such a manner as to attract two
such interesting and intelligent young
men as these two must necessarily be,
by all means continue to hold their at
tention and respect by not accepting
their invitation, unless of course their
plans are (and doubtless this is the
case) to have some married couples
present, one lady among their number
acting. as hostess, in which case
of course 1t will be perfectly all
right. Often young men are care
less about these things, not real

Dear Miss Brooks:
1 am here again with an important
question. Why is 1t wrong to say
Ought to could?" If you would give
more than one reason and make them
very plain 1t would make me very
happy.
PATTY, Utah.
Ought to could" Doesn't sound right,
ster, the old reliable, and see what he
says about each of these words, fought"
and could" "Ought"-present tense
or past participle of "owe," or may be
used as an auxiliary verb followed by
the 'infinitive" to express moral obli-
cation or practical obligation. to do
something. "Could"-As an auxiliary
verb in past tense or in the conditional
present tense of verb "can." Now Web
ster tells US that the infinitive of the
verb can" Is obsolete; that it, it isn't
used any more. The verb "can" has
no infnitive, but II we use the auxiliary
verb Ought" it requires an infinitive,
and "can" or could" has no infini- |
tive SO we cannot use it, but must Sc
lect some other word or combination of
words to express our idea; hence, we
should say 81 ought to be able" Here
we have the fnf1nitive "to be" and this
is proper. Doesn't it sound better?
Perhaps a similar mistake will explain
1t better. To say II ought to could is
Just as incorrect as to say Il ought to
was" was" Is past tense and we
must use the infinitive In connection
with ought" hence should say II
ought to have been" Is this perfectly
plain to you, Patty? I hope so.

KENT FARM BUREAU NOTES
Kent County Farm Bureau Meets in
Dover and Plan Drive For Members

Kent County Farm Bureau Meets in
Dover and Plan Drive For Members
The Executive Committee of the
Kent County Farm Bureau met at the
County Office on October II with the
following men present, President w.
V. Cosden, Dover; John Roe, Dover;
R. Harry Wilson, Dover; John Heyd,
FELTON,; Ed. Willim, Dover; County
Agent Russell E. Wilson, County
Agent Leader NJ. o. Pence, and Harry
Jones of the State Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton. Owing to the harvesting of
the crops such as corn, apples, sweet
potatoes and the seeding of wheat the
other members of the Executive Com
mittee found it impossible to be pres
ent.
The most important business of the
meeting was the formulating of plans
for the drive for new members, which
will be carried on during the month
of December. Mr.. Cosden has been
chosen as County Director and with
the assistance of the other members
of the Committee will choose the So
licitors and map out the routes which
thew will cover. The solicitors that
are to be chosen are the men who are
we'll known in the different cOmmuni-
ties together with a driver who is ac-
ouainted with the farmers and will
act as a helper.
A number of meetings are to be held
in different communities with local
speakers when it is possible to OBJ
tain one and also farm bureau movies
which will help to explain to the
farmer what the Farm Bureau has ac-
complished.
Mr.. Jones outlined the plans for the
publicity that is to be carried on dur
ing the drive stating that the amount
of publicity that is to be done Is
limited by the finance in State Farm
Bureau. Posters are to be placed II
all of the towns of the County anC
most of the conspicuous places. Ar
ticles written by some of our most re
preventative men who have seen tn
, need of such an organization will ais,
: be run in the papers of the County.
, The next meeting of the EXecutiv
: Committee will be held at the Stat
) Office. the evening of November 5tf
There will be little treat for thos
! who will be present in the way o
doughnuts and sweet cider. A com
e mittee of Mr.. Willim, Mr.. Roe, an
d Mr.. Wilson are taking care of the re
freshments.

SEVEN TALK OVER ONE WIRE
First zone PalT' Phone Cable Links
Santa Catalina Island With
the Mainland.

Making seven conversations flow
where but one flowed before is the en-
cheering achievement credited to tele-
phone engineers, who have just fin
ished laying what Is said to be the
worlds first one-pair submarine tele-
phone cable between Santa Catalina
island off the southern California
coast and the mainland, 25 miles away,
says a dispatch to the New York
World from Avalon.
Before the introduction Of radio tel
ephony island dwellers there had to
depend on the mails for communica-
ton. With the wireless came relief
of a sort, for with the radio linking
the island telephone line with the vast
network Of wires covering the main
land, one could carry on a converse
ton with any point in the United
| States.
Only one conversation could be car
ried on at a time by this method, how
ever, and the conversation usually
found its way into thousands Of anna
teur radio sets as well as the tele-
phone company's receiving device,
thus losing all vestige of privacy.
Now that the One-pair cable is in
place, however, as many as seven con
versations flow simultaneously between
Avalon and the mainland. The inter
esting feature of the One-pair cable il
that the seven conversations flowed
simultaneously over a single strand Of
copper wire in the center of the cable
system Of variated frequencies sim
liar to that used in radio telephOn!
making this possible.
