SUSSEX NO PLACE
FOR david HARUNI

ELLENDALE, Del, Sept 4.-The
zest Of horse trading is gone from
Delaware. No more can each trader
endeavor to overreach the other and
take chances on finding in the end
that he is the one who has been stung.
David Harum would not want to live
in Sussex county. The courts have
decided that hereafter if the worsted
one will swear that he was deceived
the horses win be 'swapped' back.
Willis Brown and John Pullen, near
.Enendale. traded horses last week.
After the trade was over Pullen S
horse lay down and died. Then Pullen
made affidavit that he had been de-
ceived. Brown was compelled to re-
turn the other horse and suffer the loss
himself. while the Justice laid down
the rule that II deceit. even by action
IS shown. the trade is on. "Hoss trad
ers" are indignant. they claim theil
fun is an gone and that trading Is
going 70 be a regular Sunday schoo

temporarily to abandon But that is

proceeding rapidly with our reorgan

been the study of your charity organ

/ is, an entirely new country, we want
to establish its charity system. which
of course has become a recognized
duty of every state, on the most ad-
vanced lines that have been develop
ed. These we are certain We would
find in America. Your blind, your
deaf. your poor. your crippled. your
mentally deficient, we want to know
how you care for them. True, the
number of our unfortunate Is moi
great but 1t is the duty of the stat,
towards them we want TO perform il
the fullest manner that modern meth

reason of my visit was to have beel
the study Of your problem of immi
