RED CROSS FOURTH ROLL CALL.

The fourth Roll Call of The Amer
lean Red Gross will be held from
Nov. 11ih--25th. This is cause
which should appeal to every
citizen Of every race and creed.
To-day the Red Gross of this coun-
is doing work far more important
to the average citizen than even its
war work. Its mission during hos
tiliticS was to care for our soldiers
its mission in peace is 10 bring
good health to every one of our
citizens, to teach men and women
and children the elements Of health,
right living, and. where necessary
of real citizenship.
What aims could be higher? Is
moi the American Red Gross peace
time necessity? The members of
the Red Cross are neglccting their
duty 10 their fellow men if they
leave anything undone to insure the
continuation of this great and high
ly organized machine for the gen
eral welfare"
In addition TO the annual men,
berShip OF $1.OO there is the con-
tributing membership Of $500 and
the sustaining membership of
$1,000 One-half Of the annual
membership is retained. for use in
the county, while the other half is
sent for national uses. Out of the
$500 membership the county keeps
s4.0O and S1.OO is sent TO Division
Headquarters. Of the $1,000 men,
bcrship $500 is retained for coun-
ty work ana $500 sent to Divis-
ION headquarters.
The management cost ut National
Headquarters and for the fourteen
Divisions is less than four per cent
of the total expenditures. When

PREHISTORIC CORN.

Albert Wachenshwanz, electric
all of Chillicothe, Ohio, is growing
moundbilders' corn. Three years
ago while digging a hole for q tel
cphone pole near Il prehistoric
mound in The west end of the city,
he uncarthed clay jar of curious
design. The find was identified as
q specimen of moundbuildcrs' art
by State authorities. The jar was
sealed and several ears of corn
were found in il. Wachenschwanz
planted the corn. The grains
sprouted, and this year Wachcnsch
wanz has three rows of prehistoric
maize. The cars vary in length
from ei8hl to ten inches, and are
smaller in diameter than the or
dinary field corn. Each kernel is
incloscd in Tiny husk. The ker-
nels. when cured. attain niniy
hardness and are very sweet.

WILL GET A CHANGE.

1t is clear that the American
people wanted a change, but il is
not at all clear that they knew what
they wanted and they are even
more in the dark as to what they
VIII get. They have repudiated the
League because the leaders of the
party which won would not givc
them the Covenant to read and,
furthermore, did all they could TO
confuse the issue and to ,mislcad the
voters. We doubt if there are fifty
republican voters in GreeDbrier
VINO ever saw a copy of the Cove
nant or read Il line of it. Yet this
was the issue. The leaders no
doubt reasoned that the surest way
10 get the votes Of the people was
70 keep the Covenant. out of their
hands and then lie to them as TO
what was in il.

won the control of both the Execu-
tive and Legislative branches of the
United States Government. In the
largest vote ever pollcd in a Prcsi-
Dental contest Warren q. Harding
and Calvin Coolidge were elected
President and Vice President
Their majority in the Electoral Col
lcge will probably exceed 70 votes
above the 2G6 required TO elect.
Fairly comprehensive returns
from all parts OF the country indi-
cate the Republican Presidential
candidate received the greatest pop
ular plurality-and perhaps ma
jorIty-evcr given in Il Presidential
contest. due 10 IN increase of prob
ably 10,00O,OO0 in the total number
OF votes cast. resulting from the
lcipation Of women in Presi-
dental elections. 1t is estimated
that 2S,O0O,000 votes were cast
throughout the country.
The Harding Coolidge ticket
seems to have carried every North
ern State and on the latest reports
the Western States which in 1916
won the decision for President
Wilson. Only Arizona and New
Mexico. with three votes each, re-
main to be heard from.
The next Senate will probably
consist of fifty-seven Republicans
and thirty-ninc Democrats, with the
prospect Of an additional Republi-
can Senator from New Mexico.
YORK State was overwhelming. 1t

candidate to nominees for local
Offices. The Harding Coolidge tick
ct rolled up a plurality of I,O4i,973

ried every borough in the CITY OF
New York by the unprecedented
plurality of 372,44S.
The Republican avalanche extend

harding carrying two wards in the
City of Atlanta and two parishes
in Louisiana always solidly Demo-

The Republicans not only Won
the Presidency but both Houses of
Congress by impressive pluralitics
The latest returns available indicate
that the Republicans will Increase
their lead in the Senate from two
TO eighteen, representing gains in
Maryland, South Dakota. California

THE SIZE OF TEXAS.

Texas contains 1Gz ,934,720 acres
of land surface. OF course the pop
ulationof the world can never be
counted exactly, but 1925, 900 900
is a fair estimate. This gives an
average Of not quite Ten persons
to an acre. AT present Texas has
about AZ acres for each of its in
habitants. Not all of this land is
good. Some of it is rocky some
swampy, and some too dry for cul-
tivation.
SO that Texas can accommodate
the entire population Of the earth
allowing fewer than 10 persons to
the acres.

Study Of Vital Issues
Necessary For Women
Voters Says Miss Taft

Miss Helen Taft in a speech re-
Gently at luncheon given in her
honor in San Francisco talked to
the guests on their participation
in politics.
Interest in the elections at the
time they are held" she said,
SHOULD be supplemented by con-
stant study of vital issues, keeping
track Of the details of city, state
and national politics to afford an
intelligent preparation for the ac-
tual casting of a vote.
1--WE have nothing to gain by
criticising the men, there will be
time enough to do that when wo-
men get into the depth of politics
and understand their workings.
American women, unlike their En-
glish sisters have not been greatly
Interested in politics and we still
have much to learn. For that rea-
son, if no other, women should
make a decided stand for women
representatives in every legislative
body in the country, that they NAV
have perfect political equality"

Trustees Find Difficulty In
Securing College President

At meeting of the executive
committee of the Delaware College
trustees, held in the Hotel DUPONT,
Saturday means were again dis
cussed for filling the impending
vacancy in the presidency, caused
by the resignation of DR.. S. c.
Mitchell.
The committee anticipates
difficult task. 1t has been in touch
with the General Education Board
of the Rockefeller Foundation, but
the latter as yet has been unable
to- suggest a suitable man for the
post. The Education Board furth-
ermore has pointed out that num-
erous other men of the smaller
colleges of the country are labor
ing under similar difficulties in
finding a competent executive.
The fact that last year Delaware
College had an enrolment of more
than 700 students, including the
Women's College and the agricul-
tural and engineering schools,
makes it important that DR.. Nit
chelPs successor shall be man
of high attainment and breadth of
view to follow up the work begun
under the present administration
Another meeting of the execu-
tive committee will be held in

"Ally Yourself With A
Party" Saw Women Voters

The Illinois Republican Wo-
mems Executive Committee has
some plain truths to say to the
women voter who thinks she can
best serve her country by remain
ing outside of the party. This
committee has issued an attrac-
tive pamphlet entitled, "Why Join
Party" 1t says:
eff you want to help govern
your country you must belong to
a political party. The constitu-
ton of the United States has pro-
vided for a government that can
be administered only through poll
tical parties.
"a political party is a group of
men and women who gather about
a principle or set of principles.
Such parties are necessary because
principles are necessary to our
government. And we need organ
lied bodies of men and women
or, in other words, we need poll
tical parties-to maintain, enforce
and apply principles. Belonging
to "a political party is the same
politically as belonging to a
church is religiously. A church
is a group of people with the same
ideals and beliefs, who gather to-
gether for the purpose of working
toward a realization of their
ideals.
even though you may be a new
voter you already have political
ideals you want to see realized
You can do this only by working
with a group of people having the
same beliefs, aims and methods
that you have. 1t takes large
groups of people working together
for the successful accomplishment
of any reform. A party furnishes
the machinery for putting theories
into practice.
"A Republic if.it is to reach it'
highest purpose and possibilities
must have the concerted thinking
planning and working of it's bes
citizens. This group of citizens
working and planning togethe
constitute political party, AM
the principles and plan of tha
party are expressed in the part;
platform. A party is responsible
for carrying out it's platform an
can be called to account by it
members for failure to do this.
Before every national electio
representatives of each politics
party gather together in Nations
Convention to nominate their car
didates for President and Vic'
! President and to write the part
platform. That platform is tn
program which the party is pledt
r ed to follow until the next gener;
election.

NEW STATE LAB
ORATORY ESTAB-
LISHED AT DOVER
Will Relieve Experts at New
ark Who Formerly Con-
Quoted Much of Testing

"A new LABORATORY mas Deen
equipped in Dover, by the State
Department of Agriculture in
which to conduct the chemical and
seed testing work of the State.
Heretofore the fertilizer and
seed work has been done at the
State College at Newark. The
time which the experts of the Col
lege could devote to the Depart
ment work was limited and did not
admit the taking up of new lines
of investigation important to the
agriculture of Delaware. For ex-
ample, the use of insecticides and
fungicides is fast becoming of
prime importance and the amounts
used are constantly increasing.
In many states the inspection and
examination Of these commodities
is now regularly carried on, and
this supervision has been found
tG exert a very considerable in
fluence on the purity, proper label
ing, and honest weight of such
materials. The same thing is true
of the cattle food situation. The
states which do not conduct some
sort of regular examination of
feeding stuffs are very apt to be-
come the dumping ground for in
ferior and adulterated goods.
The examination of insecticides
and fungicides for the fruit and
vegetable growers, and of feeding
materials for the dairy and poultry
interests Of the state is quite as
important as the analysis Of fer
tilizers, and will be possible in the
new Laboratory.
The investigation of foods
paints, and other materials will,
also be taken up as time permits
In fact it is hoped to develop 6
State Laboratory to which the
people of Delaware may come fol
information and assistance regard
ing fertilizer materials, cattle ant
poultry feeds, insecticides, fungi
cides, foods, seeds, and any otheI
material which properly comes
within the province of bureau O.
chemistry.
Quarters have been secured il
the State Armory where heat, gas
electricity and water are available
and complete modern equipmen
has been installed for the work
1t is hoped that the citizens of tn
state will make free use of tn
Laboratory and cooperate to max
it success.
