them assistance in their various lines
of endeavor, then they sent fiers
home to mothers by seventy thousand
school children and last but not least
they determined if the women would
not come to registration, then regis
tration would go to them.
Make House To House Canvass
So they bundled the registration
paraphernalia into motor busses
which were supplied by city council,
and with specially sworn in registra-
tion officers made a house to house
canvass, street by street, stopping the
truck at the street corner and bring
ing out every person of legal age to
register. "If we really are to be a
democracy" says the women, "it is
high time we were about it."
Frank Vanderlip recently said, "lt

courage, that we move to bettel

SEVERE STORM IN SUSSEX
Accompanied By Very High Winds, 1t
Caused DAMAGE To Crops

Lower Delaware was swept by one
of the most violent wind and rain
storms in several months Tuesday
morning of last week, and consider
able damage was caused. The storm
came from the northwest and broke
about 2 o'clock lasting with unabated
fury until after 5 o'clock. The high
winds were accompanied by torrents
of rain which will be of great help
70 all late vegetation. Reports reach
ing Georgetown from the rural sec
tions are to the effect that the winds
leveled many of the corn fields, up
rooted many trees and blew down
several poultry houses. So far there
are no reports of destruction of dwell
lings reaching there from any of the
towns in that county. Electric light
wires were put out of commission in
many sections, throwing some of the
towns in darkness. Service was es-
| tablished throughout the day. While
the winds assumed proportions of a
hurricane gale all along the Delaware
Coast and caused much damage to
corn fields along the bay shores, yet
no reports of destruction to homes
have been received at Georgetown.
Farmers will suffer the greatest
loss to their corn crops, it is said, es-
pecially in the lowlands where the
late crop now in the making has been
blown down in many sections and is
almost covered with water. 1t is be-
lieved that the tomato crop will suffer
injury in the lOwlandS unless the
water drains from fields within +;
short time before hot suns cause th'
fruit to scald.
Peach growers around Bridgevill
are much concerned over their peacl
crop, which is now ready to be pickle,
due to the heavy wind and rain storm
The peach is a fruit which cannot en-
dure much rain although the dustini
materials now in use make the frui
more durable. Hundreds of bushel
of fruit were blown from the trees
and when peaches fall to the groun
! they are not sold as No. l fruit. Thi
crop is one of the heaviest known

! years and farmers as well as broker
were anticipating a profitable crop.

steamer owned by the road was op-
Grated between Baltimore and Love
Point and furnished a through route
from Baltimore to the Atlantic Coast.
The Z. B. Leaf Company, of Phil
adelphia, which bought the old rail
road properties and the ferry, intend
ed to sell the property as junk, but
this course was opposed by the people
who resided along the line on the
Eastern Shore and in Delaware.
The application approved by the
commission authorizes the Maryland
and Delaware Coast Railway Com
pany, incorporated in Maryland last
April, to issue 1880 shares of capi-
tai stock without nominal or par
value and $3OO,000 of first mortgage
2O-year sinking fund 6 per cent gold
bonds, to be sold at not less than SO
and accrued interest.
These shares of stock are to be de-
livered to Jesse ROsenfeld, of Balti'
more, who obtained an option from
the Leaf Company for the section O.
the road between West Denton, Md.
to Lewes, Delaware, a distance of a
miles, and who organized the Mary
land and Delaware Coast Railway t
take over this property.
Seventy thousand dollars of pro
ceeds of the bonds will be used a
part payment to Mr.. Rosenfeld 70

be used for equipment, rehabilitatio

MARYLAND GROWERS VISIT US
Come On Tour of Investigation To
Sunnyside Fruit Farms, Wyoming

Sunnyside Fruit Farms, wyoming
County farmers and residents of
Chestertown, Md, made a pilgrimage
to Sunnyside Fruit Farms, near Wy
oming, Monday Of last week, to in
spect the peach orchards on the farms.
Among the visitors were several
farmers who were among the largest
growers of peaches in Kent county,
Md, when the peach was in its glory
in Kent; but the orchards in Della
ware at this time were a revelation.
They had no idea that the diseases
which make it impossible to grow the
crop in Kent now are so perfectly un-
der control as they are in Delaware,
and they were gratified to learn that
certain sections of Kent county can
grow the fruit with profit if the same
methods of cultivation are employed
as in Delaware. 1t is believed that
these farms which are owned by the
Sunnyside Company will produce even
a larger crop this year than last when
it was learned that more than $685.
500 worth of fruit was sold. Those
who made the trip and returned witt
automobile loads of fine fruit were

pany; ]. Walter Skirven, William 7

SORROW FOR GANDHI
Religious Communities of India Adopt Resolutions of Sympathy For Leader in Fast,

Delhi, British India, Sept. 27-The conference of representatives of all the religious communities in India, meeting here, today unanimously adopted resolution recording the country's deep grief over the suffer- ings of the non-cooperationis lead CT Gandhi in his self-imposed fast, undertaken to bring peace between the Hindus and Moslems.
 The resolution expressed the opin- ion that the utmost freedom of con- science was essential, condemned the desecration of places of worship, disapproved the forcibe conversion of the people Of one faith to another and assured Gandhi that the coun- try would do its utmost to enforce his principles.
 Motilal Mnehru, at the request of the conference conveyed this assur- ance to Gandhi and urges him to cease his fast and participate in the conference, but Gandhi has not yet agreed.
 The Metropolitan of India, in a letter to Gandhi, expressed hope that his fast will enable the leaders of all parties to seek the true basis of unity and peace. He urges Gandhi to consider that his fast cannot pro- vide the basis of unity, although it can stir men to seek it. When tfis is accomplished Gandhi should aban- don the fast, adds the Metropolitan, because if it proved fatal it would estrange men rather than conciliate them.
