REPUBLICAN STATE TICKET
For Member Of Congress
THOMAS W. MILLER
For State Treasurer
WILLIAM J. SWAIN
For Auditor Of Accounts
CHARLES J. LUFF

TT HAS been suggested by the Della
ware Republican and endorsed by sew
eral state papers, that the County Farms
now known as Almshouse Farms, be
used by the State Experimental Station
as the demonstration farms which are
to be located in the various parts of the
state, and be under the direct manage
ment Of experienced men employed by
the government. This is a very proper
idea, if the experiment can be worked
out without increasing the cost of main
tanning these farms, or by even main
tanning the present revenue received
from them. This will attract attention
10 the business Of managing the farms
from practical standpoint, and possibly
be the means of spreading information
among the people generally 1t will GER
tainly be no disadvantage to the farmers
of the three counties to adopt this plan,
and to give it fair try ont. The politi-
cal interests have had very quiet little
source of profit in a small way through
these Almshouse Farms, and it is time
that the graft be broken mp.

Every farmer is working early and late
either saving fodder or picking and de-
livering tomatoes. The latter is turning
out a fair crop only, but the prices have
ruled high.
The special revival services; or, rather
the Evangelistic Service, at Willis Chanel
at which the Berg Sisters have been the
main attraction, has been a great success.
The attendance has been unusually large

WHILE Milford has hoped for and
longed to see the time arrive when a day
current Of electricity will be served for
the use of the people, the all powerful
Light and Water Commission sits tight
and refuses to grant the desires of the
people for service by the plant which they
own and must support. This condition
Of affairs seems to be a similar condition
against which the people of Smyrna are
crying out, only in the case of
Smyrna, the Town Council controls the
electric light and water supply direct.
without the intervention of a Commission.
It has been suggested that the only way
to get a day current in Milford is to have
the Light and Water Commission abol
ished by the Legislature but it appears
the sister town of Smyrna has difficulty
in ngetting this service through their Town
Council. If the people of Milford are to
be served at any time in the future. the
Light and Water Commission might de-
sign to let a little information leak out
as to their intentions, or at least as what
steps they have or expect to take. to-
wards sscertaining the actual conditions
Of this service. The Milford Chronicle
will take the power for its plant and
guarantee a revenue to the Light and
Water Commission Of forty dollars per
month as a minimum charge. Will the
Light and Water Commission Of Milford |
continue to sit tight and disregard the
demands of the people of Milford? Or.
will they listen to the needs of their pa
irons, and install the day service and as
sist in building it into a profitable enter |
prise2 If the policy Of do nothing, and
the people be damned, is continued, then
it will be we'll for the next Legislature to
come to the rescue Of the taxpayers of
and amend the act creating the
present Light and Water Commission so
that the present members can be dis
lodged from their positions and a real
board in sympathy with the times and
leeds Of the people be set at work. Lets
zee what will be done in the next few
months, and then take action.

IT THE editorials of the Democrat,
papers of Kent County are to be taken a.
oracles of what the result will be, if all
their candidates are elected, then the
milleneum of good government will have
then arrived, and a halo for honest polit-
ical practices will crown every Office
holder of that political faith. Umfortun
ately the records do not prove the state
ment TO be true, and we very much ques-
tion if the management of county affairs
under a solid democratic government
would be as honest as even the present
majority. It is plain to all the people
who are not office-holders. or who desire
to become ofice-holders, that the present
form of county government will have to
give way to more practical business
methods. The roads will have to be
taken out of the political control Of the
levy court members, and placed where
trained men experienced in road building,
with a competent engineering depart
ment to direct them, will have absolute
Of all road building as well as
road planning. The methods Of assessing
and collecting the taxes will have to be
TO one where the cost of hand
ling the peoples money will be less, and
the plan of county government be
brought to business lines Only a radi-
cal change in the laws regulating our
civic form of government will affect this
much needed reform. By the electing.
any set Of officials will not bring this
ibout. it requires legislative action.

Kansas City Cattle
 and Sheep Prices

Kansas City Stock Yards, August IT, 1914. Cattle of all kinds were in good demand last week. and the general market advanced 15 to 30 cents. The supply was 25, coo head smaller than same weeks supply last year. The run today is 19,O0O head, largest Monday run this season. Steer buyers demand 10 to 15 lower prices to-day, and after considerable haggling salesmen conceded that amount on medium Steers in the native division. prime steers selling steady to 10 lower. with a top of $10.15. Middle class Kansas and Missouri grass steers, weighing 1. 100 to 1.230 lbs, sold at ST. to $8.60. Cows and heifers found a good outlet at close to steady prices, particularly me- dium and common cows. A hurry order for war canned beef was placed with Armour last week. which helps the market on everything that can be used to fill it. A good many country buyers are here-today and stock CTS andfeeders are selling steady. Fleshy feeders are worth ST. .75 to $8. 25. and stock steers large ly $6. 50 to $7.50. Quarintine ar rivals are only 57 cars to-day. and sales in that diylsion do not show as much decline as in the native division, steady to 10 lower describing the market there. Top in that division is $7.20. although good Oklahoma wintered steers are quotable up to $7. 55. Common light steers are quotable to $7.55. Common light steers sell downwards to $5.5 50. and good quartering cows at $5.5O to $500. Killers have small stocks of meat on hand. and the general situation favors the selling side, and the decline to day IS due to set of conditions effective only for the day. Hogs opened 10 to 20 lower to-day, receipts 8 300 head in the sheep division. Utah lambs. 64 lbs average. brought $8 9 to-day. Wethers sold at S5- 90 ewes, $5.5O. Good feeding lambs would sell at $500 but so far thls season packers have taken the Western offerings with such light sorts that few feeders have been available. Feeding stock will be more plentiful from this time forward.

HUNT FOR worst
OF AUTO BANDITS
BY The United Press.

By The United Press.
KANSAS CITY, Mo. July %. With
but meagre description to 20 upon.
the entire detective staff Of the CITY
police force is today working to effect
the capture OF an automobile bandit.
who last night, while working the
fashionable Cliff Drive, shot and
probably fatally injured one man. se-
cured valuables to the extent Of $3.50.
and forced one couple to disrobe.
The wounded man, Jerome b. Dyer.
q. wholesale hay merchant, is in the
Grace Hospital with a wound
through the back and abdomen. He
was driving with Miss Marie Swartz.
Dyer was wearing a 81 900 ring and a
jewel-studded watch. and he resisted.
throwing the jewelry into the grass.
In the struggle the bandit shot him.
The ring and watch were recovered.
Just prior to this hold-up, the same
highwayman held up L. A. McDermitt.
and his niece, Mildred McDermitt.
Securing $3.50 worth of valuables
from McDermitt, the hold-up man
forced the girl to bandage McDer-
mitts eyes with a handkerchief and he
bandaged the girls eyes. He then
forced them both to completely dis
robe. He said he made them do this
