We have always recognized that no
one tobacco would just hit the taste
of every pipe-smoker. We have always
known, too, that we couldn't make all
the pipe tobacco in the world even If
itwere possible to make tobacco that
everybody liked.
So we have been content to jog
along, seeking and finding men who
do like Edgeworth, who find its indi-
dualfragrance exactly suited TO their
taste.
Those are the men we want to smoke
Edgeworth. If we can give them the
full joy of smoking and keep our fac
tories running somewhere near capac-

enough.
One thing we do want to be sure Of.
It is this: That every pipe-smoker try

Clay was waiting for lunch at rot
isserie on Sixth avenue, and in order
to lose no time-of which he had more
just now than he knew what to do
with-was meanwhile reading a news
paper propped against water-bottIe.
From the personal column there popped
out at him three lines that caught his
attention:
"If this meets the eye of C. L. of
Arizona please write me, Box Mi.
The Herald. Am In trouble.
Kitty NJ"
He read 1t again. There could be
no doubt in the world. 1t was ad-
dressed to him, and from Kitty. He
remembered that on the bus be had
casually mentioned to her that he
usually read the Herald.
After he had eaten, Clay walked
down Broadway and left a note at the
office of the Herald for Kitty.
The thought of her was in his mind
all day. He had worried a good deal
over her disappearance. 1t was not
alone that be felt responsible for the
loss of her place as cigarette girl. One
disturbing phase of the situation was
that Jerry Durand must have seen her.
What more likely than that he had
arranged TO have her spirited away /?
Lindsay had read that hundreds OF
girls disappeared every year in the

COMMENCEMENT

commencement exercises of the
High School will be held in the Opera
House on June 10th, according to the
announcement made today by Super
intendent Owens. No further ar
rangements have been made.
1t is expected that about twenty
students of the High School will re-
ceive their diplomas at this time.
Mr.. Owens also announced that the
colored school would close Friday.
June 8, and the primary, grammar
and High Schools will close on June
18th. By these dates it will be
noticed that the local white schools
will close at later date than the
colored school but this is due to the
fact. that the white schools lost so
much time through the schools being
closed on account Of scarlet fever.
The schools of the town held the
following school sessions this Sc
mester: the colored school, 1873; the
grammar and primary schools each
1873, and the High School 1856. The
standard number of sessions is 18O
but the local Board of Education had
planned to have 100 sessions this
term but the scarlet fever outbreaks
caused this program to be abandoned.

every sense of the word.
Nearly every organization, business
house and many individuals had places

The various lodges and business

Lancaster Mayor and
Commissioners Visit
Come Here to Look Over
Local Pumping Station
Equipment Surprises

There ,is hardly person in New
ark that realizes the manner in which
the local water pumping station is
equipped.
The majority of the people know
that they are getting water and that
is sufficient, but there are hardly any
who realize that Newark has one of
the finest pumping stations in the
country for town of it's size. One
town official said yesterday that the
only time you would ever hear any
thing about the pumping station
would be when something went wrong
and then the air would be full of
trouble.
I But whether the people here in
town realize the fact or not people
from other cities and towns do realize
that Newark's pumping station is
"THERE" and in capital letters.
This was proven last week when
Mayor Munsing, of Lancaster, and
seven water commissioners from the
same place visited here to inspect the
plant.
Lancaster is at the present time
considering the installation of a gaso-
line auxiliary in connection with their
pumping stations. Cities much larger
than Newark have these auxiliaries
in connection with their pumping sta
tions but the Pennsylvania city Of
ficials honored this town by coming
here to look over the local plant.
The eight Lancaster men motored
here and were met by Councilman e.
G. Wilson who conducted them on the
tour of inspection of the pumping sta
ton. They were more than surprised
at the excellent equipment in the
plant and went home satisfied with
the workings of the local station.
While here the Lancaster authori-
ties gave the whole town the "once
over" and were more than surprised
with the apparent progress being
made here.
The latest number of the Engineer
ing News-Record, a national maga-
zine, carries picture of the local
pumping station and points out the
many advantages incorporated in the
local plant.
A. H. Hartmann, of the CONSOLE
dated Engineering Co., of Baltimore,
Nd, engineer, who had charge of the
work on the local pumping station
and water system, visited Newark on
Monday and made an inspection of
the pumping station.

Interesting Talk
On Farm Marketing
United States Official Speaks
in Wolf Hall-Radio to
Help Farmer

Before an audience that was any,
thing but encouraging to the mercan-
tile committee, which was responsible
in bringing Mr.. Marquis, Assistant
Chief of the United States Market
Bureau, this nationally known office
holder and speaker delivered an ex-
cellent address in Wolf Hall last
Thursday morning.
Mr.. Marquis was brought here by
the committee of the Chamber of
Commerce in charge of the Dollar and
Booster Days and it was thought that
there would be large audience on
hand to hear him speak on subjects
of interest to everyone in this COM
munity, but the hall was many times
too large for the size audience that
turned out. Those that attended were
we'll repaid, for Mr.. Marquis delivered
very interesting address on farm
ing conditions as they exist today.
The speaker told of the farmer
from the early days up until the pres
ent time and the manner in which
they conducted their business through
these various times. Mr.. Marquis
said that in the early days of the Ro-
mans, the farmers studied the eco
nomic viewpoint of marketing and in
stead of studying up on the pruning
and attending of crops were always
figuring a profitable market in which
to sell their products.
Mr.. Marquis, in continuing, told of
how the farmers of today raise ex-
cellent crops, fine cattle and other
products but have failed to study and
work out plan for the turning over
of their products in a profitable man.
ner. He told of how the farmers and
Government were now cooperating
in an effort to standardize the mar
kets of the country.
The position that the speaker holds
is sufficient to attest for his ability
to talk along these lines and the fact
that for ten years he was an editor
Of the The Country Gentlemen fur
ther attests to the knowledge that
Mr.. Marquis has of the subject on
which he spoke.
One reason that Mr.. Marquis point

Wednesday Nights Big Parade
Brought Many Visitors Here
Main Street Crowded with Many Out of Town
Visitors-Elkton Firemen Turnout-Three
Bands in Line
MECHANICS AND HERMAN TYSON WIN E1psr .

With hundreds of visitors from sur.
rounding towns and country here on
last Wednesday night the Booster and
Dollar Days parade proved one of
the biggest successes that has ever
"come down the pike" and stopped off
here.
Main street resembled Broad street
Philadelphia, on a New Years Day
and long before the parade started
the streets were lined with automo-
blles and persons standing along the
curbs awaiting the parade.
The parade was scheduled to start
at 7.30 o'clock, but like every really
good parade, was little late in get
ting off. This did not dampen the
enthusiasm of the large turnout. Just
about parade time a strong, cold wind
blew up, but this was not sufficient
to keep any of the paraders or spec
tators away from the celebration.
That it "Pays to Advertise" was
certainly verified on Wednesday night
for people who had never been in New
ark before and many who have pnss-
ed through here but had never stop
ped off were on hand. Before the day
of the parade the entire country side
was placarded with posters telling OF
the parade and the effect of this ad-
vertising told in large numbers.
Many persons had never before real
lied the opportunity offered here ard
the parade brought many here that
will in all probability come back.
Getting back to the parade, many
of the "oldtimers" stated that it was
the best that the town has everknown.

Daylight Saving To Go Into
Effect In Newark April 3Oth
Town Council Took Action in Special Session Last N;oht
New Councilmen Sworn In-Committees Appointed -
Several New Inspectors To Have Office

Daylight Saving will go into effect
in Newark on Sunday, April 3Oth, the
same as in New York, Philadelphia
Wilmington, Baltimore and other
titles of this vicinity. This was de-
rided by Town Council at a special
session held last night.
Mayor Frazer announced he had
received many requests that the local
Council pass resolution giving New
ark the extra hour of daylight and
said that although he had no stock
in the matter of turning the clocks
back he thought that if other cities
OF this vicinity were going to have
Daylight Saving, he could not see
how Newark could get away from it.
He also told the members of Cornell
that the University of Delaware and
tie local public schools were going to
regulate their hours according to the
new time.
Councilman Widdoes said that if
the schools of the town were going to
have this method in their programs
he thought that the town should also
join in the movement. He also point
ed out the fact that the many COM
muters to Wilmington would be "out
of luck" if. the local clocks were not
turned back.
Councilman Patchell, the new men,
Der of Council, said that he thought
there was great deal of opposition
to the new time in this vicinity.
A motion to adopt the daylight
saving program here, was made by
Councilman Widdoes, and when the
vote was taken there were no dissent
ing voices.
Just what effect this program will
have on the town remains to be seen
but it is a known fact that MANY of
the trains on the Pennsylvania and
Baltimore and Ohio Railroads will be
run on different schedules starting

Praise For Local
Fire Company
Firemen from Marcus Hook
and Mayor of Lancaster
Visit Here

The Aetna Hose, Hook and Ladder
Company came in for some inspection
and praise last week.
The fire chief and eleven members
of the Marcus Hook, Pa, fire com.
pany made a trip here last Saturday
to inspect the local fire company and
they were more than surprised with
the equipment in a town the size of
Newark.
Many persons Of the town thought
that there must have been a fire last
Saturday when the local engine was
seen to go up Main street with a
number of men on it. But such was
not the case as the local firemen were
demonstrating their apparatus to the
visitors.
There is hardly town of any size
today that does not have a fire depart
ment of some nature and many of
them have up-to-date equipment but
it is doubtful if any other town in
this section has as fine an equipment
as the Aetna Company.
The local company houses two of
the finest pumping engines to be found
in any fire company and respons to
many out-of-town alarms. Every
member of the local company is an
active worker.
Not only were the Marcus Hook
firemen guests of the local company
but the Mayor of Lancaster, Pa, and
several other officials of the same
place visited the local company last
week and stated that they had never
seen town the size of Newark with
such excellent fire fighting equipment.
These are the kinds of boosts that
help and encourage.

Dollar Days Are
OK'd By Merchants
Many Stores Broke Receipt
Records ds-Out of Town
Customers Encourage

The Booster part of last weeks
celebration was a success, Wednes.
day nights crowd proved this. The
next thing that is asked is whether OF
not the Dollar Day end of the event
came out in good shape.
To this we find answers in both the
negative and positive.
There is hardly a. merchant on
Main street who did not do a larger
business last Wednesday and Thurs
day, especially in the evenings, than
ne has done for sometime past. Of
course there are exceptions to this as
there are to all things, but all in all
the concensus of opinion among the
business men is that the days were all
that could be expected.
In the larger cities when there is a
Dollar Day it is generally the dry
goods and department stores that
make the most of it and it is as a
rule these stores that do the most
business and such was the case here.
The grocery stores, drug stores,
general stores and nearly every other
kind of store entered into the spirit of
the Dollar Days here but like in the
larger cities it was the dry goods and
department stores that profited to the
greatest extent.
Many stores broke all records for
receipts on Wednesday evening and
not only the proprietors of some of
the stores will claim that Dollar Days
were a success but the clerks stated
in several stores that they never re-
member being so busy.
After the parade on Wednesday
night the many persons who lined
both sides of Main street made their
way into the various stores to look
over the Dollar Day bargains and
that these bargains were satisfying is
shown by the large number of sales.
One merchant who has been in
business here number of years
stated that he catered to more out-of-
town people last Wednesday and
Thursday than he has ever catered to
in a week before.
This same merchant claims that on
Saturday many persons from the out
lying districts came to his store with
samples of material purchased by
neighbors on Dollar Days. When in
formed that the special prices were
only for Wednesday and Thursday
the customers claimed that they were
satisfied to pay the regular price and
that they would have been buying
here before had they known that the
local merchants carried such a full
line of goods.
Such statements as these are well
coined by all merchants of the town
for this proves that one of the really
worth while points of the two DAYS
was accomplished, that of impressing
people of neighboring towns and
villages that it is not necessary to 90
to the bigger cities to supply their
needs.
A thorough canvas of the mer-
chants will show that the majority of
them did extraordinarily we'll on the
Dollar Days and those that did not,
all admit that the idea brought many
persons here who will in
all probability make this their buy
ing center in the future.

w. S. SCHOOLFIELD
HEAVY LOSER

The store Of w. S. Schoolfeld, well
known here in Newark, was destroyed
in the fire that swept Pocomoke City
on Monday. Mr.. Schoolfield married
Miss Carrie Cooch, of Newark, and
the latter's mother lives in Pocomoke
City with her daughter. Mrs. Cooch
was expected to visit her daughter
here in Newark yesterday but was
delayed as result of the fire.
Fortunately the Schoolfeld home is
located about half a mile from the
town and was not damaged.
