careful inspection of the track
Friday evening showed that even

would not have dried out sufficiently
to make racing safe.
On account of the uncertainty OF
the weather, several of the out of

race Sunday. Some of the racers
were to have left, Phoenix Friday
but when It became known that the
track was wet their engagements
were cancelled because they did not

their cars to the city as long as the
weather was at all uncertain
At least three events OF 10 miles
each will be staged and five en-
tries have already been made in the
Sunday event. Several fast cars are
owned locally and plenty of thrills
are in store for the spectators.

race for standard flat head For%s,
will be staged in addition to the
other events and large nuInper OF

race require that all Fords entered

team here.
Coach Van Antwerp took his candi-
dates through the final workout last
evening and stated they would enter
the game determined to hold the ad-
vantage over the invaders. 1t is possi-
BILE that several last minute changes
in the lineup will be made The sec
ond string has rallied this week to fill
the gaps made by several ineligible
players.
The starting time for the game has
been set for 1:30 p. M, so as not to-
conflict with the. sixth worlds series
baseball game played in New York at
i 80 p. M, eastern time, and which is
received here commencing at 1130 a.
M, mountain time.
The world series game which usually
runs less than two hours will be over
in time for football fans to go to the
Douglas Nogales game at the Tenth
street park grounds.
Considerable in terest has been
shown in the high school football team
this year by citizens and today will be
the first opportunity to get glimpse
of the team in action. The next home
game will not come until late in the
month, when Tucson comes here for
the annual game.
W. W. Anderson will referee the
game, Aaron Levy will umpire, and
Arthur Seaman will act as headlines
man.
The advance sale of tickets indicates
that one of the largest crowds of the
season will attend. Visitors from all
over the county in attendance at the
Cochse fair will probably avail them
selves of the opportunity of seeing
these two light fast teams in action.
The admission is so cents for adults
and 25t cents for children and students.
Former Bulldog football lettermen will
be admitted free to all home games.

The game today ushers in the foot
ball season and officially goes on rec
ord as the first Southern Arizona con-
ference tilt. The teams are eager for
the whistle and will enter the game
with real fighting spirit.
Judging, from past performances, the
teams are evenly matched, both in
weight and experience, so closely
contested game will probably be on
hand for the, large crowd that will wit
ness the game.
Not much dope has leaked out of the
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-10-09

and smearing plays seems to be the
chief defect of the Bulldogs. With the
exception of Miller, the back field is
slow in getting started on plays and
following interference. The line has
improved since the Mesa game, but lack
of aggressiveness. and fight on the de-
fense caused the opponents to make
yardage where they should have been
thrown for losses. The coaches hope
that the team will uncork some real
scrap in todays fray and turn back

Coach Eugene Johnston of the
Apache team stated last night in an
interview that his team was light, but
that speed would probably be decid-
ing factor. A strong aerial attack for
which former Apache teams have been
noted is not lacking in this years
team, according to reports. Nogales
has two victories already this season
and will be hard to stop today.

Delaware farmers will be quick
to see where their interests are
covered by the annual eXpendi-
ture of a sum of money for in
surance. There is lack of care
and study of the problems which
are on every farm. Many barns
are burned through the use of
lanterns, made more necessary
through lack of care in planning
thought in routing the barn
chores, in placing the feeding
facilities so that they are prac-
tically automatic even without a
light, would save millions every
year and would cost hardly a
penny. Barns are left uninsur-
ed because under ordinary con-
ditions they are dangerous and
high-priced risks, it would be
far better to insure, however
rather than to try to carry ones
own hazard; but the danger
might be greatly reduced by
definite planning"

The Milford Chronicle calls at
tention to so many farm fires on
which "there was no insurance
carried by the owner. One of
the main aims of the Farm Bu-
reau in Delaware should be, to
urge all farmers to understand
and show to the owners Of farm
property or stock on farms, the
business necessity for them to
carry insurance. The dangerous
habit of smoking about farm
buildings, is responsible fol-
much of the loss; but, if a cam

FAVOR OPENING RIVER INLET
Old Project Discussed at Enthusiastic
Meeting Held at MillsbOrO Last Week

Old Project Discussed at Enthusiastic
Meeting Held at MillsbOrO Last Week
Representative citizens and business
men from all sections of lower Della
ware attended a meeting in DOdd's
Hall, Millsboro, on Tuesday afternoon
of last week, to discuss the subject
of opening the Indian River Inlet,
which has been closed for some time
and has been proving a menace to the
sea food industry of Indian River and
Indian River Bay. The meeting was
called at the suggestion of Colonel
Earl l. Brown, of Wilmington, in
charge of the government engineer
ing force of this district. The main
question was whether or not the peO-
pie desired the continuation of pro-
ject of about 30 years ago to cut a
channel from MillSboro to the Allan
tic, a depth of four feet and 200 feet
wide, or to consider the opening of
the inlet, which it is figured will cost
approximately 100000. A few
months ago the people of the south
ern part of the county subscribed
$1,000 to defray the cost of having
the government engineers make a
survey and Senator T. c. DUPONT con-
tributed $500, making the total sub
scmption amount to $25OO. The en-
| gineers made a survey of the water
way and have all of the necessary
data in the event that the project fol
opening the inlet goes through. Ad-
+ dresses were made at the meeting by
Frank NJ. Jones, Georgetown, repre-
senting Linford P. Faucet, of Phila
delphia, who is a large land owner il
that section of Delaware; forme
clerk of the Orphans Court, ClifforC
f. Burton, of Angola; DR.. ]. X. Hook

gives this expression to the
boom to exploit the advantages
of the Delaware-Maryland-Vi -Vir-

"Now, let Florida look to its
laurels. And let California, with
its oranges, peacans and bath
ing beauties, sit up and take no
tice! There is another little
spot on the map of the United
States, not so large, perhaps, as
the Pacific coast State, nor the
Southern State where the alli-
gators are just one step ahead
of the realty boosters, that is
destined to become as well
known to the people of the cOun-
try within a few years, as Cali
fornia or Florida.
Delaware, and those parts of
Maryland and Virginia that
with the Blue Hen State go to
make up the Delmarvia PENN
sula, are preparing to broadcast
the advantages of this 'Iittle bit
of Heaven" to the world at large
and not by any ordinary broad
casting station at that.
"The manifold benefits of the
peninsula rivaling many of those
in Florida or California, to bt
enjoyed at far less cost, will bt

him as an explorer of unknown
lands. High officials said nice
things about him. Beautiful ladies
paid him pretty compliments.
Then along came innocent June
Harries, 6 year old Seattle girl
who didn't merely grasp the ex-
plorer's hand and pass along. Nc
sir-she stopped long enough to
ask if Amundson really saw San
ia Claus at the North Pole. All
the rest of us had forgotten that.
Not June! And Amundsen, grand
old man, was equal to the question.
"To be sure / saw him. He was
busy as could be making up pres

and boys and he said he'd be down
here with his reindeer next Christ
mas just as he always has,"

the children are satisfied, mother

~ summer--such as fresh fruit
garden vegetables, mentioning
circuses, aleeping-porches, swim

the workingman's point-of-view it
just seems as though summer is
first of all the season for straight
away, unadulturated and undis-
turbed loafing. And when we use
"workingman" in this connection
we mean every man and women
who is earning living, every wo-
man and man who is keeping house
and every boy and girl who is go
ing to school or college.
The economist who discovers a
means whereby the world can earn
a living and create an estate in the
nine months from September l to
June should be sainted, knighted,
degreed (that is by universities,
not juries), elected to some good
paying public office and pensioned.
Even though the formula has not
been discovered, there should be
great ne-making possibilities
in high-powered advertising Of
such prescription secretly dis
covered and offered to distressed
public for the first time.

of the toiling world rises up a.

of humanity which works. What
