ST. ANNE'S CHURCH NOTES
EPISCOPAL

Sunday, May 2Sth, 1922. Sunday
after Ascension.
Services: 10 30 A. M. Morning prayer
and sermon.
ll.45 A. M. Church School,
7.30 P. M. Evening prayer and ad-
dress.
The Church building is open daily fof
meditation and prayer. Come in, Rest
and Pray
Bear in mind the date for the 217th
Anniversary services in Old St. Anne's 5
Church, Sunday, June 18th. The Bis
hop of Delaware and the Bishop of
Bethlehem will be the speakers on this
occasion.
Church attendance-The family pew
is thing for which we should pray
That 1t may come into being once again.
We do not need rented pews for this.
In a church with free pews the family
can easily have their regular pew and
always sit in it. 1t means being
gracious to anyone who may happen to
sit there too. Family worship at home
seems to be thing of the past also.
1t could come back with profit to all
concerned. To the loss of this ac-
acknowledgement is partially due to the
falling off at attendance in Gods House
on Sundays.
Let every member of the Sunday
School look forward to being present
next Sunday, we want a hundred per
cent. attendance. Parents are urged to
assist the Teachers in seeing that the
children are sent to the Church School.
On Whitsunday. June 4th, the Rector
will celebrate the 22l anniversary of
his ordna ion to the Deaconate having
been ordained in All Saints Cathedi al,
Milwaukee, Wis, on that date. And
on August 9Th, this year the Rector
and Mrs. Donaghay will celebrate their
twentieth wedding anniversary.

WIRELESS FOR U. Old.
Receiving Set Will be Established
in Summer School
ITS BROADER PRACTICAL USES

Unusual Importance attaches itself tC
the announcement by University OF
Delaware authorities that a wireless
receiving set will be established in
Wolf Hall for the Summer School and
that an elementary course in radio
telephoney will be established as a reg
ular feature of the session. Educators
believe that with the continued devel-
opment of the radophone will come its
broader application to practical uses.
Chief among these will be the broad
casting of lectures from the principal
universities of the land. BY means of
the radlotelephone students in hun
dred High Schools will be enabled to
listen in" on history lecture by IA
competent authority speaking at the
state university; teachers unable to
make the journey to the great educa-
tional centers will be able to take ad-
vantage of the lectures offered.
Already. the University of Virginia
and Tufts College are broadcasting the
principal university lectures and con-
certs. 1t is only question of time un-
til the same thing will be done by many
other educational institutions.
In addition to providing instruction in
radiotelephoney, the installation of the
set will provide much novel entertain
ment. Seated in Wolf Hall those at
tending the Summer School will be able
to enjJy concerts and lectures broad.
casted from Pittsburgh, Schenectady,
Springfield, Chicago. New York and
Philadelphia.
Walter Dent Smith, who will be
graduated from the University in June
with the degree of Bachelor of Science
in Electrical Engineering, has been en-
gagged a, a member of the staff of the
Summer School to give the lectures and
demonstrate the apparatus. Mr.. Smith
has been doing thesis work in radio
telephoney.
Both the lecture course and the re-
ceiving set are being established
through the generosity of the Service
Citizens of Delaware. The appara tus
will become the permanent property of
the university.

LET US ALL BOOST OUR TOWN

1t is gratifying. indeed, to find that
since the first meeting of the Chamber
of Commerce of Middletown, the gen.
eral public in our community has al
ready caught the broad spirit under
lying our project of making Middle
town a bigger, better and more pro.
gressive town. Let US resolve to have
new modern School H1use, and good
roads leading from all the towns around
US as special inducements to bring the
greater business to our town that it
needs and must have.
Let us build more homes to increase
our population and thus lessen our tax
es, get an up-to-date fire apparatus
that our town can be proud of and which
will be able to save property in case of
very dangerous confagration.
And last, but not least let us resolve
to have the new Postoffice, which our
town has so badly needed for a long
time, and since the old one has been
destroyed by fire, let US fight hard for
Federal P. o. Building fitted to handle
the large and increasing business of
our End class p. o.
The many letters written our two
Senators and Representative, have
stirred them up to do their best to Sc
cure for US this Federal building.
We must all pull together forgetting
party lines, failure to do this has
caused many like enterprises to fail in
other towns, We have good chui ches,
modern banks, up-to-date stores and
well paved streets, good light and
water system, and will soon have new
modern Opera House. Thanks to the
live ladies of the New Century Club
for building fine Club House which
we are making good use of as a Com
munity Centre. Then we hope soon to
have new P. o. on a par with our
other improvements, and credit to our
whole community. But all these will
only come by hard work, all pulling to-
gether.

THRIFT MOVEMENT
The Government is Actively En-
gagged in Thrift
TRYING TO REACH THE PEOPLE

Thrift Is necessary to national exis-
tence. When people cease saving and
turn to waste and extravaganza, they
| begin to degenerate, their government
| begins to decay, and the life of their
nation is doomed. All the world has
shown that thrifty people are a pro-
gressive people and a prosperous peo-
pie, advancing steadily in industry, in
telligence, independence, and good gov
ernment. Saving money is not miserly,
1T is wisdom. Hoardlng money is miser-
! ly and wasteful, because it clogs the
life blood of commerce. Saving money
and investing it, on the contrary, means
that money is put to work, earning for
the investor and providing capital for
industry and trade.
The United States Government has
become actively engaged in a great
movement for thrift and saving. 1t is
reaching out for the boarded and hidden
money earned by the timd; it offers
them safe investment and high rate
of interest The Postal Saving System
has been in operation more than twelve
years and has been success. 1t tstill af-
tords one of the best mediums for people
who can save only small amounts at a
time. Ten-cent stamps are sold, and
when person has ten stamps they can
be exchanged for 81 interest-bearing
postal saving certificate. Postal saw
ings have proved very popular. many
people having purchased the limit of So,
500.
The government also offers Treasury
Saving Certificates for those who want
to invest in larger amounts They are
sold in denominations of S25, $1OO and
$1,000, at 500. $50 and $500. These
Certificates are exempt from state and
loca! taxation Except estate and inheri-
tance taxes) and from the normal Fed
eral income tax, paying 4l per cent in
terest compounded semi re-
deemable in five years. They make a
most attractive investment for the per-
son OF small means, the wage Garner,
the farmer, and for the women and
children who are striving to save money
in small lots.
Postal Savings and Treasury Savings
Certificates can be obtained at any post
office. The post office thus becomes
the bank of the small investor. Every
person with little money to save can
easily reach post office, and once the
money is in the hands of the govern
ment it is absolutely safe. 1t begins to
earn money as soon as dollar is in
vested. By postal savings d-by the
sale of War Saving Stamps the Govern
ment has created spirit of thrift and
saving; it intends to foster that spirit
| and build its saving system stronger
and better, not only for the benefit of
the people themselves, but for the good
of the United States as a nation.
We are trying to reach the people
who have money they should invest.
but who will trust no medium than the
Government. The Government desires
to sell its securities and wants to place
them far and wide. 1t wants every
person to become it's partner. 1t wants
to use their money and pay them fair
rate of interest for it. That is why the
United States today has become one of
the strongest and the NEST important
factors in the thrift and savings move
ment.

AN OLD TINE BARBECUE

A barbecue where great chunks OF
brown, smoking, juicy beef, served
with steaming hot coffee, and all the
trimmings" is being planned for the
big opening day of the Ozark Stock
Show. On Tuesday, October 3rd, at
noon, every citizen in the Ozark Coun-
try is expected to be the. guest of the
Ozark Stock Show at free midday
barbecue. Here neighbor may meet
neighbor, old friends from distant
parts of the country may greet each
other and exchange "reminiscences at
an old time. old fashioned barbecue.
"What is the use of talking better
beef, breeding better beef and show
ing better beef if we never have an
opportunity to eat any of it," asks E.
NJ. Wilhoit, President of the Stock
Show and himself an extensive breed
er and feeder of cattle. Very seldom
do we have an opportunity of secur-
ing the best meat produced in the
world and for one time at least every
one who likes beef will be able to eat
the best purebred, corn fed meat
which it is possible to produce with
Ozark cattle on Ozark feed.
The steers, dozen or more, are be-
ing very carefully fitted and few
days before the opening day of the
Stock Show will be dressed by an
Ozark packing company. and very
carefully prepared by man who has
roasted steers and presided at barbe-
cues for nearly half a century.
Nothing of the sort has ever been at
tempted before in this country on
such gigantic scale, and plans are
being made to feed ten or fifteen
thousand people and fill them up with
all they can eat. During the barbe-
cue, the crowds will be entertained by
some of the best bands, singers and
vaudeville artists in the entire world.
Tuesday, October 3rl, will not be a
dull day for the person who makes it
point to be in Springfield.
