FOREIGN WARS SECURE
PERMANENT HOME

1t. J. Allison O'Daniel Post,
Veterans of Foreign Wars have
secured permanent quarters IN
Center Hall and will hold meet
ings there on the first and third

ing will therefore be held the first
Monday in September.
Commander B. Frank Harris
will occupy the rooms and will
have them open at all times to the

have here a social center.
This organization, according tc
Commander Harris, is rapidly in

PROGRAM

gents to arrive was assigned plot
of ground 80 by 40 feet and pro-
vided with a packet of seeds. All
of these packets were uniform and
the planting was done in the same
way. AS later contingents arrived,
many of them too late for the
planting season, they were given a
share of plot already planted and
assigned to the care of portion
of it.
The men take particular pride
in the appearance of their plots
and go after the weeds with such
determination that not one dares
show it's head in that neighbor-
hood. Several of the plots have
the appearance of having been
raked with a fine toothed comb.
The yield has been heavy and
many of the men are sending
part of the produce to their homes.
Some is sent to The Commons and
some will be taken home by the
men when they go on their fur
Tough, next Friday.
The result of their labors is in
deed remarkable, especially in
view of the fact that most of these
embryo farmers are city born and
bred and are having their first ex-
perience with growing things.
Beets, celery, swiss chard, corn,
satisfy, string beans, cucumbers,

BLUE AND GOLD
MAKES GOOD SHOW
ING AT DEVENS
Makes Record for Marksman-
ship and Stands First
in Sports

Twenty-one Delaware College
students who have been taking in
tensive military training at Camp
Devens, Mass. have returned at
ter an absence of six weeks.
According to reports from the
camp the Delaware lads excelled
not only in the military activities
but in the sporting events as we'll.
In the former they were equal in
standing to any of the groups
from schools of distinctive mill
tary type, such as Pennsylvania
Military Academy and Virginia
Military Academy.
A coincidence in this connection
was that one of the officers of the
company to which the Delaware
boys were assigned was Captain
Ralph Dickinson, commandant at
Delaware College. Captain Garlic
ton Coulter, former commandant
was mess officer.
Philip Marvel, captain of the
college baseball team, was captain
of the camp team. The represen
tatives of the Blue and Cole
scored a greater number of points
in the sporting events than any
of the colleges represented. II
craftsmanship they made an envi
able record.

the infection spreads rapidly af-
ter one of the herd becomes af-
fected, it would be the part of
wisdom and of good business
policy to have the testing done at
ones own expense. It IS a boon
therefore to have such precau-
tions taken without cost to the
owners.
The chief objection made to the
ruling was that of it's apparent
lack of fairness, the dairymen
claiming that those no, selling
milk for local consumption are
not compelled to submit their
herds for test but are permitted
to ship their product to Philadel-
phia without such fornality. A
number of these objectors threat
ened to adopt the latter course
and thereby cut off Newark's local
supply. The citizens, especially
those having small children, were
very much alarmed when the
state of affairs became known
and the State authorities appeal
ed to.
Chester H. Wells, Health Com.
missioner for the State, declared
that there was no desire on the
part of the State Board to be
arbitrary; that dairymen in this
vicinity received notice of this
requirement later than some
other sections of the State ant
that he would present the situa
] tion to the State Board who woult

some time with plans for the big
event of the year-the Annual

which will be held at the College

conditions have prevailed, the bulk
of the harvest work is out of the
way, roads are better than they
have been for years, and the farm
ers of the State are more and
more imbued with the spirit of
progress. They are taking advant-
age more and more of the re-
sources which the State College
has to offer them in the way of
assistance for the betterment of
farm crops, live stock, and general
farm conditions.
In view of these facts, and ir
view of the stabilization of condi

after the demonstrating war per
iod, it is expected that RECORD
crowd will attend tomorrow.

Through the leniency Of the
State Board of Health, Newark
was saved from a serious situa-
tfon with regard to the milk sup
nIv which was in danger of being
cut off on August l. The Board
extended for couple of weeks
the time for compliance with the
recent ruling which compels all
dairymen selling milk for con-
SUMPTION within the State to
have their herds tested for tuber
CulOSiS.
Early in July the State Board of
Health made this ruling and set
August | as the date for COM
pliance, or at least for applica-
tions for such tests to be in the
hands of the State Livestock
Sanitary Board. Notice of such
action was sent to the farmers of
the State but those in this vicin-
ity received theirs only a short
time ago and had not made appi-
cation for these tests when the
time limit expired.
The local Board of Health
realizing the seriousness of the
situation did everything possible
to convince the dairymen that
such applications should be
made, explaining to those who
thought the measure drastic anc
who threatened to take their mill
: to the creamery for shipment tt
Philadelphia, that the test woult
mean very little immediate los
and a very considerable ultimate
gain.

That this means saving is, of

d EFORE the great war stopped
many of the sports in France
~ one of the queerest racing
contests was that held dur
ing the summer months in every sec
ton of the country. 1t was a
welght-carrying race, and for sew
eral years a young fellow named
Jean Ricaud had been champion, as
he never failed to defeat everybody
who entered against him. He was
a market porter, and since a small
boy had gradually become used to
carrying heavy loads upon his back,
so it was seemingly easy for him to
keep on winning. In this odd race
the contestants are furnished an
equal number of sacks containing
the same amount of heavy material.
and at 4 given signal they must
swing these sacks upon the back and
race for the goal, which is sixty
yards distant.
Jean won the championship by
supporting a weight of 500 pounds
on his shoulders and then ran the
distance of sixty yards in fifty eight
seconds. You are able to realize
how difficult it is to run race of this
kind, as the several sacks of weights
are much harder to hold in position
than one enormous dumb-bell of the
same weight would be. 1t is thought
that Jean Ricaud will be able to hold
the championship just as long as he
pleases, for he is very careful of his
health and is always in good condi-
ton for a race.
