OBITUARY
Samuel NJ. DO1,nelE

The death of Samuel M. Donnell
last Wednesday afternoon removes
from the towns activities one of her
most active and interesting charac-
ters. A long record of service to the
community as notary public, trustee
of Newark Academy, director of the
Farmers Trust Co., member of Town
Council and Mayor, gave him an in
sight into community affairs which
coupled with his keenness of intellect
and practical common sense made him
an invaluable advisor to many who
sought counsel of him.
Born April 8, 1850, in Montgomery,
Alabama, the son of Andrew and
Rosa Donnell, he came to Newark in
early childhood with his parents who
lived for years on the farm now oc-
cupied by John Armstrong. He was
educated at the Newark Academy
Of which he later became trustee. He
engaged in the real estate and insur-
ance business, the former of which he
discontinued about year ago when
his health began to fail. He continued
his activities in the latter and in the
office of notary public until three
weeks ago when he was seized with
sudden attack, attributed to uremic
poisoning, which resulted in his
death. He was an ardent lover of
horses and dogs, and always took par
ticular pride in owning and caring
for spirited animals. He had keen
sense of humor and an unusual ap-
probation of literary and artistic
values which made him raconteur of
ability and interest.
He was for many years trustee
of the Presbyterian Church and was a
member of the Masonic order.
The funeral services took place on
Saturday afternoon, the list ami
versary of his birth, at the Presby-
terian Church, with Rev. David A.
Reed, of White Clay Creek Church
The pail bearers were
Charles B. Evans, N. M. Motherall,
Daniel Thompson, John McKeowen,
Wilbur T.-Wilson and j. E. Dough-
erty.
His widow, Mrs. Mary B. Donnell,
and two sisters, Mrs. George Marshall
of Milford, and Mrs. Manley Drennen,
If Elkton, survive.

FARMERS TEST CORN
BY RAG DOLL SYSTEM
Hope Thus to Minimize Low
termination Due to
Root Rot

"I never thought my corn was this
bad" stated J. d. Reynolds of Towns
end after testing his seed corn for
termination and disease according to
the rag doll method. Mr.. Reynolds
stated further that each rag doll
tester contained samples from enough
corn to plant an acre. Each sample
represented one ear.
In one tester all twenty samples
were bad and were discarded. In an
other sixteen samples out of twenty
did not germinate and in the remain
ing testers three to five samples out
of twenty were discarded. AS mat
ter of fact according to tests conduct
ed at the Farm Bureau office Mr..
REYNOLDS corn is terminating above
the average.
The low termination of the seed
corn this year.is due to the prevalence
of the corn root rot disease which
the Plant Pathology Department OF
Delaware College estimates is reduc-
ing the yield of corn in New Castle
County IS per cent. If there is serl-
GUS infection of the disease the corn
fails to germinate. If the infection is
slight the corn terminates weakly
bpt produces a small stock and ear.
Through the use Of the rag doll
system it is possible for every farmer
to determine and discard those ears
which will not germinate and those
which are slightly infected and germ
mate weakly.

New Cop Causes
Much Merriment

A University student familiarly
known as "Sap" Warner caused con-
siderable amusement to the students
and townsfolk last Friday when
dressed in the "cop" uniform consti-
tuting part Of the "props" for "Miss
Bob White" he acted the part of the
conscientious traffic cop in front of
Harter Hall. The performance took
place at a time when traffic to the
Havre de Grace races was particu-
larly heavy, and many peaceful mo-
torists were warned not to exceed the
speed limit. The appearance of the
real cop put an abrupt but amicable
end to the performance.

Have Narrow Escape
from Death

Raymond Fader and several other
college students, had narrow escape
Monday morning when the bus in
which they were passengers crossed
the B. & o. tracks directly in front of
fast freight.
The bus driven by Harry Null, was
returning from West Main Street,
where it had discharged passengers
from the midnight train. The safety
gates at the B. & o. were up and the
driver had no thought of danger.
Young Fader saw the fast moving
eastbound freight and shouted to
Null, who accelerated his speed and
made the crossing safely.

VESTRYMEN ELECTED
AT ST. THOMAS
P. E. CHURCH
Congregation Makes Plans for
Reception to New
Pastor

The annual election of vestrymen
held at st. Thomas P. E. Church on
Monday evening resulted in the re-
tention of the former members, A. A.
Curtis, DR.. George A. Harter, D. C.
Rose, L. K. Bowen, w. D. Dean, D.
Lee Rose, Charles Colmery, George
Dobson and George Carter. A. A.
Curtis was chosen Senior Warden and
DR.. Harter Junior Warden.
Annual reports of the various
church societies, some of which were
read, showed the financial and other
affairs of the church to be in a highly
satisfactory condition. Announcement
was made that plans for the reception
to the new pastor are under way. He
will assume charge of parish affairs
on June 1. In letter just received
from him from St. Johns, Newfound-
land, the place of his former pastor
ate, he says that while he is planning
to be here by the first of June, Mrs.
Jones and the baby will remain in
Boston with relatives until September.
A. A. Curtis and D. C. Rose were
chosen delegates, DR.. G. A. Harter
and W. D. Dean alternates to the
annual church convention which will
be held this year at Milford.
Following the congregational meet
ing the Guild held its regular monthly
social and business meeting.
Mr.. Curtis, who recently returned
from California where he had spent
the winter, and David G. Rose, who
recently returned from Florida, where
ne had spent the winter, gave short
but highly interesting talks descrip
tive of California and Florida. Both
talks were heartily applauded.
Final reports received from the re-
cent bake showed the receipts to have
been about $65. 1t was decided to
hold a strawberry festival about the
middle of June and it will probably
be held on the church lawn. The fol-
lowing festival committee was named:
Mrs. Sprogle, Mrs. Matte Dobson,
Mrs. Creswell, Mrs. Christodora,
George Dobson, William D. Dean and
d. Lee Rose. Clarence Denney will
have charge of the music.
The meeting was then turned over
to the entertainment committee for
the evening, consisting of Mrs George
Carter, Mrs. Owen and Mrs. Ernest
Sanborn. There was dancing and an
enjoyable evening was spent. Light
refreshments were served.
Rev. John Oliphant, of Vineland, N.
j., conducted the services on Sunday.
A number are planning to visit Will
mington this week to witness the
dedication of the chapel of St. Johns.

American Vulcanized
Adopts Standard Time

After week of daylight saving
which wore to frazzle the nerves
and temper of the housewives and
boarding house keepers who were
compelled to maintain double STAN
dard, the American Vulcanized Fibre
Co. on Monday morning reverted to
standard time.
Much dissatisfaction arose from the
fact that in families where workers
are employed in other industries or
where children are in school the main
tenance of this double system greatly
inconvenienced the housewives. A
vote at the plant was overwhelmingly
in favor of a return to standard time.

Nazarene Revival Notes

Faith and expectancy are increas-
ing as the time draws near for the
Suffield revival Rev. and Mrs. Suf-
field will be here, God willing, Satur-
day to begin Sunday. There will be
three services on each of the three
Sundays and every night in the week
saturday included, at 8 p. m. Not
only is Rev. Suffield an able preacher
and defender of the old time religion,
but he and his wife sing well together
and to hear them once is to want to
hear them every opportunity. A piano
is being secured for the services.
Friend, if you are sure of your stand
ing with God, if you are conscious
that sin rules your life, we urge you
to come and hear how God can deliv-
err from its pollution and power. Sin
satan, holiness, God, heaven, and hell
are facts and realities you cannot af-
ford to ignore. Be one to attend and
bring others. Throw your influence
ON the side of righteousness and help
save the home, the family, the boys
and girls from the moral impurity and
yorldiness that are eating at the
heart of society. Salvation in Christ
is their only hope. Plan to attend all
the services. Begin Sunday morning.
w. H. Parker, Pastor.
