WALTON'S FOES
win The ELECTION
100000 Majority for Measure to
Allow House to Call Session
Is Indicated.

special election emphasized the over
whelming victory of opponents of Gov
ernor Walton who sponsored con-
stitutional amendment authorizing the
state legislature to convene by its own
call to consider the official acts Of
state officers.
Although the rural vote was pro-
portionately lighter than in the cities
and towns and the total estimated vote
was lessened somewhat as result.
In two counties, Cimarron and Har-
per, with II and 80 respectively, no
election was held because supplies
failed to arrive from the state election
board, and in many other counties in
dividual polling places did not open
because of Misunderstanding growing
out of conflicting orders from the gov.
ernor, the attorney general and the
state election board.
These missing precincts, combined
with the late returns from the coun-
try which were lighter than expected,
served to reduce the early estimate of
a total vote of 100000 made by anti
Walton political leaders.
Such an overwhelming majority has
repudiated Governor Walton's admin
istration that it no longer can be rep
resentative of a small portion of the
people, Representative w. D. McBee,

LEGION TO FATHER ORPHANS
Problem, One of Biggest Facing Or
ganization, Regarded as Con-
tinued Service to Nation.

Caring for orphaned children Of
World war veterans is regarded as
one of the principal problems in the
American LegiOn's plan of continued
service to the nation. Estimates show
that within eleven years after the
close of the war, there will be at
least $4,000 of such children, and the
number is expected to increase so
rapidly that it will entail as much ex-
penditure as does the relief of dis
abled soldiers.
George A. Withers of Clay Center,
Kansas, is chairman of the Legion's
national committee on childrens
homes. Mr.. Withers has given I'M
sparingly of his time during the past
year in research and study of the con-
ditions and methods used in the up
bringing Of veterans dependents. The
committee is composed of Mark T.
Mckee of Michigan, Charles French
Of New Hampshire, William B. Healey
of Pennsylvania, G. A. Warlick of
North Carolina, e. e. Hallenbeck OF
Pennsylvania, Ralph X. Robertson of
New York, and A. II. McKnew of
California. They have prepared an
outline for the Legion's part in such
a program, to be submitted to the
fifth annual convention of the or.
ganization at San Francisco.

Exact procedure of the Legion is
uncertain, and may not be deter
mined until after the convention takes
action. No approval has been given
| to any plans outlined because of the
variance of opinions Of child welfare
workers on the feasibility of certain
methods. Suggestions of placement of
dependent children with near rela-
tives, with financial aid in education !;
location with foster parents; group

der direction of matrons; and insti-
tutional care in orphanages will be in
Guided in the report of the committee
Further plans for education and voca-
tional training will be outlined in the
report.
Work of preparation has been as
sisted by responses to QUESTIONABLE
sent to heads of all Legion depart
ments. 1t has been determined from
these that at least six states already
have provided specific care for those
bereft of parents by the World war,
and in other states plans looking to
Legion cooperation as partial solu-
ton have been prepared. A project
in Washington calls for establishment
of an institution on public lands of
the state, to be financed through eff
forts of the Legion. Michigan now
has an orphanage, known as the
American Legion Children's billet,
under direction of the organization.
Kansas is at work on a plan for ac-
ceptance Of a gift from Daniel Dab
ney, who offered the Legion a large
tract Of land, and an endowment of
$4,000 If the Legion would raise
100000 for a home for dependent
children Of former service men.
Members Of the committee believe
that the care of such children is a re-
sponsibility for the Legion. In a re-
cent letter, Chairman Withers has
summed up the duty of the Legion
men in these words:
These youngsters belong to the
buddies who stood with us in the
trenches, and who were called upon
to make the supreme sacrifice. Can
we. who were spared, do less than to
see to it that those nearest and dear
est to those wonderful boys who gave
their all, shall have the chance that
we would desire for ours, had we been
called on as were they?"

United States Finds Way to Easily
Rad Homes and Communities of Rats
Are you troubled with rats, especi-
ally around the chicken house, garage,
barn, or vegetable garden. Fasten
length Of hose on the end of the ex-
hause from your gasoline engine
whether it be a "fiivver" or a tractor
back the car up within reach of the
rat burrow, and adjust the carburetor
for a rich mixture. Pack damp earth
around the hose at the entrance to the
| hole to seal it. Run the engine at a
moderate speed for 10 minutes or
more and the rats will be destroyed.
This method is entirely practical, ac-
cording to the United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, when there are
only a small number of holes or the
area to be fumigated is not too extern
sive. 1t may be used successfully in
destroying rats beneath floors or in
other places where a concentration of
the gas can be obtained. Community
effort is urged in getting rid of rats
by the above means and also by clean
ing up rubbish, spreading poison bats
setting traps, and rat proofing build
ings. Individual properties from which
rats are eXtermined soon become rein
Tested if there are rats in the neigh
borhood. The Biological Survey, Unit

FROST HARMLESS Is OPINION
Reports From Kent and Sussex COun-
ties Are That no Damage Was Done

ties Are That no Damage Was Done
After two nights of anxiety over
the fruit prospects, owing to the cold
weather, the farmers and truckers of
lower Delaware breathed a sigh of re-
lief Friday morning. After an exam
ination of the crops, they found them
to be safe. While opinions differ as
to whether a slight frost fell early
Friday morning, the prevailing belief
is that if there was any frost (and
this means doubtfuD, it was not
enough to do any damage, even to the
tender tomato plants and sweet pota-
to sprouts. Some farmers claim
very slight frost was discemible early
in the morning, while others failed to
discover it. The prevailing opinion is
that the fruit and vegetable crops are
still safe, and bid fair to bring forth
good yields. Strawberries made their
appearance in the Seaford market last
week.
Fruit growers in all sections of the
State say that strawberries have not
been damaged and that peaches, ap-
pies and pears are beyond any danger
of frost.
Fruit is advanced to such a stage
that it will take more than a light
frost to hurt it. A freeze might dam
age more fruit but not a light frost" :"
This statement was made by a large
fruit grower last week.
As fruit growers ordinarily are pes
/ simists relative to possible damage to
crops by the weather, it is safe to say
that no damage has been done when
all growers agree on that point.
The high wind that accompanied the
fall in temperature saved the fruit
blossoms. Russell E. Wilson, county
farm agent, after cOnferring with a
number of growers, reports that the
conditions show no occasion for alarm.
At the home of Frank Bancroft of
Wyoming, one of the largest growers
in that section, it was stated that af-
ter an examination no fruit was found
to have been injured, but that straw
berries in the lower sections might be
affected to a certain extent.
The last killing frost in lower Del
aware usually occurs in April, and it
is therefore believed that the 1928
fruit crop has passed the danger line.
However, in 1920 the last killing frost
occurred on May 6, and the temper
ature registered as low as 80 degrees
on several days that month. Last
week the mercury was down to 81 in
some places.
