GRAPE CULTURE PAYS. :

The grape growers of Delaware are
highly elated over the results secured
this year. Splendid fruit was grown in
beautiful and marketable clusters where
other fruits were wilted down by the long
drouth. Grapes, well titled and cared
for, have shown unusual growth, even on
places where no attempts have been
made hitherto to raise this highly es-
teemed fruit.
John w. Davis, on his farm south oi
Dover, has grown Niagaras weighing one
pound and one and a quarter pounds to
the bunch Concords, the rich and stand
ard grapes, were grown to a size of from
a half pound to full pound to the bunch
The punches are symmetrical and beauti-
ful. The grapes were packed and shipped
in small handle baskets and sold at the
shipping stations to buyers for ten cents
a three pound basket for the esNiagaras and
eight and half cents for the Concords.
The faith in grape growing has been so
strengthened that many farmers are pre-
pairing to set out vinyards or have already
done so. They include DR.. H. N Marvin,
"A. A. Owen, E. 7. Hipwell fifteen acres)
Mrs. f. H. Ames Give acres), ex-Chan-
cellor John r Nicholson (ten acres, A.
G. Massey Give acres), E. G. Packard
tive acresJ, ]. Frank Moore, one of the
leaders there in grape growing, is pre-
pairing to set out an additional vinyard.

A SMALL-MINDED POLICY.

We fail to understand the motive
which prompts a virulent eruption
of ill-humor now and then against
the dupont Boulevard. True, this
ill-humor is confined to a very few
persons, but the mystery is that any
one should take delight in attempt
ing to belittle a project that promises
such substantial and permanent
benefits to the whole State. The
main objection of these envious
ones-if envy it is that moves them
is that General DUPONT wants a
right of way through the farm lands
over which the boulevard must
pass. 1t is an outrage, they seem
to think, that he should seek right
of way across property whose
owners are too greedy to sell at a
reasonable price, and too short
sighted to see that even the gift Of
right of way would be the biggest
investment they could possibly
make of the land needed for boule-
ward purposes. Build the boulevard
if you must, they say, but don't
takeany land for the purpose. Make
omelets if you please, but don't
break any eggs in doing it.
And there seems to be a very
fever of fear in certain quaters lest
General DUPONT may profit a dol
lar or two by his unprecedented
generosity to the State. As we
have said, we cannot understand
such a narow-minded ,short-sighted
and bigoted policy, and we trust
we never shall be able to under
stand it for to understand a thing
like that would imply some sort
of fellowship with it, a condition
to which we hope we shall never
descend. The Star.

TO PREVENT CHINESE FLOODS.

The present flood in the Yangtze River,
in China, with the frightf1l loss of life
and property which it has caused, makes
especially timely the recent action of the
American Red Cross in sending to China
an expert engineer for the purpose of
studying the best means of preventing
| the floods which repeatedly have caused
such awful devastation in that country
| This engineer, Mr.. c. d. Jameson, reach
ed China in July, and has been given a
cordial welcome and all necessary assist
ance by the Chinese government. As Mr..
Jameson formerly lived sixteen years in
China his familiarity with customs and
conditions gives him thorough prepara-
ton for his present important mission.
BY the terms of its federal charter the
Red Cross is charged with the duty of
trying to prevent as well as relieve dis
tress caused by disasters. In this in
stance the salary and travelling expenses
of Mr. Jameson are borne by the Red
Cross, while the Chinese government
provides for all other expenses. Most of
the great Chinese disasters which have so
frequently shocked the world have been
in the form of floods, or famines resulting
from the destruction of crops by floods
The terrible famine for the relief of whose
sufferers the world was called upon to give
last winter was caused in this way It
would seem that here is one of the most
striking opportunities ever afforded for
demonstrating the value of preventive as
compared to relief measures.

SIXTY YEARS OF Welded LIFE.

AT the home of her daughter, Mrs. c.
H. Sullivan, No. 332 Mt. Vernon Street,
Camden, N. J., Mr.. and Mrs. D. c. Mont
gomery, of Little Creek, Delaware, on
Friday evening, September 22nd, cele-
brated the siXtieth anniversary of their
wedding. Preparations had been made
to receive a host of relatives from Della
ware, Pennsylvania and New Jersey.
There are nine children, thirty grand
children and nearly the same number of
great grandchildren
Mr.. Montgomery comes of family of
twenty-eight children. His father fought
in the War of the Revolution on the Wasp,
and the younger generation look upon
the son as a real Son of the Revolution.
although he has no connection with the
society bearing that name.
Mr.. Montgomery is a few weeks past
so years old, and Mrs. Montgomery will
be 79 next Christmas eve. In their COM
Portable home, at Little Greek, they do
not need any assistance in the manage
ment af their affairs, and the husband
makes frequent trips to Philadelphia to
buy goods for his store.
The ewadditions to the family through
marriage and birth keep the old folks
busy trying to figure who are their kith
and kin. Fifteen of the grandchildren
are married and with but one exception
they have Que or more children.
The aged couple were married in Phil
adelphia, live in Delaware, and celebrated
the event in New Jersey The relatives
are almost equally divided in the three
States

and finally sent for Drs. w. Bennett
and Charles Willis. They found the
woman dead. They said she had sue
cumbed to heart failure, the result Of
physical exhaustion; that she had lit

New Jersey Concern Accused Of Cut
ting Up Dead Horses and Diseased
and Emaoiated Animals For Export
Trade.
That New Jersey has within its bor-
ders an establishment engaged in the
business OF canning and picking
horse flesh, shipped to Holland for
food purposes, was officially brought
to the attention of the state board Of
health at its meeting in Trenton, N. j.
The board referred the case to At
torney General Wilson, requesting him
to take such action as the circum-
stances would warrant.
The complaint was presented by DR..
R. B. Fitz-Randolph, head Of the pure
food department of the state board,
and was based upon evidence furnish
ed by the bureau Of chemistry, of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, which has had the horse pickling
establishment under surveillance for
several months. The federal authori-
ties had succeeded in collecting evil
dence which satisfied them that the
Schwarz Brothers company, of Kear-
ney, had been carrying on an Illicit
business in horse flesh.
The government alleged that the
most unsanitary conditions prevailed
at the plant, and that carcasses of dis
eased and emaciated animals were
packed for the export trade. Accord
ing to the evidence obtained by secret
service men, dead horses were cut up
for food on the same floor occupied by
animals which had glanders and other
diseases communicable to mankind.
The investigation started by DR..
Harvey w. Wiley, chief of the chem
istry bureau, had to be practically
abandoned by the government because
of a leak through which Schwarz
Brothers were warned that they were
being watched After this, it is al
legged that no more shipments were
made abroad, and the government be-
ing left without jurisdiction sac case
was turned over to the state authOri-
ties for prosecution under its laws.
The case worked up by the govern
ment was outlined generally in a let
ter from Acting Chief L. Dunlap, of
the bureau of chemistry, which was
submitted to the state board of health
by DR.. Fitz-Randolph. In this letter
Mr. Dunlap said:
Confirming the bureaus telegram
Of Sept. IA, announcing that Inspector
would confer with you in re-
gard to an apparent violation Of the
state food laws, beg to acquaint you
herewith more in detail of the circum-
stances which indicate that Schwarz
& Co, of Kearney, N. j., hold
IN their possession a consignment of |
horse meat intended for food purposes |
and adulterated within the meaning Of |
section 8, paragraph 6. of the state |
aw. The above firm is engaged in |
fat and in exporting tallow. |
rhe tankage is sold to fertilizer estab- |
ishments. The meat from which the |
at is rendered is obtained by the pur-
,hase of dead animals and those live
which, because of disease, age
II general debility, are unfit for fur
her domestic service and can be pur-
chased for a pittance.
"On or about June 10, 1911, the bu-
eau was advised that the firm export
ID picked horse meat to Holland.
hat this meat was entered at Rotter-
lam and was distributed throughout
Holland for food purposes.
"Thls information was confirmed by
inquiry of the inspectors, who imme-
lately began an investigation to pro
ure evidence necessary to institute

SERIOUSLY OF Be
COMING INCORPORATED.

1t is understood that an effort is
to be made in the near future to
incorporate Dietrich as a village
if such a thing is possible. This
is a splendid idea and one that
should meet wItn the approval of
every resident of the town. Among
other good reasons for this move
the fact that it would prevent stock
from running at large through the
streets is much IN its favor. On
Saturdays when Main street is
lined with teams 1t is no uncommon
sight to see ten or dozen horses
going through the streets on a dead
run and all the farmers making a
run for their teams to prevent
their breaking away and tearing
everything to pieces. 1t IS to be
hoped that the owners of those
loose horses will take the hint and
do their best to keep them up be-
fore they have heavy damages to
settle. If we cannot incorporate
what is the matter with getting a
herd district that was talked of so
strongly last winter. The commits
sioners will be in session in Sho-
shone. Monday April 18th. for their
regular meeting and there Is a pc
iitIon now before them regarding
that matter.
