PRESIDENTIAL POINTERS

Only one candidate for pres
ident died between the election
and meeting Of the electoral col
lege. Horace Greeley, the Dem
ocratic and Liberal candidate,
died before the meeting Of the
electoral college. The Democrat
ic electoral vote was divided
among four candidates. B. Gratz
Brown, the Democratic and Lib
eral candidate for vice president,
received AZ votes, 19 less than
the number Of Democratic cleo
tors.
James s. Sherman, candidate
for vice president on the Repub-
lican ticket-1912, died on Octo-
Der 80, a few days before the
election. No provision was made
by the Republican national COM
mittee for nominating a success
sor, and at the meeting Of the
state electoral colleges the Re
publican electors chosen in Yer
mont and Utah-eight IN ALL
voted for Nicholas Murray But
Ter, OF New York.

Total,

lOLdl, pJlsGlJsll
This total exceeds the amount re-
ceived from taxes in 1915 up to Octo-
Der 1st by $11,500.00
Under the old system of collecting
taxes in Sussex County when ten or
more collectors were given the job,
not over $25,000 of the taxes levied in
any one year we're collected and paid
into the County Treasury. 1t was
nothing to be surprised over, that the
County Orders on the Treasury were
worthless in those days. Now the
issue of orders is controlled by the
Comptroller, and the Receiver of Tax
when it is due, the County Orders are
as good as a check.
This is another Republican meas
ure of business reform. 1t was enact
ed by a Republican Legislature, ap-
proved by a Republican Governor and
lives up to the promise of the Repub-
lican Party to give better government
and save the peoples money by doing
so. 1t was fortunate for Sussex Coun-
ty that Governor Miller appointed
Volley NJ. Murray as the first Re-
ceiver of Taxes, for he has organized
the work on a business basis, and ac-
cOrding to the laws. This is on a
line with what the Republicans will
do with the new County Commission
laws at the beginning of 1917, after
The Republicans have been elected and
installed in office. Good roads
through an engineer, better bridges all
over the county, and an honest dollar
'or an honest dollars worth of SER
vice rendered, will be the conditions
or the future under Republican rule |
If county and State affairs.

ARTESIAN WELLS FEEL
FLOW OF TIDE
Noticeable Variation Found by
u. S. biologists.

In their investigation Of the under
ground water resources Of the coastal
plain Of Virginia the biologists Of the
United States Geological Survey have
collected data relating to the many
hundreds of artesian wells that yield
excellent waters in large areas Of the
coastal region. Particular note has
been made Of the quantity and quality
Of the supply afforded by wells that
give flows at the surface.
The variation in flow exhibited by
these wells with the rise and fall OF
the tide is Of peculiar interest, the flow
being notably greater at the flood than
at the ebb t/a. II is the general opin-
ion among well drillers that practically
ell flowing wells near tidal rivers OF
inlets from open bays do feel the ais
tsnt sea. but some of them so signify
tbat tho variation in flow is not notice
The geologist in charge Of the
oround water Investigations in Virginia
states that changes IN water leVe! IN
wells due 10 fluctuations IN the helght
of tho surface Of some nelghDorlng
body OF water, have been observed all
over the world. 1t is customary to eX-
.rlain these changes by supposlng a d.
rect connection between the river, lake
or bav: but in many places, as IN East
ern Virginia, such connection IS cieaI
" impossible, owing 70 the depth OF
the wells and the nature OF the inter
vening beds, some. OIL them oehse'
tougb marls and clays. These beds,
kowever. though they do not transmit
water. nevertheless contain It, and as
water is practically incompressible any
variation of level on the river or bay
is transmitted to the well through the
water filed gravels, sands, clays ana
marls.

use telling your child to eat his red

leaves to see what he could find under
them, and his heart was happy, for
his stomach was full, and you know a
full stomach, unless it be too full, al
most always makes happy heart.
Now, as he pulled over the red and
yellow and brown leaves, his sharp
eyes spied little brown seed. 1t was
a homely little seed which had fallen
from a rough pine cone, and you and
l would very likely not have seen it
at all, or If we had we would have
thought 1t Of no account. But Happy
Jacks eyes sparkled when he saw that
homely little brown seed, for he knew
that 1t was very good to eat.
Not that he was hungry. Oh, my,
no! There wasn't room in his stomach
for the least teeny, weeny bit more
just then. But Happy Jack knew that
there might come time when his
stomach would not be so full, and then
that little brown seed would taste oh,
so good
Now, he had hidden a great many
little brown seeds and fat nuts near
the Lone Little Path, so when he
picked up this particular little brown
seed quickly he scampered over the dry
leaves until presently he came to the
edge of the Green Forest. He looked
this way and he looked that way to
see If anyone was watching him, and
when he was sure that no one was, he
ran out a little way from the edge of
the Green Forest, dug q tiny hole in
the soft, warm earth with his paws,
dropped into it the little brown seed
and covered 1t carefully.
There" said he to himself, as he
scampered back to the Green Forest
to see what more he could find, "every-
one knows l live in the Green Forest
and no one will think to look out here
for things have hidden"
Old Mother Nature, who knew lust
what Happy Jack had done, smiled, for
she also knew that 1t was more than
likely that Happy Jack would forget
all about that little brown seed, and If
he did she had a plan to use it her
