The melon and canataloupe crops
promised to be bumpers until the
floods of rains came the past four
weeks and greatly damaged them.
There is a greater acreage but there
will be only one-third the usual crop
because so many young melons just
forming have rotted and fallen off the
vines.
At Seaford there promises to be a
large late crop of cantaloupes if the
rains do not continue but so much wa
ter makes the fruit of less ~relishable
quality. Standard eantaloupes sold
for 81 a carrier and jumbos were 81
at Seaford this week.

enough ice for the refrigerator cars.

Camp Caesar Rodney

Near the Delaware and Chesapeake
Canal at Lakewood, Delaware, about
midway between Delaware bay and
Elk river, is Camp Caesar Rodney, an
ideal spot for a camping place for
boy scouts. This is the fourth year
that the Wilmington Council Boy
Scouts of America have been there.
1t is a most suitable place for boys
where boating, swimming, fishing,
racing and drilling are had.
About thirty members of the Boy
Scouts of Carneys Point and Penns
Grove went there last Saturday for
two weeks camping and are having a
good time.
Who was Caesar Rodney?
Delaware had three delegates in the
Colonial Congress. They were George
Reed and Thomas Mexican, of New
Castle, and Caesar Rodney, of Dover.
While the debate over the adoption of
the Declaration of Independence was
going on Caesar Rodney was at home
quelling the Tories and stirring up the
Patriots. He made speeches, raised
moneys and helped to get together
fresh troops of militiamen to
strengthen Washington's army of
fighting continentals.
The story goes that Caesar Rodney
was a frequent visitor to the home of
a young Quaker widow, at Lewes.
She was a Tory, but beautiful and
witty. 1t was said that Caesar Rod
Rowland, as a Quaker, believed all
fighting was wrong, but she was al
ways friendly with General Rodney,
Il &c H. olaxaon1nY of
the militia.
Mexican favored declaring the Col
onies Independent while Mr.. Reed was
against it. General Rodney favored
the Declaration of Independence and
with him absent Delaware vote was
tie. Mexican sent several messages
to Rodney which were withheld by
Mistress Rowland. Mexican wondered
why Rodney did not return and kept
sending urgent messages for him to
return Immediately, break the tie and
have Delaware's vote recorded for In
dependence.
On July Sd a message came from
Mexican that the vote would be taken
July 4th and for him to hurry. At
last the Quaker widow gave to Rodney
the letters, begging him to hurry to
Philadelphia.
Rodney started to his feet, mounted
his steed and galloped for 80 miles,
broke the tie vote and Delaware voted
for Independence.
Rodney was one of the most heroic
characters in Revolutionary history.
His ride for independence stands on
a level with GLOW They Brought the
Good News from Client to AK"
(Browning); "Paul Revere's Ride"
(Longfellow); and "Sheridan's" Gu
chanan Reed).

More Alcohol Is Being Used

Maybe the July l dry law has
nothing to do with it and maybe, II
has. but the tax payments on alcohol
at the 1920 a gallon rate in the Del
aware district have materially IN
creased since the beginning OF the
great drought.
Alcohol pays the tax at the low rae
of 1920 a gallon as compared with the
sc. 40 a gallon for beverage spirits be-
cause its use is restricted to u
trial an scientific purposes. Large
quantities are employed by hospitals
for external application, and the
makers of extracts and various rene
dies. real or so-called, use a great
deal. ~.
For the withdrawal of alcohol at the
1920 rate, the Commissioners Oh IN
ternal Revenue requires a bond suffl-
Gent to cover the tax at the beverage
rate of S6.40 a gallon and then com
pels the distiller and the dealer to
keep a record of every sale. In thls
wav the government is able to trace
the alcohol from the distiller to the re,
taller. and if the latter's trade should
show an abnormal increase IN the safes
of preparations containing a percentage
of alcohol there is likely to be a smut
ting off of the supply to the whoie-
saler.

Government Buys C. & D.. Canal

A check for S2,346,451.66 drawn by
the Treasurer of the United States
was paid into the Federal Court for
Wilmington district Friday, and was
deposited in the s~ub-treasury with
the Assistant Treasurer at Philadel-
phia Saturday afternoon by Commits
sioner Mahaffy.
This is for the requirement by the
Government of the Chesapeake & Del
aware Canal Company's property, and
a transfer will shortly be applied for
by the Fidelity Trust Company in the
interest of the former owners. The
difference between the amount of the
check and the Congressional appro-
priation of $2,500,000 represents the
amount of the award against the prop
erty, made as the outcome OF an ac-
ton brought some time ago on behalf
of the Government, payment of which
was a prerequisite to the transfer.
The deed for the transfer is now be-
ing prepared by District Attorney
Charles T. Curley. When completed
this will authorize the transfer OF the
canal property to Col. J. P. Jervey,
u. S. Engineer for the Wilmington
district, in whose charge it will be
while the reconstruction work is in
progress.
Col. Jarvey said Saturday that it
will take some time before the actual
operations can begin. A dredge will
have to be built for work on the sum-
nit level, and plans for this are not
yet made. This will be of the hydrau-
lie type, delivering the silt through a
pipe line, which will probably be util-
lied in fill work at the canal entrance.
A law of the State prohibits the
taking out of its limits any material
dredged Dr. excavated within its Dor
ders, so this provision must be com
piled with.
Major General William M. Black,
Chief Engineer, arrived in Wilmington
with his aide, Captain Hoffman, and
Brigadier General H. Taylor, of the
Corps of Engineers. They, together
with Colonel J. P. Jervey, District En-
gineer for this district, and George w.
T. Miller, Assistant Engineer, left here
Monday morning about 8 o'clock on
the u. S. inspection boat Joyeuse for
an inspection of the Chesapeake and
Delaware Canal. The title in the canal
is expected to be vested IN the Gov
eminent in a few days.

Americans In Making

Three hundred foreign men, women
and children, representing the eleven
Americanization classes of Whining
ton, which closed on Friday, partici-
pated in their first american" picnic
on Saturday afternoon. AS many as
twelve nationalities were represented.
The various school groups were trans
ported in true picnic fashion through
the courtesy of the Joseph Bancroft
& Sons Co., the Harlan shipyard, E. l.
DUPONT de Nemours & Co., and Bro
sius & Smedley Co., who supplied
trucks and drivers for the occasion.
The natural picnic grounds of Mrs.
E. Paul DUPONT, near Montchanin,
formed an ideal setting for the celebra-
ton. Miss Margaret Burnett, super
visor of Immigrant Federation in
Wilmington, assisted by the teachers
of the various schools, directed sports
of the afternoon. There was a fifty
yard dash for the younger men, a po-
tato race for the older men, a peanut
scramble for the mothers that proved
to be one of the most interesting
events of the afternoon; and a final
walking ace for the winners. In the
last mentioned Joseph Deluca, of No.
4 School, triumphed over Joseph Syl-
vester of No. II, winning the trophy,
a beautiful victory pennant for his
school.
Of course there was the basket sup
per under the fine old trees, enjoyed to
the full, in sociable picnic fashion, by
the various school groups. There was
the delicate fragrance of mint and the
pleasing ripple of the meadow stream;
the spontaneous laughter of genuine
enjoyment, and above all, a chorus of
friendliness expressed sometimes in
English that was hard for the listener
to follow or again the varied dialects
of the homeland. "This just like the
old country one man declared, "just
like here" with an expressive gesture
| toward the steep hill that rises beyond
the clump of wood.
After supper the brush from the
clearing was piled high and %represen-
tatives from a dozen countries-all
Americans in the making-sat Shout
der to shoulder, in happy, care-free
enjoyment, following an American
leader in American songs. The "pict-
ure man. was present and snapped
the group in many unconscious poses.
A Jolly watermelon party with lolh-
pops for the children, was the final
event of the evening.
"The success of the picnic" one
member of the characterization Com
mite declared, twas the presence of
the foreign mother. For the first time
she appeared in any number, at a
community gathering in Wilmington.
Three women from a mothers class
came with ten children; a father, a
member of one of the night classes,
remained at home to enable a mother
with eight children to come" And
all-men and women, and children
found the occasion perhaps the most
delightful of the many good times
that the schools have brought to these
foreign people.

Bank Will Buy Cows For Farmers

An offer has been made by the Mil
ford Trust Company to finance the
purchase of one II more carloads of
pure bred cattle for the farmers in
Cedar Creek hundred. The offer has
already been accepted by the Milford
Cooperative Creamery, the Milford
Grange and members of the Farm
Bureau in that locality. There is a
growing sentiment in all parts of Sus-
sex County for thoroughbred cattle,
and within a few years lower Della
ware is expected to be a thriving dairy
section.
Several months ago farmers in this
section of the County had the chance
of getting a milk train on this divis-
ion, but a survey of the situation dis
closed the fact that there was not
enough dairy COWS to warrant running
of such a train.
For years most of the farmers in
Sussex County have been content with
raising a little corn, wheat, tomatoes
and strawberries. Usually they kept
one or two cows in order to supply
the household needs. Some of them,
however, began to realize that they
could add to their profits during the
year by raising more cattle, and from
time to time would add to their small
herd. The result has been that at last
they are beginning to realize that
there is a profit in cattle raising.
For many years the farmers in Ce-
dar Creek, Broadkiln and Lewes and
Rehoboth districts have engaged in
cattle raising more extensively than
other localities in the County.

Fewer Arrests In Wilmington

That the enforced "dry" spell that
has prevailed throughout the country
since July 1, when the wartime proh1-
bition act became effective, has a a
decided effect in police circles in vii.
mington was shown by the records of
the police department last Friday.
The total number of arrests for the
month was but 265, whereas in June
they totaled 581.
The intoxication cases for the past
month was thirteen, while in June they
amounted to. 1T.
The police records are taken as the
only means to judge drunkenness
here, according to the dry advocates,
and the record for the last month
proves their assertion that John Bar
~ieycorn is responsible for many crimes
committed. The only crimes that ap2-
peared to be on the increase, accord
ing to the report, was that of viola
lions of the motor vehicle laws.

Over The River
A Worthy Example of the Co-opera.

men were involved in the situation, all
of them represented in the member

with the Building Trades Council.
Efforts were made to effect a set

men, talked over the situation across
the table, and an immediate settle
ment was reached, which was agree
able to the Company, its contractors
and the workmen. The conference was
held on Monday afternoon of last week
and the men were back at their jobs
the following morning.
This worthy example of the true
cooperative spirit is one that should
be followed out generally in this dis
trict.
The policy of the DUPONT Company
in dealing with its employees has al
WAYS been based on a real human re-
lationship. Under the regime of Mr..
Pierre S. DUPONT, as president OF the
Company, labor was given c~onsidera-
ton that was its just due. The well
fare department of the Company was
utilizing every power within its com
mand to guarantee better n I'M
proved working conditions for thou
sands of employees, and the DUPONT Of
ficials backed up the department with
their full support. From time to time,
increases were made in the wages 0 1
employees, frequently without requests
on the part of the workers.. 1t ap-
pears that the policy of the Company
was Satisfied workers make better
workers."
Today, under the regime of Mr..
Irene dupont as president of the du-
Pont Company, there is being mani
tested Just as painstaking an interest
in the welfare and well-being of the
employees. Naturally the number of
workers is not as large in this after
the-war period as during the war, but
in general there is to be found the
same spirit of contentedness among
the workers. The conference plan
adopted at the dupont Dye Works, at
Deep Water Point, N. j., is conclusive
proof of the Company's desire to treat
its employees and co-workers fairly.
So it is highly pleasing to know
that the controversy that existed IN
Wilmington between the building
trades workmen and the engineering
department having charge of the cree
ton of the DUPONT building addition
was settled so rapidly and so har-
moniously.
The Labor Herald will always be
found as a staunch advocate Of modern
industrial relations-of the coming to-
gether on a basis of understanding,
for the common-good, of employers
and employees. The conference plan is
a step forward. Through the associa-
ton with each other both labor and
management not only become better
acquainted, but both learn the others
viewpoint. 1t is well to remember
that there are generally two sides to a
question, and each side may think it is
right. Through getting together
there is no harm resultant, and usu-
ally a workable understanding is
reached through which both sides
benefit.
