SCHOLARS ALSO
CONTRIBUTE EXERCISES

Assembly exercises at the Wilmington
High School this morning were fea-
tured by an address on Literature
and Life" the speaker being DR.. w.
owen Sypherd, of the Department of
English of Delaware College.
Beginning with the earliest period
Of the start of English literature in
the seventh century. DR.. Sypherd
spoke Of the several ways in which,
through it, one is given knowledge
of the life of past centuries, and of
the gradual change from the rugged,
rough style of early years to a definite
refinement in the fourteenth century
and on down. The sixteenth century
he said, marked the beginning of
modern life, and of the influences of
that period the Skakesperean was the
strongest In the seventeenth CEN
tury came the Puritan age. which
brought the Bible, Bunyan's Pill
grim's Progress" and Milton's Para
disc Lost"
The eighteenth century, the speaker
said, brought poems and essays from
men like Shelley, Burns and Arnold,
and mentioning the features of the
nineteenth century and the present
style. with il closing his address,
which was heartily applauded by the
students. Those in the room who are
taking this special course this year
were intent listeners to the address,
which was very beneficial to them.
DR.. Sypherd prefaced his talk with
an informal invitation to the students
to be present at a football game at
Delaware on Saturday, November s,
and also visit the college and sur
lroundings on tour of inspection.
The official invitations to the game,
he said. would come later.
There we're three public addresses

lCarswell spoke on "The Name of
lRepublic;" Joseph Jones gave a selec-
tion from Mark Twain, which was de-

commendable, both in ennunciation
and delivery, and the students show
ed their appreciation of it.
Miss Reba Fingers subject was
THE Eternal Music"
Excellent selections we're given by
the orchestra, and the chorus singing
under the direction OF Miss Nell G

CAN TRAIN
PUPPIES TO
TRIAL GAME

Owners Of rabbit hounds have been
in a Quandary as to whether the State
game laws allow them to train their
dogs. The statement was made to-
day by Edward G. Bradford, Jr., a
game commissioner, That all owners
of puppies, and other dogs, who de-
sire to train such animals in follow
ing cottontails, can do-so. The State
game laws state that all dogs must be
under direct supervision and control
of the owner when being trained. In
case the dog should run to death a
rabbit and kill it. the owner would
be liable. under the law. In speaking
of he training of dogs, it was said
that those who take dogs out fol
training should not carry guns. Mr.
Bradford painted out. otherwise their
acts would be construed as those Of
gunners.
That the present State laws are be.
ing appreciated by glmners is attested
lby the ready cooperation of many hunt
ers in the State. With the announce
mcnt that the State Game Commission
ers have decided TO select site in Sus-
sex county for a game preserve ani
lpropagating purposes, which will be IN
charge of an expert, sportsmen from
IAN sections of the State have offered to
co-operate with the commissioners in
I lfurthering this work.
II was announced this morning that
while the exact site has not been Sc
llccted. surveyors are at work now on a
large tract of land in the lower portion
of the state The commissioners have
decided on the man who will have charge
of the State pcrscrve, he being a resi-
dent of Kent county, but he has not
yet been engaged
Just what the securing of such a
site means for this State was ex-
plained today when il was aDnounc-
ed that on such a preserve all kinds
of game including fish would be
raised and would be distributed
streams, it was claimed, would with
in three years abound in bass, pike
and trout This with the great
amount Of game, would mean that
thousands of dollars would be spent
here yearly by sportsmen. both for
licenses and hotel and living ex-
penses.
The game laws provide for the
turning over Of all license fees to
the Game Commissioners and Il Is ap-
piled to propagating game in the
State, and enforcing the laws. The
amount Of money received from
nonresident fishermen this year. il
was learned. Is ample TO stock the
lstreams OF the State with fish.

There is one measure now before
the legislature which we hope to see
enacted into a law. We refer to the
anti-discrimination bill, which is de-
signed to protect the local creameries
from unfair competition by the out
side concerns. 1t is the pernicious
habit of these large dealers to pay a
premium on butter fat until they have
driven out the local creamery and then
they pay less than the market price,
having the farmers at their mercy.
During the year 1911 thirty per cent
of the cream OF the state went to out
side dealers and last year the amount
they took raised to fifty per cent, and
eventually they will drive every local
creamery out of business, unless the
latter are afforded the protection that
the bill now under consideration will
give them.

LARGE IRRIGATION PROJECT
PLANNED

Merchants and business men in the
Black Hills and especially in Rapid
City have joined heartily in a plan to
promote the largest irrigation project
which has ever been attempted in the
United States, says a Rapid City dis
patch. Judge E. H. Barthow of Presho,
president of the Great Plains Irriga-
ton Company has been there for sew
eral days and has unfolded the plans
of his undertaking. Judge Barthow
has spent several months travelling
over the section, which it is proposed
to irrigate, and which embraces a strip
of territory 25 miles wide and 500
miles long extending from northwest
ern North Dakota across that state and
South Dakota into Nebraska.
1t is estimated that 5000, 900 acres of
semiarid land can be brought under
bitches by using the natural flow of
water in the Missouri river and con-
serving the surplus waters in flood
times.
Already government engineers at
Washington are studying the PROPOSE
ton not directly from a conservation
point of view, but from the standpoint
of an effort to solve the flood situation
in the lower Mississippi valley. Ex-
perts are of the opinion levees are an
Intellectual method of caring for flood
waters and are convinced that the
proper method is to dispense with the
water at the train of its interception
in thes ources of the Mississippi river,
of which the Missouri is one of the
biggest feeders.
Judge Barlow has collected stuff
cient money to insure a preliminary
survey of the entire tract and when
this is done plans will be neutralized
to consider an appropriation to build
unit of the great project. By using the
flood water of the Missouri river and
its tributaries for irrigation purposes,
the territory adjacent to the mouth of
the Mississippi would be relieved of
surplus flowage and the water used to
irrigate millions of acres of land adopt
ed to the growing of all grain, fruit
and vegetables that can be produced
in the temperate zone.

Furnishing THE BACHELORS

Three years is long enough for a
man to remain a bachelor. The point
has been decided by a court of last re-
sort, the court Of landlords. The Hyde
Park branch of the Y. M. c. A., near
Chicago, houses one hundred bach
elors. 1t houses them so well that
they show no disposition to change
their status. Hence the Secretary has
been obliged to issue a ukase in which
he recites that the dormitory is full,
and has a long waiting list, and that
Therefore, those bachelors who have
been inhabitants for three years or
more must marry and get out, or get
out anyway.
We cannot but applaud the heroism
of the secretary in moving thus against
the ~selishness of bachelors, but is he
not In a measure responsible for it?
Hasn't he made the bachelors too CON-
Portable? Why has he not introduced
them to the joys OF married life by
causing them to carry out ashes,
shovel in coal and bring home pack
ages addressed to the secretary? There
are many other ways in which bach
elors may be Injured to the rigors Of
married life in advance, such as cali
ing them up over the phone and notify
ing them that dinner will be at six
sharp and that the secretary's maiden
aunt will be q special guest; asking
twenty minutes advice over the phone
whether the secretary shall wear his
mauve Or green necktie at the Y. N.

Eagle Lake, Texas, Feb. 2, 1913.
The Register, Bookings, S. D.
Gentlemen:
Having promised to write you OF
how / found things in and around
Eagle Lake, Texas.
Eagle Lake has a population of $500
located IS miles west of Houston. 1t
is a city of fine homes, good schools,
good churches, solid business and
financial concerns, and a good place
to live. 1t is also located in the heart
of the rice, sugar cane, potato, corn
and truck farming or anything else
that grows in the coast country. 1t has
three railroads, electric lights, ice plant
creamery, steam laundry, two whole.
sale houses, two strong banks and
numerous splendid brick business
houses. The land is as productive as
the valley of the Nile" and very
reasonable in price considering the
productiveness of the land.
Farmers are planting potatoes,
started about January goth. Potatoes
are a very prosperous crop, some very
large planters have as high as 1900
acres.
Eagle Lake has two large rice mills
costing over 500, 100000 each and a
sugar refinery that cost over $780,
100000. Sugar cane is farmed on a
very large scale and is fast giving
away to potato culture. Potatoes
yield from 100 to 300 bushels to the
acre and bring from 10 cents to $1.75
per bushel, so n a e that it is
a very profitable crop, rice is also a
good yielder here, yields from IL to
% barrels to the acre and sold this
year at $3.50 per barrel. Some yields
from 25 to 80 barrels to the acre. If
all the farmers here would apply them
selves as diligently as in South Dakota
they would get much better yields
than they do.
o"SSI PotoIOOo dlt oCNouilhS a vel y
profitable crop also onions. Cotton is
farmed quite extensively here.
The weather is very mild here, the
coolest it has been is "a degrees above
zero and that only one morning.
1 am visiting my daughter, Mrs.
L.. j. Edwards. Mr.. Edwards is doing
a good concrete business here, he is
working from Is to 20 men all the
time on sidewalk and foundations, no
cold weather to interfere with side
walk work at all.
1 certainly do enjoy this winter
weather. People are planting spring
gardens now, and have just finished
taking off the fall and winter gardens.
The public school here is fully equip.
ped with laboratories for domestic
science, chemistry and manual train
ing. A splendid school.
Will close, willing to give anybody
any information that I can, while I am
not in the land business, one could dc
worse than to locate in Eagle Lake
Texas. Yours truly, Frank Dull.
