FIRE DESTROYS BUILD
ING AT JEDEL PLANT

One of the buildings at the
plant of the A. Jedel Corporation
took fire on Monday night, or
early Tuesday morning. An alarm
was sent to the Aetna Hose, Hook
and Ladder Co., who were unable
to render any service there be-
cause their apparatus IS in the
shop to undergo an overhauling.
The night wathmen, Messrs.
Samuels and Battersby, however,
succeeded in putting out the fire
with the Company's own fire fight
ing apparatus. The building was
a small one and the damage is
very slight.

DELAWAREANS
APPARENTLY NOT A
THRIFTY PEOPLE

Alas for Delaware's boast Of
thriftiness! Here comes a report
from the Treasury Department at
Washington which pricks the
pretty bubble.
The report shows that of 81
States and Insular possessions
Delaware stands 80 in the mum.
ber of bank deposit accounts.
The statement shows that BY
states, on May "a, 1920, Wyoming
stood first in the number of &C.
counts in proportion to population
in all nationals banks, with 394 de.
positors per 1000 of population
Montana was next with 349. The
twelve states whose national bank
reported the next larges. number
of deposit accounts in proportion
to population were in the order
named: Idaho, 293; PENNSYLVANIA
2S9; Colorado, $50; Oregon, 275
Minnesota, 271; Iowa, 262; Vir.
ginia, 259; Vermont, 255; Cali.
fornia, 24S; South Dakota 24;
Maine, 239; Texas, 236.
July l, of this year, there were
19 national banks in operation in
Delaware, with a total of 10000
deposit accounts, and 5000 were
time deposit accounts. The popu.
lation, estimated July /, 1919, was
21S,722, making the number of de.
posit accounts for each 1000 Of
population but 1873.

too long, brought forth luminous
shout, Keep right on, we want to
hear you."
Professor Richardson urged the
farmers to organize for their own
protection, declaring that this was
the only profession which did not
fix the value of it's labors but was
willing to accpet the value put
upon it by others.
He scored as criminal the atti-
tude of the farmer who was un-
willing to give to his boys and
girls the same educational op-
portunities as the city boy and
girl enjoys, and of any one who is
willing to accept the value, put
the country boy and girl.
The attitude of the farmers
present on this all important ques-
ton was evidenced by the ap-
plause which greeted this state
ment.
He drew forth much laughter
and applause by his plea for bet
ter treatment of farm wives by
their husbands and happier condi-
tions in the farm home.
The biggest problem of the
rural communities today would
be solved, he declared, if the
splendid country boys and girls
could be induced to remain on the
farm; If they could be made tc
see that it takes infinitely more
resourcefulness, more brains anc
industry to become a good farmer
than to engage in almost any
other occupation.
Better social conditions, better
conditions in the homes, and {
better understanding between
parents and children, were some
of the suggested means of bring
ing about this ideal situation.
At the close of his speech many
of his hearers expressed desire
to have Professor Richardson ad
dress community meetings during
the winter.

MANY DESCENDANTS
OF JOHN ALDEN HERE
Pageant Discloses Interesting
Genealogical Facts

The circumstance of having in
the pageant last week for the
character of Priscilla, a lineal
descendant of John Alden and
Priscilla, the Puritan Maiden,
brought to light the fact that in
this vicinity are many who are in
direct line of descent.
Practically all Of these are de-
scended from Ebenezer and Eliza
beth Ames Alden who came from
North Middleboro, Mass, and set
tied in Chester county, Pennsyl-
vania late in the 18th century.
They later removed to Appleton,
Maryland, where he died in 1855.
His wife, Elizabeth Ames, was
a native of Bridgewater, Massa-
chusetts.
Both are buried in London
Tract Church Yard, Chester coun-
ty, Pa. They had 10 children who
settled in the vicinity.
A history of the Alden family
compiled by Ebenezer Alden, of
Brockton, Massachusetts,, and
Henry Shaw of Beachmont traces
the posterity of Polly and Eben-
ezer Alden, sixth in descent from
John Alden the Pilgrim. Ebenezer
Alden was born in marlborough,
Massachusetts,, in February, 1743
The authors trace the line to
1908 and have made a remarkably
accurate record. A review of the
history of John Alden, the Pill
grim, is given in the predatory
remarks. President John Adams
who descended from him through
Ruth Alden, daughter of John and
Priscilla, states that he was the
first STRIPPING to land on Plymouth
Rock. He was the last to die OF
| those who signed the civil com.
pact which began in America
government for the people, by the
people. He is thus the personal
representative of the beginning
and the end of the Pilgrim
colonization.
Hired as cooper at Southamp
ton, to keep in order the hoops or
the water casks, he was free to &c
or stay when the Journey was
ended but he stayed and married
In little more than 20 years
Alden was one of seven who wrote

was Deputy in the Court of the
Colony or assistant to the Gov
ernor, who thus mentions him.
The worth of the man is proved by
the fact that in seven years he
had risen to a position next to the
Governor in rank and power.
Much more pleasing" the his
torians state, sis the knowledge
that in an age when good men and
even mild men did, and verify
thought they ought to DO, acts
that every one now condemns,
there is no record of our ancestor
as prosecutor, or as having any
part in the awful delusion that
darkened the closing years of his
century"
In the vicinity of Newark, the
family of Joseph Brown, through
the mother, Sarah A. Collins, is
of the ninth generation. There
are three children, Marie Fore
man, Sarah Casho, and Joseph
Collins.
The Casho family, descendants
of William Thomas Casho who
married Ella Lucinda Collins,
granddaughter of Silas H. and
Ruth Alden Watson, are through
this marriage lineal descendants
in the ninth generation. Jacob
Blair, Olivia Hannah, and JOS
ephine are children of this gen

Ruth Ann Collins, a sister of
Mrs. Casho, married Clinton Nc
Kinsey. One child, Greta Nc
Kinsey, was born of this marriage
The descendants of Ruth Ann
Alden, who married Silas H. Wat
son at Appleton, Nd, are numer-
Gus in northern New Castle coun-
ty and in Cecil county, Maryland
since ten children were born OF
this marriage, and eight children
to their daughter, Hannah Ann
who married Blair M. Collins, the
father of Mrs. Joseph Brown.
The family of Mary L. Schell
ender are lineal descendants Of
Thomas Garrett, who married
Elizabeth Alden of the seventh
generation, daughter of Ebenzel
and Elizabeth Ames Alden, who
were the first of the family tt
settle in this locality. Misses M
Katharine, Florence L. and Heller
L. Steel are therefore descendant:
of the tenth generation.

afternoon program of speechmak-
ing was given from the rear porch
of the Experimental Farm resi-
dence. S. H. Derby of Woodside,
an experienced fruit grower, pre-
sided and in his usual happy man
ner introduced the speakers of the
afternoon.
John H. Hankinson, OF New
Jersey, was the first speaker. He
reviewed the stupendous task
performed by the farmers of the
country during the war and dwelt
upon the necessity for organlza
tion. He presented the detailed
PROGRAM of the National Fedora
tion Of Farm Bureaus, and urged
the farmers to combine on the
Farm Bureau plan which provides
for an organization with an ex-
ecutive committee to look after
the farmers interests and sub
committees to look after partic-
ular branches of the work.
Dean C. A. McCue reviewed the
vicissitudes of the Experiment
Station and the farm during the
war period and told how the or
ganization of the staff had been
demoralized by calls to the serv-
ice, designations and other causes.
Affairs have now become stabiliz-
ed, he declared, and the station is
ready to serve the farmes better
than ever before.
He told in detail the facilities
which the College has to aid in
solving farm problems and urged
them to use these facilities freely.
He explained the projects now
under way and the difficulties ex-
perienced in carrying these to a
successful conclusion owing to
the changes made in the person
mel of the staff and the incon-
venience of taking up work left
unfinished by others. He explain
ed the details of the work with the
disabled soldiers of the Rehabili-
tation Unit and stated that there
are now enrolled 62 men with an
additional staff of instructors. At
tention was called to the gardens
maintained by these men and to
the poultry plant made possible
by the Federal government which
finances the entire scheme.
Recent additions to the Expert
ment Station staff, Professor
Schuster of the agronomy de.
partment, Professor Detien of the
horticultural staff and Lester Tarl
of the chemistry department, were
introduced to the assembled
guests and spoke briefly of the
work under way in their respec
tive departments.

RECORD ATTEND
ANCE AT FARMERS
DAY EXERCISES
Hardy Crop of Summer Poll
ticians Notable Feature
of the Occasion


In point of attendance, interest
and organization, the annual
Farmers Day outing last Thurs
day was one of the most success
full ever held at the Experimental
Farm. More than 1000 farmers
from this and adjoining states
were in attendance, viewed with
interest the experimental work
with crops, the demonstration
work with the Fordson tractors,
and inspected the cattle, hogs,
chickens and orchard projects.
Large placards explanatory of
every experiment under way, made
it easy for the visitors to under
stand what is being done at the
farm. Adjoining the driveway,
for example, were a number of
plots of corn showing the use of
the kinds of fertilizer commonly
used and a contiguous plot a
stand on ground where no ferti-
lizer was used. Each plot was
plainly marked so that an inter
ested spectator could see at
glance what fertilizer would pro-
duce the best crop on that par
ticular soil. Other experimental
projects were marked in the same
way, and attracted the attention
of many of the visitors.
Women folk and many of the
men visited the poultry plant
which is maintained for the Re-
habilitation Division and which,
Dean McCue explained, will grow
as the work with these soldiers
advances.
Many of the visitors came in
the morning and brought a basket
lunch which was augmented by
hot coffee served free by the Col
lege, under the direction of Miss
Agnes P. Medill, county club
leader, T. T. Martin, State leader
of Boys and Girls Clubs, and
others of the Extension Service
staff.
The majority of those present
came from Kent and Sussex coun-
ties, the Farm Bureaus in those
communities having large repre-
sentations here. Lester W. Tarr
acted as master of ceremonies and
looked after the matter of parking
the machines. There were during
the afternoon more than 200 park
ed on the spacious lawn in front
of the farm house and a number
of horse-drawn vehicles in the
rear of the horse stables.
Politicians Get In Experimental
Work
While luncheon was enjoyed the
farmers had an opportunity to
view without visible effort an un-
usually hardy crop of summer
politicians, who fitted about from
group to group distributing genial
smiles, honeyed words and cordial
hand shakes to the farmers, ice
cream cones to the children, and
real sure-enough plates of ice
cream with shiny tin spoons to
the wives and daughters. In the
case of the latter, who in gay
badinage would remind the aspir.
ants for votes, that the men folk
in legislative session were not sc
generous nor thoughtful, the willy
ones would declare, with the as
surance of those who know "al,
of the inside stuff" that undoubt
edly, women would have the vote
in November. A few of the ole
school with lamentable lack OF
finesse or commendable honesty
according to the point of view
openly asked the fair ones to use
their influence with fathers, bro.
theirs, sweethearts, to vote for the
only logical candidate.

that taxes may be greatly reduced in-

Il would issue new bonds refund-
ing government obligations over q

Wood. Il would have this include
not only the Liberty bonds but the
short term treasury certificates Of in.
d~ebtedness and the Victory notes. The
short term. certificates are making
lots of trouble in the banks and have
helped TO cause a depreciation in the
value OF Liberty bonds. I believe the
situation will be helped by refunding
all these obligations over a long Pc

should help to bear the load Of wal

There were $1,000 government en-

One Of the >prizes brought back 10

Assyrian prism chronicling the de-

King had carried a host against Jeru-
salem and sorely troubled Hezekiah,
king of Judah. 1t is related in the
Book of Isaiah that Hezekiah sent. for
the prophet Isaiah, that Isaiah
prophesiad that Sennacharib would
