SUSSEX SHOULD FOLLOW SUITE.

The Levy Court of Kent county has
performed an act of simple justice in de-
Gliding to pay the managers of the Della
ware Industrial School for Girls for the
keep of Kent county girls who are COM
mitted to that institution. The Sussex
county Levy Court should follow its
example.
Under the system in vogue heretofore
it has been necessary for the managers to
accept any girl committed to the school,
regardless of the county in which she
lived. New Castle county has paid for
the keep of its wayward girls. Kent and
Sussex counties never have done so.
The unfairness of that system has been
recognized for years, but never until now
has either of the lower counties been will
ing to do its proper part toward correct
ing it. Under the nsw order of things
Kent county will enjoy the benefits of
the school on respectable financial basis.
It is now up to Sussex county to redeem
tself in the eyes OF the State in this i'm
1ortant matter. Evening Journal.
Sussex county has several girls at this
and its cowardly shame !

PRIZES AWARDED FOR GARDENING

Fifteen vegetable gardens carried
on by school children in Newark dur
ing the past summer under the direc-
tion of Miss Agnes Medill yielded a
profit to those working them. This
work, which was organized by a spe-
cialist of the Bureau of Education. is
the beginning of a movement toward
the establishment of school gardening
work in many schools of Delaware as
part of the whole scheme of educa-
tional development, under the direc-
tion of Commissioner Claxton of Wash
ington. The fifteen school children
had plots on their home ground, rang
ing in size from eighty-four square
feet to 2100 square feet. A strict ac-
count of all the expenses was kept.
as well as an account of the income
from the sale of the various vege-
tables. Prof. C. A. McCue, of Della
ware College, who acted as Judge, ex-
amined each garden carefully, and
awarded eleven dollars in prizes, bas-
ing his judgment on the appearance
of the gardens, the profits secured
from them per unit of size, and the diff
hculties overcome. The first prize of
81. so was awarded to John Clancev:
the second of 50 90 to Howard Reed |

HOUSTON.

In almost every section of our state
one may note the large percentage of
farmers who have come from other
states. Many of them have never
farmed before coming here; yet they
manage to make good, and in many in
! stances pay large prices for the land
Our Delaware young men still go to
| the city and leave the land for these
outsiders and, of course, the land
dealer. The latter is glad to have
them go since by their going he has
more big farms to cut into small plots
and sell at a gain of from one hundred
to five hundred per cent. Boys, don't
go. You who know your state and
know where you can purchase land
reasonably without the aid of an ex-
pensive real estate man. have every
thing your own way if you could only
see it in the right light. Too often
the difference with you and the fellow
from the other state is, that he has
tired of the city, the mine or the lum-
Der camp, and finds he must work or
starve, and applies himself to his new
business of farming in the same en-
ergetic way; but you, well there was |
always plenty to eat on your fathers |
farm and little or no anxiety about |
the wherewithall for plenty of good |
and you go at farming in a
way and get disgusted be
cause you did not get rich in a year
or two. How we forget to count the
blessings of plenty of good things to
eat and no lack of good water and
pure air. Take the advice of the fell
low who has tried both, boys, and do
not go to the city when you may live
on a Delaware farm.

THE average ad valorem rate of duty

week ending October 2, 1915, was 1O-6
per cent. the sum of only 50, 428, ,9S5 be-

279, 500. Realizing the comment that
was being created throughout the coun-
try from those who study the daily Treas
ury statement, and note its dwindling
net balance. Secretary McAdoo, by one
of the most daring maneuvers in the
record of Treasury bookkeeping. switched
the credits to disbursing officers and the
national banknote retirement fund in
with the melting net balance of but
$40 900, 900, thus making it appear, OIL
paper, that the Treasury fund was most
assuring. These are the results growing
out of the Democratic free-trade tariff:
increased competition, loss of revenues
and Treasury deficit, and cost of living
no lower.

THE Republicans of Massachusetts
have led off in demonstrating how the
party is to be restored to power. The
platform recently adopted in the Bay
State is convincing proof of the essential
unity of political thought among the two
bodies who divided the vote in opposi-
ton to Wilson in 1912, and the strongest
and wisest leaders of Massachusetts
Progressivism have publicly declar-
ed their cordial adherence to
the Republican party once more.
The spirit of conciliation which pro-
duced this result was widespread
among both Republicans and Progress
sives. Mr. Mccall, the candidate for
governor, and Senators Lodge and
Weeks, were cordial in their approval
of the progressive planks submitted
by Mr. Bird and Mr.. Walker; and the
state convention, without dissention,
adopted the result. In good faith the
reunited Republicans of Massachus-
etts will now proceed to elect a Re-
publican governor and to carry into
effect the pledges upon which that
election will be secured. So it will
prove to be, we predict, in the nation.
The absence of highly controverted |
personal issues will enable the anti
Democratic majority in the country |
to unite upon principles. Their can
didate will be a man whose character
will coincide with the platform de-
The country is to be re-
deemed next year; and Massachusetts,

Prof. William Ware, of Philadelphia
who is frequent visitor at Milton, came
down the first of September; the weather
being excruciatingly hot, he concluded
to take two weeks trip amongst the the
Catskills. He left Milton on September
14th, leaving fifty dollar bicycle in care
of w. H. Fox. The bicycle was stolen,
purloinea, or taken from the store OF
Mrs. Fox, mother of Mr.. Fox, a few
| evenings afterward. After a still hunt
and some advertising the wheel was
found and recognized by Prof Ware, in
the possession of Roy Pettyjohn, a young
Milford man, who allowed to have bought
it on the installment plan, of ]. F.
Houseman, dealer in general merchan-
disc at Milford. The wheel had been
| somewhat a tered but Prof Ware recog-
nized it, it being of the Dayton pattern.
