Instead of rushing into ratification
OF the prohibition amendment, Wads.

have legislated from time TO time on
the prohibition question, estimated
the results and finally placed a. so.

Hands OF Congress are now tied,
he observes, and it is deprived OF an
opportunity to solve the prohibition
problem as the result OF experience
and public sentiments. He thinks
the Volstead act can be amended
without violating the Eighteenth
ameGdment itself.

Through the authority of Congressl
could establish in this country, in
accordance with local sentiment and

Aid for Temperance
Il believe that some such system

the cause Of temperance than the
scheme we have been trying for the

attempt OF the Federal Government
to force total abstinence upon all
our people, the country is today del

And as we strive to solve the

1t seems very important to the

summer and get bargains when they
want to buy their winter supply Of
coal Or part Of it, and take it without
screening, and call It good, clean coal.
We think it very important to have
coal in our yard to serve the public
twelve months in the year. Do
these people that say they give you
bargains in summer when coal is easy
purchased and prices low-do they
have coal in winter when coal is
scarce and high? No!

Lack of Demand

"No one knows what il back Of this
lack Of demand" said Mr. Derickson,
in commenting on the situation, Eek
cept that there is no demand That's
all onyone seems to know. 1t applies
not only to early apples, but to other
commodities that are going into mar
ket Whether people aren't eating as
much as they used to, or are spending
the money for other things, such as
automobiles, seems to be big found
alton for argument.
"F'rom the New England States we
are told that the textile mills and shoe
plants are only operating two or three
days week, but the people have tc
eat just the same. From some OF
these sources the suggestion is ad-
vanced, that it is due to the greater
use of canned goods and package ar
ticles of food that is cutting down or
the fresh and bulk supply of fruits
and produce, such as apples, peaches
cantaloupes, tomatoes and potatoes
In none Of these states are there ex-
cessive or abnormal crops of fruit anC
produce, so that while the city mar.
kets are apparently glutted, it ISM
due to any over-production."
Delaware peaches will start in thi!
week, and become real good by the
middle Of the month. How they vii
fare and how the crop Of cantaloupe:
will sell are questions which the farm
ers would like to know.
eve have people call US on thu

seem to think that because there is {
Bureau of Markets connected with tht
State Board Of Agriculture that they
should be able to sell the farmers
stuff at all times. We would like to

Dover on Thursday, August the 18th
A meeting Of the members of the
Kent county unit of the Delmarvia
Association will be held at Dover on
Thursday, August 12, for the purpose
Of organization. The meeting will be
held in the afternoon in the assembly
room of Robbins Hose House. A pro-

cation from Salisbury, Md, including
five officials of the association are ex-
pected to be on hand and make ad-
dresses. After the organization a
general discussion will be held on the
outline of the work to be accomplish
ed this year. 1t is now thought that
about $4,000 per year for two years
will be the total amount Of the sub
scriptions received in the county when
the drive is completed during the COM
ing week. One of the main subjects
to be decided upon will be that of the
voting power in the local association,
which is likely to be one vote for each
ten dollars represented in the sub
scriptions.

AUTO BLAMED FOR POOR FRUIT
CONSUMPTION IN DELAWARE
THIS is THE STORY THAT COMES
TO STATE BUREAU OF MARKETS
Observers Claim Present Tendency
for Light Meals Has Reduced De-
mands for Palatable Fruit

While the clothing merchants, shoe
dealers, milliners and score of other
tradesfolk have ben blaming the auto
mobile for a reduction in demand and
consequent falling off in sales, not
until this year has the farmer placed
the odium of lack of demand for
fruit and produce on the purchase and
use Of automobiles. For the first
time in almost fifty years, and with
out any abnormal crop, farmers have
been unable in many states, among
them Delaware, to realize on the crops
of early fruit and produce. Inquiries
made in the leading markets of the
East indicate that it may be due to
the delicatessen lunches, dinners and
suppers that people eat these days
that is responsible for the lack of de-
mand for apples, peaches, cantaloupes
tomatoes, potatoes and other early
foodstuffs now coming into their
prime.
II have been buying apples here for
48 years." said a Bridgeville apple
broker last week, "and never expert
enced the like of this season. Com
mission men won't receive apples on
consignment, and it is almost impos-
sible to get anyone to buy except at
ridiculously low prices. Delaware's
crop of green apples has practically
gone abegging because Of the lack of
demand. The same holds true with
green apples from other states, and
even the red-skinned varieties brought
only a nominal price in the eastern
markets the past week.

Seek New Markets

"In order to try and bolster up
sales of apples, w. I. Derickson, Di-
rector Of the Bureau of Markets at
Dover, sent out hundreds of letters
the past week to fruit dealers and
commission men seeking market for
Dlaware's fruit. He is beginning to
receive replies which are not at all
encouraging. One longtime broker
Of splendid reputation in Pittsburgh
replied that it was foolish to ship any
more apples at this time because he
couldn't sell them. Another broker
in large eastern city, whom Mr.
Derickson called on the telephone, on
receipt of advices that early apples
were selling at more than $1.00 a
bushel, was told not to tell anyone to
send any apples to this market except
at their own risk.
A Wilmington commission man
when asked over the phone from Do
yer, about buying apples, stated that
he has just dumped so bushels of ap-
pies for a friend who had shipped him
the fruit from Kent county, in order
ia save the baskets.
81 couldn't sell these apples at IS
cents bushel," this Wilmington COM
mission man told Mr.. Derickson.

Life, according to the Mennonite
creed, ought to be a simple formula

SEATTLE. July 3. - Representa-
tive John Hanks, of Kittitas County,
told the Young Mems Republican
Club that Gov. Il. H. Hartley spent
$109, 900 while in office on his man
sion since 1925. Former Gov. Louis
Hart only spent $4,000 from 1929
to 1925 HAMS said.
Coy. Hartley told me he has more
timber than he can cut during the
rest of his life" and added that if
the state product was taken off the
market, Hartley would get a better
price for his timber
you know continued Hanks,
the most heroic deed and record OF
a member of the Shackleton eXpe-
dition to the South Pole. was when
his feet became frozen and he real
lied his handicap to his fellows,
went off into the icy wastes. during
a stormy night with the thermometer
at 60 degrees below zero and was
never seen again. 1t seems to me
that when a man knows he is a hind
rance to his own party, he ought to
do the same thing the member of
the Shackleton party did"
