1t was after ten years spent In the

his Innocence and applied to Gov.

that his confession had been made be-
cause of fear that he would be mobbed.
This contradictory attitude Of john

later maintaining his innocence caused
Gov. Blame to say that "a man Of or

BIG CATTLE SALE
ON MARCH 18th
Holstein Friesian. Conslgn-
ment Will Be the Best
Ever Offered in State

The Holstein- Friesian consignment
sale which was to be March 8 will be
held Tuesday, March IA. The change
of date is due to an unavoidable delay
in getting the catalogues off the press.
This will be one of the highest
class Holstein-Friesian sales ever
held in Delaware. Every animal con-
signed is from federal accredited
herd or a herd that has passed at
least one clean test under federal
supervision.
Thirty-three head which have been
selected out of sixty entries Will be
sold Col. George Baxter, the fam
Gus Holstein-Friesian auctioneer, from
Elmira, New York, will conduct the
sale.
The blood of Winterthur Bess
Burke Best will be found in the
pedigrees of some Of the animals
consigned. This bull is considered by
authorities the cream of the Holstein-
flpSlatl Ilc 10 ole VI q iioeSN
cow, Bess Burke I'd, and sired by the
famous King of the Ormsbys.
Another of the prominent consign-
ments at the sale is daughter of
King of the Pontiacs. To Holstein
breeders little more need be said. This
bull is the greatest sire Of the breed,
having produced more A. R. o. daugh-
ters than any other bull of the breed
This bull is now dead and oppor-
tunities to secure the offspring are
daily growing fewer.
The eleven consignments made by
P. B. Messick, of Middletown, are al
sired by a son Of Sir Inka Prilly
Segis, a bull with over 80 A. R. O
daughters and the number increas,

DID YOU KNOW THAT

Since the first of the year the COM
munity spirit of Newark has shown
itself better than for long time.
This is proven by the success attend
ing the Parent Teacher Association
and the Choral Club. Keep it up.
Friday morning of last week was
the coldest of the winter and that at
many places in this vicinity the ther-
mometer registered zero.
Newark was lucky in the last snow;
places further south foot of snow
fell which drifted badly with the
high wind.
With the busses and the ten-trip
tickets on both railroads, Newark has
better service into Wilmington than
any other town on the Peninsula.
The election of town officials is not
far off. Whose hat will be in the
ring at this election remains to be
seen.
Students at the High School are
studying harder since parents have
realized the conditions as result of
so many children "hunking" in their
mid-years.
Newark and Dover are both being
'raked over the fire" for the High
Schools they sport"
From the present outlook Newark
is in for a big building boom this
Spring. Several persons have already
contracted for work and many more
are contemplating building.

FOOTBALL TITLE
FIGHT IN IVES!
At Present 1t Is a TosS-up
Between Iowa, Michigan,
Minnesota and Wisconsin
Grid EIevens

Chicago, Oct. 20 (by the Associ-
ated Press. 1.-The fight for the
western conference football title,
at present toss up between Iowa,
Michigan, Minnesota and Wiscon-
Isin, will narrow next Saturday
when the two last mentioned con-
tenders tangle In their annual
game at Minneapolis. With de-
feat meaning certain elimination
from the championship race, this
game will be the outstanding one
in a day that includes only one
other contest between conference
universities, the Northwestern-I lli-
nois game at Urbana.
Last Saturdays games furnished
little excitement within the confer
ence and only served to tighten the
holds of the leaders and the losers
on their respective places. Michi-
gan increased her string of VIC
tories to two by defeating Illinois
"a to 0, while Iowa won its second
conference game from Purdue, Sc
to 0, and Minnesota defeated Ohio,
8 to 0.
The dramatic battle of last min
ute rallies, staged at Stage Field
between Chicago and Princeton
furnished the west with the great
est display of football fireworks
it has ever seen and ended one of
the greatest intersectional sensa-
tons the western conference has
known. With this battle out of

the way the air is cleared for the
conclusion of the big ten cham
pionship race.
The battle at Minneapolis
between the Gophers and the
Badgers is a toss up. Both teams
have exhibited effective passing
tactics, both have strong lines and
both have great sets of running
and plunging backs. Much in this
game will depend on the general
ship of the quarterbacks and the
wisdom of the two coaches in han
ding their men.
The Northwestern game
will be battle between two fairly
strong teams fighting for positions
at the top of the second division.
Both teams have shown flashes OF
strength, Northwestern against
Minnesota and Illinois against
Iowa, and the outcome of the bat
tie is highly problematical.
Michigan is expected to have lit
tie trouble in defeating the Michi-
gan Aggies at Ann Ar>,or, but Pur-
due and Indiana, each of which
battles, the non conference elev-
probably find their hands full, Pur-
due with the strong Wabash elev-
en- and Indiana with Rockne's No
tire Dame warriors. In these two
battles, the none conference elev-
ems are given a slight edge. Chi
cago, Iowa and Ohio will rest.
