The Oakley herald. [volume] (Oakley, Idaho) 1908-1961, 1922-01-06

Countless multitudes prepare
the material for every advance,
but the largest multitude of all
has prepared for the next adj
vance, which ought to abolish
every thought of individual glo-
ny, and cure all childish impa-
thence with the apparent slow
ness of progress. The short
successes that can be gained in
a brief time and without diff
Guilty, are not worth much. The
tree that lives for centuries has
as much rootage underground
as it has branches in the air.
The work is for all who see it;
it's benefit is for all who share
it; talk of personal glory is inn
possible, is out of place, in the
movement for a better social
order.
The Oakley herald. [volume] (Oakley, Idaho) 1908-1961, 1922-01-06

Mr. Ford forgets that there are
many kinds of selfishness and many
kinds of individual glory. There is
a malevolent selfishness which dis
regards the rights of others, and
there is an enlightened, altruistic
selfishness which recognizes that
one cannot serve his own interest t.
best advantage without making a
worthwhile contribution to the gem
eral welfare.
The Oakley herald. [volume] (Oakley, Idaho) 1908-1961, 1922-01-06

We hold no brief for selfishness,
as the term is usually understood.
There is no product of civilization
which a narrow selfishness would
hesitate to destroy. Such a selfish
ness. has no doubt, in the course Of
ages, sent many just causes to per-
manent defeat. There may even be
selfishness so crude that it would
invent methods of warfare capable Of
killing every man alive; and some
nation, rather than submit to its en-
emies, might even use these methods
to the limit and blot out the entire
human race in one catastrophe.
That would be bad enough, but
the abolition of all thought of indi-
vidual glory might lead to something
still worse. Abolish all thought of
individual glory and you abolish at
the same time al motives for doing
anything worth while For whatev-
er of the spirit of service Their is IL
the world is due to the enlightened
selfishness of those who know that
the greatest pleasure comes from ad-
ding to the common good Destroy
all thought of individual glory, AMI
you will eventually destroy the race
itself; but in that case the race will
have degenerated to such an extent
that the final extinction will not be
! calamity.
The Oakley herald. [volume] (Oakley, Idaho) 1908-1961, 1922-01-06

If Mr.. Ford thinks that individual
glory can be satisfied only at the ex-
pense of others, he is badly mista
ken. The greatest individual glory
is won by men whgo make a contri-
button to the general good which IS
equal to the contribution of or 5
or 10 or SO or 100 or 1000 or
1 100000 ordinary men.
The Oakley herald. [volume] (Oakley, Idaho) 1908-1961, 1922-01-06

Mr.. Ford might deny it, but
doubtless it satisfies his personal
pride and adds to his individual glo-
ny to sell so many fiiyvers at so
low a price. He seeks individual
glory, also, by writing articles to the
effect that individual glory should be
abolished

GROCERIES DROP
Not in Price, But in Bulk
Fulton Store Scene

The biggest drop in groceries that
has taken place in Newark since way
before the war took place at the Full
ton store on Monday, when they
dropped to the bottom. This is not
a free advertisement but an item of
news, for the drop came close to in
flicting serious injury to Mr.. Fulton
and not to his pocketbook at that.
A row of the large shelves in the
store built to display canned goods
gave way and several hundred cans
bottles and jars came crashing to
the floor. Had the accident happened
a short time before it did Mr.. Fulton
would have been caught in the "land-
slide" and would, without a doubt
have been injured by the falling cans

Army or Navy is all that is needed
to bring one into the Post and it is
hoped of the local Post that every
man having a discharge of this ma.
ture will step up and become the mem.
ber of one of the best organizations
in the world, which is doing all in it's
power to help ex-soldiers and sailors
The local officers point out that il
was not necessary for a man to gc
over sea to earn the right to become
a member of the Legion, but tha-
those who were retained in this coun
try are also eligible and the legior
includes all ranks from private t.
general.
The officers of the 1t. J. A. O'Dan

Trust Company, will answer all ques
tions pertaining to the Post and will
accept all applications.
Commander Dougherty has issuet
the following statement.
"The preamble of the American LIE

Local Teachers
Get Appointments
Majority Of This Years Instructors
Will Return Several
Vacancies to Fill

The local Board of Education has
announced the appointment of teach
ers for the Newark schools for the
next term. There are several vacan-
cies which must be filled but the local
Board is of the opinion that there will
be sufficient number of applicants
to fill these vacancies in satisfac-
tory manner.
Harry Mcdonald, who was the
teacher of agriculture has resigned
his position to return to college. His
place will be filled by Joseph D. Will
son, graduate from the University
of Delaware. Mr.. Mcdonald also had
charge Of the athletics at the High
School and Mr.. Wilson will take over
this branch Of the work.
Probably the hardest vacancy that
the Board will have to fill will be that
Of Miss Edith Case, who was teacher
Of Home Economics. Miss Case de-
veloped this department very we'll and
in the State contests this year two
of her pupils won prizes of S1O0 due
to their excellent work. Miss Cases
mother is not in the best of health
and this is the cause of her resigna.

Miss Gladys Chadsey, who came tt
the local High School at the middle
of last term as Health Instructor has
resigned and returned to her home il
New York. 1t is understood thai
Miss Chadsey can receive more money
in that State than here. At thu
present time she is located at thu
Summer House, Bath Beach, Long
Island, N. Y, where she is tutoring.
Miss Ruth MacMurray, formerly
teacher of the Fourth Grade here ha.

Miss Margaret Purple, teacher o:
science in the High School, has re

pected to return.
The new colored school being larger
than the old one will necessitate thu
appointment of an additional teacher
at this school.
The following appointments hav,
already been made:

Summer School Opened
Monday With Largest
Registration
over SUI Students Break All Records for Tbi. R.noh
First Lecture Saturday Night
Radio Service in Wolf Hall for St,d.,.s

win the largest attendance in
its history, the Summer School at
the University of Delaware opened
on Monday. 1t was early Monday
morning when the students began to
arrive and one would have thought
that Newark's bus men certainly did
a thriving business had they seen bus
load after load of the students COM
ing from the railroad station, and
they are still coming, and the regis
tration will go we'll over the three
hundred mark from all indications.
The interest taken in this Summer
School and the record enrolment is
laid in a big part to the work COM
pleted during the year by the SUPER
visors. County superintendent, su-
pervisors and teachers all seem anx-
ious to add points to their educational
credit and therefore the large enroll
ment.
Last year the enrolment was so
large that it was found that the din
ing facilities at the Women's College
would not accommodate the students
and as this years enrolment is even
larger than last year the same con-
dition exists and Old College is again
being used for a dining room.
The first lecture of the year will
be delivered in Wolf Hall on Thurs
day night by DR.. Frank P. Graves
Commissioner of Education, State OF
New York. His subject will be: "The
Use and Abuse of Intelligence Tests
The lecture course this year will be

Many Improvements
Along Main Street
Business Houses Among Finest in
State-More Stores
Are Needed

The latest of improvements are
those being made to the restaurant
and dwelling of Walter Powell. It is
understood that this Improvement is
being made for the purpose of making
suitable location for the Atlantic and
Pacific Tea Company, which has been
looking for site here for several
months.
l. Marritz, who has conducted a
store on East Main Street for num-
Der OF years is also among those who
is making Main Street more business
like. Mr.. Marritz is having the en-.
tire front of his store improved and
has added the dwelling next door to
his store and in this new place will
operate 5, 10 and 25 cent store. A
store of this nature has long been pre-
dicted here and Mr.. Marritz will offer
some excellent bargains in this new
department.
There is strong probability that
in short time another Improvement
will be made to house a community
grocery store. A young man who has
been in bushes in Newark for several
years is known to have plans UNDER
way at the present time to organize
company and deal in groceries at cut
rates. It is his idea to have every
dealer stock holder in the store.
The young man is not yet ready to
put his proposition up to the public,
but states that he is thinking seri-
ously of taking over property on
Main Street and remodeling it into
an up-to-date store.
Another improvement that is no.
ticeable on Main Street is that of sew
eral cement pavements being laid to
replace those of rough brick.
It is known fact that several per-
sons have visited Newark in the past
few months looking for business To-
cations, but with the present condi-
ions existing it is like looking for a

needle in haystack to find store on
Main Street.

Dean McCue In Charge of Arrangements

Newark had about one hundred Wis
itors last Thursday afternoon, when
the conference arranged by the Soil
Improvement Committee of the Ma
tional Fertilizer Co. was held here.
This conference was between the ex-
ecutives of the fertilizing industries
in the Eastern States and the repre-
sentatives of the experiment stations
of the same district.
The conference held last week was
one of the series which is being con-
Quoted each year in various parts Of
the country and just previous to one
held here there had been a similar
conference in Missouri. The purpose
of these conferences is to give the
fertilizer industries and the expert
ment stations a closer view OF each
others problems in working out pro-
Grams which will best benefit the
farmers.
Those who attended the local con-
ference proclaimed it to be one OF the
most successful that has ever been
held and they were more than pleased
with the conditions that they found at
the experimental farm of the univer-
sitv of Delaware. Among those who
attended the conference last week
were representatives of both the fer
tilizer industries and experiment sta
tions fro every state in the Eastern
and Southern district.
Probably the most notable OF those
in attendance was DR.. ]. G. Lipman'
director of the New Jersey Expert

the world over for his agriculture
work and just last week returned from
