PARDONS GRANTED BY BOARD

!. Delaware's State Board of Par
dOns last week heard arguments in
favor of a pardon for C. Walter Mum
ford, of Georgetown, who is serving a
] sentence of eighteen months in the
New Castle County Workhouse, six
months of which was for the larceny
of chickens and one year for non-sup-
port of wife and children. 1t was
shown to the board that Mumford,
who pleaded guilty on August 20,
1920, to the offenses charged. 1t was
said that he was an addict to the drug
habit, but under the treatment at the
WorkhOuse has sufficiently recover
ed to be considered safe from its fur
ther influences.
Forty letters from citizens of
Georgetown were read to the board
recommending the pardons as Num-
ford was needed by his wife and
children. A conditional pardon was
granted.
The second case passed upon by the
board was that of John J. Bowers, a
young man for whom an application
had been made at a previous meeting
of the board, action having been de-
ferred until the meeting last week.
Bowers is serving a sentence of two
years in the WOrkhouse, being impli-
Gated in an assault and battery charge
in taxicab mix-up in Wilmington
some time last year. Because of the
strong evidence produced for reasons
for pardons, the board also granted a
pardon to Bowers.

LAWYERS GOSSIPING
ABOUT NEW BENCH

The appointment of the new bench,
which is about one month distant, is
the one absorbing topic among law
yers all over the State. The terms of
office of Chancellor Curtis, Chief JUS
tice Pennewill and Associate Judges
Boyce and Conrad expire in June and
the appointment of their successors
is causing no little anxiety, as well
as comment among the members of
the bar. The term of Associate Judge
Rice will not expire for two years and
that of Associate Judge Heisel will
not expire during the term of the pres
ent Governor, as he was appointed by
Governor Miller in 1915.
The gossip concerning the person
mel of the new bench is varied, some
expressing the belief that the mem
bers of the present bench will all be
retained, while others claim that an
entirely new bench will be named.
Some of the possibilities mentioned
in the event there is a change in part
of the bench includes a successor to
Associate Judge Boyce, of Kent coun-
ty, in the person of William Watson
Harrington, of Dover, and in Sussex
county, of Joseph L. Cahall, to sue
ceed Judge Henry C. Conrad.
Some mention also has been made
of change in the Chancellorship and
Chief Justiceship, but the majority of
feeling is that both Chancellor Curtis
and Chief Justice Pennewill will be
reappointed.
At all odds the expectants will not
have much longer to wait for the an
nouncement of the appointment of a
majority of the members of the bench
for the next twelve years.

time has lived in Rehoboth during the

times, his first wife being Miss Eliza
beth Turner, of New Castle; his Sec
ond, Miss Ellen Postles, daughter of
Stephen Postles, and his third wife,
Miss Annie Hawkins. He was a mem
ber of Grace Church, Wilmington, and
of the Masonic fraternity. For a num-
Der of years he was director of the
Farmers Bank. He is survived by his
widow and a son, John Preston
Doughten, attached to the State De-
partment at Washington, and a son,
Charles L. Doughten.

PROHIBITION OFFICER
FIGHT IN SUSSEX COUNTY

The matter of Endorsement of a
Sussex man for prohibition enforce
ment officer for Delaware, which has
slipped cog, because of protests
against the first selection, is still
very much in the air.
The women having sought voice
in the matter, it was arranged that a
committee from the Women's Repub-
lican Committee of the county, with
two representatives from the w. C.
7. u, would be given hearing by the
five Sussex members of the Republi-
can State Committee. At the appointed
time, however, only two of the five
male committeeman were present.
They were Mr.. Lynch and Mr.. Short.
The women were on hand, Mrs.. G. G.
Pierce representative of the State w:
c. T. u, and Miss Lillian Cade of the
County w. C. T. U.
There was lengthy discussion of
the question at issue, but as there was
no quorum of the mems committee,
adjournment was made without
reaching any decision. Meanwhile the
appointment hangs fire.

PLENTY OF FARM HELP

Farmers of the lower part of New
Castle county and the upper part of
Kent county report that they are now
able to secure plenty of good help at
reasonable wages, which have been
nearly cut in half of what they were
two years ago. Instead of the farmers
hunting for heb, the workmen are
now seeking places to work.
One noticeable feature is that many
persons who were attracted to the cit
les during the war period are now re-
turning to the farms. This exodus
from the farms during the period of
war booms caused much alarm as
there were many farms which could
not be operated owing to the scarcity
of farm help and the extremely high
wages which had to be paid to such
help as was available.

HENLOPEN GRANGE

Our report of Friday, May 6, would
read something like the small boys
composition on base ball: Rain! no

summed up in one word-"awful'

weather prevented a meeting, being
the first Friday evening this year that
HenlOpe Grange has failed to have a

The Grange entertainment and fes-

May 18. A small admission fee will be
charged, but we feel sure everyone,
who enjoys a good laugh, will feel
that the money was well spent. Ice

the next evening, Thursday, May 49,,
will be the date.

WHEAT MAY BE ALL RIGHT

Farmers of Smyrna locality say
that less damage was done to the
wheat crop by the recent freezing
weather than was at first thought.
The wheat has lost the yellow color
that it held following the freeze, and
is now making a strong growth. In
some fields the leaves at the bottom of
the stalks are noticed to be dead, but
the general impression is that with
good weather condition in harvest
time there will be an average crop.
An early harvest is predicted, as the
wheat is almost ready to head.

REDUCED CORN CONTRACTS

At a meeting of sugar corn growers,

Bakers cannery will be the only corn

on the expert services Of the scientist
who is just as much at home with his
beakers, retorts and chemicals as
the farmer is with his plow.
Consequently It is to the scientist
that the farmer turns for his knowl-
edge of soil fertility. He must un-
derstand what acidity means and
must have knowledge of the proper
methods of counteracting it. He
must realize that with an acid condi-
tion of the soil it is impossible for
him to secure the complete benefits
from the use of commercial fertilizer
or manure If he discovers that lime
is essential on his farm, he must be
informed of the proper quantity
necessary so that no waste shall re-
suit from over application or none
of the beneficial results be lost oy

The Soils Department of the Mary

farmer in the State to send samples
