words dead town." In the last
analysis they mean just one
thing and that is that the mer-
chants of the town don't adver-
tise. A dead town has certain
D ,sitive aspects Of demise which
are as bald as piece of crepe
paper hanging on the door of a
private house. The stores seam
TO be merely existing. Their
shelves are covered with appa-
rently unsaleable goods. The
storekeepers seem to be vying
with each other to see which will
win the first prize as the town
crouch. If you talked with them
they knocked the town, they
knocked business, they knocked
the mail order house. They are
continually complaining that OF
her people did business and made
money but they didn't seem to
be able to sell anything. They
guessed it was the town. Yes,
that was it, = the town. If you
asked that merchant if he adj
vertised, he would have looked
at you with amazement. What
was the use of advertising when
business was so bad? People
who had money to spend, he
wouldJ. tell you, were sending 1t
to the mail order houses No,
he.would say he didn't advertise?
He wouldn't throw good money
after bad. On the other hand.
90 into a lively town and what
will you see? The merchants
have attractive displays in their
stores. The daily or weekly
newspapers are filled with big
announcements of special sales
or low priced goods. They are
not afraid of the mail order
houses because they have the
same means to reach the people
advertising that makes the
mail order house great, The
merchants have their local as
ISOLATION for mutual help, and
bennd the association the local
newspaper is pushing, pushing,
pushing. Everybody is working
and everybody is happy and
boosting, If you want a 1--we
town get behind the newspaper
and the newspaper will de the
rest. Forget the timeWorn ar
guments that the paper is dead
one. The paper is alive enough
if the people are alive. The
surest test of live town is
live newspaper, and newspaper
can't be alive unless the town
boosters do their share.

Rain Monday perfect deluge
of it; Tuesday, more rain, and ter
rife wind. With these words ends
the history of the Firemen's Car
nival to date. Workmen were on
the grounds early this morning,
however, to prepare for the grand
opening this evening. The large
vaudeville tent found in a hopeless
condition was loaded on a wagon
and started for Wilmington, wires
of lights were restrung and booths
retrimmed. By early afternoon
the new tent had arrived and the
grounds were rapidly becoming
lshipshape again. Manager Will
son when interviewed this morn
ing relative to the parade was un-
able to give positive information
concerning it. "If the work on
the grounds could be completed IN
time it will form one of the open
ing features, as planned he SAID
IF it does not come off on Wed
nesday evening it will begin
promptly at seven o'clock Ihurs-
day.

ALL DELAWARE REPRE-
SENTED AT FARM
DAY 4 PRONOUNCED SUCCESS

Men, women and children, num-
bering five thousand people, from
all parts of Delaware, met on
common ground last Thursday, the
occasion being Farmers Day at
the State Farm. The day, filled
with things of interest to rural
folk, was one of profit and inspira-
tion to everyone. Aside from the
thousands of Delawareans in the
crowd there were representatives
from the various states as far
West as Colorado, and as far south
as Texas. Three hundred auto
mobiles were parked on the
grounds at eleven thirty, several
hours before the incoming vehicles
had ceased to block the driveway.
One large truck from Dover, COM
manded by County Agent M. O.
Pence, brought about forty men,
bers of the girls canning clubs
and boys garden clubs of Kent
county.
The weather favored the pro-
gram of the day, the downpour
coming at the close of the meet
ing, only those few who were out
on the plots suffering any incon-
venience whatever.
The visitors spent the morning
hours inspecting the experimental
plots, the orchards, the poultry
plant, and the live stock on the
Farm. In the afternoon informal
speeches were made by Professors
McCue and Grantham, and Messrs
Shallcross, Derby, and Messick
representing the three counties.
The chief speakers of the day
were DR.. S. C.. Mitchell, president
of Delaware College, and Profes'
sor Harry Hayward, director of
the College Farm. Their words
follow:

Worlds Record Predicted

At the Delaware College Expert
mental Farm there is hen enter
ed in the North American Egg
Laying Contest, and owned by a
, Philadelphia, A. A. Christian,
that is expected to break the
worlds record in laying. The
champion-to-be is a White Leg
horn, weighing only 3.8 pounds,
and since November first last,
when the contest began with 500
birds, she has laid 231 pearly
eggs. Barring accidents the hen
will have swept past the 800 mark
by the close of the contest year
and will have made a record that
will make it the most famous pull
let in the world. 1t was raised on
the Eastern Shore, near Green's
boro, Md.

FLREMAN,S CARNIVAL
WEEK At HAND


The unexpected weather has
forced the management to change
several details, among others the
performance of Dare Devil Rex,
the champion roller skater OF the
world, who will perform his slide
for life this evening only, instead
of on three consecutive evenings
as originally intended. The list
of attractions on the grounds in
cludes all of those that proved so
popular last year, with a number
of new ones.
w. H. Cook will have booth
where he will pop and sugar pop
corn while you wait. A soda foun-
tain has also been placed on the
grounds, where the crowd may
find genuine Rhodes Sodas.
The firemen after consultation
with many townspeople have de-
cided to postpone the CHANGING OF
the 1915 Ford automobile until
the last evening of the carnival. 1t
is intended to continue the fair for
two evenings next week.

Teachers Join Peace League

Mr.. Howard Ennis, president of
the Delaware Branch American
School Peace League, spent Tues
day at the Summer School at Della
ware College, in conference with
Mr.. Raymond Moley, relative to the
work of the League during the
coming year. About one hundred
teachers have enrolled as members
The fact that many of these have
completed the course in lnterna-
tional Relations argues we'll for
sane history teaching and the de-
velopment of wholesome interna-
tional ideals.
