ANNUAL HOME PRODUCTS SHOW
Farm Bureau and Grange Join for
Staging Product Show in Dover

At a meeting of representatives of
the Kent County Farm Bureau and
the Capital Grange which was held at
the home Of Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. Willim
east of Dover on Friday evening of
last week preliminary plans were for
mulated for the staging of farm
and home products show in the Capt.
tai Grange Hall in Dover on Novem-
Der 8, under the auspices of these two
agricultural organizations which have
been cooperating in this particular
type of educational work in the coun-
ty for the past several years. This
meeting was called by President Ed.
Willim of the Kent County Farm Bu-
reau who had previously appointed
special committees from these two
organizations following the sugges-
tions of the members of the executive
committee at one of the recent meet
ings. In addition to Mr. Willim the
other members of this farm and home
products show committee from the
Kent County Farm Bureau were Mrs.
Harry 7. Smith, Mrs. David Metz and
John M. Roe. The committee repre-
senting Capital Grange was compos-
ed of Mrs. A. F. Dawes, Mrs. Francis
H. Raughley, S. J. Hall and B. B.
Chase. At the joint conference of
these two committees Mr.. Willim was
elected as chairman, and Mrs. Francis
HI. Raughley was elected to serve as
secretary. The principal business on
the program for the evening consisted
of the selection of a suitable date and
the appointment of the various sub
committees for this annual show. W..
v. Cosden, B. B. Chase and Mrs. David
Metz were appointed to serve on the
committee on arrangements; and S. J..
Han, Mrs. Presley F. Urian and Mrs.
Harry r. Smith were selected as the
members of the committee for the Sc
curing of premiums. The work of
decorating the Grange Hall has been
placed in charge of Mrs. R. Lawrence
Heyd, Mrs. A. F. Dawes and John M.
Roe; and the committee on the ar
rangement of exhibits is composed of
Mrs. Francis H. Raughley, Miss Helen
L. Comstock, County Club Agent, and
Miss Helen E. Shapley, secretary in
the county extension Office in Dover.
1t is the hope of the members of the
different committees that the farmers,
business men and merchants through
out the county will give this annual
show their heartiest support and CO.
operation as they have done in prey
ious years, for such an affair as this
not only makes it possible for the peo-
pie to display their best farm products
but it offers an excellent opportunity
for both the rural and urban folks to
become better acquainted with each
other.

PLANS TO RAISE 100000 TO

CAMPAIGN TO BE LAUNCHED IN
FIVE CENTRAL COUNTIES
Harvey ]. Hill Who Heads Campaign
Expenses the Object of the Move
ment.-Committees Forming


Salisbury, Nd, Oct. 25.-With work
ing committees being completed to
launch the campaign to refinance the
Del-Mar-Va Eastern Shore Associa-
ton in the five central counties where
the original referendum vote on con-
tinuance was taken, plans are also un-
der way to extend the referendum in
| to the northern tier Of Peninsula
counties and into the two Virginia
counties. In both of these sections
the referendum vote will be conducted
in a somewhat different manner than
| that which has been taken. The ref
erendum in the northern counties will
not concern itself with the matter of
continuation, that having been deter
mined, but will ask whether business
and agricultural leaders in the north
ern counties desire to join in with the
Association and participate in the
benefits of its program, or whether
they prefer going it alone. In the two
Virginia counties the referendum will
be taken in conjunction with the
Eastern Shore of Virginia Chamber
| of Commerce. This will be a joint
affair and concern itself mainly with
working program for the future.
Talking of the Campaign to raise the
100000 quota for a period of three
years, Harvey J. Hill, who will active
ly head the campaign, had the fol-
lowing to say: ''The success Of this
campaign depends entirely on the ac-
4 i of ~
large number have openly pledged
themselves and many others are on
record as expressing their willingness
to enter into the work wholehearted-
ly. Without these leaders giving
| their time and effort we could not
make progress, but with them living
up to their agreement to work and aid
in the campaign | feel that its sue
cess is assured
| While the working committees are
| being formed in the five central coun-
| ties and the campaign to raise their
| quota gotten underway, the referend-
um will be taken in the northern and
southern sections. This procedure,
according to association officials, will
greatly facilitate the carrying out of
| the campaign and give information
as to the desires of each section be-
fore final working budget is decid-
ed upon. The questions on the refer
endum ballot for the northern coun-
ties are being worked out by special
committee representing that section.
These sections will be asked specifi-
cally, among other things, whether
they desire to be included in Associa-
ton advertising, or desire to work in
cooperation with its Traffic and Mar
keting Bureaus. The Association pro
gram for the coming year is concern
ed with many agricultural problems
Of general interest and all sections
that SO desire will be included within
the general range of operations.

FEDERAL AID FOR GOOD ROADS
Anxiety Relieved by Word That Gov
ernment Aid Will Not be Withdrawn

Anxiety is relieved by word just re-
ceived from DR.. S. M. johnson, Chair
man of the Good Roads Board of the
American Motorists Association, that
Federal aid for highways will not be
withdrawn from the States of Ten
nessee, North Carolina, Louisiana and
Montana because of the failure of
these States to pay certain amounts
held by the Government to be due it
on account of certain "Indian Bonds"
Consequent upon the announcement
several weeks ago by the Comptroller
General that unless these claims were
settled, federal aid funds would be
withdrawn, the friends of Federal aid
for roads, led by the American Mo
torists Association, at once took up
the cudgel in behalf of the States af-
| fected. Announcement also was made
that Governors and state highway of
ficers of these States would visit
Washington for the purpose of seek
ing to bring about a reconsideration
of the order.
DR.. S. NJ. johnson, Chairman of the
National Good Roads Board of the A.
NJ A., raised the question in behalf of
these States, that Federal aid for
roads, while Immediately affecting the
States in which roads were built as a
result of matching state money with
that appropriated by Congress, that
in fact these roads were of national
Importance and benefit, and that the
nation would suffer from cessation of
work upon them, as well as the indi-
vidual states.
