TWO LADIES SUFFER SLIGHT
INJURIES IN MOTOR CRASH
MRS. GEORGE II. DRAPER (NEE
MISS ELIZABETH JOSEPHS)
And Miss Catherine Bowen of Smyr-
ma, Thrown From Draper Car In
Collision at Wilmington

Mrs. George H. Draper of Milford,
(nee Miss Elizabeth Jaseph formerly
of Smyrna), and Miss Catherine Bow
en-, Smyrna, were injured in an auto
mobile collision shortly before one
o'clock Saturday afternoon at the in
tersection of French and Sixth streets
while on a trip to Wilmington. The
women were in an Oakland coupe
driven by George H. Draper, Milford
and were proceeding down French
street. At Sixth a seven-passenger
Chalmers, occupied by Stanley Reszki,
901 Elm street, and DR.. c. c. Neese,
301 South Jackson street both of Will
mington, and the coupe came together
with a crash heard for blocks. The
coupe from Milford was turned COM
pletely over by the impact, smashing
a fender, steering wheel and glass
windows. Passers-by assisted the oc-
cupants to climb out of the door and
windows on the upper side. Someone
sent for the police ambulance, but be-
fore it arrived the two women were
taken to the Delaware Hospital, in an
other automobile. Mrs. Draper COM
planned of injuries about the neck
while Miss Bowen was thought tC
have a sprained wrist. Mr.. Draper
has a cut on his face. How the three
escaped more severe injuries seemed {
miracle. The Draper car had the
right of way and witnesses declare
the Reszki car to have violated traffic
rules and therefore responsible fOl
the accident. Friends of the Draper!
and Miss Bowen are glad to learn the
injuries are no worse and hope fo1
their speedy recovery.

LIVELY INTEREST IN LAST
REGISTRATION DAY IN KENT
MANY DISTRICTS SHOW A FALL
ING OFF FROM TWO YEARS AGO
Smyrna and Duck Creek Hundred
Come Up With 1917 Qualified VOt-
ers. 80 Short of Last Registration

The last registration day before the
general election, was held Saturday
and there was the usual activity to
get everybody on the list of qualified
voters. The two districts in Smyrna
have put on a total of 1917 names,
thirty-nine short of the registration
two years ago which totalled 1856.
But when it is figured this is not
presidential election and an off year,
the showing of the number qualified
is very good. The first election dis
trict, Mrs. Mary Westfall, registrar,
put on 123 names Saturday, bringing
its total up to $40 and the second cleo
ton district, w. 7. Dayett, registrar,
put on $50 names bringing its total
to 1907. Saturdays registration
throughout Kent county, while fairly
successful in many districts, shows a
material falling off from two years
ago. Many women refused to regis
ter. About 5,400 men and women in
Wilmington are registered and quail
fled to vote at the election on Novem-
ber 7. Over 5000 were added to the
list on Saturday. In 1920 the total
registration was 47,218, of whom 49,
069 registered on the last day. In
1918 the total registration (only men
being eligible to register) was about
$4,000. 1t is estimated that $4,000
men and women in Wilmington are
eligible to vote, if all were registered
which means that nearly $4,000 are
disqualified. No effort was spared OF
Saturday to get out the registration
men and women working toward this
end, but they were only partially sue
/ ceSSful.

CIVIL WAR SURVIVORS MEET
Veterans of First Delaware Regiment
Now Only 20 Strong, Assemble in
Wilmington for Annual Reunion

Twenty survivors of the First Del
aware Regiment Volunteers who
fought thru the biggest battles of the
civil war, including the bloody angle
of Gettysburg, met in annual reunion
in the Irish American Hall at Will
mington, Friday and reoounted those
days of the rebellion that tried mems
souls. Of the Smyrna vicinity which
once had lively post there is only
one survivor of the First Delaware
John L. Boyd of Smyrna. In the past
few years there have been an unusual
number of deaths among Grand Army
veterans until now only a few remain.
What other veterans are now in and
around Smyrna were members of
other regiments not the First Della
ware. In 1861 the First Delaware
was 1000 strong but the disastrous
battle'of Antietam and the ravages of
death have left but twenty of the or
iginal number. Last year six of the
veterans died. Because of their
dwindling number it was suggested at
the meeting Friday in Wilmington to
combine the survivors of the three
! Delaware regiments into one assOcia-
ton. 1t is probable that the presi-
dent of the First Delaware will confer
with the heads of the other regiments,
relative to such a proposition. Adju-
tant-General j. Austin Ellison speak
ing at the Friday afternoon session
assured the convention that the colors
of the regiment now in storage will
soon be placed in appropriate moth
and dust proof cases and placed ii
either the State Capitol at Dover OF
in the Municipal Building. The pres
ent officers were reelected for the en-
suing year as follows: William w
Davis, president; J. G. Raymond, frs
vice-president; f. F. Prettyman, sec
ond vice-president; James B. Walls
third vice-president; NJ. B. Hobbs
chaplain, and John NJ. Smith, secre
tary and treasurer. The oldest living
member of the regiment is Daniel w
Peterson, aged 80. The two yOunges
survivors of the organization ar
John NJ. Smith and Charles H. Bruen
both aged II. The latter left afte
the session to view the old battle fiel,
at Antietam, where he took part il
the famous battle. Both he and Smitl
were orderlies on General Thomas A
Smyth's staff during the war. Rev
-Ivanhoe Willis gave an interesting
talk, in which he outlined all the war
of the country from the Revolution t
the late World War. 1t was decide
to hold the next reunion at Marshall
ton NJ. E. Church, the date to be an
nounced later.

BIG SWEET POTATO CROPS
Delaware's Production For Year Esti-
mated 1,35S,O0O Bushels Average
ing 800 Baskets Per Acre


According to condition and produc-
tion forecasts of the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics for October, a de-
crease of 100000 bushels is shown
from the estimates of a month ago.
The crop for 1922 as estimated on Oc-
tober l, is 105, 100000 bushels, and the
total production for 1921 was 98,66O,-
600 bushels, thus showing a produc-
tion increase of 6,830,000 bushels over
last year. 1t is estimated that Della
wares production this year will be l.
358,000 bushels, the total production
for 1921 was 100000 bushels, showing
an increase this year of 458,000
bushels or more than so per cent more
than last year. According to official
estimates Delaware ranks fifteenth
among all the states in the Union in
producing sweet potatoes, being
slightly ahead of Maryland which is
credited with 1,348,OOO bushels. The
State Board of Agriculture, through
its division of markets has been study
ing conditions in regard to sweet po-
tatOes and finds many fields showing
a production of approximately 500
baskets per acre. Sussex county pro-
duces practically all of Delaware's
commercial crop of sweet potatoes,
the vicinity of Laurel and Seaford be-
ing the heaviest producing center and
in spite of the fact that increased
storage space has been made avail
able there is a decided shortage of
storage space and many growers have
been forced to market a part of their
crop even at the prevailing low prices.
This shortage of storage space also
applies to other sections of the coun-
try and they likewise have been forced
to put some of their crop on the mar
ket, and this condition, it is believed,
is largely responsible for the low
prices at this time, and there is a
general feeling that after this stock
is cleaned up and the demand for stor-
age stock is felt, that higher prices
will prevail. At the present time
growers are receiving from Is to Is
cents per basket for the Big Stem
and other like varieties and about q
per cent per basket for the Up River
Big Leaf and other varieties of equal
quality, the difference in price is due
to the superiority of the latter named
varieties in keeping quality,

$1,000 OFFER CEMETERY FUND
S. H. Baynard, Former Smyrnian,
Would Abandon Old NJ. f. Cemetery

>. IL. Baynard, FORMER Smyrnlan,
Would Abandon Old NJ. E. Cemetery
Samuel H. Baynard, of Wilmington,
has offered $1,000 toward a fund to
move the bodies in~the old Methodist
Cemetery on North Delaware street,
formerly Church Street, Immediate
ly back of the Bell property and con-
vert the lot into a community play
ground. For sometime there has been
noticed the carless abandon with which
this old sacred burrying ground is
kept up and feeling there are enough
relatives having their dead buried
there to move the bodies to Glenwood
NJ. +. Cemetery or other burrying
grounds, Mr.. Baynard makes the of
fer above mentioned. When all the
bodies are moved he would like to see
this "silent acre" converted into a play
ground for the use of the children.
Mr.. Baynard has interested MrWalter
G.. Tatnal of this town in the matter
and together they are looking into the
feasibility and cost of the project with
the hope of accomplishing something
definite thru the cooperation of the
Board of Trustees of Asbury NJ. E.
| Church, who control this property
The old Methodist Cemetery is one OF
the oldest burrying grounds in this
part of the State. The first Metho-
dist Episcopal Church in Smyrna
stood in the corner of the lot and
many prominent Smyrnians were
buried there. If those having rela.
tives buried on this spot will move
them at their own expense, Mr.. Bay
nard's offer will take care of the re
moval of those having no relatives
The keeping up of this old cemetery
entails expense evry year and as tim,
goes on it is found more difficult II
preserve it in the way it should. Will
newer and better cemeteries all abou
Smyrna there seems but little neet
(outside of sentiment) to keep up tn
old Cemetery. Mr.. Tatnal would b.
glad to hear from those having rela
tives buried there and what the,
think of the proposed plan.

Caesar Rodney, dupont, Harrington,
Laurel, Lewes Newark and Seaford.
Practically all of the visiting delega-
tions came in automobile or auto
trucks and so successfully was the
meet it is planned to make it an an
nual affair. Members of the Agricul-
tural Club of the University, headed
by Wallace Cook, acted as hosts to
the young prospective farmers and
took them on inspection trips over the
experiment farm and through the
University buildings. The work on
the farm was explained to the boys
by the various members of the Expert
ment Station staff as follows: Agron-
Omy plots, Professors Schuster and
Runk and Mr.. Pence; orchards, Pro-
fessors Detjen and Clark; dairying,
Prof. Baker; poultry, Mr.. Mumford;
and swine, Mr.. Tomhave. At a picnic
lunch on the University farm lawn,
the "Aggie"Club was served cocoa and
apples, after which the boys in charge
of Mr.. Armstrong, State Director of
Vocational Agriculture, played games
DR.. r. w. Helm, State Director of Vo-
cational Education, gave a short talk
in which he pointed out the import
ance of agriculture. He said that
while the total revenue of all the rail-
roads in the country in 1919 was five
billions of dollars; the revenue of the
coal industry one and a half billions
and the steel industry one billion, fol
the same year 1919 the farm products
of the country brought II billions OF
dollars. Dean Charles A. McCue
baad of tho School of ArY;c,,1fura "a
the University of Delaware, gave a
short talk pointing out the importance
of agriculture in Delaware, and DR.. H
V. Holloway, State Superintendent Of
Public Instruction, also gave the
young students talk in which he ex
pressed the hope that many of then
on completing their high school worl
would come to the University of Della
ware.
