Approximately 500 farm bureau men,
bers were reported at the monthly
meeting of the Executive Committee of
the New Castle County Farm Bureau
held last Saturday in the Security
Trust & Safe Deposit Building at Will
mington. The community committee
chairmen were present at the meeting
and definite plans were laid through
which the Committee Is confident the
goal of 800 members for 1920 will be
attained. As the farm bureau is work.
ing on a $67O budget. it is imperative
that the membership goal be some-
where near reached in order that the
work for 1920 may not be curtailed.
Although the date at which the men,
bership campaign was to terminate is
past yet the Executive Committee con-
sidered it wise to extend the period un-
til January 81, at which time all re-
ports must be in and the campaign will
definitely close.
The bull calf given by Mr.. J. l.
Dayett to the person who secured the
largest number of members was award
ed to Mr.. Philip Pierson, Of Hockessin,
who secured 43 members prior to De-
cember II. The northern membership
team forged slightly ahead Of their
rivals below the canal during the men,
bership campaign. The southern team,
true to the agreement. is preparing to
hold dinner for the team of the north.

Power-House Burned

The power-house of the Delco Elec-
trio Light Company, of Cecilto1. !. was
burned last Friday evening about 6
o'clock. The service just before the
fire occurred was unusually fine, when
suddenly the lights went out and the
town was in the most intense darkness
except at the powerhouse, which was
sending up puff after puff of flame.
There was no one in the building at
that moment, and the supposition is
that the fire was caused by back-iring
of the engines, igniting oil on the floor.
1t was at first Supposed that the plant
was entirely destroyed, but after an
examination it was found that the
engines are still in good condition and
will be at once put into operating order.

new CENTURY CLUB MEETING

On Tuesday evening of this week the
ladies of the Middletown New Century
Club held an open meeting, to which
the public had been most cordially in
vited. DR.. ]. H. Odell. director of the
Service Citizens of Delaware, gave q
highly interesting address. He said
that Democracy, which is such deep
subject, really resolves itself into three
human values, association, religion and
education. After touching lightly upon
the first two values, he brought to his
hearers most forcibly the need of edu-
cation, especially for Delaware. The
fact that Delaware stands thirty ninth
in the education of its children makes
this value so vital. The School Code is
the very best law that has been passed
in any State in the union. And every
State is watching to see what will be
accomplished by this law. If there are
flaws in the Code, DR.. Odell says they
may be corrected by amendments by
our next Legislature. His explanation
of why taxation was put into the hands
of the county, instead of individual
districts, was very satisfactory. It is
to be regretted that every man who is
at all interested in education did not
hear this instructive address.
Mrs. F. B. Watkins is chairman of
the day for next Tuesday afternoon.
DR.. Spahr will talk to the club. Also
Mrs. Ethel Ball Staniar will give a
short talk on Motor Car Service. Mrs.
Stanlar has had most wonderful ex-
perience in this line of work, and will
have something Of real interest to tell
the ladies'.

Rev. Thomas Elected Bishop

Unwavering support from the laity,
with gradual digressions by the clergy
from other candidates until the fourth
ballot, when sufficient votes were
recorded, featured the election at Dover
on Wednesday of Rt. Rev. Nathaniel
S. Thomas, missionary bishop of Wy
oming, as the new head If the Prot
estant Episcopal diocese of Delaware,
to succeed Bishop Frederick J. Kins-
man, who resigned last year and later
embraced the Roman Catholic faith.
A persistent feeling was evident
among both clergy and laity that
Bishop Thomas might decline the call
because OF his known devotion for his
present work. It was the sense of
those who expressed this thought that
only q deep regard for duty would in
f1uence him to come to Delaware, mas
much as his present field is largely the
development of his personal achieve
ments.
