ESTIMATE 1868
VOTERS In STATE

The National League of Women
Voters is planning an active cam
paign to get out votes in the Novem-
Der election.
In a booklet given out on Tuesday
various plans are suggested to
arouse interest in the campaign and
to bring out the voters. Various
states are quoted, many of which
adopted songs. Practically all of the
Atlantic seaboard states are refer
red to as to slogans, except Della
ware.
The league is stressing the num-
Der of absent voters in the last ma
tional campaign and estimates the
total possible vote in Delaware this
November is 118,64S. The league
points out that according to the 1920
census the total population in the
State over 21 years of age was 1885,
521 and that there were 1928 not
naturalized and otherwise disqual-
flied. The total vote at the November
election Of 1920 was 94,91O in the
State and according to the estimates
made, contemplate an increase of /
23,729 voters more than at the 1920 |.
election in the State. It is also esti-
mated that 81, 1884 stay-at-homes and |
other absentees failed to vote in Del
lware in 1920.

els against 100000 last season, and

THRESHLNC WHEAT CROP
Reports Indicate Yield About The
Average For Lower Delaware.

Wheat growers in lower Delaware
are busy threshing their crop for
this year. In all sections of the state
threshing machines are busy. The
dry weather of the past week has
been ideal for saving the crop, and
the farmers have not been held up
because of weather conditional slnSSGRs
ports from many districts through
out the state indicate that as a whole
the crop is just about an average
one for Delaware. It is not expected
that the yield will be as heavy this
year as it was last season when Del
aware harvested one Of the largest
wheat crops in its history.
The quality of the grain being
harvested this year is good, and the
yield per acre seems to be satisfac-
tory in most sections.
The corn that was planted at the
proper time now looks fine in lower
Delaware. The exceedingly late
spring, and the rainy weather made
it impossible for farmers to plant
corn in many districts until it was
too late to get a good start. The re-
suit is that the acreage will not be
so large this year as in the past. Re-
ports indicate that those fields plant
ed in corn give promise of turning
)ut a good yield. The corn yield for
he whole United States is below the
of past years. AS a result
)f this Delaware farmers should re-
'elYe fine prices for corn next fall.

SUNDAY SCHOOLS
GIVE THE CHILDREN
FINE DAYS OUTING
Three Schools Visited Oak Orch
ard This Week On Their
Annual Outings.
ENJOYED FINE BATHING
The Indian River Resort Is Ideal
For Gatherings And Children
Are In No Danger.

The children in Milford who are
members of the several Sunday
schools of the town were taken on
their annual outing to Oak Orchard
this week. On Tuesday the Baptist
Sunday school visited that resort
for a days picnic. On Wednesday a
large gathering of Milford children,
with their parents, went to the same
place when the Methodist Episcopal
Church and the Presbyterian Church
combined in holding their picnic.
The children were taken to Oak
Orchard in large automobile busses
and were well cared for from the
time that they arrived at the church
until they were returned to Milford.
The Indian River, on the banks Of
which Oak Orchard is located, is
shallow at that point and child can
bathe several hundred feet from
shore without being in water much
over waist deep. This is an added
advantage for occasions such as
Sunday school gatherings. The
Methodist Sunday school provided all
of it's members with tickets good at
the stores and amusement places
and the children made merry all
day.
A number Of the youngsters rig
ged up grabbing devices and were
rewarded with a good catch of hard
she'll crabs. The Milford churches
have been holding their annual pic
MICS at Oak Orchard for the past sew
eral wears.

Orchard fruit crops in Maryland.
apples excepted, give promise of
bountiful yields this year, says the
United States Department Of Agri-
culture. In some Maryland orchards
apples are very spotted; the trees
were full of bloom but did not set
fruit, pOllination being hindered by
the excessively wet and cool spring.
A full crop of some types of apples
is expected here and there on the
Eastern Shore, according to PENN
sula growers. Wet weather has been
favorable to insects and disease in
both States, and damage is reported
locally from those causes. Spray
ing in not few instances has prov
en- ineffective because of continuous
rains, which growers say washed off
the solution. Much scab is reported
and hail worked considerable dam
age locally. The June drop in both
States is reported as heavy. In Del
aware, all tree-fruit prospects are
much above the ten-year average
FOR this time of year.

ADMISSION TAX OFF
Persons Charging Old Rates Since
July 2 Subject To Prosecution

The Bureau of Internal Revenue
has completed and soon will issue
the first part of the revised regula-
tions under the new tax law, set
ting forth the Treasury's interpret
alton of the law applying a tax on
admissions. Bureau experts have
been engaged for some time in draw
ing up a construction Of all pro-
visions of the law, and it is expected
that the revision will be completed
in another thirty days.
The new regulations made def
mite the apparent intent of Congress
to levy 10 per cent tax on the
whole admission when the charge is
more than fifty cents. The tax does
not apply under any circumstances
when the admission is fifty cents or
less, and the bureau has issued
caution to the public against cOllec-
tion of taxes except when the
amount exceeds fifty cents.
Most theatres and amusement
places have stocks of tickets bear

Accountable For Much Of The Filth.

founding results are being obtain

tests made by the travelling labora-
tory of the American Health Asso-

Health and Welfare Commission, in
ascertaining how much, if any, filth

The motor laboratory has been
visiting every section of Delaware,
inspectors taking samples of the
milk offered for sale and testing it
to determine how much dirt is con-
tanned, the kind of dirt and the
of bacteria. These results
have been shocking to many lOcali-
ties, and afford physicians some cor

milk that might be responsible for
of dysentery and even
worse summer diseases and ills.
For three weeks hetesting of milk
