MILK AND BUTTER SHORTAGE


Owing to the dry season and its effect
upon pasture, Smyrna and central Della
ware is suffering from a shortened
milk and butter supply. j. D. Rey-
nolds & Son, our leading milk dealers
have been for weeks buying the milk
supply of neighboring farmers to help
out in serving their route. AS con-
sequence, they raised the price of milk
a cent on every quart. Other milk
dealers are experiencing the same trou
BILE of shortage. Country butter is
also scarce. There is practically no
pasture for the cattle and the price of
feed is high. The shortage is felt in
the cities, as during the past two weeks
Wilmington milk dealers have secured
the vicinity Of MiddIetown looking for
new shippers. They met with but lit
tie success, as their contract was only
to be for few months, until their re-
galar shippers could get their cattle
fed up. They offered 81 per hundred,
which is. about 20 cents higher than the
Middletown stations are paying,

CONGRATULATIONS /!

nESPITE long and persistent cam
- paign of malicious defamation in
the columns of the Every Evening,
Thomas S. Fouracre has beenre-elected
for four years Commissioner of the
Levy Court for the 9th district, and
that, too, against a stronger antago-
mist and by doubled majority!
No finer compliment was ever paid a
modest and faithful official. It is dis
tinet endorsement by his friends and
neighbors not less than by the general
public of his two years of wise and
efficient public service At the same
time it is singing rebuke to the gang
of knaves who sought by misrepresen-
tations and lies to deceive the voters
and harm his candidacy.
We feel assured that Mr.. Fouracre's s
course in the future in that response
BILE station will give renewed illustra-
tions of the same honest and fear
less devotion to the public interests
which has distinguished his past official
career.

VALE BROCKSON

Lad President Wilson been as patri-
otic as Delaware's representative
and had he been as true to his own
party platform, and as faithfully kept
his anti-election pledges, he would not
have made that gratuitous, shameful
surrender to England Of his country s
shipping interests, and he would then
have been spared the scathing rebuke
he received at the hands Of his fellow
citizens in the late elections from
Maine to California.
In his strange itch to 'tdisable the
benefits of his own country, +" he delib-
erately broke his solemn promises to
oppose the repeal Of the Act of Con-
gress giving to the coastwise shipping
of our land free passage through
the Panama canal whereby that strug-
Cling merchant marine had hopes to
contest Great Britain's supremacy of
the seal
So Mr.. Franklin BrocksOn's honor
able career in the House was over
whelmed by the avalanche of popular
disapproval which has greeted this and
other blunders of the president.
When new Congress shall right
this reasonable outrage by repeating
this repeal, we know his successor, Mr..
Miller, will follow Mr.. Brockson's cour-
ageOus course and as Loyalty maintain
the honor and just claims of his own
country.
