from the citi1. $. and beg to sug-
Sgest the following: One very con-
4:Spicuous need Of this city Is a modern

make such a building memorial to
our soldiers?
The building could include a me
mortal hall or museum POSSIBLY
BOTH, where relics and souvenirs Of
the late war could be kept. There
could also be tablets in honor of those
Woh paid the full measure of devo-
ton to this cause.
Possible sites for this building are:
The Arnett property on Cleveland
avenue; the Calvin Arnett property
at the head of Adams street, and Mrs.
NEorrow's porperty on Locust avenue
The latter having the advantage of
onre than an acre Of ground which
could be converted into small park,
besides being less expansive, and be-
ing in q quiet and more retired place.
What kidd OF building could be
4nade to contribute more to the en-
3oymenS and profit OF the people Of
this county than a public library?
The modest experiment Of few

men, in carrying on at their own ex-

noon Delaware Colleges football team
suffered its second defeat of the season at
the hands Of the team from Ursinus

hard to tell just what the Delaware team
lacked in order to make the loss a win
But the most important element which
seemed to be lacking, was the proper CO.
ordination of the players,
Delaware's team seemed at all times to
have the Jump on their opponents, but
never could break away. Several long

HARLAN WINS.
Defeated Fort Mott at Football by the
Score of 27 to O.

The gridiron contest between the Har-
Ian and Fort Mott elevens, scheduled to
start at 2 o. clock Saturday afternoon, did
not commence until 3 o'clock, due to the
fact that the soldiers did not get their
leave in time to catch the train which
would have gotten them here few
minutes before the scheduled time
While the crowd at the South Side Park
was not as large as was expected, due
largely to cold weather and also that the
game was not announced until Friday
evening, there were over 500 football
fans on hand when the game started
At 245 O'Clock, the Fort Mott boys
arrived on the field, and at started
very fast and exciting game Although
Harlan had the visitors on the short end
of q to score when the whistle blew
for the first half, it was not due to the
work of the soldiers backfield, but to
their inability as tacklers, which made
possible the 27 points. When the Fort
boys got the ball. it was with ease that
they went through Harlan's line, but lost
the ball on intercepted forward passes,
kick plays and bad breaks
