& Reports on seven important pro-
Jects were accepted by the New
Castle County Farm Bureau Ex-
ecutive Committee at its monthly
meeting held Saturday, April 5, in
the office of the Bureau of Labor
at Wilmington.
In the absence of President
Frank Yearsley, Vice President C.
P. Dickey reported on the farm
bureau bill stating that it had
passed the House by 80 to 8 vote,
but was defeated in the Senate by
one vote. Mr.. Dickey stated that if
funds were not raised from other
sources to supplant those that
would have been made available by
the proposed bill that it would be
necessary to decrease the farm bu-
reau forces which would seriously
handicap the work. Especially
would the Boys and Girls Club
Work suffer as during the past
year 1902 boys and girls were en-
rolled and it would be imperative
that large portion of the work be
abandoned. A farm bureau finance
committee was appointed.
Following general reports by
County Agent R. O. Bausman and
Home Demonstration Agent Helen
Comstock, Dairy Project Leader ].
S. Moore reported that the ac-
credited herd bill for the eradica-
tion of tuberculosis among dairy
cattle was voted out of the House
Agricultural Committee on it's
merits, but did not reach the
House for a second reading. In re-
porting the pure bred bull on
every farm project, Mr.. Moore
stated that the project had been
presented at at least one meeting
of each local organization of the
milk producers association and
that in case the meeting had gone
on record as approving the project
and a list of names was handed to
the chairman of those men who
had grade bulls and were interest
ed in replacing them with pure
breds. Orders for sixteen sign
boards were also handed in.

HOLY WEEK
CEREMONY AT THE.
RIVER JORDAN
Greek Patriarch Washes the
Feet of Twelve
PILGRIMS

No mere tourist, it is said, can en-
ter into nor understand the real reli-
gious or social life of the people who
dwell in Eastern countries and who
have their own peculiar religious cele-
brations during Holy Week.
Both Christian and Moslem pill
grims visit the river Jordan. The
washing of feet excites great curios-
ity. On Holy Thursday the day pre-
ceding Good Friday, the Greek Pat
riarch washes the feet of twelve pill
grims.
This service and ceremony is per-
formed in the open court in front of
the cathedral, on a temporary plat
form decorated with olive boughs. The
patrlarchs of the Catholic and Armen-
ian communities perform similar
service inside the cathedral, to which
the general public is not admitted. On
Good Friday all-day services are in
order, and special services with cere-
monies commemorating the crucifxion
take place from six in the evening un-
til midnight. On Holy Saturday, also
known as the sabbath of Light" all
lights in the cathedral are extinguish-
ed. The Greek and Armenian sects
relight their lamps, candles and fires
from a flame which is believed bv
them to appear on the holy sepulcher
on that day. This is the crowninp
event of Lent to the Greek, Armenian,
Syriac and Coptic creeds. Millions
OF wax tapers and candles are lighted
at this flame, burned a few minutes,
then carefully packed and treasured
as sacred relics which are carried and
distributed over the whole civilized
world.
At midnight the service of the re-
surrection is performed, after which
many of the pilgrims start on their
homeward journey.

GOVERNMENT
AGAIN CONSIDERS
SERVICE INSIGNIA
War Department Offers No
Objection to Sale
of Pins

Once more the question has arisen
as to what sort of distinctiove insignia
shall be given by the government to
the men who served III the army and
who are returning by thousands to
civil life. The men coming home from
overseas are distinctive enough so
long as they retain their uniforms.
Some of them look like human rain
bows with their service ribbons and
decorations, their gold stripes and
their divisional and army markings
on eleeves and shoulders. And the
men who did not get chance to go
abroad also are distinctive with their
silver stripes, and in many cases their
red chevron, denoting honorable dis
charge.
But service stripes, decorations and
queer divisional and corps insignia all
disappear when the douhhboy gets
into civilian togs.
The most sensible thing, of course,
would be for the War Department to
issue metal button to all who are
entitled to wear it. Congress may
have to approve such a scheme, but
the soldiers are a unit in demanding
this mark of recognition. The men
with service overseas naturally are
desirous of having service emphasized
in permanent insignia granted by the
department.
This problem could be easily met.
The service buttons for the stay at
homes and for the members of Ameri-
can expeditionary force could be of
exactly similar design but with diff
ferent lettering. One might read
"for service during the war with Ger
many" while the second would read
"for service overseas during the war
with Germany"
Canada, which is doing the hand
some thing all around for her return
ing soldiers, already has granted SER
vice buttons to the men who once
more have donned civilian clothes. To
the men who fought in the Canadian
corps the lettering on the buttons
reads "for service at the front"
1t might be feasible to have even
this third class of button in the
American army-for service at the
front-for criticism frequently is
heard that some of the "swankiest"
of the men in the overseas forces are
those who d. not get within sound of
the guns.
In the eantime souvenir manufac-
turers endeavoring to provide the
soldi, with makeshift insignia in
the way of gold and silver pins. Their
activities were called to the attention
of the department some time ago, but

QUARREL CLUE FAILS

Anonymous AdUice Begins to
Flood Investigators.

The case OF Dr. Walter X. wilkins,
accused OF the murder of his wife AZ

will be tried in May, Is beginning to re-
ceive the attention OF the letter. writer's

Another letter warned him that some of
the evidence he has gathered rested
upon doubtful authority; a third offered
to reveal valuable information for a

Meantime detectives working OH the
case have announced that the story that
DR.. wilkins and his wife Quarreled at

rel between the physician and his wife

BURTON CRITICISES
LEAGUE COVENANT
Admits in Debate That 1t
Needs Qualification on
Many Points.

THE League OF Nations is not per-
feet. 1t needs Qualification on many
points such rs when vote Is required
| TO be unanimous or when a majority
| vote is sufficient. and when and under
what circumstances a member OF the
league may withdraw. The unfortunate
differences that have arisen between
President Wilson and the Senate over
| the leagues covenant constitute n Sc
| rious obstacle in the way OF peace"
Former United States Senator Theo.
dore K. Burton OF Ohio gave expression
to the foregoing sentiments last night In
the course of the debate before the Mu-
| niciral Club in Brooklyn on the general
proposition of the League OF Nations.
While stoutly defending the principle OF
the league, Mr.. Burton admitted posi-
Bile shortcomings In the covenant as II
has been presented so far to the Ameri-
can people.
His remarks were made in response to
the arguments OF Henry A. Wise Wood,
who In the course OF his criticisms Of the
proposed covenant asked whether Mr.
Burton would be willing to subscribe to
certain provisions In the proposed cove
nant
Mr. Wood paraphrased these provi-
Ssions as follows:'
Guarantee the territorial integrity
and political Independence of foreign
states.
"Administer and police distant foreign
peoples
Engage in wars at the command of
Governments other than our own
"Jeopardize our right to frame our
own immigration and labor laws.
Cease doing business with the people
of any nation at the command of a group
OF foreign Governments.
Permit a group OF foreign Govern
ments to regulate the growth OF the
army and navy of the United States.
Abandon the protection offered by
the Monroe Doctrine
Surrender the rights of free and in
dependent States, which are defined by
the Declaration OF Independence as full
power to levy war. conclude peace. con-
tract alliances. establish commerce, and
TO do all other acts and things which
Independent States may Of right do"
Mr.. Burton said the mystifying points
| OF the leagues covenant involved; The
procedure In the body OF delegates; de-
| termination OF when majority vote
| suffice instead OF complete unanimity
what circumstances a signstory nation
might withdraw from the league.
This last" said Mr.. Burton. lis a
most serious question. It should not be
| left unsettled but provision should be
made by which a nation might Withdraw
| after giving notice. But I do not be-
| lieve that any nation should be allowed
| to withdraw at will"
The former Senator asserted that II
| the league plan was not adopted a wal
worse than the one just concluded might
| follow. Are we 80 eager he asked
| ITO wage war that we will not have re-
| strictions placed on our power to do so ??
