SPORTING GOODS
Are Much Higher Than Eight
cen Months Ago and Deal
ers Predict Further Rise.

The great European war has had
other effects on sport aside from pre-
venting the continuation Of internn-
tional contests. Prices OF various
sports paraphernalia are beginning TO
increase, due to q shortage OF ma
terials from which they are manufac-
.tnred. Ivory for billiard balls and
the green cloth used in covering BILL
lard tables cost more today than ever
before in the history Of the game. The
demand for crude rubber, due to the
increased number Of automobile tires
in use and foreign war supplies has
also sent up the price Of that cofnmo-
dity As a result ivory billiard and
rubber bowling balls cost consider
ably more than they did eighteen
months ago and dealers state that they
look for higher prices in the near sflis
ture.

Potash has been carried on the free list by both

farmers OF the country and we had not nves

try has been choked on Absolutely dependence on any
country for basic commodity should be prevented

by encouraging and fostering industries in the United

With our high wage scale, the only method found
practical has been protective tariff for which the
Democratic party will not stand. Germany is watch

eye It is understood that she has piled up huge
surplus OF potash which she will try to dispose of TO

No printed or spoken argument that
has been used by the conspirators who

conclusion irresistibly is forced upon

THE BIGGEST EVER.

WILMINGTON and rural New Castle county Repub-

messed by no fewer than 10000 persons
Viewed from any side the Republican demonstration
simply dwarfed the Democratic parade held here earlier

upon the thoroughness with which they did their work
We also fecate the members OF the various organza
tons and Republicans in general. who took part
the demonstration. upon the handsome way in which
they responded the call TO the Republican coors
We believe there would have been fully 1000 more
men in line. and several thousand more persons in
the street to the parade had it not been for the
threatening weather.
The Young Mems Republican Club the Hughes Col
lege League the Bankers and Brokers Club, the vari
GUS ward organizations and the clubs from the outlying
hundreds made splendid showings.
II was fitting climax to what has been one OF the
most exciting interesting and important campaigns
ever held In Delaware.
