with beautiful music as an accom-
paniment. These will include "Ben-

GREENWOOD HIGH
SOCCER CHAMPIONS
Smother Newark, To 0, To Win d.
/. A. A. League Diadem

Greenwood High School won the
soccer state championship of the D.
I. A. A. by defeating Newark High
School at Dover last Saturday, by
the score of Z to 0. The game was a
very one-sided affair, with the
Greenwood supremacy always being
in evidence.
The Greenwood team was almost
twice the size of their Newark oppo-
nents, and from the time the game
started there was very little doubt
as to the outcome. Although hope
lessly outclassed Newark tried hard
and after many attempts did sue
coed in getting the ball through the
Greenwood's goal only to lose It on
a penalty.
Greenwood had a flashy team on
the field and every member of the
SQUAD did good work. Porter led in
the scoring and his work on the field
was closely followed by that of Mer-
edith. Captain Lyons gave the best
exhibition for Newark. The work Of
Referee Fitzberger was fine and
caused much favorable comment
from the spectators. The lineup:

Kent and Sussex Filing Fee
Delinquents Are Paying Up

The State Tax Department
in commenting on the collec-
ton of taxes recently, mainly
the filing fee, report that with
very few exceptions, the fees
have been paid with the costs
attached. The work in Sussex
county has been about COM
pleted and with but q few
more cases in Kent county
where the persons failed to
respond, Kent county has also
been pretty well cleaned up.
The tax agents began in ru-
raj New Castle and Whining
ton this week.
The cases being rounded up
this fall are the result of a de-
termination on the part of
some of the taxables that they
would not pay the filing fee.
They are now learning to their
sorrow that the law can, and
will, be enforced.

'In few days The flowers that bloom in the spring tra-la-la, will greet our eyes and the thought of it caused my mind to revert to the spring of 1907" writes A. F. Stowe. of Kodiak, to The Gateway.
 Three of us, Jim Golightly, Tony Lunsford and the writer, were camp ed on Redmond Creek 65 miles south of Fairbanks. We were prospecting.
 We had seen several articles re- lating, that the Smithsonian Institute would pay $1,O00 for the nest and four eggs of that cross between the black daw and the bluejay, commonly called the camp robber".

It is easy when you know how Having been asked about the matter many times; for the information of the public I will relate the process evolved by us, after much theorizing by me and two dismal failures, by my partners.
 Tt is done by cropping the wings, loading one of them down with grub, always during the first days of March, and following it to the nest on snowshoes.

Never try the female l for like all feminity she will only l lead you astray and deceive you In following her she will even allow ycu to overtake, fondle and caress her; but after a six hour mush be- l hind her, you will give it up and feel l and look very much like the picture on a lobster can. But the male, God 1 bless his honest masculine heart, will always lead you swiftly to the covet- | cd prize.
 "The difficulty lies in telling which is the male. Unlike all other spec es of the feathered kingdom where Tn the male always surpasses the female in beauty of form and plum age, pair of these murderous, pet ty larceny, theiving scavengers, look so much alike that the sex is obscur- ed All you know is, that this one $ this, and that one is that.
