in this letter of his is something needed in these days of excitement over alleged official betrayalS of trust. In some of the incidents brought out there is occasion for smiling at irrelevancies or absurd ities. Such prolonged and search iEg inquiry cannot fail to produce d great deal of matter that mainly serves to whet curiosity. But these things are mere incidental trifleS.
 What we must hold to as the main purpose is the determination to got to the bottom of all the real crook edness and corruption in our public life and to make an example of the guilty. Americans will have their laugh at minor weaknesses and blunders revealed by the Senate Committee of Investigation, but they will not be worthy of their heritage Q" show that they are level with tEeir chief duty today unless they are really to sacrifice every personal advantage or partisan hope for the sake of seeing that justice is vindi- cated and exalted in the eyes of the De ople

CURIOSITY OR JUSTICE
(POrtland OregOnian)

On Augusa Il, 1799, George McHenry, the Secretary of War. After a few remarks about the en- barrassment of the new administra tion over foreign questions, he wrote:
 "I come now to the scene of Brib- cry. And, pray, my good Sir, what your share? As you are high in of fee, l hope you did not disgrace yourself in the acceptance of a pal try bribe-aS1OO,0 900. But here again I become serious. l hope and expect that the Pros ecutors will probe this matter to bottom. It will have an unhappy effect upon the. public mind if it be not so.''
 The old incident has it's relation to our present evils. We see that corruption and charges of it were lot unknown in the pure days of the early Republic. It is evident, too. that even then men sought a certain relaxation from the tension of public inquiries into official der el;ction by making private jokes about the matter. Also. it is one more proof that human nature is very much the same article in all ed from his jest with a friend to the sternest insistence that the rotten stuff be resolutely cut out of our public life.

FIRE HOUSE FUND IS GROWING
Former Citizens Those Who Have Not

Are Sending In Big Checks


Are Sending In Big Checks
Through the columns Of the Times
you have been kept aware for the past
three weeks Of the progress the Citi-
zens Hose Company is making in their
drive for funds to aid in providing a
new fire-house for Smyrna. Liberal
subscriptions are being made to this
appeal of our fremen both in our
town and surrounding villages and
countryside. Several of our former
citizens, who years ago left the "Old
home town" and have met with fnan-
cial success in other cities, are among
the most liberal contributors, much to
the qualification of our firemen.
Every citizen of Smyrna feels justly
proud of our town, which ranks as one
of the most important and progressive
towns of Delaware. We have a mod
ern electric light and water plant, an
improved gas plant, we'll paved streets
splendid churches, and one of the fin
est high schools in the State, up-tO-
date stores, three hotels, two banks,
a movie theatre, and in fact every
facility for we'll ordered community.
This move on the part of our Fire
Company to have a modern fire house
/ is in keeping with the other progress
/ sive features above mentioned and de-
! serves the hearty support of all our
people Therefore, when the soHci-
tors call on you to pull your pound,
cheerfully catch on, and do your best.
/ The amount of your contribution, or
subscription, can easily be made up to
you in the first fire which might hap
pen to involve your property. Re
member what an asset an active fire
company means in our town and COM
munity, and which also serves the
neighboring towns and surrounding
country districts. Our fire company
is purely a volunteer organization,and
is composed of sixty of our finest
young men who have no means OF
paying for a new fre-house except by
holding suppers, caInivals, etc, ano
hence this appeal for subscriptions tc
aid them in this noble enterprise. w
G. Tatnall learned last week that the
Phoenix fire bell which he was en-
deavoring to procure for the tower Of
the proposed fire house in Smyrna wa:
disposed of about two years ago, anC
, is therefore, not available now. j. f
, Hoffecker Immediately communicated
with w. B. Megear Of Wilmington, ;
former citizen Of Smyrna, in an ef
fort to locate a suitable fire alarm
bell and is hoping for prompt results
Altogether the campaign is progress
f ing very satisfactorily and a wonder
ful interest is being manifested b!
} the general public. Let US all remem
: Der, at is more blessed to give thai

. cordingly. In the near future a build
ing committee will be appointed b,
the Citizens Hose Co. which will il
turn confer with a few of our mos
prominent citizens regarding plans
etc, for the new fire house, and al
architect will also be consulted Let
get going while the going is good.

GROWERS IN FOUR MARYLAND
COUNTIES POOL TOMATOES
10000 ACRES TO BE CONTROLLED
BY GROWERS FOR MUTUAL AID
Kent, Queen Annes, Caroline and Dor
chester Farmers Will Grow For
Reasonable Profit in Future

Tomato growers in Delaware who
look upon the growing of tomatoes as
one of their most important crops,
will be interested to know that the
spirit of farm cooperation has ex-
tended to a control of virtually the
seasons product in four counties of
the Eastern Shore of Maryland. Last
week the Queen Anne's County Toma-
to Growers Association went over the
top in its drive for control of two
thirds of the county's tomato acreage.
Twenty-four hundred acres of tOma
toes are on the rolls of the OrgOniza
tion, and every contract between the
pool and the growers automatically
became binding when two thousand
acres were signed up. Dorchester
county this year combines with Queen
Annes Kent and Caroline. The acre
age in the four counties is approx
mately ten thousand acres, and the
production of this acreage will be
marketed by the organizations work
ing jointly under one official head.
Plans of the four pools in the Four
County Pool include the securing of
a price for tomatoes that will cover
the growers cost of production plus
a decent profit. According to those
in the organization, tomato prices in
the past have always been derived
from consumers prices, or the price
paid for futures. The farmers profit
has been the only flexible feature OF
the transaction on this basis. The
Pool believes that the logical price
paid for tomatoes should be arrived al
by calculating the first cost, of the
farmer, then adding a farmers profit
then the outlay in canning and mark
! keting canned goods. This system
when worked out in all its details, viii
avoid the oft occurring lack of profit
for the grower, and will put tomato
production on a safe and sane basi'
for the farmer as well as for other in
terests involved. Widespread interes
throughout Maryland has been appar
ent in the work of pooling tomatoes
this year. A few years ago Mary
lands tomato production was one
third the production of the entir
country, and farmers are attempting
big things in pooling a ten thousan'
acre slice of the state acreage in to
matoes. Organization for the fame
is rapidly gaining ground throughou
the country, and Queen Annes count
is to be commended for its marke
advance in this direction in the pas
few weeks.

RADIO FINDS MAN FOR $1,000
DIR. Claude o. Clements, of BirdsbOrO,
Pa, Wanted in Dover As Heir

Radio was the means by which DR..
Claude o. Clements, of BirdsbOrO, Pa,
was located after track of him had
been lost for nearly twenty years.
This fact was brought to light by Dr..
Clements visiting there last week. DR..
Clements came to Dover to consult his
uncle, f. Z. Clements, clerk of the
peace of Kent County, concerning the
estate of his father, Frank Clements,
who died in California last Novem-
Der, without knowledge of the where
abouts of his son. DR.. Clements is
the sole heir to his fathers estate
which is valued at between seven and
eight thousand dollars, in view of the
fact that his mother has waived her
rights in favor of him. When Mr.
Clements and his wife separated near
ly twenty years ago, the former set
tied in California while his wife and
son remained East. Mrs. Clements
hearing nothing from her estranged
husband for several years, obtained a
decree nisi and remarked. Clerk OF
the Peace Clements, not knowing his
nephew's whereabouts, had an in
quiry for him broadcasted from Phil
adelphia several weeks ago, which in
three days resulted in his going tC
Dover to claim his inheritance.
