cisco, president Of the latter line,
have been cited by Chief Justice
Mccoy, OF the District Supreme
Court, to show cause Friday why
they should not be enjoined from
proceeding with the sale of the five
President class ships, now being
operated under the name OF the
American Oriental Mail Line, plying
between Seattle. China, japan and
the Philippines.
The order Of the court is based
on a petition for injunction filed by
Charles E. Peabody, the Puget

IL others, represented by Attorneys
McKenney & Flannery, OF this city.
The ships intended to be sold are
the President Grant, President Jack

Mckinley and President Madison.
The compliments allege that the
Shipping Board declined to receive
and accept a bid Of $4,000. 900,
which they made April Is, last. for
the ships, and accepted a bid OF
Dollar and his company for $4,500,-
900. They also assert that anchor
ages were made in the specification
which permitted Dollar to divert
one or more OF the ships Of his
other lines.

Delaware is one of the leading

record for a State with such a

that record and, instead of lag

disrespect for the law and indif-
ference to duty and responsible
ity on the part of the average
citizen, Leonard E. Wales, Will
mington attorney, addressed an
audience of about 5000 persons
Friday evening when the ''Sign-
ers' Day" program of the indie
pendence Week celebration was
presented.
"The true test Of citizenship
is how the citizen meets his du-
ties and obligations, not how he
enjoys his privileges" Mr.Wales
said. "While at present we need
fear no foe from without, there
are foes within, there are men
acing conditions, which require
serious consideration.
eve need not become unduly
excited or alarmed about COM
munism, although it is a social
disease that needs to be careful
ly watched and checked before it
spreads too far, for it can and
will, if unrestrained, undermine
and destroy the foundations of
our government. The red flag
will never displace the Stars and
Stripes, unless the American
people are false in their trust.
eve cannot entirely blame the
Eighteenth Amendment for gen
eral disrespect for the law, al
though it must be credited with
a large share Of it. In the light
Of after events there are many
decent and respectable people
who believe that this amend
ment was not only unwise but
unnecessary.
'In this connection, the Ian
guage of William Howard Taft,
now chief Justice Of the Su-
preme Court, seems almost pro-
phetic. In the course Of lee
ture on citizenship delivered be-
fore the student body Of Yale
University, he said: ''In cases
where the sale of liquor cannot
be prohibited in fact, it is far
better to regulate and diminish
the evil than to attempt to
stamp it out" He further de-
clared that nothing was more
foolish and at variance with
sound public policy than to enact
a law which by reason of sur
rounding conditions was incap-
able Of enforcement. And this
was some time before the Eigh-
teenth Amendment was passed.
Whatever may be our indi-
vidual opinion on this subject,
one thing is certain, disrespect
for one law breeds disrespect for
all laws, and open defiance and
disrespect for law also breeds
disaster to our institutions. Pub
lie opinion and the ballot are the
proper and lawful weapons we
should use to combat any law
that does not reflect the popular
will. The indifference of the av-
erage citizen is the other insid-
ious enemy to our existing insti-
tutions. Disrespect for the law
and indifference to duty are
closely related and go hand in
hand.

Preventive Measure in
Dealing With Diseases

Several years ago sheep producers
of the corn belt became convinced that
If they were to grow sheep profitably
they must rotate their pastures in or
der to prevent worms from injuring
their flock. In more recent years the
hog producers have adopted similar
plan in order to avoid many of the
poultry producers are beginning to
realize that many Of the diseases that
are causing heavy flock losses can be
prevented by following plans similar
to those adopted by sheep and hog
men.
Most heavy poultry losses can be
traced to the fact that the birds are
raised on the Same ground year after
year without paying attention to the
prevention of worm infestation or
disease infection.
DIR. Charles Murray, Iowa State coll
lege, who inspects the sick poultry
sent to Ames by Iowa farmers, is re-
sponsible for the statement that COO
cidiosis is the cause of large per-
centage of the loss among young
chickens, especially among those that
are over two weeks of age. In out
lining the trouble, Doctor Murray lays
particular emphasis on the need Of
preventive measures in dealing with
the disease.
In all poultry diseases prevention is
a. -Ie
difficult to treat individually.

Report DISCOVERY of
Vast Marble Riches

Members of Chilean photographic
commission, rowing among the islands
off Cape Horn, have discovered vast
quantities of marble, said to equal in
quality that of Carrara The marble
was found in group of lonely islands
to the north of Punta Arenas, near
the straits of Magellan. According to
the report of scientists attached to
the commission, small islands In the
vicinity are made up entirely of pure
marble. Resembling marble palaces
in appearance, the islands have in
dehted harbors that permit the en-
trance of ocean liners. Several c. the
larger islands are said to be made up
of pure white marble, their peaks
nearly half mile high, glistening in
the sun so clearly that sailors miles
away have mistaken them for snow
capped peaks. The islands lie about
thirty miles off the regular ship routes
through the straits. 1t is claimed that
enough of the highest quality of mar
BILE exists to supply the demands of
South America for centuries, and 1t
can be cut at a very low cost.

GOOD SUGGESTIONS
FOR WINTER LAYER

The successful poultryman knows
that the winter eggs are the profit
able eggs. He knows, too. that to
secure constant supply of eggs dur
ing winter the laying hens must be
kept comfortable. The condition Of
the poultry house at this season Is
therefore of great Importance.
"A hen that uses up the food given
her to keep her body warm cannot
be expected to lay many high-priced
eggs" says Prof. d. S. Weaver of
the department Of agricultural en-
cheering at the North Carolina State
college. 1--WE should look to the con-
dition Of the poultry house and see
that there is plenty of litter on the
floor; that the walls are tight to
prevent drafts and that we have win
dows to admit light and air. These
are requisite for heavy production
of winter eggs"
Professor Weaver states that the
windows should open on the south
side of the house and should be
equipped with curtains so that they
might be raised during the day to
admit sunlight and air and closed
at night to keep out the cold.
Longer working days for the hens
may be secured by installing cleo
trio lights, states Professor Weaver.
An automatic switch may be used to
turn on the lights before daylight in
the morning and after shutdown in
the afternoon. Such switch will
save lots of trouble and add to the
egg production when the proper
amount of good feed is supplied.
"Nor should we forget that hens
like plenty of water In winter" says
Professor Weaver. "This water should
be ice cold but fresh and pure each
day."
