IF real road legislation could have
been enacted at the recent session of the
Legislature, the people of the two lower
counties of Delaware would have been
benefited far beyond their realization
and the future prosperity of these two
counties would have been brought to an
early realization. 1t is useless to tenn
Porize by enacting make-shift road laws.
We must reach the position of State
Highway Commission, with power to
build, plan for and make any changes in
existing highways without interference
from individuals or county governments,
It will be as well for repairs only to be
attempted under our present system until
real road laws are enacted, with real
highway commission to direct the work
of building the main State highways in
all parts of Delaware. It can be done
under the present boulevard laws, but it
would be better to have it a constitutional
provision in the laws.

II the legislature of 1915 has done no
other business than to enact the laws
which will bring reform in the business
methods of Sussex county, its cost would
have been well worth the money to the
people. The underlying principle of as
sessment of property is the real basis for
dissatisfied conditions, and the inequal-
tiles of the assessments have been the
source for dissatisfaction, through the
undervaluation in one district while an
other district was assessed at or near its
real value, which made disproportionate
charges in districts where similar prop
erty exists. The new method to be in
stalled will. if properly started, go far to
equalize the assessments of property and
therefore the leVying of equal taxes. The
curtailment Of the Levy Court by estab-
hshing a Commission ofthree men should
get business system for the county in
stead of the incompetent methods which
have been practiced for forty years or
more. In establishing a tax receiver for
taxes, an entirely new system will be in
stalled, which will be of equal import !
aflce to the people as will be the assess |
lAent, as it should resalt in the saving of |
a considerable sum of money over the
present system of district collectorships; |
with their resultant allowances In addi- |
ton to the percentage paid, which have
aanOunted to untold Sums of the peoples
money. It has been a rich field for the
httle politician for years, and the people |
have paid the bill. We do not charge
the Levy Court of Sussex county with
being dishonest it is only incompetent.

Attention Of RsaderA

Eastwood, N. Y, Mar. 9, 1915.
Mr.. J. e. Davis,
Bridgeville, Del
Dear Sir:
We read with interest your letter of
March 9Th, describing how comfortable
and contented your chicks are under the
Candee Colony BroOder. Get your pros
poets there to see the Candee mothering
the birds at night, and we know you
will get an order every time.
We know that y0ur seeing that every
Candee Brooder properly installed and
regulated, will mean many additional
orders for you, and many boosters who
will recommend the equipment to their
friends and neighbors. Every broOder
you sell this year should sell four or five
next season
Yes, we certainly are proud Of our
equipment; and yours and the hundreds
of similar reports of excellent service
warrant US in feeling so. We heartily
agree with you that the day is not far
distant when every large farmer will
have his chicks Matched in a mammoth
incubator, and will employ Colony Brood
ers to raise them. With this outlook
before US, both you and ourselves are
Aully WhALhuJGu III uSiilR every GuOTb
now to sell Candee equipment and to
establish firm foothold for big future
business.
We are confident that you will sell
enough brOoders this season to fill a car
load. and that it will be more likely two
or three carloads next year.
Yours very truly.
Candee Incubator & Brooder Co.
The above letter was written without
any solicitation upon my part, or any
thought of reaching the columns of a
newspaper. am taking the liberty of
having it published, merely to show to
the poultry raisers that | am not only
the Candee Colony BrOoders
but am making daily sales of them.
Every principal of this brooder is just
right. When you come and see the nice,
big, strong chicks that l am raising in
this brooder you will agree with me on
this point. l am sure that you will be
surprised when | tell you their age.
Remember this brOOder is perfectly safe;
more so than the majority of the stoves
in your homes, and the expense of run
ming it is but a trife This brooder
brOOds from 300 to 500 chicks Write for
our big circular telling you all about it.
