 The news of the passing away of Clifford Hemmeler at Washington, D. C., on Sunday morning was a great shock to the entire community. He was born March 3, 1885, the second son of John Hemmeler and Dora Essex Hemmeler and has always lived here. John Hemmeler and his two sons have for years filled a large place in the community, not only busi- ness wise, blacksmithing and livery, horse and automobile, but have been accommodating helpful, dependable and nefghbOrly. They are also widely known to the travelling public and to transients. Clifford had a friendly, genial personality and will be gener- ally missed. Great sympathy is felt for his father and only brother, Oscar, and for his wife and interesting little son and daughter. The circumstances of his last days are that while recu- perating from a severe attack of in duenza and not strong enough to go on with his usual work it seemed to be the time to take his family on a long planned for trip to Washington, D. C., to visit his mother, now Mrs. Henry Starkweather, who for some years has resided there. He suffered a relapse on the wearisome Journey. A physician was called on his arrival at his mothers home, pneumonia de- day. His brother was summoned by wire and went on immediately, re- turning with the funeral party, reach ing West Wilmington on Wednesday, The funeral was held at the late home this Thursday afternoon at o'clock, with interment in the new cemetery extension.

School Begins Monday Sept. End.

A permanent democracy is only pos
sible where general education prevails.
Take away school system from it and
it's doom is sealed. For that reason
our country is spending seven hundred
million dollars (s7OO, 200, ,OOO annually
to prepare it's people for citizenship.
Thus far our school systems have not
had chance to show what they can do
for the country. In some states the
law provides for only four months
school in year, others have no COM
pulsory attendance law, and in others
that do have such law it is verv poor
ly enforced. The results of the opera
tions of recent registration laws indi-
cate that there are three million voters
in our midst who cannot read or write.
They constitute an element of weak
ness rather than of strength in our
national life.
Many men today regret that they
did not take advantage of their chan
ces to attend school when they were
boys. Many doors of opportunity are
closed to them that would be open if
they but had the necessary education.
Other men have done well with very
limited education but can not be pro-
noted because they lack the necessary
qualifications. They are thus disquali-
fed because they did not have chance
to get high school education when
they were boys or because they had the
chance and did not appreciate it 1t
makes no difference which, the results
are the same. Today they suffer the
handicap.
The offer.of a position to a boy, pay
ing a good wage, has often cut short
his preparation; and while it was
temporary gain, it finally proved his
permanent disadvantage. High wages
of the present time are liable to prove
too attractive to many boys and induce
them to discontinue their school work.
Five or ten years from now they will
have reached their limit of increased
service, of promotion, and have to join
that body of men who regret that they
did not attend school when they were
boys.
Education will mean more to every
man after this war is over than it ever
has in any age; students of the times
know it; and the National Bureau of
Education at Washington, D. c. is
sending circulars throughout the soun-

GRIFFITH ISN'T
DULLEST PLACE ON
EARTH These DAYS
Tt Has Produced Country s
Greatest Civilian Fight
ing Patriot.

Julius ArcGarry is the champion hit
EN- on the nose" patriot Of Griffith and
vicinity.
Up until the time that someone says
something that sounds pro-German to
McGarry the latter is the most peaceful
fellow you ever met. But when he gets
into action the other patriotic Griffith
ties retire TO a safe vantage and con-
gratulate each other on having such a
prize package in the community.
There was a mixup in Griffith this
week and as usual when patriotic is
sues are at stake. Julius was present.
some of the facts as to this affair are
clouded but the story given the greatest
credence by the townspeople is as fol-
lows:
Volunteers Repu1sed.
Joseph Covert and Chauncey Walters
had enlisted. adding more stars to the
galaxy in Griffith's service faC. 1t was
nearly time for the train on which they
were to leave and the boys went to the
plant Of the Associated Paper Products
Co. in which the J. c. White Co. IS
installing machinery and asked to see

good-b bye to their friends was checked
temporarily when a man named Jacob
foreman for the White Go. denied them
entrance There was a little loud talk
and Clarence De Reamer walked hur-
riediy towards the group.
Now our friend julius wasn't exactly
sure what was going on but he saw two
volunteer soldiers in an alteration and
he was prejudiced from the start. He
decided to conduct an investigation aft
erwards and act first When Julius land
ed on DeReamer it was perfect swing.
After the fight which wasn't long the
employees at the plant. learing that the
two volunteers had been denied en-
trance to say bood-bye threw down
their tools and went in a body to the
depot where they gave a royal farewell
to their young friends. There wasn't
much work done for about three-quar-
ters Of an hour at the plant.
NIcGarrv was arrested for assault and
battery on DeReamer who stated that
he had no intentions of siding against
the soldiers Julius plead guilty ana
paid fine of a dollar and costs. cheer
fully. He said that by pleading not
guilty he would drag other employees
into court and endanger their jobs. And
he admitted he was hasty in hitting De
Reamer.
Jacob said that when he refused to
permit the two boys into the plant he
did not know they were volunteers on
the eve of departure. However the fact
that Frank Miller who was with the
bows called him pro-German would in
didate there had been something said to
him along those lines
