The formations at their present

this trouble and are drilling again.
The activity at these wells again
swings the interest Of the oil fans
to the Rush Springs district While
these wells we're fishing, the interest
in Grady county centered at the
Cannon test near Bradley and the
English Drilling company south of
about eight miles, and at
Tuttle where the Tuttle Oil and
Gas company is working at around
1900 to 1900 feet. This gives Grady
seven active tests for oil and

Cremona, Lombardy, Italy, in l6l4'
and died in 1877, ninety-three years
of age. His early violin was made
like his master Amati's and signed
with his name. In 1910 he first began

twenty years he only made few. The
year 1890 was one Of transition in ms
career. but still he preserved the
tradition of the Amatis school ana his
violins of this period are commonly
called Stradivarlus Amatis. His finest
Instruments were constructed from
100 TO 1925; during the subsequent
five years to 1870 the workmanship OF
thnu is not of so high an order; ana
IN 1870, or even little earlier the
imnrpss of Stradivam is almost entire

2 Postmaster Bowen
Appeals to Public
With Christmas Fast Ap.
preaching People are
Asked to Cooperate
With Postoffice

"The postoffice is coming to it's
busiest season and needs the help of
everyone" so spoke Postmaster
Bowen, this morning, when spoken to
regarding local Christmas mail which
is already beginning to show up.
Acting as Santa Claus to 100000
900 people is the job of Uncle Sam
every holiday season and although
the country is passing through a
crisis the mail seems to be heavier
this year than ever. Postmaster
Bowen has noticed already that many
of the local people Are using the
mails for Christmas purposes and
he is in hopes that everyone will see
fit to mail all articles as soon as pos
sible, and help to keep the rush, as
the days draw nearer to December
25, down to a minimum.
Postmaster General William H.
Hays has already sent notice to Mr..
Bowen requesting him to get the peo-
pie of this vicinity interested in the
matter of getting parcels in the mail
at an early date. Mr.. Hays has re-
quested the local postmaster to try
and enlist the aid Of the school
children and have the week of De
cember 5, as "Parcel Mailing Week."
The matter Of writing the names
and addresses on envelopes plainly is
another matter which the postal au.
thorities at Washington have pointed
out to Postmaster Bowen as i'm.
portant. Every year many hours
and also many packages and letters
are lost or delayed due to the care
lessness of persons in their writing.
Postmaster Bowen states that hi
will greatly appreciate the co-opera
ton of everyone In Newark ant
vicinity toward making this a perfec
Christmas as far as the local post
Office is concerned.

Interesting Story of Practical
Work Being Done
at University

Descendants of the blunt, practical,
matter-of-fact Anglo-Saxons, Della
wareans are little given to the erec-
ton of costly monuments. Their serv-
ice is of a more practical type-that
which gives warm, helping hand to
the living rather than cold marble
shaft to the dead.
Such a type of service immeasur-
able in practical value, did they rem
der when in response to a request of
the Federal Government they agreed
to make room in their State Univer-
sity for the rehabilitation Of soldiers,
sailors and marines disabled in the
World War. The nature and scope of
the work accomplished is well known
to most Delawareans who are justly
proud of these valiant ex-service men
working quietly and diligently at the
humdrum tasks of peace.
And the tasks are not easy even fol
those whose opportunities have beer
greater and who are not compelled

accounted for by the facts apparent
ly: The unusual size Of the gradual
ing class of last June, and the econ
omic depression throughout the State.
That the latter has been a significant
factor is indicated by the number of
applications received, before the ses-
sion opened, for work or other form
of financial assistance. These appli-
cations were nearly twice as many in
number as in previous years.
"The gain Of 8 at the Women's
College was small as compared with
the gain of as last year over the
previous year, but was sufficient to
fill the quarters at present available
for women approximately to their
capacity. The gain in women as
compared with the loss in men is
probably to be explained upon econo-
mic grounds. Those most immediate
ly available as bread winners had to
stay at home"

OFFICER STOPS
OFFENDERS
Fined for Operating Car With
out License

Quite little excitement was caused
by what was at first thought to be an
attempt Of two Acal boys to steal the
automobile of a Mr.. Kemp, of Port
ers. This occurred on Main Street
last Friday night and Officer Tyrens
seeing the attempt to take the car
fired his revolver in the air and one
of the men ran away while the other
stopped and was arrested, while a
warrant was issued for the other
culprit.
When the case was called before
Squire Lovett, the charge of larceny
as bailee was withdrawn by Mr..
Kemp and each of the offenders was
fined $40 and costs for operating a
motor vehicle without license.
