 1 would urge that all school districts contemplating a con soidation consider this question before the annual school elect ion in May, because at that time a tax IS voted and you should know just what you will need before voting youl tax.
 I shall be glad to meet you at any time for discussion along this line and shall be glad to give any assistance can in this work.

BARN DESTROYED BY
 FIRE SUNDAY NIGHT
Big Hay Barn on Vaughn Farm Near Town Is
 Total Loss

Fire completely destroyed the big hay bar on C p. Vaughn's farm 2h miles south of town Sunday night about 7:30 o'clock.
 Several tons of hay and some farming tools were de stroyed.
 It is not known how the fire started, but it is evident that it was set by someone, as there was no occasion for fire at the barn, no one living near and there being no stock at the barn to be fed or looked after.
 There could be no motive for incendiarism, as MT. Vaughn had no enemies in this community who would resort to this. The most plausible theory is that the fire was ac- cidentally started by a bunch of crap shooters who had prob ably been engaged in a game and had earlessly thrown a aside cigarette stub.
 MT. Vaughn communicated with Sheriff Harris who se- cured blood hounds from Cot ton Plant, but the dogs were unable to take up the trail. Nothing has developed to throw any light on the origin of the fire.

Irish romance, dear to the hearts
Of all, with its old-fashioned senu-

wit, features the delightful comedy
Irish Eyes" which opened at the
Playhouse last evening for three
days engagement. Walter Seaman
who enhances the play with his
many delightful songs. won the
hearts Of all who heard him and
who saw his splendid acting.
In addition to the song numbers OF
the comedy. by request Mr.. Seaman
sang THAT Old Irish Mother Of

He also made a little curtain speech
in which he thanked his hearers for

their reception, and declared he
most certainly would return to Will
mington next season with another
new production. He was presented
with a large bouquet OF roses.
Mr.. Seaman is outstanding both as
actor and singer He makes love
like a true son Of the Emerald Isle
in lyric measures and with elo-
quence of speech and gesture. His
voice is clear and rich, especially in
its upper register
The ongs by Mr.. Seaman were
AN Irish Song viii Live" THE
Road to My Love-" Kathleen" MY
Galway Rose" Judy. You're the
Jewel OF Them All" and ''Mavour-
neen." In almost every instance he
was obliged TO sing an additional
verse or repeat the chorus.
As for the comedy il is as typical
ly Irish as Mr. Seaman. II tells a
fetching story with love and humor
intermingled. It would be unfair to
tell the plot, which is OF the kind
that should be seen TO be appre-
ciated. The scenic effects are excel
lent. One especially that stands out
is that OF storm on the coast OF
Ireland.
The company supporting Mr..
Seaman is all that could be desired.

Fatalities at railroad crossings

forcibly than ever to the attention OF
motorists, and others who use the
highways tho danger at railroad

signs even more visible than they

so displayed before him that he can
not fail 10 see IL.
Ii now becomes more than ever
a matter OF caution for automobiles
and team drivers" said Mr.. Walsh
yesterday In discussing the situa-
ton The railroads have done their
part the chief engineer OF the High
way Commission, w. Dudley Buck,
has rendered valuable help, the
Delaware Safety Council has assist
ed in every way IL could, and the
result is that there is not grade
crossing anywhere in Delaware
which will not be properly pro-
tected by warning signs during the
coming summer.
ITO eliminate grade crossing acci-
dents completely this summer. we
must. therefore. look to the people
who use the roads to exercise due
caution"
The warning signs to be put up
are standard with those used by
other states and adopted by the
