err, sidewalks, and all improve
ments. We build home and sell
it to good reliable people who have
positions and who have been thor
oughly investigated.

ment down and the remainder is
arranged in monthly payments of
one per cent per month of the bal
ance owing on the contract. The

NEW BELLS MADE
TO SOUND LIKE OLD

We have often heard of the
beautiful silver tone of very old
church bells in Europe and some
have even been bought at a great
price and brought to America. 1t
was supposed that after a bell had
rung regularly for one or two CEN
turies some mysterious quality
was developed, and the beautiful
tone could be acquired in no other
way. An ingenious American
studied the problem, however, and
decided that the silver tone was
simply due to the fact that the
clapper of the bell had worn itself
and the bell by continued striking
until the two fit closely together
and that the shape of the metal
and nothing else determined the
tone. He began to make bells by
casting them so that the clapper
and the bell fit each other proper
ly, and the mellow silver tone was
obtained at once. Today we are
manufacturing such bells and
selling them abroad.-Boys' Life.

THEIR FAITH

To keep the faith = you say they
went to France.
All, that is true; but not the
faith you hold.
They tossed their lives into the
scale of chance,
And fought the fight our fathers
fought of old.
Not for a vision nor fantastic
dream,
Nor with a promise on their
frm-set lips,
But just for this-that our own
soul supreme,
Our country's veal, be with
them on the ships.
And those who sleep beneath the
Flemish sod
Met Death as heroes, not ito
save a race,
But that a nation, in the name of
God,
Fear not it's foes, but meet them
face to face.

BIG ATHLETIC AND
TRACK MEET TO
MARK FAIR OPENING
Hundreds Expected to Com
pete for State Champion
ship Honors

Newark athletes and others in
this vicinity will have an oppor-
tunity during the State Fair to
compete for State championship
honors on the opening day of the
Fair, September 6, when a big
track and field meet will be held
under the auspices of the Com
munity Service. 1t had been plan
ned previously to hold a number
of elimination meets prior to the
championship contests but the
baseball season, occupying the at
tention of the majority of the
local athletes, caused this plan to
be discarded.
According to Harry Ray, di
rector of the physical department
of Community Service, number
of entries from various sources
have already been received and
more are expected. All entries
must be made before September l
Mr.. Ray announced recently.
Prizes will be given to those
capturing first, second and third
place in the various events. The
prizes will consist of cups in some
instances and in others of medals.
1t is the intention of the Com
munity Service to place the
trophies on exhibition in several
of Wilmington's leading stores.
The huge success of the inter-
national track and field meet held
a little more than a year ago
when foreigners representing
more than % different nationali-
ties competed in the athletic
events points to an even more sue
cessful meet this year. Officials
for the most part are being select
ed by the Community Service from
among the sport followers Of Will
mington. An effort is being made
to secure the most capable men
in the city's athletic field. An
nouncement of the names of the
officials will be made shortly.
While hundreds are expected to
take part in the state champion
ship events at the state fair, &C
cording to Mr.. Ray, of the Com
munity Service, there will be no
confusion in handling the en-
trants.

TRANSFORMING
WASTED ENERGY IN
TOLIGHT AND HEAT

A great wealth of energy equal
to ten times the horsepower gen.
Grated by Niagara Falls goes to
waste on our farms. The Govern
ment has been experimenting in a
special station near Washington
in buring the straw, corn stalks
and other fodder which is COM
monty thrown away. By using a
little retort built for the purpose
farmer can transform this
waste product into enough gas to
light and heat his home and have
energy enough besides to run his
farm machinery. If all the farm
ers of the country can be persuad-
ed to burn up their refuge in this
way the energy saved will add
about S2,000,000,O00 to the wealth
of the country every year.
