writes from Lincoln today: Il have
completed my tour of Sussex. and
can frankly express my admiration
for its progressive and hospitable
inhabitants.
Il held unusually large meetings
in Milford, Lincoln City, Brldgeville,
Seaford, Laurel and Delmar.
Lincoln was organized with Mrs.
r. II. Derrickson as chairman. and
Mrs. Belle Arnold, vice-chairman.
"A charge in chairmen was effected
in Delmar, where Mrs. T.. h. Freeney,
active In club circles, was elected
TO succeed Mrs. Horace James.
Sentiment throughout Sussex as a
whole has been Overwhelmingly in
favor of suffrage as the numbers of
signers and new members for the
Congressional Union can prove. In
lower Delaware collections have been
liberal. too.

Don't Let Soap
Spoil Your Hair

When you wash your hair, be care
ful what you use. Most soaps and
prepared shampoos contain too much
alkali, which is very Injurious, as
il dries the scalp and makes the
hair brittle.
The best thing to use is just plain
mulsihed cocoanut oil, for this Is
pure and entirely greaseless. It's
very cheap. and beats the most ex-
pensve soaps or anything else all to
pieces. You can get this at any
drug store. and few ounces will last
the whole family for months

SPIDER WEB Gives
Democrats HOPE

What significance is there in spider s
wehg A great deal. according to enthu-
siastic Democrats who read omens IN
them. The latest is big web al the
home of Henry A. Fritz, No. $40 Me-
Cabe avenue, in which the big orange
and black spider that spun il traced the
name. "W. Wilson" This Is vouched
for by a number Of persons who have
s,en the web.
The web was spun Monday night in
some shubbery on Mr. Fritzs property
and was inspected by number of tho
neighbors yesterday. They all declared
that they could make ont the letters
forming President Wilson's name quite
plainly.
A similar web containing the name
wilson was discovered in West
Virginia a few weeks ago. Some peo.
pie yesterday called attention TO the
report that spiders spun webs bear
ing William McKinley's name the
summer and fall preceding his elec.
tion.
IL is said that this omen" has given
renewed nope TO some Democrats who
were becoming greatly disheartened
because Of the support that Charles
E. Hughes. the Republican nominee is
receiving in his campaign through
the west.
Democrats also claim that It being
an orange and black spider that
wove the word Wilson" is especial
ly significant. They point out that
these are the colors or Princeton

was formerly president and also the
colors OF Tammany Hall.
