NAVY GETS
BACK BOLD
TWIN BOYS

Eddie and John Wulzen, red
haired twins, who deserted from
the battleship Wakota several
days ago, hid their sailor suits
under a dock, and Jared forth to
see the world, each armed with a
nickel-plated revolver, are back
on shipboard today, as the re-
suit of their arrest last night in
Tacoma for smoking cigarets.
The boys are only II years
old, having been admitted to the
navy through special arrangement
with Secy. Daniels. Their par
ents live in California. 1t was
after their arrest for smoking
that they confessed to Detective
Capt. FackIer their desertion
from the navy.
Officer Jurisch received $50 re-
ward for the return of the boys
to Bremerton.

Forrest told her in the tone of a

right by the captain, mostly.
IT'D just be a fine "trip. And
anyway, if there was any fight
ing there'd only be a few fellows
shot.
We've got the best guns and

Forrest is not broken-hearted
about his rejection, however. He
is studying for entrance to An
napolis. He will enter high
school next year, and be ready
for admission, he thinks, by the
time he is II.
And maybe there'll be another
war by that time.
Forrest doesn't really hope so,
of course, YOU know, but.

Bit Of Bad
News For
Militia!

WASHINGTON, d. c., June
20.-Fearing it will be miscon-
strued as a warlike act, the war
department withdrew temporarily
its request for congress to pass a
resolution authorizing the presi-
dent to use the militia in Mexico.
Special Agent Rogers of Mexico
City wired Lansing to arrange for
q special train to take the Amer
leans from the capital tomorrow.
The message carried the first
news OF anti-American demon
STATIONS there. 1t said they did
not take serious turn.
Anti-American feeling at Salt
lilo is so intense that several
Americans and Englishmen have
been forced to take refuge in the
British consulate. The demon
stration took place after Consul
Silliman had departed for Eagle
Pass.

Ell PASO, June 20.-Defiance
by United States troops of Car

Pershing's forces if they moved
south, east or west, was the most

Castle. is an officer of the Tenth
United States Cavalry, which is re-
ported to have taken part in an en-
gagement between Americans and
Carranza forces on the Santo Dom
lingo ranch. near the Mexican town
of Carrizal. Whether the particular
detachment to which Captain Rodney
belongs was in the fight is not known,
as nothing has been heard of him since
that engagement. Captain Rodney.
however, was with the first detach-
ment to cross the border with Col.
Dodd's command, according to letter
received from him last week. His
family is at Fort Huaehus, Arizona.
where he was stationed at the time
troops were ordered into Mexico fol.
lowing the Columbus raid. A brother

Mr.. Hammond has 100 trees in the
orchard. but only 1,200 Of them have
fruit. In the entire orchard there Is
no fruit stung by any bugs, which
is accounted for by having been
sprayed three times already. Another
spraying will be given the trees to
develop color when ripening. AT nre-
sent men are pulling off the peaches
and leaving fruit only about four
inches apart on the limbs. This is a
thinning process which will cause the
fruit to be larger. and save the trees
from breaking ur der the load. Those

HASTEN NEW DORMITORY
At DELAWARE COLLEGE
GROUND TO BE CLEARED AND
BUILDING TO Be STARTED SOON
Also the Proposed Boulevard Thra the
College Property-New Sewers 10
be Put Under Depot Road

Delaware College authorities have
warned all tenants in properties pur-
chased bv the college a year ago on
South Main street to be out by July
% to make room for the new dormi-
tory building, which will be started
August, l and is to cost S75, 900.
Charles W. Strahorn and Miss Rather
inc Steele have also been warned out
of the houses they occupy on Depot
Road, as these houses will be razed
to allow the grading for the proposed
boulevard through the college pro-
perty.
Contractors Smith and Ruggles of
Baltimore have started the work of
extending the sewer 8. stem down the
Depot Road to a point below the
home of DR.. Samuel c. Mitchell.
The sewer will then be run across the
college property to Academy street.
The total cost will be nearly $40. 600
and most of it will be paid by the
college
Delaware College Experiment Farm
recently, by sale, reduced its Guernsey
herd from 45 to %. This herd was
established five and a half years ago.
In that time the college has paid
S11. 600 for all the Guernsey cattle
purchased and sales in that time total
SIG, PAL. This makes a profit of
81, 621. in addition to the % members
of the herd left, including a valuable
bull. the remaining part being valued
at $40, 900. 1t is figured that the
milk production and fertility will
off set the feed and labor. so the herd,
including the value of those left has
made a ptoft of more than SIS. 00C
in less than six years.

1900 farmers are prepared 10 speak
through one agent.
The d|clccation Of this service to
state department is, To my mind, Of
vastly greater Importance and signiil-
lnc than the employment OF an In
dividual or Of Il corporate business
agency. The eusou is that the depart
ment has the backing of the Attorney
General and of the police powers 81
the State To enforce its reasonable
rulings and t. protect It's patrons, be
they great or small, who buy milk for
distribution.
We have no disposition to d!s,urb
the existing conditions If II can be
avoided. We believe IN using agencies
that now exist, rather than in destroy
ing them and to creating others, Any
radical disturbance means waste. and
waste has no place IN any modern
system of distribution.
We are willing to distribute milk

would have no right to insist that
rents in New York had gone Up and
added to his living cost.
People a get any old kind OF rent
they desire. They can get just az good
places now for the safne money they
paid ten years ago. II they will accept
the changed conditions as TO locality
and shift to suit their pockctbook.
Take an illustration Of the steadi-
ness Of rents. We have houses IN
Seventy-seventh street between Park
and Madison They were
erected a number OF years ago.. They
are known as 'walkups.' They are Of
six rooms and rent for $40 to $50. Now
these 'walkups' will he orr down
October / and on their site will he
erected apartments that will bring
81 500 TO $500 per annum.
You cannot say hat tho present
tenants have had their rent raised and
their living cost Increased. They will
be able to get Just as good $40 and $50
apartments elsewhere. In some cases
ii Is possible that four and Ave room
apartments on the West Side that
brought $40 in 1911 now bring So, but
II is not the rule. The increase in this
case may be due to many increasing
advantages"
The increased cost Of living strikes
several 'mezzanine" points in the way

weekly regardless OF their receipts. AS
they have to give all kinds of credit,
II Is reasonable to suppose that many
Of them catch up with their meat bill
collector by charging an increased price
to make the profits Of the moment safe
guard them. Ask IA dozen men what
they pay for anything in the meat line
and you're liable to get a dozen diff
ferent answers, and not differences OF q
mere cent or two either"
Having these facts In mind the
reader going over the appended tables
will understand that he Is viewing
increases that should represent pro-
port.onally all hat his FOO products
should have increased In price In ten
ears But In actual experience he
will know that he has paid two and
three and four times more for articles
Of food than the tables show he should
have paid In reason. Let him look to
the shifts in the wholesale prices and
he will realize what a tremendous cause
Of the high cost Of living the retailer is.
IrNthe purchase Of clothing the bill
payer has a chance for his alley" at
the expense Of his pride. He can
make n suit do longer and buy his wife
fewer gowns. 1t Is possible for him to
do this. which Is the reason why 1t has
been pointed out that he Is not In the
same viselike grip as in the case OF
food. 1t Is also possible for him TO buy
the same number OF suits and gowns
as formerly but OF inferior material.
This Is the way that the manager OF
one of the best known clothing houses
of the city stated the sltuation:
Clothing has gone up In accordance
with the figures I have given you Tor
your table. II a man thinks he must
have the same number Of suits made

he bought five and ten years ago. then

and again he has to move.
But it docs not necessarily cause him
to pay more rent, Eemcmber-not
necessarily. But II cause him to re-
move to a more remote part OF the city
The man who paid s25 for a floor in
a certain locality in 1906 probably re-
moved by 1911 TO a point at least a mile
further toward the suburbs. And by
1916, II he still concluded he could
pay no more than $25. he was forced
TO remove at least two miles further
on. There are exceptions to this. but
the rule proves true In most cases.
Onc of the exceptions Is h a IN the
borough Of Manhattan there are ten
ants In Harlem who pay no more than
tenants three miles further north IN
The Bronx. or tenants over IN Brook
lyn. But II is generally the case that
the floors are kept In an attractive way
and the ncighborhood has successfully
survived many assaults OF the undo
s!rable element who have desired tn

Is exceptional.
