brewers are making the hop-growing
district of central New York rich
There is a greater demand for hops,
the fiavoring ingredient OF beer than
ever before, and the greatest crop per
acre in the history of the industry is
now maturing. It will run more than
1000 pounds to the acre, and 81
pound is offered freely.
A hop crop costs 25 cts pound TO
produce, so that an acre will net about
$1,000. Some growers have 100 to
200 acres, and the big growers LOOK
for a profit for the season of from
100000 to 100000 each.

Spirited Ball Game and Other

Committees

As per the order of the commit
tee, the best Of weather was fur
nished to supplement the other
superlatives that went to make up
the Methodist Sunday School pic
mic held at Cooch's Bridge last
Saturday.
1t was the sort of picnic young
sters plan in their moments Of
vivid imagination and Sunday
School teachers attempt to realize
with many misgivings. From 10
O'Clock until 2 conveyances were
kept busy taking the picknickers
and the impedimenta to the spac-
ious lawn Of the Cooch property
kindly loaned for the occasion by
Mr.. and Mrs. Lynch, the occupants.
The Continental Band played at
intervals on the knoll and Prof. G..
B. Edwards, the leader, delighted
the assemblage with several cornet
solos.
Everybody had good time
even the inevitable luckless lad who
fell, or was pushed, into the creek
and who spent half-tearful, half
blissful half hour sitting on a
friendly log, "drying out" in the
hot sun; and the impetuOus young
lady whose gaze was riveted on
four mounds of pink ice cream
which had just been put upon her
plate and who backed off from the
can and fell over an inconsiderate
bench, landing in the midst of
three or four picnic baskets.
The red ants, the "chiggers," the
woody worms, and other bugs and
varmints which ordinarily attend
an outdoor picnic and lend a
peculiar and disagreeable flavor to
many an otherwise toothsome
morsel, were conspicuous by their
absence-frightened off no doubt
by the news that the soldiers who
had helped to put other "var.

who brought groaning baskets filled

UNIFORMS FOR
CONTINENTAL BAND
ARRIVE THIS WEEK
Worn First to Serenade Newly
Married Member of
Organization

The uniforms for the Conti-
mental Band arrived on Monday
and were promptly donned by the
members, who proceeded immedi-
ately to celebrate by serenading a
newly-married member, Joseph B.
Lloyd, and his bride.
The uniforms are especially good
looking, ditto the members of the
band, therefore the tout ensemble
is very pleasing to the eye as their
music is to the ear. As described
by member of the sister organiza-
ton, the Continental Mandolin
Club, "the suits are a beautiful
shade of French gray with trim
mings of black braid and a touch
Of gold"
The caps are natty affairs, fitted
with electric batteries and a small
bulb which furnishes each bands
man with light for night marches,
ETC., the latter abbreviation accord
ing to Chill" Tierney, covering a
multitude of uses.
The band attracted a great deal
Of attention and excited mild riot
when the members appeared on the
streets in marching order on their
way to senerade their benedict
member, at Lumbrook.
The band has been engaged to
play at the races to be held in Will
mington on July 3-5 and has a
number of engagements for the
summer.
Newark is particularly fortunate
in having two bands of such con-
siderable numbers. Church and
other affairs held during the winter
have been well supplied with
music, both organizations having
been especially liberal in such
cases.
Many cOmmendatory remarks
have been heard concerning the
progress made by the newer organ
ization and the tireless devotion of
their leader, Prof G. B. Edwards,
of Wilmington.

Continental Band Serenades
Popular Co-Worker

William Spence, affectionately
called "Daddy" Spence by his
numerous friends, was rendered a
delightful surprise LAST Friday
evening in honor OF his 10th birth
day anniversary. The affair was
arranged by his co-workers in the
machine room at the Continental
Fibre Company, where he is very
popular.
Mr.. and Mrs. T. II. Gregg with
whom Mr.. and Mrs. Spence make
their home, were taken into the
secret and aided the Continental
force in making the affair a success.
"Daddy" Spence was invited by
one of his associates to take an au-
tomobile ride. During his absence
his numerous friends accompanied
by the Continental Band assembled
at the Gregg home to greet him
upon his return. He was taken
completely by surprise.
AS a token Of the esteem in
which he is held, he was presented
with an umbrella on behalf Of his
co-workers. The band rendered him
serenade and fine treat was
given to them and to the assembled
friends.

SCHOOL TAX RATE is
MATERIALLY REDUCED
School Board Working on Re-
vision Due to Apportion-
ment of State Funds

Superintendent Of Schools,
Phineas Morris, attended a meet
ing in Dover last Saturday of
Boards of Education recently
elected. The matter of apportion-
ing the $4,000 provided for in
the amended code was discussed.
About $4,000 of that sum, Mr..
Morris states will be available for
Newark schools.
An informal meeting of the
School Board was held on Monday
evening to discuss revision Of the
budget. According 70 calculations
by the Levy Court the rate for
this year was fixed at S3c on the
500, &c less than last years rate.
This is evidently a miscalculation
since the rate determined by
the Board at a pubic meeting held
during the winter exceeded $1.O0.
1t is thought that the State appor-
tionment Of additional funds will
lower the stated rate about 2 mills.
b. l.. Richards, it is understood,
has resigned from the Board. His
successor according to law will be
named by the State Board of Edu-
cation.

AMERICAN LEGION
TO CHANGE NIGHT
OF MEETING
Will Elect Delegates to State
Convention Early in July

At the regular meeting of LIT. j.
Allison O'Daniel Post No. 6, Amer
lean Legion, held last Thursday
evening at the Armory, a commit
tee was appointed to revise the
constitution and bylaws. This re-
vision will provide for a change of
meeting date from Thursday to
Tuesday evening and will make
other minor changes. The commit
tee appointed by Commander G.. A.
Short consists of Captain J. w.
Ramsey, Fred Strickland and Lee
Il. Lewis.
The. change of meeting date was
made necessary by conflict with
lodge meetings and other affairs
which invariably take place the last
of the week. At the next meeting
on the second Tuesday in July
delegates to the state convention
will be elected and full attend
ance is expected.
Four new members were taken in
and a committee, of which Pusey
Morrison is chairman, was appoint
ed to compile data concerning the
service record of men in this COM
munity for the state historian.
Commander Short made an urgent
plea for cooperation Of all ex-
service men in this work.
In the absence of Frank Mote,
the Legion secretary, who is now
travelling for the A. Jedel Corpora
ton, Lee Il. Lewis was appointed
to take over the duties of that
office.
