finishing the business sections by 6
o'clock, some 20 to 80 per cent of the
entire street area. The cleaning Of the
remainder of the streets proceeds inn
mediately after the main streets are
finished, and the whole city Is cleaned
by a. m.
The Early Morning Plan.
The advantages of the syste n are
that the cleaning can be carried out by
daylight and is consequently better
performed than when carried out I'M
der artificial light, that the workmen
are more efficient as day workers than
as night workers, and that during the
early morning hours the traffic is at the
minimum.
No refuse may be placed on the side
walk, but must be kept on the house
holders premises in such places as will
not cause annoyance to the neighbors.
AS the street cleaning crews may be
expected at a fixed time daily the
householders are able to make their ar
engagements accordingly, and thus the
WuOle proceeding Is CdrIleu ouL liz ZIG
most expeditions and convenient man
ner.
Most Urgent Duty.
Perhaps the most urgent Of the du-
ties Of the street cleaners is the re-
moval from the streets of the carcasses
of dead animals, not only on account
of the unsightliness Of such objects,
but also because, especially in summer,
they are a menace to health. Singu-
larly enough, in many American cities,
including those constantly exploiting
their civic improvement plans, there Is
lack Of cooperation between the po-
lice, to whose notice such matters nat
urally first fall, and the street cleaning
departments, so that the carcasses re-
main often for days before being re-
moved.
1t would certainly seem necessary
preliminary to street planning to have
the streets free of such impediments.
Street cleaning machinery consists
principally Of three classes-sprinkling
sweeping and removing apparatus.

CLEAN UP AND KILL THE
MOSQUITOES.

"Cieanup time is here, and SO
is mosquito time. Grid on your
swatting armor and 60 forth.
One moment, however, before
you go-'the female is more
deadly than the male.'
Among mosquitoes the MEM
bers of the fair sex are fierce
bIoodsuckers that inject an ir-
ritating poison into our skins,
and they may accompany the
dose of toxin with a few fever
germs. The males lead COM
paratively tame existence, sub
sisting on the juices of plants
and fruits" So says member
of the University of Wisconsin
biology department.
"The speckle winged anopheIes,
the maIariaI mosquito" he con-
tinues, "hibernates during the
winter in our attics, cellars and
closets. The presence of many
lakes, swamps and ponds often
makes mosquitoes an intoIerabIe
pest.
"The female mosquito gorges
herself with blood in order that
the eggs may have abundant
nourishment. She deposits her
little egg raft on the surface of
quiet water during the night, and
it floats there until the larvae
hatch. The larvae are the wig
gIers' or 'wiggIetails' which are
seen in ponds and rainwater
barrels the world over. Though
mosquito larvae always develop
in water, they must breathe air
and frequently come to the sur
face. After few days the larva
sheds it's skin and becomes a big
headed pupa, which rests at the
surface until it splits up the
back to allow the adult mos
quito to emerge.
"The best way to get rid of
mosquitoes is to destroy their
) breeding places. This not only
, means draining swamps and fill
ing in ponds, but gathering up
tomato cans, putting netting
over horse troughs and rain
water barrels and watching the
cave troughs. If it is impossi-
; BILE to get rid of standing water
, near your premises, oil placed on
ponds will kill the larvae. Kero-
, sene or any light fuel oil will
, serve for this purpose. About
one ounce of oil will cover fif-
; teen square feet"

In Nebraska several public spirited

Ten Days
Free Trial

There is no proof we can offer
like the proof of actual usage to
convince you that the FAULTLESS
is all We claim for it. We don't
ask you to take our word for it
we offer you ten days free trial on
your own farm to prove that our
machine is faultless in service as
we'll as in name.
Just as soon as you receive the
FAULTLESS you can take it out
in your own field and try it out in
any way you wish for ten days. Try
it first on some small stumps until
you learn the simplicity of it's OPP
GRAFTON. Then try it on some med
ium size stumps and notice how
little effort is required to pull them
how speedily it can be done.
Remember you have ten full days
to test the FAULTLESS in every
conceivable way to prove to your
own satisfaction that it will live
up to all of our claims.
You are the judge and jury. You
alone make the decision. We leave
it entirely up to the machine itself
to prove our claims of superiority
in speed, hardness, safety, durabil-
ity and power. Let it show you how
easily and economically you can con-
vert your stump land into soil that
will produce money-making crops.
Order a FAULTLESS today, re-
Numbering that you have a full ten
days free trial before We consider
the machine sold.

Says German Cities Provide
Model For Americans.
STREET CLEANING SCIENCE.
No Refuse Should Be Placed on Side
waIk-The Sweeping Process Should
Be Started When No Traffic Is on
Street-Early Morning Best Time.
BY FRANK KOESTER.


The lack of system and want of tech
meal training on the part of many
American officials in charge make
street cleaning unnecessarily expensive,
leave the streets in a bad condition
and cause the cleaning to be carried
out in a disagreeable, insanitary way.
In foreign cities engineers specialize
on this subject. Street cleaning has
| been reduced to a science, and economy,
efficiency and the comfort and con-
venience of the public are considered.
The purpose Of street cleaning is to
remove as quickly and as cheaply as
possible all foreign matter in the streets
and thus to conduce to the health Of
the public by minimizing the circula-
| ton Of germ laden dust.
| The cleaning Of streets should be car
ried out in a systematic and thorough
manner The cleaners should proceed
in crews with the necessary apparatus
| both to clean the streets and the side
walks as we'll, if necessary, and the lay
|
member Of the crew needs to wait on
the progress of the other, but all pro-
coed simultaneously, and when they
have passed through the street the
work will be done. The method Of
piecemeal street cleaning, with the
householder sweeping dirt into the
street, the street cleaner sweeping it
into piles and the piles being removed
| by wagons, with the occasional passing
first on one side Of the street and then
on the other of some piece of street
cleaning apparatus, results in contin-
ual stirring up Of dust to the great dis
comfort and inconvenience of all con-
cerned, while the street never really
gets cleaned
The number of men in the cleaning
crew depends on the kind Of machinery
used. AS no machine is capable Of
| reaching all parts of the street, GER
| tain amount of manual sweeping Is
necessary, especially when the side
walks are cleaned in conjunction with
the machine sweeping, so that, as tndi-
|
will be cleaned at once.
| Must Be Clear of Traffic.
In order that such cleaning may pro-
coed with efficiency and dispatch, and
consequently with economy, the streets
must be practically clear of traffic, as
the presence of vehicles, especially
those standing at the curb, greatly de-
lays the work of the crew.
AS the operation of such crew also
handicaps traffic and as the public pre-
fers to see the streets clean, rather
than to see them being cleaned, it Is
essential to select a suitable hour for
cleaning. German cities have conduct
ed numerous tests for finding out the
most favorable hour. The city of Dres-
den adopted the practice Of cleaning
the main streets in the early morning
| hours, beginning about 4 o'clock and

The Cable Is
Guaranteed

We want you to notice that we do
not cOnfine our guarantee to cast
ings' as do other manufacturers. We
guarantee every part of the FAULT
LESS, including the cable No 9th
er manufacturer does this. We do
it because we believe that when we
build a splendid machine like the
FAULTLESS, we should equip it
with cable so good that it, too,
can be guaranteed.
We can guarantee our cable not
merely because of it's superior quail
ity, but because the FAULTLESS is
the only stump puller on the mar
ket that takes care of it's cable in
such a way as to protect it and in
sure it's long life.
Here's the way it does it:
The cable is fastened at top of
drum and winds down. The pull
ing coil is always the lowest coil
and winds away from other coils.
The FAULTLESS allows it's cable to
wind on drum only one layer deep.
Extra cable on the FAULTLESS is
always on the drum.
Don't buy stump puller that
does not have it's cable guaranteed
the same as it's other parts.

School, l-Garden Work
rizes Audrded
Pleased With The
Experiment

The Home Garden Work under.
taken last spring by pupils of the
Newark Grammar school, under
the direction of Miss Agnes Medill
has been pronounced by those who
planned the experiment splendid
success. The work was outlined
by j. R. Randall, an expert in
school gardening work, from
Washington. Children who plant
ed and continued to work their
gardens throughout the year were
John Clancy, Howard Reed, Earl
Evans, Frank Garatva, Bayard
Lindell, Earl Lindell, Leak Poole,
Pearle Poole, Joseph Willis, Rob-
ert and William Hayes, Herbert
Henning, Frank Durnall, Charles
Blest, and John Hoffecker. A
strict account Of all expenses was
kept by the children, and a report
of the profits from sales made to
Miss Medill. A prize Of $3.50, Of
fered by the Newark High School
Alumni Association, and seven
other prizes from friends interest
ed in the movement, have been
awarded as follows: John Clancy,
$3.50; Howard Reed, $500; Frank
Garatva, $3.50; Earl Evans, $1.25;
Bayard Lindell, $1.00; Earl Lin
dell, $1.00; Leah Poole, $1.00; JOS
eph Willis, $1.OO. Prof. G. A.
McCue acted as judge in awarding
the prizes. His decision was
based on the amount of truck
raised, the amount of work done,
the total profit, and the general ap-
pearance of the gardens.
The work was undertaken as an
experiment in connection with the
plan of the General Cooperation
Society of Delaware. 1t is believ-
ed the success of the local work
ers will lead to the introduction Of
the plan in six or eight Delaware
towns this coming year.

Home And Contents Burned

Fire of unknwn origin burned
the dwelling occupied by Henry
Bierman, on the old Webber estate,
Christiana early Saturday morn
ing. Mr.. and Mrs. Bierman, who
alone occupied the house, were
awakened about three o'clock by
the cracking of flames. They
were merely able to make their es-
cape from the building. Aside from
the furnishings of the house, one
hundred bushels of wheat, which
had been stored in the dwelling,
and a quantity of butter, eggs, and
chickens, prepared for the Satur-
days market, were burned. There
was no insurance on the contents
of the building. The loss of the
owner of the property, Mr.. Hess,
of Philadelphia, was covered by
insurance.
After the fire the family of A. j.
Coverdale, who also live on farm
near Christiana, took care of Mr..
and Mrs. Bierman, providing shell
ter and clothing for them. The
unfortunate people will live at the
Coverdale home for several days,
until other plans can be made.

00'''I'' rPo POSTMASTER
Number Of Candidates Men
toned

The sudden death of j. w.
Brown, postmaster for Newark,
will create a renewed interest in
the approaching appointment to
this office. The term of Mr.. Brown
would have expired late in Decem-
ber. Several names have already
been mentioned as active candi-
dates. The contest will now, no
doubt, begin in earnest.
Prominent among names men
toned are Joseph H. Hossinger,
Levi K. Bowen, and Frank Luton,
all of White Clay Hundred. T.
Roseby McMullin of Pencader is
also spoken of. The question of
the selection hinges on just who is
the recognized Salisbury leader in
this section. In recent years Mr..
Hossinger has been so considered.
If so, the appointment is generally
conceded to Mr.. Hossinger or to
his choice. Rumors have it, how
ever, that some of the older Dem
ocracy will take a hand. These
claim to have the ear of the pow.
ers that be.
| Nothing definite, of course, car
! be learned. Senator Salisbury
has already been reported as hold
ing a secret conference with {
prominent Democrat.
1t is generally conceded that tht
appointment will have significan
bearing on the political situation
in White Clay. The appointment
of McMullin would reinstate hin
as leader in Pencader. Whit
Clay Democracy, even in case of
contest, say that they will oppos
an out-of -the-hundred appointment
From now on the staid old Demo
Gratis will arouse themselves. /
