Lecture Series Was
The Best Ever
Programs This Year Attracted State
Wide Attention-Resolution
, Of Appreciation

Last Sunday night came as one of
regret to many persons of Newark.
The reason was, the fact that at that
time the last 1922 Evening Lecture
Series in connection with the Univer-
sity of Delaware Summer School was
given.
This was the third year for these
lectures and from those who have al
ways been in attendance it was ac-
claimed the best. For the past six
weeks there have been a couple of these
lectures held each week. The fore
most speakers, musical and dancing
entertainers of the country have been
on the programs and the people have
shown their appreciation by packing
Wolf Hall to capacity on many of the
occasions.
1t is doubtful if the people of any
other town the size of Newark have
ever had the opportunity to hear such
performers as were on the programs
in this series. And very few of the
biggest cities have ever had such a
galaxy of speakers, singers and musi-
clans in such short stretch Of time.
Too much credit for the success OF
the series cannot be given to the Serv-
ice Citizens of Delaware, who ar
ranged the program. Miss Eta j..
Wilson, of Newark, connected with
the above body, was in direct charge
of the programs. .
William Silvano Thunder arranged
the musical programs that were pre-
sented, and some of the leading musi-
clans and singers of these parts gave
recitals.
There were orators Of the first de-
gree who delivered wonderful lectures
and some of the foremost ministers
of the country preached here on Sun
day evenings.
That these programs attracted
statewide attention is a known 1act
for many automobile parties from all
narts of the State were in attendance
at several of the lectures. Whining
tonians by the score attended the
affairs.
At the lecture last week, Director
w A Wilkinson was authorized by
the audience to submit resolution OF
annreciation and congratulation to
DR.. Odell and his assistants, DR.. Cop
ner and Miss Wilson, for the excel
lency of the programs arranged by
+be Service Citizens for the Summer
School Lecture Series.

Co. E Encamped
With State Troop.
Left on Special Car Early Monday
Morning---Among First
in Camp

About fifty members of Co, E.
Newark's finest, left early Monday
morning for Camp George w. Sparks,
where they will be encamped for the
next two weeks. The marching of the
local company from the Armory to
the Pennsylvania Railroad Station
brought back memories of II. But
the memories were not near so grim
for it was known that the kakhi clad
boys were not marching off to battle.
The local company is member of
l9Sth Artillery &C. A. c. Delaware
National Guards.
20. + had special car on the train
that leaves here at S.37 (davIight
saving time). The company was
transferred at Wilmington and went
to New Castle from which point the
soldiers were carried by trolley cars
to the camp.
IN all there are about 500 men Of
the Delaware regiment encamped at
the rifle range and everything vas
was hustle and hustle on Monday as
the members of each company ar
rived. Early Monday morning before
the arrival Of any of the soldiers tho
rifle range resembled just vacant
held but before sunset it was trans
formed into tented city with its
many streets and avenues and took on
the grim like appearance of the manv
army camps that existed throughout
the country during the world war
Colonel Harry w. Stark had charpe
OF the laying out of the camp. Assist
ing Colonel Stark in the training
work are Captain Hodgens, CAPTAIN
Ruddel and Sergeant Walter 7
Waters.
The Newark unit was among the
nfst to arrive at camp, reaching tbare
shortly after nine O'Clock. As each
unit arrived it was repaired to the
sector of the camp designated for it's
use.
The hospital unit of the repiman+
was established at the head of the
reglmental thoroughfare. The repi-
ment band of twenty-four pieces also
accompanies the soldiers: Major
George j. Schultz is in command of
the first battalion and Harry B. VAN
sewer Is in charge of the second
battalion.

Boundary Of School
District Being Fixed
Necessary Before Local School Bond.
Can Be lssued-Hope to Start
Work Soon

Newark's Board of Education is at
the present time tracing the boundary
for the special school district in which
this town is located. This work must
be accomplished before the Board can
go ahead and issue the S165,OOO worth
of bonds as authorized by the special
referendum vote taken in June.
The boundary of the district must
be known so that the proper taxation
can be made. There will be, as al
ready stated, slight increase in the
tax rate to meet this bond issue. It is
to fix this tax rate that the work now
being done is necessary.
The intention of the Board is to
have the work on the new school
started just as soon as possible and
although it is thought it is too late
now to have the new building COM
pleted before the start of next term,
the Board will probably move classes
into the new school just as soon as it
is completed after the school work
has gotten underway.
IT will be impossible to erect the
entire building at this time inasmuch
as the amount of the bond issue is
not sufficient to cover the cost Of the
erection of all the building. The plans
are to build as much of the new school
as possible with the money realized.
1t is thought that this will take care
of the High School classes and possi-
bly, one or two grades of the grammar
school,
The remainder of the school will be
completed when the local Board re-
ceives the S225,00O pomised by the
Delaware School Auxiliary. Just
when this amount will be available is
not known but it is probable that it
will not be long now. When the
school is completed Newark will have
a school building equal to any on the
Peninsula.
AS stated previously the tax rate
will in all probability increase about
45 cents.

BE SURE TO REGISTER SATURDA Y
REHABS' OUTING
Ex-Service Men Having Big
lime at Augustine

This is big day for the Rehabs.
The members of the school left earlv
this morning for an outing at
Augustine Beach.
Many people of Newark were un-
aware why several automobiles were
being driven around the streets gaily
decorated. The former soldiers were
making a regular day of it and sew
eral of them decorated their machines
from bow to stern with American and
service flags.
Jack Williams who has charge of
the athletics at the Dugout has ar
ranged a program for the Rehabs
which will include field sports, base
ball game and swimming stunts.

Firemen's Carnival
Bigger and Better
Aetna Hose, Hook and Ladder
Members Getting Ready
for Yearly Event

. There will be no bill board posters,
advertising it as the Biggest Show
on Earth" but it will be bigger and
better than ever, this is the way E. C.
Wilson terms the carnival that will be
staged by Aetna Hose, Hook and Lad
der Co. this year.
The firemen's carnival is always a
gala week here in Newark, and the
various committees in charge of the
affair this year claim that the people
of this vicinity faint seen nothing
yet" If this is the case there must
be some real surprises in store, for
years past the local carnival has held
the reputation of being one of the
best of it's kind in the State and hun
dreds of out-of-town visitors are al
ways in attendance.
August 26th to September End, in
elusive, are the dates set for this
years carnival, which will be held at
the usual site on Academy street.
The site is next to the new frehouse
of the company and it was the hope
of the firemen some time ago that
the carnival could be held this year
in connection with the official opening
of the new home, but this will be i'm
possible.
"Cliff" Wilson has had charge of
the local carnival for a great number
of years and he has not left a stone
unturned to make this years affair
surpass any of former years.
With excellent roads leading from
Wilmington and other points north
this year it is expected that many
more persons from that vicinity will
attend the local carnival.
Mr.. Wilson announced this morning
that the various committees that have
been appointed will be announced next
week.

Large Audience Hears
Glenn Frank Speak
Editor Of Century Magazine Makes
Big Hit in Final Of
Lecture Series

The most thoroughly representative
audience of the entire session, includ-
ing prominent Delawareans from a
radius Of many miles, greeted Glenn
Frank, editor of the Century Maga-
zine, last Thursday evening, the last
of series of brilliant speakers at the
University of Delaware Summer
School, Preceding the lecture a mo-
tion expressing the appreciation Of
the community for the 1922 Lecture
Series which is universally pronounced
the most popular yet given, was
adopted, an d the Director requested
to express the sentiment of the meet
ing to the Service Citizens of Della
ware.
Mr.. Frank, in one of the strongest
lectures ever delivered from local
platform, said:
"There is one idea that dominates
my entire thought and thrusts itself
into the foreground at all times: it is
the idea of the possibility and prob
ability of vast spiritual renaissance
of Western civilization. the roots of
which l believe are even now set deep
in the soil; renaissance which by
courageous leadership may be brought
to fruition. l want this evening to
trace the genesis of that idea in my
own mind.
"For three or four years." Mr..
Frank continued, 81 have been in
creasingly impressed with the litera-
ture of despair that has appeared
from our presses. have investigat-
ed the mass Of material that is crowd
ing our bookshelves very thoroughly,
and boiled down, my conclusions
amount to this: this literature of
despair is written by men under the
inspiration of one or all of five dis
tinct fears. l shall call them the five
fears of western civilization which
have been leering over the shoulder Of
the writer and turning him into a
prophet of doom.
"First there is the biological fear,
the basic assertion of which is that
the best blood of the Western World
is turning to water. Lothrop Stod-
dard's Rising Tide Of Color is an
illustration of this sort. We find these
books coming from men in whom the
scholastic tendency and the sense of

Presbyterian Church
Work Is Started
Congregation is Raising $4,000 to
Carry On-No Session.
Until September 9th

There will be no further services
in the Presbyterian Church until Sun
day, September 9th. This announce
ment was made this week by Rev. H.
Everett Hallman, pastor of the church.
This is due to the various repairs
that are being made to the church
at the present time. 1t was the hope
of the pastor to be able to continue
the Sunday School services in the
basement of the church, but when the
work on the repairs was started on
Monday it was evident that it would
be impossible to continue the Sunday
School, therefore all departments will
be closed until the above date.
The work being carried on at the
edifice will cost about $4,000. One
feature of the work is the fact that
the church will not go in debt in view
of the extensive repairs being made
The money to cover the cost of this
work is being raised by special cam
paign and it is thought that the
pledges of the congregation will
amount to enough to pay for all the
work now underway.
The contractors on the repair work
are: Electrical, T. R. Jacobs, of New
ark; plumbing and heating, Daniel
Stoll, Newark; roofing, Fulmer &
Roberts, of Wilmington; carpets, John
Wanamaker, Philadelphia; and wall
decorating, Seaburg & Blackwell, Will
mington.
The lighting system of the church
will be greatly improved on. For
some time past the former system has
been unsatisfactory. There will be
hot-water heat installed, another big
Improvement. The carpet will be of
colonial velvet and will add much to
the interior of the church. The re-
decorating of the walls of the church
will also add much to the appearance
of the building.

TYSON SET DOWN

According to newspaper clippings
received here recently, Herman Ty-

Many Farmers Will
Be Here Tomorrow
Farmers Day Attendance Expected
to Surpass Former Years--Cattle
Judging Contest

By this time tomorrow there will
be hundreds of visitors in Newark.
The reason-it will be Farmers
Day. This is the biggest day of the
year in the opinion of many of the
Peninsula farmers, and inasmuch as
this year has been a banner one in
most crops there is no doubt that
an unusual large gathering will be
on hand tomorrow to see the condi-
tions of the crops and fruits on the
Experimental Farm.
There will be demonstrations of va
rious methods of up-to-the minute
farming given on the farm. There
are crops and live stock on the farm
to interest every farmer, no matter
what his Leading crop may be.
One of the big features of the cele-
bration this year will be a cattle judg-
ing contest held by the members of
the Boys Club of New Castle County.
The work of these lads is of great in
terest to the farmers of today, for
they will be the farmers of to-
morrow. Each boy who will take part
in the contest will realize that his
"daddy" is watching with criticizing
eye and he will, of course, do his best.
Another item that will stand out
foremost in attracting the interest Of
the thousands of farmers that are ex-
pected to be on hand will be the fer
tility work that is conducted on the
Experimental Farm. This work is
carried on in both the grain and fruit
sections and that the local method is
successful and interesting is attested
to by the praise bestowed on the local
farm by the members of the coun-
trys foremost fertilizer organizations
who inspected the local farm couple
Of weeks ago.
Dean C. A. McCue is in charge Of
the arrangements for tomorrow and
has arranged an excellent program.
He has obtained as the speaker of the
day DR.. Jacob G. Lipman, Director of
the New Jersey Agricultre Expert
ment Station and national authority
on farming problems.
Another interesting feature of the
program will be demonstration in
hat making by the girls of the Sharp
ley and Welsh Tract Girls Clubs.
There will be a poultry culling and
roup treatment demonstration by Mr..
Mumford and DR.. Palmer, at the poul-
try plant.
The program as arranged by Dean

This Years Crops
Better Than Last
Reports Show Some Bumper Pro-
ductions---Apples and Potatoes
Unusually Good

County Agent Bausman has COM
piled the present status of the crops
OF Delaware and this report shows
that the crops this year are exception
ally good with few exceptions. 1t is
claimed by many fruit growers that
this is the best year they have ever
experienced and a neat profit is find
ing its way into the pockets of those
having orchards.
The apple crop this year is un-
usually large, larger in fact that for
many years. Both the quality and
yield OF the harvest apple crop is ex-
cessively large, is the manner in
which Mr.. Bausman terms the crop.
He points out that the late frosts
killed enough blossoms to have a
thinning effect, thus improving the
quality of the fruit. 1t was feared
at first that the heavy frosts that pre-
vailed in this district for several
nights would do excessive damage to
the apple crop but when the trees
started to bear this fear was elimi-
mated. At the present time, according
to the County Agent, hundreds of cars
OF Delaware apples are now going in
to the markets.
just the opposite from last year.
the early potato crop both in WELD
and quality seems to be good. This
condition is due to the abundance of
spring and summer rainfall. There
was quite some complaint of the
amount of rain that fell for several
days this summer but it's good effect
can be seen in this years potato crop.
Last year the early potato crop was
practically negligible due to the
drought.
According to Mr.. Bausman it is too
early yet to predict what the yield of
corn will be, but present indications
are that it will come near that of last
year which was bumper crop. There
is yet time for the elements to cut the
crop short.
Various parts of the State report
differences in the yield of the peach
crop. In Kent county the peach
growers are anticipating heavy
harvest. In other parts of the State
the crop was materially reduced as
result of the heavy frosts. The yield
and quality where the orchards were
not affected by the frosts is reported
as very good.
Although the quality of the wheat
crop for the year 1922 was in most
cases only fair, yet the yield is good,
materially exceeding the yield Of last
year. A yield of thirty bushels to the
acre for an entire crop has not been
an unusual report this year.
Due to the heavy rainfall the pas
lures have been exceptionally good,
which has been an important factor
IN keeping up the production of dairy
herds.
With few exceptions, like the fail
ure of the pea crop in the southern
part of the State, and the rather late
start of one or two other crops, it has
been an unusually good growing year
to date. This is welcomed when one
thinks back to last year and of the
poor crops that were produced due to
the elements.
