HARRINGTON

A fine shower revived the people as
well as the vegetation about Harrington
on Wednesday morning last, and it was
a real blessing to the growing crops.
The corn was suffering much, and the
only crop which appears to have stood
the dry weather, is the tomato.
Canteloupe growing is an important
factor in the section northeast from
Harrington, and the few who paid atten-
tion to starting the crop early have real
lied handsome profits. The occasional
hampers of canteloupes which have been
sold at this station have netted the
grower abont S4 each. At Seaford a
grower this week sold the pick from a
twelve acre field for $500.
Peaches are bringing from 81 to 81 so
per basket, and their quality is certainly
fine. The supply is very limited.
Tomatoes are selling at retail at II
cents per quart, but the sales by the
basket from the grower, net him about
rs cents; but these prices will fall fifty
per cent before another week passes.
The purpose of the school authorities
in Harrington to tax automibes for school
support, has created a furOre of protest,
and the owners will probably take the
cases to court; but this was done in the
case of another town Of Delaware, and
theright to tax these machines for school
purposes was upheld, so it is probable
that the owners of these luXuries will
have to pay school taxes upon them.

THE AMERICAN ISSUE

nave been chroncled from time to time in the daily
press, Here are two important Developments
Largely under the inspiration of the Webb law.
tennessee went Out on campaign of law enforcement
that has fairly shaken the lower regions remarkable
cleanlng-up process is in progress in that state
What next?
Virginia had been discouraged about pushing her
campaign Tor statewide Prohibition largely because
ngs III tennessee have not been what they ought to
have been.
But now the press dispatches from the Old Do
mnion state that the Virginians are I'D and at # nre
parng to push the enabling act to finish at the state
legislature this winter
The Webb law has opened the door for national
prohibition, which is coming, and coming sooner than
most people imagine. The increasing signs of despera
ton IN the liquor camp indicate this more striknqlv
than the symptoms of renewed determination behind
the works of the drys.

Concerning John A. Gum

Over in Cambria county, Pennsy lvania, the party
Prohibitionsts have nominal organization At the
recent primaries, two three votes cast for
John A. Gum the Prohibition party nominee for
sheriff. There being other nominee Mr.. Gum be-
the regular and legal Prohibition party candidate
for that office.
Now, it appears that Brother Gum is not only an
anti-Prohibtonist but last year operated booze
joint at a nearby town.
The Prohibition party leaders have tried to get
Bro. Gum to withdraw, but Bro Gum won't. He
says that he is the regular legal nominee Of the party
for that office, and that he proposes to stick.
The Prohibition party brethren UP against it !;
they either for the regular nominee of their
party who is rumseer, take to the brush vote
for some real Prohibition candidate hated old
party ticket.
It is an awful fix.

and she is applying for federal job of some kind to
head off starvation
Years ago, Miss Couzins campaigned for Prohi
bition and also for womans suffrage and did very we'll
at it. But in evil hour the United States Brewers
Association dangled hook baited with gold in front
of her, and she swallowed it, with bait hook and
sinker, and piece of the line stuck out Of her mouth
She then went out campaigning against Prohibi
ton and against womans suffrage She says that the
Brewers Association promised her pension for life
if she would do the stunt
By and by the brewers dumped Phoebe into the
discard They paid her pension for little while and
then quit leaving the lady stranded She appealed to
most of the prominent Dutchmen from Adophus
Busch to Kaiser Bill to help her compel the United
States Brewers Association to make good their
pension promises, but failed.
Now at the age of 49, she finds herself discredited

Repeated warnings, threatening letters and the
