Popular Young Matron
Passes Away Tuesday

A pail of gloom was cast over
the whole town on Tuesday morn
ing when news came of the death
at Delaware Hospital of Mrs.
Stella T. Vogt, wife of Edward H.
Vogt, and daughter of Rebecca,
and the late James Crossan.
Mrs. Vogt had a severe attack
of intestinal grip at Christmas
time from which she had recovered
sufficiently to be out several weeks
ago. She soon suffered an attack,
superinduced by this illness and
after unavailing attempts to re-
store her health, the attendant
physician advised an operation.
She was taken to Delaware Hospi-
tai last Sunday. The operation
was unsuccessful, however, and
she passed away at II o'clock
Tuesday morning.
Funeral services will be held at
her late home on South College
Avenue on Friday afternoon at
2 o'clock and private interment
made in the Methodi cemetery.
Mrs. Vogt was born near New
ark 81 years ago and lived in this
vicinity all of her life. She was
educated in the Newark schools
and at Goldey College. She mar
ried Joseph Thomas, son of Mr..
and Mrs. Jacob Thomas. Two
children, Richard aged and
Mary, aged A years, were born of
this marriage. Mr.. Thomas died
several years ago.
In June of last year Mrs.
Thomas married Edward H. Vogt,
who together with the two child
rem and the mother, Mrs. Rebecca
Crossan survive.
Mrs. Vogt was a young woman
of charming personality, beloved
of wide cercle of friends. A
model wife, daughter, and mother,
she won the admiration, and re-
spect of everyone with whom she
was associated in any way.

Portable School
House Secured bv
Local Board
Will Relieve Crowded Condition,
in Lower Grades
Changes Made in High School
Also to Secure Tempo
rary Relief

At recent meeting of the Board
of Education it was decided to
purchase a one-room portable
building to relieve the crowded
conditions in the primary depart
ment. This has been ordered from
a firm in Champagne, Illinois and
will probably arrive in three or
four weeks. It's erection will oc-
cupy only a week or so. It will
likely be placed near the pres
ent building and will doubtless be
occupied by the children of the
second grade half of whom, owing
to crowded conditions are now on
part time. This type of building
has been used with success in Will
mington and elsewhere.
The room formerly used as an
office in the high school building
has been combined with the ad-
joining room and used for recita-
tions. The office is now up stairs.
No reply has yet been received
from the State Board, to the letter
sent last week, reporting the tax
payers action with regard to dis
solution of the special district.
Plans for the new school build
ing, it is rumored, are nearly COM
plete, and will be submitted to the
local board at an early date.
The last of the series of inter-
class debates-that between the
Juniors and Seniors will be held
next Friday afternoon.

STORM DELAYS
TOWNS USUAL SAT-
URDAY SUPPLIES
Meat and Bread Were Scarce
Articles AS Result of
Severe Storm

Ihe heavy rain on Friday, fol-
lowed by the snowstorm of that
night cut Newark off completely
from communication by road with
wilmington and Elkton. AS a
consequence the usual Saturday
supplies from Wilmington failed
to reach here.
The meat houses started their
trucks on Friday afternoon but
they were unable on account of
the floods to get beyond Christiana.
Snow drifts and floods conspired
on Saturday>to prevent their get
ting through and as consequence
the meat dealers had to depend
solely on the stock on hand. Some
of them sold out entirely before
Saturday night and others were
able to supply all demands until
a late hour.
Only the local bread supply
was available and this was soon
exhausted. Flour of all kinds was
in great demand and from the a.
mount of prepared ,buckwheat and
pancake mixtures sold, more than
the usual number of households
feasted on "hot cakes and lasses"
on Sunday morning. One resident
interviewed during the afternoon
admitted having eaten round
dozen.
In common with other towns de-
pendent upon Wilmington for light
and power, Newark was in dark
ness all of Friday night and the
excellence of the light service or
dinarily, needed no better testi-
monial than the fact that few
householders were prepared for
the emergency. There was blind
,groping for candles whose location
was but dimly remembered or for
an oil lamp which might or might
not contain oil. Some were warn
ed by the increasing dimness of
the lights early in the evening and
like the wise virgins provided
themselves with oil. Those with
out oil were in the majority, how
ever, and many who are wont to
take good lighting service for
granted, went grumblingly to bed
or sought some friendly neighbor's
house wherein a light could be
seen.
Plants whose machinery was
power-driven started up a trifie
late on Saturday morning, by
which time the Wilmingtonians by
herculean efforts had succeeded in
putting their flooded generating
plant into operation.
To add to the general discom.
fort the towns water supply rar
low for the first time in years, ano
uptown residents were without
water for several hours. So un
usual was this circumstance that
many housholders thought the
pipes were frozen and after anna
teur efforts to thaw them out, sent
S. o. S. calls to the local plum
bers who spent busy but un
profitable hour or so explaining
. the situation.

SELL YOUR CITY

(kC ELL San Antonio to its own people,
This is a slogan that has been adopted by the real estate
board Of this Texas city.
A The police department, fremen, employees of the street railway
system, chauheurs, newsboys, hotel employees and everyone who
comes in contact with anyone are to be schooled in facts and figures
about the city.
Special pamphlets containing information abost the city are to
he prepared for distribution to visitors through hotels, stores and
other establishments.
The theory on which the campaign is being conducted is that a
man who is proud Of his city and its people is a better and happier
citizen. II the city is worth while living in there are a hundred facts
about it worth knowing. To know these facts increases his pride.
The more one knows about the cold town the better he likes it and
the better he likes it the more value he il to it and il to him.
If you can sell a town to its own people you can sell it to out
siders. This is a basic principle Of salesmanship. Unless the sales
man himself thoroughly believes in the article he is selling he will not
be a success. SO if San Antonio IA succeed in selling itself to its own
people it should sci. itself to newcomers.
There is a lesson in this for Albuquerque.

D. WEATHERLY.

4. WEATHERLY, economic expert of the department of jus
u. tice, has stated that approximately 49, 100000 will be added
to the nations cost of living for the year beginning with Sep
TENDER.
He bases his prediction on the understanding that the interstate
commerce commission will be forced to increase freight rates approx
imately two billion dollars. A two-bilion dollar increase, according
to this expert, is magnifed about AS times in the cost Of living
Why
every jobber, every retailer, every man who handles a single product
that human beings buy will add his percentage of profit on top of the
increase in freight rates that he will pay.
He will pass ON to the consumer, not only the increased freight
rate that is necessary for the railroads to live, but an additional
amount of profit. which Weatherly says is 4s times as much as the
freight increase itself. Thus, the consumers, instead of paying two
billion more for food, clothing and other necessities OF life that have
70 he transported by rail- win pay nine billion six hundred million
increase.
OF course merchants and middlemen always figure their profit on
the gross cost Of doing business and consequently when costs 20 up
TO them, they go still higher to the consumer in order that the relative
rate OF profit to the %niddlemen and merchants shall be kept al the
same ratio.
