PRIZES AWARDED
FOR BEST CORN

Levi II. Cooch, New Castle county
. farm agent, in an address at the an
3nual corn show OF Diamond State
eGrange in Stanton Hall last night, an
snounced that the Consumers League
Fhad endorsed the plan of David Smell
~1enbure. the Wilmington merchant,
X for covered market for Wilmington,
and would push the project.
He said. I'VE may expect to have,
before long. part of King street
market, a few blocks at least, rooted
In.
.sThe Chamber Of Commerce does
not seem alive 70 the interests of VIII
mincton as well as 10 those interests
of the rural district Some OF the
CITY Councilmen and other officials do
not fully realize that a city has sprung
rup at Carney's Point and that at Mar
cus Hook there Is a city one-quarter
the size OF Wilmington which has
grown up since the war. Marcus Hook
has no market and the markets at
IS Chester are inadequate, so that the
neople have either TO come TO Viii
mincton or 20 to Philadelphia TO mar
lfet and when they do their market
afnc they do their general buying. II
would be policy for the people Of
Wilmington to get back OF this move
ment 81 for no other reason that "
would bring increased business TO the
fclty. Mr.. Snellenburg's plan would
tmean not only a sanitary market but
a better one. There would be more
~purchasers and a larger market
"The Chamber of Commerce is real
ly asleep so far as this project is con-
cerned. I believe that a progressive
body of business men will get to-
gether and force a covered market or
