A DISTURBANCE I'M SUSSEX.

G USSEX county is shaken from the northerly
- part of North West Fork to the southerly
part of Baltimore hundred Two lawyers of
Georgetown are in paper combat. Mr.. Daniel
J. Layton, Ir., son of DIR. Caleb, and Colonel
Robert c. Houston have locked horns in a fray
that promises to recall the days of long ago when
John +. Salisbury thundered so hard through the
columns of the Delawarean that after an issue all
the catfish in Jones creek est Jones river) were
found to be dead or dying
There has been dispute about alleged extrav-
agance in the management of the county affairs
of Sussex. Colonel Houston, in his bland and
suave manner, at times provolingly irritating
places the blame at the doors of the Hon. Caleb
r. Layton.
Some time ago, much to the profound regret
of his many newspaper friends, DIR. Layton de-
cared that he had stopped talking for the publi,
and it is only fair to say that the columns of the
papers have been duer with the doctor out Of
them.
But if the doctor has stopped, his son hasn't
for young Daniel J. Layton, the handsome and
athletio-oolSing attorney, has letter in the Sus-
sex Journal assailing Colonel Houston TO the ex-
tent of FIVE columns or so, with the use of Ian
guage and vigor that must have startled Col
one Houston and Jared the hair off his finest
colt Dr. Caleb r. Layton, we should think
would feel two inches taller after reading his
sons essay Chip off the old block sure, and
rather large chip at that
But Colonel Houston is a gallant warrior, a vet
eran hero OF many a wordy battle, and young Mr..
Layton had better see that his own scalp is ce.

We hope the Sussex gentlemen will fight
within bounds, but if they do stir up earth
quake. we trust it will demolish that old Sussex
County Court House, that the county will
have TO disgorge some OF its strawberry wealth
10 build new one. That is about the only way,
according to our notion, in which Sussex will be
able to get a new court house.

Taft and Dollar Corn.

Dover Repubncan.
While our Democratic friends are shout
ing themselves hoarse over what they
term the universal distress and hard
times, and are attributing these imagin-
ary conditions to the Republican party's
administration Of affairs. millions OF
American farmers are looking forward
to loO per bushel for their big corn crop.
Taft and Dollar Cornp makes a ringing
campaign slogan for the American farmer.
There's a suspicion that the farmers Of
the country will desire 10 continue
a condition that makes this slogan a
fact.

The fact that it does not work we'll in practice
in some or in many instances is no argument
against the principle of municipal ownership of
public utilities. Municipal ownership, if the peo-
pie of city Uere alive to their interests, if they
took proper concern in public affairs, would be
the ideal manner of conducting public utilities
But when the people are negligent, VIXEN they do
not that suitable men elected TO office,
and when they permit themselves to be prey of
predatory politicians, then municipal ownership
is a bad thing. 1t is merely question of the
community.

All OF which means an additional burden upon
the industrial workers of Germany, who paw from
their hard earnings to keep up the militarism of
the Kaiser. It is no wonder that the Socialist

HUeHEs AFTER THE GAMBLERS.

HREATS of the gambling element in New
York have no terrors for Governor
Hughes who has just ordered tight lid placed
on Saratoga. And, strange to say, the order has
been obeyed. for everything was reported closed
at the resort last evening
The gamblers are coming to find out that
Hughes means what he says and are acting ac-
cordingly. This latest move by Hughes may
cause some misgivngs among the bosses who are
opposed to the renomination of the governor, but
who may have to swallow him as they would a
dose of medicine. They complain that the COS
mopolitan vote of New York would be sure
against Hughes if he were to be renominated but
that vote would be opposed to any candidate that
the Republicans might name. 1t is under the d-
rection Of Tammany, Murphy and Conners.

Years Ago

When Banks were few, and Trust
Companies unknown, it was nec-
essary to keep money about
the house or in the place Of
business, for immediate use even
at the risk of loss by theft or fire;
bur now, with the best banking
facilities on every side, this neoes-
sity no longer exists. Men and
women of good judgment deposit
their funds regularly in the insti-
tuition of their choice. We hope
you have a banking account. II
you haven't come in and open one

Doutzais.

Few shrubs excel the deutzia for
snowy blossoms in the early summer
The flower clusters are usually white,
displayed prominently and with profuse
prodigality, springing from the young
wood of the previous years growth.
The flowers do not last long when cut
but their snowy effect with gracefully
arching sprays is well worth enjoying
Most of the species respond readily to
cultivation in any fairly good soil. when
it is well drained. Many of the best
kinds are hardy even in the New Eng
land states.
Deutzias should be pruned any time
after the leaves have fallen in the late
fall or during the winter. The young
wood of the previous years growth must
not be cut back but the old Towering
sprays should be removed and weak
spindling wood and decrepit branches
cut out. The plants appear to be re-
markably free from the attacks of in
sect pests.
Deutzia gracilis, a native of Japan,
is low neat growing shrub seldom over
two feet and a half high, with branches
slightly arching from which panicles of
white blossoms are abundantly produced.
1t comes into bloom the first week III
June. 1t is well adapted for planting in
the foreground of tall shrubs of similar
habit and for massing and grouping at
the foundations of buildings where tall
shrubs cannot be used. This is one of
the easiest shrubs to force into bloom in
a greenhouse.
DeutZia paryafora is native of
northern China and the AMOR country.
1t is perhaps one of the hardest species
and comes into bloom a week or so aft
er the gracilis.

PARADISE FOR OUAcKS.
Free Play in Sale of Patent Medicine in
England


Great Britain is the happy hunting
ground of the medical quack, if one can
believe member of the Chemists Asso-
citation of London. He is quoted in
Derrick's British Report as saying that
two years ago the annual sale of pro-
prietary medicines in Great Britain
amounted to $40000.0O0.
In the United States and in most Eu-
ropean countries some legislation either
exists or has been attempted to limit or
to stop the traffic in secret remedies. In
England, based on the principle of nom
interference, absolute free play is given
TO it. 1t has been found expedient for
the safety of the public to regulate the
sale of poisonS, but patent medicines
curiously enough were exempt from the
provisions of the law, a privilege which
they enjoy together with legally qualified
practitioners.
la most countries the dealing in medi-
cinal drugs and chemicals is reserved
only to persons qualified by training,
studies and examination-that is, to
pharmacists. In England, by a curious
misunderstanding of the functions of a
pharmacist, he is recognized by law
merely as poison seller" and any one
who pleases may supply the public with
medicines the identity or purity or Their
apeutic value of which he may be abso-
lutely ignorant, and by the simple de-
vice of packing them as a medicine and
keeping the composition secret he is able,
by means of advertisement. to substitute
himself for competent and qualified med
ical and pharmaceutical service.

EGG-SHApED HEADS.
Fashle1abie in the New Hebrides-How
They Are Secured.

4ney Are Secured.
The egg-shaped heads of some of the
natives Of Malekula. in the New
Hebrides, were once thought TO be natur-
ally eonical. For that reason scientific
men decided that the Malekulans were in
the lowest rung of the human ladder.
Later It was found that the conicaI
heads were produced as the Chinese
women distorted their feet, by binding
them in infancy. The egg-shaped head
Is still fashionable in Malekula, where
some extraordinary results are achieved.
a conlcai head retreats from the fore
mead IN such q manner that one is
amazed to know the owner of this re-
markaole profile preserves his or her
proper senses, such as they are l could
not near, however, that the custom was
supposed TO affect the intellect in any
way.
The conical shape is produced by wind
ing strong sinnet cord spirally about the
heads of young babies and tightening the
coils from time to time. A piece of
plated mat is first put on the head and
the cord is cooled over this, so as to give
It a good purchase. The crown of the
head is left TO develop in the upward
and backward fashion that is so much
admired.

She had normally shaped head her
self, and'it seemed that she had suffered
by her parents neglect of this important
matter, for she was married to a man
who was of no particular account. A
young girl who was standing beside her
had evidently had more careful moth
er, for her head was almost sugarloaf
shaped. 1t is interesting to know that
this well-brought-up young woman has
