SMYRNA'S SUBSCRIPTION LIBRARY
For One Dollar Year Over 5000 Volumes are
Available Including Works of Fiction
From Our Most Popular Writers.


At the recent meeting of the trus-
tees of the Smyrna Library, the men,
bers of the Board resolved themselves
into a committee of the whole" to
increase by personal effort, the num-
Der of annual subscribers to two hun
dred. 1t ought not to be difficult
the number formerly far exceeded that
limit. Our people desire a library.
Here is one of more than 5000 vol
umes, of well-selected, treating all
subjects. History of all countries,
ancient and modern, and of almost all
very prominent characters; Travels all
over the world; Poetry in abundant
variety; Science in its varied branches;
Philosophy, Theology and Criticism
and Fiction in liberal supply, embrac-
ing the best authors, old and more re-
cent. OF the latter a regular system
attic supply is secured, bringing to
our readers every month the best of
the latest publications of this popular
class. All this is available at one
dollar per year. 1t is available simply
because years since, liberal minded
men contributed the funds to estqb-
lish this institution for the public
good. The advantages it offers far
exceed those of private clubs, which
supply fiction alone. Here is to be
had the same latest novels, and in
addition the splendid collection of
soliu literature; while the cost is no
higher. AS business proposition is
not the matter we'll worth considering?
And is it not we'll to sustain the social
facilities and credit of ones own
town? The young ladies and young
men who are occupied during the day
have been especially considered. The
| library room is now held open until
$50 o'clock p. m. in order that they
may visit it, aud may, if they wish,
use it as a reading room after the
places of business close. 1t is desired
to draw their especial attention to this
arrangement now, at the beginning
of the season of longer and cooler
evenings. Two cents week! Cigars
cost much more, yet here - open tC
those who will, much pleasure anC
great profit. To all our people let us
say "You need the library and the Ii
brary needs you" Indeed it abso
lutely must have your patronage. 1
cannot be sustained without it. Tn
room is opened on Tuesday and Fri
day evenings from until 8. 80 o'clock
and will open more frequently whel
funds permit. SMYRNA LIBRARY Asso

FARMERS TROUBLED OVER
GETTING CORN HARVESTED
QUESTION OF OBTAINING HELP A SERIOUS
ONE FOR MANY FARMERS TO MEET.
Most Farmers Are Obliged to Pay Sl25 a Day
For Labor and Some Are Demanding Three
Cents BusheI For Iiusking Corn.

There is no more serious question
that cOnfronts the farmers at the pres
ent time than the question of help and
the situation grows worse from year
to year. The time was when help was
plentiful and the farmer experienced
little or no trouble in getting men
whenever he wanted them. Things
are different now days and most of
this help has drifted either to the cities
and railrord centres, or they have
grown indoleut and worthless with no
desire FOR a good job. The conse-
quence is that the farmer is obliged
to bid for his hire at S1.2j day, and
this figure with the small profits ac-
cruing to most tillers of the soil, has
caused many to abandon the farm and
enter other pursuits. Some attribute
the condition of things to the Della
ware Railroad, which is making large
demands for day laborers in construct
ing the double track system down the
state.
The Delaware State Board of Agri-
! culture is endeavOriug to meet the stu
alton by using every means at com
mand to induce foreign help to settle
in Delaware, but so far there has been
little progress made in this line. An
other year, however, may bring about
more hopeful condition. Help is
especially needed now in the cutting
and harvesting of the corn crop, and
those who have not labor saving g
machinery, are experiencing con-
siderable trouble. Farmer ohm Mensch
of near Dover, did not parley with the
question long, when the time came
for him to cut off his corn crop, but
went to Philadelphia, where he en-
plOyed seven Italians at seventy-five
cents a day and board. He found
them very willing and excellent work
ers. Help has also been imported by
James York, Robert Darrah anC
others with satisfactory results
James F. David of Thoroughfart
Neck, used the men of Fleming
Landing cannery to cut off his corn
during the days the cannery was no
running.

BISHOP COLEMAN BACK FROM TRAMP.
Covered Over zoo Miles on Foot in the States
of Virginia and North Carolina.

Rt. Rev. Leighton Coleman, bishop
of the Episcopal Diocese of d elaware
returned to his home IN Wilmington
Wednesday night after a two weeks
tramp through Virginia and North
Carolina. The bishop left Whining
ton Saturday, September 10, for his
annual fall tramp. AS has been his
custom for years on such occasions he
did not tell any one where he was
going or when he would be back He
arrived home, however, a few minutes
before 10 o'clock Saturday night, and
it vas a great surprise to the members
of his household when he walked in.
The bishop said he spent the time in
tramping through Virginia and North
Carolina. During the time he covered
about 200 miles on foot. He did not
meet with any one during his travels
who knew him. The bishop stated
that he met with many curious ex-
periences.

ByRNE'S SUCCESSOR APPOINTED.
John P Nields Appointed the Place Made Va
cant By William N. Byrne's Resignation.

President Roosevelt Monday ap-
pointed John p. Nields, United States
Attorney for the District of Delaware.
He was endorsed by Senator Ball,
who represents the anti-Addicks fac
tion and succeeds William Michael
Byrne, prominent leader of the Ad-
dicksites. Senator Alice has urged
the selection of Walter H. Hayes.
The two Delaware Senators were un-
able to agree on candidate for Dis
trict Attorney. They called on the
President last Thursday while Mr..
Addicks, who had accompanied them,
remained at his hotel. The President
used plain and harsh words in talking
with the Senators. He told them he
was tired of the whole Delaware mud
die and, as they could not agree on the
distribution of patronage he would
choose some other method of deter
mining his appointments IN that state.
The President sent for Judge George
Gray, who is Democrat, and a form
er member of the Anthracite Coal
Strike Commission, and asked his ad-
vice regarding the District Attorney
ship. He recommended Mr.. Nields
and said his selection was approved
by the State bench and bar. The
naming of Mr.. Nields is not regarded
as likely, however, that the President
intends to favor the anti-Addicks
people, but that he proposes to make
appointments in the state on his own
motion.

Three BegOnias Taken from the Porch of Mr..
Alir,d L. tudsOnA Sr Last Friday Night.
Flower thieves have been about the
past week and have much annoyed resi-
dents in different parts of the town.
During Friday night three handsome
begonias that were much admired were
stolen from the residence of Mr.. Alfred
L. Hudson, Sr., at the corner Mt. Yer
non and Market Streets. One was on
the front porch and two on the side
porch. The theft included not only
the flower, but the iardinieres in which
they were placed. The loss is quite an
annoying one to Miss Susie Hudson
who took great pride in their culti-
walton. Earlier in the week two hand
some jardinieres were stolen from the
porch of Mr.. Joseph L. Beckett on
South Main Street. 1t is to be hoped
that the miscreants will be caught and
dealt with to the fullest extent of the
law.

ALL OVER THE HOUSE.
Devices Which Lessen the Labors OF
Housewives.

Men i'm their places of business
adopt each new invention as it
comes out regardless of first cost,
knowing that economical energy
and increased output will more than
compensate. \ woman nearly al
WAYS thinks with regard to this or
that kitchen appurtenance, ooh, it
will do" and so long as she can
make it do by any means whatever
she will make no change.
For instance, there is a new kind
of kitchen cabinet which saves steps
to perfectly wonderful extent. 1t
has zinc lined bins for flour and
sugar, wonderful little pigeonholeS
for favorings, receptacles for the
rolling pin and other .needfuls and a
snow white pastry board which lets
down from somewhere or other in
the most surprising manner all
ready for the mixing of dough. Set
a housewife down in the midst OF
the Sahara desert, and if provided
with that cabinet and a gypsy fire
she could turn out any number of
culinary dainties. Nevertheless here
in civilization she will probably per-
sist in gathering her materials for a
pie from the four corners of the
kitchen, in reaching up to the top
shelves of the dresser and in run
ming up and down the cellar stairs.
Another device invaluable for
those who do washing at home and
costing but a few dollars will
cleanse in five minutes whole tub
full of soiled clothing. How many
backaches this alone might save!
When will housewives learn that
true economy is often injudicious
expenditure?
