| desire to announce that we
now have on display at u es-
Enlistment, 1905 East 18th street,
as fine a line of Suit Samples as
have ever been shown in the city.
Every sample shown is either from
the famous Detmer or Taylor
Mills, which is guarantee super
Tor in fabric.
l have lately secured the +
ice of Kansas City's expert cutter
whose cutting and fitting ability
is unsurpassed in this section. He
cut for years for the most exclu-
sive tailoring shop in Kansas City,
where the cheapest suits were
made at a cost not less than $50.
1t has been no small effort to
secure such exclusive patterns
and a cutter like the one above
mentioned, all of which is an adj
vantage to you.
The thought has often occurred
to me since moving to Kansas City,
that the Negro rightfully boasts
of his fine schools, able teachers,
drug stores, physicians, dentists,
and in fact successful men in
every phase of life's endeavor;
but where do they buy their
clothesY l have wondered what
each individual thinks of his own
efficiency. If he were in business
would he want the support of his
fellow men?
This establishment is not dis
posed to "knock or run down"
any of like nature in Kansas City.
Our policy is "All men up" 1t
is a lamentable fact, however,
that a press table and iron, with
positively no knowledge Of tailor
ing, has been quite sufficient for
some entering this much abused
field of labor.
The Golden Steam Dye Works
in its every appointment proves
to the contrary. Every workman
employed is an expert in his line.
You take no chances here, we
guarantee every job from the in
sertion of the smallest patch to
the cleaning and making of the
most expensive garments. Here
you get the largest values for the
money we ask you to pay. We
are asking that you stop in. Ring
our phone; yes, give us a trial that
we may demonstrate our super
iority in this line.

National Grangers
Boost Delaware

That the visit of the National
Grange, Patrons of Husbandry, to
Wilmington has been great boom
to the State and mas done much to
place Delaware on the map, is the
opinion of w. p. Peach, member
of the executive committee of Har-
mony Grange, No. II, of Mill
Greek hundred.
Mr.. Peach said that the reputa-
tion Of Delaware as a corn-grow-
ing and apple growing state had
been greatly enhanced since the
grange meeting began. c. e.
Spence of Oregon and G. B. kegley
of Washington, both great apple
growing state, admitted that Della
ware had them beaten on apples.
Mr.. Peach, acting on behalf OF
Harmony Grange, sent samples OF
apples raised by the members OF
that grange with national delegates
to 30 states.
State Senator Fl. M. Culbertson
of Media, Wisconsin, took some
corn to place on exhibit in glass
case in the High School at his home
and also at the State Institute.
The bulk of the corn came from
Mr.. Peach's farm. He has NJ
name for his corn, but has beer
breeding his variety for 45 years
and the yield is from 80 to 1O(
bushels an acre, depending or
whether the season is wet or dry.

Another Potato Story

The story on potatoes which ap-
peared in last weeks Post brought
out another feature, crop grown,
about Newark this season.
A. Seydell, who moved from Mil
ford last spring and purchased the
Lovett farm, has made a remark
able showing with a potato called
the Late Rose. Mr.. Seydell is a
practical farmer with a smack Of
science thrown in. He is an exper-
.imentor, farmer student of his
crops. This section appealed to
him at first because Of the advan-
tages of location. His first sea-
son here, in spite Of the dry wealth
er, has won his approval on soil
conditions. A man Of successful
experience in vegetable and fruit
growing, we can appreciate his
statement that our land here is
well adapted to mixing crops, sup
posed by many to be a success
only in the lower counties. This
land here, says Mr.. Seydell, will
grow potatoes at a profit. He ad-
vocates the late paintings. The
Late Rose, a variety he brought
from the lower county, has given
him a yield here of $50 bushels
per acre. His planting was made
on July 18th. Considering the
drouth from that time, this is re.
markable showing. To show that
it was not altogether a peculiar
type of cultivation, neighbor OF
Mr.. Seydell grew 40 bushels from

Militiamen On Guard

Owing to the fact that Delaware
provides no rural police who can
