BOWERS.

So far as the records show, last Sun
day was a record breaker for the time
of year for hot weather at Bowers
Beach. The wind blew from the land.
and the heat certainly made the people
hunt the shade. These was an unusual
number of automobiles loaded with
people who came to the beach for the
afternoon, hunting for a cool sea
! breeze, but they were disappointed,
and soon after hit the trail for a Joy
ride which was more cooling.
Shad haYe passed up the river for

fair to good results. The fishermen
have their haul seines ready and have
started fishing for trout, the old reli-
able fish for all the people of Delaware
and part of Maryland, but the catch so
far has been very light
Owners of cottages at Bowers Beach

putting them into first-class condition

THE practice of Christian Science, like
Woman Suffrage, continues to gain
ground in various parts of the United
States, and it will have to be recognized
on its merits, be they what they may.
In New Hampshire the legislature has
just made it legal for the Christian
Science people to practice their profess
sion and be relieved from any legal utter
ference, so long as they observe the or
ganized laws of society and the common
wealth in their methods.

THE people have been cleaning uI
their homes and property all this week,
and the carriers have found many loads
of rubbish to haul to the dump heaps,
which would have lain all summer as a
place to gather other rubbish and finally
become a nuisance, had not this cleanup
campaign started. Do rot let it stop
now; but continue to keep the premises
clean during the coming summer.
A law passed by the last Legislature re-
ouires that all dead animals, fowls, or
any offal from the cleaning of fowl for
home use, or the refuse from slaughter
houses must be buried at a reasonable
depth so that no nuisance can result from
that source. To kill chicken for din
ner and throw the entrals on the manure
heap, or into the rubbish heap into the
yard, will lay each person who does this,
in either town or in the country, liable
to a fine and punishment under the
health laws Of Delaware. Just remem-
Der that the law purposes to compel
those who are careless of the health and
comfort of others, to observe the proper
measures to keep clean conditions for not
only themselves, but for all the people.

In Memoriam.

In loving remembrance of our father
John Goodwin, who died May 5th, 1914.
Farewell. our dear father,
We've spent one sad and lonely year,
You left US all with aching hearts,
The day that you did from US part.
Our hearts are sad and lonely,
Our grief too deep TO tell;
But we know the time will come
When we may with thee dwell.

IT is an accepted fact that the annual
Teachers Institutes which are required to
be held in the several counties OF
Delaware, are the most important means
Of reaching the parents and those who
believe in the best that is possible in
public school work.
It was mistake when the observance
of the law on this point was cast aside
last fall and a State Institute of Teachers
held instead at Dover. This mistake
cost dearly, because it lost the earnest
support which might easily have been
won for educational legislation, by hav-
ing held this direct interest in each of
the three counties. There are other
reasons why County Institutes for teach
ers are Of greater value to the people,
which could be discussed at length, but
the important point now is the fact, that
the law ondhe subject has been brought
to the attention of the various depart
ments of the State government, and that
the plan for holding another State In
stitute for teachers this next fall, has
been dropped, and the County Superin-
tendents have arranged to hold their
separate institutes as the law provides.
The arrangements for the State Insti-
tute at Dover, had gone so far that the
talent was booked for its sessions, and
they could not be changed. With this
fact facing the superintendents, it was
necessary that the Kent and Sussex
County Institutes should be held in
(the New Castle County Insti-
stute acts separately, the Kent teachers
meeting in either the Avenue Church,
Or the New Century Club auditorium,
while the Sussex teachers will use Arm
Dry Hall, as usual. This will enable the
to work the same day in the
wo institutes, and the requirements of
aw be observed to the letter. The even

Seven years have passed but still we miss you,

"Iwant to belong" was the ecstatic
cry of that girl whose only hope of
happiness was to be merged into one
with the man she loved.
Oh, little book, little book, why is
1t given to us poor finite mortals to
imagine what we can never hope to
attain, to conceive what we are I'M
able to accomplish.
No mortal can become one with
another and no human being can
belong" to another as does ones

members Of ones body, to be I'M

Neither the mind nor the soul can
belong to anybody but the body the

Is that, too, incapable Of being re-

Can any wife become one-half Of

Am l fighting to bring Dick always
to my way Of thinking, and is he al
ways calmly insisting that his is the
only way?
Do the bonds that bind us, which
only four years ago we welded to-
gether with what we thought was
something so strong that only death
could break them, sometimes chafe

we cannot sing it, for our voices are

believe, little book, that know
how a condemned man feels while he
is waiting through the long, inter

Strange as it may seem, I believe

on my marriage morn.
Some way, little book, felt rather
sorry for that little girl. She had
such high hopes, such great aspira-
tons; she believed so thoroughly in
the possibilities of love and life.
That ecstatic outburst on ''the
night before my marriage" was her
farewell to the life she had known,

Look at the tongue, mother! If

A change in President Wilson's

Under the evil influence of Uranus
the public mind will be unusually sus-

Great storms and floods are predic-

A new Indian problem is likely to

BARRY FINED FOR
DISPLAYING A GUN
MAN WHO IS ALLEGED TO HAVE
ADOPTED STRENUOUS MEANS
TO COLLECT WAGES ENTERS
PLEA OF GUILTY.

James Barry, white, appeared at
the special plea day term of the court
of record yesterday and entered a
plea of guilty to charge of threaten
ing with a dangerous weapon. He
was fined SIS and costs of prosecution.
Three others also pleaded guilty,
two for vagrancy and one for assault.
In the last-named case fine of SIS
and costs was imposed. A short term
in Jail was imposed upon each of the
Migrants.
Barry, the man who pleaded to the
charge as above stated, is the plas-
terer who enforced the collection of
a sum of money which he alleged was
due him for wages. He is said to
have used the unloaded gun in fore
ing the payment of aboua $50 from
the man who employed him to do
some in his line on the new county
school house which is being erected
at Ferry Pass.

IAEN the war was over the men
Wv who spoke the mind Of the
majority and who accordingly
controlled policy in the new States
refused to make any distinction be-
tween those who had taken up arms
and those who had not.
In their eyes they were all alike
Tories and traitors; and many an
excess of persecution and spoilation,
many a wanton insult, many an act
of mere vengeance darkened the years

adding in an incalculable measure to

generations to mark the feeling OF
Canadians for their southern neigh

No one could wonder that civil war

how good men or true patriots any

It was part of :he almost universal
Generalization produced by the war
that every sentiment should now ex-
hibit its excess, every reaction prove
dangerously violent.
There was everywhere sort of
moral exhaustion: a relaxation of the
very principles of just and temperate
government which the war had been
fought to vindicate; a loss of tone,
an access of perilous agitation.
The war had brought many things

While the figure prevails it is well
