The radio station at this Fort has

Lincoln, Neb., Jan. 5.-If the farm

Lowden, former Governor of Illinois,
told the Nebraska Dairyman's Asso-
citation in convention there recently.
'"The farmer believes in the value of
what he produces and knows that it
is indispensable to the world if civiliz-
alton is to go on" he said. "When he
sees that the total value of an unus-
ually large crop is less in the markets
of the world than the value of a small
crop, he SHOWS that something is
wrong in our methods of distribution.
He does not need to be famalier with

100000 bales of cotton ought to be
worth more than 100000 bales; for
each of the 100000 bales will
be genuinely serviceable sooner or la

LITTLE LEGISLATURE" DOVER
misunderstanding Over Authority to
Hold Session Little Legislature

Misunderstanding Over Authority to
Hold Session Little Legislature
1t was ascertained this week, by in
quiry of one of the legislative audit
ing committee appointed by the
Speaker Of the House during the clos
ing days of the 1921 session, that al
though the governor failed to approve
the act passed by the last Legislature
authorizing the appointment of the
joint committee of the Senate and
House, as had been the. custom for
many years, to audit the books and
accounts of State officials and institu-
tions, that the bill as passed, was au-
thorzied by constitutional provision,
Section "a of Article 2 of the State
Constitution reading as follows:
"The State treasurer shall settle his
accounts annually with the General
Assembly or a joint committee there
of, which shall be appointed at every
biennial session"
In connection with the above, all
other State officers accounts have
been examined by this joint commit
tee, appointed bienDially.
The argument advanced at the time
of the presentation of the act last
year, as had been customary in years
past, was that with the increased
powers given the State auditor, the
appointment of this joint committee
was unnecessary. Notwithstanding
this fact, the bill passed both houses
and the House Committee appointed
by Speaker Paskey.
Representative Samuel S. Gray, of
Seaford, one of the House committee
appointed by Speaker Paskey, who
was ip Dover recently, made inquiries
as to the status of the committee, and
the above information disclosed to
him.

About Appointment to Vacancy in
Senate and Party Affairs in State


Buried with the greatest simplicity,
as was his desire, the body of Senator
Penrose Thursday night rested in
brick-lined grave in South Laurel Hill
Cemetery beside that of his father.
The grave situated on a promonotory
overlooking the East River drive of
Paramount Park, was devoid of flow
ers or floral offerings Guards who
were thrown around the grave after
the undertaker's assistants had lower
ed the bronze-lined casket into it
shortly before nine o'clock Thursday
morning, were still there late Thurs
day.
The same great secrecy that sur
rounded the arrangements for the fu-
neral was maintained until the end.
No information beyond the brief ooit-
uary notice in the newspapers that the
funeral would be "strictly private
was given out and it was not known
until the bureau of vital statistics is
sued a permit for interment that the
funeral would be held Thursday.
Only the late senator's three broth
ers, DIR. Charles B., Richard A. F., and
Spencer Penrose and their families;
Leighton C. Taylor, his secretary; and
the nurse who accompanied the body
to Philadelphia from Washington were
in the funeral party. Four autOmo-
biles carried them and the undertake
ers assistants from the Penrose home
to the cemetery and as the small cor
tege passed into the grounds, the gates
were locked and the curious warned
away by the guards. No questions
were answered and no one was permit
ted to see even from a distance the
brief rites with which the late Repub-
lican leader was consigned to the
grave.

JUNIOR FARMERS COURSE
More Than 80 Boys and Girls Assem-.
BILE at University of Delaware


BILE at University of Delaware
More than eighty boys and girls
from all three counties of the State
spent four days at the University of
Delaware, Newark, last week. These
youngsters who are members of vari-
Gus Boys and Girls Clubs were en-
rolled in the Junior Farmers Short
Curse held at that time and practi-
cally all of them by successfully COM
pleting some allotted project during
the year won free scholarship to the
course which had been offered by
banks, corporations and individuals.
1t was the third annual Junior
Short Course and it has grown to
such an extent since started in 1919
that the prospects are it will be held
! during the summer months in the fu-
ture when a more elaborate program
can be prepared.
! A. D. Cobb, State Club Leader, was
in charge of the course and busy
program had been arranged. AS the
university students were at home for
their Christmas holidays the boys and
girls had the advantage of what uni
versity equipment was necessary for
the course. The young visitors had
sleeping quarters under chaperone's
in the dormitories and eat their meals
at the University Commons.
The course consisted of lectures,
practical demonstration of club work,
etc. The visit was thoroughly enjoy
ed by the visitors. One feature that
was especially enjoyable to the young
club members was the athletic exer-
cises each day in the university gym
nasium under trained instructors, that
being a part of the course.
One of the lectures who was well
coined by the students as an old friend
was Theodore T. Martin, of Spring
field, Mass, former State Club Lead
er. 1t was under Mr.. Martins direc-
tion that the short course was started
in 1919 and most of the Boys and
Girls clubs of the State were also or
ganized under his direction. He was
given an ovation the evening that he
addressed the students.
Assisting SIr. Cobb in the conduct
of the course were: Miss Kathryn
Woods, State Demonstration Agent;
Miss Agnes P Medill, Miss Dorothy
Emerson and Miss Helen L. Comstock

ROAD WORK UPSTATE
New Castle County Needs $250,000 to
Accomplish it's Program of Roads

Unless New Castle county succeeds
in obtaining an appropriation of $780,
900 State aid from the State Highway
Commission, the Levy Court will be
seriously handicapped in carrying out
its comprehensive roadbuilding pro-
gram. The Legislature recently au-
thorized a bond issue of 100000 by
the county for the construction of
county roads that are not a part of
the main State highway system, with
the proviso that each dollar expended
by the county shall be matched by
money distributed for State aid.
Members of the New Castle County
Levy Court who conferred with the
State Highway Commission at Dover
recently were disappointed with the
statement that New Castle county
would receive "at least 100000" but
are still confident the Commission will
accede to the request of Levy Court
for an equitable share of the funds
distributed in the three counties.
The State Highway Commission has
already appropriated $750,000 to
Sussex county and $250,0OO to New
Castle county, and has promised Kent
county $500,000. All that New Cas-
tie county is asking is that they re-
ceive an amount which added to that
already appropriated, would parallel
Kent's appropriation. Sussex county
is asking, and will probably receive
some additional State aid.
