SALISBURY GUNNERS PAY BIG
PRICE FOR DELAWARE DUCKS
THREE UNLICENSED HUNTERS
ARRESTED AT SALISBURY, MD.
Two Abandon Car, Guns and Game

Caught and Fined $3.50

Charged with cunning in Delaware
without a license, Clayton LOkey,
Marshall Mitchell and Wallace Lokey,
of Salisbury, Md, were arrested on
Monday afternoon by Game Warden
Fred Marvil, of Laurel, while cunning

brought before Justice of the Peace
William H. Wilson of Georgetown,
who imposed a fine of $50 and costs
on each. There were five men in the
party, none of whom had a Delaware
license to shoot wild game. Two of
the men while coming to Georgetown
from Rehoboth Beach, left their car
on the pretense that they were going
to get some cigarettes in a country
store, near Gravelly Hill. When they
got out of the car, instead of going
to the store, they headed for a wood
nearby and nothing has been seen or
heard of them since.
Warden Marvil was leading the way
for the party and was not aware that
two of the men had escaped until in
formed by the other three men. Their
guns and several ducks found in the
car were confscated by the officer
Mitchell and the two Lokey mer

180 days from 9 to o'clock with an
hour intermission at noon and fifteen
minute intermission in the morning
and afternoon.
In the resolution passed by the
board, the School Trustees or Boards
of Education are permitted to dismiss
the schools in their districts before
the regular closing hour of o'clock
provided the school days in the year
are increased to such a number as
shall make up for the daily loss in
time resulting from early closing.
Any board of trustees which does this
is required to notify the State Board
in advance of such a change.
Several schools in the State have
been closing at 2 o'clock in the after
noon. Consequently, in such cases.
the days of the school year will be ac-
cordingly more. In such instances
the teachers are willing to teach few
er hours per day and more days.
While it is intimated that the reso-
lutiOns passed by the board will &c
into effect at once, official notice has
not been received at the county office

NJ. o. PENCE LEAVES DELAWARE
Agriculture Expert to be AgrOnOmy
Specialist at Perdue

M. o. Pence, one of the best known
members of the Agricultural EXten-
sion Division of the University of
Delaware who, for seven years has
been county agent leader, has resign
ed, his resignation to take effect on
January /. His successor has not as
yet been named.
Mr.. Pence leaves Delaware to re-
turn to Purdue University, Indiana,
his alma mater, as extension special
ist in agronomy. The Board of Trus-
tees of the University has accepted
the resignation with regret. Previous
to becoming county agent leader, Mr..
Pence for several years was county
agent for Kent county. His work as
county agent leader has taken him to
all parts of the State and he has made
host of friends, especially among
the farmers of Delaware. During his
many years of connection with the
Extension Division Mr.. Pence has as
sisted in making many crop and farm
surveys and in various other work of
interest and help to the farmers of
the State. He has also served for a
number of years as secretary of the
Delaware State Corn Growers AssO-
citation. He took an active part in the
civic life of Newark during his seven
years residence here and has assisted
thousands of farmers in the State in
solving their farm problems. Mr..
Pence's home was in Indiana before
coming to Delaware and the fact that
his new position will take him back
to his old home has much to do with
his accepting it. His wife has been
seriously i'll in a Baltimore hospital
for some weeks.

HARDEsTY MAY HEAD SENATE
r. NJ. Wingate Will Likely Be Re
elected Secretary of Upper Body

Democrats in the lower counties are
doing considerable speculation as to
the organization of the State Senate
when the Legislature convenes early
in January. The Senate will again be
controlled by the Democrats who have
a majority of one in that body which
will be composed of nine Democrats
and eight Republicans. The present
indications are that Senator Charles
w. Hardesty, of Dover, who is a hold
over will be elected president-prO-
tenn of the Senate. Senator Hardesty
was chairman Of both the Revised
Statutes and the Education commit
tees at the last session which are two
of the most important committees of
the Senate. The reelection of Ralph
NJ. Wingate, of Rehoboth as Secretary
of the Senate also seems practically
assured. Mr.. Wingate served in that
capacity two years ago. He made an
efficient officer and was popular with
both Democratic and Republican mem
bers. It is reported that several wom-
en- are candidates for other Offices in
the Senate.

GUNNERS BLOCKED BY OLD LAW
Farmers Maintain Right to Keep
Hunters of Tillable Property

Farmers throughout the lower sec
tiOn of the State have posted the
usual notices warning gunners off
their properties, and as happened in
former years there has been a great
protest because spOrtSmen have al
ways held that birds and rabbits were
public property and not something
that could be regulated by the owners
of the land over which they wander
ed. This is one of those long-winded
controversies that will never be set
tied to the satisfaction of either
party. The State fixes the date for
the opening of the seasons and the
gunners are given licenses, but if
they do not have anywhere to hunt
they are brought up against blank
wall.
Many of the farmers are not dis
posed to be arbitrary or block the
way to the average hunter from hav-
ing some good sport, but so many
men have come from the cities and
violated all the laws of property that
they feel that they must take recourse
to the law.
1t is argued that some gunners
when going through the wood, will
throw their rabbit traps, and in some
instances they have been known to
shoot chickens just for the sport.
Throughout the western and central
section of Sussex county there is lit
tie, if any, complaint, but in the east
ern section in the vicinity of the Del
aware bay and river marshes, much
complaint is heard about some gun
ners killing fowls of the farmers.
This class of gunners is known as
pot hunters and are a great source
of annoyance to the farmers in many
localities.

RURAL TEACHERS WORK SAME
Public School Year in Their District
to Consist of 1870 Days

The school year for the rural schools
in the state has not been changed
from 1870 to 1876 days by the State
Board Of Education at its recent
meeting, according to an explanation
from the county office of the State
Board.
Misleading statements that the year
has been heightened has created
doubt among the rural school teach
ers as to whether or not they will be
compelled TO teach the fifteen extra
days without extra pay. According
to the explanation, the State school
law requires that school be in session
