Newsboy Main Competitor.

The competitor Of the canteen is the

He is a character. this salt newsie.
He Is young. He understands the needs
and the craving of the bluejacket. He
learns the special weaknesses OF the
different men, their preferences, and
he caters to them. Each day he has

pennies from the willing pockets of the
crew. Today he may sell patriotic silk
handkerchiefs. tomorrow picture play

Sailors Gain Weight.

The change Of life. Of air, of work
creates appetites. The hardened sailor
is not a heavy eater. and he never
spends his money on sweets. Malnutri-
tion may be the answer in many cases
among the new recruits. whose appe-
tites seem abnormal. 1t is fact that
the scales show gain for every new
man the first months in the service. As
] looked over the records I saw that
many sailors added as much as ten
pounds during the first month. 1t re-
called my boarding school days. We

the life and are kept aboard Ship Those
boys filled out, broadened, grew like

With Hundreds of Men
Learning to Fly
Accidents are Few

Records of the War Department
show that from the beginning of
training in June, 1917, to February
%, 1918, the fatalities at military
aviation fields in this country have
been 81; 10 officers and 20 cadets
killed in training flights, and II men
killed in unauthorized flights and
ground accidents.
Since the training began in the
United States, student aviators have
flown considerably more than 1907
600 miles. Hundreds of hitherto in
experienced men have been learning
to fly. Their early flights are under
the guidance of instructors, and prior
to these flights two or more months
are spent in preliminary groundwork.
There comes time, however, when
every student aviator must take his
machine up alone, and every precau-
ton has been taken to reduce the
number of accidents and safeguard
the aviator in his solo flights.

Cobb County feels a natural pride IN
the achievements of her sons who

world, and according to Prof. h. X.

him at the Court House Sunday af-
ternoon, "no man ever raised on Cobb
county soil has done more in conquer
ing difficulties or serving the causes
of humanity and clean government

what this man on clutches has
accomplished should be an inspira-

a magazine devoted to the welfare OF
Cripplcs, is an article paying very
high tribute to the character and
works Of Mr.. Upshaw.
Length forbids our reproducing it,
but suffice to say that it emphasizes
the fact that Mr.. Upshaw is nation
al character, and that his work foE
the causes he espouses is not con-
fined to the state of Georgia by any
means.
He has worked in the prohibition
campaign in that state, and many
others, and his services as a speaker
have been in demand by the Liberty
Loan Committees and other patriotic
workers throughout the country.

SCHOOLS WORKING
FOR WAR SAVINGS

Some progress is being made. Ma
rietta sold War Stamps to the value
of S978.O0 during February, which is
more than December and January
combined.
The total sold in Marietta up to
March 1st was 81 $4,000. But of
this amount, the pupils in the schools
bought $751;. worth, which goes to
show that the grown folks are not
taking serious interest in the matter
of investing their saving in govern
ment paper.
In a number of places $1,000 clubs
have been formed, including those
who agree to take that amount dur
ing the year. There is no lack OF
money, but the something else TO
make the connection between the
money and the stamp is lacking. May
that something be aroused.
The whole county has made pro-
press. There are no detailed reports
available from the chairman of dis
tricts; but the total for the whole
county amounts to $4,365, which is
nearly twice as much as was reported
on February 1st.
Faithful work is being done in the
schools. 1t is interesting to note the
work of the different grades. The
very young and the more mature are
rather weak on savings. Seventh A.
Grade in the Old School is ahead of
all the others.

LEAVE TO PUR-
CHASE CATTLE

The Farmers Trust Company of
Newark and the National Bank of
Odessa have instructed Mr.. James
Moore of Middletown, Mr.. Palmer
Dickey of Stanton, and County
Agent R. O. Bausman, to purchase
a car load of Holstein stock.
These men will leave this week
end for Livingston County, Mich
igan, where they expect to pur-
chase the cows. The banks expect
to pay about $3.50 each and the
COWS will not only be pedigreed,
but will have official milk and but
ter fat records. This type of cat
tie will be suitable for starting
pure bred herd. The cattle will
arrive in Newark and in Middle
town about the middle of March,
and will be placed in one of the
town stables for three ays for in
spection. The arrival of these cat
tie will be announced and it is
hoped that every FARMER of the
Cunty will drop in and see them.
If the farmers are pleased with
them there is no doubt but that the
banks will consider bringing in
other car loads. The banks are
financing this project purely from
the standpoint of developing the
dairy business of New Castle
County. The cows in these first
car loads have been spoken for by
some of our county farmers.

ACCOUNT BOOKS
FOR FARMERS
County Agent Urges Their
Use

To meet the requirements of the
income tax and to put the farmers
of the county in a better position
to know their business, the exten-
sion department of Delaware Col
lege has had printed farm account
books, suitable for the use Of busy
farmers. These books are very
simple and can be kept in order
with about three minutes work
each day after the book has been
started "If this book is used" R,
0. Bausman, County Agent of New
Castle, says in a letter addressed
to the farmers, "at the end of the
year the farmer is not only in a
position to make his returns for
the income tax, but he has a bet
ter understanding of his farm op-
erations for the year, and is in a
position to show the consumer that
he is working only for very rea-
sonable profit, instead of an ex-
/ orbitant profit as many city people
now believe"
