TRUST co. TO BUY CALVES

The Farmers Trust Co. of Newark
is laying plans to bring in from Michi-
gan car load of six months old pure
bred heifer calves and distribute them
among the boys and girls of the county
between the ages Of IL and 21 years.
The Benk is carrying out this project
comparatively with State Club Leader
Theodore T. Martin and County Agent
r. o. Bausman.
1t is the plan to bring in calves that
are not only pure breds, but calves that
are backed by high records on both the
sire and dams side. The calves will be
bred similar to the cows that were i'm
ported into the county in March and
will be the type that will form the
foundation for pure bred herd Six
months old calves of this class will cost
from SIS to $10O with transportation
cost of $6 or 81. The calves will be put
out to the boys and girls at cost.
1t is the plan that the boy own his
own calf and the bank will arrange this
for him. The bank will take his note
with security and the boy can pay for
the calf as conditions permit.
This car load of calves will be shipped
in the latter part of June. Boys and
girls who are interested in this project
will please get IN touch with Treasurer
H. E. Vinsinger; State Club Leader T.
T. Martin; or County Agent R. o.
Bausman at once. These persons can
be 'phoned or written to at Newark

The shipyards have been drawing
very heavily on the boiler makers
trade, as boiler makers are used not
only for making boilers, but for rivet-
ing, chipping and caulking and as ship
filters. With the increase in the order
for stee! ships. there will be a further
demand for boiler makers, and at the
present time we hardly know where to
turn for them in any number, 1t is
necessary for the protection of the
country in this critical time that every
machinist and boiler maker should en-.
roll in the U. s. Public Service and Re-
serve if he wishes to be patriotic to his
country. There are important war
plants in the State of Delaware at
present, that are seriously slowed down
on account of the lack of help. These
plants should be kept going at full ca
pacity if We are to win this world war,
and the Importance Of securing these
men is so great that it becomes second

France. Every raan who has the spirit
of patriotism at heart should be willing
to- be transferred FROM the less essential
work by the request of the Government
when it means 80 much to the success
of our arms. We ask every machinist
and boiler maker who is not engaged in
shipyard work, to enroll in the Reserve.
It is understood that you have the op-
ton of accepting or refusing any posi-
ton offerered you and we wish to lay

quest you to take position unless it is

Acts IV:36 1.-The son of consolation, a

The proper name of this saint was
Joses; but the surname Barnabas, which
means son of consolation. was given
him by the Apostles for his prophetic
gifts, his skill in comforting the troubled
conscience. or on account of his kind
ness and charity to the poor. He is
supposed to be one of the seventy dis
ciples chosen by our Saviour, and he
proved his love and zeal in Jesus SER
vice by selling all his lands. and giving
the money to the poor. He was of the
tribe of Levi. and is called by St. Luke
an early father, an Apostle himself.
He first introduced St. Paul, after his
conversion, to the Apostles, and con-
vinced them of its sincerity; and he
afterward was a companion and COLA
borer with St. Paul in many places.
He suffered martyrdom at Salamis,
city in his native island of Cyprus, being
stoned to death by the Jews. st.
Barnabas has left behind him an epistle
