FOOD FOR STARVING BELGIANS.

The non-combatants in Belgium men,
women and children are, through no
fault of their own, upon the verge OF
starvation.
With their own crops ruined, their
reserve food supply exhausted, sur
rounded by a ring of steel, their one
hone lies in donations of food from this
great neutral nation.
In response to request from the
chairman of the American Commission
for the Rlief in Belgium, the body
authorized to receive, transport and
distribute food to these people, Cover
nor Miller organized Belgian Relief in
Delaware naming Hon. David 7. Marvel,
of Wilmington State Chairman.
The work in Delaware has made a
good start. Wilmington has sent car,
load of food stuffs each week for several
weeks past and expects to ship several
carloads more in the near future. We
believe that Kent County is ready to do
her part to further this worthy under
taking.
The Committee is especially anxious
for donations of wheat, flour, corn, meal,
coffee. dried peas, beans, canned goods,
cured or salted meats, dried fruits and
all non -perishable food stutts.
We appeal to all the people in Kent
County to respond to this plea. From
our farmers we ask for farm produce,
which will be acceptable in even the
smallest quantities. Sacks will be sup.
nlied bv the Committee and the farmers
bags returned to them.
From our manufacturers and mer-
chants we ask for canned goods ana dry
groceries. new clothing and blankets.
From all our citizens we ask Tor 1000
stuffs, clothing or money.
Kent County is noted for its wei
nrovisioned homes, its fertile farms
its hosDitable boards. Could these starv-
mo women and children come to our
doors no one would refuse them the
hest in the larder. They are the families
of thrifty merchants and OF frugal 5arnl' Ia
ers. not idle or stiffness people. Ineli
appeal should be none the less real De
cause the seal separates them from US
While we are providing Christmas cheel
for our own families, let US rememoel

LARGE YIELDS OF POTATOES.

General A. R. Benson, who raised one
of the largest yields of corn per acre in
the state, has excelled in growing pota-
toes also, and his crop it is declared,
was one of the largest ever gathered in
Delaware. From one acre General Ben
son obtained yield of 247 bushels and
47pounds. His farm is within three miles
of Dover. The yield is considered re-
markable when the condition of the
farm few years ago is considered. At
that time it was practically barren, but
now has been converted into one of
most profitable farms in Kent County.
James 7. Shallcross, of Middletown, and
John F. Bracklin, of Marshallton, are
other leaders in growing potatoes. Mr..
Shalleross raised 1872 bushels and 4S
pounds from one acre, while from a
similar area Mr.. Bracklin gathered 1874
bushels and pounds.

BELIEVE IN GOVERNMENT OWNERSHIP.

The people of Slaughter Neck and
vicinity were given a rare treat at the
school house on Thursday evening of last
week when the entertainment provided
for them by the teacher at the school
was given. The preliminary part Of the
program was given over to music of
various kinds and recitatiOns. The prin-
cipal event of the evening was the debate
on the question Resolved, That the
Government Should Own the Railroad
and Telegraph. The participants had
given the subject much thought and the
Tesult was an excellent line of argument
on both sides of the question. Much
valuable information was impaired by
both teams. After due consideration
the Judges awarded the decision in favor
of the affirmative, the supporters of
which we're Alfred Hudson and Otis

California company had spent a gooc deal of money in machinery and oth- CT improvements after which they found they were on the Parker re- servation. Of course this part of it was their own loss as every one else seemed to understand and know that La Paz was on the reservation and been worked and had lain idle for years with every one knowing that it was valuable placer ground. Be this as it may. the ground is of no use to the Indians for agricultural purposes and it is not useful for any other object than to extract the rlacer gold from the gravel
 The Chamber of Mines & Oil of Los Angeles has taken cognizance, whereby the Indian reservation has been made to include certain min eral lands some of which have been ! worked from time to time by white lOCa1ors. In fact in early days La i Paz Was busy mining town of sev- eral thousand inhabitants and with substantial buildings and stores and it is acknowledged that several mil lions in placer gold was dry washed ! from the gravels.
 | The area is known as the Colo rGdo River Indian Reservation, con- l taining about 75,000 acres of land and mainly on the Arizona side of the river It was originally set aside ! in 1865, but enlarged in 1873 and 1876 It is the opinion of the cham Der of mines and oil that the gov | ernment did not intend to segregate | for the use of the Indians any but the agricultural lands in the river 1 bottom It is now urged by resolu- | tiCn that the western senators and congressman lend their aid to the re- moval of the mineral lands from the l reservation the partition to be made
 by the United States geological sur vey. In principle there is no great good to be derived from the segre-
 ga tion of mineral lands for the bene- fit of any race that does not know how to use them. The Indians have
 rarely been known to engage in min ing.
 In addition to the placer ground
 above referred to there is to our per.
 sonal knowledge lodges containing
 lead, ore and gold quartz. In fac
 there is quite mineralized area dis
 t1ibuted over the confines of the re.
 servation and probably it would jus
 be as well whilst we are speaking O
 the subject that if the lands ar
 thrown open that Arizona and Ari
 zonians should reap some benefi
 from it. See what a long time O
 bother the locators of the Parke
 town site have had in obtaining title
 All the lands mentioned could b
 thrown open to the public, thel there would be more agricultural lam
 left over and above what would be
 fair apportionment to each India, family. Let the prospector with hi
 burro and windlass have a turn a , the mineral ground

Decadence of Prospectlnq

Much has been said of late about the disappearance of the prospector, and according to my observation he is almost extinct; and his decreasing number is due chiefly to two facts: The increasing difficulty of finding mines Chat of making valid discov- cries as required by law) and the obstacles placed in his way by land offices and Forestry Bureau em- ployees Prominent mining men have recently expressed the opinion that most of the large and valuable mines and mining districts in the United States have been already discovered and as a consequence are turning their attention to other countries Statements of that character made by mining engineers of repute are in themselves harmful to the mining industry because of their discourag ing influence Careful reflection
 leads me to the contrary view It is perfectly true that the majority of the large outcropping mines have been discovered, but there must be innumerable others which do not show on the surface and which can only be found by systematic search or by accident in connection with exca- vations made for other purposes Engineering Magazine.

BEER FOR ALL
Everybody Will Soon Be Making
 Their Own Beer at Home

CINCINNATI, Ohio, June z, 1914- brewed at home by our forefathers will now again be brewed as of old. A well known brewmaster of this city has discovered a new way in sup plying beer to everyone in concen- trated form so that by the addition of water and little sugar anyone can now make their own beer at home at a cost of less than one cent a glass Brewmaster Shuh, who IS considered an expert in his line both here and abroad, has been Worklng on this new process for many years and right now he announces the com pletion of his invention. He has con- centrated Barley Malt, Hops and the other ingredients used in making beer so that anyone can now have a pure, sparkling, cooling glass of beer in their own home whenever they want it. His concentrated beer is put up in such a condensed and compact form that it can be delivered to the doorstep by parcel post anywhere in the country. On account of the Pro- 
 hibition Wave which has swept over the country the daily and national drink has been taken away from over 75 per cent of the people This home made beer will soon take the place of brewery beer in thousands of homes in the country not only on account of it's cheapness and con-
 venience but it's purity, healthfulness and strengthening qualities. The
 thrifty housewife will soon see its advantages and great saving. No home needs now to be without it's daily glass of good old lager beer for the home, the farm, the fac tory, the office, the woods, streams and mountains. Easily and quickly prepared-always ready.
 MT. A. $. Shuh of 435 Sycamore St., Cincinnati, Ohio, states that he
 will be glad to furnish anyone who sends him their name and address | full information and also his free booklet, The Secrets of Making Beer at Home"

Two Sad Accidents

Two fatal accidents occurred at Inspiration and Miami mines last week and both the sad endings might have been avoided if the ne cessary care and judgment had been exercised In the first case Lee Berringer met his death in the Scor- pion shaft by a wrong signal and given by some one who was unau- thorized to ring the signals. The mistake cost a fellow workman his life. There is also a widow and four children left behind.
 The fatality in the Miami No. shaft was that of Francis Dupen, a young mining engineer of 2S years of age, and who was promising young man, with an equally prom ising future It appears that Dupen had laid off for the day on account of not feeling well, but for some reason had gone into the mine. Whilst in the cage he got sick or dizzy and fell out of the cage falling distance of $50 feet.
 AS we have repeatedly stated in these columns it doesn't seem to mat ter how much care is exercised or what rules and regulations are laid down for the safety of employees, some one is certain to make a mis- take or forget and I suppose these failures will exist as long as we are human.

last year, when the Swiss Federal Railways bought out the French company, the station, and the grounds. and the strikers demand that the mo nopoly should cease and that they should have free access to the sta tion. A large sum, however, for the "concesion"is involved, and the au- thorities are trying to arrange mat ters, but the "cochers" are impatient as the season has begun.
 The strike methods adopted are mo- vel and effective. Imagine a line of hundred and fifty taxi-cabs in In dian file crawling to the station (which they are allowed to visit if they ''cir culate') as at funeral and then through the principal streets, blocking the or dinary traffic for two hours, and more during the procession. The driv- CTS, who are silent even when "chaff ed' by the crowd, choose their hours carefully during the heaviest traffic. In the first few carriages are their orators, and when the chief squares are reached they briefly appeal for support to the public, who are very well disposed towards the cochers.
 The other morning the strikers var jed their methods. In the wide av- enue leading to the station half of the road is up" at present and in the half-street the drivers massed their | carriages in one huge jam. The gen darmes asked them to circulate" and in renlI, the pOcherS in the first line of battle took their whips and the
 reins and departed to a neighboring

Contact Alterations

Of late several rocks have been sent for classification and they have mainly been different forms of gar
 net and epidote and some have gone so far to say that they contained radio o-activity-they may but no one has been able to detect it outside of
 he radioactive mind of the party saying Now these rocks are com
 non in contacts of nitrusuies with limestone all over AriZona. On Can anea some of these altered contacts are in association with ore bodies.
