to be correct.
Because of his uncanny success at
making election predictions he was
urged to continue his observations on
men and things. To the deep annoy
ance of Wall Street, he Immediately
obliged with a number of tart dis
patches in which he took a series of
rough slaps at Wall Street bankers
who are bringing large amounts of
miscellaneous European securities to
America and gayly passing them to
the American people. Somebody, he
predicted, was going to be handsome

going to be a resident of Europe.
Hoarse shouts of rage promptly arose
from the bankers, whose delicate SEN
sibilities were cruelty bruised by these
unkind words.

Wall Street has waited with bated

nothing has struck. Times change

Several resolutions were acted
upon, including one concerning the
school question in Delaware. A res
olutiOn requesting Governor Robin
son to call a special session of leg
1slature to discuss the school build
ing program of Delaware was laid on
the table. This resolution in it's fore
part required the Legion to go on
record as believing that "the schools
of the State are not of such charac-
ter and capacity to give our chill
dren fair opportunity to obtain the
education to which they as children
of the United States are absolutely
entitled"
A resolution expressing the opin-
ion of the convention that there
should be no reduction in the per-
sonnel of the National Guard, the
Regular Army or organized reserves,
was adopted.
The Ladies' Auxiliary submitted a
resolution suggesting the celebra-
ton of National Defense Day on Flag

way. We did not get it. Our team
has outplayed Georgetown every
time they have been in the field, but
no team on earth could beat them
as long as you use the grade of UNI
pires you used on Saturday, backed
up by the officials as yours was.
1 went in this league to help de-
velop what home talent we had and
made it plain to you that 1 was only
in it for the good clean sport I
could get out of it. Our boys have
been taught to play every game as
real sports should and not partici-
pate in any form of rowdyism.
From the start it seems it has
been the aim of Georgetown to win
every game regardless of how it was
won. Of course, the way the man
agement was compelled to tax their
fans, to pay out of town players, it
was very important that they do
this; inasmuch as you admitted they
would not support a losing team.
1 regret very much to be compelled
to take the steps I have but 1 do
not want to be held accountable for
taking our high school boys in the !
environment they have been COM
PEELED to be in some of the games
they have played in, in the Sussex
County League.
Since Lewes has not put up the
$25.O0 forfeit money the agreement
of the league calls for, do not con-
slider that we should be held respon-
sible for forfeiting any part of the
$25.00 we put up, so I am forward
ing you check for S20.S3 it being the
amount left after deducting the pro-
portionate part of the expense.

sex County Base Ball League termi-
mates upon your receipt of this let

nence at the Kent-Sussex Fair.
In discussing her plans for the
youngsters exhibits at the fair, Miss
Helen COmstock, Kent County Club
agent, pointed out that the clubs had
after several years of hard work,

girls division is to have three sec
tions, one each for cooking, canning

ty Club agent, will be in charge of
the boys judging; Miss Comstock
will be in charge of the clothing
work, and Miss Anne B. Moore, Sus-
sex County Agent, in charge of cook
ing and canning.

ing attendance at the junior short
course to be given at the University
of Delaware in August, comprise the

ships in each county will be given

ing and canning, two for crop Judg-
ing and two for live stock.

awarded for quality and neatness of
the various exhibits. Four prizes
will be given in each of the 79 I
classes in this department, while a +
fifth prize has been added TO the r
sewing club classes. In addition, So
n gold will be awarded as a sweep h

lained to them by the youngsters o.
themselves the nature of their work Le
