GOVERNOR PROCLATMS
FIRE PREVENTION WEEK
Urges Residents OF State To Exer-
else Caution To Prevent Outbreaks

Governor Robinson has made the
following proclamation relative to
Fire Prevention Week:
Whereas, Every year the nations
burden of property loss by fire con-
tinues to increase and, in the past
year is involved day by day des-
truction of values, aggregating
$560,548,624, a new high record; in
addition to this enormous waste of
material wealth, thousands of lives
were lost and thousands of persons
were injured by burning, and,
Whereas, Since a proportionate
share of this tremendous toll is
borne by our own state, and since
the greater part of all fire loss is
avoidable, if reasonable care be ex-
ercised.
Now, therefore, I, Robert P. Rob-
inson, Governor of the State of Della
ware, by authority in me invested,
do designate and proclaim the per-
iod from October to Is, 1927 as
Fire Prevention Week, and urge that
each and every one of our citizens
would take an earnest, active inter-
est in the occasion. Chambers of
Commerce and other civic organiza-
tions, as well as business associa-
tions, school authorities, women's
clubs and all other bodies interested
in public welfare should assist in
furthering this important observ-
ance with even greater energy than
heretofore.
1 hope that the newspapers and
the churches will join hands in inn
pressing on the residents of our
state. the serious economic and hui
name aspects of the situation Great
ed by our unprecedented burning
rate. We must fight the mounting
tide of fire destruction as we would

DRINKING WATER in

Health Officials Trying To Eliminate
Sources That May Cause Disease

Quite few instances Of impure
water from the outlying districts of
Dover and other parts of rural Kent
county, have been located and every
effort will be made by the State
Board of Health to check them by
recommending that such wells be
cleaned out or some other method of
securing water, suggested.
While many of the farms in lower
Delaware have driven wells there
are also several farms, where the

DID YOU RECEIVE YOURS?
YOU ARE NOT COMPELLED
TO RETURN IL

Having been annoyed by re-
ceiving unordered hosiery and
later perfumery, residents of
Delaware are now receiving
supplies of unordered Christ
mas cards. In some sections
the letter carriers are loaded
down with these sample boxes
of cards. They come from a
concern in Boston and also in
Baltimore. The Boston concern
enclosed postage for return if
not desired, but the other ap-
parently does not, at least no
one has been heard of who re-
ceived such postage.
A number of people who
looked at the packages and de-
cided what they were without
opening, refused to accept
them and the letter carriers
had to take them back to the
postofice. Others received
them and now have them on
their hands.
Sometime ago the Advertis-
ing Club of Wilmington infor-
med people in that city that
under a decision of the post
office department, a person is
not compelled to return unor-
dered goods. All that is neces-
sary is to keep them with rea-
sonable care until some duly
authorized representative Of
the concern calls for them, es-
tablishes his identity, and gets
the goods. 1t is held that if
this plan is followed the nui-
sance will cease because the
plan will prove too expensive
for those who are doing busi-
ness in that way.

YOUNG HOG RAISER
GROWS FINE ANIMALS
W. R. Hill, Son Of Federal Dry
Director, Has About 400 DurOc
Jerseys.

This is the story of boy who
went to an exposition, saw hogs and
determined to raise them and win a
name for himself in the eastern
states of this country. He is William
R. Hill, 23-year-old son of George A.
Hill, Federal prohibition director in
Delaware. His home is in Bridge
vile. To date he has about 400 big
type Duroc Jersey hogs in his herd,
and is gradually gaining the reputa-
ton of having the best herd in this
part of the country.
When young Hill takes his hogs to
exhibitions, he is recognized and re-
membered. He is inevitably dressed
as a western "cowman" Large 10
gallon hat, checkered shirt, and
boots, but instead of a horse his
steed is a high powered motorcycle.
When Hill was in the Bridgeville
High School, he became interested
in hog judging. He was on the
Delaware state team that went to
the Eastern States Exposition in
Springfield, Mass, and there, in
competition with representatives of
13 other states, he made the highest
score in hog judging.
While at the exposition, Hill saw
some big type Duroc hogs, and when
he came home he had the deter
mination to raise that type hogs. He
did, and within four years, he has
raised a 4O0-head herd and has
earned large sums of money by ex-
bibiting them.
Last Saturday he went to Dan
bury, Conn, with about % head of
hogs. His hogs are now being eX-
hibited at Trenton in competition
with hogs from the large western
ranches. Several of his hogs weigh
1000 pounds.
One hog, Eureka, a junior yearl-
ing Duroc Jersey, never has been
defeated and has won the blue rib
bon in IA states.

Persistent coughs and colds lead to
serious trouble. You can stop them
now with Creomulsion, an emulsifed
creosote that is pleasant to take. Creo-
mulsion is a new medical discovery with
two-fold action; it soothes and heals
the infiammed membranes and inhibits
germ growth.
OF all known drugs, creosote is rec
ognized by high medical authorities as
one Of the greatest healing agencies for
persistent coughs and colds and other
forms Of throat troubles. Creomulsion
contains, in addition to creosote, other
healing elements which soothe and heal
the infected membranes and stop. the

creosote goes on to the stomach, is alb

nv JEROME DAVIS

MOSCOW, Oct. 24.-The Russian
government claims it has kept us
official hands off the revolution IN
China.
This is not true of the Communist
Tnternationale. It has been working
steadily in the Kaleidoscope events
within China. The Internatlonale
thinks it has done what it could TO
help the masses of the Chinese peo-
pie, with advice, with en1lssarles'
and probably with money.
Lenin Policy Prevails
Stain. the real leader of the Com
nnunist party, in a very frank state
ment makes clear the lines and poll
cies which the Communist 1nterna-
+ionale has tried to follow in China.
These are based on three principles
of Lenin.
+ It is necessary to base action
in any country according to the ma
tionai characteristics and national
ueculiarities of that particular ma
ton.
2. It Is necessary to bring about
a union or alliance between the va
rious groups who comprise the pro-
letarian masses.
q tt is necessary to teach truth
not merely by propaganda and agi-
tation, but by giving the masses
themselves political experience.
Radicals Favor Exploitation
Within the Communist party the
leaders of the opposition-Trotsky,
Zinovieff, Kamenev-desire radical
program in China of bringing up IN
dependent soviets which would re-
fuse to work within the peoples rev.
dictionary party. Stain accuses
them of wanting to run the Chinese
revolution by telegraph.
Stain thus frankly admits the &C
tivity of the Communist Interna-
tionale in China. In spite of this
participatoin, the Russians maintain
that they have not interviewed IN
China to the extent that Europe has
and is doing.
For the allied nations first of all
have spent hundreds of thousands
of dollars on missionary work. Fol-
lowing closely in the wake of re-
ligious workers came foreign traders
who have not hesitated to make as
much money as possible out Of the
Chinese. The Bolsheviks call this
exploitation" Russia points to the
fact that foreign nations now have
173 warships in Chinese waters
whereas Russia has none.
Bolsheviks Enter
IN contrast to allied policy, the
Bolsheviks have sent missionaries of
the Communist International
armed not with guns, but with ideas.
These taken together do not repre-
sent one-nundredth of the person
mel Of the foreign missionary forces.
The Bolshevik emissaries have been
trying to organize the peasant and
working masses to help themselves.
The BolSheviks have sent no traders
to exploit the Chinese, no guns to
kill them, and have abrogated all
unjust treaties.
Americans may not agree with the
Bolshevik position in regard to the
work of Communist Internationale
in China, but at least we should IN
derstand the Russian point of view.
This have tried faithfully to re-
produce
