pamphlets and other publications of the
department cover every phase of the
question. and are couched IN simple lam
guage that VIII be understood even by
the man who doesn't know potato
plant from tomato vine and never
planted seed iu his life.
The distribution o. these pamphlets
will be but q mall part Of the active

try as a war measure. An active pro-
grammc has been mapped out FOR them'
including the cultivation of gardens,

the art Of preserving food, promoting
lectures on agriculture and dozen
other phases OF similar activity.

MANY SEE MOONS ECLIPSE

Shadow That Passed Over it Was
Seen by Number in Smyrna Sunday
Several Smyrnians who stayed
awake Sunday night had the advantage
of seeing the first total eclipse of the
moon for this year. Starting at
exactly 1910 O'Clock Monday morn
ing the earth's shadow showed on the
corner or outer edge of the moon, and
by degrees spread over the whole
surface until it shone dimly under a
heavy saffron veil. AS a rule the
streets of Smyrna are not lighted on
moonlight nights, but so dark did the
shadow make it, the lights were turned
on. The eclipsing of the moon took
considerable time. 1t being well on to
three O'Clock before the moons face
was covered. This eclipse of the moon
was visible in North America, Central
and Western Europe, Northwestern
Africa, South America and the central
and southern portions of the Pacific
ocean. So that who ever was fortunate
enough to see the eclipse can think
that the same eclipse was seen by the
soldiers in the trenches in France and
at the same time was visible to the
inhabitants of the islands cleaning
like pearls" in the Southern Pacific.

State Supreme Court Uphoids Decision
of Chancellor in the KilIen Case

State Supreme Court Uphoids Decision
of Chancellor in the KiIIen Case
Supreme Court in decision handed
down on Thursday by Chief Justice
Pennewill, in the case of John w. and
Mary Evelyn Killen VS.. William and
Francis A. Purdy. sustaining the de-
cislon of Chancellor Charles M. Curtis,
in the matter of certain deeds executed
by Killen and his wife and upheld
Purdy and his son in the rights claimed
in mill dam and about 25 acres of
land, alleged to have been conveyed
by the Killens to the Pnrdys. The
case, which was argued at the last
term of the June term Of the Supreme
Court before Chief Justice Pennewill
and Associate Justices Boyce. Conrad,
Rice and Heisel, attracted good deal
of attention throughout the State.
A. Nj. DAILY and John R. Nicholson,
represented Killen and his wife, and
W. w. Harrington and Robert H.
Richards represented their opponents.
Killen and his wife executed a 80
year lease to Purdy and his son grant
ing them the exclusive right to fish
in a mill-pond, near FELTON, where
Purdy and other Philadelphia friends
went frequently to fish for bass. 1t
was alleged in the complaint before
Chancellor Curtis that the deed signed
by Killen and his wife had been forged
or signed under the belief that it was
another paper. 1t also was contended
the sheets containing the Killen
signatures had been substituted for
the original sheets which contained
matter of another character. Chancel-
lor Curtis sustained the character of
the deeds and the recent decision COM
firms this judgment.

was the same as on the previous ones.
1t is likely that Governor Miller's

afternoon. whether the Senate is or
ganized or not. Unless the message
