Plans For Home
Economics Work

Miss Elizabeth jefferson, con-
znected with the Women's College
Ras an extension worker in home
Economics has been conducting
two home making schools in Sus-
Sex County. One of them is To-
Gated at Ocean View and one at
SMillville. There are Is registered
lat Ocean View and 9 at Millville.
THE schools which will be run for
five weeks are attracting much at
5tention and great interest is being
staken in them by the actual home
raakers of the community who are
saAtending the schools. In addi-
sstion to the work of Miss Jefferson
i'll the school, arrangements have
been made for number of lee
lures in the schools in the after
noon on subjects of interest to
home makers. These lectures Will
be given by County Agent Pelton
Of Sussex county, Professor Mary
ID. Rich of the Women's College,
|sand A. N. Pollard, the poultry ex-
bert of Delaware College.
After these schools are closed
Miss Jefferson will undertake some
Jabublic school work and also work
In New Castle and Kent counties
Ia connection with the Girls Clubs.

Newark Without Rural
Delivery Service

Rural Free Delivery-there
amt no sich thing! Patrons of 81
miles of Rural Routes will receive
no mail today and no provision
made yet. Robert Grow, who was
temporarily appointed to take the
route until Civil Service exam
ination was held notified Post Mas
ter Brown of his resignation on
Monday of this week. Mr.. Grow
made his last trip yesterday. The
local postal authorities have twice
notified the Department at Wash
ington. No reply. Telegraphed
early this morning. Still no reply.
Complaints are being made every
where. The Burleson at Washing
ton can't be reached.
At present, the facts are, that
the original three rural routes are
without service of any kind. Fur
ther than that no assurance of
service is given at Washington.
So far impudent silence is the pol
icy in vogue. Whether this COM
munity will adopt the national
policy of "watchful waiting" is yet
to be seen.
Another thing that came out this
week is the fact that in the new
routing, several patrons have been
left off. These can secure their
mail by placing their boxes at the
nearest point ranging,-so the
carrier tells us, of IA to 3-4 of q
mile from residence.
/ The most striking instance is be-
low the P. B. & w. R. R., the Col.
lege Farm, R. A. Whittingham,
and the Pencader Stock Farm
These are left off the routing en-.
tirely. And without notice of any
kind.
The condition has upset the loca
office. Post Master Brown is do
ing everything in his power to ad
just matters. No one is blaming
local officials for the mixup.
AS a matter Of post office busi
ness, this latest trick of Burlesor
passes all limits of endurance.

Harvard Scholarship
Not Utilized

Owing to the failure of the COM
petitors for the scholarship offered
by the Harvard Club of Delaware,
to pass the entrance examinations
of Harvard University, no effort
will now be made to fill the berth
and the scholarship will not be
utilized this year.
Of the three competitors for the
scholarship, Robert Wier, Jr., has
entered Yale University; Rudolph
Stuart is student at Dartmouth;
and Gordon Mcmillan has matric-
ulated at Delaware.

COUNCIL
MEETING
Little General Business Con-
sidered

Little business was transacted
at the regular meeting of Council
last Monday evening. The ordi-
nance prohibiting the placing of
gasoline tanks or the filling of
automobiles on Main street was
passing. Permission was granted
5. E. kilmon, to move the frame
building recently occupied by ].
Rankin Armstrong; store, to a
site on New London avenue. This
concession was made because Of
the fact that the purchase of the
building was made before the
town ordinance prohibiting the
moving of buildings was passed.
Mr.. Kilmon is under bond for five
hundred dollars, to guarantee the
moving of the building without
damage to main street, or any in
convenience to traffic. The re-
quest of David Crime for an ex-
tension of town water to his prop
erty in the northern part of town
was granted. Owing to the fact
that it will be necessary to obtain
permission from the Pennsylvania
railroad to run the water main
under the Pomeroy railroad, this
Improvement will probably be de-
layed for several weeks.

Popular Agent Resigns

Charles Dougherty, for 7 years
ticket agent at the Pennsylvania
Station, has resigned his position
and accepted position with
wholesale produce firm at Ches-

travelling representative covering

of Mr.. Dougherty. His courtesy

road official.

"But if you are not here to work

place you where you may acquire
the habits, the industry, the eff

fact that people have not trained
themselves to the doing Of things
worth doing efficiently. New is
the time, young men, to train your

Request To Observe
Poets Birthday

Secretary of the Interior Lane
has written to the superintendent
of schools of the several states
suggesting that one of James
Whitcomb Riley's poems be read
in each school on October 7, the
anniversary of Mr.. Riley's birth.
The Secretary calls attention to
the fact that Mr.. Riley and Mr..
W. d. Howells are the last two sur
vivors of generation of literary
men who wer distinctively Ameri-
can and who did much in poetry
and prose to reveal the character
istics of American life.

Company E Moves
TolNew Armory

The new State Armory, head
quarters for Company E, has been
completed. The Company has
moved in and members are busy
fixing up their new quarters pre-
paratory to their winters work.
Several details of furnishing have
yet to be worked out before the
building will be open for publ,
inspection.
The State Military Board will
probably make the final inspection
sometime during the month, after
which it will be officially accept
ed and turned over to the State
Militia authorities.

From this 1T will be seen that
there are 80 students at work on
the campus today. They repre-
sent several states, such as New
York, Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Massachusetts, New Jersey, Vir-
ginia, Tennessee, and Ohio.
The distribution of the students
in the different departments is sig
nifcant. Of the 225 men in Della
ware College, 81 are engineers, 70
are taking agriculture, and SO are
in the arts and science course.
There are about 100 Freshmen in
Delaware College and about 40
Freshmen in the Women's College.
1t is noticeable that there is a
gratifying increase in the number
of students in electricity and
chemistry, as we'll as in agricult-
ure. Agriculture has the largest
number of students of any single
course in college, 70.
The rapid and efficient organ
ization of Delaware College the
present year is due to the fine
work of the new Office of Dean Ed
ward Laurence Smith, and to the
management of the new office of
the registrar, Miss Eleanor E.
Todd. Signal credit is due like
wise to the entrance committee,
consisting of Professor G. A.
Short, chairman, Dean Harry Hay
ward, and DR.. w. o. Sypherd.
Particularly gratifying has been
the hearty response of the stu
dents to the new regulations as to
the payment of all college fees i'm
mediately upon entrance, in &C
cordance with the plans of the
Board of Trustees. The readiness
with which the students fell into
/ this businesslike arrangement, is
indicative of the spirit of loyalty
and cooperation which has mark
ed throughout the life of the stu
dent-body in Delaware College.

NEW ROTARY FARM
TRACTOR EXHIBITED
Demonstration On Farm Of
II. P. Scott

1. oSoNl
In the presence of a number of
farmers and other interested,
demonstration was given on Sat-
urday afternoon of an Allis-Chal-
mers rotary tiller on the farm of
Henry P. Scott, near Delaware
City. Mr.. Scott has purchased this
machine and will use it on his
farm this fall. It is the first tiller
of it's kind tina thas been operated
east of the Mississippi river, al
though it has been Used for expert
mental work in the northwest. The
work of the tractor was successful.
Among those who witnessed the
demonstration were: former Judge
David T. Marvel, James P. Win
chester of Wilmington, DR.. Bel
vile, James Clark, Amos Collins of
Delaware City, Prof. Harry Hay
ward, A. E. Grantham and w. A.
Lintner of the Delaware College
Experimental Staion, and Robert
Weimer, Earl Dickey, and Howard
A. Broadwater, agricultural stu
dents of Delaware College. Pre-
vious to the demonstration some Of
the visitors were entertained at
luncheon by Mr.. Scott and his son
Harry.
The tractor demonstration took
place on the field north of the Del
aware City road and east of the
railroad tracks. 1t consisted of
preparing the seed bed on soy
bean stubble covered on cornstalk
ground and sod. In preparing sod
ground, it is necessary to go over
it twice, once to break up the sod
and once to prepare the seed bed.
The seed bed can be prepared from
a depth of one inch to one foot and
consequently the tiller is adapt
able to all kinds Of crops.
Those who saw the demonstra-
tion were surprised and much
pleased with it's work as it shows
great possibilities. The machine
was operated by C. H. Margell, a
gas engine expert who will instruct
Mr.. Scott's farm hands in operat-
ing it.
The tractor has one steering
wheel in front and two driving
wheels in the rear, 5 feet 2 inches
in diameter by II inches in width.
The drivers have a cast steel rim
with horizontal triangular projec-
tions on both sides of the flat rim
The projections come into action
more and more the softer the soil
The weight Of the machine with
the tiller is about $500 pounds.
The wheels Of the tractor are 6
feet 10 inches from center to CEN
ter. The whole machine with the
tiller is IA feet over all. The trac-
tor is equipped with a 4-cylinder
vertical motor, giving 80 horse
power. 1t is water-cooled, and the
large radiator is mounted in front
of it. The motor is placed length
wise of the tractor and forward
of the driving wheels.
The tractor does the work of a
plow, harrow and roller, IS the
ground is ready for seed after it
has been gone over by the ma
chine.
Inventors and designers have at
tempted for long time to con-
struct machine by means Of
which a seed bed might sbe prop
erly prepared in one operation.
Only recently have these attempts
been successful in Europe, and
the Allis-Chalmers Manufacturing
Co. of Milwaukee, Wisconsin, un-
dertook to introduce and manufac-
ture the machines in the United
States.
