ware Organized at Wilmington

An event of considerable signif-
canoe to the taxpayers of Delaware
was an announcement, made Friday,
that charter had been filed at Do
yer for the Taxpayers Research Lea
que of Delaware. The officers and
trustees of the organization, who are
also the incorporatOrs, are: Edward
w. Cooch, Esq, Wilmington, Presi-
dent; w. w. Hynson, Smyrna, Vice
President; L. L. Layton, Georgetown,
Vice-President; Haldeman G. Stout,
Wilmington, Treasurer; Edward v.
Baker, Selbyville; Frank G. Bancroft,
Wyoming; Mrs. H. D. Boyer, Smyrna;
Mrs. Frederick Bringhurst, Whining

John s. Rossell, Wilmington; Mrs.
Edward c. Sudler, Georgetown; and
Edward j. Winder, Seaford.
The announced purpose of the Tax
payers Research League is to make a
continuous, scientific study of govern
ment problems in Delaware, includ-
ing questions of assessment, taxation,
and the expenditure of public funds,
in order to supply taxpayers with ac-
curate, unbiased information, and to
stimulate a widespread, intelligent in
terest in public affairs. The League
will seek to enlist the efforts and Co
operation of all citizens of the State
to promote economical and efficient
government.
In the futherance of its purpose, the
League will maintain a staff of tech
nicians whose research work will be
entirely along scientific, non-partisan
and impersonal lines. 1t will cOntin-
uously collect, analyze, and present tC
the taxpayers the current facts about
their government, translating techni-
cal facts into popular language, So

ing. Nine feet of stovepipe removed
by scarcely foot of space from a
wooden ceiling, completely rotted
away in three different places, add a
second element of danger to the situa-
tion. With the separating walls above
and the fire hazard below, certainly
a windy day is dangerous PROPOSE
tion in the Leipsic district.
All the building lacked in quality
seemed to be made up in the boys and
girls, for nowhere had the visitor dis
covered such keen, wide-awake and
intelligent questionners. Outside, a
graveyard, fence-high with weeds, ad-
joins the building.
Conditions were only slightly bet
ter in the Willow Grove District. The
closing of the door as the visitor en-
tered, when finally achieved, was ac-
companied by the falling on all sides
of plaster. A narrow, corridor-Ike
cloak room, running along the front
of the building, had big holes in wall
and ceiling, through which lath and
daylight shone conspicuously. The
door between this passageway and the
main school room has long since gone.
Accordingly, it is impossible to shut
out the .draughts from the holes in the
outer wall, at the present time; there
is always the open doorway at the
backs of the children.
Within, all that ingenuity can
achieve has been accomplished by the
teacher Large American and Della
ware flags add color to the bare walls.
An inverted store box in the center,
covered with cretonne, adds a touch
of coziness to the room. Banner and
pennants from the State Parent
Teacher Association suggest the fine
cooperative spirit that prevails in the
district. The first grade in one cor
ner, gave evidence of splendid pro-
gress in reading since September.
Fifth grade children at the board, un-
mindful of the threatening ceiling
overhead, worked away diligently.
81 am always frightened when I let
them go to the board" the teacher
confided. We've been very fortunate
All of the plaster has fallen at night"
There is no drinking water on the
premises. Each child has gotten for
himself a soft drink bottle. When one
goes to the village for cup of water
he usually brings back several bottles
filled for his favorite playmates.

KENT COUNTY GIRL AT CHICAGO
Miss Sara Moore Represents Delaware
at Fifth Annual Congress Gathering

Miss Sara Moore, Of Oak Grove,
who was recently chosen as the rep
resentative from Delaware at the fifth
annual boys and girls club congress
in Chicago this week, left recently for
Chicago. She has completed her six
tn year of club work. She has en-
rolled four years in the clothing club,
one year in the baking club and this
year she completed the canning club
work. Miss Moore is q senior in the
Dover High School, her home being
near Oak Grove. She is an excellent
student as well as a successful club
girl, which is evidenced by the fact
that she was one of two to attain a
standing of "a, the highest average in
the Senior class. In addition to her
school work and the assistant leader
ship of the Oak Grove Clothing Club,
she has charge of the cafeteria at the
Dover High School. She plans the
meals to be served, does the buying
and superintends the work. The funds
for the trip TO the Club Congress at
Chicago are furnished by Montgomery
Ward Company as a reward for
achievement. Miss Moore is the only
representative from Delaware.

worthy Of a far better school home.
Until this year seventh and eighth
grade children have been quartered on
the second floor. In September, on
account Of a sagging ceiling, which
has separated from the studding,
leaving a gap Of at least three inches,
number Of the children have been
transferred to the school at Cheswold,
four and one-half miles distant. The
remainder occupy the first floor Of the
building.
The room is lighted through four
windows. In order to make it pos
sible to raise or lower the sash, the
teacher has had the stripping remov-
ed from two of them. AS result,
large jagged pieces Of wood, wedged
in on the outside, are being used to
hold them in place. "We want the
window raised" the teacher announc-
ed, and a willing little youngster
hurried outside in serious, business
like way and removed the wedge.
The two remaining windows were
nailed tight, the teacher said, to pre-
vent raid on the coal bin. A second
child, with hammer and chisel, work
ed for ten minutes in an effort to
satisfy the visitor that the window
could be raised in an emergency. The
original panels have gone from the
door. A piece of an old desk top has
been nailed over the gaping space and
the side of "goods" box matches up
with it.

Little Rock Letter

Little Rock, Feb. /.
Gratifying 70 his friends was the
announcement last week that j. NJ.
Futrell, judge of the Twelfth Chan
cery District, was definitely in the
race for Associate Justice Of the Su-
preme Court Ten years ago Judge
Futrell could have had the Office of
Governor by acclamation, but he de-
clined the honor and returned to the
practice of law at Paragould, after
serving a number of months as Acting
Governor. Judge Futrell has made an
excellent record as Chancellor, few of
his decisions being reversed by the
Supreme Court. 1t is known that he
sacrificed a most excellent law prac-
Pocahontas star herald., 1926-02-04

| tice to enter the contest for the Chan
cellorship. but Judge Futrell is the
kind of man who will accept personal
sacrifice to serve his people. 1t is the
prediction of his friends that he will
| top the ticket for Associate Justice,
unless the people of Arkansas have for
gotten the wonderful record he made
while serving them as Governor. Judge
Futrell is not liable to make an active
personal campaign, as he is of the old
school which thought the Office should
seek the man. 1t is therefore up TO
his friends to shell the woods in his
behalf, IL they desire to see him grace
the bench of the Supreme Court.
While there were on definite an
nouncements during the past week, 1t
is now accepted as a fact that Gov.
Tom j. Terral will have opposition for
reelection. Friends of Judge John Il.
Martineau of Little Rock, who was a
candidate two years ago, insist that
he is to become a candidate, and from
Southwest Arkansas comes the rum0r
that Il. l.. Compere of Hamburg,
former prosecuting attorney of that
district, will announce within the next
few weeks. Several conferences have
taken place In Little Rock during the
past ten days in an effort to combine
all factions which oppose Gov. Terral
so that ii may be a two man race.
So far there has been little progress,
due to the willingness of each faction
to supply the candidate. Something
definite may be expected before the
middle of February. Mr.. Coinpere was
an attache of the Arkansas National
Guard headquarters during the ad-
ministration of Gov. Geo. W. DOna-
ghey. During the World War he serv-
ed with Arkansas troops, rising to the
rank Of Colonel.

kansas Advancement Association rela-
tive to the Florida boom, and the part
that Arkansans are taking in it, This
organization made an appeal through
the papers of Arkansas, for the names
of Arkansans who are now residing in
Florida The announced intention was
to get into communication with these
persons, knowing them to be friendly,
to see if they could not be induced to
return to Arkansas when the Florida
boom subsidies, and bring with them
their earnings for Investment. Hardly
before the replies began to come in
from Arkansas, former residents in
Florida, who evidently not only take
the old home paper, but hang upon
every word of it, were flooding the
Arkansas Advancement Association
with letters telling of the greatness of
Florida. Practically every letter end
ed with the statement that Florida
was wonderful, but Arkansas presents
better opportunities for lasting invest
ment. About one third of those who
responded were enthusiastic about re-
turning to Arkansas with the firm in
tention of starting a boom here. Quite
number of the writer's explained that
they had merely gone to Florida to
gather information, but had fallen into
line with the investors, and had made
considerable money to bring back with
them.
The Arkansas Advancement AssOca-
tioD is making a keen analysis of the
Arkansans in Florida, and expect to
receive valuable assistance from this
source, when campaign is launched
to turn the eyes of the world on Ar
kansas. These men and women have
seen miracles performed-hav seen
what appeared to them to be worthless
land. turned almost over night into
palatial estates The Arkansas Ad-
vancement Association reasons that if
such land can be made so valuable,
land far more productive in Arkansas
is capable of the same treatment. The
Arkansas Advancement Association is
endeavoring to stimulate development
without reaching the proportion of
boom. 1t realizes that the state CT
Florida is in the tropics, and is the
playground of the nation, and thou
sands of persons who have the umbi-
tiOn to idle will find it their Paradise,
but believes there are many more thou
sands who have ambition to create-to
weld the fortune which will make pos
sible life of pleasure, and it is these
people whom it hopes to attract TO
Arkansas.

tion has in storage the apples of Porta
Rican yams which it sends each year to
leading financiers and publishers of
the United States. departure viii

portion to the Arkansas Society of

Congressman w. A. Oldfeld. of the
Second District, is living up to his
reputation of being a hard hitter. That
is the faculty that made him the party
whip in the House and Chairman of
the Democratic National Congression-
al Committee. He is taking a prOmin-
ent part in the tariff discussions and
other matters pending in Congress,
attention than he.
Mr.. Oldfield has recently introduced
a number of important measures, in
cluding the following:
To amend the World War Veterans
Act of 1924, making compensation
under the presumption clause" retro
active; this would give a dependent
mother the same rate of compensation
that is given to a wife with no child.
and removes the time limit with re-
ference to the payment of back pre-
miums on the reinstatement Of lapsed
insurance.
To include under the presumption
clause" Of the World War Act of 1924
chronic diseases of the heart or circu-
latory system, diabetes or nephritis.
Having served in the Spanish-Amer-
lean War himself, Mr.. Oldfield has al
ways taken great interest in the vel
fare of the ex-service men, and has
been able to render a valuable service
to many disabled veterans of his dis
trict.
