First Shipment
From Cannery
Carload of Tomatoes Went Out
Today-Amazing Figures
May Run All Year

Few people in Newark realize that
the 1000 cases of tomatoes and corn
were packed at the United Cannerv
Corporation yesterday. This amount
was packed there and it is little Won
der that there is a steady procession
OF wagons down Depot road filled
with corn and tomatoes when it is
taken into consideration that this
number OF cases of packed goods are
turned out at the plant. The Kenneth
Square plant of the corporation yes-
terday packed 1900 cases of corn.
These figures give a good idea of the
mammouth outlet that these canneries
afford the farmers of this vicinity.
The first shipment of goods from
the local plant took place today when
carload, consisting of 1000 cases
of No. 2 tomatoes We're shipped. The
officials of the local plant stated this
morning that from now on it was the
plan of the corporation to ship car
load of products day.
The brands packed at the local plant
are "United Quality Standard" and
Omitted Fancy-Extra Standard" the
last consisting of the fancy pack of
corn and tomatoes. The packing of
tomatoes is expected to run up until
October and then the local plant will
start the canning of sauer kraut and
pumpkin. After this pack is COM
pleted the local canning crew which
consists of about $50 people will be
taken to the Kennett Square plant
where mushrooms will be packed.
Next year it is expected to run the
local cannery all year. The plans
call for the packing of Strawberries,
string beans, spinach and the other
products named above.
When the local plant was started
this year the storeroom had 27 car
loads of cases stored and it was
thought that this would be enough
for the local output, but the officials
are now of the opinion that at least
% carloads more of cases will be used.
There are three boilers at the
plant which are running at full ca
pacity, 600 horsepower.

Bonds For $l60,000
Will Be Issued
Board Of Education to Keep Tax
Rate Within Ascent Promise,
Decreases Issue

At meeting of the local Board of
Education on last Friday night it
was decided that the local bond issue
would amount to $16O,000.
The referendum vote on the ques-
tion as to whether or not this district
should bond itself to the extent of
S165,000 was taken last June and the
voters voted in favor of the bond
issue.
After the election the tracing of the
boundaries of the district made it
evident to the members of the Board
that if the tax rate was not to be in
creased more than 45 cents, as was
promised when the vote was taken,
that the bond issue would have to be
decreased by $4,000.
The original amount of the issue
could have been gone through with,
but the interest would have been so
high that the tax rate would have had
to be increased more than 45 cents
and after making this promise the
members of the Board thought it best
to cut the amount of the issue and
therefore keep the rate as low as
possible.
The bonds will be ANS and adver-
tising for the sale of the same has
already started. The bids for the sale
of the bonds will be opened Septem-
Der 18th. 1t is the opinion of the
members of the Board that there will
be no trouble in selling the bonds.
Although the amount is $4,000 less
than originally planned it is not
thought that the decrease will alter
the plans for the new school to any
great extent. The architect and the
local Board went over the situation
as soon as it was found that it would
be necessary to decrease the issue and
it was found that nearly all the origi-
nal plans could be carried out.
The work on the new building will
be started as soon as possible after
the sale of the bonds. The local
school will be greatly added to as
soon as the Delaware School Auxil-
iary awards the local Board it's prom
ised appropriation, which will amount
to over 100000.

Transfer Home
Economics Department
Board Of Education Utilizes Vacant
Space in Grammar School
More Room in High
School

1t will not be long now until the
vacation of Newark's school kiddies
comes to an end.
School opens on Tuesday, Septem-
ber 9Th, and glimpse at the calender
will show that this date is not very
far off.
The schools will probably be in a
better condition during the coming
term than they have been for sew
eral terms past, as the members of
the Board of Education have done
! everything in their power during the
summer months to have the schools
improved.
One of the biggest changes that
will be made in the school buildings
is the transfer of the Home Econom-
les Department from the present High
School building to the top floor of the
Grammar School.
This change will make more room
for the High School pupils, some
thing that has been needed for long
time, and will also give better loca-
tion to the Home Economics Depart
ment. This transfer has not yet been
completed, but will be before The
opening of the new term.
The space to be used for the depart
ment in it's new location is on the top
floor of the grammar school building
and has not been used for classes
previous to this time.
Alterations and repairs have been
made in the various rooms of the
school and much paint has been ap-
piled.
The new colored school on New
London road will have its opening
with the new term.
George Griffin is the contractor on
this job, w. H. Robinson is doing the
plumbing and T. R. Jacobs is doing
the electrical work.

Some time ago, in reality right af-
ter the organization of Newark's
Chamber of Commerce, it was sug-
gested by James G. Hastings that the
Chamber, as one of it's first acts, es-
tabshed tourists camp. There was

matter, but George R. Leak has come
through with an offer that several of
the members of the Chamber of Com

just this side of the new railroad
bridge along the new road. The
ground offered is along the main thor

When Mr.. Hastings suggested that
the Chamber of Commerce establish
such camp he planned that the site
Should be on the lot where the new
high School building is to be erected.
Ihat lot would not be available now
as the new school will be started in
short time.
One Of the members of the Cham

the body and suggestions made that
lights and water be placed on the lot
Already several motorists have
camped for the night on the site and
with the addition of lights and water
there would probably be several par

These camps are very popular
throughout the country.

Democrats Nominate
Bayard For Senate
Boyce For Congress
PARTY Names Ticket at Convention
Held Yesterday With Woman
Presiding

Following the usual night of con-
ferences, contests, arguments and
nlaving for position, the Democrats of
. delaware in Convention assembled at
Dover yesterday named the following
ticket:
Senator-Thomas F. Bayard, Will
mington.
Congress-Former Judge William
H. Boyce, Dover.
State Treasurer - Rowland F.
CULLEN, Laurel.
Auditor of Accounts-Mrs. Mabel
Frances Derby, Woodside.
Insurance Commissioner Norman
Collins, Bridgeville.
The platform adopted is interesting
as can he seen in another column.
Features of the convention were the
absence of the old War Horses and
Mules, the conference argument on
the Wet and Dry, a woman chairman,
and woman named on the ticket.
Knowles was lashed to terrific de-
feat by the tie and ties of Bayard
and Rdgely were forgotten. Jim
Wolcott and Bull McNabb had less to
say than for years.
Woman Presides
For the first time in the history of
a political convention in Delaware a
woman presided over the session, as

Economy, efficiency and law en-

keynotes of the convention. She de-
tailed the accomplishments of the
Wilson administration, and attributed
the failures of his administration in
both its domestic and foreign demands
to the arbitrariness of a Congress at
variance with the President. Idle
mills, idle mines, farmers left with
crops rotting in the ground, mer-
chants left with their goods unsold,
and people who should have been busy

Scoutmaster Shaw
Makes Things Buzz
Local Troop Has Been Very Active
in Last Few Weeks-Fall
Program Outlined

The Boy Scout Troop of Newark
was without scoutmaster for sew
eral months and in that time the troop
was practically dormant.
But recently Mr.. John Shaw has
taken over the reigns and is now act
ing as scoutmaster for the local troop
and to say that the scouts are active
now is putting it mildly.
There is scout meeting once
week and the boys of the town are
turning out regularly and showing
great deal of interest in the program
outlined for them by Scoutmaster
Shaw.
Several of the lads in the next few
weeks will take tests to become scouts
of higher standing.
With the cooler weather coming, the
real outdoor season, the Scouts will
have an opportunity to pull off many
of the stunts that only the Scout is
"wise to" and several hikes will be
taken.
With the renewed activity of the
local troop it would not be surprising
to see it grow into one of the largest
of the State and already several boys
have made application for member
ship and will probably be given the
an4rapce examination in the next few
weeks. A troop scribe may be ap-
pointed within the next week.

This total of S35,1S9.61 will prob
ably be increased by about $4,000
before the term ends. This is the ap-
preparation as allowed at the present
time, but many of the. items listed
above will vary to a great extent and
for this reason more money will be
appropriated to the local Board dur
ing the school term. The item above,
son enrolment" is based on the en-
rollment in the elementary schools of
last term, but the enrolment at the
High School for the coming term
must be. figured in this and that will
therefore bring this appropriation up
to some extent.

number of teachers" is not definite
for it is not known just what the num-
ber of teachers will be, but in all prob
ability the number will increase over
last year and therefore increase the
amount to be received.
The appropriation allowed "on daily
attendance" may either increase or
decrease, all of which depends on how
well the scholars keep up their rec
ords. There was an increase in at
tendance last year and the local Board
is looking forward to even a better
record this year.
"On Teachers Certificates" is an
other item which cannot be figured
exactly. If the local Board employs
any new teachers who have certif-
Gates of higher standing than those
of last year then the appropriation
here will be increased.
