BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS

OF DELAWARE LAST WEEK.

More than eighty boys and girls
from all three counties of the State
spent four days at the University of
Delaware, Newark, last week. These
youngsters who are members of var
ious Boys and Girls Clubs were en-
rolled in the Junior Farmers Short
Course held at that time and practical
ly all of them by successfully COM
pleting some allotted project during
the year won free scholarship to the
course which had been offered by
banks, corporation and individuals.
1t was the third annual Junior
Short Course and it has grown to such
an extent since started in 1919 that
the prospects are it will be held dur
ing the summer months in the future
when more elaborate program can
be prepared.
A. D. Cobb, State Club Leader, was
in charge of the course and a busy
program had been arranged. AS the
university students were at home for
their Christmas holidays, the boys and
girls had the advantage of what uni
versity equipment was necessary for
the course. The young visitors had
sleeping quarters under chaperones
in the dOrmitories and ate their meals
at the university commons.
The course consisted of lectures,
practical demonstration of club work,
etc. The visit was thoroughly enjoyed
by the visitors. One feature that was
especially enjoyable to the young
club members was the athletic exer-
cises each day in the university gym
nasiums under trained instructors,
that being part of the course.
One of the lecturers who was well
coined by the students as an old
friend was Theodore T. Martin, of
Springfield, Mass, former State Club
Leader. 1t was under Mr.. Martins di-
rection that the short course was
started in 1919, and most of the boys
and girls clubs of the State were al
so organized under his direction. He
was given an ovation the evening that !
he addressed the students.
Assisting Mr.. Cobb in the conduct |
of the course were, Miss Kathryn
Woods, State Demonstration Agent;
Miss Agnes P. Medill, Miss Dorothy
Emerson and Miss Helen L. Com
stock, County Club Leaders and Coun-
ty Agents, Bausman, Wilson and
Vaughn.

GAIN IN DELAWARE DEATHS

An increase in the death rate from

by statistics announced on Monday

According to the Departments
statement, there were $4,000 deaths
due to organic diseases of the heart
in the registration area in the United
States in 1920, "and if the rest of the
United States had as many deaths
from this cause in proportion to the

from organic diseases of the heart in
the entire United States in 1920 was

SHOW GREAT INTEREST
FOR CONCRETE ROAD
HUNDREDS OF PEOPLE In DOVER AT
HEARING BEFORE LEVY COURT and
STATE HIGHWAY COMMISSION
ALLFOR CROSSCOUNTYROAD
The BEST FEELING SHOWN BY ADVO-
Gates OF EACH STARTING POINT.
ALL ROADS BUILT In 1928.

The joint meeting of the State High
way Commission and the Kent County
Levy Court held at Dover, last We'd
nesday, at which the delegations fa-
voring the various proposed locations
of about forty miles of concrete road,
which will be built during the present
year, were given hearings as to the,
necessity of building their particular
route.
Three hundred citizens of Milford
and vicinity went in automobile, mark
ed "for the Milford and Harrington
Route" and with probably two hun
dred from Harrington, crowded into
the court house, where the two COM
missions sat. Ruby R. Vail, of Mil
ford, presented the claims for the To-
cation of the initial work to be start
ed at Milford, in an address which set
forth the statistics as to population,
business and the lines of travel which
will be the greatest to benefit by con-
Meeting the two bOulevards already
built for all the people Mr.. Vail dwelt
upon the point of the greatest good to
the greatest number and admitted the
urgent need for building the concrete
road to the Maryland line; but empha-
sized the point, that by building. the
connecting link between the two bOul-
evards first, the people will be best
served. A petition signed by more
than 2100 people of Milford and Vi
cinity was presented to the members
of the two commissions.
Mr.. Robert Jones, Of Harrington,
presented the appeal Of the people of
that town and the district between
Harrington and the Maryland line in
a quiet and forceful address, which
appealed to his audience. He stress
ed the need for better roads across
the county, and urged that the build
ing Of the road they were asking for
AS the first part Of the road con-
struction, would bring a great salts
of the Delaware railroad. He pre-
sented the claim well and received
applause for his good judgment and
for his good feeling for each of the
districts asking that they be served
first.
A delegation from Smyrna was pres
ent asking for the locating of the pro-
posed cross-county road in the north
ern part of Kent county, to Marydel,
to which there was no objection.
The next delegation was that ask
ing for the location of another road
)y way of Hartley.
George M. Fisher presented the
claim for building three miles of con-
,rete road from Rising Sun to Wyom-
ng, which would pass through the
sreat apple belt of central Kent coun-
y. There was none to oppose this
quite.
The law governing the building of
State-Aid Roads, requires that the
county shall furnish the same amount
# money put up by the State. The
levy Court can not build the roads,
Dut must recommend to the State
Commission which roads
hall be built-and that body then fur
fishes the engineering and plans for
uilding the roads-provided the rec
of the Levy Court is ap-
roved by the member of the State
Ioard.
The two bodies will have to perform
heir work of inspection before the
eaching of a final decision, which will
robably require several weeks.

LANDED BIG CATFISH

lnhabitant of Water Weighed Twen-
ty-fve and Half Pounds
One Of the largest fish ever caught
in Lake Francis was hooked Satur-
day by John Vanliew of Los Angel
es, who was assisted in capturing
the prize by Mrs. n. E. Dewey OF
Hazel Green Wis. who handled the
landing net, says The Elysian En-
terprise. 1t was a monster catfish of
the channel species which weighed
twenty and one half pounds. 1t was
no doubt one of these species which
had been transplanted to that lake
from Lake Elysian some years ago.
Fishermen may be interested in
learning that the big catch was
brought in on an eighteen pound test
line, when casting with five and y
oz.reel and o. hook baited with a

from getting excited when he landed
this one. For thirty five years at
times during the summer Mr. Van
LEW has fished in Lake Francis and
Lake Madison. but this was the big
gest surprise to ever come out of
the water when he was Keeling in,
Mrs. Dewey showed skill in manipu-
atinr the landing net or it would
have been another story OF how a

ARTz is REARREsTED
Again Charged With Murder Com
nitted Eleven Years Ago

Redwing, October 8. - ELEVEN
years work to solve the mysterious
double murder of Mr.. and Mrs.
lnton Schill near Redwing, a crime
which shocked Southern Minnesota
il 1911, and led to one of the most
spectacular trials in the states
history eliminated last night In
the arrest Of Eugene Artz, forty
two, at Milwaukee,.
Mrs. Anton Schill was found in
the basement of her farm home,
two miles from Redwing, her body
riddled with bullets.
Police worked on the theory that
her husband had murdered her, but
few days later found SchilPs body,
u-ewise riddled with shot, in hay
pile in the stable.
Artz lived on a neighboring farm.
He was arrested, charged with
murder, and tried jointly with John
Boerfler, his brother in law. Beer
fier made a statement duplicating
Artz, gave robbery as the motive,
and was convicted, while ArtZ was
acquitted. Boehfier now observing a
life sentence at Saltwater, recently
made a new statement and author
titles. last night reported that new
corroborative evidenc warranted
Artz' arrest.
Artz was traced to Badgers Cor
ners, near Milwaukee. He denied
implication in the murder but will
return to Minnesota to stand trial
for the staying of Mrs. Schill.
