what is. perhaps, more important, they
have the most to do in naking the farm

Of Delaware will demonstrate by their at
tendance and enthusiasm that they are
thoroughly in earnest in their desire to

Henry claims that Stuart now wants
to sell the stall back to him at SIS,
thereby realizing a handsome profit
on his investment. The committee was
of opinion that Stuart. who is an en-
ploye OF the city, has no right to own
the stall in the first place. and that
the price he paid for 1t is entirely too
small Stuart, on the other hand, has
paid the money and has the receipt
OF the city for the amount.
Though 1t was strongly inclined to
think that Stuart should be ousted.
the committee decided to put the mat

in her motor car. leaving here moro

Atkinson toured the New England
States.
The drive from New York to Rich
mond was made through New Jersey
Pennsylvania. Maryland and West Vir-
sinia. The last stage OF the Journey
from Charlottesville to Richmond
was by far the most tedious. as the
roads in Virginia were the worst en-
countered on the entire trip In all
other States the machine was easily
able to make 100 miles each day. but
this was found impossible in the Old
Dominion. Perhaps the very worst
roads of all were those found In Gooch-
land county, where's in several places
II was necessary to work on pha
places with hoes before the car could
pass over.

Some months ago the board passed an
order adopting broad tires for wagons

That this move nent has met with favor is
clear from the ;act that similar orders
have been passed by the supervisors OF

The same matter Is being considered In
many other counties of tho State, and 1t
seems likely that wide tires will be gen
