Much Speculation rs
To Post Office Site

The probable location of the
new postoffice site now that it has
been decided to transfer the orig
inal site to Delaware College is
causing much speculation among
the citizens of Newark. The gov
ernment appropriated $4,000 for
the purchase of site several
years ago. The property on the
northeast corner of Delaware
Avenue and Depot Road was-pur-
chased for this amount. Later the
college bought all the other prop
erty on that side Of Depot Road
from Main street to the Women's
College. 1t was then decided that
under the circumstances it would
not be feasible to erect the office
on that site. AS the college de-
sired this property to complete
plans mapped out for proposed
new buildings to be erected in the
future it was agreed to transfer
the property to the trustees with
the understanding that they pay
for another site that will be
suitable for the postoffice and at
the same time satisfactory to the
government officials and the town.
The prospects are that this ex-
change of properties will prove
expensive tot he college as the in
dications are that another suitable
property can not be secured for
less than $4,000 to $4,000. The
value of property especially in the
business section has taken a de-
cided jump since the original
pOstoffice site was bought.
Town Council is now making the
final plans for securing free mail
delivery service in Newark as the
receipts of the office now war
rants the government putting on
carriers. A map showing all the
streets in the town has been pre-
pared by Engineer Wilson, to meet
one of the government require
ments and arrangements are now
being made for numbering the
houses. After this is done car
riers will be named.

PICTURE COLLEC-
TON GROWING
Hope 10 Develop Educational
Museum Ideals

Rapid progress has been made
IN the work of making a collection
OF pictures for the use of the
schools of the State. Professor
Mary E. Rich of the Women's Col
lege, who is directing the move
ment, has wo' I.o' for the past
- car IN cooperation =. the New
/ Century Clubs and other x1tan-
lzatlons of the State. A summary
OF Professor Rich's report of the
work follows:
The schools of the State need
illustrative material and to make
collection of picture is the first
step. Later, we hope, this will de-
velop into an Educational Mu-
scum having exhibits of indus
trial processes and lantern slides
Tor school and general use. The
Circulating Picture Library is
we'll started for the whole state
responding to the need. The
Executive oZard of the Delaware
State Federation of Women's
Clubs gave $25 towards the cata-
loguing, the Newark New Century
Clubs $40 for general expenses
such as envelopes and stacks for
the library. The clubs of the
State have sent 1900 mounted pic
lures and the Newark Club
through its committees on Educa-
tion and Social Service with the
college students have mounted as
many more so at the present time
there are 5000 ready to be cata-
logued. A number of the club
members have entertained their
friends at picture mounting par
ties which have proved very de-
lightful as well as successful for
two hundred pictures can be cut
and pasted in an afternoon. Be-
sides this organized club work,
there have been many individual
contributions. One interested
person gave 5000 mounts, prom
inent Wilmington art dealer gave
1000 Of the Cosmos prints and
there have been many private ad-
ditions so that every week the Cir
culating Picture Library has
grown. The pictures are very
beautiful, some are foreign prints,
many are from the National Geo
graphic and Mentor Magazines,
and all are of educational value.
of pictures when correctly used.
A recent offer of the publication
of catalogue when the collection
shall have reached a sufficient size
will add greatly to it's efficiency.
The rapid development of this
movement shows that the Wom-
ems Clubs of Delaware are in
close touch with the fundamental
needs of the State and that the
State realizes that they are doing
splendid work.

ANOTHER DELAWARE
CHICKEN STORY

Samuel Little A Ribbon Fiend
Start discussion on "Why a
chicken crosses the Road" and it
wouldn't be long before you heard
from Samuel Little of Milford
Cross Roads. More than that, he
would know what he was talking
about. Poultry is his hobby. He
is a stone-mason by profession and
proof that he is good one can
be found at our new building. Un-
solicited comments have pronounc-
ed it as the best piece of stone
masonry in this section. While
this is his business, poultry is his
hobby. AS a tip, beware of an ar
gument with a man on his hobby.
Usually he knows his subject-and
that's more than most of us know.
Readers of The Post have no
doubt heard of the Little flock in
a casual way, but do you really
know what it is? Here are a few
items that may be of interest. On
his little farm of 10 acres above
Newark, he raises from 400 to 500
birds a year-White Wyandottes
and Single Comb White Leghorns.
During the past four years, these
birds have won 124 ribbons at
Lancaster, Baltimore, West Ches-
ter and Wilmington. Aside from
this six trophy cups. For the last
three years, he has won cups at
Wilmington for the BEST DIS
PLAY of White Wyandottes and
Single Comb White Leghorns. At
Wilmington in 1915 he took the
cups for First Best Display White
Wyandotte, First Best Display of
White Leghorn, First Best White
Wyandotte Cock and First Best
White Leghorn pullet.
At our request Mr.. Little has
loaned these trophies to us for
display in our window. A pretty
sight-124 ribbons and 6 hand
some trophy cups. This repre-
sents the winnings during the past
four years only.
Mr.. Little has been interested
in poultry for 25 years. At one
time he carried as many as fifty
varieties. He tells an interesting
story of following the big shows
some years ago with a car load of
display. In recent years, he has
confined his attention to the
White Wyandottes and White Leg
horns and with his winnings tax
ing practically all prizes in sight,
his Judgment would count in a
chicken argument.
The interesting thing about this
story is that Poultry is only a side
issue. There's a moral here that
gives a good tip to farmers. With
the competition at the Experiment
Farm and the establishment of a
Poultry Department in connection
with the College our farmers will
no doubt take more practical in
terest in the Mortgage Litter.
Hogs lift the mortgage in some
sections but in Delaware the old
hen has saved the day and fur
nshed the parlor besides. With all
this progress and recognition of
the merits of the hen, here is Sam
uel Little winning cups, ribbons
9"d making money all these years.
Let's get next.
