POLICEMEN APPEAR
In NATTY NEW CAPS

New winter uniforms were donned by
the police force yesterday and the ap.
pearance of the policemen was greatly
Improved BY the change. In place OF
wearing the old-fashioned helmets the
policemen now blossom forth in neat
caps, similar to those worn by the DO
lice in most of the big cities throughout
the country.
The cap is practically the same as
the regulation army cap, bell shaped,
with VISOR, and in front is the State
coat OF arms in silver on the patrol.
mems caps with the number OF each un-
der the shield. The captains and ser
eeants' caps have the coat Of arms in
gold and the word captain" or "ser-
geant" under it.
The new style Of cap is an innova-
tion advocated by General l. p. Wicker
sham.
The men are wearing this winter the
same overcoats they wore last winter
The board decided TO try to make a saw
ing by not purchasing new overcoats
this winter because they want to have
money enough next summer to provid,
a LIGHT uniform for the hot weather. The
summer uniforms will have semi-shape
coats Of light material, somewhat lik,

BUSY
WITHFALLWORk
Corn RuSking is Occupying
Attention, Grain
Marketed
FIND AUTOMOBILE
GREAT CONVENIENCE

Frosts and low temperatures have
so nipped the country that there is now
little left for the farmers to do ex-
cept to finish their corn husking and
gather in the pumpkins. Up until this
time only a portion o. the acreage has
been housed and in many sections it
is said that the husking will not be
completed until late in November. Con
siderable Of the corn that has been
husked, il is stated, is being disposed
of, as the farmers will not hold back
any OF the crop except what is needed
for feeding purposes during the winter
Some farmers have taken the advice
of experts of the state department OF
agriculture and are raising corn to sell
for seeding purposes, owing to It being
greater source of profit than some OF
the other crops.
A great amount of early bntchering
is looked for this fall, and it is likely
too, that there will be big rush to
the markets with the Christmas holi-
day poultry. Farmers will not be dis
posed to keep poultry until later IN
the season if they can find a market
earlier, and dependence can always be
placed on the markets around the holl'
days.
This is the season Of the year that
the farmers are getting rid OF the
horses which they have had for th'
busy season, and there will be plenty
of animals to be placed on the market
This practice Of selling horses in the
fall and buying again in the spring has
been carried on to greater extent thar
ever in the past few years.
The worth and convenience OF the au-
tomobile IS being realized by the far
mer to greater extent every day. II
is only during the past several years
that manufacturers have been making
concerted efforts to develop trade among
the agriculturists, and many cars have
been sold to the farmers.
That they are discriminating in their
choice is proved by the types Of ears
that they own, many OF which are pro-
ducts of the best manufacturers. The
combination delivery and pleasure is the
most popular with them. Secondhand
dealers of the city find an open mar.
ket always in the country districts for
the sale of used cars. 1t is the pre-
diction that within a few years farmers
living in this and adjoining counties
will rely almost entirely on the auto
mobile in order to transport their pro-
ducts to this city.

PROCLAMATION OF WASTE LAND.

THE Delmarvia Publicity Committee, of which
George Frank Lord is chairman, is taking a
co nmendable interest in the National Drainage bill
now pending before Congress. The committee has
been organized exploit and aesist in developing the
advantages Of the Demaryia Peninsula. In further
ance OF that work it has letters Senators du
Pont and Salisbury and Representative Brockson ask
ing them to give careful consideration the National
Drainage bill and to support it IT, their opinion it
ia wise measure. We informed by the commit
tee that in reply Senator dupont referred particularly
to the necessity Of drainage in the Delmarvia PENN
sula and that Senator Salisbury promised
himself in the bill Thus far Representative Brockson

on the proposed National Drainage law and is well
worthy OF public consideration. 1t is as follows:
A bill has been introduced in the Senate by John
sharp Williams, and in the House by Speaker Clark
which gives the Secretary of the Interior authority TO

MISS JESSIE WOODROW WILSON, daughter Of

charming personality pracuc.l intellectually, and
democratic simplicity that she is prime favorite with
the American people. Delawareans have than a

Deawareans have met her and been charmed by those
personal attributes that make friends for her wher-

President Wilson says he looks upon his daughters
impending marriage strictly private--a solemn.

will look upon the wedding Of the daughter Of their
President being strictly private They hafu
taken that attitude with respect other White House
brides It is scarcely reasonable to suppose they will
do in this instance. Millions OF Americans have a
