Some Reasons Why the Farmer Should
 Keep Thanksgiving

Just now, apart from our knowl- edge of food secure, perhaps some of us feel it necessary to fall back upon the private reasons for thank fitness. Each one has some bit of personal well-being that can be brought out and rubbed up and admired just to keep our home circle happy this Thanksgiving day. Each one knows their own cause for con- tent, even where 1t is so common place as not to be distinctly visible to others. Especially this year we mustn't lose sight of the personal bright spots on account of their everyday character.
 A person was once visiting a friend whose home commanded a beautiful stretch of mountain scenery. It was, in fact. a magnificent view. 'What a wonderful outlook you have here," he remarked to his host. q am sure if lived here I should spend most of my time viewing the landscape" "Why, I never thought of 1t that way" his host replied. 'T never con- sidered 1t anything remarkable. I have simply taken 1t as a matter of course"
 Thousands of people who live in the country enjoy a treasure which is denied 10 millions of their fellowmen the blessing of good, pure, out-of- door air. fragrant in spring and sum- mer with perfume of flowers or new mown hay, and in fall and winter la- den with crisp, life-giving ozone.
 No one enjoys more blessings and treasures of this kind than the man or woman on the farm. He or she. if inclined to be of a complaining na- ture, is apt to find fault that life on the farm Is so hard and composed so largely of drudgery. Furthermore, 'far away fields are always green" and the one on the farm imagines that in the city all must be ease and contentment. These imaginings. how ever, will not stand the test of personal acquaintanceship with the life that is lived in the cities by hun dreds of thousands of people. Farm work is hard, but there are no easy berths in life.
 The average person on the farm lives better, enjoys better air to breathe, better water to drink, better food to eat, better conditions under which to work, better health than the man or woman in corresponding cir cumstances in the city.

Dover, Sept. 25.--I.ast evening, State
Detective Wharton and Constable A. j.
kingsh,Iry arrested Lloyd Rittenhouse
and Fletcher Alexander, white men, on
the farm of Frank Long, in West Dover
hundred on suspicion of being implicated
IN the theft Of An Overland auto, the
property Of William A. Prutxman, OF
Chester, Pa, which was sto len from IN
front OF the Presbyterian Church IN Chcs-
ter. last Sunday evening.
Pritzman learned of the whereabouts OF
his machine from parties living at Salrs-
bury, Md, who impaired the information
that cars were being stolen and taken to
a West Dover farm, where, on Sundays,
skilled mechanic would be employed To
change the cars $40 that they could not
be recognized IN case OF detection. Prutz-
man was gwen the further information
that his car, which he recovered today at
the Long farm, was 10 have been made
over, tomorrow, into q truck.
Il il alleged that after securing the
cars. the tags would be taken from them
and thrown down well and such changes
made in the machines that the owners
could scarcely identify them.
The two men taken into custody, now
confined in Kent county jail, claim they
know absolutely nothing of the theft of
the cars. Rittenhouse, in whose posses
sion the Prutzman car was found, claimed
TO have taken il In deal from Elvin
Campbell, for whom the authorities are
also seeking, for horse and carriage.
Alexander, who claims he is wrong

visit to the Long farm for the past few
days, being on his vacation, and expected
to return tomorrow to Wilmington, where

let, Is his own property.
The officers are making q thorough
investigation into the facts and are
looking for others for whom they have war
rants, as being implicated in the scheme.

chairman. has put the question Of men
and women in heavy registered districts

vote, with present election arrangements
squarely up to Governor Townsend II
the governor takes no action and there
are hundreds of voters who fail tn cast
their ballot on election day, because Of
inadequate accommodations the onus
in the minds 81 the Democratic leaders
will not be upon them.s
As the head Of his party in Delaware
Mr. lsaacs calls the attention Of Mr.
Townaend to the fact that in sorne dis
tricts there will he 400 and upwards Of
voters for one election board to handle
and he also makes IL quite clear that it
will I've a phyRisai impossibility for any
board to handle that number.

the present time, the committee lis advised
there are number Of election districts
Tn the State in which from seven hundred
tn one thousand men vote on election
day. With the enfranchisement Of the
women Of tho State, and with their quai-
fication for voting at the same rate at
which they registered on September lS,
il will readily be seen that the voters IN
the particular districtsshercin referred 10
viii be virtually doubled IN number
making IL necessary for single set Of
election officers 20 take the votes OF
fourteen hundred men and women or
upwards of this number. The committee,
which | have the honor 20 serve. is con-
WINGED that this is physical irnpossibility
and that even il the qualified voters
should put themselves 20 the inconven
fence Of standing in line for their turn 70

polls until their close. il would still be
impossible for all to be accommodated
"The committee feels that all qualified
voters Of the State should have the priv.
ilege of casting their votes without
unreasonable inconvenience. Hence this
action in authorizing me to communicate
with you for the purpose of presenting
the condition and for the further purpose
of pointing out the obviously imperative
necessity of providing the necessary
means by which all qualified voters may

AMERICAN AVIATOR HELD
IN BOLSHEVIK PRISON
News of Captains Cooper and
Kelley, Missing Two Months;
Latter Died of Wounds.
nv Associated Press to Every Evening

BY Associated Press to Every Evening
Warsaw, Sept 24-Peasants living in
the territory re-occupied by the Poles
are authority for the statement that Cap
tain Merton Cooper of Jacksonville, Fla,
a member of the Kosciuszko aerial squad
ron. is a prisoner in the hands of the Boil
sheviki, and that Captain Arthur
ID. Kelly of Richmond, Va, a member of
the same squadron died from wounds
after he had been shot down by the Boil
shevikli.
Both Cooper and Kelley have been miss
ing for about two months.
The peasants say that Cooper's motor
was struck by bullet during an attack
on General Budennys army aud the
aviator was forced to land The American
was rushed by horsemen of Budenny S
cavalry, but he escaped into clump of
woods where later he was surrounded and
made prisoner The majority of the
Bolsheviki, according to the peasants,
were for killing Cooper but Bolshevik
who had lived in the United States in
sisted on hearing Cooper's story. After
talking to Cooper for some time in perfect
English the Bolshevik induced his COM
rades to spare Cooper, who was taken to
Kiev
Kelly on the flight which resulted in. his
death was the observer for polish lieuten-
ant plotting a bombing plane against
Budenny's forces. Kelly's plane was
shot down and Kelly received wounds
from which he died sometime afterward.
