Newark an Ice Cream Town

Newark is a great place to live. No
one will dispute that, except perhaps
some Wilmington native. 1t has
many advantages. Really in the
language of the Public Sale Ad,
they are too numerous to mention.
Railroad facilities unequalled, health
conditions unsurpassed; mosquitoes
unknown; manufacturing plants
among the worlds leaders; education
almost Grecian; the young trained
according to SPARTAN methods of ex-
posure and forbearance at the High
School and the University is the
States nearest approach to Athens.
A Plato, Sophocles or Socrates can
be seen anytime. Then music, two
brass bands that can play Unusual in
rural town., society, all kinds,
games and sports, outdoor and indoor
including sewing circles and card
clubs, golf and crap, not to mention
horse racing and New Century Club
Oh, it's great town! A Town Coun-
ell, watering fountain as we'll as a
Hose Company. Then a Board OF
Trade, though dead, the town boasts
of one just the same. Loafers, a few
around the corners who can spit ano

Wilmington Dollar
Day, August 3

There is hardly a family on the
Peninsula to which the announcement
just made by the Mercantile Section
of the Wilmington Chamber Of Com
merce, that the Fall Dollar Day will
be held on Wednesday, August 3rd,
will not bring appreciative anticipa-
ton. Wilmington merchants promise
to excel anything they ever have at
tempted in value-giving on this occa-
sion, and experience has taught
Peninsula shoppers that the bargains
available on Dollar Day are real,
honest and unusual. In the nine years
since these special bargain events
have been semi-annual affairs in Will
mington, there never has been one
single complaint registered by any
purchaser about either quality OF
merchandise, prices or service. This
is wonderful record to claim, but it
literally is true.
It is anticipated that, following the
custom which has obtained for sew
eral years, shoppers from the PENN
sula will make up motor or trair
parties to visit Wilmington, where
there are plenty of good restaurants
amusements and bargains.-Adv.

Crop Items

Wheat threshing in this iocall'y
has brought a bit of hope TO the
farmers. The yield is turning out
better than was anticipated Down IN

the Weld was far below normal. on
some of the fine Kent farms, the yield
was as low as to lo pushels'
Locally, the yields are reported TO De

bushels.
Of course the price OF Sl.oo 10

$500 mark of last year.
The hay crop is unusually snort,
however, due to the early cold spell
and the terrific drought.
Corn just now is exceptionally hne
and shows good promise for a large
yield.
Fewer potatoes are being planted
than usual.

Not for Her

An old dame at a railway station
asked the porter where she could get
her ticket. The man pointed in the
direction of the ticket office. "You

The Crowded District Court.

Representative Dyer hopes to get
action at the present session Of Con-
gress on the bill providing two Aaddi.
tional judges for the District Supreme
Court. He plans to obtain, If possible,
a hearing before the judiciary com.
mittee, at which the conditions in that
court will be set forth, and believes
that when the committee learns the
situation it will promptly report the
measure, which the House has on q
previous occasion passed.
The least inquiry into the conditions
In the District Supreme Court should
cause conviction that the enlargement
of the bench is imperatively necessary.
There is probably no other court in the
United States with such q crowded
calendar and with so many cases Of
vital importance pending. There is, in
deed. no other court in which both
local and federal cases are tried. All
other federal courts confine themselves
strictly to United States cases, just as
all other local courts are limited to
local issues.
The figures that were recently given
in The Star regarding the congestion
Of the court calendar leave no doubt
whatever Of the urgency Of this situa-
ton. Representative Dyer will per-
form a most valuable service if he
can secure action by the judiciary COM
mittee and by the House. Whether
the Senate then acts in concurrence is
another matter. 1t is to be expected,
however, that in the case Of such
obvious need the Senate will not fur
ther refuse to comply with the demand
for an enlargement that makes for
speedier justice and greater public
safety.

Our Japanese Visitors.

The members Of the Japanese diet
now visiting in this country are meet

are returning a visit paid by members
OF the American Congress to Japan
last year, and who returned with a
lively sense Of appreciation of the well
come they had received.
IT is the time Of times for excl.ang-
ing such courtesies. The world is
still affected by the upset Of the great
war, and unrest and suspicion are
widespread. A sort Of industry for
sowing distrust among nations seems
to have been set up.
Japan and America have been friends
so long and friends so true it is some.
what surprising to find them pitted
against each other In world specula-
tion about the future; as likely to go to
war over improving opportunities for
advancement.
In some quarters the speculation
proceeds from a mistaken and short.
sighted selfishness. Those indulging
lin 1t seem to feel that they would
benefit from an armed clash between
America and Japan.
But what nation could benefit? A
war between the two powerful coun,
tries could not be localized. 1t would
spread, beyond doubt. and the whole
world might be drawn in. And is n
conceivable that any nation would
emerge the gamer by second world.

The Chicago Platform,

The discord on Capitol Hill gives
emphasis to this question: What is the
mandate Congress is called upon to
obey?
The Congress now in session was
elected on a platform written twelve
months ago. The men who fashioned
that deliverance were chosen from
delegates to a large and representa-
tive convention. The majority Of them
were well known to their party and to
the country. After wrestling with the
different problems presented. they
united on a declaration Of principles
and reported to the convention.
The convention debated the report,
and then adopted it.
The nominee, Of the convention &C.
cepted the platform, and discussed it in
detail in his canvass. He pledged him
self to it in all Of his utteranees.
BY far and away the largest majority
ever recorded in this country, the peo-
pie at the polls indorsed the work Of
that convention-elected its candidate
for President, and ratified the platform
on which he had stood.
That candidate took office in March,
called Congress together IN extra .ses-

The Budget Meeting.

Tomorrow afternoon the President,
the director Of the budget. the heads
of the various departments and bu-
reaus and their principal lieutenants
are. for the first time in the history
of the nation, to sit down together Tor
q discussion of ways and means for
= reducing government expenditure. The
session will be, in effect. a meeting OF
the President. the board Of directors
and the departmental chiefs Of great
business corporation. 1t having been
discovered that that corporation has
reached a point in it's history where
retrenchment becomes imperative-a
point where overhead and operating
expenses threaten to force the price OF
its product above what the public Is
willing to pay-the normal processes
are to be followed. The financial con-
dition Of the company is to be explain.
ed to the meeting. the necessity for
. economy in the conducting Of the
, several departments emphasized. Each
department head will be asked for a
statement Of how and to what extent
he can reduce expenses. Plain. COM
mon.or. garden business methods will
be the order Of the day.
Gen. Dawes, who. with the Presi-
dent. is the motivating spirit behind
this excellent innovation in long-estab-
lished processes Of administrative gov
ernment, has a habit Of speaking to
the point. In connection with the
meeting he says: We've got to get
these people working together. How
would a corporation as big as this gov
ernment operate? l hope it would not
be like the government has been oper-
ating. This is a business affair Ind it
ought to be done in a business Way."
Those are the facts in nutshell and
the task Of fitting his plans to those
facts has been achieved. In business,
given a condition of affairs which calls
for strict economy, one does not put
of the process of effecting economies
any longer than is absolutely neces-
sary. The purpose Of the director :, to
make the maximum of his budget for
the fiscal year ending June 80. 1922,
less than the minimum amount pro-
vided for in the existing congressional
appropriations, is a splendid evidence
Of his qualifications for the task which
has been placed in his hands. The
first steps by which he proposes to put
that purpose into effect demonstrate
that readiness and ability to blaze new
trails by which the new goal may
alone be reached.

Gov. Cox.

Gov. Cox still has his eye on the gun.
He is a young man. He is a man of

Of politics. He owns and directs two
prosperous newspapers. He resides in
one Of the most important states in
thA Union. He likes politics. and until

field. This winning of the presidential
nomination at San Francisco against
the odds that confronted him-both
the Wilsonites and the Bryanites work
ed in opposition to him-stamped him
