GENERAL CHANGES
TROOPS ARREST
U. S. MISSIONARY
Suspected of Being a WI
Pei Flu Spy

PEKING, Sept. 23.-The Shanghai
defenders are still holding their own
while the Manchurian forces under
General Chang are engaging the fore
es of WI Pei Flu, in heavy fighting.
Reports would show that so far the
advantage is on the side of Chang.
The few ships, called navy, that
aided in the defense Of Shanghai,
have gone on. an excursion, some say
to join the enemy fleet. It is prob
able that little money succeeded
jim convincing the commander that
right was on the other side. However,
the defaction of the fleet does not
mean much.
Japan Backing Chang?
Reports that Japan is backing Cen
eral Chang are persisting. In view
of the fact that the United States
government, Japan's keenest rival in
the Pacific, is on the side of WI Pei
Flu, it would be reasonable to assume
that Japan would see what use it
could make of Chang.
According to a report from Muk-
den, Chang's troops arrested an
American missionary bearing a pass
port signed by WI Pei Flu. Chang is
of the opinion that the missionary is
a spy.

The II automobile companies in the
list were almost wholly responsible
for the fact that aggregate profits for
1924 were under those of 1923. Yet in
spite of the drop of nearly $1,000, 900
in their profits they showed nearly
IA pei. cent on their common stock in
6 months or at a rate approaching of
2S per cent for the year.
Higher Than 1923.
The seven steel companies and IL
oil companies show higher profits than
in 1923. Both groups are handing
their stockholders a return in excess
of IA per cent year. In the case
of the oil companies at least the true
magnitude of the stockholders return
has been concealed by stock divi-
dends.
Take for example the Standard Oil
companies. The owner of a S1OO share
of Standard Oil of Indiana in 1912
now owns $4,000 worth of stock with
out having invested an additional cent.
Therefore per cent return for the
half year really means a profit of $50
per cent on his investment. Similarly
in the case of Standard Oil of New
Jersey a half years return of Z per
cent means 35 per cent on the original
investment or an annual rate of 20
per cent.
While thousands of workers can't
find chance to earn a bare living for
their families, the owners worry about
nothing more than the size of next
years supertax.

BUSINESS ATTRACTS BUSINESS

If you want to do more business yourself, help some
one else to do more. The busy hen soon finds a flock about
her. You can't help yourself without helping someone
else, SO why not admit it and get the benefit?
Business is never forced upon you, but if you are busy
scratching, it won't be long before someone else will be
doing the same thing. They likewise have friends or ac-
Quaintances and they, in turn, others and soon the entire
and finally the entire state is up to the scratch.
You are never happier than when SO busy you scarcely
have time to eat or sleep. Then the world looks brighter,
friendships are stronger and you have less time to find
fault with your %neighbors, your town, your government
or yourself.
Like the bee, we may have to go farther afeld for
honey at times, but Lets Co. the same as the bee. Every
one is your possible customer, none can deny their right to
purchase when and where they please. Your territory is
limited only by your own aggressiveness. Reach out!
The trails leading to your door grow shorter after having
been once travelled.
There are enough ~ Of us, if all of us know the rest Of us,

ouainted, know our own state, know our own products.

OPINIONS ON AND BY THE GREEN

The sport columns tell how a certain eastern golf ex-
pert makes the point that a certain other expert does not
grip his club properly. It may be true. The c~leverest way
yet devised for starting a reputation for your own skill, or
stance personally, at present, we don't know a 'Fbirdie'
from a F"brassie'5, and if we sliced our drive we would
be ignorant as to whether a new ball is allowed or if we
desire to hand down the opinion that John Cook stands too
close to his ball when addressing" it. One should never
speak to anything that cannot be seen. Again we submit
that there is no precedent to be found in the best golfing
guides for the language used by Elmer Styer in addressing
his lost ball. Doc Burgess is q stickler for form but for all
that he has been known to so far forget himself that his
vocal organs neglected to frame, such an apology as is ap-
proved by the etiquette Of the links, on the occasion of the
other side of him getting in the way of and positively inter
fering with the otherwise perfectly good shot Of fellow
player. These are grave faults that should be tolerated
by no well regulated club.

SMYRNA'S FIRE HALL PLANS
Building Committee Accept the John
DOckerty Thompson Design

The Building Committee Of the Cit
liens Hose Company have voted to
accept the John Dockerty Thompson
plans for remOdeling the old building
long known as the Raymond-Hill-D Den
ney-Joseph property which they re-
Gently purchased. Mr.. G. Reynolds
Stevenson Of the committee took the
matter up with the Wilmington archi-
tect last week. 1t will take about
two weeks to draw up the specifca-
tions after which bids will be adver-
tised for and the contract awarded.
Mrs. George NJ. Yates, the present
tenant of the property, will be noti-
fed to vacate the first of September,
at which time our firemen hope to see
work stated. The building will be
remOdeled with an entire new front
and such extensions along the side
next to DeFord's residence as will be
needed to square off the building lines
The building will provide ample
quarters for the fire engine equip
ment on the first floor The second
floor will be used for recreation
rooms, bath and shower baths, &C.,
and the third floor will be converted
into a six room apartment for the
care taker and his family. The build
ing and furnishings will be up-to-date
and modern in every respect and will
cost about $4,000. The Smyrna fire,
men hope to have the new Fire Hall
ready and occupied by the time the
Annual State Firemen's Convention
meets here next July.

GUARD AGAINST THE BEETLE
Motorists Entering Delaware are held
Up and Their Cars or Trucks Close
ly Inspected for japanese Beetle

Motor tourists will be allowed to
pass through the quarantine lines
against the japanese beetle with the
least possible inconvenience, accord
ing to a communication received Mon
day morning from the Department of
Agriculture at Washington The or
der was received at the Wilmington
quarantine station established in the
U. S. Engineer Building at Sixth and
King streets. According to the pro-
visions of the order small lots of cit
rus fruits, such as oranges, lemons
and grape fruit, apples, pears, plums,
peaches and tomatoes also may be
brought through the quarantine cor
don from an infested district without
permit, although they will be sub
ject to the closest inspection. No
fruits or vegetables with tops" or
leaves, however, may pass through
without being subjected to closest
scrutiny by the Government scout
line. Heretofore it has been impOs-
sible for a touring motorist to pass
the quarantine lines with any fruits
without first obtaining a government
permit. The fruits were either con-
tiscated or the party carrying them
turned back to the point from whence
they purchased them and compelled
to obtain a permit. There are now
l9 Federal and two State scouts or
agents on duty on the quarantine line
thrown across the northern boundary
| of Brandywine Hundred. Virtually
every road leading out of or into Del
aware is now seduously guarded both
night and day. Every vehicle is stop
ped and any food products carried by
it are carefully examined. Although
the officials at the beetle headquart-
ers at Wilmington were reticent yes
terday concerning the incident, it was
learned on fair authority that a truck
load of garden plants, coming into
Delaware from Riverton, N. j., the
very center of the japanese beetle
ravages, was recently held up by the
inspectors. Thirty-six beetles were
found in the vegetables and the entire
load was dumped to one side of the
/ road and burned, at a loss of approx
mately $1,000. Nine inspecting cent
ers and six laboratories now have
been established to combat the pest
along the borders of New Jersey,
Pennsylvania and Delaware. Florida,
in addition to California, Massachus-
etts, New Hampshire and Virginia,
has requested immediate notice and
detailed lists of all shipments from
the infected area Of nursery, orna-
mental greenhouse stock.

TO PUNISH DRUNKEN DRIVERS
Secretary of State Alden r. Benson
Determined To Carry Out Law For
Those Who Menance Others

Determined to punish miscreants
who recklessly jeopardize life and
limb, war on drunken motorists who
menace the lives of other motorists
on the state highways and a deter
minatiOn to carry out the state
statutes governing punishment of
such offenders, Secretary of State
Alden r. Benson has announced his
intention, as far as the functioning
Of his Office goes, to render every
aid possible to breaking up this
class of dangerous motorists. The
state statute governing an intoxicat-
ed mOtOrist, according to General
Benson, calls for the Secretary Of
State to revoke his license for a per-
iOd Of one year. 81 propose to carry
this law out to the letter." he said, in
discussing the matter. "Some people
claim that there are always extenuat-
ing circumstances connected with
motor law violations. That may be
true in some instances, but the ones
that are aimed at in this law, l be-
heve, are those reckless, careless in
dividuals who do not care for the
rights or property of others and who
think they can drive as they choose
about this state. There is on the av-
erage more than one license revoked
by my Office every day." said General
Benson, "and as the law reads there
is no other course for me to take. AS
far as my Office is concerned I pro-
pose to follow the law to the letter
and in doing so I think 1 am doing
what is right and proper for the
protection of the great majority of
motorists, who are peaceful, lawabid-
ing citizens, and not of that class
that care nothing for the lives of
others. 1t doesn't matter to me who
the man is that attempts to influence
this office to have the license of some
friend renewed. AS long as the law
stands l shall strive through every
agency Of the Office to see that it is
enforced"

ARREST 2 ON LIQUOR CHARGE
Federal Officers Make Round Up Near

Federal Officers Make Round Up Near
Hazelettville-Men Released on Bail
Federal officers from Wilmington,
acting on information and evidence
they had secured some weeks ago,
Thursday arrested Henry Sheppard
and William Dunback, both white, the
former living near Hazelettville, and
the latter near Sandtown, charging
them with possession and sale of liq-
uor. Both were released in S1,500
bail, to appear before U. S. Commits
siOner J. Pearce Cam, in Wilmington,
on Monday. At Sheppard's place the
agents are alleged to have found
about 80 gallons of corn mash fer
menting. A search failed to disclose
any still in the neighborhood and the
agents were of the opinion that the
mash was for running on what is
known as a Community" still. About
the same amount of mash is alleged
to have been found at Dunback's
place, but no still was in evidence.

Lieutenant MacWilliams of the
State motorcycle police has instituted
a new system whereby he will be en-
abled to reach quickly any officer on

The new plan is known as the flag
ing system" and will be placed in OPP
GRAFTON in a few days. In case of an
accident, or for any reason the lieu
tenant wishes to get in touch with
patrOlman, he will phone to a flag
station on the officers route, and that
station will immediately display a
flag. The passing patrolman seeing
the flag will enter the station and get
into communication with the chief.
If, for any reason, a private indi-
vidual should want an officer he could
phone to the flag station in his Vi
cinity and flag the passing motorcycle
policeman. Various filling stations
on the State Highway will be used
as flag stations. At Milford the
Haven Lake station will be commits

ant Ever Held in Delaware to Take
Place Friday, at Fair. Harrington


The first agricultural parade and
pageant ever held in Delaware to de-
pict agricultural progress will be the
special feature of the Kent Sussex

on the race track. For weeks mem
bers of the Agricultural Extension
Service Of the University of Della

resentative floats and walking groups
to participate in the parade. Farm
organizations, Boys and Girls Clubs,
organized communities and individual
farmers to the number of so competi-
tors are now at work arranging floats
and organization groups who will
compete for the $500 in prizes offer
ed by the Association. In addition to
the competitive entrants the various
state departments and state organiza-
tiOns which have had a part in the
States agricultural development will
participate. This particular time has
been chosen because it happens to be
the tenth anniversary of the Delaware
Agricultural Extension Service which
includes County Agents, Home Eco
nOmics and Boys and Girls Club
work, all of which have been init
mately associated with most of the
movements having to do with farm
progress during the past ten years

trated has come about as a result OF
activities of one or more of these
agencies. Kent County will have

KENTON BOY, BELIEVED DEAD,
BACK AFTER 4 YEARS ABSENCE
HARRY WILDS, SON D. F. WILDS,
RETURNS LIKE PRODIGAL SON
Finds His Devoted Mother Dead But
Other Members of Family Receive
Hlm-Had Been to China


Harry Wilds, son of D. Frank
Wilds, of Kenton, gave his family a
surprise Monday morning when he re-
turned home after an absence of
four years, during which time they
never heard from him and believed he
was dead. His mother had grieved
in vain for her lost son and died a
few years ago without ever knowing
OF his whereabouts. Harry Wilds was
just sixteen years Of age when, one
evening he left KentOn and came os-
tensibly to spend the evening with
his aunt, Mrs. Hattie Wilds Hutchi-
son on Delaware street. He went
from there down town and that was
the last seen of him. Harry sudden
ly decided an adventure and left for
New York and enlisted in the U. S.
Navy. After two years in the SER
vice he located in China where he had
been until he returned to this coun-
try. At Chicago he and another COM
panion had decided to take a motor
trip East. Some distance from Chi
cagO they met with an accident. Their
auto was torn up and his companion
so injured he was rushed to a hospi-
tai where ne died. Young Wilds
boarded a freight and worked his way
East, landing in Smyrna Monday
morning. He at once made his way
to his aunt Hattie Hutchison to learn
the whereabouts of his family. Learn
ing that his mother was dead, he
broke down. He told his aunt Hattie
that time and again he wrote home,
addressing his letters to Smyrna,
their postoffice at the time he left,
but his mother never received his let
ters, the family having moved to Ken
ton. The boy, thinking his mother
and father did not care to hear from
him, discontinued writing. However,
his parents looked in vain for him
and finally believed him dead. The
prodigal son, hearing of his mothers
death then inquired for his father and
brothers. Granville Wilds, who works
at the E. Harris Lattomus meat store
to Smyrna and the meeting of the
two brothers was happy. Later Harry
went to the home of his father, D.
Frank Wilds, and his brothher, Le-
land Wilds, now living together and
the "hOme coming" was an event that
touched the hearts of all. Harry is
no longer a boy full of adventure. He
is a young man of broadened exper-
ience which his travels all over the
world has given him. Delaware, es-
pecially Kenton Hundred, where he
was born and raised, looks good to
him and he has no thought of going
away again. While there is now re-
joicing in the Wilds home and Harry's
father and brothers Overjoyed at his
return there is note of sorrow in the
fact that the boy did not arrive home
before his mother died.
