The hog cholera in Stark county
seems to be spreading, the herds of
Nick Schmidt and Pat Grogan being
affected, it is understood. There
have been no more losses in the Andy
Shipley herd, but it is reported that
MI. Grogan has lost about a dozen
head. It is suggested that the farm
ers of the county should not allow
their hogs to roam around if they
want to keep down the cholera
plague.
A. billiard submitted to an oper-

week and at last reports was getting
along very nicely, although it was not
: expected that he could go on to
Daytona, Florida, for two or three
weeks yet. Mrs. billiard is with
her husband and it is understood that
her brother, DR.. Courtney, consulting

The Wander threshing machine
was set at the Phillip Jahner farm on

it was expected that the 100 acres
would be threshed out by Thursday
night. MI. Jahner has a large barn
and has just completed a fine resi-

Prof. Thomas Shaw was a pas
senger en- route to Washington and
California this week. He expected to
spend several weeks in California, and
in Washington he is scheduled for
several lectures on the subject Of
"Dual Purpose Short Horns" It will
be remembered that Prof. Shaw i'm
ported Short Horn cattle from Eng
land in 1913 and 1914 for James J.
Hill. The most of the stock was
placed on North Dakota farms and
the results have been very gratifying.
Prof. Shaw states that the Short
Horns from England are bred for
both beef and milk and in this re-
spect. differ materially from the
Short Horns Of this country. He
thinks they are the ideal breed for
these western states.

1915 SIGNS OF A 1916 LANDSLIDE.

~ HlCAGo, ST. Louis and sundry other American
~ cities in which elections have been held recently
have thrown jolt after jolt into the Wilson adminstra
ton Before those elections held, friends of
President Wilson asked the Democratic leaders in the
several cities what the would be- The nvara-
bic response was that everything looked we'll for the
Democrats. And yet when the votes counted, it
discovered in most Instances that there had been
Republican andslides, particularly in Chicago and ST.
Louis
There is denying that those election returns have
caused much disquetude in the White House and in the
several departments in Washington. They show
drift TO the Republican party that indicates that the
nominee of that party N 1916 will sweep the country
Overwhelmingly.
President Wilson realizes that he has been deceived
by the local leaders; is it at all likely that he
takes much stock in the whisperngs OF his woud-be
comforters that the results in Chicago st. Louis and
elsewhere due solely TO local conditions and
to dissatisfaction with the Democratic national
administration He must realize that plurality OF
100000 for a Republican mayoraty candidate in Chicago
and the election of entire Republican ticket in St.
Louis stand for something serious than local
conditions The President has the reputation Of be-
ing a shrewd politician If he is he cannot fail to
read the electoral signs aright neglect to apply
them TO the election in the Fall Of 1916 and realize
that Republican landslide is on its way.

THE Farmers Bank of Delaware is one Of the
Oldest, soundest and most popular financial in
stitutions in commonwealth It is growing in
popularity and public confidence all the lime. That
is particularly true Of the Wilmington branch, that
threw its new and handsome home at Third and Mar
ket streets open for public inspection today That
building is monumental in its nature and an
ment TO the city and the thoroughfare in which it
has been erected We congratulate its officers and

OF its business It possible to retain was
Transferred to the branch in this city.
majority of the stock of the parent bank and its
branches is owned by the State of Delaware The
stock holdings of the commonwealth in the institu-
tion are regarded as being among the most valued
OF It's possessions. In recent years il has been the
practice for the Governor Of the State to serve as
president Of the board of directors. That Office now
held by Governor Miller. IL has been since he has
held it that the building in this city has been put
under contract and carried to completion
Governor Miller and his associates on the board,
and Ezekiel Cooper, the competent and popular cash

deserving OF much credit for what they did 10 de-
voop the bank to point where Il had outgrown
its old quarters and made imperative demand for
new and larger ones
AS the situation now stands the Farmers Bank at
Wilmington is of the most handsomely housed
financial institutions the Delaware Peninsula. It
has home in keeping with the dignity of long
and honorable career in the financial field and also
of such magnitude that it will be adequate

We may add that in doing something for itself tho
bank also has done something for Wilmington by add
ing TO its architecture building that commands
the attention and the admiration of all who
see it.

A PRAomoAL coNsoLmArI0N srrp.

THE State Board of Education has requested County
School superintendents Cross, Carroll and Har-
desty to make investigation the rural schools in
this State and report plan for school district consoli-
dation for each Of the three counties. Those three
officials viii group those rural districts that are sus-
ceptibe Of consolidation those that arc not sus-
ceptble Of and lay their findings before the State
Board
That is practical step in the right direction It
should result in the consolidation matter being put
fairly and squarey to those who responsible for
the present deporabe conditions in many of the rural
districts
State Commissioner of Education Wagner, who has
not hestated to point the defects of our educa-
tonal system and 10 suggest remedies therefor, is
firmly Of the opinion that many of the troubles of
today the rural districts would be cured by an intel
gent and comprehensive system OF district consolida-
on II is with that end in view that the county super
intendents will make their investigation and frame
their reports TO the State Board of Education.
Under consolidation many small and inefficient
schools will be done away with and fewer but larger
and much efficient. schools will replace them in
the rural districts The consolidation plan has worked
educational wonders in many other States There is
reason why it should not do the same thing here
in Delaware.

Excuse us, for we're helpless,
Our land will fall, you know:
We're thinking of old Dixieland
As the moments come and go.
We stood beside the old well sweep,
We drank its water clear:
We held il brimming to our lips
To us it was most dear.
We wandered all around the place,
We turned the old grindstone;
VIC stood beneath the old pear tree,
So glad we were alone
For we could think, and think, and
think
OF days that now are gone;
They're floating through our memory
now
Like the refrain of sweet song.

And she loved / for her mothers

And her tears did freely flow.
SO many years have stretched theil

But Aunt Chloe will abide
Beneath the black smoked rafters;
She is waiting for the tide
To bear her over deaths cold stream
To a mansion built on high.
Then she will leave her cabin homo
To live beyond the sky.
We bade our dusky friends goodbye
We may not meet again
Until we meet up yonder,
Beyond the reach of pain.
She did not want to say goodbye:
Just before we drove from view
We saw her old bandana wave
In her last heartfelt adieu.

A PLOT THAT FAILED.
Want Ad story.

In the waiting room of large rail-
road station, a pretty blue-eyed baby
trotted happily around, making
friends with every one who would no
tice her Through the dark station
she fitted, stopping here and there
TO smile and chatter in her baby
fashion. Like sunbeam she bright
ened, for an instant. every spot where
she tarried. Everyone supposed that
she belonged to someone who was
keeping careful watch on her
movements.
One by one the passengers departed
Still the baby trotted contentedly
around until the station was nearly
empty. The gloom and the emptiness
frightened her and she whimpered
softly. Then, awed by the silence,
she crept into the corner of a long
wooden settee and sobbed herself to
sleep.
Here the station agent found her.
Poor. little kid he said Someone
has forgotten you!" He picked her
up, uncertain what to do with her
when he saw woman whom nc knew
enter the station with her husband
He showed them the sleeping child
and told them where he had found
her. Won by its beauty, the woman
and her husband took the child home
| with them for the night. Efforts we're
made TO find some one TO whom the
child belonged, but they. were in
vain.
Mr.. and Mrs. Barton finally gave up
the search and resolved to adopt the
little one whom they had grown to
love devotedly.
One evening. when Mrs Barton had
finished reading the news of the day
in the evening paper she turned to
the Want Ad Columns and began TO
read them. Suddenly she stopped with
an exclamation OF surprise and read a

me several weeks ago. She is two
years old and has blue eyes and yell
low hair. On her finger is gold ring
marked Maud on the inside. If any
one who sees this knows of such a
child, please communicate with heT

Mr.. and Mrs Barton looked at each
other i'm CONSERVATION and both weni
to the child's crib to remove the
small. gold ring from the baby's fin
ger which they had not disturbed
until now. There on the inside OI

for others who must patiently await their turn in

SAGE and SULPHUR
DARKENS CRAY HAIR
It's GrandmOther's Recipe to Restore
Color. Gloss and Thickness.

Hair that loses its color and lustre.
or when it fades, turns gray, dull and
lifeless is caused by lack of sulphur
in the hair. Our grandmother made up
a mixture of Sage Tea and Sulphur to
keep her locks dark and beautiful, and
thousands of women and men who
value that even color. that beautiful
dark shade of hair which is so attract
i've. use only this old-time recipe.
Nowadays We get this famous mix
ture by asking at any drug store for
a so cent bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" which darkens
the hair so naturally, so ev9nly, that
nobody can possibly tell it has been
applied Besides, it takes off dandruft,
stops scalp itching and falling hair.
You just dampen a sponge or SOFT
brush with it and draw this through
your hair. taking one small strand at
time. BY morning the gray hair dis
appears: but what delights the ladies
with Wyeths Sage and Sulphur is that,
besides beautifully darkening the hair
after few applications, it also brings
back the gloss and lustre and gives
/ il an appearance of abundance.

as to the exact age OF the voter and It serves the

view the fact that New Jersey will vote on the
