ROCK INTRODUCES
SEVEN GIRL STARS
Vaudeville Headliner Making
Sure That He Will Not Be
Left Alone Soon.

William Rock, who like George White.
another vaudeville headliner has deyel-
oped young women into variety stars as
partners In turn only to have them
trickle out OF their hands as individual
stars. has evidently decided there's
safety in numbers. At the Palace yes
terday, instead OF his usual lone assist
ant, he appeared with seven girls to
look after, apparently on the theory that
where all are so good one of them won't
shine with particular brifliance and get
the notion she can succeed without sweet
William.
Mr.. Rock. who produced and staged
the musical tabloid. had carefully
schooied the young women in songs
dance and pattet. and all of them
showed they had responded sympathetic
cally to the treatment. They were Ethel
Broadhurst, Helen Ely. Louise Dale,
Alys Church, Gladys James, Phoebe King
and mystery girl" and one would like
to point out that one of them stood
head and shoulders above the others, only
1t might cause dlssension in the family,
and besides 1t wouldn't be true
They were all worthy members of the
procession of girl stars whom Mr.. Rock
has busied In starting on their way.
The act was diverting and II wasn't
hard to believe that the elaborate set
ting had cost the thousands of dollars
which the press agent quoted fuently
without once referring to the books.
In addition Wilkie Bard is held over

Strickland home is one of the finest

everything about the building modern

The minimum school year has been
increased to eight months. Directors
should insist that the teacher con-
duct her school from 9 a. m. to 4 p.
m. The noon period should be short
ened only during the winter months
and in that case school may close
at $50 p m. The teacher should be
in the school house not later than
half hour before the opening OF
school.
1t might be well to add here that
all pupils must attend school in the
district in which they reside unless
the school is closed or they reside
more than one and one half miles
from the home school and are closer
to the school they wish to attend
Shifting of pupils works hardship
upon the teachers and creates con-
fusion. 1t should be discouraged and
township boards should insist on the
attendance of all pupils in the school
of the district in which they reside.

COUNTY FAIR SEPT. 2, 5, 4, AND 5.

Secretary E. w. Williams is book
ing large list Of free acts and novel
attractions for the annual county fair
to be held on the beautiful grounds
this year on September 2, 8, 4, and 3.
From all indications this years fair
will be by far the best ever held in
the county. Farmers everywhere are
showing a lively interest, and bigger
and better exhibits Of stock and grain
will be brought to the fair this year.
We doubt IL there is another county
in the state that has as fine and well
equipped fair ground as Delaware.
During recent years buildings have
been erected on the grounds which
makes 1t possible for farmers to prop
erly house their stock while exhibit
ing it. Other improvements are to be
made from time to time, until Della
ware County will have the best fair
grounds in the state. In future is
sues we will announce the attractions
booked for the fair.
