S3,99O in revenue to the district.

cation department turns over a

in giving to the people the bes-
that is to be had. They saw in thi!
exposition an opportunity to eN

~and a remarkable musician, will
have charge of the singing. Mrs.
Keen will sing a solo. All are

Mayor Asked To Investigate
Cooperative Buying

Mayor E. B. Frazer has had
numerous inquiries from towns
people who desire to participate in
the sale of government food stuffs.
He has been trying to secure in
formation as to how the towns may
handle this matter and has signi-
fed his willingness to appoint a
committee to carry it through.

possible for towns to secure goods

Automobile Thieves
Arrested Here

At the request of Maryland au-
thorities, Officer Apsley on Thurs
day arrested two young men charg-
ed with the theft of an automobile
from H. E. Dodge of Washington,
D. c.
The car was described as a Hud-
son bearing Maryland and D. G..
licenses. It had been observed
passing through Newark and when
the request came from the Sheriff's
office at Elkton, a machine was
secured and the thieves pursued.
They were overtaken near Lum-
brook where they had stopped,
evidently to change the license
tags for the car then bore a New
Jersey license. When arrested
they denied having done this but
Officer Apsley found the discarded
tags nearby.
The Sheriff of Cecil County was
notified of the arrest and came for
the prisoners who accompanied
him without protest. The car was
identified by Mr.. Dodge who ar
rived on Friday morning.

SURPLUS ARMY FOOD
BY PARCEL POST
Sale is Scheduled to Begi,
August lS

While no official notice has been
received by Postmaster Bowen
with regard to the matter the sale
of surplus army food direct to con-
sumers through postmasters will
begin August 18, the War Depart
ment announced on Saturday.
Prices will range from % cents
for a one-pound can of corned beef
to 1920 for a six-pound can of
roast beef in meat and from 7
cents for a small can of baked
beans to 49 cents for large can
of stringless beans, depending on
size.
To the basic prices will be added
the cost of shipping the food by
express from zone storage houses
to postoffices, and the regular pos
tai rate for carrying the food from
postoffice to consumer. The post
age rate will be one cent a pound
in most cases.
The minimum amount of food
that will be sold is one can. There
is no maximum. Prices will be far
below those charged in the open
market, the War Department
promised.
Under the parcel post the Post
office Department assumes all re-
sponsibility for shipment and de-
livery of food. Postmasters will
order the meat and vegetables di.
rect from the War Department in
cases or cartons. They will re.
ceive or fill orders from individ.
uals sending out the packages by
parcel post. Consumers will pay
freight and post charges.
I In the city of Wilmington where
sales of government food stuffs
have been conducted on the muni
cipal plan for distribution, patrons
have been greatly pleased with the
quality of the food and have
bought freely. Bacon was in grea
demand as we'll as canned vege
tables and was considered by al
odds the greatest bargain. 36 cent
a pound was the price charged
while the market price is nearl,
double this amount.

St. Johns Sunday School
Goes To Augustine Beach

The weather man evidently dis
approves of picnics. He chose to
send driving rain on the day set
by the Methodist and Presbyter-
ians who were compelled to post
pone their date. He was none too
generous on the later date but they
managed to have splendid time.
st. Johns chose today for their
annual picnic to Augustine Beach
and were uncertain whether or not
it would be fit to go. They took
the chance of it's clearing, how
ever, and many assembled this
saorning and left about 1880.

Pageant to be Given
Tonight at Old College
Summer School Students Participate
Will Give in Costume Pictorial
History OF the War

Tonight at 7.15, the classes in
Community Civics and Sociology
at the Summer School will present
a colorful pageant, "To Arms for
Liberty" in front of Old College
Hall.
This pageant given under the
direction of Miss Lotta Clark who
is instructor in the above mention
ed subjects, is a drama of the
world war. 1t depicts the anguish
of Belgium under the menace of
the brutal destroyer, the seeming
hopelessness of her position and
the coming of the Allies one by one
to her rescue with France in the
lead. Appropriate patriotic music
and dialogue accompany the en-
trance of each of these.
The entrance of America, con-
fidently promised by Britain, since
Americans are "Sons of the self
same race, and blood of the self
same clam; and by Italy because
they are sons of her gallant son,
Columbus, is heralded by Faith,
Hope, and Charity, bringing an
( abundance for the war torn coun-
tries.
While the chorus sings "Under
the Stars and Stripes" an avenue
pf peace will be formed beneath
the lindens, trumpeters will open
the way, and the pageant charac-
ters representing the Allies will
march through. The spectators
will fall into line and the process
eion singing "Our Delaware" will
proceed to Wolf Hall where an ad-
press will be made by Everett C.
ohnson, Secretary of the State
Program who will discuss Della
ware After the War"
This pageant is planned by Miss
lark to be given with the utmost
implicitly as to stage setting,
husic, and costume so that this or
similar one, may be given in any
own or hamlet without undue
york or strain on the resources of
he community. 1t has been work.
