NO SECOND PLACE

Federal Judge George Gray would not
under any conditions accept the Demo
cratic nomination for Vice President.
A definite announcement to this effect
was made by former Congressman L. Irv'
ing Handy, who will make the speech
at Denver placing the Judge in nomina'
ton for the Presidency, which task he
performed four years ago. When Mr..
Handy, who is welI-known lawyer,
was asked regarding the suggestion that
Judge Gray be Bryan's running mate, he
said:
"Judge Gray would not consider the
nomination of Vice. President on the ticket
with Mr.. bryan or with any other Presi'
Dental candidate. If the Denver con-
vention should nominate him for this Of.
fee he would Immediately decline the
honor, and somebody else would have
to be named. The Judge would look
upon the Office of Vice-President as q
place with all of the deprivations OF a
convent and none of the consolation of
religion"

PROSPECT FOR BIG PEACH CROP

The biggest peach crop of the last ten
years is the forecast made BY those in
terested in Delaware orchards. From
present indications the peach crop of this
section will be extremely large; and un-
less some unforeseen danger appears, this
years crop will be the largest since the
yellows and San Jose scale created so
much damage on the peninsula. Those
interested are waiting impatiently for the
figures compiled annually by the railroads.
Each year the railroads send men
through the peach sections OF Maryland
and Delaware to approximate the guam.
tity of peaches expected, go that provis
ion for hauling them can be made.
While 1t is about the time for these fig
ures to appear, they have not yet been
made public. 1t is reasonably certain,
canned goods men say, that the crop will
be big one, notwithstanding that the
June drop is not yet over. In fact, it lie
now about at the height of the season for
the June drop. The large number of
peaches remaining OH the trees and the
healthy appearance of the fruit, however,
are pointed out as an indication that
peaches will be plentiful.

THEY SHOULD ACT

Every little country village has
an ambition TO become a trade
center and a boom city, with no
special alnatural features or geogra-
phical advantages. Under such
conditions what is most needed
is some enterprise on the part of
its local capitalists. They must
make the first advance in the un-
certain field of development.
They must capitalize small fac,
tories and see that they are kept
employed. When the local busi-
ness is finally developed and
proves to the world that they are
successful, then outside enter
prises will be sure to step in and
enjoy your prosperity with you.
Just like a fellow who finds a
favorite fishing hole and catches
fish, and all the other fishermen
who see that he is catching will
drop their hooks right by the side
of the lucky fisherman. The
business men of any town should
stop talking and hoping for
others to do something for the
town. They should get together
themselves and prove to the
world that they have a money
making town. No outsider will
want to fish in our swimming
hole until we prove that they can
catch fish.

 the fight for better game and fish laws
 Since that time he has struggled to &C., complish that purpose until the senti- ment grew so strong that the last Legislature passed the present game and fish law, which he prepared, and unanimously elected him Game and Fish Commissioner For the first eight or ten months, without any assistance from the State, and at his own expense. he organized the Game and Fish De- partment and put the law in operation.
 But few days ago the books, accounts and vouchers of his department were checked up by one of the State Exam iners of Public Accounts. and they were found correct, and a surplus in the | State Treasury to the credit of the de- ] partment of about S20,000.
