S, M. Morgon, John B. Hutton, A. NJ.
DAILY, Rev. Joseph Brown Turner, J. P.
Holland, John G. Townsend, 7. N. Raw
lins.
Officers Of this board for one year were
chosen as follows:
President, Rev. A. S. Mowbray; vice.
president. T. N. Rawlins; secretary,
Rev. John NJ. Artere; treasurer, R. S.
Loomis.
A state headquarters committee, the
duties of which are executive and financial
during the interim between meetings of
the board Of directors, was constituted as
follows:
Rev. A. s. Mowbray, NJ. N. Willetts,
A. NJ. DAILY, T. N. Rawlins, Rev. William
Temple.
This committee will meet in few day.
and organize for the effective prosecution
of workepf the league.
Rev. John NJ. Arters, who since March
|, 1908, has been district superintendent
of the peninsula counties of Maryland
and Delaware, was unanimously elected
state superintendent for Delaware.
Beginning July next the new order
OF things adopted at the meeting yester-
day will go into full Effect, and it is ex-
pected that the work in Delaware will be
prosecuted with renewed energy because
of plans put in force at yesterdays meet
ing.
Special attention will, Of course, be
given to the new campaign in rural New
Castle county, but agitation OF the no-li-
cense issue will be vigorously kept alive
in every part of the State as we'll.

LETTER TO G. v. BEVERLEY
MiddIetown, Del,

Dear Sir; Suppose you are growing an
acre or two of cabbages; where'll you get
your seed? The price OF Long Island seed
il. 50 lb; the Germans send over tons Of
"cabbage-seed" 50clb.
Most gardeners buy the German seed /;
of course, you know they wouldn't pay 81
for cabbage-seeds, when they could get it
for Soc. And that's how people do about
everything.
Careful people buy the smallest package
of each, count.out 100 seeds of each, and
grow them week in hot-house; then
count their plants. They've got 100 Long
Island plants and 10 German.
How, do you think, the Long Island
cabbage seed-growers account for that?
They'll tell you the German seed is
mostly turnip, which looks like cabbage,
but isn't.
Why didn't the turnip.seed groW2 The
Germans had killed it, baked it. What
did they bake it foI? Dead seeds tell no
tales.
There's a whole business in killed seeds.
A dealer can get all the dead seed be
wants, that look like cabbage and some-
thing else; he can mix 'em With actual
seeds, pound to an ounce, and sell you
your seeds at whatever price you like to
pay and whatever profit he likes to take.
The same with paint; you can paint
with whitewash or paint, poor paint or
good; you can pay your painters So day
for brushing it on. But whitewash is
whitewasb, poor paint is poor paint. and
good is good.
You'd better buy good, and pick-out
your good by the number of gallons it
takes to cover job least gallons, best
paint; least gallons, least cost by So gal
Ion; least gallons, most wear.
Better buy Long Island seeds, but try
'em first. Better buy Devoe, but try il
first. Yours truly
