PLANS FOR THE CENSUS.

JUDGING by the high standard fixed in max
y ing appointments so far the administra-
ton at Washington intends to have the census
taken IN an accurate and intelligent manner The
enumeration of inhabitants which, of course, is
important, is really but a small part of the work
of the Census Bureau. The routine duty of the
supervisors, enumerators and clerks must be
done accurately, but the census must also be
given scientific and social value
The director of the census Mr. Durand is
much praised for the high character Of his ap-
pointments, and he is himself well qualified for
his work.
The list of inquiries to be put TO the nhab-
itants is comprehensive and must be made up
with care. This labor calls for expert skill and
knowledge The collecting of statistics of the
economic condition of the country is Of utmost
importance, and experts like Dr. Carver, of Har-
ward, and DR.. Bailey, of Yale, have been called
10 assist in directing this work Director Du-
rand will have about him as a corps of advisers
statistical wizards, lecturers on finance, agricul-
ture and farm administration men with intimate
knowledge of manufactures, editors of techni-
cal and trade papers and, in fact, men familiar
pikh every branch of life that is within the field

bad one were 1t not for the quick ac-

Hardy as the men are, there Is one
enemy they fear. This is grain fever,
kind OF aggravated hay fever, that at

protect themselves from the fever the
men wear large punches Of okum over
their mouths and noses. To one looking
down into the dust filled hold it seems
as II a whole family OF Father Neptunes
were at work with shovels in place OF
tridents.
The grain fever frequently attacks
members OF the boats crew who go
about their work unprotected. Light at
tacks result in nothing worse than dizzi-
ness and a slight headache, but severe
cases end in entire Inconsistencies,
which may last for twelve hours. There
is apparently no bad after effect from
the grain fever, for the sufferer awakes

LOCUST PEST NOT
DUE UNTIL 1914
Annual Tribe Here and vii
Remain Until Killed by
Frost

Almost the whole known world is in
tested at times by a species of insect
known as the cicada, or locust. In many
portions OF the globe these insects come
in such great numbers as 10 make life
almost a burden to man and animal. and
every living thing I'm the way Of vegeta-
ton is devoured within very few hours.
In certain sections Of the United States
there is what is known as the seventeen
year locust. It makes its appearance
every seventeen years.
The last locust year was 1897, and the
next appearance will be in 1914. In 1850
the insects were more plentiful than in
1897. but several severe storms swept the
country, killing many before they had
time to deposit their eggs in the branches
OF the trees, and in 1897 the English spar
rows devoured millions Of the insects, and
IT is believed the number will be greaily
reduced the next time they are due.
The soventeen-year locusts are some-
times called Pharaoh's locusts, because
they make a sound that resembles the re-
heating over and over of that historic
name. The notes or songs are not what
might be termed vocal, as they are pro-
duced by the rapid vibrations Of two very
thin films that cover a small cavity at
the base Of the abdomen. In some local.
tiles the sound produced is somewhat DIFF
ferent from that heard in other sections.
Along streams. and especially aong the
Ohio River. the notes are moro bass.
while on the high lands. and espec.a y
in the mountain regions, the sounds pro-
duced are rnore ehrill
Every season there are few locusts,
and the theory of many persons is that
these are stragglers, or some that have
fallen behind. by oversleeping, or have
awaken year or two too soon.
l.. studying the cicada Il has been learn
ed that those making their appearance
each year do not make the same sound as
those coming every seventeen years.
Those we hear every year have a long,
quivering, drawn out note, and never
seem TO repeat the word "Pharoah
like those We have heard on the dates
above named. They are almost ident cal
in appearance. but they do not come from
the earth until July, while the seventeen

LET'S HAVE A BIG TIME.

i HONgT let us relegate that proposed police
- mems and firemens review, along with
Halloween celebration, TO the musty mound OF
things forgotten. Let's get il started and have
big time in Wilmington the latter part of Oct
ober We had a "home- coming day a few
years ago. 1t was=a success, with hundreds OF
visitors and altogether the city was benefited
by it, But the homecoming day" was not
repeated although the public looked forward to
it and would have welcomed it with more cor
diality than before Let it be revived. Let MS
have a homes gathering right here in Wilmington
around Halloween.
The Mercantile Association has taken the
initiative and the committee to arrange for the
fremen's review and the Halloween carnival
under the auspices of the association could easily
enlarge its scope and membership and arrange
for a homecoming day as well. Wilmington
has sent hundreds and thousands of men out into
the world in which they have achieved promi-
hence in all walks of life. And they never Tor
pet their city or state. The organizations OF
Delawareans in Philadelphia and Norfolk
attest to this reluctance to sever altogether the
ties with home Who has not gone out to the
Pacific Coast in the past few years and has not
met some former Wilmingtonian or Deawarean
whose first inquiry is about the folks IN his
native state?
A fremen's parade and policemen's review
could be arranged for Wilmington without much
trouble To be sure there will be some expense
attached to it and to a homecoming celebration,
but with time taken by the forelock and the
proper effort there is doubt that Wilmington
can plan one of the most pleasant and stirring
times in its history. 1t would be good for Will
mington. for its mercantile and its commercial
life, for its civic pride.
Who is there who does not recall with some
degree OF pleasure the great parades OF fremen
Wilmington had fifteen or twenty years ago,
when the red-shirted volunteers came from cities
miles and miles away to march with the Viii
mington department?
Then there is the opportunity ior water
carnival OF motor boats. Wilmington has scores
of these pleasure craft, and the Brandywine and
Christiana afford a splendid opportunity for a
water pageant. With suitable prizes offered
the vachtsmen would gladly do the rest to pro-
vide for procession Of their gaily-festooned
craft Wilmington has hundreds of automo-
biles, TOO, and the suggestion OF an automooli'
parade along with other features is most timely
and practical. Let's have big time, so that al
can enjoy it.

OPPOSE THE CORPORATION TAx.

HE International Tax Association has called
a convention to be held in Louisville dur
ing the latter part of September. There are 50
nanv different associations that It IS rather diff
icult to keep track Of them.
The Tax Association proposes to urge the
abandonment of the corporation tax. 1t will
favor the income tax amendment to the constitu-
ton. In this it will probably be supported by
many persons who would prefer an income tax
to a corporation tax on the ground that it seems
unfair to single out corporations as marks for
government taxation simply because they are
corporations. If the object of the tax were to
get at great wealth, the income tax would ac-
complish the same purpose. But the intent of
the corporation tax really seems to be to give the
government oversight of the business of the
country.
This state is to be represented at the Louis
vile convention by three members of Delaware's
Commission on Revenue and Taxation. Doubt
less the delegates from this state will find much
to interest them. There remains much to be
done in Delaware in the way Of adjusting and
equalizing taxation. Some progress was made
in the last Legislature toward providing a new
system of adequate taxation for the state. The
little railroads had their State taxes increased,
but the big lines escaped the additional tax levy.
Had an attempt been made to elevate the taxes
upon the big railroads there might have been no
increased revenue provided at all by the Legis-
lature.
Then Delaware may have to deal with the
income tax question in its next Legislature, and
the inheritance tax subject is to come to the
fore. 1t didn't get very far in the last Legis
lature, except as applying to a tax upon colat-
era inheritances We have a corporation tax
in this state, but it will receive some attention
in the next Assembly. The Delaware delegation
should find much for consideration at Louisville

Van Campo is Pure Milk

Van Camps is simply rich Holstein milk,
with two-thirds the water evaporated
There is no sugar in it, no starch, no pre-
servative-nothing whatever but milk
We have evaporating plants in six states,
all located close to our dairies.
The fresh milk from the cows is poured
into reoeptaoles. Then the air is pumped out,
leaving the milk in a vacuum.
Because of that vacuum, a very moderate
heat sets the milk boiling, and evaporates the
water in steam.
Thus we evaporate two-thirds Of the water
to reduce the bulk. 1t is that economy in
shipping Which makes Van Camps cost even
less than raw milk
