Commissioner James Foust. He
was chosen because he had no con-
nection with politics in Pennsylvania
and was therefore not amenable TO
influences in that direction.
He married Miss Elizabeth Will
liams. daughter of Robert Williams
president of the Milford National
Bank, and granddaughter of the late
Governor Peter Causey. He attend
ed a convention for the first time two
years ago when at the Republican
State convention in 1908 he nominated
Governor pennewill and Insurance
Commissioner Maull. He seconded
the nomination of State Treasurer
Moore and made a speech in behalf
of Daniel o. Hastings when the pre-
sent judge was named for attorney
general. He supportd Frank H.
Davis when the latter defeated Mr..
Hastings for the attorney general
ship nomination. Last June the de
gree of Doctor of Civil Laws was
conferred upon him by Dickinson
College. He is the youngest man
upon whom that honor was ever given
by Dickinson. With such attain
ments it is not surprising that he
should be regarded as a new element
in Delaware politics, with the sena-
torship as a not unlikely goal. His
brother, Robert B. Vale, is promi-
nent newspaper man, being managing
editor of the evening edition of the
Baltimore Sun.

MEDALS FOR DOVER SINGERS
Peoples Church Choir of Dover to Re-
ceive Valuable Gifts, Sept. I6

The musical director of the
Peoples Church choir, of Dover, has
been notified by DR.. j. Lewis Browne
general musical director for John
Wanamaker, Philadelphia, of the
arrival of the National Competition
Music Festival medals, which the
Dover chorus won in the Easter fes-
tival competition last April. A
meeting of the well-known Dover
chorus will be held at the Peoples
Church Friday evening, September
16, when medals will be formally
presented to each of the sixty sing
ers who went to Philadelphia and
participated in the festival. The
medals are great works of art, made
at the Paris mint under the personal
supervision of Rodman Wanamaker,
| the promoter of the musical compe
tition. While they are worth mucl
more than their intrinsic value t
the singers, it is estimated tha
the actual worth of the prizes tina
will come to Dover will exceed $3.50
The Dover director has invited Mr.
Wanamaker and DR.. Browne O
their personal representative to d
present at the presentation on Frid 4
night, September 16.

STATE TREASURY SHOWING
Figures to September First UnparalelI-
ed in History of State

Dover, Sept. 8.-The books and
accounts of David o. Moore, State
Treasurer of Delaware, make show
ing for the year up to September 1,
which is probably unparalleled in the
financial archives here. In substance
the showing is that the State al
though under extraordinary expense,
has accumulated a balance of
quarter of a million dollars in ad6i-
tion to all its fiscal assets. In the
tabulation made at the State treas
urer's Office here by the accountant
deputy, D. E. Jones, there is a total
in the general fund of S173, no. o5;
and in the school fund of $50, $50. 81;
and in the sinking fund of 81, 2131.2;
which makes a cash total of $685.
064.14. Some of this cash balance
is on deposit in the Farmers Bank
at Wilmington. although most of the
sum is in the Farmers Bank at
Dover. Arrangements are being
made so that deposits can be kept in
both places. The probable reason
that the Farmers Bank gets the
States funds to half is that the
State has a financial interest in the
bank and AZ percentum of the divi-
dends go to the school fund for the
education of the children of the
State. The extraordinary expense
this year has included S25, 900, the
cash already paid to the StatehOuse
commission in prosecuting the work
on the new capitol buildings. In
addition to this, bonds of the State
of Delaware to the amount of S., one
were purchased by the sinking fund.
The State authorities here do not
give much credit to the increase il
State revenue and the present healthy
condition in midyear to the state
revenue and tax commission, which
has been at work for some time dis
trihuting the cost of government ant
increasing some revenues. The tai
from Wilmington brewers, it is ad
mitted. does show some increase
and the telephone transmitter ia,
brings in revenue of $4,000. A
compared to a quarter of a million
dollars, however, this is but a frac
tion. General prosperity and con
sequent increase in the volume o
business from corporations is give
as the chief cause of financial com
fort. 1.-THE receipts from the secre
tary of state for general incorpora
tion business are most gratifying,
said Deputy Treasurer Jones toda
when asked concerning this feature
The states general fund will be in
creased by another IS, 900 or MOI
with the settlements of the clerks {

The Dover Board of Trade has ap-
pointed good roads committee to

with Dover's permanent new streets.
