UNIFORM RATE IN ENGLAND
Two Hundred Publishers Agree on
Plan to Facilitate Advertising

Fldh TO Facilttate advertising
More than 200 British publishers
are reported to have agreed upon a
uniform rate card.
The card, in addition to giving
rates for the ordinary run of adver-
Using, will supply much additional in
formation of benefit to the advertiser
in the way of page and column sizes,
day of publication, character of the
paper and, in the case of provincial
newspapers, population of the city in
which they are located, addresses of
the London office, name of represent
ative and telephone number. The
cards are also of one size, 6x4 inches,
for filing.
English advertising agents are en-
thusiastic over the idea, as they have
been advocating such plan, like the
American agents. for years. The
scheme will greatly facilitate bust
ness.

JUST TO SHOW HOW WRONG J
HE is"

Referring to the presidents opposi-
ton to the recall, the Denver News
says:
"The News believes the recall is
a necessary instrument for the recov-
cry of democratic government, and
we can see no reason why The courts
should be exempted from the opera
tions of that instrument. At the pres
ent moment the last citadel Of pri-
vate rights which rest on public
wrongs is the courts. The corrupt
judge is the exception, but the recall
is to cure that exception. The cor
rupt Judge is the defender and shield
of the corrupt and grasping corpora
ton. Mr.. Taft seems to have little
objection to the recall of other Off
GERS. But why should a scoundrel
judge receive more mercy than a
scoundrel governor?
I'm our judgment, President Taft
has made serious error, and done
serious injustice. That he has done
so with the best of intentions, we
make no doubt-and just to show him
how wrong he is in his estimate OF
his countrymen, we will say that if he
were a municipal officer, subject to
the recall, we would never dream OF,
invoking that instrument to punish
him for his blunder. But the blunders
is there. Two important communi-
ties are sent back to leading tsrings,
because one of them does not agree
with the political theories of the pres
ident. An earnest and honest effort
to check known abuses is made the
reason for denying self-government.
The so-called independence of judg-
es is placed higher than the political
rights of an entire people"

should be borne in mind.
/ The average value Of a farm with
/ its equipment in 1900 was slightly
over $4,000, while ten years later il
was more than S., 800. The average
Of land alone rose from S22 % per
acre in 1900 to s33. 63 in 1910.
In the sixty years since 1850 the
| population Of the State has increased
by III, 900, or 121 per cent.
The number of farms in Delaware,
which in 1910 for the first time ex-
ceeded 10000 showed a greater in
crease from 1900 to 1910 than dur
ing any other decade, this increase
amounting to 1,149 farms. or an
average Of nearly l15 per year.
The rates of increase during the
decade in the different counties were
%. Z per cent in New Castle, 1919 per
cent in Kent, and 15.l per cent in
Sussex, increasing thus from north
to south. The relative increase for
the state as a whole was greatest in
the decades between 1860 and 1880.
The land surface Of Delaware is
approximately ,257 600 acres. OF
this area, 1,03S, $50 acres, or S2.6
per cent, were included in farms in
1910, representing a decrease Of 2
per cent during the last decade OF
the farm acreage in 1910, 1883
acres, or 6S.7 per cent, were reported
as improved land, representing SGT
per cent Of the total land area Of the
state. The improved land in farms
showed a little more than twice as
great a relative decrease as the total
acreage Of farms, the percentage Of
farm land improved being slightly
lower in 1910 than in 1900.
The total farm acreage showed a
continuous increase during the first
thirty years for which figures are
given, but for the last thirty years
the acreage has been, on the whole,
decreasing. The acreage Of improved
land increased continuously until
1890, but has decreased 6. 4 per cent
since that date. During this period
(1S90-1910) the proportion Of the
total land area Of the state which
was occupied by farms decreased
from 1873 to S2.6 per cent, while
the improved land decreased from
72.2 to 6S.7 per cent Of the total
land in farms.

Color and Nativity of Farmers. 1910.
Prior to the thirteenth census no
attempt was made in the census OF
agriculture to secure information
concerning the nativity Of farmers.
Nearly nine-tenths Of the Della
ware farm operators are native whites
and nearly one-tenth negrOes--less
than one twenty-fifth being foreign
born whites. OF the native white
farmers 41.6 per cent are tenants as
compared with 19 per cent Of the
foreign-born white farmers and 54.2
per cent OF the negro.
Farm Expenses.
Approximately % per cent Of the
amount expended for labor in 1903
was in the form OF rent and board.
During the decade the total expen-
ditures for labor increased 499 per
cent.
Slightly more than three-ffths OF
the farmers hired labor, and the av-
erage amount expended by the farm
ers hiring was about 1896. At prior
censuses no tabulation was made OF
the number of farmers making ex-
penditures for labor
About one farmer out Of every
three reported some expenditure for
feed in 1909, while over four out OF
five reported the purchase Of fertil-

AGRICULTURAL BULLETIN.

The thirteenth census advance bull
letin on agriculture for the state Of
Delaware is about to be issued by
Census Director Durand. 1t was
prepared under the supervision Of
DR.. LeGrand Powers, chief statician
for agriculture. The data relative
to farms and farm property, live
stock, and crops, was given out in
preliminary form some time ago.
There is, however, much that is
new in the bulletin.
Progress During the Decade 1900 to
1910.
Delaware ranks forty-seventh in
both area and population among the
states and territories of continental
United States. Although a consid-
erable part of its population lives in
manufacturing center, it is a dis
tinctly agricultural state. Most Of it
is part Of the Atlantic coastal plain,
and, as a whole, it is level and easily
titled. OF the states entire land
area about four-fifths is in farms.
The average value Of farm land
per acre for the whole state is S33.63;
the averages for the individual coun-
ties range from S24. As in the south
ern to $50 90 in the northern county.
Between 1900 and 1910 there was
an increase of 900, or 9-5 per
cent, in the population Of the state,
and an increase of /, ,149, or II. 9 per
cent, in the number Of farms, while
there was a decrease of over 81 900
acres, or 2. 6 per cent, in the area of
farm land, and a decrease Of about
40, 500 acres, or 5. A per cent, in the
improved land in farms. The aver
age size of the farms decreased from
110 to SO acres.
Farm property, which includes
land, buildings. implements and ma
chinery, and live stock domestic
animals, poultry and bees), has in
creased in value during the decade
55. 2 per cent, or nearly S22. 500, 900.

There was woman who made prayer

FelS-Naptha answers that kind of pet-

clothes you'll read: Soap the clothes, roll
and let them soak in cold or lukewarm
water for 80 minutes. Then rub lightly,
rinse, hang out on the line. No, you
don't boil them; Fels-Naptha takes the
place of that and hard rubbing, too.

find directions for all on the wrapper.
Be sure and follow them.

SALARY SYSTEM
Loss TO COUNTY
So Far There Is q Shortage el
s1i3.e7 In Paying Expenses

Contrary to the general expectation,
.he, operation Of the business OF the
county on the salary system. instead
OF the old fee system, shows a con-
siderable loss TO the county for the
two months that the system has been
In operation.
The total receipts from fees in all
of the different Departments of the
county amount to s2.30so5. The dis
bursements were s2,52212. This
makes loss TO the county OF s2l3.0T
f6r the two months that the salary
system has bgen in operation.
A large part Of this deficit comes
from the sheriff's Office, and this u
explained In part by the fact that a
large amount OF the fees due this de-
partment have not been collected as
|yet. The fees in this department do
not come In until after the costs have
been paid In the cases sried and that
is sometimes months after the fees
are incurred. and this is true In some
Iof the other departments.
The disbursements In the Office Of
the clerk OF the court amounts to
$3.50. and the receipts were sioi.l7
| less than this amount.
In the Office OF the register OF deeds
the receipts show good surplus over
expenditures. The amount received
in this Office was ss5s.s0 and the
amount expended In salaries was
$3.50, leaving a balance OF s20s.s0 In
favor OF the county.

ance In favor OF the county OF s35505

missions amounting 10 that much less

The audE,o-'s Office shows OF course

ary paid.

things Will even up In a short time
and that as soon as all of the fees

lected the system viii show a cleal

DOUBTFUL ON
THE ELECTION
Senate MOI Likely 10 Pass Amend
ment on Direct Vote

Washington, Feb. 6.-Now that Sen
ator Borah and the senate insurgents
have forced the senate to make the
direct election of senators the un-
finished business. making 1t probable
a vote will be had on this question. i
is much to be doubted il the senate
will pass the resolution for a consti-
tutional amendment.
II will be necessary for the resolu-
ton for an amendment providing for
direct election of senators to have a
two-thirds vote of the senate. II must
be two-thi-ds of the membership, not
two-thirds OF those present and yot-
ing. Whether this number of votes
can be Obtained for the resolution is
uncertain. The probabilities are
against 1t.
One reason for the probable defeat
OF the resolution is that senator's can
beat it by simply staying away from
the senate. A senator who does not
want to vote for the measure. yet is
afraid to vote against Ii, may absent
himself from the senate chambe- when
the vote is taken and still add to the
strength against the measure. It will
lrequire sixty-two votes for the reso-
luton TO pass, and 1t is conceded even
by the supporters Of the resolution
that it is not going to be easy to secure
them.
Senator Borah is hoping for vote
by the middle of this week. In the
meantime the supporters Of the reso.
luton will beat the bushes in ordel
to get as near a full attendance as
possible. They think that IL they
can secure something like a full al.
Tendance. they will be able to fore,
the resolution through.
