A WORD FOR PENCADER

It is reported that some changes
are promised in the Court House
al the next organization of the
Levy Court. In this connection it
is said that Pencader Hundred will
be recognized for the showing
made at the recent election. AL
though we cannot learn just where
the favOrs will fall-sufficient to
say, that perhaps Pencader is to be
recognized at last. If we were sus-
picious. we should say that this
is only a rumor. And perhaps
it is. We will adopt the policy OF
watchful waiting"
Pencader has for several years
played an important part in elec-
ton results and at that time she is
a center of interest throughout the
county. At criticar periods, she
has more than once changed the
whole phase Of the situation. Po'
litical wiseacres predict her defeat
but she stands and is standing
safe.
With no friend or friends to
speak for favor, she has the men
capable of rendering good County
Service. To that end, we look with
interest TO the new appointment.

A GOOD MOVE

A Students Employment Bu-
reau is the latest step in College
progress. 4 committee composed
of Prof. Tiffany, Joseph Weaver
and H. L. BOnham, Secretary Con-
tinental Fibre Company, has the
affair in charge. The Bureau will
conduct the business in an up-to-
date manner. Forms Of Request
for Student Help, Applications
and Filing Cards of References
have been printed and the Commit
tee is already at work, having
placed some of the students in posi-
tions where they can work at stat
ed times.
The idea is most commendable
and will no doubt be of great as
sistance to many a worthy student,
who is obliged to pay his way thru
college. The Students , Bureau in
many Of our colleges has become a
very important factor. We pre-
dict its success at Delaware.
It is hoped that any one having
some little work will remember
this and ask the Committee to send
them a man.

Aunt MaTy's charitable idea went up

love and her hopes, but probably her

house and pick up some of your
treasures enough to make fur

will start for the city tomorrow +

Before Dick had gotten back had
gone through the house and picked
up some small pictures and rugs, a
tea service and a few other things
that Aunt Mary though she would
like to take with her.
Catching Dick by telephone, told
him to send up two large packing
trunks, as Aunt Mary was going
home with US.
When he arrived at the house he
found the lawyer there and Uncle
Johns will was read. Much to Dicks
and my surprise, Uncle John gave
Dick five thousand dollars and said:

Waverly, Jr., and Margaret, his wife,
my much-beloved wife, Mary, and 1
ask them to be to her a son and
daughter as long as she shall live"
1t was pitiful to see the question
ing, eager look with which Aunt Mary
scanned our faces. Dick held out his
arms to her and she leaned against
his breast and wept softly while the
other requests we're made. The home
was left to Aunt Mary Internationally
and the income of one hundred thou
sand dollars for her life. At her death
the estate is to be divided between
Dick. Jack and Mollie.

after the will was read. John and
talked this over and we decided that,
as you and Margie were the executors
and as you would be bothered more

no more than fair that you should
have something for it.

cause of the uncertainty OF Transports
ton to nearly all the countries that
usually are large purchasers, which is
most unfortunate for them. But even
though they We're to be able to ship the
apples to Europe they would be met with
such low prices as to be discouraged, in
asmuch as the apple growing countries
of that continent have had big yield
this year and prices have been knocked
down accordingly. In some places OF
the British Isles apples will go to waste
in large quantities, so the report has it,
the loss being estimated at hundreds of
tons of the fruit. Therefore, in view of
the conditions across the water, there is
some rising of spirits on the part of
American producers who were feeling
depressed over their inability to ship
their apples to the European markets as
usual.

THE NEW PROGRESSIVE
CANDIDATE.

The man whom the leaders of the
Progressive party in Vermont selected
as a candidate for governor, following
the declination of the convention nom.
inee to run, is not widely known
throughout the state but in the councils
OF the Progressive party he has been
prominent ever since the party came into
existence in the state. In Caledonia
county however, DR.. Walter J. Aldrich
il quite well known through his attend
ance at St Johnsbury academy and his
practice of medicine in that town for 81
years. He is New Hampshire man by
birth and is 46 years of age. From
what we have heard of him, we should
say that he is in politics from honest
conviction rather than for what he can
get out of it; so he cannot be accused
OF being self-seeker at this time when
the candidacy for governor is thus I'M
tremendously thrust upon him. There
in he will command some extra support,
perhaps, which might have been denied
to some other man who might have been
selected as the standard-bearer OF the
party.
