Fishermen To
Build Own Dam
Will Save Money by Not Giving Out
Contract for "Hole"

Everything is in readiness for the
work to be started on the fishing pond
to be placed near Cooch's by the New
ark Anglers Association. It was an
nounced in this paper last week that
the association had closed lease for
the use of the pond for the next
twenty-five years.
At first it was though that the work
1or damming of the stream would be
let out to contractor, but after q
thorough consideration the members
struck upon the plan to do this work
themselves. This will mean a big
hnanclal saving and the members are
OF the opinion that the money saved
IN doing this work themselves will
help toward larger stocking of the
pond and more improvements to the
grounds.
just what name the new organiza-
tlon will go under has not yet been
aeclded but at meeting to be called
IN short time this will be thrashed
out The body which started the work
was organized a few months ago un-
der the name of the Newark Anglers
ASSOCIATION and number of the
members are in favor Of retaining this
name.
When it was decided that the body
should have a fishing "hole" a SUBJ
scrptlon list was started and in this
manner enough money was raised in a
snort time to carry on the work. The
DOCKS are still opened for subscribers,
out the officials of the organization
claim that in a short time the books
Will be closed and after that time no
new members will be taken into the
ooay for sometime to come.
At the coming meeting of the fish
efmen there will be a great deal OF
business to be transacted, the most
important probably will be that OF
discussing just what kind and amount
VI hsh to stock the pond with. The
present plans call for stocking with
PIKE plymouth bass, catties, sunnies,
yellow neds, and fish of this nature.
Many of the members of the organi-
Aauon are also anxious to learn what
provisions will be made for the build
ing Of lodges, cabins and the like
alohg the pond, as several of them
ore anxious to have quarters as near
we stream as possible.

was greater than in any previous
year and that the troops would be

COOPERATION
Farmers at Picnic Hear Very
Interesting Address

With several hundred persons in at
tendance the annual Farmers picnic
was held at Augustine Pier last
Thursday.
The feature of the day was the adj
dress delivered by Howard Selby,
Manager of the Eastern States Farm
ers' Exchange, of Springfield, Mass.
His subject was "Co-operation in
Buy" and he pointed out to the
farmers the many advantages they
obtained by clubbing together and
buying their seeds, fertilizers and the
like. The farmers from this State
were very rnuch interested in the
topic as this form of buying has al
ready been tried out by the Delaware
farmers and has proven successful.
Mr.. Selby pointed out many additional
advantages.
There was a general good time had
by all those present.

Chamber of Commerce
Wants Signs Erected
Offer Prize for Best Wording -
Ask Town Council to Take
Some Action-lnquiries

"A prize OF 80 has been offered by
the Chamber of Commerce of Newark
for the person submitting the best
wording for signs to be erected at the
entrances of Newark. This action
was taken at we'll attended meeting
held at the firehouse last Thursday
night when the body passed motion
requesting Town Council to place
signs at each end of the town and
also to place speed limit signs and
school signs near the center of Main
street.
The signs that the Chamber would
like to have placed at the entrances
to the town are similar to those that
most all other cities and towns now
have welcoming tourists and bidding
them goodbye and also advertising
the town.
The judges as to the best wording
submitted will be Everett C. Johnson,
R. w. Helm and w. A. Wilkinson.
At the meeting the secretary was
instructed to communicate with the
Town Council in regards to parking
of automobiles on Main street without
lights, the parking of cars too far
from the curb, big trucks blocking
traffic while unloading. crossing lines
for pedestrians at stated intervals,
Baltimore and Ohio gatemen and
numbers on houses.
All these matters have been the
topic of discussion for a long time
past. The matter of parking automo-
biles without lights has been pretty
well broken up lately through the eff
forts of the town officers as several
persons have been fined for this
offense.
Often times automobiles are parked
so far from the curb that they cause a
block in traffic and the Chamber of
Commerce is anxious to have this
practice broken up.
1t is the idea of the members of the
Chamber that time limit Should be
placed on trucks loading and unload
ing when they hold up traffic.
The suggestion for safety crossings
for pedestrians has been suggested to
Council before but no action was
taken on the matter but the members
of the Chamber of Commerce are in
hopes that the Town Fathers will be
able to see their way clear to make
this safety improvement now.
The houses of Newark are number
ed, but it is like a Chinese puzzle to
locate house by number inasmuch
as there seems to be no system to the
present numbering.
The Industrial Committee reported
that several inquiries had been re.
ceived relative to the business of the
town, it's location, etc.
There was no definite time set fol-
the next meeting of the body, this be-
ing left to the President.

TUBERCULOSIS ERADICATION

tuberculosis eradication made
marked progress in Delaware during
the month of July. During the
month a total of 1876 herds were tested
containing 1878 animals. Of this
number 1863 reacted to the test, a
trifle more than 20 per cent. Notwith-
standing this considerable showing of
reactors, the work of retesting in
Sussex County did not show single
reactor during the month. At the
present time, 1920 herds have been
once tested without finding a reactor,
a total of 1890 cattle. The total of
accredited herds in the State at the
end of July was 160, the total num-
ber of cattle fully accredited was 1898.
The total number under supervision
was 1926 herds and 10,558 cattle.
