FEVER MENACES U. S.

While the epidemic typhus fever in
Europe seems to be on the decrease be-
cause the little insect which transmits
it paradoXically goes into winter quar-
ters in Summer, the United States
Public Health Service has issued
warning to all quarantine officers to
keep sharp lookout for the disease
among passengers arriving from Greek
and Italian ports. The overcrowding,
lack of bathing facilities, and general
insanitary conditions brought about by
the state of war in Europe have made
fiscal year 19l4-15 typhus year. The
extensive outbreak which occurred in
Austria-Hungary and Servia is probably
responsible for the introduction of the
disease into Germany, but as immigra-
tion from these countries is at the
present time practically nil the Govern
ment's sanitary corps considers passen-
gers from Greece and Italy of greater
potential health menace. The disease
has also been reported in Spain; at
Zurich and st. Gall in Switzerland; and
Moscow, Odessa, Petrograd and War
saw in Russia.

BREEDING OF DAIRY CATTLE

With the object of advancing the
breeding of dairy cattle in Delaware
and improving marketing conditions,
the Cow-Testing Association of Della
ware was organized at a meeting of
farmers held Monday nj ght at the Office
of the Delaware State Fair Association

part of the nationwide movement to
improve dairy conditions. The objects
of the association are to improve the
breed of dairy cattle, to install efficient
methods of marketing in the dairy bust
ness and t3 secure for the consumer
the best grade of products Experts in
dairying from the Department of Agri-
culture will advise dairymen.
The meeting was addressed by Pro-
fessor Harry Hayward, dean of the De-
partment Of Agriculture of Delaware
College, and Special Agent Kirkus of
the Department of Agriculture, station
at Delaware College The association
organized by electing Newton L. Grubb
president, ]. Atwood Weldin, vice presi-
dent, and Horace Dilworth, secretary

MARKETING PEACHES

The peach crop of the country will
amount this Year, it is estimated, to
more than 5S, 900, 900 bushels. With the
application of more scientific methods,
the crop has increased greatly in recent
years, and the peach grower is now
confronted with problems of marketing,
rather than of production. Owing to
their perishable nature, peaches are
unusually difficult to dispose of without
loss, and good distribution is essential
to prevent the glutting of some markets
while scarcity and high prices prevail
elsewhere.
In order to facilitate proper distribu-
ton the department has just published
the results of "A study OF the movement
of the peach crop in 1914. Georgiait is
found, ships practically double the
amount of any other State, 4,803 car
loads coming from there in 1914. Cali
fornia, Washington, Ohio, Michigan and
Colorado follow with shipments of be-
tween two and three thousand cars.
The other States bring the total to 30,
900 carloads.
In handling this vast crop there is no
uniformity in packing or grading. A
change in this respect would, it is said,
result in a higher level of prices, for
high-grade fruit can almost always be
disposed of. Another recommendation
is that dealers in the smaller towns CO.
operate in buying peaches by the car
load and in pushing their sale.
The publication already mentioned,
lIuiletin No. 298, contains, in addition
to statistics on the movement of the
crop, map showing the peach areas
and graphic calendar showing the
duration of the shipping season in each
State.

ROBBINS CIRCUS COMING

Following The policy established
thrty-hve years ago when he first put
show on the road, Frank A. Robbins,
the veteran circus man, who brings his
shows here on Monday, September 9th
has among his star acts many which are
not seen with any other circus on the
road this year. Mr.. Robbins spent all
winter securing the country for the
kind of features which are "different".
There has beer a substantial increase
made in the parade, menagerie and
other equipment, so that the show,
which has been in Trenton all winter, ap-
pears so charged and improved that
there is little did about it, but the name.
The greatest feature of the show is
Hillary Long, who leaps the gap and
walks" down stairs on his head, the
only person in the world who does the
act, will be seen at every performance.
Dafying all laws of nature, and without
the use of his hands at any time, he
mounts an incline, balances on his head
and slides along distance of ten feet
to a gap which he leaps across and lands
on a similar incline on tbe other side,
still inverted. The performance will
be given twice a day.
Graceful bareback riders, aerialists,
recently returned from tour of South
America a big group of fun makers,
three bands. and hundred other per-
formers provide an entertainment
which lasts for two solid hours.
Two shows will be given, no matter
what the weather. The first will be at
two o'clock ih the afternoon, and the
other promptly at eight The doors of
the big canvas will open one hour earl
Ter, so that the enlarged menagerie
may be viewed leisurely, and with full
knowledge that nothing will be missed
in the main tent.

SUMMER VA CATION OVER

Vacation days are over, and where is
the boy who will come forward and say
that he is glad that the happy carefree
summer has passed. and after that he is
happy IN the thought that the reopen
ing oil school is but Il few days, nay,
nut lew hours off! There may be a
boy or two in the country, truly and
sincerely anxious to get back in school
room harness and the highly enjoyable
routine OF study, and there may be
some girls, for the latter are less prone
TO grleve and pine over the loss of a
hohday than are boys, but we venture
to say that the gre Eat majority of both
boys and girls are regretlul that their
long holiday has drawn to a close.
How many of the boys, will not be
found gazing ahead, and thinking long
ihgly OF the Old sWimmin' spot, or some
othef taVorlte haunt or happy meeting
place? And where the girl who will not
regret the outings, picnics, parties and
various other forms of amusements that
nave made their summer one continual
round Of pleasure!
Youth, having only a limited past
IlVes only in the present and future, and
1t is entirely natu raj and highly char
acierIstlc OF boys and girls to lay aside
their regrets at the loss of one play
thing and to find speedy consolation and
pleasure in another.
30 eager and bbuyant are their young
lives, so keen and active their mentali-
tles' that in a few days they will be
deeply interested and keenly absorbed
IN some other form Of pleasure. Whether
their interest is conferred on their studies
depends to large extent on their en-
Vlronment, and the parent must share
with the teacher the work of stimula-
ting their intere st, and the burden of
holding them to the straight and narrow
way of routine q nd study.
Happily, the teachers are admirably
equipped for the Ir work, and happily for
the boys and girl Is under their care and
tutelege, they are receiving the hearty
cooperation of the parents, who are
furthering their efforts and supporting
their policies in highly admirable and
cOmmendable manner.
1t is this combination of intelligent
and efficient chi d-training on the part
OF the teacher, Df childish enthusiasm
and eagerness to acquire knowledge on
the part Of the child, and cooperative
effort on the part of the parent that is
tending to promote the high degree OF
excellence of our public school system,
and IS producing the splendid men and
noble women, who are going out each
year from the various schools of the
county.
The management of our school affairs
is in capable and efficient hands, and
with earnest and intelligent teachers
plotting our youth, the result cannot be
anything but beneficial to the pupils,
who are in efl'edt and fact our men and
women Of tomorrow

SCHOOL DAYS

Lo! September days are here,
How silently they have crept;
Summer has vanished so suddenly
But it went out step by step.
We see the children passing by,
They look so clean and bright;
But when the bell begins to ring
They run with all their might
A pack of books they carry,
TO some they are a delight;
But those who are very mischievous
Wish books were out of sight.
Spelling, arithmetic and topography,
Now have come in play,
know some tired little folks
Wish recess would last all day.
Instead of having to study,
About Europe, Africa and such,
And those who live in Holland,
Who can t speak English but Dutch.
Such folks are hard to understand,
Ihey dress so queer you know;
While the teacher instructs so plainly
To those seated in the front row.
When recess comes they're ready
To run and skip and play;
Many have large red apples
Which are soon put out of the way.
The ball game is never sighted
By the boys who like such fun,
And when they'r re called to duty
They wish they had just begun.
And when the day is over,
And the long hours passed;
A Joy is found springing
Whether marching out first or last.
These days are always remembered
Let our vocations be what they may;
We look back with fond recollection
When we use to frolic and play.
