STATE CORN SHOW AT
DOVER In JANUARY
TWenty-SecOnd Annual Event VIII
Be Held January 2, 3 And4

Plans are being completed fol
the twenty-secOnd annual state corn
show which will be. held in the
Capital Grange H n Dover on
January 2, and {, under the aus
pices of the 1elaware State Corn
Growers Association in cooperation
with the Kent County Farm Bureau.
the Grange, and the Agricultural
Extension Service of the University
OF Delaware.
Within a few days the premium
list will be available for dfstribu-
ton to those farmers who are plan
ming to exhibit their corn, small
grains and hay crops, and any one
who is interested may also secure a
premium list from Secretary George
L. Schuster, Newark, or from each
OF the county extension offices in
the state.
Although this past year has been
very unfavOrable for the growing of
a good crop of corn, every effort is
being put forth by those in charge
of the State show to encourage
farmers to select their best ears of
corn and exhibit them in order that
this show may be a success. The
Delaware State Corn Growers As
sOciatiOn is an organization which
deserves the support of every grain
SrOwer, and the annual corn show
is equally worthy of this support |
since it was formed for the sole |
benefit of encouraging the produc-
tiOn of a better grade Of corn and |
other grains in the state and thru
out this section of the country.
A committee consisting of John
NJ. Roe, vice-president for Kent
county, R. Harry Wilson. Denny
Pleasanton, Ed Willim and B. r.
Chase, has been appointed to make
all local arrangements and to work
in cooperation with County Agent
Russell E. Wilson in preparing for
his exhibit

There's not day that comes in life of man,
In which the world appears so sound in mind
As Christmas time, when he can better plan
The many ways of being just and kind;
time when labor's cares are left behind
And dreams of better things come into view.
When his higher nature seems to find.
Bringing hope, happiness and faith anew
Oh, such day. and in mans life how few!

New Traffic Lights
At Two Corners
On 18th Street

Automatic traffic lights were
turned on this morning at two more
tntersections-on Thirteenth street
at Park road and at Monroe street.
The lights installed recently at
number Of important corners in var
ious parts of the city differ slight
ly In operation from those installed
originally. in that the cautious
light burns simultaneously with the
red and green before the change oc-
ours. Traffic officials emphasize,
however, that the rules are the same
at ~all automatically controlled
points.
Traffic Director Harland sees
distinct advantage in. having the
caution light burn with the red and
the green before the change occurs.
He pointed out that when the eau
ton light burns separately a motor
list approaching the intersection
at that moment is not always sure
whether the next light is to be red
or green. In the new installations
the caution comes on while the
other light Is still burning and is
notice to the traffic that in a few
seco Ids the direction of trafic fiow
will change.

BATHING POOL

! The new bathing pool on the
grounds OF the Mckinley Technical
High School probably will be built
within the next year. despite all the
legal obstacles that have delayed
the work.
This was assured today when the
House and Senate conferees on the
Independent offices bin agreed upon
report with the bathing pool item
restored to it. after the Senate Ap-
preparations Committee had stricken
Il out because of protests.
Contracts for construction of the
pool were let last summer, but were
made invalid when Comptroller Cen
erel McCarl ruled that there was
no authority in law for the use of
the high school grounds for bathing
pool construction. The House passed
an amendment to the independent
offices bill authorizing the con-
struction, but the Senate eliminated
the item several weeks ago. The
action OF the conferees, however,
favors the stand taken by the
House.
The contract LET last summer pro-
vided for construction of pool to
cost approximately $100,000 AS
soon as the independent offices bill
becomes law, it is anticipated that
Col. u. S. Grant, III, superintend.
ent of public buildings and parks,
will take steps to start the con-
struction work in the early spring.
