bob" BRICE BURIED

| Beyond question the most remark
able funeral tribute ever paid a young
man who had not reached his majority
| in this section was that accorded
Robert Brice, 14-year old son of Hon.
and Mrs. ]. Steele Brice il Yorkville
yesterday afternoon. Bob" as he was
| familiarly known, died in a Gastonia,
! y. G. hospital about II o'clock Sunday

suffering from the malady for several
days and it is believed that it was
brought on by his condition arising
from his attempt TO play a football
game against Winthrop Training
School in Yorkville on November 16.
His body was buried in Rose Hill
cemetery, Yorkville yesterday after
noon following funeral services con-
Quoted in the A. r. p. church by his
former pastor, DR.. J. Lee Oates of Co
lumbia, assisted by Rev. L. +. Gillespie,
d. D., and Rev. r. Tracy Walsh of
Yurkvillc and Rev. w. p. Grier of Clo-
yer. Nearly one thousand people at
tended the funeral. The court of COM
mon pleas which was in session ad-
journed temporarily out of respect to
his memory and TO his father who is
perhaps the most popular member of
the York county Bar Association.
The body of the popular young man
was brought from GastOnia, Sunday
afternoon and carried TO the residence
Of his father on Wright avenue where
it lay until Yesterday afternoon at ,
o'clock when the funeral procession
started to the church. The eighth
grade of the Yorkville graded school of
which the deceased was a member,
formed a special escort OF honor. Six
of the members of the high school
football team of which he was quarter
back and field general were active pail
bearers Those selected for the honor
were his especial "buddies" on that
team and included: Capt. O. +. Grist,

gang sentences that / have imposed
are going to remain hanging over their
heads. If any of these defendants ever
get into any court again on liquor
charges then these sentences will be-
come automatically effective.
"All that will he necessary will be
proof before me, no matter in what
courthouse ! may happen to be. that
they have violated the liquor laws"
The several convicted men who had
been brought into court appeared to he

cnoon upon payment Of fine of $1OO
each were:
VIII Sloop, Dan Coins, Jackson Jer-
nings, Andy Hood, Will Carroll, r. f.

ton, who was convicted of distilling
was also released conditionally. 1t ap-
pcared that Starr had already served
n Jail sentence in connection with the

understanding that il he ever got into
| trouble about liquor again the SEN
tencc held over him would be put into
execution.
d. d. Huffstetler, white, convicted
of transporting liquor and given a
chaingang sentence, was expecting tc
get his liberty this week by the pay

A DAY OF THANKSGIVING.

Governor Harvey issued the annual
THANKSGIVING proclamation for this
state last Saturday. 1t is as follows:
Since the day our forefathers united
in grateful thanksgiving for the bless
ings bestowed upon them, we have
each year paused in our rush of life,
TO commemorate the day and again
unite in an earnest endcavor to cX-
press our gratitude for the indulgence
of our Creator.
"Thercfore, I, Wilson G. Harvey, as
governor of South Carolina, in consid-
Grafton of the many blessings bestow-
ed upon us, do hereby designate and
set part Thursday, the 30th day of No
vcmbcr, as a day of thanksgiving and
prayer to be kept and observed
throughout the state. Let us assem-
ble in our respective places Of worship,
and around the firesides at home, max
ing acknowledgment of his countless
blessings and seeking his guidance in
the perils which may beset our paths
in the years to come.
Given under my hand and the seal
of the Executive department at Colum-
bia. this twenty fourth day of Novem-
bcr, A. D., one thousand nine hundred
twenty-five, and in the one hundred
forty seventh year of the American in
dependence"

The graft in connection with the
building of army cantOnmcnts was
notorious and outrageous. The con-
tracts were let on a basis OF 10 per
cent. plus, and the contractors made
the work cost as much as possible. They
encouraged a disgraceful system OF
sale and resale of material whereby
The price was increased on each trans
action, and in the end the contractor
had a larger sum on which to calcu-
late his ten per cent. Men who would
have been glad to work for s. day
were paid anywhere from s. upward,
and when they tried to earn the money
by giving honest service they were
warned of the danger of working them
selves out of their jobs. The thing was
a public scandal from one end of the
country to the other, especially among
people who saw in the practice such
injustice to the soldiers who were
barring their breasts and Offering their
lives in defense of their country. As
TO whether it will be possible for the
government 10 make these graftcrs
disgurgc. remains to be seen but if it
is possible, an outraged public will re-
jocc at their discontinue.

The Ship Subsidy Bill.


The administration ship subsidy bill
was debated in the house last week.
and after being thrown open to amend
mcnt yesterday, will probably come Ia
a final vote tomorrow.
Although a matter of tremendous
national Importance. the ship subsidy
bill is being fought altogether along
party lines, with only two or three Re-
publicans against it and only two Oh
three Democrats for il.
The argument of the Republicans is
that the foreigners have n monopoly of
the ocean carrying trade, largely be-
cause their respective governments
support shipping by subsidies either
direct or indirect, and America cannot
compete because Of marine laws that
require the employment of American
sailors al higher wages and under more
expensive living conditions. Owners OF
the ships naturally exercise great in
lucncc in the sale of the merchandise
they carry, and as a matter OF course
they discriminate as much as possible
in favor of their own countrymen. The
proposed subsidy, while going TO Amer
lean ship owners, will result in the
saving of many millions of dollars to
the American public, and not only that
it will build up q great merchant ma
rinc that will be efficient and effective
i'm time OF war. They argue also that
for years previous to 1914, Germany
and other marine nations of Europe
maintained lobbies in congress to guard
against any legislation looking to the
development of our merchant marine.
While processing to be in favor OF
developments OF our merchant marine
the Democrats insist that it is n pri-
vatc enterprise that should be left to
private means, and that to give all
these millions to few individual shin
owners is nothing but outrageous graft
They argue even that the bill will help
pay Standard Oil for carrying its own
freight. and the same as to the steel
trust, etc.
That the bill is not perfect is proba
bly, correct. No bill ever is; but at the
same time it is evident that something
should be done TO develop the Ameri-
can merchant marine, and those who
have studied the question most earnest
ly feel that there is very little hope
for such Il cOnsunmation except
through some such measure.

LAWN MAKING LAWS

While there is still snow on the
ground, it is good time to SOW
grass seed and up to May l. Sowing
on the snow is now regarded as an
excellent method, the melting snow
carrying the seed down to the earth
swelled by the moisture and ready to
germinate at the first warm SPELL
Seed any bare or thin spots on the
lawn. If the whole lawn is none too
thick and velvety, it will be a good
idea to give the entire surface re-
seeding and when the weather has
settled a light sprinkling of nitrate of
soda will do wonders toward starting
vigorous growth, or the sprinkling
of some of the balanced commercial
fertilizer specially put up for the
purpose of raking into the lawn. All
are better than the usual custom of
mulching with manure which invari-
ably carries with it a fine crop of
weed seeds which come up and mar
the beauty of the lawn.
An exception, however, is the pull
verized sheep manure, carried by
nearly all seed houses which may be
sprinkled to good advantage and in
it's preparation the seeds of weeds
have been Thoroughly sterilized so that
the trouble will be avoided
Too often people expect fine lawn
without any preparation of the soil.
Grass needs fertility just as much as
any other plant and will do just as
little in the way of flourishing with
out it.
A mixture of seed should always be
selected to fit the soil conditions.
There are dry soil mixtures, heavy
soil mixtures, shady soil mixtures,
tough grasses for frequently used
stretches and so on. 1t is merely
matter of studying seed list and
electing mixture to suit the situa-
ton. 1t will be found much more
satisfactory than applying a general
lawn seed mixture regardless of con-
ditions. A mixture prepared for
sunny open situation will not thrive
in shady location. Neither will
mixture intended for rich sunny soil
thrive in poor light dry soil.

POULTRY MANURE

Poultry manure can be used effect
lively in the garden. 1t is a complete
fertilizer, but for crops like potatoes
turnips, beets, onions and beans, it is
well to use some acid phosphate with
1t. Poultry manure should be kept
dry so that it can be scattered over
the soil at the rate of one pound to
the square yard. Acid phosphate can
be mixed with it at the rate of twelve
pounds to the 100 of poultry manure
or applied directly to the soil alone
with two ounces to the square ward

Gay Week End
For Fraternities
Sigma Phi Epsilon Holds Senior
Farewell Dance in Old
College Commons

The past weekend was truly
social one among the various fraterni-
ties of the University of Delaware
who celebrated the approaching end of
the collegiate year with dances and
house parties on Saturday night.
The Sigma Phi Epsilon Frater-
nity's informal spring dance, which
was attended by many of the alumni
and invited guests as well as by the
active members of the fraternity, was
held in the Commons of Old College.
This was the senior farewell dance,
given in honor of the fourteen Sigma
Phi Epsilon men who will be gradu-
ated from the University in June.
The decorations were very simple,
the lights were covered with red and
purple shades, and banners of the
fraternity and University were dis
played. A large Sigma Phi Epsilon
badge, lighted by tiny electric bulbs
of red and purple, was suspended from
the balcony. The program of plain
white bore the fraternity coat-of-arms.
Among the guests who attended
were William P. Carlon, R. Leonard
Jones, Emmerson Maxwell, Victor
Long, Howard w. Quigley, Louis
Kramer, Robert Hayes, Harry Betz-
mer, William Buchanan and Robert
Johnson.
The patronesses were Mrs. George
Carter, Mrs. George L. Townsend,
Mrs. Harold E. Tiffany, Mrs. Charles
G. Palmer, Mrs. Robert C. Lewis, Mrs.
Carl S. Rankin and Miss E. M. Park
hurst.
The IA graduating seniors are:
George G. Carter, Walter D. Smith,
Robert Foulk, Robert Stewart, Will
lard Triggs, Harold Young, Robert H.
CARL, William F. P. Jacobs, David
R. Almond, Barclay Challenger, Rich
ard Holton, Louis Roemer, Joseph H.
Harper and Alvan Allen.
The members of Sigma Nu frater-
nifty were disappointed in their plans
for a lawn party as the weather's
abrupt change made it impossible for
an out-of-doors affair. They, how
ever, were not to be entirely put out,
and Immediately changed the evenings
entertainment into a house party,
which turned out to be very enjoy
able affair. Dancing offered the chief
entertainment of the evening.
The invited guests were: Paul
Leahy, Richard Thatcher, Clarence
Lowden, George Hammond and A.
Connor. Patronesses were: Miss Dor
othy Aileen Calef and Mrs. Wilson,
both of the Women's College of Della
ware.
Omega Alpha fraternity also held
house party at their home on Quail
ity Hill. Dancing featured the even
ing's entertainment.
The members of Gamma Delta Rho
held their first informal dance in the
Newark Century Club. The ballroom
was decorated in blue, crimson and
gold, the colors of the fraternity;
about the walls were bung banners of
the various fraternal organizations of
the university. The dance was attend
ed by 30 couples, many of whom were
invited guests.
The patronesses were: Miss Laura
V. Clark, Mrs. Charles A. McCue, Mrs.
Lester w. Tarr and Mrs. Charles P. |
Steele.
The university will suspend classes
from 10 o'clock on Tuesday in order
that the students may attend local !
and Wilmington Memorial Day exer-
cises.

Sir Isaac Newton was your age he

books to the world?
Impudent Stude-Yes, and when
George Washington was your age he
