Firm Buying 1920 Crop
Asks Damages On
Quality

COLUMBUS, Nov. 15.-Asklne
damages of S28, 669.50, which the pc
tition alle~es represents the differ
ence in the actual value of the pre-
/ vailing market price at the time, re
4sulting from the peaches being de-
fective, the American Fruit Growers
Incorporated Chicago, has filed suit
here asking that this sum be award
ed them against J. H. Whatley, j. H
and T. w. Whatley and B. w. Hinton
peach growers of Reynolds, Taylor
county, with whom the foreign cor
poration alleges to have entered into
a contract on April 81, 1920, fol
"good merchantable peaches"
The petition sets forth that the
American Fruit Growers entered into
a contract for 102 car loads OF
peaches of the 1920 crop, this com.
prising "all peaches grown on trees
in the. orchards owned by the sellers.
The Dfice to be paid per bushel va
ried from 1925 to $2.75 per bushel
it is stated in the petition.
Following receipt of the fruit in
the north it was found that the
peaches would not average 81 pei
crate" The Naintiff corporation
states that the Kaverage per bushel
thew shor1I have received for the
pea .hes was $3.50 and that by the
fruit being of the dollar grade it lost
81 0 on each bushel in the 1918
bu he'll crates sent north.
it is further set forth that the
nc them firm paid 1925 into the
hands of the attendants believing the
fruit was as contracted for. and asks
for damages represented by "the diff
ference between the market value OF
good merchantable peaches and ac-
tnal value of fruit delivered by the
defendant to petitioner
The defendants in the big suit fl
ed in the United States court
are LARGE peach growers. They own
what are known as the Whatley and
Hinton orchards. The 1920 con-
tract called for the entire cron. di-
vided as fouGws: Ten cars early
Varieties" 9 cars of Carmens. 10
cars of Hilevs, 25 cars Georgia Bells
and AZ cars of Elbertas.
The plaintiff firm is Incorporated
under the laws of Delaware and is
said to be one of the largest In the
middle west cnerating for the pur-
chase of fruits. The address of the
CORPORATION is given as Chicago
The outcome of the suit will be
watched with much interest as the
~'ointiff sets forth allegations char
acterizing the fruit as defective, GO

Thus Deb continued to plead as

She had positively refused to drive
me to the Chinese restaurant. When
| insisted that l would go alone to
the place and break up AIMS party
with Van, and return the reckless

Deb had reluctantly taken her seat
beside me.
We parked our car among scores
of machines, several of which we

ever crossed the threshold of the ia

"nice," familiar to some of the men
but only few of the girls we knew,
The promise of an adventure
thrilled me and helped me to forget
my personal misery. Within the
hour, Bob had seen Ted Moore kiss
me, "the best little sister a lonely
chap could discuss his love affairs
with"
My husband had driven his car out
of our yard on a reckless curve.
Where had he gone?
I was terribly worried because Bob
drives carelessly in some of his pre-
occupied moods. His spasm of jeal-

would make me pay! l was not to

"Bob will cure like with like. One

Tax Decision Brings On
Talk OF Extra Session

ATLANTA. Nov. 15.-The pros
poets of an extra session of the leg
islature were considerably strength
ened by Tax Commissioner H. j.
Fullbright's opinion that the United
States Supreme court last Monday
rendered practically unenforceable
the tax equalization law of Georgia
by its decision in the Brooks coun-
ty case.
This opinion was based upon a
careful reading of the text of the
decision received at the state capitol
Saturday. 1t was found that decis-
ion, in effect, declares unconstitu-
tional thearbitration provisions of
the equalization law. Though it does
not make this explicit declaration,

the statewide terrorization of vot-
ers.
In making public a letter to At
torney General Palmer, asking a fed
eral investigation, the organization
asserted that sufficient evidence of
violence, fraud and illegality is at
hand, available for the department
of justice to disqualify the entire
vote of the state of Florida in the
last election"
The letter charged intimidation by
various agencies, apparently beyond
the control of the state of Florida,
and requested that Alabama, Geor-
gia and other southern states" be
included in the investigation.

The Magic Vase

An eastern legend tells of a
wonderful magic vase-known as
the vase of life-which was ever
full of a mysterious liquid. No
one could tell what this liquid
was. No chemist could analyze it
or tell what entered into it's COM
position. The marvellous thing
about it was that whatever one
dropped into it would overflow
and run down the sides of the vase.
That is, the original liquid would
not run over, but the thing which
was dropped into it would over
flow in kind and amount. The
depositor would always get out of
this magic vase exactly what he
put into it.
Life is just such a magic vase.
1t will run over to you only that
which you drop into it-nothing
more, nothing less, nothing differ
ent. If we drop in love, generosi-
ty, tolerance, magnanimity, kind
ness, helpfulness, unselfishness-
the life vase will run over to us
the same things in the same a.
mount and quality. If, on the 9TH
er hand, we put in hate, jealosuly
envy, cruelty, selfshness, grasp
ing greed, malicious gossip about
our neighbor-it will run over
with all of these black devils to
torment us and rob us Of happi-
ness and success.

GIVES PROVISIONS
OF SCHOOL CODE in
SIMPLE LANGUAGE
QUESTIONABLE Recently Issued
Clarifies Legal Phrase
ology

A new source of information on
the school code is provided in a
pamphlet just published by the
Clearing House of the Delaware
State Program, under authoriza-
tion of the State Board of Educa-
tion. The legal phraseology of the
Code is here reduced to simplicity
mad clearness by the question and
answer method. For those who
don't know the Code, this easy
method of becoming familiar with
it's provisions is now available and
relieves a demand for the Code
itself which has not been met ow-
ing to a limited number of the
printed copies.
The subject matter of the new
QUESTIONABLE is devoted wholly to
the features of the law and not to
the administration of the Code
since it was passed. Separate
chapters deal with the powers
and duties of the State and Local
Boards, with all matters relating
to teachers, to school attendance,
and to finances.
Included in the pamphlet is a
statement of the indebtedness of
Delaware schools on July 1st,
1919, and also a compilation of
the school budgets for 1919-2O for
the counties and special districts
These budgets analyze the items
of expen diture and revenue.
Copies of the School Code Cues
tionaire can be secured from the

Essentials Of Success In
Poultry Raising

Some of the common causes of
success in chicken raising are:
1.-Being a crank about cleanli-
ness, drafts, dampness, mites, lice
and prevention Of disease.
2.-Scientifc selective breeding
and culling.
3.-Proper house and yard ar
rangement, so as to minimize labor
and supply sufficient exercise,
green food, shade and facilities for
keeping the sexes and birds of
different ages separate.
4.-Acceptance of the acknowl-
edged laws of success, such as one
breed only; the best type of house !;
tested and approved system of
feeding and strict economy.
5.-An abundance of the right
kind of feed; less grain and more
egg and tissue-building elements.

What Is An Egg, Anyway?

The egg is always held in high
esteem by doctors and others who
have a definite understanding of
it's food value. The hen herself
has an exalted idea of her product
for she advertises it consistently
From a scientific standpoint the
egg is an interesting compound.
The Shell is chiefly calcium car,
Donate and makes 1919 to 11%o OF
the weight of the egg. Inside the
she'll are two membranes, the in.
ner being the thinner. These sep,
crate at the larger end, forming
the air space.
The Albumen or white forms
500 of the weight and is 14%o dry
matter-mostly protein.
The YOlk constitutes about one
third of the egg and is enclosed ir
a delicate membrane, supported
by two strands of albumen (chala

protein, 32%6 fat and 1870 ash.
The Germ measures one-eightf

are either appointed or elected.
The details of management are
often delegated to a house secre-
tary, a physical director, or a
caretaker. In few instances,
where buildings have been pre-
sented by an individual or an in
dustrial concern, control is placed
in select board nominated by
the donor and possessing power
to appoint it's successors. Town
ship and city buildings are man.
aged by the usual officials.
In the case of simpler buildings,
maintenance expenses range in
general from 5 to 10 per cent of
the initial cost of the plant, the
expenditures being chiefly for
light and heat, while in the case
of those involving larger mainte-
nance costs there are added water
rent, telephone, and salaries for a
secretary, physical director, care
taker, or librarian. Funds for
maintenance are secured through
one or several of the following
Dues, rental fees, assessments,
receipts from entertainments,
from dances, from moving pic
lures, from pool and billiards, and
in the case of publicly constructed
buildings, from the public treas
ury. ?
