Former City Solicitor John W.
Brady. representing Edward J. Dar-
ragh who recently purchased the pro-
perty No. $40 Market street. yester-
day afternoon informed the Board Of
Police Commissioners that they might

month. which is an increase OF $65 a
year. The commissioners are inclin-
ed to refuse the offer and may seek
other quarters.
The suggestion is made that the
rooms occupied by the Board of
Education would be ideal for the pur-
pose. the board agreeing to go TO the
Wilmington High School where
special meeting rooms were built for

Orcharding in the Northwest.
Professor e. r. Lake, secretary Of
the American Pathological Society
discussed Apple Orcharding i'm the Pa
cific Northwest The lecture was to
have been illustrated by lantern
slides, but something prevented this
part of the program, and Prof. Lake
proceeded to give an extremely inter-
esting talk without them. Professor
Lakes address was full OF quiet filings
at some of Delaware's noted fruit
growers. and was frequently inter-
rupted by laughter at his sallies. He
began by calling upon those in the
rear of the room to come forward.
and reiterated the old saying that
there is always room at the front"
II want TO reach the man in the
rear" he said. The man who is up
front does not need me. It's the man
in the rear who needs prodding. I am
sorry that I cannot use my lantern
slides because the room cannot be
darkened. That bunch of slides is a
hoodoo in the East. This is the third
time I've been disappointed where I
intended TO use them.
Some time ago I Travelled through

there the census is taken when it will

"Soper says there are four things
that are requisite to successful fruit
