fiocks of so hens or more. The awards
are to be based on the egg yields. net
profits and the general care and man
agement of the flock.
In awarding the prizes large hocks
will be given consideration over small
hocks. A flock of 100 hens making
100 points will be rated the same as
flock Of 200 hens making SO points, or
300 hens making 81 points. and so on
up to 1000 hens making 80 points.
All farmers are invited to enter the
contest. Poultry keeping is one of
the most important branches of agri-
culture in Delaware. A competent
poultry man will visit the contestants
from time to time and will take care
full note of the conditions of the
hocks, and their surroundings and will
make suggestions of how the manage
ment may be improved.
1t is necessary for the contestants
to make a careful inventory of the
fowls that are on the place, stating
breed and value at the beginning of
the contest, and an equal careful in
ventory at the end of six months and
again at the end of the year. Ac-
counts should be kept so that the
actual profits are known at the end
of the year. On a scale Of 100 points,
profits will count 80 points; manage
ment, including arrangement and san
itary condition of the houses, care of
the flock and feeding, will count 15
points; breeding will count points.
This may seem a small number of
points for breeding but it is believed
that the breeding will show in the
profits

DIR. ODELL MAKES PLEA
FOR RURAL SCHOOLS

The children of Delaware are en-
titled to as good an education as are
those of any director of the Service
Citizens of Delaware, speaking at the
monthly meeting of the Social Ser
vice Club in Wilmington last Tuesday.
He made a special plea for the rural
schools of the state and said the pur-
pose of the educational department of
the state should be to give the child
even in the most remote districts the
same opportunity to get a sound edu-
cation as the child in the large cities.
The shortage of teachers and the lack
of proper supervision and direction
were stressed particularly. He said
there is a shortage of 10000 teachers
in the country and thousands OF
school are closed or running on short
terms. In Delaware alone there are
10 teachers inadequately equipped
through no fault of their own.
Consolidated schools would go a
long way to relieve the lonliness of
the country school teachers and inn
prove the work of the children. No
more helpful as that would be could
solve the problem. 1t would be a grave
mistake to return to the old district
custom. Dr. Odell complimented the
State Board of Education and told
how Pierre S. du Pont gave days from
morning to night to the work of the
board, putting aside his private busi-
ness to devote his time to the educa-
tional problems of the state.
Discussing the question of taxation,
DR.. Odell said he was convinced that
sources of revenue other than real es-
tate, would have to be secured to pro-
vide money for educational purposes.
He mentioned three sources, local tax
alton, appropriations from the State
and from the federal government and
he showed how all three elements are
directly concerned in the education
of the young, for the purpose is to
have good citizens.
Alluding to the labors of the Service
Citizens in the educational field, he
noted this work was always subor-
dinated to that of the State authori-
ties and in cooperation with them,
filling in gaps, making experiments,
and Strengthening the forces that di-
rect educational matters. He recall
ed how the Service Citizens stepped
into the breach and made possible i'm
for teachers to be trained
at the Women's College at Newark.
Another instance, he stated, was
for the teaching of certain
subjects required by the Legislature,
though the Legislature had overlook /
ed financial revisions for such in

LEM PRICE, ESCAPED
MURDERER, CAPTURED
NEGRO WHO WALKED OUT OF NEW CAS-
TIE COUNTY WORKH0USE ARREST
ED In THE SOUTH.
ALABAMA OFFICERS ALERT
BIRMINGHAM POLICE COMPARE FINGER
PRINTS AND SECURE CONFESSION
FROM PRICE TO BE HANGED.

After successfully eluding the drag
net set for him December 29th of last
year, when he walked out of the New
Castle County Workhouse, Lem Price.
condemned murderer, was arrested
early Monday morning by the police
in Birmingham, Alabama. Following
his arrest the negro gave the name
of Richard Harris" but when con-
fronted With the fact that his finger
prints tailed with those of Lem Price,
he readily confessed that he was the
man wanted by the Delaware author
tiles. Following receipt of informa-
tion telling of Prices capture, Chief
of Police Black, and Chief of Detec-
tives Benson, of Wilmington depart
ed for the Southern city to bring back
the prisoner. Price was arrested in
the south for having entered a cloth
ing store and stolen quantity of
clothing.
Price, since his arrest, has told
where he went following his escape
from the workhouse.
While posses secured the country
side in the vicinity of Wilmington,
following clues into Pennsylvania and
Maryland, Price went to Baltimore,
and, undetected, walked the streets of
that city until he secured employment
as a dock-worker. Believing he saw
an opportunity to get away from pur-
suit in this country, he sailed for
France on a cattle boat, intending to
desert the vessel there.
On arrival at Bordeaux so close a
watch was kept on all the ships
help the negro declares, he was un-
able to escape and was forced to re-
turn to the United States. Reaching
this country he went to Washington
City, and secured employment as
chauffeur with a private family. Later
he drove a taxicab in the Capital
City.
firing of Washington. and no long
er fearing the seemingly futile hunt
for him, Price went to Richmond, Va.
While working at the Chesapeake and
Ohio Railroad warehouse in that city
he was arrested for the theft of an
automobile. After hearing and trial
the prisoner was sentenced to six
months hard labor, and according to
his version, the police in that city
never questioned his identity nor
doubted the authenticity of the alias
he used Speaking about this, the
prisoner laughed at the Richmond Of
ficials losing the $500 in rewards Of
fered for his recapture. He later es-
capped.
The condemned man was hazy
about his escape from the Virginia
sneeringly remarking
it was Just as easy as getting away
in Delaware"
After his escape from the Virginia
he went to Birmingham,
where he stole the clothes which la
ter lead to his arrest. 1t will be nee
essary for the prisoner to again be |
brought before Court of Oyer and Ter
miner, where the formality of present |
ing the evidence against him will be /
made. He will then be re-sentenced /
TO hang. Since his escape the man has 4
been periodically reprieyed, so that /
the only thing needed now is the re-
sentence to complete the verdict of /
the courts that he shall hang

WHOLE STATE BUSY
IN RED CROSS DRIVE
RURAL NEW CASTLE, KENT AND SUSSEX
COTNTIES ARE KEEN IN THE ROLL
CALL WORK NOW ON.
HARDING SPURS THE EFFORT
HE SAYS THE ORGANIZATION SHOULD
NOT LOSE ITS EFFICIENCY; SENDS
BEST WISHES FOR SUCCESS.

Reports from the rural hundreds
of New Castle county and from Kent
and Sussex counties indicate the
Fourth Red Cross Roll Call, which
began Thursday, will be the most en-
thusiastic campaign this great charity
has made in Delaware since the war
ended
For Kent and Sussex counties,
DR.. G. Layton Grier has informed
Henry p. Scott, chairman for the Roll
Call in Delaware, that he would be
surprised when the final returns came
from the lower Delaware counties.
I'VE shall have more workers So
liciting for membership, and we ex-
pect to enroll more names this year,
than for the last two years" DR..
Grier said. There is more enthusi-
asm among the workers and they
give promise of doing more effective
work than last year" Supplies were
sent to the lower counties from Phil
adelphia, but Tuesday DR.. Grier tel
ephoned to Wilmington for additional
quantities In such an emergency
the Red Cross Motor Corps is doing
great work, for without supplies the
workers would be helpless.
Message from Harding
Chairman Scott received a message
from President-elect Harding. in
which the Senator urged the Delaware
chairman to do his utmost to bring
about a successful finish to the cam
Daign. He said:
IF in all the world there is an or
ganization more entitled to be regard
ed as doing good universally, and do
ing nothing else at any time or any
place. l do not know what it may be.
1T would be peculiarly a misfor-
tune if the Red Cross, with its mag
nifcent organization and splendid
purpose of useful achievement, should
lose any measure of its efficiency be-
cause the special interest and enthus-
iasm of wartime has ceased. Your or
ganization has been built to serve hu-
manity, and humanity needs its SER
vice in peace just as it did in war.
"My wishes for all success go out
to you.
WARREN C. HARDING"
