HONORS COME TO DELAWARE
Delaware Boys and Girls Win High
Honors at Eastern States Exposition

Delaware Boys and Girls Win High
Honors at Eastern States Exposition
Delaware boys and girls have won
fame for their State by carrying off
first honors in pig judging, first hon
ors in dairy judging and second hon
ors in canning judging at the Eastern
States Exposition, which is now in
progress at Springfield, Mass. This
is no small achievement as the boys
and girls met in competition with
teams from all of the ten eastern
states.
These teams are members of boys
and girls clubs, they are conducted By
the Delaware University, County
Farm Bureaus, and U. S. Department
of Agriculture, cooperating.
The dairy team is from New Castle
County and is composed of Gorden
Armstrong and Irwin Armstrong from
Middletown and Ernest Milliken from
Newark, Henry Wallace of Dover,
Kent County, William Hill of Bridge
vile, Sussex County and Harry CO.
baugh, of Glendale, Sussex County,
make up the pig team. The girls on
the canning team, Ethna White, Cath
crime White and Olive Murray are all
from Viola, Kent County.
Four teams representing dairy work
pig work, clothing work, and canning
work were chosen, by competition, at
the State Fair held in Wilmington
early in September as the best demon
stration and judging teams in Della
ware, as a reward for their good work
the State Fair Association paid their
transportation to Springfield, giving
them this opportunity to represent
Delaware in these contests. That the
boys and girls appreciate this help is
shown by the excellent work they are
doing. There will be other contests ir
which the Delaware boys and girl;
will participate this week. 1t will bC
interesting to watch and see what 9th,
er honors they will bring home.

Perry Castle, a negro, is held in Jail |
at Easton, Nd, for attempting a bru-
tai assault upon Matte Simpson, Ia |
years old. He denies assaulting the |
child, but bruises about her body and |
the marks of a mans teeth substanti- |
ate her story of having been assaulted. |
She is now patient at the Emergency
Hospital at Easton, suffering from
nervous prostration. Castle had only
one leg, his left having been amputat-
ed few weeks ago at Johns Hopkins
Hospital. Little Matte Simpson, who
is a sister of Bertha Simpson, the
child brutally assaulted by Isiah Foun-
tain (colored), who paid the penalty
upon the gallows, has definitely iden-
titled Castle as her assailant. She
was returning to her home from school
when attacked by the negro in a strip
of woodland back of Ferry Neck
church on the farm of Robert New
man, She says the negro grabbed her
and when she fought him he drew
knife and that she then promised she
would not resist if he would spare her
life. He loosened his hold and she
pushed him away. He fell and She
ran screaming from the woods.
His arrest was the result of a clev-
er trap. 1t was learned that he had
been at his fathers home. The old
negro had been arrested to prevent
him from aiding the son to escape.
The father was taken back to his cab
in and light was placed at the win
dow. Perry thinking all was well,
went to the house and raped upon the
door. The father was forced to open
it, and as he did Perry found himself
looking at two deputy sheriffs, who
stood pointing rifles at him.
He made a move as thought to
draw pistol and the deputies fired.
He fell and it was thought that he
had been wounded, but when Deputy
Sheriff Chante reached the outside he
was trying to crawl under the house.
He was taken in an automobile and
hurried to Easton. No one was told
that he had been captured until he
was in the Jail.

SHOULD CARRY LIGHTS
Without Them No Damage Can be
Collected in Event of Collision

OOllected In Event of Collision
From time to time the attention of
citizens of Delaware has been called
to the fact that unless proper lamps
are carried on all vehicles after dark.
the occupant or owners of such vehicle
cannot secure compensation for any
damages which might result from an
accident. Notwithstanding that the
law has been on the statutes of the
State of Delaware for the past sever
al years, it is not the general practice
of the citizens in the rural sections TO
carry lamps. While there is no pen
atty for failure to carry lights, the
law specifically states that damages
cannot be collected on the vehicles de-
molished. Last week 2 accidents were
reported on Thursday night near Mil
ford, and in neither instance did the
carriages carry any lights. For that
reason the owners are unable to bring
legal action against the drivers of the
automobiles which figured in the
snashups. That section of the law
relating to the question is found in
Volume 80, Laws of 1919, page 612,
Chapter 229. 1t follows:
"4210-A Section 48. Every vehicle
drawn by horses, mules or oxen upon
any of the public streets or highways
on this state shall, from one-half hour
before sunrise, show at least one
white light visible not less than two
hundred feet in both the direction in
which such vehicle is proceeding and
also in the opposite direction. If any
person shall drive or operate such
vehicle upon any public street or high
way in this state, without so showing
at least one white light, then in any
such case, such person shall, in case
of an accident and suit brought by any
such person, for damages against an
other, be deemed and taken to have
been guilty of contributory negligence
per set, and shall not recover in such
action"
The law is plain. We again urge
the owners of all vehicles to protect
themselves by carrying proper lights.

A man for whom the government
has been looking for 33 years, to
pay him a reward for the capture of
Chief Joseph of the Nez Perez tribe
of Indians, may have been found in
Beaverton, Ore. His name is Will
liam Bahr and he is engaged in bust
ness in Beaverton, where he has been
resident for more than 10 years.
He may now receive the $500 re-
ward offered by the government
back in 1888, if government records
bear out the claims. made for Bahr
by his friends. 1t was early in 1888
that Chief Joseph scalped a white
woman and two children. Word of
what had happened got to govern
ment officials and a reward of $500
was offered for his capture, dead or
alive. San Francisco Chronicle.

LONG LEAP ON MOTORCYCLE.

Gus Martin, well-known Los An
geles motorcyclist, not only cleared
the young chasm under HIM, but his
leap Of 81 feet set new record in
the annals of motorcycle feats.
Measurements taken showed that
Martin made a leap Of 81 feet from
take-off to the point where the ma
chine landed, and it travelled total
distance of 81 feet before it came to
a stop. The landing spot was eight
feet lower than the take-off. Those
who witnessed the madcap leap de-
clare it to be one of the greatest
motorcycle feats in history, as well
as breaking the former record of 81
feet.

KEEPING THEM DOWN.

Secretary Hoover said at a BAN
quet:
Zone difference between Europs
and America is that over there they
like to keep you in your place
stationary, you know, while here
we like to see a man rise-pauper
to President, errand boy to million
aire, and all that sort of thing.
'The European idea is pretty well
illustrated by the remarks of Mug
gins. Muggins, on his return from
the pub one Saturday night, said
to his wife:
4 believe in manly pride and
reasonable ambition, but when Ser
geant Todd with his cork leg takes
to caryin' a cane besides, it looks
to me as if he was tryin' to climb
out of the station what Divine Provi-
dence sunk him into.'v

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
Soldiers Hejoinder Somehow Seemed
to Leave Washer in q Mild
State of Reflection.

1t was street car, and he was
. fearfully-got-up masher. Over his
pince-nez he eyed the other passen-
gers haughtily, and they in turn
looked at him with amused, indul-
gent smiles.
Presently . soldier of the Sea-
forth Highlanders entered and took
his seat beside the masher. A stall
wart fellow, he soon became the
cynosure of all eyes.
The masher looked at him for a
moment. Then sliding up to him,
he said: q say, I've got-er--a
brother who is soldier, don't you
know p
SIS that a fact ?" said the soldier,
taking look at the questioner
"well, that's queer Ye see, I've got
brother who is a confounded idiot;
so we're about even, I'm thinking"
For moment the masher looked
as if he had swallowed something
that had disagreed with him. Then
he sank back in his seat and thought
1T over for the remainder of the
Journey.-London Tit-Bits.

This Time, Fright IL Alleged to Have
Turned Mans Hair From
Black to Red.

Medical reports contain many in
stances in which the hair Of person
subjected to shock or extraordinary
fright has turned white, but the hair
of James r. Spadden of Spring
Garden is turning red, as the result
of narrowing five minutes with a
vicious bull. Prior to this occur
renee Spadden's hair was coal black,
according to Pittsburgh dispatch
to the Philadelphia Record.
Several days ago while crossing
field he was attacked by bull which
he had not seen until it was too
late for him to reach safety. The
animal lowered its head and charged.
Spadden side-stepped the beast,
whose anger was intensified. A sec
ond time the bull rushed at him,
this time knocking its victim down.
The bull tried to gore the PROSTATE
man, but Spadden managed to es-
cape its lnnges. He was rolled about
on the ground, however, and severely
bruised.
Spadden's strength was almost ex-
hausted and death seemed certain
when the owner Of the bull, armed
with pitchfork, ran TO his aid and
drove the beast away. About 48
hours later few red hairs were
found scattered among the mass of
black ones that covered Spadden's
head. The number of these has in
creased until now the two tints are
about evenly divided.

Chinese Minister Waited. but Scored
Effectively When the Right
Time Came.

In London club, when the Chi,
nese minister happened to be pres
ent, rather tactless speaker re-
ferred to the position of women in
China and how they were debarred
from so many Of the privileges of
men. He meant no i'll, but what he
said was indiscreet and led to a
moments embarrassing silence, after
which the conversation was resumed
on other subjects.
The minister did not speak for
while, but presently, during a pause,
he turned to the man who had made
the critical remark:
''This is very beautiful club you
have here, sir.'
Eyes, ] believe it is the fnest.n
.Much finer than your ordinary
private houses ?"
Certainly. None Of our private
houses is as large and beautiful as
this" was the response.
Il suppose you have your women
here your mothers and sisters and
wives and daughters. OF course, you
must have them here to enjoy your
beautiful house with YOU
why, no. 1t is against the rules.
They are not allowed here at ALL
"Why not ~ said the minister.

Southern Chautauqua Gives
Five Interesting Programs

The Southern Chautauqua, which
came to. Carthage this year, completed
its fve-day program last Tuesday
evening. One of the pleasing features
of the closing evening was the junior
chautauqua or pageant given by the
children, under the direction of Miss
Florence Berry Heisser.
The Chautauqua was clean and
wholesome, and no better was ever
brought to Carthage than that given
by the Southern Chautauqua Service
this week. Each program was rem
dered by artists and the character of
entertainment given by these peope
is such as to inspire the patrons to
better and nobler things. The music
al and comedy numbers were of, the
highest order of entertainment, and
the lectures were brimful of inspira-
ton and instruction.
On account of the lack of interest
by the people of this community, how
ever, the chautauqua was not signed
to return next year.

Notice To Disabled
Ex-Service Men

The Bureau of War Risk Insurance
is carrying on a cleanup campaign
to gather together at the earliest pos
sible date all reports of physical ex-
aminations which have been requested
of claimants, but for which they have
not reported.
It is absolutely impossible for the
Bureau to adjudicate a claim unless
the claimant reports for physical ex-
animation when requested to do so.
The Bureau wishes to settle all
claims as quickly as possible but is
powerless to act without the co-opera-
ton of the claimant. The Bureau
therefore asks that all disabled ex-
service men who have been requested
to report for physical examination do
so Immediately in order that their
claims may be settled.
Remember that cooperation is the
kenynote of success.
