since Wednesday this question had
been Investigated and it was found
that under the amendments the nsur-
ance rates will probably be less than

laws in New Castle County, which were
introduced by Representative Danzen-
baker and advocated by the Levy Court.
The first bill will give the county pos
session Of property condemned for road
purposes more promptly than II can
be secured under the present law; the

colored school district. No. l99, in sus-
sex county, to cover an insuflciency in
! tue amount allowed the district from
the State school funds for the year
1918. II was brought our during the
discussion that the school received all
the funds II was entitled 10 from the
State, but there was a shortage in the
amount TO run the school that year and
some ciizens went on note for Si301i
to keep the school going. They lost this
as the extra amount was not raised in
taxes to reimburse them. The mem
bers Of the House thought II would es-
tabl sh bad precedent to pass this bill
and killed IL.
After 10 had been read the House. on
motion OF Representative McNabb, de-
ferred the taking OF the vote on Mr.
Lyons bill authorizing the printing Of
4OO volumes Of equity cases decided by
FORMER Chancellor John r. Nicholson
during his term of office. Mr.. McNabb
raised the question as to about what il
would cost to have them printed and
this matter VIII be looked up before a
vote is taken. Later the objections
We're satisfied and the bill passed.
Representative Gregc's bill to system
lie the conducting Of Farmers Inst
tutes in the state got just sufficient
votes to pass IT, the vote being is yeas
and nays. The State appropriates 5000
annually for this work and the original
Dill introduced by Mr.. Gregg increased
the amount TO 5000, but this increase
was cut of n the substitute which was

ury Savings Certificates The gre
nades are expected TO arrive at the Fed
eral Reserve Bank in San Francisco
from Washington within the next
thirty DAYS, but owing 10 probable
freisht delays, no exact date of arrival
can be given
These hand grenades which the War
Department had on hand when the ar
mistice vas signed, all loaded with
INT to bomb the Germans out OF their
machine gun nests and dugouts have
been turned into savings banks by
simply taking out the INT and cutting
4 coin slot in the side. Save for those
nades known as the Mills Bomb No. II.
As souvenirs Of the Great War they
have been sought after ayidly in the
East. where one enterprising firm,
which managed somehow to get few
OF them put them on the market at a
dollar each. They sold like hot cakes.
Persons up to twelve years of age
can get a grenade by purchasing one

two stamps; over IS. one 500 or one
$1,000 Treasury Savings Certificate, all
OF which mature in five years and
bring four per cent interest compound
ed quarterly
Ask any bank about them and get
your name in today The supply is
limited. These are the only hand
grenades in this country. They were
ready for shipment to our doughboys
when the war ended and were turned
over TO the Treasury Department by
the War Department to stimulate thrift

LET The SENATE RATlFY

Let the hysterical members OF the
United States senate settle down again
to state of sanity and reasonable bal
snce and proceed to ratify the peace
treaty. Senators Borah and johnson
have been acting like members of a
high school debating society. They
have harrangued the public Just be
cause they are angry. Naturally they
got some applause. Both possess more
than average oratorical ability. In
deed. both have formerly displayed
more than average ability for national
leadership. but now both have lost
much Of this prestige by their opposi-
ton to the peace treaty and the League
of Nations.
The League of Nations may be far
from perfect. but amendments to it
now will put Germany in way to es-
cape paying for some of the horrible
music she played with her application
of the doctrine of might the past four
wears.

scribed. But if the giving is made with

Perhaps Teddy Roosevelt wouldn't 7
care for any such monument, but he
deserves some such token of the love
the country had for him. Roosevelt
was well hated in some quarters and
heartily loved in the majority. He
was one of the most popular presidents
we have ever had. Give freely..for a

plans to eliminate japanese land own

Such citizenship is automatic under the
