WHEN THE APPROPRIATION was made by the leg

River at Bowers Beach, the State of Delaware completed
its responsibility for that fine improvement for the peo-
pie 1t is now up to the Levy Court County to
build the bridge and also the connect with the
highways each side of the Murderk River Like other
public interests, it requires that those interested
shall get after the project and keep Levy awake
to the responsibility of building and opening this greatly
needed Improvement We realize that citizens res
idents of the northern part County have no di-
rect interest in this improvement be said as well
that the people of the lower part County have no
direct interest in building expensive bridges other parts
of Kent County, but they have always compelled to
pay their proportional parsO that argument fails to be
of weight If the bridge Murderki River is to
ever become fact that part of the people directly inter
ested must at take steps impress upon the Kent
County Levy Court the necessity advancing this work
in every possible There will be many kinds of arg-
ment against building the bridge by those who opposed
the project for before the legislature They will
quietly but persistent the members of the Levy
Court to postpone its budingfor this reason it will also
be the duty of those who favor bridging Murderk at
Bowers Beach, to be persistent the bridge shall be
built Eternal vigilance will price of getting this
bridge 1t will take much hard work with the Kent County
Levy Court to get work started. The public now knows
where to ask and who will be responsible for success or
failure of this public benefit thru better facilities for
travel and connection with transportation

LOCAL ICEMEN HAVE
 SKATERS TROUBLES
Skating Is Forbidden on Most all of the lee Ponds in the City-Owncrs
 Advance Many Reasons.

The owners of various ice ponds In New Britain are experiencing Il great deal of trouble this year with skaters. With but one exception skating is for bidden on the ice ponds in the city. and although signs have been placed about the premises telling of such, the ponds are usually covered with young people each night desrous of Il pleasant pastime.
 One of the owners of Doerr's pond on Shuttle Meadow avenue stated last evening that ice skating would be for bidden on the pond until after the first ice cutting. This action is taken, it is said, because of the fact that var ious items of rubbish such as tobacco, paper and often times candies are thrown on the pond which later freeze into the ice.
 The above articles, especially the tobacco, if found in the ice in the summer time is unsanitary and for this reason the board of health de- sires the icemen to keep their ponds clear of skaters until after the ice

SLAV KINGDOM
 HAS COME BACK
Serbia Is Once More Among
 Nations

Belgrade, JugosIayla, Dec. i {. CBy the Associated Pressl Serbia has "come back" This Is perhaps the most incisive way of saying that the little Slav kingdom has recovered n the most spectacular way from the effects Of the war. For the first time in 10 years the country Is standing on it~ own feet and iS in no need of out side assistance. The peasantry of Iugoslavta, which form the backbone and siuew Of the country, are enjoy ing degree Of prosperity and ma terial content unknown before,
 Other countries may have their un- employment problems, but JugosIaNia has none. Indeed, she has abundant work for thousands Of aliens who are honest have the will to work and are free from Bolsheyism. Two hundred thousand good Russians who were without employment since the Pctro- grad revolution of 1917 have come to hospitable Jugoslavia and found use ful and profitable pursuits among people of their own tongue. Every Serbian soldier. too, has found re- muneratiye work upon leaving the army. Soldiers unions, lcgions, or employment bureaus do not exist in this country.
 The most impressive evidence of Serbia's rejuvenation is the cXtraor- dinary building boom which is sweep ing the country. In, Belgrade alone 4,000 buildings are in course of con- struction. In every corner of the Kingdom business buildings, school houses and private dwellings are springing up with a rapidity that re- minds one of the building boom in the western towns of the United States when gold was discovered, or of the home building craze that seized the suburban centers of that country a decade ago.
 Every square foot of the 4,000 buildings now in erection in the Ser bian capital is taken, and it will re- quire thousands of additional struc- lures to accommodate the business firms and individuals who are flOcking to the Jugoslavian metropolis in ever increasing numbers. Once called ''an overgrown village" Belgrade is now for the first time assuming the pro- portions importance and dignity of a real capital. Soon the city will have a splendid parliament building, royal residence, and an opera house of

TRIED AGAIN FOR MURDER
Wheeler Cooper is Charged With the
Killing of Merle Y. Brown.

Wheeler Cooper. Creek Indian, Is
again on trial before District Judge
Redmond S. Cole on a charge OF
numbering Merle T. Brown. Cooper
was tried on the same charge. May
7, 1920. but the jury after being out
two days was discharged without
rendering a verdict.
Brown wGs killed on tho night of
March II, last year during a party
at one of the numerous negro "choc''
Joints then infesting the environs OF
Tulsa. Cooper, Fred Badget and
Mont Morris were charged with
Browns death. Morris was ac-
quilted by Jury. Badget has never
been tried but II Is probable that he
will be used as n state witness AT
Cooper's present trial.
According to testimony given az
Cooper's former trial, fight started
inside the "choc" joint and con
tinued In the road outside. After
tho scrap was over, Brown was found
fatally stabbed in the breast. The
jury was selected Monday
morning and the first state witness
took the stand carly in the after
noon. A week was required at the
former trial but It is believed that
the case will go to the jury in less
time at the present hearing.
Tom Wallace, assistant county at
torney, is conducting the prosecu-
ton. John Goldsberry was dis
qualified in the case due to the fact
that he had previously defended
