age, which compels anxiety over planting
harvesting and delivery to market. Again,
the increasing difficulty in getting COM
mercial phosphate and the cars in which
to transport both fertilizers and the crops
when ready for market increases trouble.
But this season the elements have COM
bined to make the farmers business and
peace of mind anything but happy. The
late, wet spring has been succeeded by a
cold, wet summer, and the wheat crop
as it stands in the fields harvested, but
waiting for weather proper for threshing
out the grain, is sprouting in the shocks.
This will cause a considerable loss to the
growers, unless the weather conditions
suddenly change. The fruit growers are
worrying over the wet weather because
the fungus growth which causes rot and
ruin Of all fruit crops, is spreading with
alarming rspidity. The farmers life is
not bed of easy, or even roses

THE AUTOMOBILES lines for bringing
liquor into Kent and Sussex counties,
are finding considerable trouble attached
to the business, and some of them have
fallen into the clutches of the law. The
fellow who deliberately takes a load OF
people to Wilmington or other points,
for the purpose Of having them bring
back illegal quantities of whiskey, is as
guilty as the passengers they carry, and
they will have no one to blame if they
get into trouble for this business.

IN SELECTING Arthur r. Spaid as the
successor of DR.. Charles A. Wagner as
State Commissioner of Education, Gov
ernor Townsend has given to the cause
Of education in Delaware, a man capable
of measuring mp to the requirements Of
the position. Arthur X. Spaid is no
stranger to the people of Delaware IS
he was at one time Superintendent Of
Public Schools in New Castle County,
and by reason of this he has one less
handicap in taking over the Office. Since
his absence from Delaware he has taken
special courses in training in one OF the
leading universities and has the FIRE of
youthful enthusiasm and love for his
professor. For this reason we believe
the Governor has made a wise choice.
However, the future will soon tell the
of this belief. The duties of
the Commissioner of Education are such
as that official creates in application of
laws, and in the effort to get the best for
the money expended in public school |
There are no set formulas
for his work, but by close study of the |
work of the schools, and by presenting
The facts of his observations to the people
n clear, convincing manner, the short
,omiugs of school methods will be brought
'ut, and the people be satisfied to make
he changes necessary to save the many
yasteful efforts and expenditure of money

The Commissioner of Educa-
ion in Delaware has big job cut out for

bility and energy along the lines of his !

SINCE THE Anti Shipping law and tn,
bottle irepealing law went into effect
there is a notable absence of empty
whisl.ey bottles s,rewn along the public
roads of Delaware. In addition to this
there is a notable absence Of liquor in all
the towns, and the habitual drunkard,
or drinker, has very much improved
facial appearance. A slow poison like
whiskey, undermines the physical body,
as well as the moral character Of its vic
tim. Prohibition has certainly helped
lower Delaware.

CoLoRRD Camp Meetings are required
to get permits before they can be held in
Delaware. The cause for this regulation
was the recurring tragedies which ac-
companied the holding OF camp meetings
by the oolored people in all parts Of Del
aware. Several murders in the past FIVE
wears have been the result of lawless in.
dividuals going to these meetings while
uuder the influence OF liquor, and OF
course hrawls occurred which resulted in
murder. For that reason the Legislature
placed a regulation upon these meetings.
There can be do harmful results from, the
camp meetings themselves, but it is the
element which has made them the op-
Portunity for disorderly conduct, and
themselves disgrace to the state.

The administrative committee of the

MEXICAN GOLD COINS

The first of the new Mexican gold pieces have made their appearance in this city. On one side is the eagle of Anahuac, grasping the writhing rattle snake in his talons. Around the outer edge of the field appear the words ''Estados Unidos Mexicana," and un- der the wing of the eagle is the date of minting-1917. The reverse side of the coin is most unique, bearing a faithful reproduction in miniature of the won- derful Aztec calendar stone, discover ed near Mexico City, while around it appear the words ''Viente Pesos, 15 Grains Orc Puro." Instead of being milled, the idea seen on the latest gold coins of the United States was adopt ed and the phrase "Independencia y Libertad" is indented into the edge. The mere sight of the coin appeared to give a feeling of stability as re- gards Mexico. which has been on a paper" monetary basis for so long.

AS A DESERTER

Antonio Marticich. an Austrian who was taken into custody a few days ago at Naco and brought here, charged with being a stacker, probably will be turned over to the military at Camp Harry J. Jones for trial on the charge of desertion, because of failing to ap- pear for the required examination be- fore any exemption board.
 A telegram received here yesterday from Globe by Justin c. Daspit, agent for the department of justice, said Mar ticich's serial number was 1906 and his name was included in the first call in that county.
 Marticich admitted here he had left Miami. where he registered in July and had gone to Mexico, making stops in Fl Paso and Naco. His intention was to go to Nogales. Sonora, to open a soft drink stand. he said. At the time he was arrested he told United States commissioner under oath he had lived in Mexico several years.

BALL

With the season for baseball draw ing to close, the chasers of the pig skin are buzzing around looking for an early start with the & A. team of last year ready. Many of last years stars are still here and several new stars have reported to the manager for tryouts and as the troops are chang ing around it is hoped that there will be many good games seen here this year with teams from other states. The Indian team of the First Arizona who made it so interesting for the To- cal team last year may be missing but the manager has arranged for the h. dian school team of Phoenix to pay the town a visit. The State Fair as- sociation has also promised the local team a date at the fair.
