MAY NOT FORM
AN EXCHANGE
Farmers Down the State
AbanGOl Project Of a
New Organization

DOVER. Aug. 26.--Although people in
and out OF Delaware are interested in the
project, there Is a probability that the
produce exchange project may be aban-
doned.
The reason is given here. although all
the leading farmers and agriculturist ex-
perts are reticent about It. that Della
ware farmers VIII not work together.
There is feeling OF independence per-
meating the whole State and while many
of the farmers have now come to the
point where they see the wisdom Of or
ganizing, there are just enough on the
outside to break 1t up.
Five reasons are given as to why the
produce exchange matter should be TAX
en- up without delay.
First. to secure a wide distribution OF
Delaware's bumper fruit and market
crops. To see to that a city where there
is glut is passed by with the days
shipments to some more desirable place;
and to see. also. that the distant point
offering the highest price that day and
the quickest returns shall be patronized.
Second, to establish a central station
and cold storage rlant where products
may be held until low prices give way
to higher prices and congested markets
are succeeded by open and anxious mar
kets.
Third, 10 secure cooperation not only
in selling crops. but I'm buying seed and
phosphate and securing the lowest ship.
ping rates for the same
Fourth. to seek out city agencies oi
commission houses only that pay prompt
/ ly and make true returns.
Fifth. to provide financial assistance
in improving farms and improving th'
public roads over which the farmer mus
transport every pound or bushel of pro
duce he can produce; to get more boa
lines.

HISTORY TELLS
OF DESERTERS
e Delaware Soldiers Left

at BrandyWine

Special to THE EVENING JOURNAL.
DOVER, Del. Aug. 26-In singing the
praises of the sons of Delaware who
so valantly fought for their country
in the Revolutionary War, the histor-
ians and Revolutionary Society prob
ably omit a choice bit of history that
has just been disclosed by the re-
searches being made here by the De-
partment of Records of Delaware.
The bit of history shows that in the
famous old David Hall regiment, there
was one fighting company, commanded
by Joseph David. captain. who was
assisted by Daniel Cannon. lieuten-
ant; David Newman, second lieuten-
ant; and James Newman. ensign.
This was on August "a. when the
state of the regiment was taken. Later
it is shown that this company con-
sited of the foregoing officers and
twenty-three privates, 'all of whom
deserted in the Battle of the Brandy
wine September II. 1777."
Here was the fatal twenty-three
again. This time it stood for the
number of men who evidently thought
discretion the better part of valor or
/ that "he who fights and runs away,
may live to fight another day"
! At any rate, there was no payroll
made out for this valiant twenty-three
after that. Their whereabouts remains
enshrouded in mystery.

ing the records for the department.
offers amelioration for the "rear-end
valour" displayed by Captain David's
company in the statement that there
was not much wonder the twenty
| three we're driven to desertion, for
/ only a while before that, at Trenton,
and again in the Jersey campaign, the
/ Delaware troops, brave men that they
were, found themselves thrust in the
| fore of all battles and compelled to
do the brunt of the fighting. It was
because of this that Colonel John Has
let's famous regiment was literally cut
to pieces at Princeton.

copyright, 1908. by T. C. McClure.l
After Deacon Grafton received his
legacy he went back OF his consent to
his sons marriage with Nellie. daugh-
ter of the Widow Jordon.
1.-THE thing must stop at once. Elias"
he said. "She is not the girl for you
to marry even If you were ready for
the serious step Of matrimony. de-
sire you to so owe to the Widow Jor-
don's this evening and emphatically
announce that there can be nothing
further between you and her daugh-
ter"
The son respectfully but stubbornly
refused to do any such thing. There
was more talk. but 1t left both men
firm. and the result was that Elias
left the paternal roof and took up his
residence with an uncle. or course he
called at the Widow Jordon's with the
news. Miss Nellie felt hurt and hu-
INFLATED and shed tears. but her moth
er had no tears to shed. She tossed
her head like a war horse. and there
was an edge to her voice as she said
to the young man:
The Eureka sentinel. [volume] (Eureka, Nev.) 1902-current, 1909-04-17

ELIAS, a Jordon Is as good as q
Grafton any day In the year and may
be a little better. II you want 1t all
of with Nellie. just say the word and
don't beat about the bush. She isn't
dying to marry you or any n else"
But | am dying to marry her. and
we will call on the minister tonight II
you say So" was the answer.
"No: well wait awhile. I've seer
men like your father before. and !
have seer them come down of their
high horse"
Two nights later Elias "sat up with
Nellie until near midnight. Nellie's
mother sat up" In the darkness OF
her room and made notes. One of the
notes was to the effect that a human
figure closely resembling Deacon Graf
tons was sneaking about the yard and
trying to peer into a side window. She
was q woman who didn't have to be
hit with a potato masher to take a
hint. Next day she drove over to Ely
ria. and after buying a bear trap at a
hardwood store she tool it to a black
smith and had him blunt the sharp
teeth with a hammer. She also learned
from him how to set 1t. When she
reached home the trap was placed in
the barn.
Word was sent to Elias not to come
to the house for three nights. but n
light was left burning In the sitting
room each night until midnight. From
her aerie In the second story the wild
ow waited and watched. and that same
human form appeared for half al hour
each night. Then she vas ready for
it. When Elias came ON the wings of
love the trap was set and secretly
placed beside the rosebush. 1t wasn't
a rose without Il thorn. On the contra

ing into 1t to get at the side window
some one had left many bits Of gray
cloth. There was also a larger and
sharper thorn waiting to mature.
The hour was IL o'clock, and Miss
Nellie had Just answered that she
guessed Thanksgiving day was as
good day as any other to get married
on when a long drawn yell was heard
under the window outside. At the
same moment the mother came down
stairs with a lighted lantern in hand
and said:
Keep your seats. children. It's only
a cat. and I'm going outside to talk
with him. He's yelling as II he was In
pain. but he won't be hurt much"
Deacon Grafton had stepped into the
widows bear trap as he sought to get
his a to a window. Had the teeth
not been blunted they would have gone
to the bone Of his leg. AS 1t was, he
was held fast, and the pinching was
anything but pleasant. The widow
found him lying on the grass and try
ing to loosen the trap. and she placed
the lantern where the light fell full on
his face and sat down beside him and
said:
