Nehemiah Cain, one of our promi-
nent citizens, had a thrilling exper-
fence while out huckleberrying with
John and Roland Sipple last week.
They went in search of the berries in
Hungry Cripple and found them in
abundance and soon filled their buck
cts, Mr.. Cain lost his friends, also
his way, and in vain effort to locate
sound in answer to his vociferous
calls, he wandered back and forth un-
til nightfall. He soon became eX-
hausted, jumping from tussock to tus-
sock and landing waist deep in mud,
dismal thoughts occupying his mind.
He said the sight of the buzzards cir
cling over his head probably awaiting
to pick his bones for their evening
meal aroused him to renew his ef-
forts to extricate himself from his
mirey position. A last supreme ef-
fort and he was free A downpour of
rain washed him and finally he found
his friend John, in a happier frame
of mind. He started home in the auto
he had left by the wayside. but alas,
his nerveless hand that drove the car
landed her in a ditch. He was forced
TO abandon the car and walk home.
From a heaping twelve-quart bucket
with which he had first started home
there remained but barely enough ber-
ries to make a pie, which he present
ed to his anxious wife with his COM
pliments.

1T HAS BEEN stated with great truthfuness that
Truth crushed the EARTH shall again" and the
publication of the results of the investigation of the State
and County systems of government in Delaware which
were made by the Bureau of Research of the Rockefeller
Foundation of New York have proven every claim which
made by the people OF Kent county that radical laws
making change in the form of county
should be made by the legislature session last winter
The members of the Senate while session permitted
themselves to get into such of mind that they
could do justice the the people, Partisan
feeling responsible for the failure the laws which
would have brought real reforms the people of Kent
county, and for lack of which they must endure the
wasteful impractical and unpopular system county
government for another four years The cry of Ripper
raised and beloved against each of the three
intended to give to the people actual economy county
government, and the political party in power and bene
fitting by the existing conditions being the Democratic
party, there word of defense uttered by
single member of that party while the other hand every
effort made assist defeat all these measures
Now the report from impartial interest has shown
that every charge which the Republicans had
lack of wisdom in county and State govern
ment in Delaware WELL absolutely and that the
people permitting the of both time and money
by their continuance Strange believe but true the
newspapers of Wilmington against the
ing of the bills last winter into laws point

I'VE therefore read with great interest headline
in one of our Wilmington contemporaries, which
fit to vehemently oppose the Kent county bills,
the following: Graft Flourishes Amid Jungle
like Web Of naices Efficiency Demands Sweeping
Changes, Experts Say Commission Plan
for Counties to Cut Out Waste and Graft" This
heading is carried to article disclosing the find
ings of Charles A. Beard and Chester c. Maxey Of
the Bureau of Municipal Research of New York,
which conducted the Delaware State Survey to in
vestigate our State and county governments, which
article will be found on the first page of this
paper. "A maze of inefhciency," is the way this
expert on government described county gov
ernments, and still of these same newspapers
which were so jealous to defeat the effort of the
majority of Kent countians to better their system
of government that they resorted to lies and chic
anery now has the audacity to out editorially
and state that 80 shocking and surprising
as the findings are; painful are the disclosures
of graft and waste, the Research Bureau uncovered
nothing in its investigation of Delaware govern
ment that has not been generally known to close
observers" Still the same newspaper, which must
have known conditions, since it claims to have
known them, editorially opposed the abolishing OF
this Jungle-like Web of Inefciency in Kent county
evidently to carry out the personal spleen OF
its owners. They were willing to sacrifice this
good government which they now pirate about be-
cause the corrective legislation not introduced
by their political henchmen. We are afraid their
beauty is only Skin deep"

RICHMOND MUST
CLEAN UP, WORKS
BOARD DECIDES
Violations of Ordinances to be
Followed by Prosecution
Property Owners Cause.
Below, left to right:

War on untidy streets, alleys and
lots, was started Thursday morning
by the board of works, following de-
cision of council Monday night that
Richmond must clean up"
Inspection Of the the whole city
made by the board Thursday, and the
publication of advertisements calling
attention to the stringent city ordin-
ances on the subject, featured the
start Of the campaign. Both cards
and newspaper publicity will be used
Complaints have been made about
housewives throwing paper in the
alleys, which is contrary to the or
dinance. Storekeepers are in the
habit Of sweeping all their trash to
the street just after the street depart
ment has swept the street. This is a
direct violation of the ordinances
, Persons must keep box for trash and
rubbish and one for garbage. The
rubbish gatherers say that half of the
trash is loose in the alleys and not
put in boxes.
Every Citizen Responsible.
Every citizen is responsible for his
own premises and must keep them
clean. Garbage receptacles must be
provided with tight fitting lid so that
the contents will be inaccessible to
dogs, cats, and other animals, so that
| water and flies can be excluded, says
the ordinances. the board calling par
! ticular attention to this feature.
The garbage receptacle which must
! be provided by every citizen, must
| be placed in a place easily accessible
| to the garbage gatherers of the city
and all wet garbage must be removed
at the cost of the persons who allow 1t
| to accumulate. Garbage and trash
| they will not interfere with travel.
Ashes, dirt, cinders, bottles, broker
glass, crockery, tin, tin cans, castings
| and other non-com bustible rubbish
may be placed in piles or heaps in
alleys, near the outer edge, or in suit
| able receptac cles on the premises.
The police department will be in
structed to pay particular attention to
the trash ordinance violations Many
persons are careless about throwing
small bits Of paper on the streets
| Trash boxes are placed on the streets
! and must be used.
One Of the many complaints regis
tered at the council meetings wa:
| that persons allowed combustble trasl
that must be put into a receptacle
put on the pile of cans, non-combus ust
| ible rubbish, etc.

BOARD OF WORKS
PROTESTS AGAINST
SALE OF TRUCK

The board of works at it's Thursday
morning session, ordered the city
clerk to write a letter to council in
reply to council complaints against
the large fire truck. The letter will
say that the board feels it would be
loss to the city if the large hook and
ladder truck should be sold, as council
voted.
Should the truck be sold and a
smaller one bought, nothing would be
gained and the city would lose money,
Chief Miller said He added that the
truck had not been any expense to
the city since it was purchased. and
a smaller truck purchase now would
cost what the large one did, he said,
and there is no place in the city that
the truck cannot go.
Chief Miller was instructed by the
board to get estimates on the cost OF
electric starters for the trucks. Miller
reported that a man who had recently
been appointed to fill a vacancy in the
fire department had not appeared and
the board appointed Harry Bradfield
a member of the department

NEW YORK, July 10.-The R-34
was going well" at a speed of 49
knots, according to three wireless mes
sages received today by the naval COM
munications office.
One of the messages flashed at 2 As

A second message received at 3
a. m. read: Speed 40 knots. Going
we'll Everything O. X"
Takes Air Last Night
The third message caught at 3.4o
a. m said the dirigible was making
such rapid progress that wireless sig
nails sent her had become unreadable.
This message read:
Signs unreadable due to rapid in
crease Of distance and speed and at

Taking the air at 11:56 o'clock last
night at Roosevelt field, Mineola, Long
Island, the R-34 passed over New York
! City, cirCled over the Times building
tower at 12:45. remaining in sight OF
dense Broadway crowd for five
! minutes before heading south over
lower Manhattan and disappeared in
an easterly direction at 1:16 a. m.
For more than hour the naval COM

Thousands see start
Announcement by Major G.. H. Scott,
! commander of the R-34 of his inten-
sions to sail over the city was made
in theatres and restaurants with the
result that thousands Of people
crowded in Broadway for glimpse
of the airship as she passed through
! the shafts of light shot skyward from
scores of searchlights. She flew quite
| low over Broadway, not being much
over 500 feet in the air and proceeding
at low speed. News that the big diri-
| gible had left Roosevelt field at Min
cola spread rapidly throughout the
greater city and while Broadway en-
enjoys the best view of the airship,
she was plainly discernible from open
spaces and the roofs of buildings
throughout the lower sections of the
city. The gigantic Sparry gyroscope
in Brooklyn and searchlights with
penetrating power kept the big gas
bag in view until she passed out of
range.
