Several houses in this city were dec

Saturday night by some party or par
ties unknown. Ordinarily the editor
Of this paper does not believe in any,
thing that tends to the destruction or
mutilation of property but under the
conditions prevailing there is much
justification for the act. This country
has been into real war and it has cost
the people of the United States many
billions of dollars in addition to many
valiant men who have given up their
lives for the purpose of making this
old world of ours free. The action of
these people who painted the houses
was because those people had refused
to buy bonds in this Victory Loan
Drive when they should have come
across cheerfully. They have a large
debt of gratitude coming from bene-
ficent government-the best on earth
that has sheltered them and cared
for them and under it's good laws and
fine lands, given to them as home
steads, that have become comfortably
rich and in good circumstances. In
addition to this they certainly owe a
debt of gratitude to the boys who are
sleeping in Flanders field. Their duty
is plain enough. They should get be-
hind the government cheerfully and
pay the bills which have been incur
red. Many people think that now the
war is over their obligation ceases
and they quit and lay down on the job.
It is the supreme test of citizenship,
and those people who are doing this
are entitled to all the condemnation
that they are getting and more too.
If they do not want to get behind this
government when it needs help the
quicker they leave the country and
make room for better citizens the bet
ter. The Times-Record editor has no
patience and no sympathy with any
citizen who has acted like broken
reed when he or she could very easily
became a bulwark of strnegth by in
vesting in bonds literally and thus
help out the government. It is no
gift-it is the best investment that
could be made, so why show such an
ungrateful spirit.

A FAMOUS BLACK DIAMOND

The diamond is natural form of
carbon, highly valued as a precious
stone. Light diamonds have been
found in great numbers all over the
world, but black diamonds are very
rare. The largest cut white diamond
is in England. It weighs 971 carats,
or about half pound. You may
think that very remarkable. II Va

Within ten minutes after an appli
cation of Danderine you can not find a
single trace of dandruff or falling hair
and your scalp will not itch, but what
will please you most will be after a few
weeks use, when you see new hair, fine
and downy at irst-yes-but really
new hair-growing all over the scalp.
A little Danderine Immediately dou-
bles the beauty of your hair. No diff
ference how dull, faded, brittle and
scraggy, just moisten a cloth with Dan
derine and carefully draw it through
your hair, taking one small strand at a
time. The effect is amazing-your hair
will be light, fluffy and wavy and have
I'm appearance of abundance; an in
comparable lustre, softness and luxu-
rance.
Get a small bottle of Knowlton's

that it has been neglected or injured
by careless treatment-that's all-you
surely can have beautiful hair and lots
of it if you will just try a little Dan

That Middletown has good, strong
base ball club, and is putting up inter-
esting and exciting contests, cannot be
doubted after witnessing the game on
Saturday afternoon last. The managers
are determined to make the national
game here interesting and exciting and
are arranging>their schedule with the
very best and strongest teams possible.
They have good material and all they
ask is appreciation and attendance in
their efforts. Finn was at his best for
the locals and Taylor for the visitors
pitched good ball and was backed up
We'll by the felders, having only two
errors. while the locals had four, which
yielded the two runs against them.

PRESBYTERY MET IN ODESSA

The Presbytery of New Castle met
at Odessa and held its summer meeting
in Drawers Church, of which the Rev.
Edward A. McLaurey is pastor, on
Tuesday June 10th. The Rev. Charles
H. Bonner, pastor of the Hanover
Church, Wilmington, was model ator
and as clerks Dr. J. R. Milligan, of St.
Georges, and Rev. H. Framer Smith,
of Elsmere. The ministers and elders
in attendance came from Delaware and
the eastern shore of Maryland, and a
good representation was present. An
abundant and elaDorate collation. was
served at noon by the ladies in the
lecture room of the church, to which
all did ample justice, and the ladies re-
ceived a vote of thanks.
Rev. r G. Pitzen, of Arlington, N.
j., by action of Presbytery was made
pastor-elect of the Delaware Citv
Church, on salary of $1,000 per year
and manse.
AS to the Elkton case, a report of
progress was made and the matter
c)ntinued for further action.
Following the course of the General
Assembly as taken at St. Louis in Nav
last. an important resolution upholding
the action of Congress concerning war
time prohibition was passed.

an automobile ride to the "Old Draw
yers Church." which was much enjoyed.

AGRICULTURAL COMMITTEES

In compliance with resolution whicl
was adopted by the State Bankers As
s ,ciation at Newark on May l, 1919
John S., Rossell, president of the asso
citation, has appointed the following
County Agricultural Committees:
New Castle County-Mr. Daniel w
Corbit. President New Castle Count,
National Bank. Odessa. Mr.. Horace
L. Dilworth, Director Security Trust
and Safe Deposit Company, Whining
ton. R. F. D. Mr.. J. C. Truitt, Treas
urer, Farmers Trust Company, New
ark, Delaware.
Kent County-Mr. H. Nj. Buckson.
Manager. Dover Branch. Delaware
Trust Company, Dover. Mr.. Fred l..
Masten, Cashier Peoples Bank, Har.
rington. Mr.. H. NJ. Hargad,ne, Cashier
First National Bank, Frederick.
Sussex County-Mr. Ira L. Long.
Cashier, Baltimore Trust Company,
SelbyvilIe. Mr.. S. H. Messick, Director
Seaford Branch Delawar. Trust Com
pany. Bridgeville. Mr.. J. T. Lank,
Secretary, Fidelity Trust and Savings
Bank, Lewes.
President Rossell has planned for the
Agricultural Committees of each county
to hold meeting at an early date. He
has suggested that County Agricultural
Agents, the State Boys and Girls Club
LIE Ader, and a committee Of the County
Farm Bureau be called into each county
conference for the purpose OF formu-
Iating definite county-program of
work, which the bankers and the
Comfy Farm Burea can carry out to-
gether.
These suggestions are in line with a
cooperative practice that has already
been successfully used by some of the
banks of the state in backing up the
county agents and club leaders.
Last year the New Castle County Ma
tional Bank of Odessa and the Farmers
Trust Company of Newark purchased
five carloads Of purebred dairy cattle
in cooperation with the County Agent,
and distributed them among the farmers
ut cost. The Farmers Trust Company
also secured a carload of pure-bred
dairy calves for the Boys and Girls
Clubs. Several banks in each county
of the state have already helped club
members secure pure-bred pigs on easy
terms.
The Agricultural Committees will no
doubt enlarge upon these activities, and
will be prepared to make definite re-
port &C the September meeting OF the
association regarding the work accom-
p'ished during the current year, and
they will also likely submit some spe-
cific recommendations for future pro-
grams on agricultural development.
