PEA VINES ARE USED AS FOOD
Experiment Being Tried In Sussex
County Watched With Interest

Experiment Being Tried In Sussex
County Watched With Interest
That pea vines can be utilized for
other purposes than hay is being
demonstrated by Carlton Draper, one
of the members of the. firm of Drap-
er Canning Company of Milton, who
has constructed two large silos at the
factory and now has them filled with
the vines which will be used for
ensilage. Heretofore, the vines have
been considered a waste product of
pea canneries and have been given to
the farmers, who hauled them away
and allowed them to dry out for hay,
which served as an ideal roughage
food for cattle. As far as can be as
certained Mr.. Draper is the first man
in southern Delaware to try out the
experiment Of making ensilage from
pea vines, and the results, no doubt,
will be watched with interest by the
farmers Of his district. If they serve
the same purpose for ensilage that
green corn and other products do,
then it is believed that the farmers in
general will make use of them
throughout southern Delaware. Dur
ing the late spring and early summer,
when pea canneries are in full opera
tion, many tons of vines are allowed
to go to waste unless the farmers
haul them away and use them for
hay. If the plan of Mr.. Draper is
adopted by the growers and packers
throughout this section, it is safe to
say that there will be but few tons
of pea vines allowed to go to waste
next year.

MIDDLETOWN FIREMEN HAPPY
Despite of Year They Take In S1O,-
466 From Carnival and Clear $1,000


466 From Carnival and Clear $4,000
MiddletOwn Firemen's Carnival
which closed its week of attractions
there recently came thru financially
better than expected, notwithstanding
numerous difficulties and the general
financial depression which has existed
in that community for the past year.
The fremen's gross receipts amounted
to S10,466, and their net profits will
exceed $4,000. The gross receipts this
year were nearly $1,000 less than last
year, when the local fire laddies held
the most successful carnival from a
financial standpoint in the State. The
attendance this year was as large as
last year, but the numerous booths
were not as well patronized, owing to
the fact that the people did not have
the cash to spend. On the closing
night the handsome Jewett Brougham
car was awarded to Mr.. w. Earle
Jacobs, of Aberdeen, Md, who was
fortunate enough to hold the lucky
number. Miss Eta c. Wilson, of
Newark, won the radio, and Miss
Florie Bloome was awarded the hand
some cedar chest. Numerous other
prizes were given away during the
evening, and the large crowd in at
tendance fingered until nearly mid
night to see who was to be the lucky
individuals to receive the car and
other valuable prizes. The blanket
booth which has for several years
been the best patronized of the num-
erOus booths on the ground failed to
attract the visitors this year, and the
candy booth proved to be the best
drawing card for the many patrons.

CHICAGO GRAIN PRICES.

CHICAGO, August 26.-More favor
able reports from Canada and north
west, the easier tone in Winnipeg
and a break in Liverpool gave the
wheat market here an easy under
tone during the early dealings. Re
ports from Winnipeg estimate the
wheat yield in three provinces would
be about 120,000,000 bushels In ex-
cess of the governments August re-
turns. Some selling of wheat here
was in evidence, a number Of export
ers being in the market for cash
wheat, but the business was not as
brisk as during the past few days.
The market received fair support
when the December delivery touched
around 12S. Opening prices, which
ranged from unchanged figures to 70
off, with September 1882 to 1.24 and
December 1857 to 1855, were fol-
lowed by slight upturn and then
a drop to well below the previous
close.
Generally favorable weather for the
new crop weakened the deferred de-
liveries of corn, but September de-
livery was slightly above yesterdays
finish. After starting z lower to l
higher. December, 1861 to 1.0oh2,
the market underwent a slight gen
eral rise. which was followed by a
setback in the deferred deliveries.
+ Oats started at 1.0S, declined to a
like advance. December 50h to 81,
and held near to the initial range.
Higher quotations on hogs gave a
lift to provisions.

PITTSBURGH. August 26.-The Ku
klux klan has been denounced with
out a hearing. I. l.. Pick ett, vice
presidential candidate of the Ameri-
can party, declared yesterday in a
statement which he said was a reply
to statements concerning the klan
made by John W. Davis, Democratic
presidential candidate; Charles G.
Dawes, Republican candidate for Vice
President, and Robert NJ. La Toilette,
head of the third party ticket.
Mr.. Pickett. formerly prominent in
the Probition party in kentucky,
declared the enemies of the klan had
failde to study the principles of the
organization and asserted that the
right of free speach and free press
would demand that both sides have
their say.
why should Davis, Dawes and Ia
Toilette be heard against the Khan
while no one is heard, for it?~ said
Mr.. Pickett.
W. NJ. Linkins, national chairman
of the American party. declared Mr..
Davis and Mr.. Dawes had failed in
their purpose to take the Khan out
of politics. They have put it in with
both feet" Mr.. Linkins said the
statements of these party leaders left
members of the ku klux klan but
one way to turn and he said that
their votes would be sought for the
American party candidates.
Gilbert o. Nations of Washingt on,
the party's candidate for President,
will address a ku Klux klan gather
ing at Connellsville. Pa. next Satur-
day night. MIR. Linkins said the ad-
dress, in part, would be a reply to
those who have attacked or denounC-
ed the Khan. ,
Mr. Linkins also declared the party's
candidates were sure of being on the
ballot in 80 States.

NEW YORK, August 26.-The

yesterday vas followed by a moder-
ate rally at the opening today. Gov
ering was promoted by relatively
steady Liverpool cables and more
numerous drought complaints from

TO y points on active positions, the
market sold about 20 to % points net
higher in the first few minutes, De
cember advancing to PAPA. This
bulge met further liquidation, while
there also appeared to be some South
ern and local selling which caused re-
actions of 10 or Is points from the
best and gave the early market
rather a nervous and unsettled ap-
Dearance. 1t was believed the trop-
Ical storm would not cause rains far

Warning to Spcculator-.
Washington's speculative public is
being harassed by stock statesmen
whose method of approach is thusly:
would you gamble s12 to make

Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company,
Ltd.
Pertinent to the above is the warn
ing sent out by the local Better Busi-
ness Bureau, which advises that re
cent quotations received from New
| York unlisted securities markets
show the stock is offered at S. with
s6 bid. 1t therefore appears the
stock is being offered locally at con-
siderably above the market price.
The bureau warns before you in

NEW YORK. August 26.-Continued
