high in value-the competition Of
cheap land has passed. High trans
portation rates favor the nearby pro-
Queer.
These are attractions which will
draw if skillfully set before the home
seekers. 1t remained for New Hamp-
shire to take the lead in this very
practical effort at self-government.
However, there is no reason why
other states should not make SINH
lar effort. It is in line with what
Mr.. Rossiter has urged upon Yer
mont. There are just as many
farming opportunities in this state
as across the Connecticut-in some
ways there are more. Why can't

The tax burden seems to be. troub-
ling the people of Maine as well as
Vermont. In recent statement Gle
ment S. Stetson of the Maine board
of state assessors said in speaking
along general lines of taxation, that
usually when the valuation goes UP
the tax rate comes down but that
in the past four years the value OF
property in the state had risen from
1921, 100000 to $637 100000. In the
same time the average tax rate in the
state had jumped from $23.75 to 81. 6(
per $1,000. This makes an increase
of better than 46 per cent in the
amount of taxes paid. :.

In voting to erect new school
building Orleans has acted wisely
The new $4,000 structure will proba-
bly, house the high school alone, the
present quarters being used for grade
purposes only. Orleans has beer
crowded in it's school capacity fol
years and it will never regret the de-
cision to provide proper educationa
facilities. Money may be saved or
public enterprises but it is no place
to begin when the education of the
American youth is concerned. The
erection of splendid new school
building in Orleans will not only add
to the permanent worth of that place
but contributes to the character anc
growth of the entire south part OF
Orleans county.

Community Spirit.
bellows Falls Tines)

"The difference between city that
does big things and one that does
not is largely a difference in COM
munity spirit. The city that fails
to do things may have more wealth
and resources than the one that does
not, but teamwork and pep enable
the city with smaller resources to
outstrip it's rival, just as a light
football team may outplay a heavier
team whose dependence on mere
beef is so pronounced as to make it
logy and slower. The mere act of
getting together develops community
spirit. It is difficult to explain the
psychology of it, but it seems to run
through all animal life. A. flock of
sheep seem able to defy dog that
would chase single sheep to death
in no time. A mob will do things
that an individual would never
dream Of doing. That is why author
tiles dispense mobs as soon as pos
stsible. In the same way when a
group of men get together for the
purpose of boosting a community
each individual seems to gain from
the. cumulative influence, so that a
constantly increasing impetus and
initiative are impaired to the work in
hand"
A lot to it at that. The individual
who strolls by his lonesome never
carries as far as the one who enjoys
and is capable of team work. If all
or most of the individuals in COM
munity are strolling by their lonesome,
the community does not coordinate
properly, apologies to Gov. Hardness.
That is why a woman's club, cham
Der of commerce, etc, are generally
beneficial to community life, provid-
ed always that the community is not
over burdened with too many organ
izations.

Vermont Certified Seed Potatoes

The production of certified Green
Mountain potato seed for 1921 in this
State is conservatively estimated at
$4,000 bushels, it is stated in the
Market Reporter for November IL.
Certified Irish Cobblers are estimated
at 10000 bushels. The total, 100000
bushels was raised on 500 acres. This
far exceeds the 1920 production which
was $4,000 bushels of certified seed
from t272 acres. Probably rs per
cent of the certified seed produced
this year will be available for ship
ment to other States, according to the
Market Reporter. Shipments are
now being made at prices around
1925 and $3.50 a bushel, free on
board at the shipping point.

DELAWARE DEMOCRATS PICK
GRAY FOR COMMITTEEMAN

o. WOLCOTT FOR PARTY LEADER
Andrew c. Gray Gets 35 Out of so
Votes Present-Sussex Men Pro-
test In Form of Petition

The Democratic State Central Com
mittee, in session at Dover Saturday
afternoon called for the main purpose
of electing a National Committeeman
to succeed former United States Sena-
tor Josiah o. Wolcott, elected to this
high post Andrew c. Gray, former at
tOrney-general of the State of Della
ware and son of Judge George Gray,
of Wilmington. Thirty-five out of 80
members of the committee present
either in person or by proxy voted for
Mr.. Gray, who was the only person
placed in nomination and with the eX-
ception of one vote for New Castle
county Chairman Eben B. Frazier
no other candidate was voted for.
There were two blank votes and one
voted mo" A protest in the form of
petition from Sussex county was
presented, signed by 20 out of the %
members of the Sussex County Com
mittee, advocating the postponement
of the election of a National Commit
teeman until the next General Election
in this State. This petition was pre-
sented by Representative William
Welsh, of Milton. He expressed the
feeling that if the matter was defer
red until next years election, the dele
gates elected for the State Conven-
ton could come to the convention pre-
pared to vote for National Committee
man. The name of Andrew C. Gray
was placed in nomination by John c
SaylOr, of Wilmington, and was sec
onded by Mr.. Hevey P. Hall, OF
Smyrna. Aside from the protest em.
bodied in the petition from SUSSEX
county asking for a deferring of the
election, Messrs. Tunnel, Lynch anC
L. L. LaftOn also advocated the post
ponement. After the vote had beer
taken Chairman Isaacs declared hin
elected National Committeeman from
Delaware. His announcement was re
ceived with applause. Chairman Isaac
cOmplimented the State Committee OF
its action, because Delaware's quota OF
the National Committee had been fill
ed, and he also commented upon tn
true spirit of democracy which ha,
characterized the meeting.

BLACKBIRD FARMER is UPHELD
George Neal Declared Within His
Rights to Stop Men in his COrnfieId

Blackbird, Oct. 26.-George Neal, a
well-known farmer, tenant of the Lat
tomus farm near here, was arraigned
before Magistrate Richard Hodgson on
Saturday, in Townsend, and he was
charged by A. L. Handy, colored, a
farmer, with pointing a gun at him
and threatening bodily harm. The
case was dismissed. For some time
farmers have been missing husked
corn from their fields and last Thurs
day night Mr.. Neal secured gun and
waited in his corn field to see if there
were any intruders. Handy and a
friend, Harry Johnson, colored, start
ed to cross the Neal field. The latter,
thinking the two men were after his
corn, pointed his shotgun at them, or
dering them to halt. When he recog-
nized the two men he allowed them to
proceed at once. Later on Handy had
Mr.. Neal arrested. At the trial Mr..
Neal was represented by James w.
Lattomus, Wilmington, his landlord.
After considerable evidence had been
taken, Justice Hodgson decided that
the accused was fully justified in pro-
tecting his property with fire-arm
against trespassers, so long as he had
been missing corn, and thus dismissed
the case.

License tags for 1922 will be issued
commencing November l, 1921. Au-
tomobile numbers held by the owners
during the year 1921 will be issued
for 1922 during the month of Novem-
ber Beginning December l, automo-
bile registrations will be issued to all
applicants, but no special numbers
granted. Automobilists are requested
to make applications early in order to
assist the Motor Vehicle Department
and save any trouble that might be
caused by delay in the mails. All ap-
plicants are required to present title
certificate to the Notary in making
application for re-registration, as no
car will be registered unless title num-
Der is given. A list of approved light
ing devices is being prepared by the
Secretary of State as the law requir-
ed. The completion of this list is be-
ing delayed by the failure of many
manufacturers to file the proper GER
tificate. Lenses approved at present
include Alfeco, Bausch & Lomb, Ben
zer, HOlOphane, Liberty, Macbeth, Nc
Kee Type D, Mckee Type L, Onlee,
Patterson, Saferlite and Universal.
Realizing that there are many other
standard lenses entitled to approval
which are carried by many Delaware
cars and that it would work a hard
ship on the owners of these cars to
compel the substitution of another
lighting device, enforcement of this
section of the law will be delayed for
a reasonable length of time.

CAUGHT BY GIRLS QUICK WIT
Sheriff c. w. Graham's Daughter LO-
Gates Man Wanted For Assault

Harry Cassons, alias Harry Will
liams, colored, for whom the officers,
both State and County, have been look
ing for a month was arrested at Do
yer Thursday through the alertness of
a daughter of Sheriff C. w. Graham,
while she was on her way to school.
Cassons was a prisoner at the Jail
shortly after Sheriff Graham, assum-
ed charge. The family was familiar
with him and Thursday on seeing the
negro passing the street ahead of her,
the Sheriff's daughter went to a tele-
phone and called her father, giving
him a description of the negro and
where she saw him. The sheriff soon
found Cassons east of the water and
light plant on the public road. The
prisoner was given hearing before
Magistrate +. F. Wood Thursday af-
ternOon on charge of a murderous as
sault on Farmer, Jefferson D. Bann-
ing of near FELTON,, three of four weeks
ago. While Cassons denied that as
sault, Banning identified him as his as
sailant. Casson was held in $1,000
bail, in default of which he was COM
mitted to Kent County Jail. Cassons
assault on Farmer Banning was most
brutal. Banning had just put his
horses away in the stable and was tax
ing the halter from them, when he was
struck in the face and his eye almost
knocked out. Thinking he had beer
kicked by the horse, Banning felt
around and in so doing touch the arm
of man raised for another blow. He
wrenched the stick of wood from The
negro's hand and started to defenC
himself, when the negro escaped.
