Friday Night in kennett
Square

The dairymen and farmers in gen.
eral within a radius of ten miles
around Kennett Square, Pa, are in
vited to be present at big rally to

men.

Producers Association and Dairy
Council feel that the dairymen should
be given a full opportunity to become
advised in regard to recent and pres
ent movements in the marketing stu
alton. The increased consumption
and the Improvement in market price
have been the direct result of CO.
operative effort between the farmer
and his organization. 1t is urged
that as many as possible attend this
meeting on Friday.

If any one doubted the necessity
for school buildings in Delaware he
would quickly be convinced if he
would take trip through the State
and see the quarters into which
Boards of Trustees have been forced
to place the children under their care.
Beginning at the Northern end OF
the State the first point is New
Castle. Despite the fact that the
Board of Education last summer
erected portable buildings to accom-
modate four grades the major part OF
the high school is in building not
the property of the school district, a
building which dates back almost to
the days of the Revolution; and some
classes meet in rooms in an old Court
House built by William Penn.
In Delaware City they have for sew
eral years used rooms in the Episco-
pal Church and have recently occu-
pied the Sunday School Room of the
Methodist Church. This is the second
wear that classes have met in rooms
over a drug store several blocks from
the main building.
In St. Georges a part of the school
meets in a room over a store right at
the fork of the busiest highway in the
State.
In Middletown 372 children attend
school but the school authorities dc
not own a single building. The main
school meets in an old Academy which
is rented. One class meets in the
parlor of neighboring dwelling and
two in the Parish House Of the
Episcopal Church One class meets
in what used to be a club or field
house in the old days.
In Clayton classes meet in three
room structure which has been added
to the older building by private citi
zens and rented to the State.
In Frederick, while the building
called a High School is not rented, il
is merely a dwelling which is not a
all adapted for school purposes. L
was purchased by the old County
Board of Education for temporar!
use because it could not be rented,
In Milford the reason there are no
some rented quarters is because m
rooms are available. However, TIL
District has loaned to it by the Della
ware School Auxiliary Association
two portable buildings that accommo
date three classes.
In Milton both the Masonic an
Odd Fellows Halls haze been take
over for school purposes, one elias
meeting on the lower floor of each.
In Georgetown, one class meets i

American Farmers Are
Not Suffering, But Sore

Unlike the city poor, the farm
poor" rarely ever really suffer for
lack of the essential creature COM
forts necessary to physical existence.
The farm poor" may be in bad
way financially, but they seldom ask
for charity, and, as rule, never be-
come public charges. With the help
of the hen, the COW, the garden and
the sow they get by somehow, in some
way, through even the worst periods
of depression. The farm poor" we
have always with us-just as there
are always poverty-stricken families
in and about the great industrial
centers of population; but just now
there is throughout agricultural
America a vast body of farmers not
to be classed with the element men,
toned above, who are complaining so
bitterly at the existing economic stu
alton that the impression has spread
far and wide that farmers as class
are in acute distress, virtually bank
rupt, and, therefore, practically void
of buying power.
The militant farmer is everywhere
in evidence, not because he is actually
down and out, but because he does
not propose to be altogether submerg
ed if the inequalities he is called upor
to face can be ironed out by the ap
plication of proper remedial measures
and the introduction of practical re
forms, not only in the matter o
marketing and distribution, but il
the fundamental problems of produc
ton as we'll. The militant farme
accuses labor of holding him up bot
coming and going. In his freigh
bills he recognizes the heavy hand G
organized labor. In the price c
everything he has to buy he sees agai
the great part played by the labc
bill in the production costs of all h
machinery and other needed merchal
disc. Along with this he hears col
stantly the complaint of the laborir
man at the high cost of food, and a
this naturally does not set well on tt
farmers stomach. 1t makes him sic

Motorists Plan Fast
Trip Over Highway

Tuesday morning Mr.. L. b. Mil
Ter and Leonard E. Cox of San Fran
cisco drove into Fallon from Salt
Lake City in a new Elgin six cylin-
der car. Mr.. Miller stated the car
was unloaded at Salt Lake City and
they were breaking it In preparatory
to their San Francisco Chicago run
over the Lincoln Highway which
starts July 10 at a. m. from San
Francisco and will be finished in
Chicago Thursday morning, July IS,
at o'clock.
Mr.. Miller is an enthusiastic Lin
coin Highway man and says that
"every person along this route is
more than ready and willing to as
sist the traveller on his way; that the
highway is so well marked across
the country. blind man could fol-
low the trail
This projected trip is taken by
Mr.. Miller at his own expense to
prove that there is at least one COM
plete highway across the continent
The present record time stands at
81 hours, made by relaying a car
across the country-16 drivers be-
ing used-each taking the car over
his assigned zone and turning the
car over to the next man. When
this record was made the course was
marked by flags and each driver was
thoroughly familiar with every inch
of the road he was to cover.
On this trip Miller will do as he
did year ago, drive the entire dis
tance without the assistance of re-
lief drivers. He says further know
ing how well the Lincoln Highway
is marked, and knowing the loyalty
of the Consuls of the Lincoln High
way Association feel that a won
derful opportunity presents itself to
prove to the motoring world that
there is transeontinental route ov-
er which one driver assisted only by
the local supporters along the route
can outdo the efforts of these sixteen
men, who selected a route other
than the Lincoln Highway"

and prefers motoring to golf or any
of the other outdoor sports. Twen-
ty-six years ago he made the trip
from New York to San Francisco on
bicycle.
The car is scheduled to arrive in
Fallon Monday afternoon at 2:15
and its coming will be announced
by the aid of siren horn attached
to his machine.
Mr.. Miller expects to make the
entire distance of 2413 miles in sew
enty-fve hours which will beat the
present record by nine hours.
Mr.. Miller is most enthusiastic
over the progress Nevada is making
toward good roads and feels conf
dent only few years will elapse un-
til this state has as good cross coun
try roads as any state in the Union.
After a short visit with the local
Consul for the Lincoln Highway AS
sociation, Mr.. l. H. Kent, Miller and
Cox left for Carson City en- route to

SET DATES FOR NEVADA
ROUND UP, SEPT. 2-3-4

September 2, and have been
definitely set as the dates for the
Nevada Round Up for 1922, and
plans are already formulating. un-
der the direction of those whom the
Chamber of Commerce have placed
in charge, that promise to make 1t
the most popular rodeo thus far
arranged by the Reno association.
One of the objects which the COM
mittee has in view is making the
rodeo this year more strictly a Ne
vada and Eastern California affair
in respect to competition. The plan
is to eurtail, and probably entirely
eliminate. the importation of pro-
fessional riders and horses from 9th
er sections. This inaugurates an
endeavor to develop the talent of
the Immediately contingent region,
in the belief that it can be placed
on even competition with any sec
tion in the country for rodeo
achievement.
Another big feature of the eele-
bration will be the night show.
which will be combination of
