Big Crowds Turn Out For
Dollar And Booster Days Attractions
Biggest Event Held in Newark for Long Time
Got Off Early Today-Parade and
Speaking Tonight


Newark will be all dressed up in
her best today and Thursday to cele-
brate her Dollar and Booster Days.
Never has there been so much in
terest in a coming event as is being
manifested in these two days. The
merchants of the town have Coop
Grated with the mercantile committee
of the Chamber of Commerce and
everyone is working to make the
events really worth while.
These Dollar and Booster Days have
been advertised over the whole coun-
tryside both through the newspapers
and placards and already many per-
sons living outside of Newark have
signifed their intentions of attending
the event and many are here already.
One of the features of the days
will be the fact that the merchants
who are taking part in the event are
giving real worth while bargains and
are not "panning" off lot of unsal-
dDlc SOOtlS. ne ltl6EClld1lJS realize
that a great number of persons from
out of Newark are in town today and
will be here tomorrow and to hold
the trade of these people they must
give real values.
1t was evident early this morning
that there would be a large crowd in
town for already many strangers have
made their appearance and the mer-
chants are of the opinion that be-
fore the day is over they will have
catered to larger crowds than ever
before attended a sale in Newark.
Tonight the committee has arranged
for gala time. There will be par
ade at 7.30 o'clock. The bands of the
town will be in line and many of the
members Of the fraternal organiza-
tions have also prepared to turn out.

Head of u. S. Farm
Bureau To Speak
MIR. Marquis To Speak in Wolf
Hall Tomorrow on In
teresting Subjects

In an effort to bring the business
man and the farmer closer together,
the Mercantile Comittee of the New
ark Chamber of Commerce has ar
ranged to have Mr.. MARQUIS, Chief
Director of the United States Farm
Bureau speak here tomorrow, Thurs
day morning, at IL o'clock. An ad-
dress will be delivered by Mr.. MARQUIS
in Wolf Hall and everyone is invited.
1t is thought that many of the State,
City and Town officials from all parts
of the State will be present to hear the
speaker who is known the country
over.
Senator T. Coleman dupont COOP
Grated with the local committee in
obtaining Mr.. Marquis to speak here
and Newark's Chamber of Commerce
feels proud in obtaining such an ex-
cellent speaker for the occasion.
The committee first tried to obtain
Secretary of Agriculture Wallace to
speak on this occasion but he had a
previous engagement and Senator
DUPONT sent a telegram to James
Hastings, chairman of the Mercantile
Committee on Monday, announcing
that he had obtained Mr.. MARQUIS to
speak here. Yesterday Mr.. Hastings
received telegram from Mr.. Marquis
himself assuring the local committee
that he would be on hand.
The speaker will speak on problems
that are of interest to every farmer,
everywhere, among them being mar
keting, bloc system and similar items
of interest.
The first mentioned subject is of
special interest to the farmers of Del
aware due to the fact that the State
Legislature at its last session passed
a bill creating the office of Director
of Farm Marketing. The appointment
to this Office was announced in the
Post short time ago.
With the many attractions arrang-
ed for Dollar and Booster Days for
today and tomorrow it is thought that
Wolf Hall will be packed to it's capac-
ity when Mr.. Marquis starts to speak.
Many farmers from the outlying
districts will be able to reach Newark
on the busses which will carry them
free today and tomorrow.
Newark post., 1922-04-12

1t is thought that the military class
and band of the University of Della
ware will also be in line of march.
The merchants of the town will have
their automobiles in line and some of
these will be transformed to beauti-
ful floats and all of them will be
decorated.
Many private car owners have also
arranged to have their cars in line of
march. There will be prizes offered
for the most original stunts and many
of the younger people of the town are
anxious to cop these prizes.
There is hardly a store in Newark
today that has not arranged special
buys for it's customers and that the
bargains are really worth while can
be found out best by a visit to the
stores. This is the first time that
Dollar Days have ever been held here
but the merchants seem to have taken
hold of the movement in an excel
lent manner and nothing has been left
undone to make success of the event.
Many of the business houses along
Main street are decorated for the oc-
casion and some of the residents of
the town are also flying flags to show
their interest in the event.
The stores as a rule have extra
clerks on duty for today and tomor-
row.
There has been free bus service all
day from points in this vicinity and
this has attracted many shoppers to
come here and see that the local mer-
chants have a line of goods second
to none and that their wants can be
satisfied in Newark as we'll as any
place else.
Another feature tonight will be
speaking by a well-known speaker.

$4,000 Fire at Middletown
Causes Feeling Among Firenen
Firemen Want
Their Just Dues
Local Volunteers Claim Will
mington Firemen Are Toot-
ing Too Much

There is great controversy a, to
who did this and who did that at the
fire in the Middletown Opera Hous,
last week. The fremen of the Will
mington Department have made a
statement that has gotten under the
skin of some of the local firemen who
responded with the Aetna Hose Hook
and Ladder Co.
Reports reaching the ears of local
firemen were to the effect that the
local firemen and the firemen of other
country towns who responded to call
Tor aid were really not "on the job''
and that the Wilmington firemen
really did all the good work that was
done.
g. One of the officials of the local fire
company who made the run to Mid
dletown has the following to say:
GAS member of the Aetna Hose,
Hook and Ladder Company of New
ark who was at the Middletown fire
on Wednesday night, I would like to
say few words in regard to the fire
there and about the great work done
by the Wilmington Fire Department,
if you call it great work by simply
running down and looking on, not
even taking piece of hose off their
machine, while someone else did the
work, then the Wilmington Fire De-
partment did great work.
eve were called about 1890
o'clock. Getting ready at once we
made the run to Middletown in about
As minutes. After getting there we
found that the fire had been gotten
under control by the Midtown, Dow
er, Smyrna and Clayton fremen. We
asked the Middletown fire company of

May Have Daylight
Saving in Newark
Directors of Chamber of Com.
merce Ask Town Council
To Take Action,
Daylight Saving in Newark.

That may be the dose served here
this summer if the Board of Direc-
tors of the Chamber of Commerce
are successful in having the Town
Council pass law to that effect.
The Board of Directors held a meet
ing on Monday night in the frehouse
and DR.. Hullihen, president cf the
University of Delaware told those
present that the institution of which
he is head was going to fall in line
with the cities of Wilmington, New
York, Philadelphia, Baltimore, and
Washington and adopt the daylight
saving plan.
After short discussion the Direc-
tors of the Chamber passed a reso-
luton favoring Daylight Saving and
asking the Town Council to place
Newark in line with it's neighboring
cities.
When DR.. Hullihen was spoken to
in regards to the matter yesterday
he stated that he had brought the mat
ter before the Board of Directors in
asmuch as the college was going to
adopt it. He said that the Baltimore
and Ohio railroad had sent word to
the university that the road was 60
ing to change it's schedule in actocd-
ance with the time of the bigger cities
and DR.. Hullihen said that the Uni
versity would have to adopt the plan
to take care of it's students who COM
mute.
That there will be fight against
the passing of such law by Town
Council is the prediction made by
many persons but unless a special
meeting is called the Town Fathers
cannot even consider the bill until the
May meeting.
1t is understood that some of the
local mills are willing to fall in line
with the law and many of the younger
people of the community and COM
muters to Wilmington are more than
anxious to see such law adopted by
Newark.
The new time will go into effect
at the University on April 30th.

Schools of Town
Have Clean-Up
Students Show Pride in Work
Eye Sores Removed
Seeds Planted

If you happened to be in the VIC
Unity of any of the local schools in
the past few days you have surely
noticed the fact that general clean
ing up has taken place around the
schools and grounds.
Although there has been no an
nouncement of a public cleanup week
here, the school authorities have sure
ly done their bit to try and clean
things and brighten the property up.
Every clear day last week the school
children of the town could be seen
going along Main street with hoes,
rakes, brooms, etc. These were the
instruments of war" used in battle
against dirt and the students surely
had the best of the battle as can be
seen by an inspection of the work
they have done.
The school authorities not only held
this work as in keeping with the al
most general observation of Cleanup
Week in other parts of the State,
but held it as part of the Arobr Day
exercises. Although no trees were
planted, grass seed was planted in
great quantity.
The High School, both in front Of
the institution and in the rear was
cleaned up to great extent. The
large ash pile that has been an eye
sore for long time in the rear Of
the school was one of the items that
fell victim to the movement.
The grass plots were cleaned and
raked and grass seed planted. The
plot in the rear of the old Academy
shows a great improvement and a.
mong these improvements is the ad
dition of regulation volley ball court.
This is being used in connection with
the health education program. Will
liam Barnard donated the lumber nec-
essary to make this court reality.
Superintendent Owens when spoken
to today in regards to the "fence"
around the lawn of the High School
said that he had no authority to re-
move this fence. The fence is fast
crumbling away and only in the past

to be held in city and at one
time. At present officials Of numer-

TRAFFIC JAM
OUTLOOK HERE
All Recrds Are Expected to be
Broken Over Labor Day
Holiday

Extra preparations for what is
expected to be the heaviest traffic
in the history of the city are being
made by Chief Niels ]. Tonnesen of
the police department. The chief
anticipates a flood of motor travel
which will outshine any previous
experience and is laying his plans
accordingly.
Seashore travel has begun already
and will doubtless continue to go
through until late Sunday morning.
Then, with a few hours in between
for breath, the returning crush will
start. Little difficulty is expected in
handling the outgoing traffic be-
cause of the fact that it does not
come all at once but the returning
machines on Labor Day will proba-
bly, tax the capacity of the depart
ment to the utmost.
Chief Tonnesen is fortunate be-
cause of the fact that the heaviest
travel will be on Monday and his
regular traffic squad will be on duty
in addition to achievements from
the patrolmen squad. Heretofore
the greatest volume of automobiles
has come through Perth Amboy or
Sunday, when the regular men are
off duty. Special hours will be ar
ranged for the expected crush on
Monday.
The detours previously put into
effect to relieve congestion in the
heart of the city will be put into
force for this weekend if necessary,
Chief Tonnesen said this morning.
In that way much of the travel on
Prospect street and Market street
will be diverted to Herbert, Smith,
Convery place and Brace avenue.
Mounted Officer Joseph Hartung
Is still off duty as the result of his
accident last week when he was
thrown from his horse. To KEEP
the animal from languishing in his
stall. Patrolman William Petersen
has been detailed to ride Hartung's
horse until the injured officers re.
turn. Traffic Officer Charles Quinn
now on his vacation, is being re-
placed at State and Fayette streets
by Patrolman Michael Patten. Off.
