10000 AUTO LICENSES
HAVE BEEN ISSUED
Big Rush Past Week Put State
Departments Up To High
Speed.

While the rush for automobile IL
censes, operators licenses and til
ties is over, the titling and licen-
sing departments at the State
House at Dover are still very busy
Strengthening out details that could
not be attended to during the stren-
uous last hours of Monday, Tues
day and Wednesday. The office
force worked nights the past week
the same as the week before. but
from now on it is expected that the
work can be cared for during the
daylight hours.
The fact that this year every title
had to be submitted to the Titling
Department at Dover made a tre-
mendous mail for the state capital.
probably the heaviest in the history
of the office.
Some of the titles were tempor-
arily lost in the mails, some were
not addressed where the owners
expected them to be sent and a pa
tience such as Job was credited
with and the acumen and wisdom
of King Solomon, were required
before things were adjusted and
some of them are not completed
yet.
Up to yesterday about $4,000
pleasure car licenses had been is
sued, which is as many licenses as
were issued during the entire
twelve months two years ago. In
addition to these there was a couple
| ,e AhnvTCnv,1
granted so that the total to date is
nearly 10000. The remainder will
be issued as the owners seek re-
newals of licenses. When asked
what suggested changes might aid
the department in speeding up the
business, State Titling Officer
| PrOuse said:
about the most important lesson
that might be obtained from the
rush of the past two weeks, would
be to continue the plan of educating
the public to get their license tags
earlier in the year. I would like tC
see the sale of license tags and
other details start October 1. That
would give us time without en-
ploying so many extra clerks to at
tend to the early business and have
the tags ready to mail out on De-
cember 1. Much of the confusion
of the past few days has been the
tremendous business we were com.
PEELED to do within such a short
/ time.
"In Pennsylvania all licenses ex-
pire on December 81, and I think il
would be good plan to make the
same provision in Delaware. II
wouldn't matter when the date was
fixed, if it was January or 25
there would always be the same last
hour drive for license tags and ii.
ties so that we might just as well
end the year on December 81 as OF
January 5. The best plan Of al
would be to have all states agree
on a fixed date for the expiration

CENTREVILLE PLANT TO PACK
MILK

Thousands of pounds of Queen
Anne's county milk, condensed and
sweetened by a special new process
at the Centreville plant of Harbe-
son Diaries, will now be shipped
each week to leading bakers, con-
fectioners and ice cream manufac-
turers in Philadelphia and other
Eastern cities.
In striking contrast to the recep-
tacles used in the great majority Of
milk condensing plants, where the
fluid is placed in tiny tins, Centre
Ville's milk is condensed and pack
ed in huge wooden barrels.
Tons of sugar will be used to
sweeten the milk to the proper con-
sistency for the condensed product,
and already several shipments have
been made to Philadelphia bakers
and confectiOners. AS local pro-
ducers increase their milk sales,
more and more Of the Harbeson sur
plus will be transformed by the
new process, and sold in barrels.

NO FARM AID GIVEN BY
ADJOURNED CONGRESS

Congress has adjourned at Washing
ton without having made any motion
toward agricultural aid.
The administration has found little
favor with the agricultural states and
the following is a reason:
1. Industries are protected by high
tariff wall, that increases the price OF
goods the farmer buys.
2. Railroads are protected by the
Esch-Cummins act, and by the Inter.
state Commerce Commission.
8. Labor got the Adamson law, and
it is protected by the immigration law
to keep out labor.
4. The banks are protected by the
federal reserve law.
>. But agriculture which holds one
fifth of the tangible national wealth.
which has purchasing power of S1O,-
OO0,OOO,0O0 year, which buys $60OO,-
100000 worth Of manufactured prod
ucts or one-sixth of the output, which
supplies one-eighth Of the freight ton
mage of the railroads, furnishes one
half of our exports and pays one-fifth
the taxes, is without protection.

TERRAL ASKS SUPPORT
OF HIS BANNER COUNTY

Thomas ]. Terral, governor of Ar
kansas and candidate for second
term, appears through the Star Her
aid this week asking the support OF
the voters of Randolph county at the
Democratic primary August 10.
In the primary in 1924, Mr.. Terral
swept Randolph county, getting a
greater percentage of the votes cast
here than in any other county. Since
entering the Office he has shown his
appreciation of this vote by rendering
Randolph county citizens many favors.
During the recent controversy with
Gov. Baker of Missouri regarding eX-
tradition of prisoners, Gov. Terral bas-
ed his action on treatment Randolph
county officials and citizens had receiv-
ed at the hands of the Missouri COVER
nor He stated that he would not
honor a requisitiOn for VIM. Ruther-
ford, wanted in st. Louis, until Gov.
Baker had hOnored his requisitiOn for
Paul Dollinger, wanted in this county
to answer to a charge of fraud.
Governor Terral is hasing his cam
paign on the record he made during
his first term. Another matter which
eners freely into his campaign liter
ature is the fact that he is opposed
to the Williamson-Ra -Raney Road Bill,
which would take funds from 81 coun-
ties like Randolph and apply them on
the road debts of the fourteen heavily
bonded counties.
Arkansas will make no mistake in
returning Tom Terral to the governors
office. He has made some mistakes
during his first term, but can show
record that compares favOrably with
any of his predecessors.
The Star Herald is authorized to an
nounce Thomas j. Terral as a candi-
date for the Democratic nomination
for governor of Arkansas, subject to
the Democratic primary August 10.
