Prohibit Ninth Grade

The next school amendment taken
up was that which provides that the
ninth grade cannot be maintained in
any school district unless there are
at least ten pupils in the district who
are ready to undertake the ninth
grade studies. Mr.. Holcomb said this
was the only economical thing to do,
because, with less than ten pupils to
a grade in any district, it becomes too
expensive to maintain that grade. This
bill failed to pass, the vote resulting
IL in favor of it and 16 against it. 1t
required a majority of 18 votes to
pass it.
The next of the school bills con-
sidered was decisively defeated by a
vote of % to 11.This measure provid
ed that the trustees or the Board of
Education in any district in the State
should appoint the teachers for the

FRUIT GROWERS MET AT DOVER
Met With State Board of Agriculture
Concerning Exhibit In New York

In response to a call issued by the
State Board of Agriculture to deter
mine whether the fruit growers of
Delaware desire to make an exhibit
of Delaware fruit in New York this
fall, large gathering or representa-
tive fruit growers met with the State
Board at Dover Tuesday afternoon of
last week. w. T. Derrickson, Direc-
tor of the Bureau of Markets, explain
ed that the Eastern States have
agreed to hold an exhibition of fruit
at the Grand Central Palace, New
York City, November 3 to 10 and that
space has been assigned to Delaware
of 1,5OO square feet. 1t was explain
ed further that exhibitors will be al
lowed to sell fruit either at wholesale
or retail, the rent for space at the
show being S1.25 a square foot, or
about $1,000 for Delaware's square,
with some extra expense for erection
of booths, decorations, etc. The grow
ers were enthusiastic over the matter
but felt that the Legislature should
make an appropriation to cover a part
of the expense, the growers furnishing
the fruit, paying transportation and
other expenses. As a consensus of
opinion along this line, the chairman
of the meeting, former State Senator
Oliver A. Newton, appointed this COM
mittee to secure the appropriation if
possible and make arrangements for
/ the exhibition. United States Senator
Thomas F. Bayard, Josiah Marvel

ing; Dr.. w. NJ. Wine, Woodside; John
Ponder, Milton; MIC. Vaughn, George

in few days, after which another
general meeting of the fruit growers
will be held and arrangements com.
pleted for the exhibition. Senator
Bayard stated that Delaware fruit
without a question is superior il
quality to that of western fruit anC
equally as fine in appearance, anC
that an exhibit of Delaware's frui
would but prove this statement NOR,

Economic Error

New jerseys forests are being
burned up at the rate of 10000 acres
a year, which means not only that her
area Of growing forests is being re-
duced annually to that extent, but
that land which should become a pub
lie asset of great value is being con
verted into a public liability Of un-
slightly and embarrassing proportions.
There are 100000 acres Of forest

A 22.5oo-Rnhls stamn.

The soviet postal service Of Russia
has just issued for the benefit OF the
famished people Of the Volga, a
postage stamp that, as they say, beats
all records.
1t is a postage stamp Of 225OO
rubles. Stamp collectors will gladly
stick it in their albums, the more so
since the purchase of this vignette
will not ruin them.
In issuing this novelty the soviet
posts FASTENED to establish the par
ity" Of the modern ruble and the for
mer kOpecks that were used in the
times OF the hated czars.
One kOpeck equals 10000 rubles
This new stamp Of 225OO rubles is
therefore worth 2h kopecks (old
Style) that Is. a few cents.
1t is to be added that this stamp
is cOlored flesh tint and mauve and
represents fist clasping a hammer,
with banner bearing humanitarian In

1t is seldom that citizens object to
the building of an improved road, but
such is the fact in Talbot county,
where a large number of property
owners are seeking to stop the build
ing of an improved cement road from
Claiborne to Easton. The roads COM
mission laid out a straight route, in
stead of following the windings of
the old road, figuring that this dis
tance would save considerable money
for the taxpayers, Royal Oak people
are very indignant, claiming that it
cuts up their farms, and as a result
a suit has been started in the federal
courts to stop the road building.

TO PAY BOARD AT WORKHOUsF

Counties Must Give Institution so
Cents for Each Prisoner Committed
The Senate Thursday afternoon, by
a vote of Is to l, re-enacted the law
which provides that each county shall
pay to the trustees of the New Castle
County Workhouse the sum of go
cents day for each prisoner from
these counties cared for in the institu-
tion. William F. Smalley, attorney,
told the Senators it really cost the in
stitutiOn 92 cents a day, but that the
difference of 30 cents was made up by
wise and efficient management. Sen
ator Hopkins thought it would be
cheaper and more economical for each
county to keep it's prisoners at home
and work them on county road con-
struction. Mr.. Smalley explained that
this is not matter that the counties
and the trustees of the WOnxhouse
have anything to do with, and fur
ther, that the Legislature had passed
a law providing that men committed
for more than six months must be
sent to the Workhouse. He said the
prisoners who come out of the New
Castle County Workhouse are in a
better moral and physical condition
than if they had been confined in
either the Jail at Dover or the one at
Georgetown. He praised the manage
ment of the institution; that he knew
the board had made mistakes in the
past, but denied statements of Sena-
tor Cam that the workhouse farm has
been losing proposition. He admit.

A team can not be kept at its

No doubt what the Notre Dame squad
needs most is bit Of rest. They are
getting 1t this week, and besides, the
team was pretty well beaten up in the
Nebraska play.
Out at Butler the opposite is true.

Syracuse, 1t is learned, is now in
