TWO IMPORTANT EVENTS

Two events will be held at the Uni

Farmers Day when every farmer in
the State is invited to visit the univer-
sity farm to spend the day inspecting
the crops, fruits, live stock and learn
of the experiments that are being car
ried on in the interests of farming in

consequently record crowd is expect
ed. There will be addresses by several
experts in agricultural lines.
State Club Leader A. d. Cobb is

The whole world is in state of un-

Tatons is having its troubles. Capital
AMI labor are again engaged in strug-
gle to decide the wage problem. The
government may have to step in and
decide the issue. Many solutions Of
the problem are being prepared, such
as, Federal control of all industries, CO.
operation and profit sharing, and in
dustrial courts of arbitration. Meme of
these remedies can ever permanently
settle the difficulty The disease of
the world is deep seated and comes
from depraved human nature. The
old sin of selfshness lies at the roof
of the whole trouble. 1t is like can
Ger eating at the vtals of Individual

is the only cure. Christ alone, can take
the selfishness out of the human heart.
When the heart of big business and
the heart of labour receive the divine
touch, humanity will be saved from self
and the consequences of selfishness.
What are you doing to make the church
effective in applying the principles of

anity will not cure as long as it stands

you can Recommend it to others. Don't

University of Delaware officials are
greatly pleased with the prospects of a

will send more students, both boys and
girls, to the university than ever be-
fore in any one year. Dean E. Laur-
ence Smith and Professor George E.
Dutton, for two weeks have been visit
ing boys who graduated this year from
various high schools of the State in an
effort to interest them in entering
Delaware in the Fall and are much en-
couraged over the prospects.

be Ordered
A POTATO AUTOMOBILE TOUR

Fifteen hundred tons of fertilizer is
the estimate which j. D. Reynolds of
Middletown has placed for the fall fer
tilizer pool for New Castle County.
The pool should treble when the orders

were definitely laid at the monthly

reau held in Wilmington last Saturday.

Newark and Western Kirkwood COM
munities H. C. Milliken of Porters,

is evident that this plan of purchasing
is rapidly coming into favor

New Bridge at Cooch's

Cooch's Bridge is being replaced with
an up-to-date structure to replace the
old narrow bridge at that point. The
old bridge has been removed and a
temporary structure built just south of
the old site to take care of the traffic
passing in that direction.
The work is being done by the Levy
Court of New Castle County. The new
structure will be sixty-four foot rein
forced concrete arch bridge with a
twenty four foot driveway. This last
item will be welcomed by those who
have to use it as it will be eight feet
wider than the bridge which has just
been removed. 1t is expected that it
will take about two months to complete
the work.

while sleeping in porch hammock at
his home on Crawford street, early
Sunday morning. Mr.. Jones had been
smoking, and the supposition is that he

asleep. He awoke to find his clothing
and the hammock burning rapidly but
fortunately had the presence of mind
to fall on the ground and roll, which
quickly extinguished the flames. His
back was painfully burned but at this
writing he is doing as we'll as can Be
expected, and will soon be able to leave
his room.
