WILLIAM MUELLER

Death claimed one of Springfield IS
best known citizens, Sunday morning
when William Mueller passed away
suddenly, of heart failure, at his
home there. Mrs. Mueller noticed
him breathing heavily in his sleep
and he died at $3.50 o'clock, withuot
waking. He had not been i'll, and
retired, the previous evening, appar-
emily enjoying his usual good health.
Deceased was past "a years of age,
having been born in New Ulm, March
81, 1865. Later, he learned the cigar
makers trade, and was employed by
the Burg Cigar Co., here, for IL years
before removing to Springfield and
establishing a cigar factory there, in
1889. 1892, Mr.. Mueller erected the
building now occupied by the Spring
field postoffice, and conducted his
cigar factory successfully for many
year. A few years before discontin-
uing the enterprise, a gift shop was
added.
Deceased was a lifelong ardent
democrat, and received the appoint
ment of oil inspector form the late
Governor John A. Johnson, upon the
latter's assuming the duties of chief
executive of Minnesota. In 1914, Mr..
Mueller was appointed postmaster of
Springfield by the late President
Woodrow Wilson, serving a total of
about nine year, in that capacity,
and retiring from active life, at the
close Of that period He was we'll
known, not only in Springfield, but
throughout Brown county, where he
had many friends.
Deceased was married to Miss En-
ma Hauenstein, his surviving widow
at st. Paul, November %, 1890, and
to this union, two sons were born,
namely Richard j. Mueller, assistant
postmaster of Springfield, and Nor
man Mueller, who died about eight
years ago. A brother, Albert w.
Muelled of Huntington Park, Calf.
and sister, Mrs. Herman Won Essen.
of LIE Sueur, survive. Funeral serv-
ices were conducted at Springfield
Community church, by Rev. E. H.
Knehans, Tuesday afternoon, and
burial was made in the City cemetery
there.-Brown County Journal.

WALK ON LEFT SIDE,
GOOD SAFETY RULE

The Legislature did not adopt the
proposed amendment to the traffic
law requiring pedestrians on the high
ways to walk on the left side. 1t
is a good safety rule, nevertheless.
Persons walking on the right side
cannot see approaching vehicles, and
the driver often does not know what
the pedestrian is going to do. If the
driver turns out to pass them, he
runs the risk of collision with cars
coming the other way. If he cannot
turn out, the pedestrian may be hit.
Walking on the left side enables
the pedestrian to see approaching
cars and protect himself. In refus-
ing to enact this rule into law, the
Legislature did not mean to imply
that it was not a good rule, but the
members simply felt that matters of
this kind can be handled better by
education than by passing law"

COMPLETE WOMENS PRISON !
At GREENBANK This FALL
HONOR SYSTEM WILL BE IN
USE AT THE NEW PRISON
To Be One of the Most Up-to-Date
Structures of it's Type and
Size in the Country

The Honor System, similar to
the plan now in use at the New
Castle County Workhouse, will be
invoked at the new Women's Pris-
on at Greenbank, when it is ready
for occupancy sometime during
the Fall. The system in the wom-
ems institution vii be entirely I'M
der the control of natrons, Ward
en- Elmer ]. Leach, of the New
Castle County Workhouse, stated.
The opening of the Women's Pris-
on in the Fall will be the realiZa-
tion of a dream OF at least 20
years in this State. The need of
better women's quarters has par
ticularly been stressed by Warden
Leach for some years past. The
quarters to which the women will
move, will be a marked contrast
to the present ones. The women S
building g-one of the most up-to-
date structures of its type and
size in the country-is practically
completed now. It is a fine look
ing structure, just up the road
from the Workhouse. On the first
floor of the structure are located
the matron's office and various
rooms, the visiting room, kitchen,
pantry, and room for the auto
matte refrigerating unit The
dining-room is also on the first
floor and will have a seating ca
pacity of so persons. If necessary
however, it can be increased to
100, there being an average popu-
lation of 30 women prisoners. The
walls are of glazed brick with tile
flooring. There win be no guards
at the institution, the institution
being entirely under the control of
matrons. Most of the work of
the institution, such as cooking
and the like, will be done by in
mates. The women will have a
library of their own, with an in
mate as librarian on part time. A
recreation yard is being planned
for the women and will be 80
feet deep by 325 feet wide. It will
have ten foot wire fence. The
building is "a feet by 43 feet and
has a bubbler fountain system A
beautiful roadway to the building
is now under construction Upon
its completion, a little work vet to
be done in the building, and on
furnishing the building will be
completed. Persons who have al
ready inspected the structure deem
it as an unusually fine one and are
highly optimistic over the future
possibilities.

located on high ground overlook
ing the head of the Chesapeake
Bay and the North East River and
also has a commanding view of
the entrance of the Susquehanna
River as it flows into the waters
of the bay. The camp with its
924 acre-tract was made possible
through the generosity of General
and Mrs. T. Coleman DUPONT, and
was given as a memorial to their
son, Eleuthere Irenee DUPONT, who
was member of Scout Troop No.
212, of Wilmington. The camp
now consists of IA cottages, mus
cum hall, field hospital, admins
tration building, mess hall, which

now housed in special quarters and
their activities are under the di-

camps, which join the camp where
the smaller boys are quartered,
house the larger youths.

CAS- years go by and you be-

you will appreciate the days you
have spent here. Work hard, play
hard and live right, and teach 9TH
chs to do the same and you will

This admonishment was given by
Governor c. Douglass Buck, to the
163 Boy Scouts of the Whining
ton council, in camp at Comp Rod
ney, Md, last Wednesday evening
in the mess hall, and followed the
annual inspection of the camp site
by the Governor, members of the
executive board of the council and
representatives of the press of
Wilmington. The remarks of The
Governor were received with an
outburst of applause and yells by
the Scouts who also gave him and
his party an ovation when they
landed on shore from the private
yacht of Frank V. DUPONT, chair
man of the camp committee. The
yacht anchored about 200 yards
from shore and the party was
transferred to motor boats and
taken ashore amid a thunderous
ovation which included the firing
of the Governors salute of seven
teen guns, the fanfare of bugles
and the rolls of the drums, the
clicking of moving picture cam
eras and the exploding of fire
works by the scouts. AS soon as
the Governors party hove in sight
an escort of two canoes filled with
scouts set out to meet him. Once
ashore they were greeted by Amos
r. Shields, scout executive of the
Wilmington Council, and the ofic-
ial greeting to the party was de-
livered by Charles Sonny" Ken
worthy, of 1927 Harrison street,
Wilmington, who is a member of
the Pioneer unit. In his greeting
to the Governor and his party,
Scout Kenporthy said, 1--WE, the
scouts of Camp Rodney welcome
you. In our estimation it is the
best camp of all and we would
like you to think so to. Our
friends have made it possible for
US to participate in activities
which we enjoy. We have splen-
did group of leaders who aid US to
learn the ways of the camp. The
Scouts of Camp Rodney will CO.

have made this camp possible to
maintain its present high stand

iliarly known to the boys, lined up
the members of his staff and af-
ter a round of introductiOns, took
the party on tour of inspection
of the camp, which houses the five
units composed of the pioneer and
ranger camps and the camp for
smaller boys. After the inspection

Comparative Yields from One Tenth Acre Plat.

HERE is proof that potato yields
can be increased and improved by
the right seed treatment.
c. E. Randolph of Aroostook
County, Maine, discarded the old
fashioned, time-consuning soak
method of seed treatment in favor
of Semesan Bel instantaneous dip.
He not only saved time and labor
in disinfecting his seed but he
obtained an increase in yield over
untreated seed of 2I barrels per
acre, as pictured above
Even the best seed often carries
some disease. Writing about certi-
fed seed in the american Pyoducc
