drive for the nomination or for
party leadership.
There are other men mentioned in
other localities but always in con-
nection with the Presidency. The
crying need, we are told, is for a
strong man to improve the morale,
wipe out petty differences and unite
on common program and not nee
essarily a White House prospect.
The interviews showed that the par
ty requires men qualified for leader
ship and afterwards funds to make
the wheels revolve in the next cam
paign.
The average American citizen
does not attach much significance to
the negotiations which started here
this week. The discussions of the
Belgian Debt Commission with the
American World War Debt Commits
sion are usually regarded as "just
another foreign affairs" Few heed
the effect of the adjustments on
American economic conditions.
Aside from the political factors,
there are certain matters of senti-
ment in these conferences. In this
connection, the question is generally
asked, "Is it ethically justi1able for
an ally, like the United States, to
charge her Allies for shells and sup
plies sent to the war front to be US
ed by Allied soldiers before our
/ forces arrived, when there is no
question of charging for the SER
vices of the Americans who came
later?" The average Senator's mail
covers a multitude Of answers to
the problem. These are most senti-
mental though a considerable num-
Der want the subject considered
solely as a business issue.
The presence of these distinguish
ed foreigners of the Treasury De-
partment and at social functions in
Washington reVives the question,
with endless variations. With the
British, French, Belgian and other
debts, the whole situation may be
summed up as follows "Are these
debts technically valid international
obligations to be settled by economic
. adjustment or are they exceptional
transactions to be waived by calling
them something else?" It is said
that the Administration expects that
settlements even in small amounts
is essential in order to relieve the
taxpayers of burdens imposed by the
war. The personnel of the American
Commission indicates that little time
will be lost in the deliberations.
Senator Smoot, Secretary of Com
l merce Hoover and others are we'll
known for their ability to manage
affairs with an eye on the nations
cash register are doing the talking.

DIED FROM APPOPLEXY

Rachael Hudson, a colored woman

porch at the home Mr.. and Mrs.
Jacob c. Wilson, last Monday about
the noon hour, August 10th, 1925,
and died in a short time after DR..

removed to her home a short dis
tance away. Rachael was daugh-
ter of Peter Hudson, a veteran sol

BELGIAN POLICE DOG
TO AID STATE POLICE

A young thoroughbred Belgian po-
lice dog has been presented to the
State highway police at Station No.
2, on the State road about z miles
below Wilmington. The dog was
brought to the station last week, and
has become much attached to the Of
ficers at that station. He is a black
short-haired dog and while young,
has shown an exceptional intelli-
gence and Immediately assumed the
guardianship of the Office and para
phernalia, allowing no one to dis
turb anything in the building, unless
one of the officers is present.
The pup is well trained and will
be used at times when the officers
go on a man hunt. The dog will be
taken in side-car and placed on
the trail of any criminal for whom
a search has been instituted. AS a
test of his ability, the dog was given
a tryout, when a young man was
given a half hour start and the dog
placed on his trail. The hunted
young man was found by the dog in
less than an hour after being placed
on his trail. He held him at bay until
the arrival of the police. While not
vicious, the dog knows his duties.
His heavy baying on finding his
prey, brings the police quickly to
the scene of his capture.
The dog came from the DUPONT
kennels and is highly priced by the
boys of Station No. 2.

1k ~of pr0ductlon oDd unless
the weather takes some freakish
change the next two weeks will see
the end of the crop.
Ordinarily Alberta peaches and
Belle of Georgia are about the last
to come. They are used extensively
for preserving after the early varie-
ties have satisfied the palate of the
lovers of peaches "cut down" But
this year Alberta's are already in the
market. This week will see Belle of
Georgia at their best.
The growers have been a bit dis
appointed in the demand and price.
1t was reported in agricultural sec
tions early in July that the crop of
Georgia and North Carolina peaches
was about over, but they are still
in the market. This has hurt the de-
mand from Delaware and has given
the market more peaches than it
could handle at much of a profit.
The rainy weather has also caus-
ed brown rust or rot to attack the
peaches and the growers who were
only expecting at the best a so per
cent crop, now have cause to be-
lieve that they may not even harvest
that much.
Cantaloupes from this state are
now in their prime. Some think they
are better and more exQuisitely
favored than ever before. But the
price is not as high as the growers
had reason to expect. What the rea-
son is, is not known.
Wheat throughout the state is now
pretty well threshed. The crop as
predicted was fine one, averaging
between 20 and 80 bushels to the
acre and some even larger yields re-
ported. One man claims he got 43
bushels from some acres and this
may be true, but the average was
nowhere near that high.
W. T. Derickson, director of the
Bureau of Markets is this week
sending letters to all late apple
growers, asking them to report at
once about how many carloads they
expect to harvest and how many of
them want government inspection
for the fruit. This is necessary infor-
nation as the funds for the apple
are limited and latecom-
ers will find themselves without any

.NCE TO
PRODUCE COSTS
ek-End Motorists Flock Down
State, Buying Direct From Pro-
ducer At Farm Gates.
(From Sunday Starr

WilmingtoniansVso find the high
cost of farm predIce>gr0EiRg daily
more unbedrable, and who are un-
able to secure any relief in the
curbstone markets from the exac-
tions of the middleman, have still
one avenue left to them if they will
follow the example of Pennsylvania
weekend tourists in Delaware.
These visitors have discovered how
to circumvent the high-priced sellers
of farm produce by the simple ex-
pedient of going straight to the pro
ducer himself.
In other words, all through Della
ware may be found a rapidly-in-
creasing number of Road Markets. 3"
These Road Markets" are simply
road stands erected by the farmers
in front of their properties along the
highways. Sometimes, these markets
consist simply of a sign inviting pro-
duce seekers to drive in; sometimes
there are sample baskets of produce
displayed in front of the farmers
dwelling; in the majority of cases,
stands, more or less elaborate, are
erected in front of the homes, and
fruit and produce placed on display.
A representative of The Star, who
made trip through lower Delaware
last weekend counted seven of these
Road Stands" between Smyrna and
Dover; nine from Dover to Harring-
ton; two from Harrington to Mil
ford; and thirteen from Milford to
Dover. 1t is estimated there are at
least seVenty-fve of these stands go
ing full tilt over the weekend. That
Pennsylvania motorists are not slow
to take advantage of this chance to
cut down the cost of living is shown
by the large number of machines
with Pennsylvania licenses that
drive up to the stands, and dicker
for farm produce direct from the
man who raised it, and right on the
farm where it was raised.
Some of the prices noted by The
Star representative will be interest
ing to Wilmington buyers. Tomatoes
last weekend were selling three
quarts for twenty-five cents; peach
es, fifty cents for a five-eighths bas-
ket; apples, twenty-five and thirty
five cents for a five-eighths basket;
cucumbers, three for five cents; can
taloupes, ten cents each; sweet corn,
twenty-five cents a dozen; potatoes,
fifty cents per fiVe-eighths basket;
cabbage, five cents a head; eggs,
thirty-fve cents a dozen.
These prices speak more eloquent
ly than words. They show that the
Wilmingtonian who owns a motor
car, or whose neighbor does, can
combat high produce costs in the
easiest kind of way, which is moth
ing more or less than going out to
the farm and laying in produce for
a week. Another method of saving is
the fact that Delaware farmers still |
stick to the old five-eighths basket,
the basket that Wilmingtonians al
ways bought until these latter years,
when somehow or other, the half
bushel basket came into the Will
mington markets. This means an
extra half-peck.
The suggestion is made that if |
Wilmington people want to secure
farm produce at lower costs, let
them follow the crowd of week
end down Delaware and they will
find out just what the Pennsylvania |
weekend tourists have discovered.
