But since he'd stolen the Fairy

Special to The Evening Journal.
NEWARK, Aug. 2s.-The bond
issue for the new school building to
be started in short time, will be
sls0.000 instead OF s1e5,000, as
originally intended. When the ref
erendum vote was taken in June the
school district authorized the local
Board OF Education TO issue bonds
to the amount of s165.0oo. Since
that time the board has definitely
determined the boundaries OF the
district and found that the total
assessment would not allow them to
issue over 100000 of bonds. The
law provides that a district cannot
bond for more than 5 per cent Of
the total assessment. The board will
ask for bids on the 100000 in a
short time so that bids can be ask
ed on the building as soon as the
bonds are sold.

NEWARK, Aug. 2S.-The annual
street carnival of the Aetna Hose
Hook and Ladder Company got a
good start Saturday night when the
largest crowd for an opening night
since the firemen started holding an
annual carnival attended. The car
nival will continue each night this
week. 1t was estimated that about
5000 were on the carnival grounds
in the rear of the Old Academy
Building during the night. Hun
dreds of automobiles from the sur
rounding country were parked in the
streets.
With the various booths decorat-
ed the grounds presented an attrac-
women of the town were in charge
of many of the booths and it has
been their help that has contributed
largely to the success of carnivals
of past years. Music will be fur
nished each evening by the Mime
haha band. There will also be dane
ing each evening in the armory.
One of the features on the grounds
is a movie show. There are also
numerous attractions for the young
people.
Z. Clifford Wilson, chairman OF
the general carnival committee, has
announced that Thursday night will

fine HOG SHOW
AT STATE FAIR
Profit in Home Raising to
Be Shown Farmers of
State
PREMIUMS FOR
ALL WINNERS

Because of the efforts being made
by provision packing houses in this
city and state, the display Of sheep
and swine, particularly the latter.
viii be OF especial Importance and
interest to farmers who visit the
Delaware state Fair. which opens at
Elsmere on Labor Day.
The fact that hogs from the mid
die west and the south are brought
to this city TO be killed and made
into meat products. when farmers
of Delaware can raise just as fat
and palatable porkers and derive
the difference In the price of the
porker and the freight costs, is one
Of the important items in connec-
tion with the farm that heads of
packing houses hereabouts have
been striving TO impress upon the
farmers.
Because the hogs can run wild
about an enclosure on a farm for
many months of the year and then
fed in pens towards the time when
they are TO be sold, upon the things
raised on the farm, makes the prop
osition unusually attractive from a
money-making point Of view. Farm
ers OF the eastern shore of Mary
land have gone pretty generally in
raising hogs. The porkers are be-
ing fed on the stuff raised on the
farm and for which many times
during the season the market is
poor. But it's a good market when
put in hogs.
In the hog display at the Fair
every animal being exhibited must
have through its owner a certificate
that it is not tainted in any
way with any communicable dis
eases, thus assuring nothing but alb
solutely healthy specimens OF the
breed
There are thirty-four premiums
offered for specimens OF the Poland
China breed which is popular
breed in Delaware. In addition TO
the premiums for boars and sows.
there are special prizes for herds
four animals each. There
are also premiums for the cham
pion boar and SOW and for the grand
champion.
There are thirty-two premiums
for prize animals in the Duroc-Jer-
sey breed. with the usual prizes for
herds and champion of the male and
female.
Chester White which Is also
strongly favored in some sections of
he state will be represented by a
rood display there being thirty-two
premiums offered in this class.
Thirty-two prizes are offered for
he best animals of the Berkshire
reed OF hogs and the same number
T premiums for the Hampshire
reed. Members of the Boys and
iris Clubs of the state are greatly
1terested in this competition.

of the sentiment.
If there were anything to worry
about. she told herself as she lay in

her heart TO wish the Gypsys were
not so rapidly becoming the favorlte
with a certain type of public.
There was something about the car
that appealed to the gay. the newly

extremely sophisticated crowd.

being coached by the Gypsy Motor

enjoy themselves. -Four guns were
found and hunting knives which

used. The men finally pleaded
guilty before Judge W. NJ. Wright
and were given fine of $35 and
costs which amounted to $11,60
each.
