putting the awarding of thousands of
premiums to be given out at the Della
ware State Fair, Lewis P. Randall,
general managed, announced this
week that all the judging would be
done under what is known as the
Scoring System. By this plan every
exhibitor can figure out how his ex-
hibit won a premium or how it failed
to win. The same rule in judging one
exhibit in a department will apply to
every other exhibit in that department.
By this point system every one will
win or lose. In the Women's and chill
dren's needlework and fancy depart
ment the chief qualification is work.
manship. The next in Importance is
cleanliness. In the judging of fruit the
quality will first be considered and the
form and uniformity of the fruit are
next in the scoring process. In can
ming, the flavor, then clearness and
pack arrangements will follow in Or
der. Last year the judges opened many
jars to taste the exhibit for the flavor.
AS a result many of the exhibits fer
mented before the end of the Fair.
This year it has been decided not to
open any of the exhibits, unless there
is a serious doubt in the minds of the
judges. This applies to the stewed
fruits. The jams and jellies that have
a high percentage of sugar used in
their preparation and which will not
easily ferment will be opened at the
discretion of the judges. In the judg-
ing of cake the flavor then the grain
and texture will be the leading points
by the judges.
There will be faster horses, a more
expensive vaudeville program, the
most thrilling automobile races, the
largest Midway, the biggest exhibit of
poultry, cattle, swine, sheep and the
most complete arrangements made for
the checking of automobiles and COM
fort of visitors.

crop for the five years from 1918 to
1922 inclusive of 876,700,000 bushels.
There is now, however, an exception
ally large carry over, estimated at
1S0,000,0OO to 15O,OOO,OOO bushels, from
last year.
The market for wheat is a world
market. The price of wheat is not
governed solely by the supply in the
United States. 1t is regulated by the
total world supply, of which this coun-
try produces only about one-fourth.
Last year Canada raised a bumper
wheat crop, and this year her produc-
ton is also expected to be greater
than the average. Increases in acreage
this year in Europe, India and North
Africa more than make up for acre
age reduction in Canada and the Unit
ed States. India's crop, which has al
ready been harvested, is estimated to
be at least 30,0O0,000 bushels in ex-
cess of it's production last year. The
winter wheat seeded in Russia, which
before the war was the principal
wheat exporting nation in the world,
is reported to be considerably greater
than last year, and a larger spring
wheat acreage in Russia is expected.
On top of this supply it is contend
ed by spectators that the Capper-
Tincher grain futures act, which went
into effect last November, has had
restraining effect on speculation
which has been detrimental to the
price of wheat. In particular, they ar
que, the attempt to have all the great
transactions in wheat reported to
Washington has kept many large deal
ers out of the market, or has restrict
ed their operations and substantially
lowered the total speculative buying
power available for the support of the
market when prices recede.

will be used as basis for test
in an endeavor to show that a
radio message from Chicago can
be heard in every state in the
United States. Messages have fre-
quently been heard from coast to
coast but radio experts assert that
there is no record of any one talk
having been heard in every state
of the Union.
Through the cooperation of the
Chicago Board of Trade the Nation

given permission to broadcast from
the radio station on the Drake Hotel,
which is said to be one of the most
powerful SldClOiiS III llo SOphei y

uAKFs PLANS FOR FRANKLIN GOVERNOR AND SAYS
~BLBO is POLITICAL MPOSsIBIIITY"

pmary-they all admit that Franklin
will be in the second. The antis
won't vote for Bilbo and none Of
our friends should because he has
been their common enemy for sew
cral years-he has not spoken to
me for over two years. You have
seen his dirty interviews about me
in the papers.
Another thing-any sensible man
knows that we can not run safe
with TWO CANDIDATES. Bilbo,
Swep Taylor, and our leading
friends selected Franklin and now
they are trying to betray him. OUR
FRIENDS SHOULD NOT STAND
FOR THIS. You will know best
how to handle this situation, but
Bilbo's entry is dastardly attempt
to ruin our Party and turn this
government over to the common
enemy.
The newspapers are practically
all against US. We must counter
act this by organization. We can
lick the common enemy, but our
only enemy is in our own ranks,
and his name is-Bilbo. have no
feeling against Bilbo, yet his treat
ment of me would warrant any sort
of resentment, but l write for the
good of the Party-we can not run
two candidates; we. can not elect
Bilbo no matter how hard we try;

by doing fast work throughout the

Please let me hear from you at

$1,000 MORE FORDS
SOLD IN MARCH

"More people want Ford Cars
than ever BEFORE" Mr.. c. O. Spring
said today.
Gritty thousand more Fords were
sold at retail in March than in any
.one month in the history of the
Foro Motor Company, according to
word from Detroit. The March
sales totaled 179,764 Cars and
Trucks.
"For a whole year sales have been
running over 100000 month, bring
ing a total of 1,429,979 Ford Cars
and Trucks into use in the United
States alone since April 1, 1922.
"Here in the New Orleans Branch
territory of which this city is a
part, the March sales were 4053, a
big increase over last year for the
same month. The demand for the
Ford is just as great proportionate-
ly right here at home as it is any
WQ6Ie~ else III bHE COuACAy
"The company is now operating
on the greatest manufacturing sche-
dule in its history, SO there are more
Ford Cars being built than ever be-
fore and improvements in all the
different types make the Ford the
best it ever has been.
"And Ford Cars are now easier
to obtain than ever before because
of the new Ford Weekly purchase
Plan which makes it possible for
more families to have a car. Father,
mother, sons and daughters all can
participate in the Plan and it is
rather surprising the number Of
families who are taking advantage
of it so as to enjoy the pleasures
that come with automobile owner

Identification: Morton Downey'
aged twenty-one, medium height

voice.
Note: He'll sing at luncheon

o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
This young chap is. one of the
hits this week at B., F. Keith
Theater where the L4eviathan Bah!d
In playing. But no one seemed 10
know his name and an iHquiring
reviewer had to look him up back
stage. He admitted TO the above
name, and his associates vouched
for his Shipping Board soubriquet
Here's the how of it:
In a, little church in Yonkers a
year ago, a young lad arose and
sang a religious hymn. Unnamed
and unknown, he brought tears to
the eyes of the church-goers. A
Washington attorney, attending the
Sunday services, recognizing the
rare quality of the youthful tenor
voice, Immediately enlisted his in
fluence to aid the singer. With
letters of introduction, he was sent
to famous New York music
master, who brought him to the
notice of the theatrical producers.
With his identity yet ~undisclosed,
his songs captivated the audiences.
His principal number, romancing
new piece named Nv onderful One"
has been followed by continuous
applause, repeatedly interrupting
the playing of the band. The
young artists rendition of that
number, together with an encore,
has lead many TO predict a career
for the new tenor as brilliant as
that of John Mccormack.
Morton Downey was born in Gal
way, Ireland. While still a baby,
he was brought to this country
by his parents. He began his
career as a singer when but eight
years OLD, appearing at benefits
and recitals in New England, in
the vicinity of his new home,
Downey possesses beautiful
tenor voice that is natural gift.
Without the advantage of any
musical training, his voice is
capable of interpreting music in, the
manner of a finished artist. The
singer this summer will be attached
to the Paul Whiteman orchestra
furnishing music on the giant
Leviathan. after which he viii
prepare for the concert stage.

SONS OF DELAWARE
WILL VISIT OUR STATE

The annual outing and dinner of the
Sons of Delaware of Philadelphia
will be held this year at Newark on
Saturday, May 18th. Very elaborate
plans for the entertainment of the Wis
iting guests have been made by the
town authorities of Newark, in addi-
ton to which the University of Della
ware officials are taking an active part
in the preparation for the visit. At
the Woman's College an elaborate
May Day program has been arranged.
The ceremonies will start promptly at
1870 o'clock. At the University of
Delaware a snappy baseball game will
be played between Western Maryland
and Delaware. This game will start at
2:45 o'clock. In the evening at $50 a
dinner will be served in Old College
Hall. The speakers at the dinner will
be Hon. Edwin C. Stokes, former gov
ernor of New Jersey, and Milton Far
old Nichols, of Philadelphia.
A special feature of the outing is
a general invitation to all Delawar-
cans to visit Newark on the occasion
of the visit of the Sons of Delaware.
At the dinner any Delawarean may at
tend provided he pays for his plate.
