Secretary of State

II is now the "affable Mr.

Up to a few months ago it was
the "icy Mr.. Hughes"
So far none has attempted to
explain the sudden change Of
temperature in Charles Evans
Hughes, Secretary or State.
formerly justice Of the u. $.
Supreme Court and Republican
candidate for president in 1916.
That the Hughes tempera-
ture. however. can drop quick
ly to the stiff freezing point
when the occasion demands II
was demonstrated a short time
ago when a bureau chief in the
State department sought to
brush aside the rules of the
Office and see his chief in spite
Of the busy signal" He open
ed Hughes door after being
warned away by a secretary.
Hughes measured the intruder
with one of his famous glacial
glances and the chilled bureau
chief staggered from the door
way.
Hughes. however. does not
spend his time showing a warm
exterior to the world. He is
working as hard as any man
who evdr held the Office. OBJ
servers credit him with an ex-
ceptional capacity for work
keen, grasp OF international af-
fairs and being a master Of
diplomacy. His handling Of
several delicate international
situations, including the zap
mandate, our participation In
the reparations question and
the Panama-Costi Rican squab-
BILE. stamps him as man Of
keen vision. quick decision and
firm say.
Hughes works hard and his
example has instilled the phi
losophy OF labor into his sub
ordinates. He usually takes a
half-hour for lunch and is in
his Office hard at work when
the average business man is
taking his shower.

BE THE BIGGEST

Special prizes for Holstein-Frie-
sian cattle and for the best agricul-
tural display by farmers. are among
the attractive side honors in addi-
ton to the general premiums that
will be given at the Delaware state
Fair at Elsmere this year.
The offer Of special prizes for the
display Of Holstein- -Friesian cattle Is
made by the Holstein- -Friesian Asso-
citation Of America. In transmitting
the offer to the Fair Association Off
cials. f. L. Houghton, secretary Of
the association writes;
mo animal can compete for
prize that has not been recorded on
the records Of the association. Ger
tifcates Of registry and transfers
must be axamineL before the prizes
are awarded, that the judges may
know that the exhibitors have com
piled with these requirements.
IAN unregistered animal, even
though eligible for registration, or a
registered animal not properly trans
fered cannot compete. The percent
age offered is based only on the
general classihcations and not on
the champion or grand champion
classes.
As has been announced the display
OF cattle Of various choice breeds
this year will be one Of the very in
teresting exhibits at the fair. The
competition among Delaware farm
ers for only blooded cattle is becom-
ing keener each year. and the pos
session OF a blue ribbon from the
Fair Association, is an honor much
sought for.

Mr.. Burpee's offer. the Fair Asso-
citation offers three cash prizes in

BILE. that the farmer winning one
first premium. in the vegetable
classes might also be successful in
obtaining the Burpee prizes.
Although the lack OF rain is dis
courasing many farmers. those who
are contemplating entering exhibits
at the Fair are trying as best they
can TO irrigate their patches from
which they will select fair exhibits

DODGE NOW CORD EQUIPPED

c. w. McCabe, local Dodge Brothers
dealer, received the following notice
from the factory today:
'Effective today, all models of the
Dodge Brothers motor cars will be
equipped with oversize cord tires"
This change to cord tire equipment
further reflects Dodge Brothers tradi-
tional determination to build into their
car more and more service-value-to
make the purchase price Of the car as
nearly as possible The last expenditure.
Not only have we changed from
fabric tires to cord tires but we have
also changed the size from a 9 1-2 in.
to a in. size. We estimate this change
gives the customer about four times
the tire mileage as compared with the
original fabric tire equipment.
In seven years the increase in the
price of Dodge Brothers cars has been
The least of any but one.
During that time improvements add
ed to the car have mort than offset
the moderate increase in price.
The fact that, during the year Just
ended, the sales of Dodge Brothers
cars to owners were without parellel,
both in quantity and in value, reflects
the public acceptance of those funda-
mentally sound business principles to
which Dodge Brothers have adhered 50
steadfactly from the beginning.
