British National Anthem.

The authorship Of the British Ma.
tional anthem furnishes one of those
evergreen subjects of dispute which de.
light the soul of individuals whose joy
it is TO write letters to the press, obs
serves a British exchange. Probably
there viii also be conflicting evidences
on the question, but the common opin1
ion now is that Henry Carey, who died
in October, 1743, was the author. At
any rate. Carey sang the song rs his
own composition at a dinner party in
CornhiIl, while shortly afterwards he
approached a publisher with the manu-
script. 1t was not at once accepted,
and seems to have been first sung 10
public in 1745-two years after Carey's
death.

WHY He Quit.

A new confectionery store opened
its doors in the north part Of the city
recently, states the indianapolis News.
The proprietor hired a skilled candy
maker. His troubles started early.
The candy maker went on big
spree, and in few days the stock IN
the store ran low. The proprietor went.
out on a hunt for the candy maker and
finally found him and Strengthened
him up SO he could work again.
But when he was ready for work the
sugar famine was on with all Of its.
terrors, and no sugar was obtainable.
This condition continued for several
days and when he finally got a sugar
supply the candy maker was absent
again.
The proprietor closed the doors, sold
the remaining stock and store fixtures
at auction and retired from the candy
business.

oil From Melon Seeds.

A genuine American invention orig
mated at Rocky Ford. where a melon
grower named Burrill. with the fac
ulty of inductive reasoning, found out
that a clear, rich oil can be expressed
from the seeds of cantaloupes, notes
the Chicago Tribune. He submitted
samples to government chemists at
washington, who notified him that
their tests indicated new table oil Of
the same texture and color as olive oil,
one which needed no refining process.
There is wide significance In this dis
covery, which indicates melons, squash
and pumpkin seeds, as perhaps those
Of citrus fruit as well. as a prolific
source Of oil supply.

In some of the high attitudes in the

logging trains are employed to bring

Sixth and King streets, is receiving a
number of requests from farmers ot the
State for boys To work on farms. Most
Of these bows are wanted at once by the
farmers, and the reserve has only been
able to supply few, as the majority
of boys enrolled for this work have been
school boys whose summer vacations
have not started. The State director,
Charles Warner, makes an appeal to all
boys over l6 years OF age, who have no
employment. to enroll for this work.
There are number of boys who do not
attend school and have no regular en-
ployment who should volunteer Tor iarm
work as patriotic duty to their country
in this hour of distress. There are also
a number of boys employed in non-essen-
tial work to the government at this time,
who would be of far more value to their
country f they were to volunteer tor farm
work. These should also apply for
enrolment in the reserve. There is an
enrolling officer in practically every fair
sized town in the State of Delaware.
They are generally situated IN the high
schools. The enrolling officer in Whining
ton for boys who do not attend
school) is in the old Federal Building at
Sixth and King streets.
The reserve will keep in touch with
each boy placed on the farm, by having
representative call upon him and his
employer at frequent intervals. II will
be the duty of this representative to talk
over the work with the boy and his
employer, the farmer, and give them
advice. 1t will also be the duty of the
representative to inspect the housing
conditions, sec that they are satisfactory
and that the boy is we'll cared for
Enroll now boys, and you will never
