a distance of three blocks, was given
over to the mummers. King Monus
reigned supreme from early in the
evening until about midnight. Hun
dreds of boys and girls were garbed
in grotesque costumes and thrOnged
the streets. Owing to the fact that
it was the eve of election, the
crowd was not as large as in some

CHILDREN STRIVING TO WIN
SEVERAL PRIZES FOR POSTERS

Wednesday,, November 10, is the
last day for filing the health posters
in the contest arranged by the Del
aware Anti-TuberculOsis Society.
According to reports coming to
Mrs. Edna Palmer Upton, executive
secretary of the society, hundreds
of school children are striving to
win the several prizes offered for
the posters that will depict health
habits such as are embraced in the
Modern Health Crusade now in its
second year in Delaware.
The judges for the poster contest
will be H. B. King, assistant State
superintendent of schools in charge
of the elementary schools of Dover;
Miss Rachael Taylor, in charge of
the art department of the Woman's
College, University of Delaware,
and Mrs. Donald S. Ashbrook, of
Wilmington.
The posters will be examined and
judged for the educational value in
teaching good health habits for the
originality displayed and for neat
ness.
They will be placed on exhibition
at the 9Th annual meeting of the
Delaware Education Association at
Dover on Thursday and Friday,
November IL and 12. This exhibit
will be the only display made by
the Delaware Anti-Tuberculosis So
ciety at the Teachers convention.
In the past few days Mrs. Upton
has received requests for supplies
in the Modern Health Crusade from
more than a score of schools which
have an enrolment of several hun
dred children. Many of these
schools are just beginning the
Health Crusade and will compete
for Squire button.
Mrs. Upton is spending consider
able time in rural Delaware this
week organizing some of the
schools that have sent for the sup
plies and explaining the project to
the principals and teachers.

A single newspaper in one small COM
lmunlty is not so much an activity of that
community as it is the community itself
Informing its members ofits economic and
social needs, discovering to itself its own
conceptions and ambitions, voicing its
aspirations while it is listening to the ma
ton and to the world. In the larger sense,
there is no single newspaper. Each shares
in the great total of nearly I4,ooo dailies,
tri-weeklies, semi-weeklies and weeklies.
In this larger sense the American news
paper constitutes the nerves of our entire
social system. The news that shoots
through these nerves in every direction
contributes to a national consciousness
that emancipates each one of us from the
limitations Of narrow provincialism.
This common sharing in the thoughts,
hopes, fears and ambitions of our fellows
makes US kin. 1t is not that we all think
the same way, but that we have the same
things to think about. 1t may be the news

10000 HAVE DIED.
|OF STARVATION IN
'BELEAGURED CITY.

HANKoW; Oct. .S.-A{Pl-Ten thou
sand have died, most of them of star
walton, in the horror city of Wuchang
since the Cantonese red army began
Its siege at the end Of August The
lfigures are those Of Chinese Officials.
No white man could penetrate the bar
red buildings within. which thousands
succumbed in secret misery.
Five hundred coffihs have been ship-
| ped to Wuchang to bury those tramp
led to death or drowned in the frantic
effort to board boats to take them
across the Yangtze to Hankow and
safety.
! An Associated Press correspondent
who walked today through the streets
of Wuchang found them deserted ex-
cept for neglected dead lying. in the
rcadways. The city which, with Han
kow and HanyAng, formed the COM
mercial center OF middle China, was
desolate, many of its fine buildings
had been destroyed by flame or shell
| fire. The numerous mission structures
were deserted.
Barred shops and dwellings hid from
view the tragedy of death in the city
of half million population, wrought
/ by the besieging Cantonese outside its
walls. Failing in their efforts to carry
Wuchang by direct attack and defeated
in hand to hand fighting in the city's
sereets with its northern army defend
ers the Cantonese at safe distance
maintain a war of attrition-starvation
their weapon.
! 1t is rumored that the Cantonese will
grant the proposal of the defenders to
yield the city if permitted to serve in
the army that has she1led and starved
them. The date for surrender is said
| to be October 10, national holiday
celebrating the founding of the Chan
otic Chinese republic This date, how
ever, is also that set by CantoneAe ulti-
matum for the beginning of a general
! bombardment of the emaciated beings
who crawl about the foodless city.
| Refugees ceased today their desper-
ate struggles to board rescue boats for
Hankow, two miles distant across the
Yangtze. This is believed to reflect
their belief that Wuchang is to be de-
livered to the southern forces, and that
they will be allowed to remain undis-
turbed in their homes.
The humble Chinese civilians have no
part in the struggle of military chief
tains for wealth or aggrandizement, the
prize being the central provinces which
the Cantonese seek to wrest from the
control of Marshal Wu Pei-Fu.
Fifty thousand Wuchang refugees
are receiving the ministrations of the
Red Cross of Hankow and organizations
cooperating in the work of relief and
! charity.

COWBOYS PRESENT
PROGRAM DESPITE
STORM AND SIUSH

JJndaunted by the heavy doWnpour
which was falling early Friday after
noon and the soggy condition OF the
fair grounds, the cowboys who hao
gathered from all sections of Cochise
county to participate in competitive
cowboy sports ~put on their program
as scheduled.
Because of the rain and the gen
eral belief that the sports would no.
be put on, very small number was
in attendance at the start of the
program, but before the final event
opened more than 200 spectators had
gathered.
Contestants in the calf roping con-
test were seriously handicapped by
the muddy grounds, inasmuch as
their horses begged down and were
unable to show much speed. Several
riders failed entirely to rope a calf.
Charles Gardner took first prize of
SIS, his time being 40 seconds. I'm
der the circumstances, his time OF
less than a minute was considered
remarkable. Frank Sproul took Sec
ond prize of $50, time, 1 minute and

third money of SIS, time, l minute
and IL seconds.
Because of the condition Of the
grounds the wild COW milking con-
