but Jehovah was in a class by Him
self and was supreme. Isaiah fol-
lows with the startling discovery
that God possessed character, He was
Holy. And being personal and holy
He was caring for His people even to

them. "He that toucheth you touch

WINTERKMLNG OF GRAINS
DEPENDS ON MANY FACTORS

While unfavorable winter weather
occasionally damages fall-sown grains
to a considerable extent, statistical
studies indicate that conditions dur
ing the fall do not bear, in general
any material relation to the yield OF
wheat the following summer, but that
the weather during the winter, spring
and early summer months, especially
from March to June, has a much
greater influence on the final output.
Consequently, the Weather Bureau,
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture, points out, wheat may be in poor
condition at the beginning of the win
ter, and with favorable weather later
the Improvement may be such as to
produce satisfactory yields.
When the weather is favorable dur
ing the fall months, grains usually
establish q good roor system and are
less liable to winter injury than when
fall weather is unfaYorable. Winter
damage to grains is usually grouped
under four main heads: Heaving,
smotherlng, direct effect of low tenn
peratures. and drought
Heaving occurs usually on poorly
drained soil in the spring. and is due
to alternate freezing and thawing,
which breaks the riots or lifts the
plants from the soil and leaves the
roots exposed to the air.
Smothering occurs when the ground
is covered with an ice sheet, at when
snow freezes. IT is sometimes
caused by glaze covering the plants.
When snow protection is absent,
plants are sometimes killed by the d.
rect effect of cold on the tissues. This
kind of injury usually increases with
the degree and duration of the cold,
but sudden freeze may do great
deal of harm, especially in the spring.
Winter drought may also cause injury,
though it is less frequent than other

DELAWARE HELD 1900
SLAVES WHEN LINCOLN
SIGNED PROCLAMATION
January 1st, 1928, Was the 59th Anni-
versary of Emancipation PrOcla-
nation; President Had Been
Willing in 1861 to Pay
$5OO.OO Apiece

January 1st, 192S-New Years Day
marked the 59th anniversary of one
of the greatest events in American
history-the signing of the Emancipa-
ton Proclamation by President Abra-
ham Lincoln, whereby three million
slaves were freed and the blot of one
man holding another one as a chattel
was wiped from the fair fame of the
United States.
Bishop w. T. Vernon, of West Afri-
ca, was the principal speaker at the
Emancipation Day celebration held in
Bethel A. M. E. Church, Wilmington,
that evening. The meeting was held
under the auspices of various civic
and religious societies of Delaware.
II was on January 1, 1858, that the
Great EmancipatOr set his hand and
seal to the document that was to
strike the death knell to slavery, or
it's return. While its provisions were
not applicable to the loyal border
states, such as Delaware, these states
freeing their slaves later.
In Delaware at the time of the Proc
lamation, there were in excess of $500
slaves. The number given by George
P. Fisher to President Lincoln in 1860,
at the time the President was seeking
to devise some method to pay for the
slaves and thus settle the question on
an amicable basis, was 174S; lS41 OF
them being in Sussex county; 2OS in
Kent and 2O4 in New Castle. There
were thousands of free negroes in the
State.
Although Lincoln cut the GOrdian
knot when he freed the slaves, be was
willing, in Nov. 1861, to compensate
the owners of slaves in Delaware for
their property. Lincoln thought $500
would be sufficient, but in discussing
the subject with Mr.. Fisher, he agreed
to offer $500 each.
The plan, if it had gone through,
would have netted Delaware owners
$4,000 in ten years, or at the rate OF
100000 per year. The attempt failed |
in the Delaware Legislature through |
inability to secure the support OF the |
one man who was elected as Lincoln
representative.
Perhaps the most interesting fact in
with slavery in Delaware
is that the Constitution of 1776 con-
tains the following in Article 26:-
No person hereafter imported into
this State from Africa ought to be
held in slavery under any pretence
whatever; and no Negro, Indian or
NIulatto slave ought to be brought in
to this State for sale from any part
Of the world.
This clause disappeared in the Con
stitution of 1892.
On February 10, 1S47, Harvey Sway l
ne, an abolitionist from Centreville,
introduced a bill in the Legislature
@ abolish slavery. This measure pass
ID the house and failed in the Senate ,
~ only one vote-that of the Speaker.

HIGH WHEAT PRICES
RENEFIT FARMEF

European conditions, regarded as
certain to affect the American agri-
cultural industry favorably, are re-
flected in year-end reports from rep
resentatives of the Department Of
commerce abroad, which declare posi-
lively that European grain import re-
quirements will exceed those of the
last cereal year. The situation appears
to react to the benefit of the Euro
pean farmers as WELL according to
the reports.
From the beginning of the present
cereal year on August to December
%, European purchases of American
wheat ranged around 18O,000,000> bush
els, or about 12,500,000 more than in
the same period of 1921. The increase
in the transfer of wheat to Europe
therefore, it was said, means better
values eventually for the American
product, while at the same time the
European farmer will profit in higher
prices resulting from increased de-
mand.

Note. About the Eire

At one time during the fire a stream
of water struck, By accident. Alder.
man Eugene Berthiaume, member
Of No. Hose Company. The force
of the stream knocked the alderman
off his feet and partially drenehed
him from head to foot.
As Vincent MeEvoy was in the act
Of picking up a piece Of furniture in
his home, over Duvert's Fabric Shop,
stream Of water broke through a
window on the north side Of the house
and soaked him to the skin.
Fire Chief Thurston did not stop to
dress when he left home for the fire.
Clad in pajamas an inside coat. and
oyereoat and boots, he was early on
the scene and remained on the job un-
til every danger had passed.
When the ruins had somewhat
cooled, search was made for things
that may have escaped the greedy
flames. A quantity Of liquor, in the
basement of Donahue's drug store,
some bottles of which had burst and
some still intact, were found. These
latter were removed in a truck to Il
safe place. There were many by
ISLANDERS who licked their lips as the
wet goods were taken away.
Attorneys Torrey & Geissler and
Attorney A. s. Macdonald will oeeu-
Ply temporary quarters in the law IL
brary of the Superior court. where
they will consult clients and other
wise conduct business.
When the safe of Torrey 6 Gels
sler was opened, it was found that its
contents were practically undamag-
ed. The records of the Building &

bit. Judge Geissler states that pur-
chasers of association shares may pay
