CURRENT COMMENT
Fancy C1lrOnos.

Joseph Letter says the only trouble in America
is with the gentlemen who manufacture stock
certificates and cannot sell their output Of fancy
chromos, that beyond the New York marke ct
district the country Is all right. This is almost
exactly opposed to the view recently expressed
by MIR. Hill, and one Is apt to wonder which
Is correct.
A few years ago. Mr.. HITS dictum would
have been accepted blindly, and similarly Mr.
Letters would have been dsregarded. The
railroad magnate was then reputed a sober con-
sentative and the Chicago Spectator was con-
sdered a scatterbrain; but times change and

veIoped into hard headed analyst very like
his father

rebound that follows a panic. The United States

but this country has troublesome supply.
II business Is quiet at present that is only
atural. ON the verge of a presidential year

point to change In administrations and. in
addition to this normal condition. attempts TO

thrown a scare into the camp Of lawless big
business.
Despite these natural effects. the country Is

accurate summary. The non-speculative Ameri-
can Is not worrying himself over the Cassan-
tiras to the contrary he is picking up here and
there the bargains that made possible by
their wailings--Norfolk Landmark.
1t was In this manner that the Democrats
Of New Jersey prepared the platform upon
which they will rest their case this fall And
this Is the kind or leadership that Is win

every day. Not the leadership of back rooms
and inner sanctums not the Leadership that
issues orders from the private office Of some
corporation, not the leadership that whispers
its uIans and lays its wires underground. not
the leadership that seeks to fool the people
with respectable front while harborfng Sc

the leadership of man who sits down among
his fellow citizens and by consultation. by the
giving and taking of advice by mutual counsel

EARLY SWEET CORN ON FOURTH.

Each year the first early homegrown
sweet corn 10 the Milford market, comes
from the lots Of William Harrison
Davis of South Milford, and this year
he delivered his first dearborn load to
his Milford patrons on the morning OF
July Fourth. This corn lie we'll filled,
large ears, and sweet and fine flavor,
and this shows plainly that the farmers
Of this part Of Delaware can, II they
only would, have sweet corn in the city
market foil three weeks ahead Of the
time they now do. This gain in time
means the difference in price OF fully
one hundred per cent to the grower.
Mr.. Davis planted his corn this year in
the latter part Of March, aud after
that many irOsts fell, and even freezing
of the ground took place, but the corn
had not then come through the ground
hence the freezing did not damage
Frost only turns the leaves OF the corn
red, and the plant sends forth A others
to perform their functions, with the
results that when the warm suns come,
it is ready to grow and prosper, which
is generally at the period when the
average farmer is just preparing the
ground by blowing. 1t pays to be
fCrehanded Delaware farmers can
grow early tomatoes for the city market
exactly as the growers Of New Jersey
DO, il they would fit themselves with
sash and cold frames in which to start
their plants and transplant them at
one or more times.

the GlenwOrth Driving Park, near

q score Of 9 to 5, and again in the after
noon the game was repeated and the
victory won by the same team, Ateach
game there was large attendance. the
larger attendance being in the morn
ing, the horse racing detracting from
the afternoon assembly. It 10 reported
that fully 1000 to $500 persons we're at
the races. There was but little fire
works ignited either during the day or
evening, just an occasional cannon
cracker being heard. and so far as. we
are able to learn no causalities are re-
ported

JUST A REMINDER.

At this season Of the year it behOOves
every person to think something about
the conditions OF their premises, and
see that any refuge or waste matter,
especially Of q decaying nature. is
removed, in order that the health Of
their own families and that OF their
neighbOrs is sufficiently protected from
disease. A great deal Of disease is
caused by negleetlng such work. and
if every person would take the matter
to himself. It would quickly mean g
clean town with healthy conditions.
Don't forget this gentle reminder and
II you haven't cleaned your premises
properly don't delay the matter but
get about the work at once, it will save
you money and insure your happiness
and health.

COLLEGE WORK NAY Be CHANGED.

At q meeting Of the trustees OF Della.
ware College last week, a resolution
whose purpose it was to change the
work at the college was offered by DR.
q w. Marshall a membeFO OF the board
The resolution met with the approval
Of the committee on discipline aud in
struction aud was eoneidered by the
full board, but no definite action taken
on it. 1t will probably be brought be.
fore the board at later meeting.
The purpose Is to divide the work
more than at present 10 the several de
partments, which would give each de
psFtment a head and a number OF a..
sistants. WITH only one professor for
each department. This would pro.
baby result in some salary changes.
Such 3 plan is said to be followed by
come OF the other colleges.
No changes were made in any OF
the departments. The matter Of elect
ing professor Of history was referred
to q special committee to report at
special meeting to be called by the
an agreement not having
been reached
The salaries OF the professors we're 10.
creased from 81 800 to 1000 each and
that of Joseph N. MeVey, assistant in
was increased from 81 200
10 81 500.
