Rura! Credits And Marketing

Director Hayward, of the Delaware
College Experiment Station, address,

during the chapel period on November
Is, on the subject Of Rural Credits
and Marketing as National Issues"
After schowing the Importance of the
subject as indicated by bills in Con-
gress and by commissions appointed
to study the matter the speaker said
The rural credit idea had its origin
in Europe, where it is known as the
Landschafts- -Raiffejsen and the other
credit systems. Briefly these systems
are quite similar in some ways to the
Building and Loan Associations which
are common here and which have
done so much to encourage thrift
among the young men or women Just
starting life. The fundamental prin-
ciples involved is cooperation.
In the land credit scheme of Europe
an association of number of interest
ed men is formed and all the assets of
the individuals are pooled That is TO
say, the total assets of the association
are given as security for individual
loans. The association has no capital
but when member wants to borrow
some morey to buy horse or fertili-
zer. if the loan is approved hv the di-
rector. he is given bond. The bond

Changes At Delaware

Several changes are to soon take
place at Delaware College which Were
made possible by the purchasing OF
additional property by the college au-
thorities, last summer. The first will
be the removal Of the library from the
present location, in what is known as
the old Evans building. to the building
now occupied by the Newark Post.
This will give the library additional
floor space and will be better for the
purpose In every way. 1t is also plan
ned to use the present library building
as headquarters for the social activi-
ties of the student body until the pro-
posed changes have been made to the
interior of the old dormitory building,
to turn it into a students commons.
Considerable changes will have to be
made to the interior of both the pres
ent library and the Newark Post build
ing. At the meeting of the college
trustees. next Tuesday, plans for the
college extensions will be discussed
and reports submitted on the matter.
1t is likely the board will then take
definite action relative to the proposed
new Science Hall as the plans are re
ported to have been practically com

A TIMELY CHARGE

Judge Philemon B. Hopper in his
charge to the Grand Jury of the
Queen Anne County Circuit Court,
spoke at length of the dangerous con-
dltions on the public highways caused
by the reckless speeding of automo-
biles, and the necessity for some
means to protect the public in its
rights to use them. We are glad in
deed that the Courts are beginning to
see and realize that something must
be done to regulate and punish the
speed hendS, who are making it dan
gerous not only for horsedrawn vehi-
cles, but careful automobile owners to
travel upon our streets and highways
Each morning the daily papers
contain accounts of automobile acci-
dents, many Of them fatal, in various
parts of the State.
The cause of nearly all these acci-
dents can be traced to fast running,
careless or inexperienced drivers.
We print extracts from Judge Hop
per's Charge
| want you to consider and to re-
commend some way to safeguard the
use of the highways. No one is safe
upon them. Everyone who goes upon
them takes his life in his hands, and
some way must be found to protect
the public in its rights to use them.
These speed tiends and road hogs con-
slider the rights and safety of no one.
A Jew nights ago, when the street
lights were temporarily shut off, |
walked to the postot1ice for my mail.
On my way | was overtaEen and pass
ed by three automobiles running to-
ward the center of the town at rate
of speed that | believe was not less
than 20 miles an hour. The street was
full of young people and small child.
rem celebrating Halloween in the Gus
tomary way The
cars occupied practically the whole
street bed and rushel toward the
crowds without decreasing their speed
apparently. On NV wav ~
court at Chestertown last Monday
week | passed two buggies wrecked
by automobiles. On my ride
home the following Saturday | passed
another buggy that had been wrecked
by such collision. If prudent drivers
of autocars and other travellers are
not to be driven from the highways
by the lawless it is the duty of every
w-abiding and careful man who uses
the highways to renort every violation
of those rules that he sees.
And, gentlemen of the jury. if you in
your present office can find and recon-
mend a practical and sure means of
bringing these foolhardv malefactorS
to punishment you will render the
public an ineStimable service Elk.

A GOOD SIGN

The Talbot County Grand Jury, at

dictments under the Corrupt Practices
Act, charging violations of the law in
the recent election. Without any

that they have been brought is hope

OF INTEREST TO WOMEN
A Dainty TeacIoth.

Take four mems handkerchief
with wide hens and feather stitch
all the hens and embroider small
spray in one corner of each. Then
Join the handkerchiefs together with
lace insertion to form square with
the embroidered corners making the
four corners of this larger square.
Sew ruf11e of lace of about three or
four inches depth around the entire
edge. Torchon lace (not the heavier)
works up very nice in this and wears
better than a fine lace.
A small cover can be made for
stand or small table by using
women's handkerchiefs and fine lace.
If the handkerchiefs are fine, with
narrow hens and a little embroidery
in the corner, no work need be done
on them other than to sew the lace.

Soap, water, sunlight and fresh air
are far more favorable in preventing
the spread of infectious diseases than
is disinfection by fumigation. This
was the opinion expressed recently at

Health Association at Rochester, N.

who took part in the discussion of the
control of infectious diseases. 1t was
declared that thorough cleaning with
soap and water, fresh air and sun

repainting and repapering wherever
needed, were most efficient methods
Of disinfection than is fumigation.
AS a matter of fact disinfection by
fumigation has been discontinued by

that absolutely no increase in the
