makes it possible for the people to
DISPLAY their best farm products,

folks to become better acquainted
with each other. The complete pre-

their choice farm products prepar-
atory to exhibiting them at this

CONDITIONS ARE BAD

conditions at Kent county Jail which
we found most miserable and highly
conductive to the breeding of dis
ease as we'll as injury to the health
of the inmates, we would strongly
recommend that the Kent county
Levy Court the custodian of the Jail
since the abolishment of the Jail
commissioners, put the building in
a sanitary condition and make fire.
quent visit to the Jail to ascertain
first hand, the conditions as to san
itation and other necessities, and to
compel the keeper of the jail to ad-
here to a more rigid cleaning up of
the cells and corridors of the Jail to
insure better health conditions.
eve would also recommend that
the practice of allowing the keys of
the jail to be kept in other places
than the Jail, to be called for by. Of
ficers when the sheriff or his assis-
tants are both away from the jail,
be stopped as such practice might
some day lead to general Jail de-

"TWO.THIRDS" CHIEF TOPIC

The Democrats can plan and talk
all they please about the abolition
of the two-third rule as requisite
for presidential nominations, but the
old rule will control the 1928 DEM
ocratic convention. Ordinarily, the
Democrats have been very chary
about airing their views on this
subject in public.
But this year apparently they
have decided that it is a vastly
safer topic than the personality OF
their possible candidates. Their
theory in this instance no doubt IS
that if Democratic tongues can be
kept wagging over the rule, that
they will not have any time for
acrimonious discussion over the
weakness of the various candidates.

scores of anthems, cantatas and
other musical works, both sacred
