She purposely avoided shaking
hands with Peter before the oar
started. The last glimpse they had
OF her as they drove away was her
slim figure at the gate, with the
three boys clamoring round her.
The day after Arnott and his sister
called at Leavenden. Nan met Har.

He wore the riding breeches and
CATERS which he affected when he
was down in the country. and he
carried his usual crop.
He liked to play the part Of coun.

The marines at Quantico, Va,
will fight mosquitoes this Sum-
mer with flying machines.
Commander Mclean will scat
ter from planes sawdust soaked
in water containing little arsenic.
1t isn't strong enough to hurt
humans, birds, fishes-in fact, it's
good tonic for them.
But 1t will destroy mosquitoes
In swamps, creeks or stagnant
water Instantly, just as a slap that
does not hurt your cheek kills the
mosquito.
The Government ought to be
doing that work everywhere.
To rid the entire country of
mosquitoes would be worth fifty
times the national debt.
Ii is said that the Rockefeller
Foundation, which seeks to PRE-
VENT DISEASE, rather than to
cure individuals, may try the fly
ing machine mosquito attack. If
successful, 1t would end yellow
fever and malaria FOREVER.
While others talk the practical
Japanese go straight ahead. Re-
Gently they completed a gigantic,
long distance bombing aifplane, so
big it took seven railroad cars to
carry it.
Yesterday Japan added to her
powerful feet huge submarine
Of 1000 tons, with all the latest
devices, including heavy guns,

ocean, able to carry and release

While the United States solemn

citizens to select their own beve-

more important.

If public sales of farm equip
ment and discontinuance of
farming by farmers in lower
Delaware is a criterion by which
to gauge the prosperity of farm
ers generally, then the lesser
number of such sales which
have been held this fall in Kent
and Sussex counties, clearly in
dicates, that those who carry on
the farms are not in the serious
financial straits, which the poll
ticians announce, and the lack
adaisical tiller Of the soil pro-
claims every once and so often.
There are causes where farming
has not been a success; but the
individual is generally at the
bottom Of his own trouble. The
first calamity howl this year
was over the failure of the pea
crop; but some growers failed to
do as others did, plant the same
land to lima beans, and get a
greater money return from this
than they would have gotten
from successful crop of peas.
The same applies in general
way. When a farmer found one
crop going bad, another crop in
most instances was made use of
to replace the effort. Just the
same, the banks have large de-
posit accounts in all parts Of
Delaware, and such accounts are
very largely owned by farmers,
who work with their heads, as
well as their Milford
Chronicle.

the primaries there was never
more corruption abroad in the
land than at present when the
primary system is pretty gener-
al. Surely conditions were no
worse in the day when there
was an attempt at party regu-
larity maintained by the conven-
ton system. In a great many
instances conditions may have
been better. At least there was
less personal villification and
more attention paid to princi-
pies in politics. Wilmington
