To Delay Choice Of
Judge Cray's Successor

Senator Salisbury Of Delaware
called uoon President Wilson last
week and renewed his request for
the appointment of Judge Victor
B. Woolley as circuit judge to sue
ceed Judge Gray.
President Wilson made it plain
that there would be no appoint
ment in the near future OF the ad-
iournment of court. He did not
indicate his attitude.
Senator Salisbury said the i'm
preston existing in Delaware was
that the President had assured the
delegation Of lawyers who visited
him several months ago Of his pre-
ference for Judge Woolley.
It is reported the President will
not make the appointment until
after the November elections and
that the Supreme Court Justice
will be named at the same time.

COUNTY AGENT
COOCH BEGINS WORK
cooperative Buying Consid-
cred

Levi II. Cooch, who was elected
as County Farm Agent for New
Castle county under the provisions
OF the recent Agricultural Exten-
sion bill passed by Congress, began
his work on Saturday, August 1st.
lie Is devoting his time at present
to visit to the farmers in this vi
entity, and acquainting himself
with the actual working conditions
existing While Mr.. Cooch knows
these conditions better perhaps
than anyone who could have been
secured, his editorial work has for
the last few years taken him away
most OF his time. He therefore
feels he should get in close touch
with the actual needs before any
definite line of work is commenced.
q informing to this idea, Mr.. Cooch
would not consent to make any
statement for the present. He
wants the cooperation of the farm
er. With that much of real mate
rial help will result.
One of the first things started
will be the organization of Farmers
Clubs for cooperative buying and
selling.
A meeting of several farmers will
be held on Monday evening of next
week at the Welsh Tract School
house to talk over such an organi-
cation. It will be in the nature of
a general discussion in which the
farmers will see if any cooperation
can be had toward the general
good.
