in navy dirigible Is intended for balloons.
1t overcomes one of the great difficulties ex-
perienced with balloons in the past, when
they were inflated with hydrogen gas.
1t was easy enough to destroy a balloon
filled with hydrogen. All the enemy had to
do was to hit 1t with an incendiary bullet,
and the balloon went up in flames Hydro
gen is highly in1ammable But this is not
true of helium. 1t has all the buoyanev OF
hydrogen-perhaps a little less-but it will
not burn. With the development of heum
has come also the development of a special
type Of valve to be used on the gas bags.
One of the important things about the dis
covery, or rather the development of
helium gas, is that the United States has
the only supply of it In tho world 1t makes
military ballooning safe for the United
States, while all other nations at the present
time are at a disadvantages in this regard,
being forced to depend still on hydrogen.
In the field of communication, both for
the army and the navy there was remark
able development during the war--deveop-
ment too that will be of great use to tho
people of the world in time Of peace. All
the resources of the nation--civil and mill
tary---were called into play to solve the COM
municaton problems that were acute from
the fact that the battle line was 5000 miles
away from the actual base of operations
One Of the outstanding developments in
the way OF communication was the airplane
telephone, which was brought out at the
Signal Corps cantonment at Little Silver,
n. ]. Through this-an application of
radio--it is possible for airplapes in fight to
communicate with each other and with the
ground.

A Good Soldier Is He Who
Takes Most Pride in Appearance

But equally important is the effect the
belt has on the officer morale. An il-f fitting
blouse or one that is soiled shows I'D more
readily when an officer wears belt, so that
the belt forces the officer to be more careful
of his appearance. 1t Is held to be true by
military authorities that the efficient army is
the army which is careful OF its personal
appearance.
In this connection II Is interesting to re-
call that the British army carries this idea
TO what might, to the casual observer. be
considered the extreme. Take for example
the British artillery Every night the
horses are curried and the harness is cleaned
so that it shines. It makes no difference IL
the march has been on in the mud all day
and If It is to be continued tomorrow. under
the Same conditions. The theory is that 1t
will strengthen the morale of the different
organizations for them to keep their equip
ment looking bright. 1t Is a standard for
which the British army is striving con-
stantly Much the same rule applies in
the United States army.

pressure. When used for shells from an
anti-aircraft gun they did not work satisfac-
torily, due to the fact that they could not
be adjusted to the rarefied air encountered
in high attitudes.
This problem was met and solved by the
Waltham Watch Company, and it's en-
gineers. The fuse developed is a mechani-
cal device working very much on the order
Of an ordinary watch, which, when set for
a specified number of minutes will function.

the officers of the United States Army, first

was used by the British. In the opinion
CT some of the highest officers of the Amer

worth while.
In the first place, during operations, the

tingushed from the enlisted man. He may

every one knows. from the belt, that he is an

form, is not distinguishable far beyond the
line-that is, the enemy cannot see whether
a man is wearing a belt or not.

Similarly there was developed system of
telephoning from submarine to submarine

NIGHT FARM CLASS
Many Towns of Peninsula
Helping Farmers Profit

In the majority of the High Schools
in the State where Agricultural Edu-
cation is being taught, the teachers
are holding Night Glasses for adult
farmers who believe that there is still
much to be learned about farming.
In one of these centers, namely,
Middletown, such a class was held
on the evening of January 25th, 1922.
There was spectator who observed
the following:
The subjects under discussion were
Feeds for Dairy Cattle" "What
Feeds to Use and Why" "Quantities
How to Balance and Costs"
The farmers in attendance learn
ed many facts relative to quality OF
feeds and results produced by them
why and how to balance a ration.
But the outstanding fact learned
was that a ration of corn and col
meal bran, ground oats, and o. 7
linseed meal would save thirteen tt
twenty-five dollars per ton over man!
of the commercial dairy feeds and a
the same time furnish better feeding
ration production.
On this ration milk can be produces
at feed cost Of approximately 45
per 100 pounds of milk.
There are facts brought out a

creased profits and thence larger ban
! accounts if we are only willing t
learn and, furthermore, willing t
help the other fellow to learn t

Farm Bureaus
Monthly Meeting
Reports Show About GAO
Members-Newark Well
Represented

The Executive Committee of the
New Castle County Farm Bureau,
held it's monthly meeting in the di-
rectors' room of the Security Trust
and Safe Deposit Building, at Will
mington, last Saturday. The meeting
was called by President Frank F.
.Yearsley, of Marshallton. Secretary
Mary E. Dickey, of Stanton stated
that practically all of the GAO men,
bers for the year 1921 had renewed
their membership for 1922.
The pooling of the 1922 fertilizer
and seed order was discussed by j.
D. Reynolds, of Middletown, who was
authorized to attend the annual meet
ing of the Eastern States Farmers
Exchange now in session at Spring
field, Mass. Mr.. Reynolds will likely
recommend that Delaware join her
pool with that of the northern ex-
change and take advantage of the
experience and large volume of busi-
ness of the Eastern States Exchange.
During February each of the twelve
communities of the County will hold
organization meetings. County Agent
R. o. Bausman, of Newark, stated
further that the purpose of these
meetings was to enable each COM
munity to adopt a definite plan of
work for 1922. The boys and girls
club work, cooperative buying and
selling, orchard demonstrations, soy
bean demonstrations, and improve
ment of our dairy cattle are sub
iects which will be considered at
these meetings.
Mr.. M. o. Pence, County Agent
Leader, discussed the growing of
certified seed potatoes and stated
that they could be bought at $500 a
; bushel.
w. w. Buckingham, of Newark,
; discussed the hog industry as it now
exists. Mr. Buckingham's opinion is
that pork production in Delaware will
increase only as the farmers use better
bred stock. A committee of w. w
Buckingham, of Newark; H. c. Mil
liken, of Porter, and R. 0. Bausman
of Newark, was appointed to investi'
gate the availability of pure brec
sows in Kent County, Delaware, anc
the Eastern Shore of Maryland with
. the idea of bringing a shipment into
this County.

When KellS was a Dream
QUALITY FOLKS
Editorial April 18th, 1910

The old Southern darkies recognized
those who were above them by the name
quality folks. To us quality folks are those
who do better work, who render better
service than the ordinary run of folks.
Heinz qualities for that with his 81 vari.
cites; the Studebaker Wagon Company,
the Oliver Plow Company, John Wana.
maker-all these and others in their class
are quality folks. But one doesn't have to
be of national Importance to be reckoned in
this class. One can be Equality folks" in a
small community. All you have to do is to
do certain kind of work little better
than the best. That is the open sesame to
that society.
Jones out in Wisconsin, is making bet.
ter sausage than any one else, while Mary
Elizabeth makes those who like good candy
bend the knee to Syracuse. Out there in
Pittsfeld Mass, is the Caxton society.
These lovers of good printing are publish.
ing a series of brochures which are fitted
with the best in literature. Thomas Mosher
of Portland, makes the best books in the
country. One can caress Mosher book,
and always be sure that within the covers
one can find something high grade. The
Roycrofters came into existence because
Ebert Hubbard stumbled into William
Morris and caught the germ. Out in Los
Angeles James Grifs has set up the Golden
Press among the orange trees and roses.
He sends out his beautiful little magazine
"Everyman" to try to bring folks to see that
the Golden Rule is really greater than the
majority think, and that laugh is worth
ten frowns in every market.
An ideal we have is that some day
there will be little shop in Newark that
will do good things in printing. 1t is dream
not of a country job Office, but of little
art shop. A dream perhaps-but that the
Newark Post some day will be considered
and loved as a little weekly paper at New
ark, Delaware, that is good, that is doing
good, that is different and that we may be
classed among the QUALITY FOLKS
because we are doing good work, little
better than the other fellow can.
