When the Railroad Company took
up the platform around the Smyrna
station and replaced it with stone and
curbing, their patrons had hoped it
was to be something better-a nice
concrete pavement all around the
station. But not so. The surface
treatment of this new pavement is
fine stone, mixed with dirt, that pull
verizes and makes walking very dis
agreeable. Women with white shoes
utter complaints of disgust and would
far rather walk on the old board
planks. which the Railroad Company
took up. Citizens and patrons of the
road should lose no time in lodging
formal complaint. In fact they should
90 still further and seek to have g
Better station with more comfortable

Smyrna is on a branch railway is nj
reason why we can not have good ant
sufficient service, such as other towns

The present arrangement all the wa.
around is a poor makeshift.
Smyrna times., 1921-09-14

In all places and at all times there
are those who misrepresent conditions
which prevail in local communities.
Especially is this true of current
prices for products of the farms or
orchards, paid by those interested in
marketing the crops. 1t is but natur-
al for the speculator to buy at the
lowest price possible and sell for the
high dollar-that is his business. On
the other hand it is the business of
the grower to learn what prices are
at the consuming end of the market,
6r what other buyers are paying at
loading points in the county or state.
This can be done with a very small
cost to the grower, by using the tele-
phone, or telegraph at the proper time
to get the information before market
ing the ripening crop. Each day the
cost would not exceed one dollar for
telephone charges, which will serve
for not only one individual, but for
the point or station where delivery is
made. Just little practical applica-
tion of business sense, may bring back
several dollars for small expenditure
of money. 1t is up to the growers to
know what they are doing when they
sell crop. They take the chance on
growing the crop, but fail to carry the
project to completion, by making the
effort to know if the speculator is
dealing fair with them. The specula-
tors have never accumulated great
fortunes through the business of buy
ing fruit and vegetables at the sta
tions in Delaware. For that reason it
is fair to presume that they have gen
orally paid the limit for fruit and
vegetables to the growers. 1t is true
that buyers have paid widely different
prices for tomatoes this season in
Delaware. While the buyers at the
railroad stations started to pay thirty
cents per basket, at steamboats, and
other points, prices have ranged from
forty to eighty cents per basket. This
wide range must not be assumed TO
be the average prices for sales made
at any point. 1t is far more likely to
fbe about halfway between the high
and low point; but, the sensationalist
deliberately makes the statement that
such prices prevail at the selling sta
tion. The growers who fail to make
inquiry by telephone for themselves,
as to the correct state of the market,
turn their delivery trucks to the al
legged high market, only to find that
they have made the trip for a disap-
pointment. Just use common sense
and get information as to market con-
ditions and the expenditure for tele-
phoning, will add to the cash returns

In 800 this same girl, Theophano,
was married to Romanus, his imperial

But the mother and five sisters of

Phocas proclaimed emperor, and Sec
ond time became empress of ByZan-
tium. This brought on a contest with
the church, which refused to sanction
the marriage. But the vampire was
woman of wit as well as seduction,
and she helped her new imperial hus-
band to maintain himself. Phocas won
notable victories against the Saracens
and greatly extended the power of By
zantium. Theophano tired of him and
looked about for new conquests. She
cast her favor upon Finishes, nephew
of the emperor, and garlant young
soldier. Once more her conspiracy
took shape, and Phocas was assas-
sinated. Then the church demanded
that Finishes drive Theophano forth
from the palace before his self-pro-
claimed accession to the purple would
be recognized. To the CONSERVATION
of Theophano, he promptly agreed and
she was bundled off to prison. But
the willy vampire who had risen from
the tavern to a throne still preserved
her cunning, and it was not long until
Finishes also passed away, poison
victim.
Theophano's two sons by her first
husband divided the empire and she re-
turned to the palace. History fails to
record further activities on her part.
