Country Club

Country Clubs, Golf Courses,
Community Play Grounds are
assets to any town. They at,

man, and professional man have
conre to the conclusion that sue

can be increased by more out
door play. Golf today is no
longer the game of the leisure
class. It's the game of the busy
man. It's greatest enthusiasts
are business men, lawyers, lab
oratory men, Office clerks, and
mechanics. 1t means health,
pleasure and increased success
energy. So the town that has a
well regulated Golf Course IS
considered good resident dis

The Newark Club is such an
idea. If successful, and there is
no reason why it should not be,
it will attract home seekers.
Real Estate values will be en-
HANGED. If the Community idea,
whole town affair, can be
effected, the Newark Country

get acquainted, the parents with the

THE NEWARK HIGH
SCHOOL STARTS
DRIVE FOR FUNDS

The Newark High School is start
ing a fund drive on May 10Th. Funds
obtained are to be used for much
needed athletic equipment. .
Through the courtesy of the Curtis
Publishing Company the school has
been given the opportunity to earn
this money and earn it in a business
like way. All the school is asked to
do is to secure a certain NUMBER OF
readers for the Ladies Home Journal
This publication has long stood a
leader in all movements for better
schools, better clubs and better citl-
zens. It's many pages of wholesome
and interesting fiction-its splendid
editorials-its practical household
suggestions and many other features
combine to make it magazine that
will fill a useful place IN every home.
A years subscription for this
magazine can be secured for just
about the price of picture show Tor
the family. But, instead of only one
evenings entertainment, it will sup.
ply a whole years entertainment and
instruction as well.
For each reader secured in this
drive the school will receive com
mission to be applied toward thei,
athletic fund.
Superintendent Owens and the
teachers of the High School highly
endorse the plan. By giving eacf
subscriber full value for their invest
ment, they hope to secure hearty re

beware of the wrath of a patient
man." said Dryden. And it is good
warning, especially if that man has
been acquainted with your counsel,
and knows your methods-and es-
pecially beware if he loves Truth,
hates knavery and secret diplomacy.
Theft, either of Money or Good
Name are violent offenses, punishable
by process of law. But the offender
of these is not half so contemplate as
the Mental Thief. There are two
two kinds-the Kleptomaniac who
steals every little idea and suggestion
and pans it off as his own, when
simple fairness and sufficient honor
would be his by leading in its execu-
ton. Then there is the malicious type
who is a Raffles Crook. He would
steal money just as uickly except he
is coward-afraid he can't get away
with it. But a name, an idea, he is
subtle. By commission from a report,
by sighting suggestion, he reflects
credit from it's rightful place to HIM
self. Brought at bay he is mental

E Always Welcome

Public School children OF
Rural New Castle County had
great day at their University on
Friday. And it is theirs. The
Government and the State sup
port it for them. Private wealth
contributes to it for them. Board
of Trustees, Alumni and friends
give time and thought to 1t tor
them. It's theirs, and it was with
low they came. Many Of them
had never seen the Institution.
Wide eyed with wonder and
amazement, they looked and the
spark that inspires giowed. Was
it possible that they, by work
back home, could ever come here
some day? A day out OF doors
on Frazer Field at their UNI,
versity! Wonderful. There will
be good lessons this week back
in the little one-room schools.
One teacher told us that that one
dav has settled a College educa-
ton for one of her boys. The
bow nor his father had ever
sensed the opportunity" They
had never dreamed that 1t was
theirs. Strange, perhaps, but
they simply did not know that
the State made such chance pos
sible for them.
That boy will come to the
State University because OF that
day and event.
A bit unfortunate was the
misunderstanding in arranging
for the, courtesy of using the
grounds. A bit unfortunate that
comment was made of the rude
ness displayed. Especially SC
when it was no particular ones
fault. No one came in the splrl'
of invasion. Every one there
thought arrangements had beer
made with the proper custo
dams. None regret the ATTAIN
more than the Public Schoo
officers and any breach OF etl
ouette, discourtesy or behavior
that offended was in perfect IN
nocence. The arrangements hat
been innocently made with PEG
ple who were neither responsible
nor in proper authority.
It was a great day for tn
University, too. No Field Nee
nor athletic event ever arouse'
the interest in the Institution a
did this day. The Universlt
would serve we'll if it immediate

DIVER BEGINS
WORK ON BRIDGE
Makes Several Descents This Afternoon
New Piles Arrive for FalsewOrk
So0n to Be Built.

The diving to decide about the removal
of the Sunken bridgework in the Connect
cut river was begun this afternoon off
large raft attached to the scow which is
being used by the American Bridge Co. in
its removal work.
The diver, f. H. Smith of Buxton, Me-,
went down several times this afternoon,
the first time being of short duration due
to trouble with the oxygen supply. Oxy-
gen is pumped to him from a large oxy
gen machine installed on the raft and run
by a hand pump, necessitating the use of
two mems brawny arms to run it.
The diver with his suit and steel helmet
with the old scow in the background
irresiStibly reminds an onlooker of similar
scenes in the motion pictures.
Spectators, of whom there were many,
watched the divers course by means of
the bubbles of oxygen rising. This after
noon his attention is especially centered
on the removal of the iron work which
rises IL feet above the water in mid
stream and which is fastened by rivets
to the framework beneath the surface
As soon as the steel work is removed
the new falsework can be begun, as the
new piles have arrived and are ready for
use. saE
