of Meridian, junior department super
intendent, presiding. while about 80
delegates took part and the junior de
partment, graded lessons, annual pro-
motions, and departmental tea hers
meetings were discussed. Miss Jud IN
reminded all that the Junior depart
ment is the harvest time of the Ele-
mentary department and every junior
is a possible disciple of Christ. This
elementary work is the greatest in
the Sunday School because ''the great
est thing God made is q human life
and the greatest work in tie world

life. Miss Juden requested that all left

for invitations for the next place OF
convention, Mr.. J. c. Cavett spoke for
Jackson, and Vicksburg also had rep
resentatiyes TO invite the convention
there but Jackson won out.
Rev. W. II. Saunders spoke on "Tith-
ing" saying that the peril that hangs
over nations and communities, as well
as in individual life. is sblfishness and
suggesting tithng as a provision to
counteract it. He deplored the common
failing of humanity to realize that
what is here does not belong to man
but is merely put in his keeping by
God. and he told how the Sunday

Until Tuesday, January 25, the
business of this Office will be con-
Quoted at our present location.
After that date, we expect to be
moved to the new building on
Welsh Lane.
Those having a rush job on hand
and not finding it convenient to
bring the work to the plant will
call SO. Our location will in no
way interfere with the service. A
messenger will be sent for your
order. With our increased facili-
ties the work will probably be de-
Iivered in shorter time than here

Do not hesitate to give any
order you may have. We shall not
dismantle the entire plant until a
part of the machinery is erected
ready to care for any rush work.

and possibly sprayed once OF
twice, and had gone to the trou-
BILE of plowing the old orchard,
the man with the "corn mlno
would probably stop and work ms
corn and neglect the orchard
Under average farm conditions,
the speaker seemed to think II
would hardly pay the general
farmer to attempt to reJuvenate
an old orchard. Prof. McCue
spoke also on Tomato Growing,
and at Blackbird he gave an al.
dress on Strawberries. The SOIL
of that section of the country is
we'll adapted to strawberry cul-
ture, and believe there is great
future for this industry around
Blackbird, if the farmers there
will grow Strawberries in sutfi-
cient quantities to ship in carload
lots. Many of those at the meet
ing announced their intention to
make a start in Strawberries this
year.
Mr.. A. M. Pollard who has been
instrumental in devel opin g a
worlds champion hen, gave very
comprehensive talks on Poultry
Feeds, and the Trap-nesting of
Breeding Stock.
Mr.. Thomas M. Knight, editor
of the Practical Farmer, of Phila-
delphia, gave very clear discus
sion of Fertilizers and Economical
Fertilization. AS it is impossible
to secure potash, this was sub
ject which was listened to with
the keenest attention. The speak.
er claimed that one or even two
percent of potash at the present
price would not be profitable, ant
urged the use of a little more am
monia and phosphoric acid. Mr.
Knight also advised the choice Of
fertilizer by analysis rather thar
to buy by brand, name or simply
because it was cheaper thar
some other mixture.
Prof. C. A. Short, whose tall
on Rural Sanitation created con
siderable discussion, pointed ou
how the health of those living il
the country may be improved b,
; proper means of ventilation AM
more cale respecting the source
of the drinking water. He CAV
, instances where pig pens an
closets had been drawn up clos

) their proximity to the we'll.
Mr.. Hugh Fergus, who has bee

q tions in this county, gave som
very valuable talks on balance

pense is, in fact, about all many of
us know about conditions in our
districts. Rate Of Assessment,
while comparatively insignificant
in the farm expense, is topic of
serious discussion. With other
topics of school work, few farmers
are acquainted.
Our attention has been called
recently to the closed school
houses in many of the rural dis
tricts until a few minutes before
the hour of opening. One morn
ing last week, raining, at one
school twenty children stood
around waiting for the teacher to
arrive. Then to go in a room
closed since a o'clock the after
noon before. This is only one of
many instances all through the
rural districts. Parents are ig-
norant of this condition except
when the teacher makes some plea,
which is seldom recognized.
Here is something that can be
attended to with little expense. 1t
should not be expected of the
teacher to play the part of janitor
and fireman. Ordinary health pro
visions for the children and COM
mon courtesy to the teacher
prompt attention to these little de-
tails. Our School Commissioners
can render good service by provid.
ing remedy for this condition.

farmers better prices for what
they grow at the same time, al
fording them an opportunity to
buy at rock bottom prices.
Another speaker on educationa!
subjects was Miss Mary E. Rich,
professor of Education at the Wo-
mems College of Delaware, who
spoke on Present Day Truths in
Education. She spoke of many
important details in the school
equipment that should receive the
immediate attention of every par
ent within the school district. She
also urged the formation of Par
ent-Teacher Associations to bring
about these i m prov m e n ts in
desks, toilets, water coolers, etc.
Mr.. Phillips also gave splendid
addresses on Live Stock Stand
ardization, How to Bring it About,
and the Benefits to be Derived.
He pointed out the advantage to
farmers of community in get
ting together to raise the same
kind of stock. Such a practice
naturally draws the attention of
buyers from a distance who are
looking for carload lots Of some
particular breed.
Prof. Grantham gave very
practical talk on the Care and
Management of Farm Machinery.
He gave statistics showing the
amount of money spent annually
by the farmers of this country
for farm machinery, and also the
amount spent for repairs. The lat
ter amount is entirely too large,
and could be cut down very mate
rally by the practice of keeping
farm machinery under cover when
not in use.
Mr.. David Snellenburg of Will
mington presented his admirable
plans for roofing over a portion of
King street with wired glass roof
in order to protect both farmers
and buyers from storms and hot
sun. Mr.. Snellenburg delivered
his address at four meetings
where many questions relating tc
the details of the plan were asked
and answered. At all of these
four meetings, resolutions were
adopted endorsing these plans
for better market conditions.
Miss Myrtle V. Caudell, profes
sor of Home Economics, at th'
Women's College, and Miss Jeffer
son, extension worker in hom
: economics, spoke on Food Values
giving valuable suggestions as t.
: how to serve meals that repre-

POST MASTER-N0T ORGANlZA-
TLON APPOINTMENT.

Levi K. Bowen, one of the edi-
tors and owners of the Newark
Ledger, was recently appointed
postmaster in Newark. Hence, in
political circles, the following
pro-Handy editorial. which ap-
peared in the Ledger on last Sat-
urday, has given rise to much COM
ment:
After reviewing the list of pos
sible candidates for the seat occu-
pied by the present incumbent,
Senator Henry A. Dupont, the
Delaware Ledger announces that
in it's judgment the strongest can
didate to represent the Democrat
ic party in the coming senatorial
contest is Hon. L. Irving Handy,
of Smyrna. VIII IN we allow our
minds to revert to the Delaware
ans who followed Bayard and
Gray in the U. S. Senate, we feel
that tn etime has arrived for our
State to send to the Senate at
Washington a man of the mental
caliber of those two grand old
Romans. The day of oratory has
not passed. The Senate chamber
still rings with the eloquence of
men who have power to bend the
will of their fellows and arouse
them to action. For a long per-
iod Delaware has sent to the Sen
ate no orator to bring glory to her
name. Since the contest is sure
to be hard one, the Democratic
party is compelled to put forth its
ablest candidate. Mr.. Handy is
the man for the office.
Mr.. Handy, who is not a Demo,
cratic organization man, is for.
tunate, indeed, in obtaining al
this time such support from &
source which, in view of the post
office appointment, might natur
ally have been regarded as antag
onistic to his Senatorial aspira
tions. That he is a candidate fol
the Democratic nomination fo1
Senator is accepted. Under the
new order of things he should bt
able to show what strength h,
really has in the Democratic
party in this State.
The above comment by the edi
tor of the Evening Journal i'm
plies that Mr.. Bowen received hi
appointment as Post Master from
Senator Salisbury. This is in NJ
wise the case as is generally ad
mitted in Newark. Due to Sails
bury tactics, the situation of tn
Postmaster appointment becam
so acute that Mr.. Salisbury wa
compelled to leave the choice t.
the Democrats of this community
Mr.. Bowen is more than a Sauls
bury organization Democrat an,
his appointment was forced by
stronger power. He is the Post
master of the people of his part
in Newark. The old Democrat
organization is a thing of tn
past in White Clay. The appoint
ment of Mr.. Bowen was the frs
public announcement of the dis
gust with the old regime.

RESULT SERIOUS
CUTTING OF STORE CLERK

Montezuma, Nov. 10.-E. NJ. Lewis,
an employee in the grocery department
of the mercantile establishment of
John F. Lewis, of this city, was Sc
ricusly wounded this morning in a cut
ting affair with j. E. Robinson, fell
low employee.
Lewis was badly slashed across the
abdomen, his intestines producing
from the gaping wound inflicted by
the knife in the hands of Robinson.
He was given medical attention i'm
mediately, and it is thought that he
will recover, as the internal organs
were not punctured by the point OF
the knife
The alteration which resulted in
the cutting is said to have risen over
a trivial circumstance and when the
lie was passed, Robinson went to
work with his knife.
The injured man, it is said, has
refused to prosecute Robinson.

and expenses.
1t is admitted officially in Atlanta
