tonlshing results, and number of

NEW CENTURY
CLUB TO HAVE
OPEN MEETING
NEXT WEEK
Art Committee Urges Photo
graphs Of Local Industries
For Picture Library


lied the first Century Club meet
ing of the New Year held yester-
day afternoon at the Club House.
Mrs. j. Pearce Cam, State
Chairman of Arts and Crafts was
in charge of the meeting. She sug-
gested that good photographs of
the Newark industries be made
and added to the circulating pic
ture library. She called attention
to the fact that SO per cent of all
the fibre produced is manufactured
in the State of Delaware and that
two of the largest fibre manufac-
turing plants are located in New
ark. Additional industries include
a large paper mill, a cannery, a
machine shop and factory for
making fireworks.
Few realize, she said, that New
ark is anything other than a col
lege town. In addition, however,
to the fortunate circumstance of
having here, the State State Col
lege, Newark has the distinction of
being also the most prosperous
and important industrial centre
outside of the city of Wilmington.
Photographs of college buildings
and of college activities are in
cluded in the Circulating Picture
Library and those of Newark in
dustries would make an interest
ing addition to the collection.
A report of the Curtain Fund"
started previous to the holidays
showed a total of S36 to be ex-
pended for new curtains.
The program included an instru-
mental solo, ''Two Arabesques,"
De Busy by Mrs. William E. Hol-
ton.
Two vocal solos by Miss Eleanor
Duffy, "Uuit d. Etoiles," De Busy
and "By the Waters of Minneton-
ka" by Lieurance.
Miss Florence Hubbard, art in
structor at the Women's College
presented the interesting subjest
of Industrial Art in the United
States Today" She emphasized
particularly the textile industries
and told of her visit to the New
York exhibition in November. She
gave also a demonstration of Bat
tic work and explained in detail
this method of color reproduction
on textiles.
In the absence of Miss Ethel
! PenneWill Brown who was de-
tanned on account of illness, Mrs.
Frank Sheppard of Wilmington
was induced to read a delightful
paper presented recently before
the Wilmington Club on "Yule-
tide"
Next week the club will hold an
open meeting under the auspices of
the civics committee who have Sc
cured as speakers Mrs. Ina Per-
kins, Supervision of Child Welfare,
and Miss Lockwood, supervisor of
Nurses.
A social hour will follow.

Deed for School
Site Passes to
Board of Ed
uCatiOn
Architects Hold Conference
With Board Saturday
Children'R Return to Work
Monday, After Enjoy
sr.. .r--.,, -rs able Vacation

The deed for the Albert Lewis
property on South Academy street,
the site of the new school build
ing passed to the local Board of
Education yesterday and plans for
the building are under consider
alton by them. A conference be-
tween the school architests and the
local board was held on Saturday.
This is the third set of plans sub
mitted and contains many features
that are acceptable to the Board.
A conference with the School Aux
ihary Committee will be held some
time this week with a view to de-
termining what aid will be given.
After the generous vacation
granted by the State Board of
Education, teachers and pupils of
the public schools resumed work
on Monday morning. The wealth
err man did his best to make the
holidays pleasant. An abundance
of snow for coasting and of ice
for skating were furnished for
those whom Santa Claus had re-
memered with sled or skates at
Christmas time, anc for those
whose thrift insured the safe hold
over of these articles from previ-
Gus years.
The lawn at "The Knoll" DR..
S. G.. MitchelPs residence, was the
favorite coasting ground for the
younger boys and girls, while
equality Hill' and the hills around
Nonantum Heights furnished sport
for the older boys and girls.
The prevalence of mumps which
had affected the attendance previ-
Gus to the holiday season, pre-
vented several pupils from return
ing but the enrolment was excep-
tionally large.
At the close of the session on
Monday afternoon, Superintendent
Morris called for a teachers con-
ference when minor matters of
policy were discussed.
The subject of Red Cross men,
bership for 1920 was discussed and
canvass is to be made this week
by committees appointed for that
purpose. 1t had been hoped to es-
tablish a record for 100 per cent
membership with funds secured as
result of the play" Where Love
is, There God is Also," dramatized
and presented by the Eighth Grade
just before the holidays. A num-
ber of other activities on the same
night made the result somewhat
disappointing and while the de-
termination to make the 100 per
cent membership is still strong,
it will be necessary to raise funds
by personal subscription or other
wise.
Rules governing the interclass
--e@--tate for the cup donated by last
years class were also discussed
and some of the rules definitely
determined.

ADMIRAL GooDRICH's PLAN
soaests Direct Tax to Stop National Extravagance and Liquidate War
 Debt

pomfret and Putnam people VIII pe interested in a communications rum Admiral Caspar F. Goodrich, formerly . eor,mer resident of Pomfret, sug- costing plan for liquidating the war debt and at the same time bringing the weight of public opinion against oxt,avaeance on the part of the na- tienal government. The eommuhieac z ton was published in a magazine or national circulation and was as tol- lows:
 Sir.--There can be little doubt that the constantly increasing demand that .sthe poyernnent' operate or control this or that industry with the attend ant saving of costs and wages IS due to the belief on the part of the work inp man that the necessary funds come not out of his pocket, but out or that of the rich. Of course this IS not true; he bears unwittingly his own share of the H. C. L.
 One way to stop this wild govern mental extravagance IS to bring the incidence of taxation to every man and woman in the country. l advo- cate most strongly that personal tax of S10 per annum be levied on each such individual and to be continued until our national debt is absolutely extinguished. If this be done, Thom- as. Richard and Henry will take an in- terest in the economical administra- ton of affairs, which in their ignor- ance, is today wholly lacking. l can imagine no more effective method of enforcing this vitally important edu- cation.

 DISRUPTS OLD 5th DISTRICT
Teacher Rushes Barrage and Attacks Sharp
 Shooters Hand to Hand
Ambrose Morarty Recalls That Boys Were Boys Nearly
 Half Century Ago

They visited many of the buildings, but were particularly interested in the big Harris -Corliss engine which oper- ated all the machinery in Machinery Hall. but there was one other exhibit that interested them, perhaps more than anything else, and that was a chocolate grinding machine which some candy manufacturer had in op- eration. The odor of that hot ehoco- late so sharpened their appetites that they simply had to leave the room and hunt up some more buns, but buns are not sirloin steak and the boys thoughts began to turn homeward.
 Probably neither of them could tell at this late day who first suggested Putnam as the next city te visit, but the vote to return was unanimous, and on Friday morning of the week in which they had left Putnam they dropped off the boat train at four O. clock. It was little early to go home. so they paraded up and down Elm street and gazed at that human skeleton which a certain physician, who no longer resides in Putnam, was reputed to have drying on the fiat roof os the ell to his house. but they finally separated, each going to his own home.
 Lucius lived on Buck street, the ether explorer lived on Church street, and he skulked around to the back door of his home at about six o'clock, His mother was glad to see him and he was more than glad to learn that his father was away from home and would not return until the next day. The boy rather expected something to hap pen when his father did return, but all that was said was, "You look as if .you lived high while you were away, The quotation is absolutely correct and I know the boy to whom it was said
 Now, boys, the lessons to be drawa from these two incidents are Not to attempt to lick your teacher unless you are willing to have the story printed fifty years after having eom- pleted the job, and when you decide to travel have your own cash and then you can live on something besides buns.

Tale of Wanderlust

am going to relate another little incident that happened in September, 1876, and thus forestall any person who might present you with copy of the first week in that month. There were two boys concerned Tn this af- fair. one of them being Lucius Hall, above referred to, but l decline to mention the name of the other one. They were anxious to travel and see the world, but hadn't much money, Tn fact Lucius possessed all the cash that there was in this expedition, the sum total being $30. They thought this would take them somewhere and they did not worry about the getting back part, so off they started on the boat train the first Tuesday night in September, 1876, bound for New York, having failed, however, sto in- form their parents of their intended trip.
 They awoke in the morning in New York and were as hungry as most boys would have been, but they missed fa- ther's call of Boys, get up" and mothers good breakfast, but wander ed up Desbroses street until they found a bakery, where the treasurer stocked up the party with buns.
 After a hearty breakfast of buns and cold water. Lucius purchased tickets for Philadelphia and the trav- elers started for the Centennial Ex- position. Upon arriving in Philadel- phia they sauntered over to Fair mount Park, meeting several mem bers of Companies F and c, 3rd Regt. c. N. G., which companies were from Putnam, but the two small boys were not anxious to see any Putnam people so they hurriedly made for the turn stile at the exposition entrance and passed in.

WEATHER AND CROP CONDITIONS
IN TENNESSEE
For the Week Ending July 10, 1929

Beneficial showers occurred pret-
ty generally. In some localities
more rain is needed, while in few
spots it was too wet On the whole
the week was favorable. Good prog
ress was made by all crops and farm
work is generally we'll up. A large
percentage of the corn is late, but
it is nearly all in good condition and
growing we'll. TasseIing and silking
are noted in many fields. Cotton is
blooming pretty generally, though a
good percentage of this crop is also
late. Cotton looks well almost with
out exception and has improved
very much in the last three weeks.
While the nights were little cool
for it this week, the moisture and
cultural conditions were excellent.
Good progress was made in
threshing wheat. Tobacco, white
potatoes, sweet potatoes, peanuts,
peas and beans for hay, all did well.
The conditions were favorable for
saving hay and work was active in
this line. Garden crops, peaches
and apples did well. The peach crop
is scattered, but in some places it is
good,

LIGHT RATES ADVANCE


The reason your light bills must
be higher now than they were in
1914:
I will take the first man, Mr.
Charlie Darwin, on our books. In
June 1914 his light bill was s1.OO
and he paid it. In June 1920 his bill
was $1.00 and he paid it. In June
1914 that dollar would buy, at the
mines 621s bushels of coal. In June
1920 that dollar would buy, at the
mines. and fft en-seventeenths bu.
of coal
In June 1914 that dollar would hire
man for 10k hours to fire the boil
ers.' In June 1920 that dollar would
hire a man to fire the boilers for 3N
hours.
These two items cover something
like 80 per cent. Of the expenses of
the plant. All other items have ris-
en- in the same proportion.
The above mentioned three firemen
receive each $500 per month for
their services. II anyone can d.
rect me to capable fireman at q
less price. shall be glad to engage
his services and will greatly appre-
ciate the favor.
II each patron of the light had
paid their bill for June and taken
advantage OF the discount, which a
large per cent. of them did, the re-
ceipts would have been $S73.72.
Expenses for fuel and freight -$1O36 80
Labor 485. 100
