TWO NEW FARM CENTERs
Organized AS a Result of The Recent
Membership Drive-West Dover.


AS a result of the Farm Bureau
membership drive in Kent county two
new community centers have been
organized, and have elected their
officers, and made plans for holding
regular meetings. Immediately fol-
lowing the membership drive in their
neighborhood farmers living in the
vicinity of the Almshouse called a
meeting and elected Clarence E. Mel
vim as their local chairman and Rod
ney Baxter, secretary. Their second
meeting was held last week, and
Homer Nicholson was elected as Re-
preventative to the State Farm Bu-
reau Federation and Lawrence Reed
alternate. This new community will
be designated in the organization as
the "Oakshade Community"
In the vicinity of Hartly, a new
center has been established near
Bethesda church, and will be known
as the Bethesda Community. Fred
w. Williams has been elected chair
man of this community. At Farm
Bureau headquarters, it was announc-
ed this week that several other COM
munities viii probably be organized
in a short time. One of these will be
in the Pennington district, which has
heretofore been included in the Har-
rington group.
Farmers all through the county
have taken up the purchase of clover
seed in a. cooperative manner through
the Farm Bureau, and have selected
local dealer through which seed can
be ordered at very. reasonable price
An investigation by the Farm Bureau
recently revealed the fact that there
was no uniform price on clover .seeC
for the county. and that some dealers
were taking a much wider margin Of
profit than others. Since this inves,
tigation clover seed has dropped from
$500 to $4.00 per bushel in the coun
ty, while the Baltimore quotation!
have gone off less than $1.0O pc
! bushel.
| Officials of the Farm Bureau sa,
that many local dealers have offeret
very good terms on seed, and tha
their members have been advised t,
deal at home whenever possible. Fo
those who cannot get REASONABLE
prices at home, terms have been ar
ranged with dealer in Kent count,
who will fill all orders at price Sc
cured by the representative of tn
Farm Bureau. In this matter tn
Farm Bureau is again proving itsel
real service organization for tn
farmers without entering into tn
commercial field, as it will not handl
this seed, and takes no profits fror
the transaction.

"Kismet" Will be Seen at Opera House
sVSsN,IOr-eoLE

"Kismet" has been called the One
Thousand and Second story of the
Arabian Nights. 1t is the tale of the
day of days in the life of Hail, the
beggar, who lived in the city of Bag
dad when that city was at its height
of Importance. Between dawn and
sunset, Hail is lifted high and sunken
low. He meets his mortal enemy and
Stays him in the prison where they
are coincidentally thrown. He is pre-
sented to the Caliph, "the shadow of
Allah upon Earth" to whom his
daughter, Marsinah, is married at
sunset, while Hail, with banishment
order over his head, sinks to rest on
the stone steps of the Mosque where
he had been discovered at dawn, philo-
sophically murmuring: "Mine enemy
dead-Marsinah wed--Mecca tomor-
row."

school Code hi gQuestion

It does not matter what the subject
of the discussion is at the start, when
ever a group of legislators congregate
at Dover, it is sure to drift around to
the school code. Many members adj
nit that is all they are interested in
before the Legislature, and that they
would be willing to even go back to
the old antiquated laws of four years
ago. The situation is getting on the
nerves of some of the members and
there have been several indications OF
a break on the majority side of the
Senate. The Wilmington charter bill
does not seem to be in much better
shape as to probable favorable action

Mystery Surrounds Continued Absence of w. H. M'Ray.
 Market Caused Worries

Hunstsville, April 1.--(Special )--W H. Mckay, weathly tie buyer of Flora Tenn, and well known in this section of the state, has mysteriously disap- peared. The family has asked author ities and others to assist in the search. He disappeared last Saturday.
 It is believed that business worries has caused him to wander away, He has been doing an extensive business in cross ties and the condition of the market during the last few months has caused him constant apprehension. It is understood that he had a large amount of money invested.
 Also there's an element of possi- bility of foul play, When last seen, he had just finished the purchase of a large bill of goods at Huntsville store to be sent to his home. He was kown to have large amount of money on his person and for several days, the search was prosecuted on the tn cory that he had been waylaid. This story however. is being generally abandoned
