POTENT FOR DEMOCRACY /.
PORTRAYS POWER OF THE NEWSPAPER
In AN INTERESTING LECTURE.

"The newspaper is the most power
ful force in making democracy. 1t
is also the teacher, preacher, prophet
and educator of American democracy.
Such was the assertion of Henry
Robinson Palmer. chief editorial writ
er of the Providence Journel, before
an audience Of school teachers and
townspeople at Wolf Hall at Newark
last Monday night. "The Newspaper
as an Educational Force in the max
ing of Democracy" was the subject
of Mr.. Palmer's address. The max
ing of a democracy" the speaker said,
els a significant phrase. 1t reminds
us that democracy is not a completed
thing, but something in the making
continuing process, forever trying
new experiments"
Defending the newspapers again un-
warranted attacks, Mr.. Palmer point
ed out that among all the implements
that can be used to make democracy
safe for the world, the newspaper is
the most powerful. 1T is not an ac-
credited agent of the people. empow-
cred and instructed to Gull from the
worlds literature the best it contains.
1t is a home university. with courses
in all conceivable subjects" AS a pa
triot, too, the speaker showed the
newspaper to be one of the dominating
factors, without which, he said, the
war could have never been won. FL
nally, as a preacher, he pointed out
that the newspaper and the church
have common functions. "The editor"
he said, like the man in the pulpit,
is a pleader, an exhorter, an inspirer."

FULL BRED HOLSTEIN
CALVES WILL BE SOLD

The Delaware Holstein Friesian As
sociation, cooperating with the coun-
ty farm bureaus, will hold a consign-
ment sale of twenty-five head of pure
bred Holstein bull calves at Middle
town at 1.SO Tuesday, July 20.
This sale will be held in conjunction
with the project which the State
Breeders Associations and county
farm bureaus have been promoting,
the slogan Of which is "a pure bred
bull on every farm"
These bull calves are being con-
signed by the best breeders in the
State, and it will be a unique oppor-
tunity for the farmers of Delaware to
secure herd sires.
The committee in charge has stip-
ulated that there will be some bulls
consigned the breeding of which will
justify their going at the head of the
highly bred pure bred herds, while
other bulls consigned will be suitable
to grade herds.
This is the first sale of its kind
ever held in Delaware and every far
mer who has a grade bull or desires
a better pure bred bull should con-
slider 1t duty to attend this sale.

OTHER THAN THE SPECIAL DISTRICTS.
THE CAPITATION OUTSIDE SPECIAL
DISTRICTS IS S4.OO.

Rates for the several school districts
in Sussex county were fixed by the
officials Tuesday of this week in ac-
cordance with the provisions of the
new school code. The rate for the
special districts is higher than that
for the rest of the county, as had
been expected. The rates as appOr-
toned, follow:
Georgetown district-Capitatio Sc;
rate 20 cents on the 500.
Seaford-Capitation So; rate 20 cents

The rate of so cents on s10O and a
eapitation of S4 was fixed on taxables
in all sections other than the special
districts.
AS an illustration of how the new
rates will work, the following is given:
taxable residing in Georgetown,
which is classed as one of the special
districts who has real estate assessed
for general county purposes in the
sum Of $4,000, will have to pay S35,
plus the s6 capitatiOn. or SAL.
The general county assessment in
the respective districts will be used
as the basis for computing the tax,
and during the past few days the Off
cials of the Board of Assessment have
been busy separating and compiling
lists of taxables in the several dis
tricts.
The schools in the town of Milford
are located in Kent county and for
that reason the rate is not known yet
The members of the Kent county Levy
Court are tardy in accepting the pro-
visions of the Code. as a result of
which the tax rebate will in all prob /

ANTHRAX UNDER CONTROL
PROMPT ACTION ON PART OF BOARD
STOPS SPREAD OF DISEASE.

Prompt report OF suspected cases
and quick action of the State Board
of Veterinary through the local vet
erinarians, who inoculated the cattle
in the infected district for the State,
caused the spread of Anthrax in the
infected districts of Kent county to
cease to produce new cases since the
latter part Of last week.
DR.. Roberts reports that no cattle
died after the serum was used, and
this shows what can be done where
all people shoulder responsibility for
and live up to the laws regulating the
reporting and the burial Of animals
that die from infectious or contagious
diseases.
It's the lazy milk-and-water people
who are afraid to do their duty who
cause most of the waste and death of
this land.
The Anthrax trouble is one of the
many things which cannot be trified
with.

TO AID EXTENSION WORK
THREATENED INTERRUPTION WILL BE
PREVENTED BY SERVICE CITIZENS.

The Service Citizens Of Delaware
will come to the assistance Of the ag-
ricultural extension work under Dean
Harry Hayward at Delaware College,
and will provide the funds necessary
to secure the government appropria-
ton for the continuance of the work
in this State.
Owing to the failure of the legisla-
ture TO empower the Levy Courts Of
the State to appropriate money for
this purpose. the extension work at
Delaware College was in danger Of
interruption for time, and this would
have made necessary the withdrawal
from the field OF several workers who
have been doing a very great service
in the State, especially among the
boys and girls in the perfecting Of
club organizations.
In order to secure the government
appropriation, which for this State
will amount to S3.19S for this year
and the same amount for next year.
and 5000 on the salary of each OF
three workers in the extension service.
making 1896 which the State was in
danger of losing, it was necessary that
some source other than the State gov
ernment should be looked to for the
money.
The matter was put up to the Ser
vice Citizens of Delaware, and it is
on reliable authority that
the special committee of that organi-
zation appointed to look into the mat
ter has recommended that the money
be supplied in order that the govern
ment appropriation may be obtained
and the extension work in the State
continued on the same scale that it
has been conducted under the emer-
gency appropriations of the govern
ment during the war.
This will enable the retention in the
field in Sussex and Kent counties of
two workers in the organization Of
boys and girls clubs, and also the
of Prof. c. A. McCue in hor-
ticultural work.
