Fruit Crop In Delaware

Report comes from Berlin, Md,
the center Of the fruit industry OF
the ePninsula, that the crop of
both apples and peaches, through
out Delmarvia, is unusually prom
ising. Early apples Of the Yellow
Transparent variety have already
begun moving. The quality is fine
and the demand seems good. Vel
low Transparent will be followed
with such varieties as Fourth of
July, Early Ripe, Red Astrachan,
Williams Early Red and later in
the fall, the Wealthy.
Carman peaches will begin NOV.
ing about July 20, followed by
Belle of George, Elberta and Craw

ted to the bar in 1855. After hold
ing the posts Of deputy attorney
general Of Sussex county, clerk of
the assembly and revizer of laws,
he entered the eneral Assembly in
1852, and was member for seven
teen years. In 1765, as member
of the Stamp Act Congress, he
helped to drawn up the colonial
protest to the British Houses of
Parliament. That same year he
was appointed judge of the Court
Of Common Pleas Of Delaware, and
ordered all court proceedings to be
recorded on unstamped paper,
starting thus a novel and effective
means of protest against the OBJ
noxious duty. The only member of
Congress to hold his seat right thru
the war, he was forward on the
various committees which drew up,
among other important papers, the
Declaration Of Independence. He
was so prominent in the young gov
ernment that he became a special
object Of aversion to the British.
He was active in procuring the
election of Jefferson to the Presi-
dency and was governor Of Penn
sylvania 1799-1S0S. He died in
1916. Three strong men, whose

Growing Tomatoes
For Early Markets

Frank B. Mcclure, OF the Silver
Lake Gardens, Dover, winner OF
the $500 prize offered in connec-
ton with the Sunday Star early
vegetable contest for the first crate
of field grown ripe tomatoes, has
demonstrated that Delaware pro-
ducts can be grown ahead of the
Jersey varieties. 1t means ii the
proper effort is made in this dlrec-
iton. the Delaware grower can get
the benefit of high prices instead OF
their product coming on when the
markets are glutted with produce
from other States.
The prize-winning tomatoes OF
Mr.. Mcclure were grown III a held
of 5000 plants. They are OF the
Earliana variety, and the seed were
sown February 10, in greenhouse
constructed by Mr. McGuire. They

pots. April Is. No fertilizer OF
anv kind was used in the green
house or cold frame, other than tlne,
well-rotted manure being fixed with
the soil for the benches.
The plants were set May l. Mr;
McGuire usually sets them April

this season because Of the cold and
wet weather. The soil in which
the plants were set is moderately

previous year.

The Delaware Signers

A review of local history is never
untimely and the following, clipped
from The Sunday Star Of July 5,
should interest every Delawarean.
In celebrating the adoption OF
the Declaration of Independence,
let us pause few moments to re-
member Dlaware's connection with
that immortal instrument. Della
ware had three representatives III
the Congress, namely, Caesar Rod
ney, George Read and Thomas Nc
Kean. Of these, Caesar Rodney
was the only native Of Delaware,
and it was he, who, when Read and
Mexican were deadlocked, reached
Philadelphia after his historic ride
from Lewes, and threw the vote OF
Delaware for the Declaration. Rod
ney was born in Dover in 1928. At
the age of % he was appointed high
sheriff, becoming justice Of the
peace and judge Of the lower courts
He represented his county in the
State Legislature, was a member OF
the Stamp Act Congress at New
York in 1865, was speaker Of the
House in 1869, and delegate to the
eneral Congress in 1774. In poll
tics he was a Democrat and the
strong opposition Of the Royalists
caused his defeat in the election of
1777. He was again chosen to Con-
gress towards the end Of 1777, but
| before taking his seat was appoint
ed president Of Delaware, in which
office he remained four years. He
died in 1884.
George Read, the second Of our
signers, was born in Chester, Pa,
in 1873, was educated there and at
New London, and was admitted to
the Pennsylvania bar in 1852. AS
encouragement Of Kent and Sus-
sex he penned an impressive mem
o1ial to the British Government,
pointing out the dangers likely to
attend their project Of colonial tax.

A MAN WITH AN
INTERESTING HISTORY

There has been gentleman in
our midst during the past week
whose interesting stories and remi-
niscences of life among the In
dams proved highly entertaining
to those who had the pleasure of
meeting him.
w. N. Wallace, the person re-
ferred to, spent the best part of
the past week in Monte Vista, the
guest of his cousin, j. +. Wallace
Leaving his home in Indiana over
thirty years ago to adopt an out
door life for the benefit of his
health, Mr.. Wallace went to New
Mexico and took up his residence
on the Navajo reservation, near
Pennington.
Being a frst-class druggist and
possessing the knowledge of herbs
and drugs common to men of that
profession, he soon gained the con-
fidence of the Indians by prescrib-
ing for those who happened to be
i'll and by advising and counseling
with those who needed friend.
He has acquired the Navajo Ian
guage and speaks it as huently as
a native. His advice is constantly
being sought by the red men of the
reservation and he is highly re-
spected by them. Mr.. Wallace
takes good deal of pride in men,
tioning the fact that the Navajos
receive no annuities from the gov
eminent and are self-supporting.
Mr.. Wallace left Wednesday night
for Pueblo. After spending few
weeks in Pueblo, Colorado Springs
and Denver he will return to his
home on the reservation.

SUNDAYS BALL GAMES

Last Sunday Center defeated
Saguacbe at the former place by a
score of 4 to |. Center was as
sisted by four Monte Vista play
ers, Hubbard pitching Hub"
struck out about fifteen men and
allowed one hit.
The score of to and ten in
nings shows that some ball game
was had at Alamosa when the team
at that place defeated Del Norte.
The game stood 2 and 2 for several
innings and each side had 3 scores
in the ninth. The winning run
came about when the Del Norte
pitcher fielded a grounder and
tossed the ball to an Alamosa coach
who was standing pear first base
instead of to the Del Norte first
sacker

LECTURE ON OLD MEXICO

Ioi' Mduflque II. tUOnIaleS.
formeTl y public official and prom
inent citizen of Old Mexico, gave
lecture at Broadway opera house
Tuesday night on Mexico. He
spoke for short time on the early
history of Mexico, but devoted the
greater part of his lecture to the
reign of Diaz, his exile and the
civil war following. He said the
press is not reliable and too often
censored by the powers that be,
and the public is often misin-
formed on political and industrial
matters.
The inhabitants are divided into
three classes the rich, the middle
class and the poems. The latter
are landless and wholly dependent
on the charity or good will of the
land owners. Ignorance prevails
to an alarming extent, which ena-
bles the few to rob the natives of
the lands that were handed down
to them by their ancestors.
Porfirio Diaz was a military des-
pot and ruled with rod of iron
until there came an awakening
under Madero, who as president
sought to lead his people by kind
ness and to better their social and
economic conditions. Madero was
not supported by the monied arts
tocracy, who connived at his assas-
sination and gladly recognized
Huerta as his lawful successor.
There never can be peace in
Mexico so long as the masses are
landless tenants-peons, Huerta
represents the present order of
things, while the Constitutionalists
mean to reinstate the people in the
possession of their lands, of which
they have been wrongfully de-
prived.
Mr.. Gonzales gave panoramic
views of some of the monuments
of art and beauty of which Mexico
is proud. Mexico City is one of
the richest cities in the world, and
at an altitude of over 1000 feet is
"A desirable place in which to live
both summer and winter.
When Vera Cruz was first taken
the Mexicans feared it meant con.
quest and annexation, but that fear
has been dispelled and they now
look upon President Wilson as
their friend and champion of
good government. The middle and
lower classes desire the overthrow
of Huerta as the first condition of
lasting peace.
