She was amazed at the storm Of

like taking an unfair advantage. I
dislike winning you with an illu-

gave the room it's color, had not be-

It was pitifully easy to erase the
traces of Maxine, her clothes, the
toilet articles in the bathroom, and
a package, of letters, which soma
burned. The paper was dusty and
yellow with age. Sonia thought
the writing resembled Walter Hen
dorson's. But she would have
scorned looking at the signature

Don came at o'clock. He looked
very dignified and professional In his

but with something infinitely appeal

MARYLAND HAS POOR
PROSPECTS FOR CANNERIES
Acreage Planted For Industry Is
Cut Nearly One-Half

Because of adverse market condi-
tions which have arisen within the
last few years and which reached
their climax in 1925, the prospects
for the season in Marylands canning
industry and for large number of
farms chiefly dependent on this in
dustry for income are regarded as
far from encouraging.
In many instances the entire 1925
pack remains unsold on the shelves
of the packers and jobbers. Small
Gamers, unable to finance under
these conditions, cannot operate this
year. 1t is estimated that 25 per
cent of the Maryland canneries will
not be opened. Stronger Gamers,
unwilling to operate on a scale COM
parable with other years, announced
contract prices which discouraged
planting and it is estimated that the
acreage planted for canneries in
Maryland is little more than half the
maximum of previous years.
1t is generally agreed that the
three principal causes for last years
losses are the reduction in the tariff
on imported goods, over production
in this country, and the lack of or
ganizatiOn, which created an un-
stable and improbable market
among Maryland packers.

ASKS WHETHER EMPRINCHAM
REPRESENTS EPISCOPAL CHURCH
One OF Audience Monday Night Sub
mits Argument To Contrary

The following article was handed
to the Chronicle on Tuesday with a
request that it be published. 1t
speaks for itself:
There is a persistent effort to
misrepresent the Protestant Episco-
pal Church of this country in it's re-
lations to the National Prohibition
Act, and the Rev. James Empring-
ham, either with or without pay, is
permitting his name and person to
be used in this policy of misrepre-
sentation.
Rev. Empringham, we are inform
ed, was born in England and holds
Canadian orders. We hope, cons1o-
ering his activities in relation to
our laws, he has become an Ameri-
can citizen by this time.
1t is true he has had varied ca
reer during which he became, sS-
cording to his own statement last
Monday night, superintendent of the
Metropolitan District of the New
York Anti-SaloOn League. He did not
tell us just why he resigned as rec

associated with the Anti-Saloon
League. Or. George C. Wadsworth,
rector of Christ Church, Oil City,
Pa, a member of the unofficial
Church Temperance Society of the
Episcopal Church, is reported to
have said in a sermon that the rea-
son given for Rev. Empringham's
association with the Anti-Saloon
League was that "he felt a special
call to the work." and in the same
sermon he goes on to state that 'it
was an open secret that the book,
The Episcopal Church, for Which
Does She Stand?' published by Rev.
Empringham, had greatly interfer-
red with his usefulness as a parish
priest"
Some months ago he assumed the
right to speak for the Episcopal
Church of this country on the mat
ter of temperance, he being at that
time, we are told, connected with an
Organizatio~ known as the Episco-
pal Temperance Society, at which
time his society declared in favor of

DELAWARE BANKS STAND
NINTH In UNDIVIDED PROFITS
Statistics Just Released By Bank
Commissioner HOrSey

Statistics just released by State
Bank Commissioner Harold Horsey
show that the banks of Delaware are
in healthy condition. The total re-
sources are the largest ever report
ed by the state banks. The aggre-
gate individual deposits are $88,077,-
714.82, or over 100000 more than
ever before reported by these insti-
tutions. There is an increase of
$5,086, ,70032 in loans and discounts
over those of year ago. The report
also shows total increase of al
most $500,000 in capital stock of the
state banks during the past year.
Surplus and undivided profits, in
cluding reserves, are $1,097 ,440.20
more than year ago. This increase
and the statistics compiled of all the
state banking institutions in the Uni
ted States, published since July 1,

ninth in the list of States as to the
ratio of surplus and undivided pro-

WILL ANSWER
FACE The FACTS ARGUMENT
Avenue Methodist Episcopal Church
Sermon Sunday viii Be Interesting

"Face the Facts" will be the topic
of the Rev. Disston w. Jacobs SER
mon at the Avenue Methodist Epis-
copal Church in Milford next Sun
day morning. He will answer the ar
guments made by the speakers at
the meeting last Monday night un-
der the auspices of the Association
Against the Prohibition Amendment.
All open-minded people who want to
hear and know both sides of this
question will attend the service of
some protestant church in this COM
munity next Sunday morning. There
are some interesting things to be
said in reply to the speakers of last
Monday night. Their abuse of the
protestant churches of this commun-
ity and our nation; their intentional
deception in their personal inter
probation of the scriptures; their
cowardly castigation of the finest
generation of youth this country has
ever known; their unwarranted de-
of the highest type of
citizenry of this nation, and their
appeal to the spiritual
are some of the points to be answer
ed.

REGISTRATION LIGHT
THROUGHOUT STATE
At Milford First Days Enroll
ment Was Much Less Than
In 1924.

Reports from every election dis
trict in the State indicate that the
enrolment to qualify at the Novem-
ber elections was the smallest in
years. In Wilmington the drop was
very perceptable. Some few districts
reported increases, but they were
very few. At Milford, two of the
three districts report heavy drops III
the registration total, while the third
district shows a slight increase. The
First Election District of the First
Representative District of Sussex
County, registration place the State
ArmOry in Milford, showed an en-
rollment of 125. Two years ago Iae
registration was $50. In the First
of the Tenth of Kent County, east
side of Milford, the enrolment was
78. Two years ago 116 qualified the
first day. The first registration day
in the Second of the Tenth is always
held at Houston. This year 165 vO-
ters qualified. Two years ago only
149 were added to the list at Hous-
ton. Two years ago the total regis
tration in the three districts on the
first day was sos voters. Last Sat
urday only 1858 were enrolled, MAX
ing a loss of 227 as against two
years ago.
