STATES FINANCES in
EXCELLENT CONDITION
The Problems That Face The
New Legislature

When the Legislature convcnes at its
regular session next month, actually on
January 7th, 1919, the members will find
the finances of this State in an excellent
condition and that the record made by our
State along this line during the past years
is one that a State much larger and of
many more resources might well be proud.
There will be no necessity of borrowing
to meet current expenses.
4 brief resume of the finances for the
past four years show facts that are very
surprising and gratifying to our citizens.
There was, at the beginning of this per-
iod, in the General Fund of the State
about $4,000. During this time, we
have built and furnished a New State
IIuOsc a tthe cost of over 100000, erect
ed State Armory at Dover at cost of
$4,000 and also have purchased good, in
terest bearing bonds, to be held against
our outstanding Indebtedness, to the
amount of over $4,000. All this has been
done out of the balnace on hand, as men
toned baove, and the receipts during that
time, in addition to paying all current ex-
pcnscs during the four years.
NINETY THOUSAND ON HAND.
As the approximate balance that will
be on hand at the end of the present year
will be 500 900, it will be seen that little
Delaware has, during this time, made
net gain of about $4,000. In consider
ing this, it should also be borne in mind
that the appropriations for purposes bene-
fetal to the people of this State hvae been
regularly increased as needed.
The fact that more than 100000 ex.
elusive of the School Fund is spent by our
State Government on Education alone, to
say nothing Of the amounts spent on other
institutions and purposes of public inter
est, such AS Preservation of Health, Agri
culture, Hospitals, ETC., should be mat
ter of pride to all true Delawareans.
In addition to these figures regarding
the General Fund of the State, there has
been established Sinking Fund for the
purpose of liquidating our public debt,
and the growth and investment Of this

COMPLIMENTS FOR H. R. TYSON
Review of the Record of Harry J. S.

rho Christmas number of 1.-THE Horse
p,yicw." " the leading sporting journal of
,h,. country, published at Chicago, pays "A
,-g,vinp tribute to the ability as driver
ami trainer of the local horseman, II. r.
Tyson.
An accompanying cut shows horse and
driver ready for a tryout on the track.
Interesting extracts from the article
follow:
..Herman r. Tyson, Newark, Delaware,
has, during the past few seasons, raced
.nmc of the best trotters we have ever
s.,on over the half mile tracks of Penn
eylyapia, Delaware and the southeast, in
,.luling those two cracks, Charley Mitch
ell. 2O4:15, and Esther W., 2.06:l5, but
the past season he appeared with one that
bids fair to prove the equal Of either o.:
the above mentioned pair. His name is
Harry }. S., and in the hands of the Del
aware reinsman he did not lose a single
race during the campaign just closed.
Tyson started him in eight races, which
the youngster won in twenty four heats
heatnig the best of the fast division OF
trottcrs racing over the southeastern
courses.
As a three-year-old Harry j. s. start
rI in five races and won them all, taking

such a competent expert as DR.. j. c

Fund has been at such rate as to almost
cover our outstanding bonds at the time
of their maturity without any refunding
issues.
The most direct indication of our
healthy financial condition is the fact
that Delaware mas assets in excess of all
liabilities of more than 81 100000 These
figures are all the more remarkable when
1t is remembered that all this has been
accomplished without State Tax on
property of any description.

TO Learn About Migratory

Every year the number OF storks
to be seen in Alsace becomes less Of
the four nests perched on the big

are the causes assigned for this de
sertion-the draining OF the marshes.
the multiplication of telephone and
telegraph wires and the smoke from
factory chimneys.
In Germany for the better study OF
storks there has been created a sort
OF service In connection with the Edu-
cation Department which tends TO set
UP an "etat civil" for each bird. or.
In other words. to register them after
the manner which obtains for citizens
IN France.
Each bird is captured where posi-

the birds are believed to migrate, have
instructions TO send to the department
any information they can gather con-
corning storks who are German sub
tects. Possibly this labelling may
have something to do with the scare
ity) By this system OF registration
the authorities have learned some
thing Of the migratory habits OF the
bird; for instance. one was found dead
at the Cape Of Good Hope whose place
Of origin was eastern Prussia.
A point OF interest relative to the
scarcity OF the stork has been brought
under the notice Of the German au-
thoriues by a doctor at Port Eliza
beth. who suggests that they have
been poisoned through eating grass
hoppers or locusts which have been
killed by arsenic. A correspondent.
however. of an AisaceLorraine jour
nal hints that the cause is to be found

have cost her her live She was driv-
ing a trusty family horse along the
ra.d and had not much thought for
the horse and the reins were lying
loose. Suddenly an auto appeared IN
the horizon and came buzzing along
without the slightest arning. 1t was
a rather wheezy AFFAIR and its pun

The girl hardly had time to tighten
her grasp on the reins when the ma
chine rushed along side and then the
horse started 10 free himself from his
burden He kicked his heels threat

her along at a merry rate At last
he kicked himself loose from one
shaft and forced the buggy into such
a position that the girl ht On he-
head in the road. The horse freed
himself entirely from the rig and ran
away.
Miss Mcoee ran TO the house Of some
