success on the public school.
He raped unmercifully the
trade or vocational school which ne
stated is German in origin, and
which aims to make 80 per cent OF
the school population workers and
to leave 10 per cent for the execu-
tive and administrative work Of the
country.
The private school likewise came
in for criticism except as a place
for the feeble-minded. The multi
tude of courses in the high schools
was likewise critized and the
hope expressed that there be one
course to fit a student for college
or to fit him to take his place among
the workers of the world.

Colored Students Do Good
Work in Agriculture

During the past school year the
Department Of Vocational Agri-
culture at the State College for
Colored Students has been doing
extension work in the rural schools
of Kent county. The plan Of the
work was heartily approved by
DR.. Holloway, County Superin-
tendent of Schools, The purpose
was to arouse greater interest on
the part Of the rural boys and girls
in better agriculture. AS another
means of attaining this end, the
Department gives prize of two
and one-half dollars in gold to the
boy or girl writing the best COM
position on an assigned agricul-
tural subject. Only students in the
rural schools may enter this con-
test. This year the subject assign.

When Hay Should Be Cut

Cut timothy just as the bloom is
falling. If the crop is not too
heavy and rank, cut as soon as the
dew is off, let it cure a few hours,
rake into windrows, and haul to the
barn the same day. If the crop is
rank, cut it in the afternoon; it
will wilt some during the night and
the dew will not hurt it. Next days
sun will dry it in a few hours,
when it can be raked into wind
rows; haul it to the barn in the
early afternoon.
Cut clover hay when about half
the blossoms are brown. Cut it as
soon as the dew is off in the morn
ing. AT noon shake out the punches
rank into windrows before the even
ing dew gets on it, and let it lie
until the next day. Next day shake
out the hay as soon as the dew is
off. You ought to be ready to haul
on a hot day, by eleven O'Clock, or
certainly after dinner, no matter
whether you have ten loads or
enough to haul with tractor and
two wagons. 1t spoils clover hay
to get too dry. 1t should never be

rain or dew; but little sap won't
hurt it.
The time to cut alfalfa, Judging

Simple Rules of the
Road for Motorists

A current issue of a live home
newspaper gives the following gen.
eral rules for motorists-rules
which every driver knows and
many violate. Reiteration therefore
is not amiss:
"When an automobile approach
es a horse drawn vehicle going in
the same direction the automobile
is obliged to sound warning at a
reasonable distance announcing
that he is going to pass. The driver
of the horse is obliged to draw to
the right side of the roadway, never
to the left, allowing a fair half of
the road for the car to pass. AS
soon as the warning is heard the
horse driver is supposed to draw to
his right side.
"Vehicles meeting on any street
or road are supposed to allow one
half of the roadway for the passing
vehicle.
"Vehicles meeting on any street
or road are supposed to allow one
half Of the roadway for the pass
ing vehicle.
"Automobile drivers are expect
ed to give warning when at least
fifty feet from vehicles ahead of
them going in the same direction
when they are going to pass.
"When vehicles of any kind are
left standing in town streets they
must be drawn close to the curb.
No vehicle is allowed to stand in
the middle of roadway or street.
Warning must be sounded at
all crossings; cut outs must be
closed in town limits.

Prohibition Director
Does Good Work

The force operating under Fed
eral Prohibition Director W. Trux-
ton Boyce of Stanton, has seized
approximately 1000 gallons Of in
toxicating liquor valued at about
$25, 900 during the past year.
Between 18 and 20 arrests have
been made on charges Of carrying
liquor without proper permits,
"bootlegging" or maintaining
illicit stills. The offenders have
been held for court in a majority
of cases. Several large motor trucks
and motor cars also nave been con-
fiscated.
Commenting on the results of the
first year of his work, Mr.. Boyce
recently said:
"We believe the situation in Del
aware will compare favorably with
the best anywhere in the country
under the eighteenth constitutional
amendment. Both the amendment
and the enforcement acts generally
are respected and there have been
relatively few deliberate viola
tions."
Mr.. Boyce points out that a
goodly percentage of men arrested
in Delaware have been residents of
other States. He is especially
pleased with the obedience to the
"dry' laws in New Castle county,

COWS MAKE
GOOD RECORD UNDER
DIFFICULTIES
Diamond State Association
Submits Report For
Month

With the advent of the month of
June came hot weather and flies
which has resulted in decreased
production, as will be noticed, in
both the herd and individual quail
ity lists.
Eugene Feucht and son of Elk
ton own the record cow for this
month, producing 1874 pounds of
milk and 1877 pounds of butterfat.
Her record next month will prob
ably be higher as she was not on
full feed at the time of the test.
The Hill Girt Farm ran a close Sec
ond with a pure bred Guernsey
COW producing 1880 ponds of milk
and n pounds of butterfat with a
fat test of Sc. The famous grade
Holstein cow owned by j. T. Ed
manson is living up to all establish
ed precedents when she exceeded
by several hundred pounds the
milk record for the month, produc-
ing 2037 pounds of milk containing
71.3 pounds of fat. The Hill Girt
Farm owns the record herd for the
month, producing on the average
of 736 pounds of milk and 40
pounds Of fat. AS this is a large
herd consisting of twenty-seven
cows the owner, Mr. H. G. Haskell,
is to be CONGRATULATED on this un-
usual record.
The Association fiscal year ends
July 81 and if the Association
work is to be continued without a
break it is essential that all appli-
cations for membership for the
new year be in at once. The re-
organization of the Association is
problematic at this stage. The
Association has had a most success
full year under the direction Of Mr..
Fred B. MARTENS, and if the good
work is to be continued it is essen
tial that the members assume the
responsibility of it and exert a
little effort in enrolling the old
members and perhaps securing a
few new ones.

INTENSIVE TAX

quents and Penalties

ton Of the country, there will be
conducted during the next two
months an intensive tax drive for
the collection Of delinquent sales
and other miscellaneous taxes, such
as the so-called luxury tax, the soft
drink tax, the admission tax, the
manufacturers tax, the tax on
jewelry and works Of art, and the
tax on toilet articles and proprie-
tary medicines. Reports of laxity
on the part of dealers and other
persons responsible for the return
and collection of these taxes have
reached the Bureau Of Internal
Revenue from many sources.
To remedy this condition, Com
missioner William M. Williams has
assigned to the work of investiga-
tion IT'S special revenue officers.
These men will compose flying
squadrons which will visit every
large city in the United States, CO.
operating with assistant supervisors
and field deputies. The total force
numbers 1900.
The drive will be under the i'm
mediate supervision of Collec-
tors of Internal Revenue, and is ex-
pected to result in the collection of
millions of dollars in delinquent
taxes and penalties.
information from the Sales Tax
Unit of the Bureau of Internal
Revenue is that many dealers in
soft drinks and ice cream either are
keeping no record of the amount OF
tax collections from such sales, OF
that the record is insufficient or in
correct.
Special attention will be directed
to the collection Of this tax as wei.
as to the tax on toilet articles and
proprietary medicines. Through
the failure of retailers to collect IL
full the tax of l cent for each q
cents or fraction thereof of the
amount for which toilet articles
and proprietary medicines are sold
it is estimated the government is
losing several million dollars an
nually. The tax is collected by
means Of stamps ranging from ! tt
40 cents, which the law provides

1t is the intention to conduct as
thorough and effective a campaign
as possible in such a way as tt
bring to justice willful violators
and cause no embarrassment tt
merchants and business men wht
honestly are endeavoring to com
ply with the revenue laws. Dis
covery Of evidence to show willfu
tax evasion will be followed by
prosecutions. In fragrant cases, tn
Bureau will urge the imposition O
extreme penalties. For willful re

the penalty is a fine Of not NOR

an added assessment equal to tn

A Day of Promise

Not so much for blessings in hand
as for the assurance cf better things
to come is this years Thanksgiving
Day marked. America and the
world are still in the backwash of
the war. Nations are but just
learning the worst about much that
happened in those years of stress.
Readjustment is still the compelling
torce, in industry, in politics, in
morals. Violent crime is still ram
pant. Bolshevism clings TO the sad
die in Russia. Rumblings of unrest
recur in many quarters.
But the broad gains of the year
tar outweigh the losses, and the basis
for future gains is broad and sound.
Bolshevism may last many months
as a local military despotism as an
idea, with potency to undermine gov
ernments and economic systems, it
las lost every vestige Of threat. 1t
stands so discredited to-day among
all classes everywhere that it's in
fuence is wholly salutary, a wreck
age to warn other vessels from
treacherous shore. Unless all sur
5ace signs belle the depths, 1920 is
to mark not only the crest of radical
ism but its swift recession, a wave
broken to harmlessness upon inevi-
table facts.
Here in America the processes of
adjustment are proceeding normally,
as rapidly as safety will permit, and
with every promise of clear and set
tied weather in the not distant fu-
ture. One hundred more days of
the Tumulty regime remain. They
can be passed over cheerfully and
good-naturedly in view of the four
years of order and reason that are
scheduled to succeed them. An able
and thorough job was performed by
the American voters on Election
Day. They can we'll be thankful for
the blessings thereby earned, even
though not Immediately to be en-
loyed.
Patience is still needed. Rest and
a careful invalidism after series of
major operations are still needed by
the shell-scarred old world. But
there is ample ground for devout
Thanksgiving, in that recuperation
has proceeded as rapidly as it has
and that complete restoration is no
remote dream. At least it seems
safe so assert that the patient is out
Of danger.

Mr.. Coolidge Sums Up

II doubt" says Governor Coolidge,
IF any particular mandate was
given at the last election on the uues-
ton of the League of Nations"
The Vice -President-elect speaks
candidly and sensibly, according to
his practice. No clean-cut and de-
fined issue was submitted. Mr.. Cox
danced about from one position to
another. Senator Harding. was de-
liberately non-committal with respect
to precise program. He openly
avowed that he matured no policy.
Under the circumstances no popular
mandate was possible.
But as to the objective, the policy
to be adopted by Senator Harding
was explicit. The end was not ma
tional aloofness, but participation in
the councils of mankind for the safe
guarding of peace. SO the Chicago
platform declared. So the candidate
repeatedly asserted.
The Wilson league--that is, the
league of which Article x was the
hearts dead" But the broader
obligation to substitute something
better for it persists. Senator Har-
ding has recently moved in the direc-
ton of redeeming his pledge by call
ing conference, just as he said he
would do.

Won Rintelen's Release

President Wilson's communication of
the sentence imposed on Franz Won
Rintelen, former officer of the Ger
man army, who was sent to this
country when it was at .peace to
urge treacherous war on us, raises
an interesting question.
Won Rintelen was tried three
tines and three times convicted.
First, for having conspired to sup
press legal American trade; second,
for fraudulently obtaining pass
port third, for conspiring to de-
stroy ships going from our ports to
those of the Allies by putting fire
bombs In their cargoes. There were
other even more heinous acts con-
rected with the activities of Won
Rintelen, but the foregoing were the
formal accusations. Of his guilt
there was no pretense of doubt.
What, then, was Won Rintelen?
1t is not straining the facts to say
that he was a plotter of wholesale
destruction. He was the willing agent
cf those in Berlin who openly scoffed
not only at international law but all
law. He was in the category of a
pirate. He was a guerrilla who
sought to butcher the citizens of
another land with which his country
was at peace.
And the President sees fit to re-
lease him on the bare condition that
he shall leave the United States and
give meagre $4,000 bond not to
come back!
The idea once prevailed that the
interests of civilization require that
men who become scientific outlaws
should be punished in such manner
as to deter others from displaying
similar barbarism in the future. This
idea would seem to be abandoned.
In its stead it is apparently assumed
ct Washington that such a criminal
as Won Rintelen, now that the war is
over, is entitled to amnesty as a
mere political offender.
This is not merely conformation of
personal offenses, but a practical ac-
acknowledgement Of the validity of the
German claim that war releases the
citizens of country at war from all
moral obligations. No comment on
TIE fundamental surrender such an
acknowledgment implies seems nee
essary.
New-York tribune., 1920-11-25
What Is VANDERBILT?

Whatever may be true concern
ing one Washington D. Vanderlip,
whose name is widely appearing in
the press, he is obviously a man not
nnmindful of the value of publicity.
He recalls Colonel Mulberry Sellers
II his most imaginative mood and
j. Rufus Wallingford.
General knowledge of him began
with the announcements from Mos
COW that Mr.. Vanderlip, a leading
American banker and head of a
powerful financial syndicate, had
secured from the Soviet govern
ment concession to exploit some
100000 square miles of eastern
Siberia. H. G. Wells, in one of his
articles on Russia, told of meeting
''r. Vanderlip and gives the impress
sion that he understood he was the
well known international banker Of
the same name. Lenine had deemed
his visitor of such Importance that
he had paraded the Red army before
him, had made him economic king
OF vast region. and as part of the
deal had agreed to buy $3,000,0OO.-
600 of American goods. In all re-
spects the story was such as to make
the other Mr.. Vanderlip take down
and reread Edward Everett Hale's
tale, My Double and How He In
did Me-"
The Moscow Vanderlp then re-
turned home. There was such q
person. He quickly formed contact
with the newspapers, confirmed the
story of his Golconda contract. and
spread the idea that about all busi-
ress men needed to do to get
snare of the Russian loot was to
send on their goods in his care.
In view of all this The Weekly
Review has been led to investigate
who is Vanderlip. 1t reports that
twenty years ago, when the Alaska
gold excitement was at it's height.

ed to one Vondaslarsky a sixty
year concession covering KAN
New-York tribune., 1920-11-25

chatka and northeastern Siberia
Elaborate explorations were made
on the theory that the same gold
deposits might extend to the east
err shore of Bering Sea. But
nothing but an icy waste was found,
Of about the value of northern
Greenland, and the concession has
since been dormant. Meanwhile a
rovine American prospector visited
she region and brought back a
collection Of Eskimo pictures with
which he illustrated magazine
stories of his adventures. This
prospector, it is said, bore the name
Of Washington D. Vanderlip.
Nothing yet has been done to ius
tlfy the issuance of fraud order
by the Postoffice Department, but
there is enough known to make fur
Fhcr Investigation desirable before
investing. Perhaps there are
treasures in eastern Siberia to be
mad for the picking up, but perhaps
there are not. Perhaps, out of the
loot of Russia Ienine has accumu-
lated three billion and would be
glad to use America as 'fence,"
but perhaps he has not.
But, whatever the facts, it may be
predicted that the Bolshevist-
minded will exploit the Vanderlip
story with energy and do what they
can to promote the idea that we
need only to recognize Lenine to
get vast money gains. And, of
course, those who like to be fooled
will be fooled.
