Newark Boy Tells Of Life In
France

Relatives in Newark received
last Thursday letter from j. A
O'Daniel, first lieutenant Nationa
Guard, telling of his experiences ii
crossing. He arrived in France
April fourth. On the way across
he was assigned to lookout duty in
the Crows Nest. No submarines
were sighted, and the voyage was
uneventful.
A second letter, dated April 13,
which arrived today, carries the
reinsurance that our boys can find
friends and acquaintance even
lover there"
They have a book here at the
YIN. G. A." he writes, (which all
who arrive are asked to sign. You
enter your name, record, state and
town, and date Of arrival. | had
just registered a few minutes ago,
when a man stepped up to sign.
He saw the name, O'Daniel, and
the address, Newark, Delaware, so
he asked, DO you know a Lieuten-
ant O'Danfel in the Eleventh In
fantry at Chicamauga?' 1t hap
pened that he was in the same
regiment with Mike and had done
guard duty with him, as we'll as
help him catch the train for home
Christmas. He told me that the
Eleventh is here now, but he has
not yet rejoined it. There is also
fellow here who knows Harvey
Ferguson and Biddy Bounds.
have met Lieutenant Sawdon, an
observer who went to school at
Fort Sill from Admission. He was
with me in the 10th and also in
the Delaware National Guard.
About one hundred enlisted men
out of Company c, Delaware Ma
tional Guard, arrived yesterday"
1t. O'Daniel describes the town
in which he is stationed as a very
interesting one with three large
and old cathedrals, several castles
nearby, and many interesting vii
las, along the river front. The
men get good meals-the best he
has found in his army experience
but there is no such thing as
buying food between meals. Food
is on sale at certain hours only in
the cafes.
He speaks of Miss Elsie Janis
entertaining the mex at the Y. M.
c. A. declaring, "She surely was
a treat and made you feel that YOU
were back in the good old U. S."

COUNTY CHAIRMAN
VISITS NEWARK
Asks Town to Raise $225.OOO

What would you give tonight to
prevent German invasion of your
town." Such was the question put
to the audience in Wolf Hall last
Friday evening by John S. Rossell,
chairman of the Liberty Loan Com
mittee of New Castle County. Della
ware has already raised her quota,
but this is not enough for Della
ware. We cannot rest until every
hundred has overscribed it's as
sessment.
If we can raise S17,500,O0O the
Dupont Company of Wilmington
will duplicate that sum and Della
ware will go on record as purchas-
ing 535, 5,000,000 of bonds - feat
which would bring to our state
every honor there is as far as that
goes.
Newark's quota is S161, 900; that
of White Clay Creek including
Newark, $4,000. l ask you to
raise S225,000 that your fathers,
mothers, sisters, brothers may
send to the boy in the trench or on
the battle line, the cheering mes
sage--we are back of you; We'll
stand behind you to the finish.
Subscribe in order that America
may be able to do what no other
nation can do, make the world a
safe place in which to live.
"How can Newark raise $685.
OO0?" Mr.. Rossell asked. "Only in
one way; only by each and every
one becoming an active worker and
keeping at it until midnight May
4th."
Music was furnished during the
evening by Minnehaha Band, the
combined glee clubs of Delaware
College and the Women's College.
There was also singing by quar-
tette-Mrs. J. P. Cam, Mrs. Anna
Mr.. Koehler, Professor
an instrumental solo by
Miss Elizabeth McNeal, and war

LOCAL FARMERS
MAKE RECORDS
Pure Bred Stock Awarded AS
Prizes

At the beginning of the Cow
Testing Association year in 1917
the Winterthur Farm, owned by H.
F. dupont, and the Lynthwaite
Farm, managed by Mr.. A. c. Smed-
ley, agreed to present 4 high-class
pure bred bull calf to the man who
owned the highest producing grade
or pure bred Holstein COW in each
of the Associations. At the same
time Delaware College agreed to
give a Guernsey bull calf of equal
merit to the man who owned the
highest producing grade or pure
bred Guernsey cow in the three
Associations in the State. The re-
cords from all three Associations
have very recently been completed
and it was found that there were
several very exceptional cows en-
tered in each Association.
For the Diamond State Associa-
tion, John Mitchell of Hockessin,
owns the record COW. This cow
during the year produced 1888
pounds of milk and 4461a pounds
of butter fat. Mr.. Mitchell has
received his prize calf
from the Lynthwaite Farm and is
very much pleased with him.
For the Middletown Cow Test
ing Association, Mr.. H. A. Batten
of McDonough, owns the record
COW. This cow during the year
produced 10,029 pounds of milk
and 376 pounds of butter fat. Mr..
Batten was presented with a bull
calf from the Winterthur Farm.
Mr.. Frank Dennison has the
nonor of owning the highest pro-
1ucing Guernsey COW entered in
he Cow Testing Associations of
he State. This COW produced
7,423 pounds of milk and 346
pounds of butter fat. Mr.. Denni-
son has very recently received the
'ull calf from the College Farm
which is calf of very exceptional
breeding. This calf is out of a
'ecord cow and sired by Golden
Rose May King, a half brother to
he high priced bull recently sold
~ the Farm. Although the cows
mentioned are the highest produc-
RS in each herd yet in each of the
lerds there were other COWS which
lad records little below the re-
ords mentioned.
10 encourage dairy interests of
he State, the State Board of Agri-
ulture has offered prizes for the
ecord cows in each of the Asso-
iations during the coming year.
'rizes of $500 for each of the
ows producing the greatest guam
lty of milk and the greatest guam
lty of butter fat in each Associa-
ion during the year has been
ffered. When the number and
uality of the cows entered in each
association is considered it is no
mall honor to secure one of these
wards.

TRUE CITIZENSHIP

Much as we dislike to admit II, there
still exists a distinct apathy toward
the war on the part Of q great many
people In various parts Of the country.
The reason for this is even deeper than
constitutional pacifism or prO-Ger-
manism based upon explainabIe blood
or mental association. The fact is
although We did not realize It until
recently, the average citizen of this
country has not had instilied in him
real responsibility in and to his gov
eminent. The extreme development Of
the democratic idea in America and
the ultra-pOlitical nature Of our form
Of government has resulted in the al
most total disappearance Of the appre-
citation by the individual Of what the
government means to him.
The changing of this condition IL
possibly the most serious problem fac
ing the United States today, outside
Of winning the war 1t involves a COM
plete REIMBURSEMENT and revitalizing of
our methods Of civic instruction. This
work must start in the schools of the
lowest grade. Many men who have
had the advantage Of collegiate in
structiOn In political economy, and
even the influence Of the discussion Of
these matters In high school debating
societies, appreciate the problem. II
must be remembered, however, that
by far the greater majority Of boys
who later make up the citizenry Of the
nation leave school after passing
through only the most elementary
grades.
The National Security League. or
ganized Mt the start Of the war as a
proganda and now devot.
Ing its entire efforts to the awakening
Of the people to a realization of the |
Of the war and the menace
Of defeat, has undertaken a nation
wide campaign on this question of true
which is worthy of atten-
tion and support. 1t has enlisted the
cooperation Of state. county and CITY |
of schools in all parts
Of the country to make daily instruc-
hon on the war part of actual school
tuition. The league has also obtained
The release to IT on full pay by the
Boards Of Trustees Of a number Of the
argest colleges and universities in the
country Of a corps Of professors who
ire to constitute National Patriotic
Faculty" to carry on this
york In the broader field. These men
will create sort Of peripatetic uni
'ersity, journeying personally into all
'arts of the country to spread this
hought Of the necessity Of awakening
he citizenship Of the country to re-
in its government. More
'ower to the National Security League
nd may the nation quickly realize the
Importance of its work!
