RUSHING WORK
ON THE FARMS
Belated Harvesters Hard AT

Munition plants, war orders,
building operations are loafing
on the job compared to the activi-
ties of the farmers this week.
Scarcely able to sit still Sunday,
they were out early Monday morn
ing with the threshing, getting in
hay, drying out the oats. Phren-
ologists tell us that the farmer
has big bump of hope. A clear
day, and he forgets the rains and
destruction of crops of yesterday,
He accepts the today and makes
the most of it. Hay that had not
been cut is being put in this
week. Fortunate the man who
had not cut. Alfalfa, second cut
ting, is just right and good crop
is being harvested. Wheat is
turning out we'll. Price just now
is we'll above the dollar mark
Milk at the local creamery has 6
slight increase, S1.55 per hundred
or little less than a cents {
quart. Market products are goot
sale. So he is thankful for these
small favors and is enjoying thu
work and weather.

WEATHER.
WHAT 1T MEANS
In Round Dollars And Cents

Farmers in this locality can
easily believe the statement re-
Gently made by the head of the
British Meteorological Office, that
bad weather costs the farmers of
the British Isles about ore hum
dred million dollars a year. In our
own country it has been estimated
that a difference Of one inch in
the rainfall occurring during July
in six states means a difference of
two hundred and fifty million dol
lars in the value of the corn
(maize) crop. The world over,
the damage wrought by hail
storms is said to average about
two hundred million dollars a
year. In the city of Galveston g
single hurricane once destroyed
twenty million dollars worth OF
property and six thousand human
lives.

Mexicans

According to a dispatch recelv-
ed bv the Evening Journal of Will
mington last Monday, the first
battalion of Delaware troops saw
siens of active service just before
reaching Deming, New Mexico:
The trouble, it is reported, started
at Soccer. where the train con-
tanning the two Delaware batta-
lions was stoned. Rocks were
hurled at the train and orders
were issued to stop and give
chase No shots were fired, how
over as the bandits hastily sought
cover.
Probably reinforced by addi-
tions to their forces, the bandits
took new positions along the rail-
road and as the train passed FIN
Law, a volley of rifle shots rane
ont m Orders to return the fire
were given and a volley fashee
from the rifles of the American
troops. The rifles of the bandltS

Interview With DR.. kollock

A word of explanation of the
above notice is probably needed.
There is absolutely no need for
any one to become unduly alarm
ed. The whole fact is this:
Frequent tests of the water
supply is made by DR.. Watson at
the State Board of Health labora-
tory. His being on the ground
gives Newark an exceptional safe
gard in this respect. Yesterday
he found a slight contamination
of one of the tests. Immediately
he got busy and fortunately the
source was found. In recaulking
the water main above the B. & O.
the pipes had been left open, al
lowing surface drainage to enter
the system. Water in the tank
and in other sections of the town
according to severe tests is
found absolutely pure. In order
that every precaution be taken. 1t
was decided this morning to chlor-
mate the system which will rid
any possible contamination. The
neople are asked by the Board to
be in no wise alarmed. The waite,
is all right except this surface
water which was thoughtlessly
nermitted to enter the supply
Fortv-eight hours will relieve al
danger. Contrary to rumors. the
water supply in the reservoir is
pure, according to test this
morning The reservoir has beer
personally inspected by DR.. Wat
son and reported secure from
birds or similar contamination.

All Normal
Children Can Sing
Proper Instruction is the One Es-
sential

Miss Kellog, director of music
at the Delaware College Summer
School, addressed those interest
ed in the introduction of music
in the Newark schools, last Fri
day afternoon, following her
talk with charming selections,
suitable for children's voices.
Miss Kellog has had four years
special training for the work of
supervising the instruction of
children as we'll as six years ex-
perience in teaching. She en-
phasized the fact that children
should sing in light, fute-like
head tones, rather than the low
cultural singing of untaught chill
dren. Miss Kellog described the
methods of teaching used with
very little children. "Probably
ninety per cent of children six
years of age are 'monotones'
she said, that is, children who
cannot carry a tune. The teach
er first divide the children, seat
ing the little singers on one side,
and the morotones or listeners
on the other. She devotes the
greater part of her attention to
the 'listeners,' working with these
children until they on by one
gain a place among the singers.
At the end of the first term there
are usually only three or four
left, and the cause in practically
every instance of failure, can be
traced directly to adenoids or
some abnormal condition.
Every normal child can be
taught to sing" the speaker stat
ed, a fact both encouraging and
alarming, alarming when we feel
how much we are withholding
from the children of Newark in
failing to provide a capable sing
ing teacher.
Miss Kellog's illustration of the
high, simple, and charming little
tunes, with words that would de-
, light any child, could not but
make the listeners feel conscious
of all our little ones are missing,
and strengthen their wish that
this subject may soon be added to
the curriculum.
$50 many people consider music
q friI1 or non-essential" " Miss
t Kellog said. But few subjects
have greater practical value. Per
S haps the commonest cause OF
failure on the part of children tc
make their grades, is inattention
They have not been taught to lis
ten. Musical dictation develops
6 the power of listening to re
:. markable degree; it demands close
attention, alertness and rapit
q thinking. Sight singing is founc
9 to have a direct effect on thu
= child's progress in drawing ant
writing, so closely are all the fac
" ulties related.
Miss Kellog closed insisting OF
n the necessity of supplying a goot
y instructor in case the subject il
:. introduced in the schools. Man.
, good musicians have not studied
!, children's voices, and such in
: structors oftentime prove posi-
4 tive menace to the children.

Work On West
Main Progressing

Work on permanent improve
ment on West Main street is be-
ing pushed as rapidly as possible.
With the completion of this sec
ton. the main street of the town
will be what can be called a mod
ern town thoroughfare. Some
criticism is heard relating to the
Sewer connections in that end Of
town. The point made is that con-
nectiOns should be made before
permanent street is completed.

HERE'S NATURES OWN
REMEDY FOR CATARRH
Hyomei Relieves Catarrh Without the
Use of Dangerous Drugs.

Not until Hyomei was discovered
has it been possible TO truthfully say
that real remedy for catarrh was
known.
Hyomei is an oil and its air is
breathed through small inhaler fur
nshed with il for few minutes four
times a day, and during that time
every particle of this Hyomei-laden
air taken into the air passages and
lungs is impregnated with a powerful
germ killing and health-giving anti
septic.
Sprays and lotions often cause dis
orders of the respiratory tracts or
bring on some other diseases and
never make a permanent cure of
catarrh. But when the air of Hyomei
penetrates to the inmost air cells of
the lungs and enters the blood with
the oxygen it not only kills the germs
in the blood, freeing the mucous mem
branes from poisonous microbes and
giving perfect health.
A complete outfit is inexpensive
and includes an inhaler, dropper and
sufficient Hyomei for several weeks
treatment.
Chas. Rhodes has so much faith in
the merit of Hyomei that he agrees
to return the money to any purchaser
who is not thoroughly satisfied.-Adv
