When it comes to the republican
nomination for congress, it looks more
like Leftenant Warren E. Greene than
it does editor Hitchcock, especially if

Green fails to land on the woolsack.

Rather than a short evening, spent
in listening to rabbit stories, at $75
an evening to the rabbit story teller,
the teachers undoubtedly prefer ade.

the impression any one may have
gotten as to the place. Remember the
picnic will be at Romeo instead of

SCHOOL NOTES

We take this opportunity to make
a few commencement remarks. The
honor graduates have been selected
on the basis of their excellence in
scholarship and daportment during the
four years of high school work. The
first honor goes to Winnie Gordon as
valedictorian of the class. The fol-
lowing are the six chosen to take
part in contest for which a medal win
be awarded on commencement night:
Mildred Manning, 1928; Elizabeth
Hooker, 9O.56; Helen Veal, 1897; Es-
telle McAteer, 88.41; Sarah DeHon,
$40; Lucille Gissendaner, 87.05.
The average given are based on the
grades in the different subjects for
the past three years and a half, in
Guiding those of the last semester.
The commencement events arrang-
ed for to date are the promotion exer-
cises of the eighth grade on May
tenth, at 10 a. m. The Baccalaureate
sermon on June sixth at II a. M, and
the High school graduation exercises
the evening Of June seventh. These
exercises will all be held in the Tenn
pie Theater and the patrons and
friends are cordially invited to attend.
One or two other events are being
planned but it is necessary to defer
announcement of them for the pres
ent.
With the session rapidly drawing to
a close we wish to remind parents
that any absence from school during
study periods as well as recitations
is hurtful to progress and promotion.
SO we trust that requests for pupils
to leave before the closing hour of the
day will not be made unless there is
some imperative need for it.

Marion did herself proud on last
Tuesday.
She placed herself in the progress.
sive column, and is prepared to take
up the line of march towards the
great destiny. which tourists, business
men and seers all agree awaits our
greatly favored state.
The big majority for bonds cast in
Tuesdays election means that Ma
rion's link of the Dixie Highway and
the county's link OF state road No. 5
will be built, and thereafter maintain
ed by the State Road Department
nuder the supervision of the Federal
Highway Bureau. The county at pres.
ent has over 225 miles OF hard surfac.
ed highways and the carrying Of the
bond issue means that the initial step
has been taken looking to the building
of a highway sustem Of more per.
manent nature and one less expensive
and less difficult to maintain.
The majority vote in Ocala exceeded
expectation. It was known that Ocala
would go strongAfer bonds but no one
expected majority 50 large. Every
body worked hard for the issue. Il
was remarkable instance Of what
can be accomplished by team work.
The big vote in Ocala augurs well for
the success OF the city bond issue for
extension of the permanent street paw
ing to be held on May 18th. with
the passage of the county bond issue
TO the Dixie Highway and state Road
No. and the bright outlook for the
city issue, the future OF Ocala and
Marion county holds wonderful prom
Use.
The Marion County Board Of Trade
played a large part in the campaign
which resulted so successfully At tho
polls Tuesday The campaign com.
mittee Of the Board Of Trade received
splendid cooperation all over the
county and the result is due IN great
measure to this pulling together.

but one is as follows:

SERVICE FLAG OF ocALA CLUB

The Ocala woman's club, of which
Mrs. Gary, one of our vice presidents,
is president, is alive and wide awake
all the time. We have already on this
page mentioned the fact that they
have planted memorial drive for
their service flag. If other clubs in
the Florida federation have done like
wise they have not setn an account Of
it for the page. Now comes a descrip-
ton of the driveway from one of the
Ocala members. We trust it will
serve as an inspiration to others.
The woman's club of Ocala has
planted to the memory Of its soldiers
water oaks and magnolias on both
sides of sixty-foot driveway. with a
row of magnolias down the center.
The northern end of the driveway
broadens and makes circle, trees be-
ing planted on both the outside and
inside. Between the magnolias will
be planted the red variety Of hybiscus
and between the oaks red oleander,

FARMERS DAY AUGUST 5TH

Farmers Day at the Delaware Col
lege Experimental Farm will be held this
year on Thursday, August 9th. Dean
and Director C. A. McCue is planning
a program that should appeal to
farmers all over the Delmarvia PENN
sula. While this event is carried out
in the form of en- annual picnic its
object is to bring farmers of the state
into actual contact with the expert
mental work being carried on by the
College in their behalf and the oppor-
tunity of becoming acquainted with the
experiment station staff who will be
present to explain the results of the
experiments to date.
Requests have come to the College
from Sussex county to arrange for q
special train on the Delaware road that
will make it possible for the people
from down state to spend more time at
the College Farm, which is not possible
under present train schedules and con-
nections.
Everyone in the state who is interest
ed in the work of their State College
along agricultural lines should keep
August 5th as an open date and visit
the College Farm. The slogan will be
"Meet your friends at the College
Farm August 5th and don't forget'to
tell all. your neighbors.

At the school election on last Satur-

tion since the new school law went into
effect. George L. Medill, of Newark;
Eupene H. Shallcross, of Middlett eva;
and Percy E. Strickland, of Richardson
Park. were reelected members of the
County Boerd of Education without op-
position. These members were origi-
nally appointed by Governor Townsend
and are favorable to the code. The fact
that they were not opposed indicates
that this county at least is satisfied with
the code and with the administration Of
the county board.

THE DENTAL SITUATION

The dental situation in Delaware is
one that demands immediate attention.
We are speaking now for the need for
dental work among the school children
of the state This is not condition
peculiar to Delaware. 1t is one that is
met with everywhere. However, the
percentage of children requiring dental
attention is somewhat larger here than
in most of the other states.
Up to the present time there has
been very little educational or corrective
work done in the line of mouth hygiene
| in Delaware. There are free clinics es-
tablished throughout the state for the
treatment of practically every other
defect found in children while clinics for
the treatment Of teeth have so far been
neglected. This is due to number OF
causes chief among which is the lack OF
necessary funds
Mouth hygiene is subject about
which much has been written and said.
Few people, however. realize the i'm
portance of it or know how it affects
child, mentally, morally and physically.
No child can be expected to do the
amount Of brain work of which he Is
capable if he is continually receiving
supply of blood to his brain which is
laden with poisonous material or toxins.
This is what happens when a case OF in
fection Of the gums (Gingivitis) de-
velops. There are little pockets Of pus
and bacteria or germs formed at the
roots of the teeth from which toxic or
poisonous material is constantly taken
up by the blood and carried to all parts
Of the body. These may be deposited
in the joints giving rise to rheumatism,
or they may be deposited in the heart
giving rise to heart disease. These are
only two of the places that secondary
infection may take place.
