The slight hail which accompanied the
storm of Tuesday in the vicinity of Fred
erica caused considerable alarm when it
started to fall, as this section has been
visited for two years in succession with
hail storms which absolutely ruined the
crops for a dozen farmers on good farms;
but the hail did little of no damage this
time.
Potato Bugs Ruin Tomato Plants.,,
There is a complaint among several
farmers about Bowers Beach that the
potato bugs have practically ruined the
first tomato plants set in the fields. In
one instance the farmer has crossed the
field out and planted tin corn rather than
reset plants where the potato bugs seem
to he waiting to devour them.

THE Democrats deny that under pro-
tective tariff law the foreigner pays the
tax. Well, that is at least a debatable
question. There is absolutely no room
for doubt that the American citizen pays
the stamp tax, the income tax, and all
other direct taxes. Failure of the Demo-
cratic tariff law to reduce the cost of liv-
ing, even before the outbreak of the war
in Europe, was a pretty conclusive de-
monstration that the tariff had not been
added to the price the consumer had
been paying

THE National Republican Convention
will convene at Chicago next Tuesday to
nominate a candidate for President, and
at the present the indications point to a
harmonious convention, as few contests
are before the committee. The delegates
from Delaware will leave for Chicago on
Sunday morning next, and as General
T. Coleman DUPONT is a candidate for
the nomination, they will probably give
him the vote of Delaware as favorite
son.

THE parade to be held in Wilmington
on Saturday, June 10th, will be a public
expression by demonstration of the be-
lief of the people that this country must
be prepared to defend its interests thru
force if it must, and thru industrial pre-
paredness to meet the situations which
would arise quickly if war were forced
upon the country. 1t is expected that
ten thousand people will be in this
parade, which is not by any organization,
but a spontaneous expression of the peo-
pie themselves. and by the great business
interests which employ labor in the arts
and trades. It will be the most striking
public demonstration OF the desires of
the people to come before the public by
personal effort.

THE Democratic Publicity Bureau is
sending out large quantities of material
for the use of Democratic newspapers
and speakers, but not one word about
the tariff, Notwithstanding Woodrow Will
son has said that this is one issne that
we shall always have with us. This,
therefore, should give the cue to Re-
publicans. The tariff is the issue Of
which the Democrats are afraid, and the
Republicans should press it at all times
and in all places.

RAJ SING money for road maintenance
is more difficult than raising it for road
construction. Taxpayers do not expect
their clothes to wear forever without re-
pairs, but they often think that roads
should Withstand hard usage without any
money being needed for their mainten-
ance In some States large part Of
the money spent on such work is raised
BY taxing automobiles. but automobiles
are BY no means the only vehicles which
grind away the highways. In West Vir-
ginia lumber hauling has worn away
some Of the roads, and so the legislature
recently enacted law requiring persons
continuously using a county road so as
to cause more than usual wear to put
repair men on the road and to assist in
keeping it in good condition under the
Of the county court. Refusal
70 obey such an order is punishable by
or fine not exceeding $50
n both.

which the county and city have erected
in Wilmington, marks the beginning OF
a new era of business for our only city

centre Of Wilmington, for the next cen
tury it will stand as a credit to the fore

When You get behind the whistling
courage of Democrats you find things
painted dark blue. Few of the old
timers among the Democratic party,
reading the signs. can see anything but
a Republican landslide. The Under
wood Tariff as a revenue producer has
been a 6zzle. The administration is up
against the problem of raising money
and raising it through some kind Of
extraordinary measures. Extraordinary
measures are exceeding
ly unpopular with the American cleo
torate. Hence, the dark blue tinge in
Democratic circles

BETTER FIRE EQUIPMENT

The fire which nearly destroyed
Capt. Matson's residence last week
suggests to thoughtful citizens the fact
that a chemical truck would be about
the best part Of an effective equip
ment the city could have. Five min
utes at the beginning Of a fire e
more to the department than an hour
after a blaze has gotten well started.
With a good chemical truck fires can
be reached rapidly, and losses prevent
ed by being IN the ground early would
pay for a truck in less than a year.
The Register understands the city
council is favorable to purchasing a
truck, and If the flremen and other in
terested citizens will urge it a truck
can be secured. Many surrounding
cities are putting in a chemical truck
built at Luverne, Mimi, and as this is
not far away the merits of the truck
built there could be easily investigated.

the college auditorium Sunday after
noon. 1t will be remembered that Mr..
LoudenbaCk was the director of the de-
partment of music at the college some
years ago, and it is perfectly proper in
this connection 10 state that Brook
ings owes a considerable proportion of
its excellent taste in music to the UNI
firing effort of Mr.. Loudenback during
his residence here.
The program Of Sunday afternoon
was OF a historical nature illustrating
the five great epochs of the art. 1t
was rendered in a very mastery way
throughout, displaying particularly the
powers of the performer. While the
classical group was ~splendidly done,
Mr.. Loudenback appeared at his best
in his interpretations of the groups of
Romantic and Program music. The
Chopin Ballade was undoubtedly his
most finished number and the Hinton
Country Dance was not only interest
ing but magnetic from the brilliancy
and charm with which he invested it.

FOR RELIEF OF PRISONERS

After an urgent appeal to students
and faculty members at the weekly
c~onyocation at State College Wednes-
day morning, the people of the college
pledged over eighteen hundred dollars
to go to the relief of the prison camps
of Europe. 1t is very likely that be-
fore the amount is sent in on Thanks
living day it will be we'll above the
two thousand dollar mark. This
amount was made up only as a result
of a great sacrifice on the part of or
CARNATIONS and individuals who felt
that they could dispense with some of
their necessities if by so doing they
could alleviate the suffering to the
prison camps of warning Europe.
The sum raised here goes intact to
the relief Of prison conditions, no part
Of it being used in administrative work
in this country. The work is carried
on through the Young Mems Chris
tian Association, the only organization
to which such work is open
Mr.. Beaver gave some insight into
prison life in Europe. Scattered
throughout the camps, there are in the
neighborhood OF $500, 900 prisoners,
many Of them facing the third winter
Of such life. Many are suffering from
disease and wounds. The nations at
war are doing all in their power to i'm
prove prison conditions, but all too
little is possible.
The money raised this week is to be
sent directly t the prison camps on
Thanksgiving day. 1t has been arrang-
ed that any citizen of Bookings wish
ing to join in this contribution may
leave their checks or pledges either
with Mr.. Knappen at the Bank OF
BroOkings or with Mr.. Phillips at the
college Y. NJ. G. A. This is a project
well worth while.
