Playing the greatest defensive
game that they have displayed this
season. the Wilmington High School
football men handed the eleven Of the
Baltimore Polytechnic Institute its
greatest surprise of the year when
they held them TO a scoreless tie. The
Baltimoreans left town much disap-
pointed eleven after the game, as they
came here with the expectation of
trouncing the Cherry and White lads.
Time and again the burly Baltimore
hackfeld rushed the stone wall line OF
Wilmington but every time they came
TO a halt with little gains. The end
runs were always cut short by the
local end men. The backheld Of the
local eleven put up a brilliant game
on the defense. but on the offense they
we're baffled by the husky line OF the
visitors. who held the Delaware Col
lege eleven 10 a close score last sea-
son. The feature of the game was the
wonderful punting Of Harry Loose
who on several occasions kicked tn,
bah out OF the danger zone wher
their opponents threatened
In attendance az the game was
large delegation Of players of tn
Chester High School eleven. who viii

are being made for the couple to
spend some time at Jekyl Island. So

Government TO lID FARMERS
OF AGRICUL.
TURE TAKE ACTION IN
CHARLESTON.
United States Congress Urged to Es-
tablish Chambers OF Agriculture
Throughout Country.

Charleston, Dec. 15.-The Associa-
tion of Southern Commissioners of
Agriculture after an executive ses-
sion here today announced the adop-
ton of resolutions calling upon the
United States congress to establish
a "semi-officjal national, State, county
and township system" of chambers
of agriculture. The sole purpose"
of the organizations, the resolutions
urged, would be to facilitate and to
develop the marketing and distribu-
ton OF farm products lin a local and
upon nationwide basis" Resolu-
tions also were passed. it was added
urging upon congress the creation Of
a rural credit system, enacted upon
the basis of organization of borrow
ers and not of lenders"
The resolutions urging a system of
chambers of agriculture, as an
nounced by E. j. Watson, commits
sioner Of agriculture Of South Caro-
lima and one Of the signers of the
resolutions, would provide that con-
gress empower the president Of the
United States to appoint a commits
sion of seven members to organize
the chambers Of agriculture on the
following basis: Township charters
would be granted upon application
of at least 25 persons. and later
county and then State charters would
be granted upon the basis OF in
creased membership. When 20 State
chambers Of agriculture had been or
ganized the proposed law would en-
power the chambers to elect repre-
sentatives who would form "the semi
official national chamber Of agricul-
ture." This body then would super
sede the original seven organizers ap-
pointed by the president. The resolu-
tions proposed that chambers Of agri-
culture be unattached to any purely
official political department or bu-
reau."
Commissioner Watson explained
that the work of the proposed or
ganization would be similar to that
done by the German government for
German farmers.
The resolutions came after confer
ences between Southern commission
ers and David Lubin, United States
