Senator Kramer, Republican of Will

repeating the 25-cent capitation tax.
1t is claimed that this head tax is
being collected only from owners of
real estate, and that in New Castle
county the 25 cents is added to the
realty owners bill by the county tax
office, but its collection has never been
enforced on non-property owners be-
cause of the ocst of litigation as COM
pared with the small amount involved
Senator Allen is sponsor for a bill re-
duclng the license fee to be paid bv
real estate agents from $50 to $40.
In introducing the measure, Senator
Allen said the object was to encour-
age activity in the selling of real es-
tate in Delaware. "The more real es-
tate agents we can get to sell proper
ty in this State, the more advertising
the State will get and the more the
State will profit thereby"

has met with as hearty a response
from the boys, or as loyal support
from the men and women, as has
Scouting. Even in Smyrna, although
we are very slow moving and con-
servative, there is some evidence of
this response and loyalty. Fifteen
years is a long while in the life of
the boy, although but brief span in
the lives of many of US. But in that
time there has come into existence a
movement that numbers nearly 6OO.-
900 boys, besides we'll over 100000
men giving of their time and energy
freely in the cause. Delaware has
the distinction of having the third
Oldest Troop in the United States
Old Swedes, Wilmington-and Smvrna
has the distinction of having the sec
ond oldest Troop in the State. In or
der that this fifteenth anniversary
may be marked in some proper wav.
Smyrna Troop, No. 1, plan to observe
some simple exercises next week. On
Sunday evening they will attend Di
vine service in body at 7.3O o'clock
IN st. Peters Church; and at 8.15
T. NJ, in the same place thev will
join with all the other Scouts in the
United States in solemnly repeating
the Scout Oath. The public is cor
daily invited to this service. On
Monday there will be special exercises
at Headquarters for the Troop alone.

and to former Scouts. If there should
be any of the above groups who fail
to receive a formal invitation. it is
hoped that they will consider that if
was unintentional that they should be
sighted, and that they will be well
coined. 1t is very necessary, how
ever, that the Scouts should know
how many to expect on that Tuesday
night, as they hope to have some re-
freshments for their guests. A con-
test has been inaugurated between the
Patrols with the purpose in view of
nllng up the vacancies in the ranks.
Any assistance that can be given to
this contest will be appreciated. Let
us all get behind Scouting and give
it the biggest boost it has ever had
in Smyrna.

Residents and ovters of the Second

hundred are requesting Representa-
tive George T. Slant, of this district,
to introduce an amendment to the
State election laws so as to cause the
polling place of this district for gen
eral elections to be changed. The
present law specifies that all elections
IN this district shall be held at the
Townsend Hotel, which was formerly
the property of the late James J.Dick-
inson. AS that property has changed
hands and has been converted into an
apartment house and drug store. it is
no longer considered as Townsend
Hotel, and it is thought that a new
act Of the law should be enacted to
establish a permanent polling place

The market value of a canned food
IS determined primarily by its quality.
ANY factor, therefore, which affects
the quality of product deserves care
tul thought to the end that a high
standard which has been attained in
Delaware for canned products be
maintained. The canning of tomatoes
IN this state has been an enterprisino
and successful industry, but should
there be another season like the one
just passed the quality of canned to-
matoes packed on this peninsula NAV
lose Its high standing with the con-
Sumng public. The quality of toma-
toes grown last year, in some instan-
ces' was very poor. The packer. real
lzlng this, is making an effort THROUGH
the Legislature, to overcome this as
much as possible, by improvement in
seed. The Gamers of Delaware have
appointed legislative committee con-
slsung of George N. Davis. Wilminp-
Jon; Harry Cannon, Bridgeville. and
II. w. Pearson of the T. A. Snider

state Legislature for an appropria-
ton to be used by the Extension Bu-

SCRIBE TO A BOOST DINNER
W. I. Gardner, Secretary of the Sails

Jury OndmDer OF Commerce, and
others, to Aid Smyrna in Start
A movement has been started to or
ganlze a Chamber of Commerce or a
Merchant Association in Smvrna.
Most all the merchants are falling in
line with the idea and for the purpose
Of getting together on some definite
line of thought and action, it has been
proposed to hold a banquet on Tues
day evening next, February 10th. at
the Twentieth Century Club House of
Smyrna. 1t has long been felt by
some of our wide-awake merchants
that Smyrna should make a concerted
bid for trade, solicit more out of town
business of which Smyrna is the CEN
ire and to encourage home industries
to locate here. The natural advan-
tages to Smyrna being near Railorad.
Boulevard, and Smyrna River naviga-
ton should make it much more at
tractive centre. That Smyrna is up
and doing is noted by the building
boom now on. With two handsome
bank buildings going up in our midst,
new Fire Hall, newly remodeled
stores and residences going up here
and there, especially on the Boulevard
there is no doubt Smyrna is on the
map. Now our merchants want to
get together and see what induce
ments they can make to have more
people from surrounding towns and
communities to their buying here. Its
a recognized fact that no town its
size can boast of larger or finer look
ing stores. These Smyrna stores are
stocked with goods and have attrac-
tive window displays. Now the
thought of merchants getting togeth-
er and forming live Board of Trade
or Chamber of Commerce is to induce
by way of 'Dollar Days" and other
innovations the bringing of more
trade to Smyrna, especially trade that
drifts away to larger centers. The
slogan "deal at home" will be made
more pronounced and busines in gen
eral should prosper if the right and
proper effort is made. With the end
in view of forming a live wire Cham
Der Of Commerce in Smyrna tentative
plans have been made for a get-to-
gether dinner next Tuesday evening
the 10th inst, at the Century Club
House, when addresses will be made
and the whole plan talked over. w.

u Commerce of Salisbury, Nd, and

POOR DUCKING SEASON ENDS
Law Shut Down on Sport Saturday.
Poorest Season on Record Is
Report Up Along Bay Shore

Report Up Along Bay Shore
The wild duck season closed in this
State, Saturday at sundown, and here
after 1t will be unlawful to shoot
they until October 16, 1925. The sea-
son just passed has probably been the
poorest of recent years along the nm
per Delaware Bay shore and a great
number of the older, wiser hunters
have done very little shooting. The
canal operations at Delaware Citv
have resulted in the flooding, of nrac-
tcally all the local marshes 50 that
they are under water at all times.
Because of this fact the good feeding
grounds in the locality have been
ruined until such time as the marsh
es are drained of the surplus water
and the feeding grounds once more
restored to a normal condition. Be-
cause Of the fact that the feeding
grounds in this section of the State
We're wiped out during the fall. the
ducks have not stayed there in Iocal
marshes as they usually do but have
gone on farther down the river and
the adjacent marshes. The present
condition is expected to be remedied
by next year, however, and if this is
done, conditions should be restored
once more to normal. The past few
days have been excellent days for ice
shooting in the river and a number of
local sportsmen have taken advantage
o1 the weather conditions to get in
some Of the best shooting of the sea-
son. They have generally had to 90.

Senator Viven's bill providing for

Friday afternoon. This was the first

bill amends the Constitution so as TO
carry out the permanent registration
OF voters. As it passed both Houses
two years ago all that is now needed
Is favorable action by the House for
1t to become a law. Favorable action
by two biennial sessions of the Legis-

State Constitution. The bill provides
Tor two registration days previous to

to put on the books those qualified
but not already registered. It pro-
