and to compile complete statistics of Del
aware packing establishments and the
products canned. This information will be
available to outside purchasers.
In carrying out these line of work, es-
pecially in the standardization of grades
and packages, the bureau hopes to work
in conjunction with the agricultural or
ganizations of the State and secure their
cooperation in the matter. The influence
and publicity of the State newspapers
will also be solicited to create a senti-
ment for progress among the Delaware
producers that will elevate their scale of
standards. The Delaware Grange and
other farmers organizations will be en-
couraged to the end that a Statewide
organization be perfected for the es-
Enlistment of uniform standards.
The Bureau of Markets, as stated, was
created by the last session of the Legis-
lature and carries with it an appropria-
tion of $4,000 for this years work.
The appointment of a manager was
made by the State Board of Agriculture,
and Mr.. Derrickson was selected on ac-
count of his experience in the brokerage
business. Mr.. Derrickson, who formerly
lived at Selbyville, was engaged in the
brokerage business in Clarksburg, w;
Va, for some years. He will be assisted
in his work by the county agents, who
will act jointly with him.
Delaware has been far behind other
states in this line, and it is hoped the
present bureau will place the growers on
an equality with those of California ana
other states, where they are organized.

CIVIL SERVICE ARSrRDITY

In the interest of efficiency the public service it is
well that attention has been called to the manner in which
the classified civil service system has been operating. Too
many people assuming that the classified civil
service plan works with close approach perfection and
that deviation from the system must result in evil AS
matter of fact the system has been enlarged to the
tent of absurdy and in its present operation is of doubt
full public benefit.
In it's original conception the classified civil service
included those employees who perform purely routine SER
vice whose qualifications could be determined fairly
well by competitive examination In recent years it has
been extended to positions of supervisory charac
ter where the personal equation is of consequence
than ability pass a competitive examination The
Ter to make appointments has been practically taken out
of the hands of the who responsible for results
No large or successful private concern in the United
States runs its business on any such principle
The Post Office Department is the largest business en-
terprse in the world 1t the entire United States
It's employees in every city, town and hamlet Yet in
the ultimate workings of the civil service system the
employees of that Department not the selections of
those in charge of the Postal Service but chosen from
list made up by separate commission in way respon
sbe for the efficiency of the Post Office Department Can
any imagine a great manufacturing concern, oil
company, railroad, bank choosing its employees
from list made up by separate outside its
offices?
The relative abilities of clerks, stenographers ac-
cOuntants etc. be determined by competitive eXam
nation better than by any other method and the classified
of employees But the selection and retention of supervis
Ory offcals-those making the connection between the
public and the routine workerss entirely different
matter No competitive test by outside be
as satisfactory from any viewpoint selection based
upon the judgment of the responsible
results.
This administration has promised the country
business in government. There isn't business in
the United States who would willingly undertake to
duct his business with supervisory employees selected for
him by outsiders. He ought not expect Government De-
parment to do it. Neither should the average American
business permit sef-appointed civil service reform
organization to mslead the public to the merits Of the
classified civil service system. Such organizations
usually managed by who have had little if any pract
cal experience in important business undertakings
they have had such experience is safe to say that they
did not permit anyone else to select their chief employees
"Cvl service reform" is term that has been used to
much civil service absurdity, and the the
country finds it out the better for all concerned.

GLENDALE
BY PAUL PRY

The farmers have surely got the
blues, with the sure knowledge oi
another fruitless year. Many farmers
have the jim-jams, and see nothing
but ruin staring them in the face. Nc
fruit, no tomatoes, and no peas, and
nothing to sell is enough to make a
farmer quake in his boots. We can
find no live peach, pear or apple
blossoms, and but few strawberries
The heavy frost, thick ice, and even
snow on Sunday is our weather record
for week.
While Roland Bowers was plowing
in the field for Edwin Wharton, the
plow struck a blind stump with such
force that Mr.. Bowers arm was brok-
en-. A physician was called to set the
fractured bone.
Now Glendale swells with pride,
and has become a great big spot on
the map. The postal authorities have
made us a third-class office and a pos
tai savings bank, where we can de-
posit our savings with Uncle Sam and
grow rich. The greatest benefit is for
our pOstmistress whose salary has
been increased 70 per cent, and she
will not be obliged to sit there from
6 a. m. until 8 p. m. for nothing. AL
together it is great improvement.
While James Williams was in Mil
ford on Saturday his new Ford car
was stolen from the street. Mr.. Will

stripped of it's blankets, and every
movable article was gone.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. F. Derrickson and

Our old and highly esteemed neigh
bor, Mrs. c. T. Milman, now of Will

The fair and social of the Ladies

other State, but the agriculturists have
not been obtaining prices they are en-
titled to because the carriers were not
marked according to a known standard.
Mr.. Derrickson says another matter
that would be given immediate atten-
ton was the establishment of a Market
News service. That a radiophone would
be placed in his office, where market con-
ditiOns and market prices from all sec
tions would be obtained hourly and this
information disseminated to those in the
State who had products to ship. The
method of dissemination has as yet not
been decided upon, but in all probability
telephone communication will be used.

: Chicago, Sept 7-Assertions that ow- ing to drought and heat the corn crop this season would be 38o,000,0 1000 bushels less than was harvested last year had much to do today with an all-around ad-
 vance in the value of grain. Wheat

 to LOT 5-s. Corn finished 1-2 to. 7-s up
 and oats ,1-3 @ 1-4 to 1c. In provisions
 the outcome was unchanged to 12 o 15s

 According to a statement from lead
 ing .authodity. corn has suffered severely
 during the last forty days, with Mime
 sota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kan
 sas showing the greatest damage He
 estimated the total yield at about g. roc, 100000 bushels, and 1t was upon thiE basis that the SSo,0oo,o0o bushels short age. was forecast. Upturns in the price of corn were promptly reflected by the action of wheat. Besides rough weather in Canada appeared likely. to retard the marketing of Canadian wheat and to in jure the quality of a large amount. Some heavy selling which took place on the upward swing of wheat values was ascribed to cash interests here. Declines that eIlsued failed to last, however. and
 gossip was current that export business
 was being under-estimated. The amount of wheat acknowledged as hav- ing been taken for Europe today war 100000 bushels, chiefly Canadian. There was big trade in corn anG the market was strong from the outset but eleventh hour bulls were compelled tc accept heavy offerings from holders who were in a position to realize profits

While the advances were spread over most of the list. they were more pronounced In list of carefully selected stocks, several of which broke through to new high prices for the year.

Mexican oil shares were re- actionary on announcement that the Standard oil of New Jersey had aban- doned development work in the southern Mexican field, but they recovered all or most of their losses before the close.
