Since the systematic work of eradi-
eating the cattle tick has been in Lake
county vast improvement in the ap-
pearance and weight of cattle is noted
lin practically all herds. Some skepti-
cal persons have declared the better
appearance and weight is due to the
Improvement in pasturage, but an OBJ
ject lesson at Emeralda recently
showed the fallacy of this declaration.

thousand persons fought their way in
to the trains to and from the Grune-
wald race course outside Berlin at the
great races on May 9. The newspa-
pers contain long accounts of the
scramble for places in the trains and
for admission to the race track
Many of those who succeeded in fore
ing their way through the crowds
found their clothing torn and their
bodies bruised. The newspapers
sharply criticize the railway authori-
ties and the management Of the
Jockey Club, declaring that as long as
the government permits racing, IT
should see that adequate facilities are
provided.

DELAWARE COLLEGE,
TAKEN OVEkBY
GOVERNMENT
Sign Contract to Train ESQ
Student Soldiers

The trustees of Delaware Col
lege on Friday signed contract
with the War Department which
practically turns the college over
to the government and makes it
military institution for the dura-
tion of the war.
This contract goes into effect
September 16 and calls for the
training of $50 young men, the
college to receive stipulated
amount from the government for
each one who takes the military
course. Ali Of the details have not
been worked out but will be given
to the public after the conference
of college representatives of the
Eastern Department and military
authorities now in session at
Plattsburg to which President
Mitchell and Dean Smith were
called.
The general scheme is that at
the college the government will
take young men of the state II or
1S years of age and upward who
have received a four years high
school education or it's equivalent,
and will enlist them as student
soldiers and train them without
cost to the boys or their parents,
The students will be educated in
military and academic subjects
and will be uniformed, equipped
and their sustenance paid for by
the government. They will receive
in addition $50 a month.
This course is not compulsory
for all students. Some may prefer
to register for the regular courses
and take their chances with The
draft. If student is physically
unfit for military service, the new
plan does not bar him from attend
ing college and finishing his edu
cation.
The primary purpose of the nev
arrangement is to educate boys t
become army officers of whom $50
900 will be needed by July l, 1915
according to estimates Of the Wa
Department. 1t is also desired t
favoid the mistake made by Englan
at the beginning of the war in mai
ing no provision for giving techn
cal training to her youths an
/, keeping her colleges at their no,
NAL efficiency.

UNIQUE SOLUTION
OF LABOR PROBLEM
Newark Farmer Secures
Enemy Alien

A unique method of solving the
perplexing problem of farm labor
shortage has been devised by John
A. Hopkins, a progressive farmer
living near here. A request was
filed at the office of Us district
attorney in Philadelphia asking
that an interned enemy alien be
assigned to him for farm labor. In
respond to this request a sturdy,
skilled Austrian was placed on Mr..
Hopkins farm for the duration of
the war. No obligation other than
the necessity of reporting to the
nearest postmaster any attempt to
escape, was assumed in the trans
action but Mr.. Hopkins pays the
man $50 a month, the amount paid
to his own boy who is serving in
the army. According to all reports
the man is contented and is doing
very good work.

School Problem

At a conference of Maryland
School authorities held at Balti-
more last week and presided over
by Governor Harrington, the fol-

high school and college tudents en-
gagged in farm work or other in
dustries essential to winning the
war be permitted to continue in
those occupations for one month
without prejudice to their acade'
mic standing, and that the same

TOMATO SEASON
AT HEIGHT
Ritters Receive $500 Baskets
Daily

Tomato season is at its height IN
Newark and vicinity, the P. j. Rit-
ter Company reporting as high as
1855 baskets per- day, delivered by
farmers of the community. The
usual acreage was doubled this
season, and practically all who
contracted report good yields.
One hundred nineteen employ
ees, at the Ritter plant, are hand
ling the crop. 1900 cases of pulp
are being made daily and about
$500 cases of ketchup.
The grape season is now at its
height and the yield is up to the
average. At the College Farm
there are 70 varieties all in excel
lent bearing.
The potato crop in this locality
is rather disappointing. The yield
is only one-half to one-third or
most farms.

seriousness that in doing so he

great cause at whose summons
every true heart offers it's supreme
sacrifice"
The Provost Marshal in the of
fetal notice states that the penalty
for failure to register is one year

WEBSTER WATCHED
OVER BRIDES BODY

BALTIMORE, Oct. 31.-Facts which
have just come to light strengthen
the belief that Mrs. Bernice CLANCY
Webster, the bride OF Carlyle p. Web
ster. had been dead for more than
twenty-four hours before her body
was discovered in the bridal suite Of
the Belvedere Hotel.
Webster still asserts that he did
not commit the crime until 10 o'clock
Monday morning. but the young bride
was neither seen nor heard from
after about o'clock, Saturday after
noon.
That Webster sat, like a ghoul,
watching the dead body of his wife
all day Sunday, is the present belief
OF detectives working on the case.
Nine times the girls mother tele-
phoned on Sunday, and nine times
Webster answered the telephone and
declared his wife could not come to
the telephone. The girls mother
wanted her to attend the funeral OF
an uncle Sunday afternoon. Webster
declared she was too overcome with
grief to go.
Once when the mother insisted on
talking to the girl, Webster turned
from the telephone and supposedly
addressed a question TO his wife. The
mother remembers now that she did
not hear her daughters voice in re-
NV although Webster repeated what
purported to be a message from her
TO the effect that she would be I'M
able to attend the funeral.
