2 CANDIDATE FOR LEVY COURT

John r. Francis and Herman Staats
are Aspirants-G Governor May Appoint
John R. Francis of Taylors' Bridge,
and Herman H. Stats, of near Smyr-
ma, have filed as candidates for the
Democratic nomination of Levy Court
commissioned from the Seventh Levy
Court district.
The district comprises Blackbird
and Appoquinimink hundreds and is
at present represented by James Hart,
Democrat.
For several weeks the question of
whether a successor to Commissioner
Hart could legally be elected or would
have to be appointed by the Governor
has been discussed in political circles.
The discussion arose after an exam
ination of the opinion handed down
more than year ago in the Superior
Court in the case of Caulk VS.. Hart.
Royden Caulk had been elected COM
missioner from the district in Novem-
Der, 1924, but Hart, who had been
elected two years previous, refused to
give up his seat Caulk brought man.
damus proceedings but lost. The court
held that Hart was elected for four
and not two years.
Leaders in both the Republican and
Democratic parties had decided, it is
reported, that an election and not an
appointment by the Governor, will be
the proper procedure to follow to fill
the vacancy which will occur when
Hart's term expires in January.
1t is expected that at least one Re
publican will file at Republican head
quarters for the Republican nomina-
tion as commissioner from the district
which normally is Democratic.
George T. Slant, of Townsend, who
filed for Representative in the Four
teenth Representative district, will be
opposed by Edward Hart, of Town
send. The district covers Appoqrtin-
mink hundred. Both are former Rep
resentatives.

PARENTS ARE NEGLECTFUL
Teachers at Summer Sessions Declare
Pupils Have Many Virtues

Boys and girls in the high schools
may be lazy, but also they have many
virtues. Their parents, however, are
showing a growing tendency to be
shirkers. Thus, once more, a group
Of teachers attending the summer ses-
sions of the University Of Pennsyl-
vania School of Education at a sym
postum on secondary education joined
in praise of modern youth The teach
ers represented schools in fourteen
States. Frankness, the educators
agreed, was the outstanding virtue of
the younger generation. Iniative and
a spirit of cooperation were set down
as the next important among the ex-
cellent qualities of the pupils.
An emphatic "no" was the response
to the question if the oft-repeated
charge was true that modern boys and
girls are "flippant, rebellious against
discipline and tradition and lacking in
serious purpose"
Ninety-fve per cent Of the educa
tors agreed that the parent of today
is showing too great a tendency to
shift the burden Of child training from
the home to the school. The reasons
given for that tendency were not fiat
tering to the fathers and mothers.
The parents are giving too much at
tention to interests outside the home,

JAILS HUBBY TO REFORM HIM
Sussex Woman Causes the Arrest of
Her Drunken Husband

Determined to break him of the
habit of driving his automobile while
under the influence of liquor, Mrs.
Annie M. Parsons last Saturday made
her second complaint against her hus
band, Edward H. Parsons, a young
farmer residing near Bacon, between
Laurel and Delmar, which landed him
in the workhouse. Upon being given
a hearing before Justice of the Peace
James D. Spicer of Bacon, fine of
5000 and costs was imposed upon him
and the magistrate committed him to
the New Castle County Workhouse for
six months. This was his second Of
fense within less than a week Two
weeks ago Mrs. Parsons caused her
husbands arrest and a fine of 500
and costs was imposed upon him. On
Sunday morning, when he began to
sober from the effects of the Sussex
moonshine, the fine was paid and he
was released. When the first arrest
was made, Mrs. Parsons was riding
with him and noticed that her hus-
band could not steer clear of passing
machines. Several accidents were
narrowly averted. Finally she took
the wheel and pulled the machine to
one side of the road and notified the
officers who placed him under arrest.
Mrs. Parsons said she knew no better
way to stop her husband from drink
ing.

Diarrhea Seems to be Worst Menace

"Bacillary white diarrhea is unusual
distinct from most diseases, in that it
is transmitted as a usual thing thru
the egg. The baby chick is born with
the disease, and it usually destroys
the chick within the first ten days or
two weeks of it's life. We probably
know more about bacillary white
diarrhea, its life cycle, than we do
about other diseases, due to the fact
that much research has been done
upon this problem. 1t has been found
that hens known as Carriers" Of the
germ can be detected by blood test.
These hens, when eliminated from a
flock, tend to diminish, and eventually
eliminate the possibilities Of the dis
ease being present in baby chicks
from that flock.
''This is one Of the principal duties
of this laboratory. In testing focks
for white diarrhea, we tend not only
to eliminate this dangerous disease,
but to strengthen the confidence of
the buying public in baby chicks pur-
chased in the State of Delaware. Dur
ing the past Matching season there
were probably 100000 baby chicks

Coal

1t seems very important to the
purchasing public to shop around in
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!
We are prepared to fill your bins
now. Let US have your orders now
while coal is at the lowest price.

PatholOgist Tested $4,000 Birds
A great many states are rapidly
taking up this work, and in order to
keep pace with their neighbors, to
cause Delaware products to be equally
as popular in the open market, this
plan was instituted in this state. We
have in that connection tested 36,400
birds contained in 124 focks, distrib-
uted well over the State, but for the
most part being in Sussex county.
Flocks meeting the requirements of
the State Board of Agriculture of the
State Board of Agriculture were ac-
credited, and hatcheries meeting this
requirement were certified. This tend
ed to put premium on their products
The work was new, the standards set
for flock owners were not as rigid as
they will be in the course of five or
SIX years. However, people were en-
lightened as to the object Of the work,
and they have responded most unus-
ually.
1--WE have at the present time, re
quests to test between $4,000 and co.
900 birds annually in this state. 1t
can readily be seen that unless our
capacity is increased, there will be a
large per cent of flock owners that
cannot receive the benefits of this
work. A charge of five cents was
made to cover the cost of collecting
the blood samples.
eve have taken in $1,823.30. Our
original appropriation was $4,000 a
year, making total Of S6,823.30. 1t
has cost US is cents to test each sam
pie. The amount Of work dine on the
appropriation available compares very
favorably with previous work here
and in neighboring states. We have
in addition to this work made 145 Wis
its to farms in various parts of the
State for purpose of assisting in dis
ease control.
Service at Command of POultrymen
''The services of the laboratory
have been at the command not only of
poultrymen, but other live stock men
and veterinarians as well. There were
404 specimens, comprising 381 chick
ems, s horses, 3 dogs, 2 cows, 8 turk
eys and 3 hogs, that have been exam
ined in the laboratory the past year.
We have attended and participated in
the programs at four meetings out of
the State and nine within the State.
Over $4,000 &C. Of roup vaccine has
been prepared and distributed to flock
owners within the State This vaccine
in the open market would cost ten
cents a dose, making a total value of
$500. The work has been new and
there were many obstacles to over
come, but the poultrymen throughout
the State were very responsive and
enthusiasm is greater now than it has
been at any time during the year.

HOW ABOUT IT, DON?

Don II. Evans has been elected
County Engineer Of King county
without opposition. He stands in
a vey enyiable position. But
sometimes such position is a
sure forerunncr Of a mighty fall.
Already an ugly rumor is going
the rounds concerning an alleged
'double cross" which is placed at
the door oil Mr.. Evans.
The story purports that last
summer Mr. Boar,hnan, whom the
News Record is informed is a very
capable engineer, was considering
the idea Of running for the nominal
ton for engineer against Mr.. Ey-
ans. Rumor says that Mr.. Evans
held conference with Mr.. Board
man at which meeting "a gentle
mans agreement" was reached
whereby Boardman was to keep
out of the race, and Evans was
to make Boardman his chief dep.
uty. AT any rate, Boariman didn' I
file for the nomination, and Mr..
Evans was elected without opposi-
ton. 1t is now claimed that Mr..
Boaldman has been notified that
his services viii no longer be need
ed in the Office after the first OF
January, and that the reason given
for this action is that Tommy Bee
man wants the job aud that Ev-
ans has agreed TO put it on plat
ter for him
This paper hopes there isn't any
truth in this story. If any man
makes a political promise it should
be as binding as his bond. Ii
Evans promised this job to Board
man, he should keep his promise,
Matt Quay was accused of about
every periidy under the sum but
that of not keeping his political
promises. We never heard any
one accuse Quay Of that If a
mans wosd ism { good what can
be said of him that is good2 There
is but one thing worse than a
double crosses-that's triple
erosser. We hope Mr.. Evans isn't
either.
