ACCIDENT ON
ACADEMY STREET
Driver of Car Fails to See Wagon

About eight o'clock Monday night,
Henry Davis, colored, of Summit
Bridge, ran sixpassenger Overland
touring car into the buggy of Charles
Carsly, of Welsh Tract, on Academy
Street, in front of the Opera House.
Davis, it appears, failed to sound the
horn and made a wide turn. Mrs.
Carsly, who was in the buggy at the
time, was badly frightened.
Chief Tryens arrested Davis. Da-
Wis agreed to pay for the necessary
repairs of the buggy, which will
amount to about twenty dollars.
Squire Lovett fined him two dollars
and costs.
Davis had his wife and five chill
dren in the car with him at the time
of the accident. He said he had lived
in Summit Bridge forty years and
was working on the new ship canal.
He blamed the accident on the lights
and declared he was going around the
corner slowly.

LARGEST CLASS in -
HISTORY MATRICULA LATES
DELAWARE COLLEGE

delaware College of the University
= delaware will open on Friday with
rocord Freshman class, which will
a,obably be the largest in the history
r. the college. Preliminary figures
announced by the Entrance Commit
.,o todav indicate that the Freshman
,loss will number 129, which, with
three who are to enter with advanced
.tsnding, will make total of 1872 new
,+udents. 1t is likely that this num-
her will be slightly increased by Fri
dow when the college opens. The
nrmher in the entering class last year
wss 81, so that the entering class this
wear will be more than so per cent
larger than last year.
Missionary work on the part of
Professor George E. Dutton, chair
man of the Entrance Committee, and
naar E. Laurence Smith during the
summer, in visiting the homes of
graduates of state high schools and
oetting them interested in the matter
If continuing their education, more
than anything else is probably respon-
chile for this unusually large class.
They made a number of trips during
tbe summer to the lower part of tie
state and especially through Sussex
County, and talked with many boys
with the idea of getting them to enter
Delaware.
The preliminary figures show plain
" the result of this work. In the en-
tering class will be 80 young men
from Sussex County, while last year
but II Sussex boys entered the Uni
versity. Professor Dutton and Dean
Smith did the greater part of their
work in Sussex County.
Another fact as to the figures of
the new class that is especially in
teresting is the comparative few in
this years class from outside the
state. Of the total of 1872 prospective
new students only 10 are from out
side the state, while last year in a
class of 81 students 20 were from
other states.
The Arts and Science Department
will lead, according to the preliminary
figures, in number of students in the
entering class with So and 2 of ad-
vanced standing, making total of 60.
The Engineering Department will get
81 and / with advanced standing,
making a total of So. The Agricul-
tural Department will get 10 of the
new students and there are a who
have not specified what course they
will take. The 81 who will take
an engineering course are divided as
follows: Electrical engineering, II;
Civil, II; Chemical, 9; Mechanical, q;
not specified, 13, and 1 with advanced
standing.
A comparison Of the prospective
new class with the class of last year
as to the section of the state they
come from is as follows:

A definite improvement in the fin
ancial condition of farmers has be-
come noticeable during the last
month, states j. A. Becker of the
Wisconsin Cooperative Crop Report
ing Service. In a large measure, the
change is due to better prices paid to
farmers for livestock. A steady in
crease has been shown since the first
of the year. This is particularly true
of prices received for hogs which
have increased $500 per cwt. While
the Improvement in prices during
January and February is partly sea-
sonal, j. e., occurring every year, the
Improvement in 1922 is much more
rapid than ordinarily occurs. Indi-
cations are that by the opening of

Bailey, Winfred Bird and Richard
Smith, went to Portage and Augusta
came here to debate our affirmative
team The affirmative team consist
ed of Ronald Baker, Douglas Corson
and Clyde Taylor.
At Portage the score was 1920 and
here it was S0-86, both in our favor.
Augusta was not only by far the
strongest team we have met this year,
but they are also the best losers and
the spirit in which they met defeat
was remarkable. They had wonderful
delivery and too much credit and
praise cannot be given them.
The debate was one Of the best held
in this school, and was attended by
large and enthusiastic crowd. 1t
has been said that our rebuttals won
the decision, as before that the judge
Mr.. j. S. Young of the State U. of
Minnesota, could not decide on either
team.
The students of this school, cannot
quite realize the significance of being
one Of the three winners out of eighty
one schools, who were in this contest
at the beginning. 1t is only once in
many years that a school can do this.
We are certainly proud of our team
and Augusta has every right to be
equally proud of their team. They
can be proud not only of their debat-
ing ability, but they can be doubly
proud of the splendid spirit they show
ed in defeat.
River Falls High School has a
chance at the state championship in
debate, and you can depend upon the
teams to make the best possible use
of their opportunity.
