State Fair Plans
Larger Than Ever

In response to repeated inquiries
as to the effect of the war on plans
for the 1917 Delaware State Fair,
the secretary, Samuel H. Wilson,
has issued the following state
ment:
We are making greater plans
this year than ever before for this
fair which will be held September
3rd to 7th., five days and five
nights. In addition, there appears
to be more enthusiasm on the part
of the exhibitors and concession
aries than in previous years and
| feel certain there will be a mark
ed increase in attendance at the
Fair this year.
1nasmuch as the present needs
of the country in an agricultural
way are greater than ever before,
it behooves each one of us to put
our shoulder to the wheel and
make this banner year, making
our Fair as educational and ag-
ricultural as possible.

Wins Fellowship At Western
College

Mr.. w. H. Savin, Senior in the
department of Agriculture, Della
ware College, has been elected to
a research fellowship in Animal
Husbandry at the Iowa Agricul-
tural College, Ames, Iowa. Mr..
Savin has completed his course in

his subjects. He has also taken an
active part in track athletes, ora
torical contests, in dramatics, and

On account of the record that Mr..

recently highly recommended him
for graduate work in two of the
larger institutions of the Middle
West, enabling Mr.. Savin to choose
between fellowships in Kansas and
Iowa. Both colleges have replied
to the faculty communication stat
ing that the Delawarean's recon-
mendations an d qualifications
were higher than Vhose received
from any other candidates. 1t is
matter of considerable satisfac-
tion to friends of Delaware College
to know that Mr.. Savni has made
such an enviable record and that
his prospects for the future, at one
of the best known institutions of
the country, are obright.
