Figuring On The
County Tax Rate

Figures are still being compiled
by the Levy Court as to its esti-
mate of needed receipts and ex-
penditures for the coming fiscal
year with view to making the
budget.
Although no definite statements
have been made, it is believed that
the tax rate will be set at 70 cents,
an increase over last year at 10
cents on the $1OO. This increase,
it is further understood, will mate
rally increase the receipts OF the
county and place it again on It's
feet. For some time the county
has been unable to meet certain
bills, but has managed to pay the
salaries of the various county Of
fees. A number of large expendl-
lures will be due, to be paid with.
in the near future, which IN all
likelihood will be the reasons sci
forth should such an increase IN
the rate be announced.

along the route enable him to buy
the 200-foot strip necessary in

vent "any comebacks." He furth-

self and turning over the rights
to the state as he originally stipu-
lated
"It is up to the people," he said.
II will put up the money as fast
as they find the right of way"
When asked whether the deci-
sion pending in the courts would

piled that although the question
of the right to condemn was as

would proceed to build the high,

DARKNESS In
Mid-Afternoon

On the longest day of the year,
when several hours of sunlight
were yet due, thunderclouds of
unusual blackness swept this COM
munity yesterday. During the
twilight darkness torrents of rain
beat upon the northern windows.
The downpour was followed by
hail. Although the storm was Sc
we're little damage has been re-
ported in this immediate locality.
In the vicinity of Marshallton
hail as large as hen eggs are re-
ported to have fallen. In the vi
cinity of New Castle large hail
stones fell and did some damage
to growing crops, the wheat and
corn crops especially suffering. At
New Castle many window panes
were broken by the force of the
falling hail. Reports from other
sections of the county indicate
that the storm was general over
the county.

The object of this test is to in

Canning Demonstration
Schools In Kent County

County Agent M @. Pence has
completed arrangements with the
Women's College at Newark for
conducting canning demonstra-
tlons in various parts of Kent
county. These will be held in the
vicinity where the girls are en-
rolled in the canning club work.
One will be held in the vicinity of
Hartly, one near Dover, and one
near Houston. If interest can be
aroused in other sections the
work will be held in each place
also.
The plan, as so far developed, is
to have about two days at each
place, preferably at a school house
Those attending will not be limit
ed to the members of the Garden
Club nor to the girls alone.
On the first day at each place
the women as well as the girls
from the farms in the vicinity of
the school house will be invited
There will be no charge and only
some products for canning will be
called for. The women in atten-
dance should be able to get the
principles of canning the first
day. On the second day the girls

nbute To
DR.. Manning

With the summer School of Del
aware College in operation it IS a
fitting time to recall the service
to the teachers of Delaware rem
dered a dozen years or more by the
late Professor Eugene w. Mann
ing. Finding that youths prepar-
inc for Delaware College had lit
tie or no opportunity to make
acquaintance with elementary
French and German, DR.. Manning
volunteered to give free instruc-
tion in these languages to teach
erS of the public schools who
would meet him at Wilmington, at
GEORGETOWN, as | recall, and at
some other places in the state.
This he did in part, if not wholly,
at his own expense, taking the
time of an extremely busy man
such as he was in his regular col
Iege duties. and asking naught IN
return whether of material re-
ward or of local fame. 1t may be
said that he undertook this work
in the interest of his own depart
ment, but DR.. Manning did not
seek to magnify his office, and he
was hardly capable of a solely
selfish thought. His anticipation
in part of the work now done by
the Summer School, was charac-
teristic piece of self-devotion on
the part of a man whose memory
should be honored by all who are
moved to love and revere those
who forget themselves in their et
forts tn serve others.

Ingenious Method
Of Feeding Stock

The Harrington Journal gives
an interesting story of the agri-
cultural success of Senator Oliver
Newton, members of the State
Board of Agriculture and owner
Of a 320-acre farm near Bridge
vile, which the paper declares,
sis model of all that farm
should be-"
Senator Newton has devised a
scheme, which has been in use on
his farm for several years, where
by the livestock on his estate is
fed and watered by clockwork.
A clock in his bedroom feeds his
mules, horses and cattle at the
same minute every day. The feed
is placed the night previous upon
shutters over the feeding bins of
each animal, and at feeding times
a clock releases a spring, which in
turn pulls wire that releases a
lever at the barn, and every shut
ter drops and the animals can
start on their morning meal. In
the years this scheme has been in
operation it has never failed to de-
liver the meal on time.
This is only one of the many
unique arrangements on the farm
which have been worked out by
the brain of the senator,
In addition to growing berries
and chickens, Senator Newton
raises fruit on a large scale, and
is probably one of the most sue
cessful fruit growers in Delaware.
His ground was all cleared with
dynamite, and by careful planting,
high fertilization and systematic
cultivation he has accomplished
results that have astonished other
farmers in that vicinity.

Presidents Car Passes
Through Newark

The big dark blue touring car
which passed through Newark on
Monday attracting considerable
attention by the seal on each door,
was one from the White House be-
longing to President Wilson. The
car bore two license tags. one OF
the District of Columbia and one
of Maryland. The seal, about
four inches in diameter, could
easily be distinguished-the large
eagle, bearing in one claw a
bunch Of arrows, and in the other,
the laurels of victory. Mrs. Helen
Woodrow Bones, niece of Presl-
dent Wilson, second young wom-
an. a secret service officer, and the
chauffer were the occupants OF the
car. The car also passed through
Wilmington.

Memorial Services
Held Last Sunday

Services in memory of the de-
ceased members of |. 0. O. F. num-
Der II, were held in the Presby-
terian church, Newark, last Sun
day morning. The Rev. w. J.
Rowan preached a sermon from
the text found in Acts 13, Sc,
After he had served his own gen.
GRAFTON by the will of God, fell on
sleep, and was laid unto his faith
ers." The speaker analyzed and
defined service to humanity, and
c..ice to God, and compared
death to a sweet sleep, which
comes to the weary way-worn trav-
eller at the end of his journey.
A solo, 80 Rest in the Lord
from Elijah, by Miss Ritz, was
thoroughly appreciated.
