There never was a time in this

European war is not only remak-

continents, but it's influence is
shaping political, commercial and

United States. 1t is not the func-

At The Nations Foundation

Gibbon has said: Agriculture is
the foundation of commerce. He
might we'll have added that a per-
manent agriculture would be nee
assary to the modern commerce of
the present day. Commerce has
grown to enormous proportions.
Those who take part must be fed.
The fast increasing population de-
mands that our lands become
more productive. The man at the
nations foundation is the farm
err, and his responsibility includes
the production of the worlds sup
ply of food and the maintaining
of soil fertility. And so if Gibbon
had lived today he would amend
his statement to read: Permanent
Agriculture is the foundation of
commerce. Maintenance of soil
fertility, through proper rotation,
lining when necessary and the
right use of fertilizers and barn
manures, is the basis of perma-
nent agriculture. George B.

Trying TO Secure Rights-Of-Wa

y
The dupont Boulevard Corpora
ton which is building the Sussex
County portion Of T. G. duPont's
projected great State highway,
was stated is about to start suits
to acquire needed sections of right
of way on the 16 mile stretch be-
tween Georgetown and Milford.
Much of the needed right of way
has been obtained by gift or pur-
chase but number of land own
ers have declined to sell on terms
offered. If the legal proceedings
result favorably for the corpora
ton, the land secured Hereunder
will permit of the completion of
the Sussex County section of the
highway which is more than one
third of it's entire length as pro-
jected. The 20 mile section from
Selbyville to Georgetown is nearly
completed. The land sought with
the Courts aid lies mostly near
Milford on the Kent-Sussex
boundary. Thus far no construc-
ton work has been started in
Kent or New Castle County
though surveys have been made
and tentative routes outlined.

BIC BRUISERS ARE
GETTING READY FOR
SCRAP ON MARCH II
WILLARD AND MORAN, WHO
WILL MEET IN NEW YORK
NEXT MONTH, WILL FURNISH
AMUSEMENT.

New York, Feb. 9.-While Frank
Moran, from a physical standpoint, is
much more formidable opponent
than Jack Dillon would be for Jess
Willard, the fact remains that the
big western champion will possess
great advantage in height, weight
and reach over the. Pittsburg pugiGst
when the pair meet in their ten
round bout here March II. They are
nearly of equal age, Moran having
been born on March Is, 1887 and
Willard on December % of the same
year. In height Willard will tower
fully five inches over his opponent
who measures 6 feet 1 inch and as to
weight Moran will have to concede
at least forty pounds. He generally
enters the ring weighing couple of
pounds over the 200 mark while Will
lard in all likelihood viii not be very
much under $50 pounds, after train
ing for five weeks or less.
Wizards enormous reach of SO IL
inches as compared with Moran's 70
is a handicap which the Pittsburgher
will have to overcome in order to
have a chance of outpointing his big
adversary. That Moran is the pos
SCISSOR of courage, stamina and a
punch sufficiently effective for a
knockout has been demonstrated in
several of his ring battles. He has
been anxious to meet Willard ever
since the latter won the champion
ship from Jack. johnson nearly a
year ago, and basing his chances on
the showing he made against John
son at Paris in 1914. Moran believes
he has the ability and force to wear
down Willard even in a limited bout
of ten rounds.
If confidence is a potent factor in
a battle of this kind, Moran will not
be found lacking in this essential.
That he can absorb punishment of the
heaviest kind no one will deny, but
Moran may be over-confident of his
-prowess when pftted against such
giant as Willard. Moran makes no
secret of his intention to make this
the greatest effort of his career and
will try hard to land the champion
ship winning wallop with the chance
of taking one for the count himself.
Wizards absence from the ring
for. nearly a year, except in exhibition
bouts, may have untitled him for a
supreme effort, but as the coming

HUDSON DECLARES
STATE HOSPITAL A
DETENTION PLACE
CANDIDATE FOR I GOVERNOR
POINTS OUT NEED OF LEGIS-
LATION LOOKING TO BETTER
MENT OF CONDITIONS.

Tampa, Feb. 9.-Declaring that
the State Hospital for the Insane at
Chattahoochie, under existing laws, is
largely a mere place of detention
and a poor house, Senator F. M. Hud-
son, of Miami, who is a candidate for
governor in the approaching primary,
has given out statement wherein he
sets forth the need for curative legis-
lation Senator Hudson praises the
management of the institution, but
says that conditions beyond the con-
troll of the officials there greatly ham
per the work which is expected of it.
His statement given in the form of
an interview follows:
The Hospital for the Insane is UNI
der excellent management. Recent
improvements, such as the splendid
new tuberculosis ward, are in the
right direction. But those in charge
are hampered by conditions beyond
their control Under the existing law,
the institution is too much a mere
place of detention. Some of the in
mates are apparently sent there to re-

not be used as poor house. There
should be segregation; of the incura-
bles, for detention; of the epileptics
and feeble-minedy for the treatment
and training peculiar to their needs;
and for the durable there should be
provided the best facilities for effect
tive treatment. The chief needs is for
an enlargement of the excellent medi-
cal staff. Such changes should in
crease the efficiency of the institution
and better the condition of patients.
While there would be in some re-
spects an increase of expenses, it is
manifest that a great saving would be
effected because the number of pa
tents would be lessened, cures would
be FASTENED and increased and under
the most approved methods the epilep-
tic, minded and durable could be

HORRIBLE DEATH
Of FLORIDA GIRL
DISAPPOINTED, IT Is BELIEVED,
INDUCED HER TO TAKE HER
LIFE IN MOST UNUSUAL AND
AWFUL WAY.

The Tampa Tribune contains the
following: Christina Larger Vioso,
eighteen year-old wife of Diomisio
Vioso, burned herself to death yes
terday afternoon at their home, No.
237 Cordelia street, West Tampa.
The tragedy occurred about 1 o'clock
and death cana within five minutes
after the match was applied to the
kerosene-soaked garments. Neighb-
bors state that apparently. the de-
nestle relations of the couple were
harmonious and no cause for the act
is known.
The unfortunate woman was sitting
on the front porch with her husband
shortly before o'clock. while their
two-year-old baby girl played around
them. She arose suddenly, went into
the bathroom and few minutes later
rushed into the yard, flaming torch.
Husband and neighbors ran to her
with blankets, but assistance came
too late. Within five minutes every
shred of clothing was burned from
her body except her shoes.
Sonora Visoro was born in Cuba,
of Spanish parentage, but lived in
West Tampa for the past seven
years. Her parents are dead, but
there is a brother in Cuba who has
been notified. The husband is in the
employ of the Celestino Vega Cigar
