Improvement Association Of this work by
giving those who helped a picnic, so on
Thursday afternoon most of the children
Of the Rehoboth Public School met on
the picnic grounds in the pines and en-
ioyed the good time planed for them.
Mrs. George Poynter and daughter
Reba, of Lewes, spent the week end at
their cottage on Rehoboth Avenue.
As the date for the annual town cleo
ton draws near, much curiosity is dis
PLAYED as to who viii be our next mayor.
The present mavor who has only resided
in Rehoboth three weeks or thereabout
this year, is not eligible for reelection
as our charter states a mayor can only
be candidate who shall be a bona-fde
resident of town, in good faith resi-
dent. The admirers of Mr.. Ross cannot
claim that he is that. and all feel that II
lie had been present at the time Of the
storm that thousands OF dollars worth of
public property would have been saved
that was allowed to wash away on ac-
count of the criminal negligence of those
who represented Mr.. Ross. Who can
succeed Mr.. Ross There is not much
material TO choose from. Mr.. Walter
Burton is not a bana-fide resident. He
may vote here, and this may be his legal
residence but he only occupies his hotel
Or home during the simmer months
If as is rumored DR.. Walter Robinson
will now reside here permanently, we
believe he would be an exceptionally /
good candidate; or DR.. W. K Messick /.
yho has recently exemplifed his worth /.
md capacity by giving us an admirable, up /
o-date postofice. II really seems that /

mayor should eliminate him from COM
peting for town contracts.
Whoever we have, let us hope that ne
will conduct the town on business pm
ciples. as Dr.. Messick conducted the
postofIice and not as our town has been
managed for the last few years. Let us
hope that the new Office will promptly
organize a proper and suitable fire de-
partment. We have had our town water
for twelve months Who knows anything
about our fire department. Can we blame
the insurance companies for not reducing
our rates when we neglect to organize
and dress our fire fighters

OYERCHARCfS 10 BE
 REFUNDED LOCALLY

Little Rock, Dec. TT. S. Walton, freight agent for the Iron Mountain railroad, with headquarters at St. Louis, advised members of the Arkan- sas Railroad Commission at a meet ing Saturday that new and better system regarding freight warehouses on the Iron Mountain will become eff fective at once.
 The new system will provide that whenever an overcharge is found in a freight shipment the person holding the claim may present the paid freight bill to the local freight agent and receive the amount of the over charge upon demand. It was former ly necessary to send the claim to the freight claim agent at St. Louis, MT. Walton. This sometimes caused a de- lay of as much as six months in re- ceiving the refund. It was also agreed at the meeting Saturday that if the local freight agent should re fuse to make the refund the person or persons holding the claim shall take the matter up with the railroad commission.

FIRE UNDERWRITERS
 AWAITING TEST CASE

Little Rock, Dec. 7.-Following the ruling of many of the state insurance commissioners that fire insurance companies must pay the tax imposed by the new war tax bill upon each policy issued, the National Board of Fire Underwriters has issued a state ment accepting such a ruling pending the outcome of a test case to be filed in the Wisconsin courts. The fire in- surance companies say they believe that congress intended that the tax be paid by the recipient of the policy, but in the majority of the states it has been ruled that the company must pay the tax. Auditor l.. L. Coffman has made ruling to this effect.
 The tax imposed by the new law is one-half of one per cent of the premium.

STOP BUYING EXPENSIVE
 COUCH REMEDIfS
Make the Best at Home.

Money spent for the old-style, ready-made cough syrups in bottle holding only ? to ?, 1-2 ounces is very largely wasted, because most of them are composed principally of sugar and water. Yet you have to pay the same price as if it was all medicine. Stop wasting this money. You can make a better cough medicine at home at one fifth the cost. Merely go to Greeson Drug Company and ask for ? ounces
 (5Oc worth) of Schiffmann's Concen- trated Expectorant. Mix this with one pint of granulated sugar and one- half pint of boiling water, which makes a full pint GIG ounces). This new, simple, pleasant remedy is guar anteed to relieve the worst cough or cold. Also excellent for Bronchial Asthma, Bronchitis, Group, Hoarse- ness and Whooping Cough. One bot tie will make enough homemade cough medicine to probably last the whole family the entire winter. Children like it, it is so pleasant to take and it positively contains no chloroform, opium, morphine or other narcotics, as do most cough mixtures. Keep it on hand in case of emergency and stop each cough before it gets firm hold. The above druggist has been authoriz- ed to return the money in every single case where it does not give perfect satisfaction or is not found the best remedy ever used. Absolutely no risk is run in buying this remedy under this positive (Adv.)
