AVOID POLITICAL PARTIES.


 Appleton, Wis, Aug. 1.1In his re- port to the annual convention of the Wisconsin State Federation of Labor Secretary-Treasurer Hand1ey urged greater activity along non-partisan political lines. My personal opinion is," he said, "that the Wisconson Fed eration of Labor should adhere to its former position insofar as indorsing any party or faction"
 The legislative committee pointed to the success of North Dakota farmers who have applied the A. F. of L. non partisan political policy by securing pledges prior to the primary elections and then vote for these candidates. The committee recommended that trade unionists in the various localities unite with farmers land agree upon man

who would not only vote for the prin- ciples for which both organizations are standing but one who would put up fight for them. After picking out a good organizer, farmer or Iaborer, who is true and tried in 1abor's cause and who will subscribe to the 1egisla- tive program of the federation, our ad- vice would be that the workers see that such a man is placed in nomination and not permit the interests to make the selection"

WILL The FARM
LANDS Be RUINED
BY TAKING SAND FROM THE BAY SHORE
BETWEEN CEDAR AND SLAUGHTER
BEACHES in SUSSEX COUNTY?
MEETING IN STATE ARMORY
IN MILFORD, TO Be HELD THIS FRIDAY
AFTERNOON SEPT. l9, TO DISCUSS
THE QUESTION PRO AND CON.

A mass meeting will be held today,
Friday, September 18th, between the
hours of 1890 and p. m, under the
direction Of United States Engineer,
in charge Of this department. This
meeting is for the purpose of discuss
ing pro and con the advisability of
removing the sand from the Delaware
Bay shore between Cedar and Slaugh-
ter Beaches in Sussex county for the
purpose of filling in about Fort Sauls-
bury and the batteries.
The land owners claim that by its
removal the shore will be lowered and
that storm tides will flow over the
beach and flood not only the marshes
but the low lying farm lands contig-
uous thereto. The land owners have
made an objection along these lines to
the removal of this shore sand, and
the meeting today is for the purpose
of hearing the land owners objections
and the theory of the engineers and
their opinion as to the results which
are supposed to follow. All persons
interested are especially invited to be
present at this meeting and express
their views and make any suggestions
for the protection of the shore. This
meeting will be held in Armory Hall,
between the hours of 1890 and 8 p. m.

STATE ROAD FROM DOVER TO
SMYRNA OPENED ON SUNDAY

The new concrete road between Do
yer and Smyrna was opened for traf-
tic on Sunday morning, September IA.
For the first time in its history the
State capital will be linked with Will
mington and the northern part of the
State with S65 days in the year high
way.
The new road, which is one of the
finest in the United States, is built
with a 16-foot concrete roadway, with
6-foOt earth shoulders, and is con-
structed in accordance with the high
standards OF the Delaware State High
way Department specifications.
Dover will no longer be isolated for
long periods in winter, and those who
considered a trip on this road in wet
weather a nightmare experience, may
now anticipate pleasurable journey,
whatever the weather or seasons of
the year.
This road is an important link in the
State highway system and has been
constructed by the State Highway De-
partment, the cost of construction be-
ing borne by T. Coleman dupont in
accordance with his offer of Septem-
ber, 1917
The State Highway has issued a bull
letin relative to the opening of the
above road, calling attention to a new
detour at Smyrna occasioned by the
washout Of the dam. Lights are being
maintained at night over the new de-
tour, but care should be observed as
it has steep grades and sharp curves. I
