SWEET POTATO PRICES GOOD
Supply and Demand Law Should OPP
crate on Farm of Growers

If this seasons sweet potato mar
ket responds to the usual operation
Of the law of supply and demand, this
crop should bring good prices this
year, according to a statement issued
by DR.. Frank Bomberger, Director Of
Markets of the Del-Mar-Va Eastern
Shore Association.
According TO shipment informa-
tion issued by the U. S. Bureau of
Agricultural Economics under date of
August H." said DR.. Bomberger, "the
average condition Of the sweet potato
crop for August 1, on the Del-Mar-Va
Peninsula is 1916 per cent, as against
a ten year average condition on the
same date of 85 per cent. Based on
the calculations of the Federal Bu-
reau, the condition noted would indi-
cate a production of 7,585,0OO bushels
as against S,441,0 900 bushels last year
or a five year average of 7,524,000
bushels.
'fFor Delaware a production Of $50,
900 bushels is indicated; for Mary
land 1,479,000 bushels; and for Vir-
ginia 5,176,000 bushels. These fig
ures indicate that Delaware's produc-
ton will be only 74.3 per cent, of that
of last year, while Maryland's crop
will be 81 per cent, and Virginia's SO
per cent, of last year.
@It is true that the indications of
August 1, are not always accurately
developed in the crop as harvested,
but the best evidence we have at the
present time seems to indicate that
the sweet potato crop on the PENN
sula will be nearly 20 per cent less
in volume than last years and just
about equal to the average production
for the years 1922-1926.
"When it is remembered that ap-
proximately fifty per cent of the COM
mercial sweet potato crop Of the coun-
try originates in this Peninsula, it is
evident that a twenty per cent cur
tailment in production should react in
favor Of distinctly better prices than
were last years.
''If the Quotation Committee of the
Eastern Shore Farmers Association
will exercise the same judicious con-
troll over the marketing of the sweets
as was effected in connection with the
white potato market, the hope that is
at present held out to the sweet pop
tato growers should be realized"

she wrote her father asking him to
take her to live with him. He i'm
mediately arranged to furlough and
came about week ago to Milford,
taking his daughter back with him on
Monday. They are making the trip
by motor and expected to reach Den
yer on Sunday, last. Mr.. and Mrs. C.
w. Stevenson, brother and sister
in-law who lives on West Front street
North Milford, are planning to join
them the first of September, in the
hope that the Colorado climate will be
beneficial to the asthma with which
Mrs. Stevenson suffers, and if so, they
too will make their home permanently
in Denver. Sergeant Stevenson has
had very eventful life since his sep
aration from his daughter, seeing
some very active service, especially
during the Mexican trouble on the
border. He has been for 21 years in
the army and is now in the recruiting
service, being stationed at Fort Lo-

Del-Mar-Va Real Estate Board

Adopting a Constitution and By
Laws along lines advocated by the
National Real Estate Board, and there
by making possible afiiation with that
organization, the Del-Mar-Va Eastern
Shore Real Estate Board was official
ly organized at a recent meeting at
the Atlantic Hotel, Ocean City, Md.
Among the numerous advantages
which the Peninsula Board would en-
joy as members of the National As
sociation is the right granted to use
the word "Realtor", which is rigidly
protected and implies that the user
thereof is operating in accordance
with the ethics and rules and regula-
tions of the National Board. The To-
cal Board carries as one of its stipu-
lations the requirement that each
member agrees to accept and abide
by the ethics of the National Asso-
citation. Practically the entire mem
bership of the Del-Mar-Va Board have
gone on record as expressing a desire
to become united with the National
group.
Organization of the Del-Mar-Va
Board was effected at the instigation
and under the auspices Of the Del
Mar-Va Eastern Shore Association
which has advocated such movement
for nearly year, because of certain
unethical practices discovered by the
Association affecting numerous per-
sons from other sections, who had
come to Del-Mar-Va seeking new To-
cations as a result of the Associations
advertising and publicity.
The object of the new board, ac-
cording to its Constitution and By
Laws, is to establish and standardize
the business of Real Estate Broker
age so that it will obtain and retain
the confidence and respect of both
property owners and purchasers. The
board plans to institute rules for uni
form commissions, customs and prac-
tices insofar as they may be reason
able; to provide an organized center
of effort and adequate and economic
civic development; to bring into effect
such laws and administration as shall
protect the citizen, encourage indus
try and attract desirable population.
Further objects of the Board are to
especially guide and advance the in
terest of real estate owners and lease
holds, and to devise, advocate and sup
port legislation calculated to improve
the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula.
Five forms in the membership of
the board are provided; they include
active, nonresident, associate, affiliat-
ed, and honorary. This, accordingly
permits all who are interested in the
real estate business and who are will
ing to abide by the Constitution and
Bylaws to become members.
Both the Baltimore and Whining
ton Real Estate Boards have given
their active guidance and support to
the development of the Del-Mar-Va
as many of the Peninsula
Real Estate men are members of those
two organizations.
Announcement was made yesterday
that officers of the new board will be
elected at the first annual meeting to
he held in October.

motorists get their licenses from an
other State and Delaware authorities
would have no right to stop them and
make them take an examination.
While there are some reckless drivers
in Delaware, yet the vast majority of
the trucks travelling through this
State, records of the Highway De-
partment show, are from other States.
Smyrna times., 1927-08-24
WARNING SERVED BY STATE ON
ALL RECKLESS AUTO DRIVERS
DRUNKEN OR RECKLESS ONES
TO BE CAUGHT AND PUNISHED
New System for Detecting Them to
Be Placed in Effect at Once by
the State Highway Department


supported with 100 per cent. cooper
alton from the state administration is
being directed to try and check the
alarming increase in the number of
drunken and reckless drivers. Chief
Engineer c. d. Buck, of the State
Highway Department who is also
head of the state police and Secretary
of State Charles H. Grantland, are CO.
operating as are all other state de-
partments in this movement to try
and curb this class Of motorist in or
der that the safe and sane autoists of
this and other states using Delaware
highways may drive without danger
of being injured or killed. In the
opinion of Engineer Buck, drunken
driver is nothing more or less than
potential murderer. The month Of
July saw the largest number of ar
rests of drunken and reckless drivers
in any one month since the state high
way police was organized. Not con-
tent with having their licenses revok-
ed for a year, and escaping with a
light fine, instead of a Jail sentence
these drunken drivers are driving
anyway, although they have no right
to use the highways.
Recently three were arrested in the
lower part of the State whose licenses
had been revoked, but who paid no
attention to the fact that under the
law they were committing crime in
driving. In some instances it is said
their attorneys filed a motion for an
appeal and then told them to go
ahead and drive. In such instances
as these, Mr.. Buck believes they
should be put in jail if they drive
without a license after having been
convicted of driving while drunk. He
realizes that this class Of motorist
doesn't care bit about a fine and
that a Jail sentence is something they
all dread. "People would be surpris-
ed to learn the amount Of pressure
and inference brought to bear on the
department when a man is arrested
for driving while drunk and his lic-
ense revoked" said Mr.. Buck, II sup
pose if the law was made mandatory
imposing a Jail sentence that about all
we would have in the Jail serving this
sentence for driving while drunk
would be only those who haven't the
pressure or influence to win them
freedom"
Eight Cases Pending in Sussex County
Down in Sussex county at this
time there are eight cases pending an
appeal. One man who was fined 5000
and sentenced to three months in the
Sussex county jail, gave notice Of an
appeal of his case and is now at lib
erty. This incident happened year
ago and the fine has never been paid
or the sentence served and the mag
istrate has done nothing about it. The
time limit fixed for transfer Of the
docket from the Justice of the Peace
to the Clerk Of the Court is Is. days.
As this mans appeal was not taken
within this time, he is now liable to
be arrested and sent to jail in addi-
tion to paying his fine.
The warning given that those who
Smyrna times., 1927-08-24

have made appeals would have to
stand trial has led to several of them
endeavoring to have the docket taken
from the justice Of the peace and
placed in the Courts. Through at
torneys these motorists hope to have
some flaw found in the proceedings
before the Justice of the Peace so
that their counsel may seek to have
the case thrown out of court by the
Deputy Attorney General of Sussex
county.
According to Secretary Of State
Grantland these men will be arrested
just as often as they are detected
driving on the road
Mr.. Buck is having report assem-
bled showing the number of accidents
that have been due to reckless driv
ing on the part of commercial trucks.
He believes that this will show that
majority of accidents are chargable
to the commercial truck drivers. AS
these truck drivers represent only a
very small part of the motorists who
use the roads the unfairness Of their
wilful breaking of the law is empha-
sized.
New System to Be Put in Effect
Mr.. Buck has in mind and announc-
ed that within few days he would
put into effect new arrangement by
means of which he hopes to catch
some of these reckless truck drivers.
Ever since the department was organ
lied Mr.. Buck has been opposed to
gum shoe methods or anything that
appeared to be in the shape of trap.
But he realized that if he is going to
catch the reckless driver he must re-
sort to measures that will be success
full.
In this connection he proposes to
have state police in civilian clothes
drive in automobiles on the state
highway. The state police car won't
be fancy lettered machine that the
reckless truck driver could easily dis
cern, but will be an ordinary and ap-
parently second hand machine such as
some of the Sunday drivers travel
about in. A state policeman in uni
form and on a motorcycle can be
readily detected half-mile or farth-
er away so that the reckless truck
driver can change his speed to suit
the occasion. But, if the policeman is
in an ordinary automobile in citizens
clothes there will be nothing to indi-
cate that he is an officer of the law.
In commenting on this Secretary of
State Grantland said:
t'I'm sertainly glad that Mr. Buck
is going to do this. Now / believe
we're going to get somewhere. With
the hearty cooperation of the state
police and all other departments con-
nected with highway operations | feel
more optimistic about breaking up
the reckless and drunken driver"
In speaking of the reckless driving,
Mr.. Buck referred to the fact that a
majority Of the cars on the highway
on Sunday are driven by Pennsyl-
vanians. He didn't say SO, but rec
ords show that the Pennsylvania mo-
torist is the most reckless driver on
Delaware highways. In New York
State they are used to passing on the
right and this is frequently seen on
the part of New York drivers in Del
aware. But the Pennsylvania driver
does anything and everything, goes
fast or slow as he chooses, drives to
the right or the left as he wills and
cuts in and out as he pleases.
In this connection Mr.. Buck pointed
out that while he was heartily in
favor Of an examination for all mo-
torists, yet how was anyone to meet
this Pennsylvania situation? These

SPENCER-KILBY WE'D
DING TUESDAY MITE

One of the prettiest weddings to
occur in Cody IN many a day was

chita. Kansas. Rev. e. L.. Ander-
son, a former pastor of the local
church, and the local pastor, Rev.
C. E. Pitts, officiated at the cere-
mony.
The church was most beautifully
decorated by Mr.. and Mrs. H. A.
Phillips and was most beautiful. A
slight change was necessary in the
ceremony, inasmuch as Rev. CAM
field. a close friend of the young
couple, failed to arrive in time to
perform the ceremony, and with
the unexpected arrival of Rev. And
erson. he and the local pastor were
asked to act.
DIR. Garfield arrived this morn
ing. on his belated journey. and
the newlyweds, who had already
started on their honeymoon, and
were at the home Of the brides
brother. at the wapiti ranger sta
ton. made a return trip to Cody,
and went through the impressive
ring ceremony as had been at firsi
planned.
MI. Kilby is an accomplished bari
tone %soloist. and has a studio al
Wichita. He has studied under
many of the best masters in Am
erica and Europe. and has a prom

LLOYD EVANS MAKES
EAGLE ON CODY GOLF
COURSE HOLE 5 In 3

Lloyd Evans proved himself as
the golfer most extraordinary on
Monday at the Cody Golf club
course, by making an eagle on
Hole No. 5. Five strokes is par
on this hole which is 491 yards,
with most unusual hazards, and
Mr. Evans Swung his driver for
two full strokes, landing close up
on the green for an easy. put shot.
Number 5 hole has a deep draw
at 225 yards and it takes a real
drive to get across safely. Once
across the draw there are two little
rises neither of which the player
can see over, and it takes a splend-
idly placed shot to arrive at the
green.
Mr. Evans distinguished himself
in the Spring tournament by TAX
ing an easy lead over all opponents,
and his tally of three on No. 5
Hole is n that will probably not
be ~equalled soon.
