All eyes soon focused on her instead of on the busy little teacher. The word trio" was being explained to the children and volunteers were asked to stand and use the word in sentence.

Delaware Flax Industry

A report from the United States
Bureau of Standards, says: Better
linen can be produced from the flax
grown in Delaware and Maryland
than in any foreign country" This
statement was based on a study of the
product grown in this State and is
especially significant.
Officials of the Chesapeake Flax &
Linen Corporation have announced
that spinning mill in Ireland will be
dismantled and shipped to Smyrna
Delaware. Operators from ireland
will also be brought over to teach the
art of spinning and weaving.
1t is stated that flax can be made
a most profitable crop for the farmer
and there is a possibility that Della
ware will add linen to it's already long
list of manufactured products

GENERAL ASSEMBLY
FAILS TO AGREE ON
BUDGET FOR SCHOOLS
Will Re-Convene on Monday

VIII Ke-OOnVene on MONDAY
In compliance with resolution the
General Assembly met at Dover on
Monday to consider the Budget for
Public Schools for the next two years.
All the varied interests of the State
were represented but there seemed
a lack of confidence in the success of
the plan as conceived and projected
under the new law. Those responsible
for the conception are finding diff
Guilty in it's projection. Words,
theories, explanations confuse but in
the brass-tack figures, murder will
out" Lobby, committee, and confer
ence were of no avail. No agreement
could be reached. Senator Palmer
tried his complete repeater again but
merely suggestive of power and not
with any serious intent.
The result in a word was that a
Special Committee from the two
houses was appointed to go over the
budget and report to the Assembly
called to re-convene on Monday next.
This report will probably be such that
the Assembly can agree upon accord
ing to it's conception of the financial
ability of the State to pay.

GOLF COURSE.
LAYOUT COMPLETED
Eighteen Hole Course Longer
Than Wilmington Club

Wilfred Reid, who has the contract
for laying out the golf course for the
Newark Country Club, has completed
his work. The layout is for the COM
pete IS holes. The course will be
transferred to paper at once. When
complete, blue prints will be made
showing the location of each tee and
green with the various distances and
sizes Of traps.
From rough estimate, it appears
the total length of the full IL hole
course will be about $500 yards, which
is longer than the course Of the Will
mington Country Club.
AS the work progresses, it is more
and more conceded that the local pro-
Ject will become not only community
pride but center for outdoor recrea-
ton and social life for the whole Sec
ton. Certainly it is going to draw
the attention of many Whining
tonians.
Those directly in charge of the work
are anxious that it be a community
affair. If this can be effected, it Will
certainly have distinct influence on
the whole town.

FIRE. DESTROYS
VALUABLE PROPERTY
Suspect lncendiarism in Elliott
Fire Tuesday Morning

Fire, supposed to be Of incendiary
origin, early yesterday morning de-
stroyed the dwelling house and barn
on the property of John Elliott, north
east of Newark, together withs five
horses, 45 tons of baled hay and
other farm products. The property
was occupied by the family of John
McCleary who awoke shortly after
midnight to find the barn in flames.
Neighbors had been aroused by the
reflection from the burning building
and rendered every assistance possi-
BILE. The Aetna Fire Company was
summoned but the fire had gained
such headway before they arrived
that there was no hope of saving
either house or barn, since no ade-
quate water supply was available.
The blaze was visible for miles
around and hundreds from Newark
and vicinity visited the scene Of the
disaster and aided in the salvage of
furniture and other personal property
with such success that neary every
thing in the dwelling house was saved.
The origin of the fire is unknown,
although suspicious circumstances
seem to indicate that it was of in
cendiary origin. The cattle, it is
said, had been loosed and apparently
driven out of the barn. One of the
horses, judging from the position >ot
it's body, had also been loosed anc
managed to get as far as the door
way. With the exception of the horses
practically all of the livestock wa!
saved.
The loss incurred by the destruction
of the buildings, estimated at abou
$4,000, is partially covered by in
surance. The personal loss to tn
McCleary family who have lived ther
only year, is considerable.
