The newspaper march of William
Randolph Hearst continues unchecked,
his latest acquisitions being in Wash
ington, d. G., and in Milwaukee; and
then, when Hearst gets through with
life's game, there will probably be a
breaking up OF the newspaper circle
into as many parts as there are news
papers, and things will settle back into
their former relations as if there had
been no Hearst at all engaged in the
handling Of them. The situation will
be much the same as when vast
estate breaks up into many parts in
the division among the heirs But in
the meantime, Hearst is making quite
sizeable figure in American Journal

As it so happened, the first prosecu-
tion by the first woman grand juror in
the town of Woodstock was against a
woman, the charge being the alleged
obtaining of money under false pre-
lenses, woman being the complainant.
The jury was composed Of mere men,
and the verdict was in favor Of the re-
spondent However, it is said the wom-
an prosecutor made nice argument in
support of her contention, and the COM
pliment was not intended as gallantry

1t is to be doubted whether the cause
of Americanism is greatly helped by
the shutting off Of the sweet music of
Fritz Kreisler, the Austrian violinst,
who is rated as one of the best, if not
the best, violinists in the world to-day.
1t is true that Kreisler served in the,
Austrian army for short time, or un-
til he was wounded; but that service
was before the United States entered
the war and before the United States
had a grievance, officially, against Aus
tria Moreover, Kreisler is not teach
ing anti-American things by his play
ing at the present time, and it seems
rather unjust to bar him from playing.

It has been about two weeks since
the heads Of the miners union declared
the strike order cancelled and ordered
the men back to work, and all that has
happened are those two weeks. The
miners may have thought their leaders
were only fooling. Then, again, they
may have taken the bits in their own
teeth But the situation reminds that
there is not always entire coordination

BETTER CATTLE IN DELAWARE

''This sale is going to mean better
dairy cattle in Delaware" said Col.
George W. Baxter in his remarks pre-
liminary to the pure bred bull calf con-
signment sale at Middletown, Tuesday,
July 20, which was held in conjunction
with the project which the Delaware
Holstein Friesian Association and the
Delaware County Farm Bureaus are
motivating, the slogan of which is "a
pure bred bull on every farm"
Col. Baxter's enthusiasm seemed to
be contagious and in period of two
hours twenty bull calves ranging from
one to nine months of age changed
hands at total of $2170, an average
price of $108. These bulls found homes
at the head of herds in practically
every community in Delaware. Mr.. J.
W. Clendaniel, of Dover, paid the
record price of 5000 for a bull consign-
ed by D. 0. Hastings, of Dover.
This sale was the first event of its
kind ever held in Delaware. The ami
mails were consigned by the farmers of
the State, and although they received a
fair price for their bulls, yet their fund
amental motive in making the consign-
ment was to replace the grade bull
The majority-of the men who bought
bulls are for the first embarking into
the pure bred cattle industry.

Ice Must Be Full Weight

Attorney General Reinhardt's Office
in Wilmington is going to see that the
practice of delivering ice short of the
weight supposed to be delivered is
stopped.
A case of delivery of short-weight
ice by driver was reported to the at
torney- generals Office on Tuesday, by
Councilman James G. Mearns, of the
Seventh ward, who had ordered SO
pound piece of ice. The small size of
the cake being delivered by the driver
for dealer aroused Mr.. Mearns' sus-
picion and he insisted on the man
weighing it in his presence. The ice
weighed only 80 pounds, it being 20
pounds shy of the amount the driver
represented. Mr.. Mearns then report
ed the incident to the attorney gener-
ais office and to the company for
whom the driver worked.
