--oney in most sections is reported

Conditions in the lumber business ut
the present time are reported to be
very poor, there are practically no or
ders and the prices that have recently
prevailed are below cost of production.
In the lower part of the peninsula
II is reported that the crop of wheat
was below the average, although the
yield and quality of corn was good.
In most of the seafood centres
the peninsula the past year has been
reported as a favorable one, some of
the larger oyster packers in Cam
bridge report the present season as
good, if not better than any of the
previous years and that they have
been handicapped, owing to the lack
of sufficient labor, although at the
present time there is slump in the
demand for oysters as is usually the
case following Christmas.
In the vicinity of Salisbury it is re-
ported that money is exceedingly
scarce, very little in circulation, banks
unable to meet demands. 1t is said
that the community was blessed with
bountiful crops but very little money
was realized from the sale owing to
low prices. 1t is said that there is
practically no demand for automobiles
or luxuries of any kind and while
practically all business is at low par
there appears to be very little idleness.
In New Castle county, Delaware,
and Cecil county, Maryland, it is re-
ported that the yield for practically all
crops was good althouh the prices
realized were too low in most cases to
show a profit owing to unusually high
prices paid for labor machinery, fer
tilizer and seeds.

Many of the men claimed that tn
have no future prospects for work,
but cannot afford to continue working
for the wages offered, due to the pres

lodging asked in the local towns.

Several thousand carloads of dirt
have already been put on the newly
proposed causeway of this road over
Appoquinimink Creek, at a point in
the rear of the farm of the late
George L. Townsend, the dirt bein.:

WOODLAND BEACH ROAD HELD
Up BY KENT LEVY COURT
QUESTION AS To KENT COUN-
TVS AUTHORITY IN MATTER

Routine Business Taken Up at An
Adjourned Session Held at Dover
Tuesday-One More Meeting
Kent County's Levy Court held an
adjourned session Tuesday which was
supposed to have been the last ses-
sion of the Kent County Levy Court
as now constituted of ten member;
but, according to the new law passed
at the special session creating
three-commissioner Court, the word
ing of the law seems somewhat con-
Trajectory. Because of that fact, the
ten-fember court will meet at Dover
next Tuesday anr hold meeting as
usual, and then turn over the books
and records as required by law to
the three new members.
But little business was transacted
at Tuesdays session. James R. Mott,
through his attorney, Henry Ridgely,
appeared before the Court asking for
the payment of a bill for road con-
struction done by Mr.. Mott in 1914
and 1915 on the road from Leipsic to
Woodland Beach. AS the bill had not
been presented sooner and as there
was some question concerning [ e
road as to it's egress and ingress to
farms or tracts of land along the
route, the matter was deferred until
the next meeting.
Commissioner Raughley asked that
the Court approve of road construct
ed in his district, which has been COM
pleted but never accepted by the
Court. On motion the road was ac-
cepted as a county highway.
A committee consisting of Messrs.
Evans and Henry Williams, Comp
troller H. B. Grieves and David Roth
enberg was appointed to go over the
error and delinquent list of Collect
or Eugene Coppage, of West Dover,
and ascertain if any such list had been
allowed in previous error and de-
linquent list.

The Daily News of Longmont, Colo,
of date Dec. 10, gives a good descrip-
ton of the Christmas carol commu-
nifty sing that took place in that city
Sunday, Dec Is. The sing took place
in the auditorium of that progressive
little Colorado city, in which was an
audience of $500 people. The carols
were sung by $50 school children,
who were under the direction of Miss
Marguerite Porter, whose fine mus
zeal talent is well known to the people
of Ocala. The sing was a great sue
cess. Among other things the News
says: "Mr. Kiteley paid a high tri.
butte of appreciation to Miss Porter
supervisor of music in the public
schools, who has done so much fol
the children of Longmont and tt
whom the success of the community
sing was largely due"

Time after time since the outbreak
Of the world war. the Armenizns have
made a brave attempt to cultivate their
land. And time after time some new
disorder has prevented them from gather
ing their crops or laid waste their fields
before the grain has ripened and been
gathered IN.
After two years of American relief
activity il seemed last fall as if we would
be able to reduce our program in Russian
Armenia TO the care Of the children We
had gathered into our orphanages. But
then came the new invasion, crops were
trampled down Ia the fields. live stock
was carried of, and the peasant population
were drivL-. from their homes
We may not be able TO save all Of the
helpless refugees who are now crowded
In this territory, but we certainly cannot
desert the hundred thousand orphan
children who are now in our orphsnages
or under our protection in the Caucasus,
AnatoliA, Cilicia and Other devastated
areas Of the Near East. Last spring,
when our supplies ran low, 5000 of these
children died out Of a total Of 10000 IN
one Of our orphznages- These children
are absolutely dependent upon aid from
America and viii perish II our aid is
withheld
Next year II further chaos can be
avoided. osibly we win be able 20
reduce our Program, but prompt action
