pitable. They seem to have only kind
words for the Delaware soldiers. who
are rated as a higher type of men
than those OF the other states who are
quartered at Deming. The camp is
well laid out about a mile west of
town, and the finest running water is
served to them from the Deming
Water Works, while the tents are
lighted by electricity. Every tent has
a board floor and a sheet iron stove
in it, and at night the stove is indeed
a comfort, as the high altitude (near-
ly a mile higher than Delaware)
makes very cold nights while the mid
day sun is very warm.
The boys are fat as pigs and get
ting plenty of work to harden them
It required several days to get the
election materials to the men, as one
battalion was eight miles out in the
plains at target shooting, and the only
communication was by automobile
over the worst roads in the world.
but we finally accomplished the de-
livery OF the first instructions in a
dust storm. On the day of election
a sand storm prevailed for several
hours, which made life miserable for
man or beast; even he burros turn
ing their tails to the sand storm and
dropping their ears forward. The
ballots were cast and the returns de-
livered to the messengers from Del
aware by seven o'clock, and we were
then ready to start on the homeward
journey, which was via New Mexico.
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Iowa, Illi-
nois to Chicago, and th5uce by the
Fort Wayne route to Philadelphia and
thence home to Delaware.
Election night brought but little in
as to the results of the elec.
ton to the people of Deming, and we
left at six o'clock on Wednesday
uncertain as to who was
elected, and were unable to get in
formation until we reached Kansas
City.
The Trip Home.
Milford chronicle., 1916-11-17

The trip through New Mexico was
a repetition of our ride through its
eastern and southern side. Treeless,
and covered with cactus for many
hundred miles, only cattle and sheep
ranches we're to be seen. As we
climbed upward to the altitude of
1000 feet above the sea, the country
became more and more dry, and It
was a mystery how even the sheep
lived. let alone thriyed on the scant
vegetation. 1t is only where wind
mills pump water from the depths
under the sandy cactus strewn plains,
that any sign Of vegetation is seen.
Yet at Terrence, the shipment of wool
runs well up info the millions of
pounds each season.
The ride across Kansas was far
more to the liking of Delaware man.
and especially in the wheat belt did
things begin to look good. for there
the rains had been heavy. and the
wheat was well sprouted and showing
green. Here the entire country ap-
pears to be sown to wheat, and the
acreage is far greater than ever be-
fore in Kansas. The broad stretch
of plains in Iowa would delight
Delawarean, for the buildings are
large, well constructed, and the herds
of cattle sleek and beautiful to look
upon.
OF course the central west is a great
grain and stock growing country, and
has been described from time to time.
so we will not enlarge upon this point
or part of our trip back to Delaware
Only one delay in Iowa caused us
to miss our connections, and that
was because of the wreck of a pas
train on the Rock Island road,
but even then we reached Delaware
only one hour behind our schedule,
and delivered the soldier ballots to the
proper authorities. We have secured !

VISIT TO DELAWARE SOLDIERS


It may be of interest to those read
ers of the Milford Chronicle who have
relatives or friends with the Della
ware troops now in New Mexico. on
the southern border of the United
States, to learn something of their
situation, and the country, in general,
as observed by a trip made by the
Commissioners appointed by the Gov
ernor of Delaware, to take the ballots
and election equipment. for the sol
diers of Delaware to vote on the 18th
of November last, and thus have their
franchise maintained and their part in
our civil government given to them.
the same as if they were at home.
Commissioners Named.
Governor Miller named as the com
missioners to perform this duty for
the soldiers, Colonel TheO. Townsend,
of Milford, Del, and Theodore Fer
guson, of Blackbird. New Castle Coun-
ty, Delaware. The latter is a son Of
the Lieutenant-Go of Delaware.
They were called to Dover on Octo-
ber 26th. where they were commits
stoned and given instructions, and the
following day met the judges at Will
mington to receive the legal instruc-
tions as to how to carry out the cleo
tion laws which provide for a soldier
voting in the field 1t was necessary
to safeguard the ballots and deliver
them promptly and safely to the
troops before the election day, so it
was necessary that they depart i'm
mediately thereafter The packing of
approximately $50 pounds of election
blanks and the tickets for each and
every voting district in Delaware, re-
quired some ingenuity. as the Pull
man cars do not permit trunks or
boxes being taken into them; hence
three U. S. mail sacks. two large |
dress suit cases and the personal bag
gage, was the impedimenta with which |
the commissioners were compelled to |
travel, and it was some job to look /
after porters and transfers of bag !
gage. This was especially true at |
points like New Orleans. Ell Paso, etc. /
But everything went right and we de-
iivered the goods to the boys in ample
time.

Around the Futurity the Coney. Isl
and Jockey Club built much OF its
prestige When this organization aban-
doned Sheepshead Bay some years ago
the Futurity was kept alive. The race
was run at Saratoga in 1910 and 1918.
Then August Belmont, for the West
chester Racing Association, secured
permission 20 take over not only the
Futuritv but the other rich Coney ISL
and Jockey Club classics. including the
Suburban and the Lawrence Reallza-
To-day's Futurity should prove one
Of the most stirring turf events OF the
season. In all probability a field OF no
fewer than eleven Of the country's best
two-year-olds will face the starter. In
terest in racing about New York never
was more keen than at present.
The healthy condition Of the sport
was reflected last month in Saratogs's
most successful season. Not only will
the racing fraternity of the Western
Hemisphere be on hand for to-day's
blue ribbon. but perhaps the biggest
crowd Of the season viii witness the
struggle OF the youngsters through the
six-furiong straight course. The man
agement az Belmont Park has an
nounced a free field for this afternoon.
All who love racing for racing's sake
may see the titanic struggle free Of
charge.
R. Wilson's Campfire is the pop
ular choice. Indications yesterday
were that he would go TO the post a
70 favorite. But he will have no
sinecure. II. P. Whitney has three
formidable candidates in lumber,
Vivid and Rickety. The Cochran
Stable will be represented by Madeira

never won a Futurity, is basing his
hope on Dcertrap. which will be ridden
