The Cave Neck School was found
to be a log cabin whitewashed and
kept in almost fair condition. This
school is 1.3 miles from Milton
school and was another example of
the need of a grade school and the
uselessness of operating such
school with a small attendance.
Although not on the itinerary,
Harmon school for the Nanticoke In
dian children was visited. The build
ing here is similar to those built for
negroes by the Delaware School
Auxiliary.
For Late Corners
After reviewing the agricultural
situation in all the rural school dis
tricts and the problem of having
boys coming in late in the season,
DR.. Holloway suggested that a spe-
cial course be established for these
boys, with a special teacher. As it is
now, the boys come in near October
and go into the classes with small
children and disrupt the routine of
the school.
Another suggestion made by DR..
Holloway was that some of the
schools where the situation is worse
than others, session should start in
August and continue to September
and then start again in October,
thus giving the boys chance both to
go to school and work on the farms
during the harvesting period.

Democratic Party, tickets of the two
leading parties in Delaware will be
completed and ready to present for
consideration and approval by vot-
ers. This year there will be several
local issues, which will affect men
and women who will have to decide
as to the merits of legislative can
didates, without regard to their party
affiliations. OF greatest Importance
to the men and women who respect
laws and want them enforced, is the
attitude of candidates for the Sen
ate and House towards enforcement
of laws as to regulation of all moral
questions. The modification of pro-
hibition laws in any form, will have
great weight as to how the ballots
will be cast, with thousands of vo-
ters. There is also an activity on
the part of those who are interest
ed in the administration of rail-
roads, to have men sent to the State
Senate. who are friendly towards
railroads in Delaware. This has
been an interest which for forty
years has had strong hold of legis-
lation by the legislators of Delaware.
In fact for many years the Senate Of
Delaware was dominated by men
who saw that nominations for men,
bership in that body, were friendly
TO the railroad interests. Of late
years conditions have changed as to
public transportation, so that the
necessity for control was not urgent.
During the recent campaigns and
primary elections, more than the
usual activity has been shown as to
whom each party should nominate.
This will have some effect upon re-
suits of the present election; but the
people are more interested in the
problem OF how to rebuild the school
] buildings, or supply those which are
urgently needed, and that problem
+ will have to be settled during the
next session of the legislature.
There is a certainty, which has
become fixed in the minds of men
and women in all parts Of Della
ware, that new schools have got tc
be provided for the children who
now outnumber the capacity of the
old buildings. This plan can and will
be solved without issuing bonds for
the purpose. There will not, and
must not be nny attempt to boost
tax rates to accomplish this object
neither must there be any attempt
made to repeal the filing fee which
is now the only form of tax that
thousands of non-property holders
nay for the education Of their chill
dren, or support of the county gov
ernments. Should this tax be re-
pealed, it will be necessary to place
additional tax upon the land and
real estate, to make up the loss OF
money which is needed for the edu-
cation of the children and keep the
school buildings in repair.
This is an important issue for
every man and woman in Delaware
to understand and vote accordingly
The tickets as to personnel named
so far, are about the average as to
mental capacity, Of men usually
placed upon the rolls of the legisla-
| ture; and, as there is not any ma
tional issue involved, this election is
just a home affair, which should be
solved by the people themselves
through their votes.
What is needed in State and Coun-
ty administration, is practical bus
mess common sense, without any
waste or bad management in public
affairs.

FROM export records, we learn
that eleven million five hundred bus
hels of American grain have been
shipped during the last two months
to European ports-England, France,
Germany, and Belgium-in United
States Shipping Board vessels. This
represents the early grain crop from
Southern Kansas, Oklahoma, and
Texas, and the Shipping Board has a
schedule of vessels sailings to con-
tinue shippings for an indefinite per-
iod. Back of this happening stands
a request of President Coolidge. The
farmers it appears some months ago
in advance of the harvest, represent
ed to the President that what they
were afraid of was dearth of ship
ping vessels which would not only
pile up elevator costs on them, but
might prevent sales abroad. AS Il
result the President gave orders to
the Shipping Board that they were at
once to prepare vessels and make
them available, and his request was
acted on so promptly that shipments
were started in July. This represents
a nine million dollar grain move
ment, and before it is completed, it
is expected that the Western farm
ers will have received some sixteen
millions of dollars for their crops.

The finest school in the county
was found at Lewes, the building
having been erected in 1921 by the
school district and the Delaware
School Auxiliary. Here, the school
board was entertained at lunch by
the girls of the home economics
course and after lunch, the building
was inspected. Conditions were ideal,
similar to those existing in all the
schools built by the Delaware School
Auxiliary.
Another ideal school was the Hol-
lymount Consolidated Grade school,
also built by the School Auxiliary.
There are three rooms here, but one
is vacant. DR.. Holloway considered
this a waste on the part Of the cit
liens of the surrounding communi-
ties, who persist in sending their
children to the one-room schools.
Some of these people refuse to pat
ronize the Hollymount school be-
cause they are afraid of school bus
ses. DR.. Holloway stated it wouldn't
cost them "a red cent" to use the
building.

DES MONIES, Iowa, November 10.
j. G. Mitchell, secretary of the
Iowa agricultural and Industrial com
mission. today issued a statement sug-
gesting that Iowa grain shippers di-
vert their grain from the Chicago
market to terminals within the State
to avoid what he terms market
abuses" and lack of protection for
the producing public
Mr.. Mitchell has been designated
by the commission as it's representa-
tive In the investigation of grain
adulteration, and his statement re-
cords his dissatisfaction with the atti-
tude of the Chicago Board of Trade
and the Illinois Commerce Commits
sion concerning the case now pend
ing in the Supreme Court of the Dis
trict of Columbia.
while the matter is being debated
!n the courts" Mr.. Mitchc!rs state
ment says. "the producers have an
available remedy-they may divert
shipments from q market that arro-
gantly refuses to enforce it's rules
for their protection. Grain can be
shipped to and handled at num-
her Of Iowa points, such as Cedar
Rapids, Davenport, Burlington, Des
Moines. Sioux City and Council
Bluffs.
"It does not follow that existing
discriminatory freight rates consti-
tute an insupcrablc objection. 1t is
still possible for the p.oducer to lose
more through market abuses and
price manipulation than through dis
advantageous rates.
IF the shippers will adopt this sug-
Kestion they will not only afford
themselves a protection, not other
wise available. but will build up the
commerce of the State and help
solve a number of its economic prob
lens. Hedging can be done in a

In this little gray pamphlet, dis
tributed to all entering freshmen, the
rules and regulations governing the
social life of the freshmen are set
forth. In it one learns that under
