Revolutionary to ranchmen operat-

through which Francisco villa is now
passing, says the Nations Business.
The ranch given him by the Mexican
government measures up in area to
the requirements of patriarchal es-

of acres. Work is to be on a
corresponding scale. The initial equip
ment in tractors, motortrucks. plows,
harness. picks, shovels and all other
old and new mechanical aids to agri-
culture is to cost about S150,000.

WORK OF HELPING
DELINQUENT CHILD
Juvenile Court Association Hears
of Work of Past and Plans \
for Next Year.

A new dentention house as the goal for
next year was proposed at the annual
meeting of the Juvenile Court Associa-
tion Friday night in the court rooms AT
Eleventh and French streets. Chief Pro-
baton Officer Paul Green, in proposing
this goal said that delinquent children
improve much more rapidly at the de-
tention house than in their unfavorable
home surroundings. Mrs Wilson, matron
of the house, said that at present high
prices it is difficult to secure enough food
TO satisfy the chidren's hunger.
The work of DR.. Francis Lee Dunham.
psychiatrist Of the court, was praised insa
paper by Mrs T.. Paul du Pont. Mrs.
du Pont spoke OF DIR. Dunham s special
qualifications as a psychlatrist, which
enable him to give physical as well as
mental examinations. Thus when he
finds that child is mentally backward,
as delinquent children often are, he can
often trace the cause to bad teeth, eyes.
digestion, or to adenoids.
Mrs du Pont showed striking results of
outdoor exercise in improving delinquent
children, praised the summer school
conducted here two years ago and said
that Fairgrounds, gardens and summer
schools have become very closely con-
nected with juvenile court work.
Judge Prickett spoke of the progress
made by the association because of its
dissatisfaction with old methods, and
suggested that corps of assistants in
recreation might be formed among women
who have volunteered to assist Mrs.

Consumers League Urges City
Markets and Abattoirs; Of
ficers Elected.

One OF the features of the meeting of
the Consumers League, held last night
at the home of Mrs. Coleman du Pont,
sos Broome street, was an address by
Miss Jessie r.. Haver, legislative repre-
sentative at Washington of the National
Consumers League. Miss Haver's topic
was "The Government and the Market
Basket"
Other proceedings of the meeting were
the reading of the annual report and the
election of officers. The following were
elected: Mrs. Coleman du Pont. president;
Mrs. Robert r. Tatnall, Mrs. William
Staniar and DR.. Charles l.. Candee, vice
presidents; Mrs. Oliver j. Teeple, Jr.,
recording secretary; Miss Helen A.
Cranston, treasurer: executive committee,
Miss Margaret III. Shearman, Mrs James
y. Ginns and Miss Winifred j. Robinson,
one year: Mrs. Robert l.. Holiday, Mrs
Lewis F.. Eliason and Mrs. J. Merrick
Horn, two years; Miss Carolyn +. Gold
ing, Miss Mary +. Mckay and Mrs.
William s. Hilles, three years.
Miss Haver in her address said that
every woman should study the various
phases OF marketing, production, selling
and distribution. War and inflated
prices have been largely responsible for
the present conditions. She urged munich
pal markets, warehouses and abattoirs
as one of the best remedies for the high
price condition, and pointed out the many
advantages of cooperative societies.
The activities of the league during the
past wear are covered i'll the annual report
submitted last night. On the subject of
education the report says that too many
children are quitting school when they
become ii years old, and with very little
rducation According to the annual re-
port of the Child Labor Inspector. 961
children between the ages of IA and 16
entered industry in Delaware in 1919.
Only l5 per cent of that number had
reached the higher grades
On the matter of boarding of sugar, the
report says:
I'm December, when complaints of
unfair practices in sale of sugar were
being made. the league offered the u. s.
district attorney, Charles Il. C,irley, CO.

operation in receiving and following up
complaints. But in spite of publicity
given to the offer, few complaints were re-
ceived."
On general commodities the report
states
''Many prices. especially for meat were
found to be higher here than in New York,
Baltimore, Newark. N. j.. or in down.
State towns But the cause for this diff
ference in retail prices was not con-
clusively proven. One claim made is that
the wholesale schedule is higher for the
Wilmington district than for other locali-
ties: another. that Wilmington meats
grade higher than those of other cities"

PATCH A CANDIDATE
FOR U. S. SENATOR
STATE ADJUTANT GENERAL
ANNOUNCES HIS CANDIDACY
FOR THE NOMINATION

BOISE, Idaho.-The announcement
here Sunday that Col. L. V. Patch, a
Payette business man, expects to seek
the nomination for United States
senator has done much toward clari-
flying the political situation in the re-
publican party.
There has been talk of Colonel
Patch's candidacy for the gubernator-
ial nomination, but statement which
he issued Sunday definitely estab-
fishes his position in the forthcoming
campaign.
Ex-Governor Frank r. Gooding has
already announced that he would
make another attempt to reach the
senate and it is expected that Cover
nor D. w. Davis will make like an
nouncement within the course of a
few days.
Colonel Patch is generally looked
upon as the ex-service mems candi-
date. He commanded the 146th Field
Artillery in France, was on the
Mexican border and for years has
been prominent with the national
