SECOND SERIES OF
LECTURES ON
Hon. 0. A. Eberhart Here this
Week

DR.. Adolph 0. Eberhart in his
lecture at Women's College on
Tuesday night explained that the
purpose of the National Security
League in giving the Patriotic
Training Course to teachers in
Summer Schools throughout the
country was to help mould public
opinion, without which no effective
step can me taken by the adpinis-
tration. The League considers
that no more potent influence is
available than that moulded by the
public school teacher.
The speaker set forth in very
clear and forcible manner the
plans why we must stay in this
war to win. 1--WE must win," he
said, mot only for the sake of the
100000 or more men who will
probably be engaged and the
enormous expense of ten billion
dollars year that is being spent,
but for our own protection. The
seas no longer furnish a barrier to
invasion but prove rather a
menace.
eve are fighting not merely for
Democracy but our life as ma
ton. We are now building a
merchant marine larger than that
of all nations combined and our
ships must be able to travel safely.
The sinking of the Lusitania was
virtually a declaration of war
against every nation in the world.
We must have commerce for our
fleet and must therefore be domi
nant factor in signing the treaty of
peace, and this treaty must be
binding on all nations"
Two things the speaker asserted,
we must teach the Kaiser first, that
an outrange like the sinking of the
Lusitania is declaration of
war on the civilized world; second,
that the only crown worth wearing
is the crown of a free citizenship.
He set forth very clearly, the
elements CLEANED from all nation
alities, that a cosmopolitan nation
like ours needs, and explained in
a very interesting manner how war
Illustrating his point by compar-
sion of close range fighting of Civil
War times with the long range fir
ing Of the present war made pos
sible by the use of the microphone
in triangulation Of sound and of
the telephone in shifting re-
suits of range calculations.

NEW MAN IN THE FRATERNITY

The New State Sentinel is new
indeed. The Sentinel of the old
days was typical of the country
press; the Sentinel of today is just
a little in advance of modern rural
press. The business which recent
ly changed hands promises well,-
new machinery and equipment,
modern office - everything that
makes for success. The editor,
new at the game, is rated by those
who know him as a bundle of
energy, true sportsman, possess
ing a sense of humor-all essen
tials in the newspaper game.
Unacquainted and unused to
type and writing, he claims, the
paper shows good judgment, a
sense of news, an appreciation of
good makeup and features. A new
man in the game, interests us es-
pecially. We have been there, are
still young at it for that matter.
The Sentinel in issues to date,
shows more news, real news, than
any other rural publication in the
State. 1t has some fine feature at
fractions. 1t suggests force and
real punch if called upon. 1t is
full of human interests; the editor
is a man, and writes like a man,
neither seeking nor Sinking a
fight. We shall watch with inter-
est this Sentinel on guard. He has
our best wishes; he interests us.

"LEST WE FORGET"
Great War Drama at Opera
House

Lest We Forget the eight-reel
motion picture to be shown at the
Opera House on Tuesday and We'd
nesday of next week, is pronounced
by motion picture critics one OF
the three best pictures ever filmed.
The management is discussing the
picture today declared it cost four
times the regular rental of the
Opera House to bring the picture
to Newark. 1t is the first picture
TO be booked for two-night run in
Newark. The sinking of the
Lusitania is a feature of the photo
drama.
Newark post. (Newark, Del.) 1910-1969, 1918-07-24

The average pure bred COW in the
county is worth from two hundred
fifty to three hundred dollars. To
be systematic, these cows should
be bred to a five or six hundred
dollar bull. AS the average farm
er is not in position to invest this
amount in one bull the only prac-
tical solution is the buying of one
comparatively through a county
bull association.
The New Castle County Bull As
ISOLATION will be made up of sew
eral blocks or units at different
points over the county. Each block
will be composed of from four to
seven farmers, depending upon the
size of their herds. The maximum
number Of cows in a, block will be
eighty head. The members of each
block will reside within a commun-
ity SO that each farmer will not be
more than mile from the center of
the block where the bull will be
kept. There will probably be five
of these blocks in the county with
approximately a $500 bull in each
block, at a cost Of around 500 per
farmer, depending upon the size of
his herd. Although the Association
is organized essentially for those
farmers having pure bred stock,
yet there is no more practical way
of building up a grade herd, and
several men with grade herds are
expected in the association. The
average farmer in the association
has but one or two pure bred COWS,
so that a good portion of the SER
vice he receives from the bull will
be on his grade COWS.
At the end Of two years each
block will have heifers that cannot
be bred back. Each block will ex-
change bulls according to rules of
the Association, with no additional
cost to the farmer. In two more
years another change will be made,
ETC., until every block has had the
service of every bull in the Asso-
citation. If there are five blocks in
the association it will mean that
each member of the Association
Will be provided the service of a
Dull for ten years, having the
privilege of breeding to five $500
bulls, a service of S25OO. for the
original cost of 500 or $3.50.
. This is the only practical propo-
sltlon that will enable a farmer to
purchase the class of stock that
Will command big prices. Prob
ably every dairy center of note has
attained its fame through the use
OF association bulls. The greater
portion of the Michigan cattle i'm
ported were sired by and bred to
association bulls.
The average farmer is reason
able IN preferring to have his bull
on his own farm, but any incon-
Venlenve he is put to in this plan is
more than offset by the price that
ne Will be able to ask for his stock
Because Of the rules of the bull as
sociations over the country it has
been demonstrated that contagious
abortion has been controlled far
better than when each farmer own
ed his own bull
If you are interested in this pro-
position speak to your Community
Farm Bureau Dairy Committeeman
Or your County Agent at Newark.
