Frederic William Vile
Services Tomorrow
In La Porte, Ind.
News Commentator
For The Stor Achieved
Notable Career Abroad

Funeral services will be held to-
morrow in La Porte, Ind, for Fred
eric William Vile, g. distinguished
news commentator and a regular
contributor to The Star since 1923.
The body was to be removed to Mr..
Wile's native city for burial at pm.
today.
Mr.. Vile died yesterday morning
at his home, 1918 Sixteenth street
NV, after an extended illness. AL
though in failing health, Mr.. Vile
kept at his newspaper writing, and
his last column appeared IN The Star
on March Is, when he gave up the
work on doctors orders.
The writer is survived by his
widow. the former Ada Shakman, and
son and daughter, Frederic Will
liam Vile, I'd, associated with New
York advertising agency. and Helen
Isabel Vile. Mr.. Vile will be buried
in the family plot in Patton's Gene
terry. No services will be held here.
Notable Record Abroad.
Mr.. Wile's talent as a journalist
began to gain recognition during the
Boer War, which he covered from
London for the Chicago Record. He
later wrote the story of his useful
and eventful life in his autobiog-
raphy. News Is Where You Find 1t. "
At the outbreak of the World War,
Mr.. Vile was representing the Lon
don Daily Mail in Berlin. He re-
fused to leave Germany and claimed
immunity because of his American
citizenship.
German officials had him jailed as
a spy, an indignity for which the
writer later collected $4,000 from the
German government.
After American entry into the war,
he served as a colonel in the mill
tary intelligence. After the World
War, Mr.. Vile became a pioneer in
the news broadcasting field. At the
same time, he remained loyal to the
newspaper profession, and few jour-
nalists of his day could follow up and
report on news events with more
energy and ability.
Fought for d. c. Ballot.
In addition to his autobiography,
which was published in 1889 by
Bobbs Merrill Of indianapolis, Mr.
Vile wrote Men Around the
Kaiser" 1913: THE Assault" 1915;
THE German American Plot" 1915;
Explaining the Britishers," 1918;
THE Life of Emile Berliner." 1886,
and "A Century of Industrial Prog
ress." 1928.
When Mr.. Vile came to Washing
ton in 1920 as head of the Phila-
delphia Public Ledger Bureau, he at
once threw his weight behind the
campaign to win votes for the Dis
trict. He believed it was scan
dalous" that local residents had no
voice in the affairs of the Republic.
That he felt keenly on the subject
was evinced by his comment in a
biographical sketch of himself on
file in The Star library. In the
space devoted to political affilia-
ton" he wrote:
Probably a Democrat, if did not
live in voteless Washington. Only
presidential vote cast, 1896. before
newspaper assignment to Europe, for
Palmer and Buckner."

NEW CIRCULAR
ON PASTURES
State Divided Into Four Pas
ture Districts; Facts on
Pasture Management
DESCRIBES PASTURES

AS a general topic of converse
ton, there's nothing so popular as
the weather. And when is comes
to pasture management on Della
ware farms, the weather definitely
becomes more important than just
a topic of conversation.
ror what might be good pasture
management In lower Delaware
Wou4QnU be worth the trouble of
plowlng the land in the northern
part or the state.
C. E. Phillips, assistant agronom-
ist at the Delaware Agricultural
Experiment Station, has written
the new Extension Service Mimeo
Circular No. 3 which is entitled
Delaware Pastures" Phillips says
that the State might well be divid-
ed into four general districts as far
as pasture production and its prob
lens are concerned. And the new
circular gives facts on pasture
management in these four Della
ware districts.
Among the facts contained in the
10-page mimeo circular on pastures
Phillips has outlined set of seed
ing mixtures to be used by farmers
according to their locations in re-
lation to the four districts. He has
also included full-page map in
the circular to clearly show just
where the four pasture districts
are located
Under the heading, What is
Good Pasture?, Phillips writes
that a good pasture is one that
will supply continuous grazing of
palatable grass from early in the
spring until late in the fall Since
the factors influencing grass pro-
duction are considerably different
from one section of the country to
another, so will the pasture man
agement practices necessary to OBJ
tain good pasture be different In
nearby sections, well-fertilized pas
lures have carried as high as IL
cows per acre for the entire sea
son."

now from Russell E Wilson, Kent

81: 10. The Lord hath brought

2, 5, 6, z. Grace and peace be null
tiplied unto you through the knowl-
edge of God, and of Jesus our Lord,
5. And besides this, giving all dill

individuality of man is no less
tangible because it is spiritual and
because his life is not at the mercy
of matter The understanding of
his spiritual individuality makes
man more real, more formidable in
truth, and enables him to conquer
sin, disease, and death.

OUR TOWN

There are a few places in the
good old U. S. A. besides New York
City, Chicago, and Philadelphia.
People in Maine or California prob
ably have never heard of our town.
But 1 believe that Smyrna has a
great many points of interest. 1t
has grown from a few private
homes at a crossroads to an organ
lied, welI-managed town of APP
proximately twenty-five hundred
people.
For the most part, Smyrna and
it's outlying sections are agricul-
tural, although the town is now
somewhat industrialized with it's
shirt factory, cabinet company, and
hosiery mill. Thornley's Shirt Fac
tory has been a privately owned
business for the greater part Of the
twentieth century and has always
been located at the far western side
of our town, known to the citizens
of Smyrna as Herring Hill or "up
by the standpipe" But the Wilson
Cabinet Corporation is fairly re-
cent addition to the industries of
our town. 1t was started by a
prominent young man who was
born and raised in this locality.
About five years ago he bought the
brick garage on Main Street that
had been closed for several years.
There he started making refriger-
ators for use on the farm. His
business increased and now the
cabinets Of his company are used
by farmers all over the northeast
ern part of the United States. The
hosiery mill was opened three years
ago by Pennsylvania firm. The
opening of it has brought many
new families to make their homes
in Smyrna and has employed many
of our citizens.
A thorough description Of Smyr-
ma could not be given without men
tioning the two banks, the post Of
flee, and the other business agen-
cies. The business section Of our
town is located about half way be-
tween both Commerce and Main
Streets. The older of the two banks
is the National Bank on Main
Street. The Fruit Growers on
Commerce Street was established
later in the nineteenth century. On
the corner Of Main and Commerce
between the two banks, we have
the A. & p. Store and directly
across the street, the American
Store. Down the street from the
latter we have our Post Office.
across from which is our new Town
Office, built during the last year of
the old system Of town council con-
troll. East of the American Store
on Commerce Street there is the
Colonial Hotel where many out-of-
town visitors stay for the night.
A little farther down the street is

management. On Main Street,

Hobby Club

The sixth grade under the direc-

members of a worthy club. This
club meets every Friday afternoon
and they have as their presiding
officers a President, Secretary, and
Treasurer. Each member pays &c
a week which at the end Of the
year is expected to be the funds for
a grand picnic.
Some of their hobbies are knit
ting, sewing and collections of var
ious kinds: as wild flowers, stamps,
movie star pictures, etc. Several
of the boys are interested in max

boats, and other things.
