RIFLE TEAM
MAKES GOOD IN
NATIONAL MATCHES
Local Representatives Well
Pleased With the Trip

The Delaware State Rife team has
lived up to all expectations and put
the Diamond State on the map again
by taking third place in Class c of the
National Team Match, and by placing
Fred Manion among the medal win
ners of the national individual match.
Manion has performed consistently all
through the matches, winning places
in practically all of the important in
dividual matches and his final attempt
in the national individual match elm
ches his seat among the elite of the
rife shooting fraternity.
One, half of the Delaware team were
total strangers to the other half when
the boys left for Camp Perry the first
of this month, so the team work and
shooting ability that they have shown
by landing third place in their class,
at the national matches, is particular
ly noteworthy.
In the national team match riflemen
from every State in the union, from
the regiments of the regular army,
from the marines, from the navy,
from the r. o. T. C.'s and from the
military schools and colleges, in addi-
tion to the State civilian teams, total
ing over 1000 of the picked marks
men of the country, battled for two
days at 200, 600 and 1000 yards, and
it was not until the evening of the
second day that the smoke cleared
enough for Delaware to be perceived
in third place.
No detailed scores have been re-
ceived, but the boys themselves are ex-
pected Sunday or Monday, when the
whole story will be told from Rock
land to Dover, for there are boys on
the team from all over the State.

HOG CHOLERA
SPREADING RAPIDLY

Reports from every county in
the State indicate that hog cholera
is on the increase and is spread
ing rapidly. Areas of infection
now exist at Georgetown, Bridge
vile, Lewes and several other sec
tions, of Sussex county. Kent
county has infections near FELTON,,
Dover and Smyrna. New Castle
county veterinarians report chol-
era at Middletown. Vaccination
before the hogs contract the dis
ease will positively protect against
cholera and no one need take the
risk of losing their hogs under
the present circumstances when
the State is furnishing free serum
the loss of one hog will more
than pay for the veterinarians
fee.
The administration of serum to
hogs while it protects them
against cholera does not in any
way injure the meat as the MAJ
terial used is not a drug or medi
cine but pure, clean blood from a
healthy hog containing cholera
protective qualities.
The Federal Government and
the State Live Stock Sanitary
Board are prepared to assist any
community in controlling cholera
and checking it's spread. Farmers
are requested to report sick swine
of their own or neighbors. TIE law
requires dead hogs to be buried
or burned and the Board will en-
force this law in every case re-
reported.

ISLANDERS SHOULD
BE RESENTED TUESDAY

The democrats in nation, state
and county, in desperate effort to
win victory, are resorting TO shame
less and outrageous lies. They
have concocted out of whole cloth
the most dishonorable SANDERS
against republican candidates all
the way from the top TO the bottom
of the ticket. Voters who take any
stock in these Iast-moment canards
and foul ISLANDERS make the mistake
of their lives.
The democratic leaders have re-
sorted during the entire campaign
TO the nastiest personalities imagin-
able. They have stopped to dis
graceful tactics, and we believe the
American people at the polls tomor-
row will show their resentment at
this type of politics and that the
democratic party, from the head of
the ticket down, will be a sorry
loser therefor. 1t is an insult to
the intelligence of the voter, and
especially the woman voter, to
think that they would believe such
disgracefuI SANDERS as have been
bruited about concerning Senator
Harding by democrats from the
time of his nomination to the pres
