town council, the representatives
of the town, elected by the people,
of the right to direct and control
this work; therefore, it is my opin-
ion, after carefully going over the
law, that your suit would fail. An
Injunction is an extraordinary rem
edy and is usually applied with
ever, if it goes to that, and court
of equity deems your side of the
! question just and equitable one,
no doubt the injunction would
then be granted and the improve
ment and progress of the town
curbed, otherwise your injunction
would be lowered to the depth
most injunctions are entitled to.
| THE mayor and council of the
town of Winslow are, in my opin-
ion, all fair-minded men and are
absolutely capable and competent
of handling the affairs of the
town as we'll as handling, intelli-
gently, the gas plant question.

in the town and serve the people
to best advantage. The council
meetings are always open to the
public and all suggestions offered
by anyone are invariably received
with all the courtesy possible, and
l am sure if you have a question
to put before the council it will be
given the attention and considera-
tion it deserves. True enough, the
railroad is the biggest taxpayer in
the town and has a right to be
heard, but the council meetings are
the place such subjects should be
handled.
AS to the injunction and the
law end of this matter, l hardly
think the town has anything to fear.

donate my service to the town and
there are several others. real at

fact. Corcoran (the leader of the
party also has convinced Inc that
he did not know that Gray could not
swim a hundred yards. He thought
the instruction given him concern
ing giving Gray swimming attention
was simply to improve his SWIM
ming, and that was why he told him
to go to Coburn, who was a speed
swimmer"
DR.. Gray, in conversation with a
representative of the Chronicle,
placed no blame upon anyone now
connected with the camp. He stated
that the official apparently respOn-
sible for permitting Jack to go on
canoe trips before the boy had be-
come a sufficiently good swimmer,
and for failing to notify the leader
of the canoe party that Jack was
only a novice in swimming, no long
er has anything to do with the camp
management. The new president,
Mr.. Rush, has taken steps that
should make the recurrence of such
an accident impossible. The drown
ing of Chase and Gray was the first
serious accident in thirty-three
years for which the management of
the Keewaydin Camps was in any
way to blame.

KEIFFER PEARS VERY FINE

The crop of Keiffer pears is of a
very excellent grade this year and
the growers are gathering them for
shipment. This variety of pears
makes one of the finest sweet
pickles you ever tasted and the wo-
men of lower Delaware who love to
have nice things for their table use,
are working up their winter stock
while the pears are at their best.
Sweet pickles are just bit tedious
to make right; but, they certainly
are worth the trouble involved; the
writer knows whereof he speaks.

COUNTY AGENTS TELL HOW
TO PROTECT STORED GRAIN
lcnntinned from frst pagel

continued from first page)
lutely essential that the grain o.
other products to be fumlgated Dc
nlaced in a tightly closed room OF
vessel. Small amounts can be treat
ed in barrels or tight boxes. Inc
gas is heavier than air. If there are
cracks or knot holes in the floor OF
sides of the room or vessel the gas
will flow out like so much water A
barrel. bin or other vessel with an
omen top may be used, if the sides
and bottom are air tight by placing
blankets or canvas tightly over the
ton of the grain. It is a waste OF
time and material to try to fumigate
in an open crib.
When to Fumigate-Select warm
day. Never fumigate when the tenn
perature is below 60 egrees fahren-
heit. On farm days the insects are
active and are more readily killed
by the gas. On cold days they are IN
active, breathe but little, and the
gas is not likely to be effective.
Amount to Use-For every lOOO
cubic feet of space use at least
three pounds (or about 8 pints) OF
carbon bisulphide. If the room is
not air tight a much larger amount
may be necessary. There is no
danger of using too much. For a
tight barrel about two ounces Tor a
small cupfuD of carbon bisulphide
will generally give good results, if
a blanket is placed securely over the
top.
How to Use-Carbon bisulphide
may be poured directly upon the
grain or seed without injuring it for
planting or feeding purposes. Some
times small pans or other vessels
are placed on top of the grain and
the carbon bisulphide is poured in
to these vessels.
Caution-CarbOn bisulphide is
highly explosive and no form of fire
should be brought near the place be-
ing fumigated. A lighted match, ci-
gar or lantern brought near the
room while the fumigation is in pro-
gress would be very dangerous. The
gas is also poisonous and as little as
possible should be breathed. After
applying the carbon bisulphide the
operator should Immediately leave
he room. Care should be taken that
no cats, dogs, or live stock are fas-
.ened up in the room with the gas.

PIERRE S. DU POINT
APPOINTED STATE
TAX COLLECTOR
lconllnued from nrst pagel


desirous of obtaining some person
at the head of the tax Office who
would produce the very best result
get in all the taxes. He believes
the taxes can be collected if the
proper effort is made. He believes,
also, that if the taxes are collected
the school finances will be in much
better shape than they have ever
been.
Likely To Retain Jester
While it could not be learned def
initely Wednesday, in the absence
of Mr.. du Pont, it is believed he
will retain NJ. Howard Jester, pres
ent commissioner, in the capacity OF
deputy 1t may be, also, that a num-
ber of the latters subordinates,
making up the working force, will
be retained. All have had long con-
nectiOn with the work and are IA
miliar with the operation of the OIL
flee. Included in the force are DR.. e.
S. Rice and Harry 1. Gillis, depart
ment chiefs, both located at the
headquarters Office, in Wilmington.
Ends Political Fight
The appointment of Mr.. du Pont
ends a political fight for the job.
The T. C. du Pont wing of the Re
publican party was said to be. back
ing Commissioner Jester for reap
pointment, while Harry H. Billany
and Gen. J. Austin Ellison were said
to be backing Dr. Rice. Harry ellis
and James G. Shaw of New Castle
were also being mentioned for the
place.
Making A Sacrifice
Acceptance of the Office of State
Tax Commissioner means a sacrifice
to Mr.. du Pont, whose time is now
fully occupied with the business af-
fairs with which he is connected. He
is chairman of, the board of the Gen
eral Motors Corporation and also OF
the du Pont Powder Co., as we'll as
being on the directorates of many
other important business concerns.
What arrangements Mr.. du Pont
will make to take care of his busi-
ness affairs while serving the state |
