KEEP THE GARDEN CLEAN
BURN OR COMPOST REFUSE

When garden crops are harvested
the vines, stalks, and other plant re-
mains should be cleaned up, the Unit
ed States Department of Agriculture
points out. Good gardeners who take
pride in the appearance of their gar
dens remove such trash, as, if allow
ed to remain, it harbors insects and
diseases liable to attack next years
crops. Plant remains from vegetable
crops should not be composted for
use on the same crops next year, but
may be burned and the ashes left on
the soil or used on other land devot-
ed to different crops.
Where a sufficient area is available
so that part can be devoted to soil
improving crops each year, these
should be put in as the vegetable
crops are harvested. Crimson clover
is an excellent soil improver, but can
not be grown in all sections. Winter
oats, barley, rye, vetch, and combina-
tions of these are good. Where the
same area is used for the garden year
after year a fall application of man.
ure is very desirable. If manure can
not be secured, it may pay to SOW the
garden to one of the soil-improving
crops. In many sections there is time
between late fall and early spring
vegetables for a good growth of these
crops.

DUPONT DONATES
$4,000 TO SCHOOL
Refurnishes and RenOvates Del
aware State College for
Negroes, Near Dover
A SEWERAGE SYSTEM INSTALLED
Improves Buildings and Places Insti
tuition on Highly Sanitary Basis

Through a donation of $4,000 made
by Pierre S. du Pont the Delaware
State College for negroes, near Dover,
is being furnished and the buildings
rendered safe and sanitary by the
Delaware School Auxiliary Associa-
ton, which will administer the funds
given by Mr.. du POnt.
This news was contained in an an
nouncement made by DR.. Joseph H.
Odell, president of the auxiliary. AT
ter describing the work of putting the
school building into more sanitary
condition, the announcement says:
with this preliminary work out of
the way, Mr.. P. S. du POnt has agreed
to refurnish the buildings through
the Delaware School Auxiliary Asso-
citation and he is presenting as his
personal gift to the Dover College
about 100 beds, 280 sheets, 200 pillows
with pillow cases, mattresses, bed
pads, blankets, tables, dressers,
chairs; a new eight-foot cooking range
for the kitchen; a pianola and graph
ophone; comfortable chairs for the
sitting room and a large assortment
of cooking utensils.
"Mr. du Points gift in value will ap-
proximate $4,000 and will put the
Colored College into good condition
for the accommodation and comfort of
it's students"
In describing the sanitary work
done, Doctor Odell said:
at was the expressed wish OF
Pierre S. du Pont in making one OF
his supplementary deeds of trust to
the Delaware School Auxiliary Asso-
citation that something should be- done
to put the State College for Colored
Students in safe and sanitary con-
dition. A very complete study was
made of the situation by the Delaware
Safety Councils engineers, and GER
tain recommendations were made to
the Delaware School Auxiliary Asso-
citation.
"The most urgent work was to put
the buildings in sanitary condition.
The Delaware School Auxiliary Asso-
citation has already installed a sew
age system that will connect with all
the buildings and which runs out to
disposal plant. This will take care
of all sanitation for many years TO
come and anticipates the future
growth of the college. Also the Dela-
ware School Auxiliary Association
has built an addition to the girls dor
mitory, put in bathrooms, toilets ana
washbowls, which were entirely ap-
sent heretofore. Also bathrooms, toll
cts and washbowls are being installed
in the main building and in the boys
dormitOry.
"The trustees of the college, which
is state institution, would have done
all this themselves had the money
been available. A new water supply
with well and tank and connected
with all buildings is being installed
by the Delaware School Auxiliary AS
sociation, and the rooms of the various
buildings are being replastered.

WILL BOOST HOME PAPERS
Week of November ZIP Set for Ma.
tIon-Wlde EndeaVor.

"Subscribe to your home town pa
per-"
This is the slogan Of a new nation
wide movement backed by the Ma
tional Editorial Association and other
agencies.
The movement has back of it far
more than a selfish desire on the part
Of newspapers to acquire increased
circulation, for it is, in effect, a step
toward the perfect unifcation OF
America by the strengthening Of ties
that bind everyone to his native SOIL
The campaign is, moreover, an ex-
cellent opportunity to boost the home
town. The men and women who were
born and reared here have, some of
them, been away for many years and
many important changes have taken
place-changes in which they would
be greatly interested. It is more often
the case than not that private CORE
spondence OverloOks these changes
however carefully one might attempt
to write "the news" in a letter.
The newspaper, on the other hand
prints all the items Of interest, large
and small, and is the ideal medium
through which to keep in touch with
in the old home town.

4 TOWN PAPER WEEK
w y

The week of November to IL has
been designated as the "Old Home
Town Paper Week.; a week for the
country paper to do something for it.
self and ask the community to do
likewise. The local paper in season
and out boosts for every project which
has for it's purpose the building up of
the home community. 1t gives space
freely and without stint to every good
cause. This Hometown Paper
Week" is designated as a time for all
the papers of the country to work CO.
Operatively in boosting their circu-
latiOns. This is not a selfish project
as it may seem. Local business men
are vitally interested and can help
themselves by helping the hometown
paper. Let the publisher put this
project right up to the advertisers.
Years ago the writer was interest
ed with a general merchandise dealer
in small country print shop. The
merchant said, "The more subscribers
for the local paper, the more people
to read my ad." AS a result he got
busy and every time a new face ap-
peared in his store, he would ask if
they took the hometown paper If
not, he would set forth it's good points
and offer to take their subscription.
The result was that in less than three
months this one merchant had turned
in over one hundred new subscribers.
Just think what could be accom-
plished if every merchant in a COM
munity would boost just for a single
week for the hometown paper. They
could add hundreds of subscribers,
thus enlarging the circle of readers
interested in the goods which he Of
fers for sale every week and which
are advertised locally. There are
many ways in which the hometown
paper can be boosted. If you have
some plan, tell us about it so that it
can be used in making this first
Hometown Paper Week." November
to II, big success. Tens of thous-
ands of new readers for the country
press means more foreign advertising
for the country press.
Get into the game! Do your part!

THE AMERICAN SYSTEM

The debates in the two Houses OF
Congress over the tariff and internal
tax bills demonstrate anew the wis
dom of those who framed our Gov
ernment. Each measure is being an
alyzied, criticized, and amended in a
way that assures us that the final
product will be a compromise most
nearly meeting the wishes of the
greatest number of our people. In no
other national assembly in the world
do the chosen representatives Of the
people have such complete control ov-
er the making of law.

MAKING GOOD PROGRESS

A good illustration of the progress
that is being made in educational af-
fairs in Kent county lies in the an
nouncement that a contract is to be
awarded on October 10, by the Della
ware School Auxiliary Association,
for an addition to the Caesar Rod
ney School of Camden and Wyoming
When this fine school building was
erected, but a few years ago, it was
believed by many that it would be suf-
ficient to care for the needs of that
school district for many years to
come. Yet already the need of an ad-
dition is imperative. The good work
that has been accomplished by Caes-
ar Rodney School, and its rapid de-
velopment, should be decisive ans
wer to every argument advanced
against consolidated schools.-State

Every -Four Corners has its Home

and girls who have wandered from the
Township Center cannot get back to
enjoy the loved surroundings. But all
can subscribe to the old home town

What joy to run over the school
promotions and find that the tots OF
a few years ago are moving higher
and higher in scholastic circles and
eventually blossom forth as the sweet
girl graduates" or the clean strong
boys discarding knickers.

codger open up his home paper-it is
the first thing he picks up out of his
bunch of mail-and what can he find
there to interest him? Angus Nc

THE LEAGUE AND THE
CONFERENCE

There is a vast difference between
the league of nations and the con-
ference that assemblies in Washing
ton on Armistice Day. Many former
adherents of President Wilson make
sarcastic reference to President Har-
ding's Association of nations" and
seek to draw a parallel between it
and Mr.. Wilson's league. But they
are fundamentally different. Every
member of the league is controlled
by majority votes of the assembly or
unanimous votes of the council ac-
cOrding to the sort of question under
discussion. If minority member dis
agrees with the dictum of it's asso-
ciates, it is to be brought into sub
mission by economic and military
pressure. The armaments conference,
on the other hand is a free and open
debate on Pacific problems and the
extent to which armaments should be
reduced. No member of the confer
ence obligates itself to be bound by
what the others may do, and for that
very reason there is added hope that
definite results will be accomplished.
In the league there is always present
the element of antagonism between
factions and between individual mem
bers, which so far has prevented any
concerted action and will always rem
der it impotent. In the Washington ar
maments conference there is simply
the mutual desire to arrive at under
standings, which are far more likely
to be reached and kept because the
threat of force is entirely lacking.

CLOGGED BLOOD
WITHERS THE BODY
WORKERS SICK AND WEAK FROM
EXERTION TAKE GUIDES PEPTO-
MANGAN.

Men and women who toll, either
physically or mentally, use up ener-
gy. When they overwork they use up
more energy, and sometimes the blood
gets in rundown condition. With
out rest the blood cannot get back to
normal, so that it becomes clogged
with waste matter from over-eXer-
tion.
The clogged blood virtually withers
the body. The strained looks on pale
faces, the thin, bloodless arms, the
sunken cheeks and necks, the dead
tired feeling, are the results Of stale
blood depriVing the system OF life
giving oxygen.
Workers go to the drug store and
get Guides Pepto-Mangan when they
feel weak and run down. They take it
in either the liquid or the tablet form.
That makes the blood rich and red
and drives out the poisons. Life-giv-
ing oxygen, carried by the little red
cells, renews the strength and builds
I'D the entire system. Look for the
name "Gude's Pepto-Mangan" on the
package. Advertisement

PRINTING COSTS

The Business Printer has summed
I'D the various costs of putting out
printing, dividing them into four
classes: labor cost, shop cost, liked
cost and Office cost.
Under the first heading is the price
paid for labor, also amount OF non
productive time. In the second class
we have requirements, interest on in
vestment, repairs, supplies, spoiled
work, and superintendent. The fixed
costs are rent, light, power, taxes, in
surance; and the office costs, book
keeping, selling, bad accounts, mama
gers salary and advertising.
Do YOU think of all these when you
are figuring on a job? If you do not
then when the buyer insists upon re-
duction in cost by the printer-and
succeeds in getting a cut rate-you
are causing the printer who does the
work, to place your account on the
wrong side of the ledger. He will soon
be unable to employ labor and injure
business. Pay fair price and keep
the wheels going.

AGREE ON EXCHANGE
Farmers May Swap Ton of Cotton
 Seed for 1,500 Pounds of Meal

Montgomery, January 10.-(Specialo Farmers who desire cottonseed meal for fertilizer may exchange one ton of raw cotton seed for 1.500 pounds of seven per cent meal under an agree ment among cotton oil mills. This an nouncement was made by the Alabama marketing and crop reporting service today with the further statement that it was submitted to the farmers for their own information and without further comment
 It was stated, however. that only about one-third of the normal amount of cotton seed had reached the mills which had greatly reduced the supply of cotton-seed meal available for fer tilizer and that if there is the usual demand for this fertilizer, it will be all most impossible for tn. mills to meet the needs of the farmers.
 At normal distances and for imme- diate exchange the mills propose to pay the freight both ways. Where a farmer is close enough to mill to de- liver his seed and receive the meal, he will be given an additional 100 pounds of meal
