WALKERS LARGE BARN DAMAGED

+. E. Walker of the ReYbold Farm
Formerly of Smyrna Suffers Loss
During the storm on Sunday after
noon last the big brick barn of F. E.
Walker, St. Georges was blown down
and much damage was done. All of
his hay crop was in the barn and
three horses were in the stable. The
horses though badly frightened were
not hurt any, except few scratches
one becoming frightened on break
ing its halter, jumped into the feed
entry, while the second, was loose
in the adjoining stable, and the
third, by the use of an ak and a
pinch bar was gotten out safely.
Part of his harness has been found
but the remainder is still unde
the ruins. The big four iron post
windmill which stood fifty feet in
the air was blowned to the ground
and is in a complete wreck. Mr..
Walker who was spending a few
days in Smyrna did not know of the
loss until he arrived home Sunday
evening about seven-thirty. His
two sons managed to get the horses
nut by the help of Eugene Shorts
who was a Sunday guet. Besides
this, several trees were blown down.
The damage is estimated between
81, 900 and 81, 500 dollars. The farm
is known as the Reybold property,
on the road leading from St.
Georges to Delaware City. the
landlord at the present time being
Eddie Clark. Many visitors have
been to see the ruins.

The spirit Of the Seven Wonders
of the World-every one of them
the result of the application of
mans thought to the service of
mankind = dominates the August
number of Popular Mechanics Mag
azine. The publication conducted
an international poll to determine
what the eminent scientists of the
world regarded as the seven great
est modern achievements. The re-
suit was most interesting in that,
as H. H. Windsor declares: "The
wonder Of our Modern Wonders is
the thing itseIf-not the instrument.
To the Ancients, a wonder had to
be fashioned with the strong arm
its virtues were chiefly those of
size and stength. The Modern Won
ders find their inspiration in an i'm
provement of human life-every hu-
man life and their conception in
minds, not in muscle. Each of
the Modern Wonders is discussed in
the August Magazine, the contribu-
tiOns including: "The Telephone, 4"
by Alexander Graham Bell; "Wire-
less" by F. Minturn Sammiss /;
1.-The Aeroplane, by Albert F.

We are heartily in favor of good
roads in Delaware and commend any
move that will tend to permanent
road work. Our esteemed contemp-
orary the Milford Chronicle, says
along this line: "There IS not one
taxpayer in either Kent or Sussex
County who would make solemn oath
that the money drawn from the State
treasury each year to the extent of
ten thousand dollars for each county,
is expended for the purpose of
building permanent roads; a provis-
ion of the act of the legislature,
and did Delaware have a Comp
troller, that money would not be
permitted to be grabbed by the two
lower counties and applied to the
present system of rounding up and
graveling dirt roads, which have to
be done over in less than three years
after the so called good road is
built. New Castle county is clearly
entitled to this money as in that
county they are building good roads
and roads which are as near per-
manent as it is possible for this day.
We want it clearly understood. that
it is not with the men who are doing
the work, or who are expending the
money, but with the system, and the
men who compose the Levy Courts,
who are deliberately disregarding the
laws providing for this appropriation
and making oaths to the statement
to the State Tresurer that the
county has raised and expended a
similar amount of money for the
building of good, permanent roads.
1t is time for the adjustment of the
present road system, and the crea-
tion of another and modern plan for
keeping the roads out of politics
They certainly are of as much i'm =
portance to the general condition of
the people, as the churches and the
schools, and both of these are
measurably clear of politics. Let's
have the good roads question made
a'political issue in the right sense,
and make it one of the necessities
for any man to be-elected to the leg
islatdre, that he shall publicly an
nounce that he will support any pro-
gressive road laws, and the abolish
ment of the present system. Della
ware must have good roads, we
want them, we need them"
Smyrna times., 1912-07-24

We often wonder if the farmers
of Delaware properly appreciate
what is being done for them by the
State Board of Agriculture and the
Delaware College Experiment Sta
tion. These two splendid bureaus
are doing much in research work and
are aiding in a material way to
make Delaware soil more prOduc-
tive and the farmer more interested
in scientific agriculture. A Della
ware farmer who classes himself a
progressive, can ill afford to ig-
more these splendid agencies inau-
gurated and supported by the state.
The farmer who wants to do things
should keep himself continually in
touch with the State Board of Agri-
culture and, the Directors of the
Delaware College Experiment Sta
tion. We publish this week two in
teresting bulletins, one on growing
alfalfa and the other on potato rot
which should merit the attention of
all tilIers of the soil. BY apply
ing for these bulletins farmers car
better know their soil and how tC
combat plant diseases and pests.

The decision of the Supreme
Court of Delaware as to the consti-
tutionality of the T. Coleman du-
Pont Boulevard act was contrary to
the wishes of a number in this vi
cinity, especially those who all long
have favored the use of one roads
the State Road as the boulevard
highway. The Court, however, has
made it plain that the 200 feet wide
strip shall be used for public util-
tiles and this only and that these
said utilities shall be constructed with
in a reasonable length of time. This
Interpretation makes it incum-
bent upon Mr.. dupont to do some
thing or give up the project. The
boulevard act as passed by our Leg
islature has its good and bad sides,
Ia matter of too hssty conclusion)
but when the 1000, 200 road is
finally completed, if it is ever built,
the people no doubt will forget their
differences, and enjoy the fruits
made possible by Mr.. dupont. In
the meantime let US hope he will
change his survey and still decide
to use the state road as near as
practicable.
