Another victory for the locals, marked
the game at Academy Park on Saturday
last against the strong Artillery Fuse
b. B. c., of Wilmington. 1t was
game worth seeing, close and exciting,
and demonstrated that Middletown has
q fast team. Each member of the team
is doing his best. The manager Of the
home club has decided on a cut Of the
nrices of admission of ladies to Is cents,
instead of 25 cents as heretofore. The
charge is made in order to increase the
attendance especially of ladies-and it
is hoped large crowd may be the re-
suit. Saturdays game was a beauty.
Finn was at his best, striking out
twenty batters. and was well supported
by the boys back of him in the field and
at the bat. The feature of the game
was in the eighth when Ellison lifted
the ball to the centre field fence for a
home run scoring two men ahead Of him
bat by ruling of the game was allowed
only two bases. He was put out in an
attempt to score from third on a neat
hunt by the next batter. The score by
innings:
Artillery Fuse...... 600 600 0-1
Middletown.. .........0 8 0 0 o 0 x-6
FREMONT ON SATURDAY
The we'll known, strong fremont Club,
of Wilmington, will play the locals at
Academy Park on this Saturday after
noon.

Lad "a Hustler

Mr.. John c. Green. of this town, has
an 8-year-old son who is showing busi-
ness ability far ahead of the average
boy of his years. Jack, Jr., like the
majority of the boys, is a baseball
"fan," and wanted baseball. He
asked his father for the loan of a quar-
ter with which to buy the ball, and was
informed that if he got quarter out
of him he would have to work for it.
He was told to 60 out to the potato
patch and "bug" the potatoes, at a
compensation of five cents per dozen
for all the potato bugs caught. Jack
sought four of his baseball team, and
hired them for five cents each to help
out on the "bugging job" The two
acre patch was gone over carefully,
and in about two hours Jack appeared
with 65 dozen potato bugs, for which
his father was compelled to settle at
the rate agreed upon, and Jack, after
paying off his helpers, had the sum OF
So to add to his bank account in the
school savings fund.

Attention! Young Men!

1t. John w. Ramsey, of the Nation
al Guard of Delaware, will for some
weeks make Middletown his headquar-
ters to get some recruits to help fill up
the 600 odd men needed to bring Della

mental strength Of about 1900 men.
1t is hoped this may be done in order
that thus all the Blue Hens Chicks
may be kept in one body-'a consum-
nation devoutly to be wished" for rea-
sons of state pride and comradship.
1t. Ramsey halls from Newark and

Lectures on Liberty Bonds

A fair-sized crowd greeted the Liberty
Bond boosters on their arrival
here Tuesday. The children of the
public schools assembled at noon
in the public square and sang 'The
Star Spangled Banner"
Deputy Acknowledgement Percy War
rem Green made an earnest plea to the
people to buy Liberty Bonds. At the
close of his remarks he introduced JOS
iah Marvel, who spoke at length. He
drove home the truth of the European
war and made a strong plea that each
man and woman in the town buy bond.
He emphasized the justice of making
subscriptions through local banks that
they might have the credit attached to
the subscriptions and get the advantage
of the Federal Reserve which follows
the subscription.
Previous to the meeting the subscrip-
ton has been comparatively small, less
than $50. 900 having been subscribed for
through the two local banks. After
the speeches several subscriptions were
made.
Captain John B. LeFevre, of Com
pany D, of N. G. D., Dover, made 8
short address in the interest of recruit.

o! u SCOUT CAMP!

Camp life means to live under canvas,
away from the piles of brick and stone
that we generally call our cities. 1t
means to be in the open air, to breath
pure oxygen, to sleep upon "a bed of
boughs beside the trail," to hear the
whisper of the trees from amidst the
fragrance of the "couch of boughs, to
look at the campfire and the stars when
the sun has set, to ply the oar or weild
the paddle in the moonlight; to dive in
the cool waters of the lake or river at
dawn; to eat the plain, substantial food
of the forests and wilds, with the deli
cacy of the fish and fruit which they
afford; and to come heart to heart with
nature in constant communion with the
woods, the mountains, and streams-all
of this is camp, and all of this is good.
And best of all, all of this the Scouts of
Middletown enjoy.
A scout camp affords the finest method
for a boys education. Between the ages
of 12 and eighteen years the interests of
boy are general and reach all the way
from the catching of minnows and tad
poles, to the finding of God in the stars.
Each day brings him new discoveries,
and each night sends him back to his
camp bed, to sleep among the branches
of the balsam and fir, with an unspeak-
able Joy tugging at his heart. A summer
spent like this puts red blood into a
boys veins, a glow Of health to his
cheeks, the hardness of steel to his
muscles and sinews, and fits him for the
struggle of the school or shop that is
going to test his endurance during the
long winter months.
A boy learns to build his own bed out
of fallen timber, to make his own mat
tress out of fir branches. or by weaving
it out of grass, to cook his own meals;
to make his own fishing equipment; to
catch his own fish; to build his own fire;
to keep his camp clean, and in short to
rely upon himself and take care OF him.
self.
He learns self-resourcefulness in this
outdoor life faster than he would any
where else; and somehow or other, every
lake, and tree, and star, and pool OF
water come to be his personal friends,
so that no matter where he is never
alone: and whether in solitude or with
companions, is cheerful and sunny, and

There is still plenty of work to be
done at the Club House. Any one can
do this work, you do not have to be a
member of any of the above mentioned
classes, it isn't even necessary to be a
member of the Red Cross. The time is
coming when any woman who could
have made time to do this work and
didn't, will be ashamed Of the fact. If
your boy goes to the war and dies for
lack of proper medical attention it won't
lessen your sorrow any to remember that
you didn't even roll one bandage. Even
if you haven't boy you will work for
someone else's. Don't wait until it is
too late. Let us all do our 'bit" now,
the best we can, and then in the future,
no matter what happens, we can feel
that we did all we could to help.
The rooms are opened for work every
afternoon but Saturday unless the Club
House is rented. If these hours do not
suit you let US know and we will ar
range other hours, morning, afternoon
or evening.
Don't throw away your old kid gloves,
if you have any send them to Helen F.
Brady. They will be made US of. II
doesn't matter what color they are.
