INDUSTRY SCATTERS

Instead of further concentrating in the larger cities, the present tendency of industrial plants is toward the smaller towns according to recent magazine writer, who considers this of the most farreaching move ments of recent years.
 Some of the reasons for this decentralization of in dstry are given, among them belng the ongmg or 1ac turies closer to the material and the ultimate con- sumer thus reducing transportation charges the exten ton of cheap electric service to the smaller cities and towns lower living costs and better surroundings for e- ployees, and in many more intelligent and more dependable labor supply
 Summing up the results which this movement will bring about, the writer says that from may pect to marked movement toward these smaller cit es and towns instead of having vast populations sary for large production herded together in few big cities
 This trend of industry affords the small town it's op- pornity to share in the benefits of industrial payros Besides the industrial workers create better market for farm produce This industry and agriculture may go hand in hand in the upbuiding of those communities which take advantage of their opportunities in this drec tion.

Good Things About the Delaware

The resultfulness of the Del-Mar-Va
Eastern Shore Association advertising
and publicity has been definitely dem
onstrated on numerous occasions and
while there are on record actually
hundreds of property transfers which
are directly traceable to the associa-
tion's endeavors, a letter received at
their headquarters in Salisbury yes
terday is outstanding evidence Of how
effective and far-reaching even the
early endeavors of the association
have been. This letter, from Alfred
P. Jaques, Of Davidsville, Pa, empha-
sizes that he has personally become
thoroughly and sincerely interested in
the Peninsula through the efforts of
the association and the subsequent
material furnished him by various
chambers of commerce and real es-
tate men. He announces his intention
Of visiting the Peninsula early this
coming fall for the purpose of purch-
asing farm home and requests that
the association follow the same pro-
cedure, extending the same courtesies
to his brother. A copy Of his letter
follows: "About two years ago, thru
your courtesy, l received from the
various chambers of commerce in your

vertising. The courtesy and fairness

APPREHEND CULPRIT By RUsE
Isaac Best, Negro, Who Shot at Sus-
sex Men, Caught Near Bridgeville

Isaac Best, the colored man who
Friday morning fired three shots at
William Stewart and ]. A. Pearson,
foreman at the H. P. Cannon cannery
because they told him to either get to
work or leave the property was cap
tured on a farm a short distance be-
low BridgevilIe, late Friday afternoon
The arrest was made BY State High
way Officer Holt and he was taken to
Georgetown Jail A pose Of more than
a hundred men had searched for the
negro most Of the day in woods.
Although none of the shots hit Stew
art or Pearson the brutal attack by
the negro who only recently came to
that section from Norfolk incensed
residents Of the town. When the man
escaped following the shooting the
town fire alarm was sounded and this
brought out the men who formed the
pose for the search. It was through
the cleverness of an Italian farm hand
that Best was caught. The Italian
found Best on the farm where he
worked and suspecting the negro was
the man who escaped from Bridgeville
in the morning he told the negro a
story of intending to steal the farm
er's automobile and go away with it.
The negro decided to hide in the
woods until the automobile was OBJ
tanned. In the meantime the Italian,
leaving apparently to get the automo-
bile, telephoned the highway police
and advised that the man sent. there
come disguised. Officer Holt disguis-
ed himself as a farm hand and went
to the farm where the Italian prompt
ly turned the negro over to him and
he was taken to iail.

SMYRNA ROTARY CLUB MEETING
President w. E. Matthews, Jr., Gives
Fine Impression of Rotary Interna-
tiOnal Meet at Minneapolis, MINI.

tiOnal Meet at Minneapolis, MINI.
On Thursday evening last, July u,
Smyrna Rotary Club held their week
ly meeting at the Wayside Inn. The
program of the evening consisted of
a speech made by w. E. Matthews, ,Jr.,
the newly installed President of the
Smyrna Club. As a part of his speech
President "Bill' Matthews gave his re-
port on the international Rotary Con-
vention held at Minneapolis, Mimi,
where he had recently spent week
in the capacity of the President-elect
of the Smyrna Club, gathering togeth-
er information and ideas that would
be of great use to him in shaping the
destiny of the local club throughout
his administration. Rotary Interna-
tional Convention brought together
10000 delegates and 1000 visitors
from A countries of the world. Many
of the visitors consisted of wives and
families of the delegates who attend
ed. The message" President "Bill'
Matthews brought back to his fellow
members was '"The great responsible
ity of the individual Rotarian to his
own particular club, and to the lofty
ideals of Rotary International as a
whole" President "Bill' Matthews
also stressed strongly how necessary
it was for a club to keep up their at
tendance record. This, at the moment,
however, could be taken lightly by the
local club as far as they were con-
cerned because of the fact that July
18th marked their 23rd 100 per cent
meeting and still going strong to set
a record that will be hard for other
clubs in the 50th Rotary District to
better. Many folk look upon Rotary
Club as a gathering of men who meet
weekly and enjoy together well pre-
pared meal but those in Rotary know
that the meal is only incidental to a
definite aim. Perhaps the greatest
ideal of a Rotarian is to do his little
bit" towards permanently securing
universal peace. This is the master
aim Of Rotary International. But
aside from this, the qualifications Of a
Rotarian are many, for to be a true
Rotarian one must possess ambition,
courage, intelligence, culture, leader
ship, sportsmanship, love of his God
and Religious tolerance and it is tht
duty Of each and everyone enjoying
his membership in Rotary Intena-
tional to act as his own judge to de-
termine if he is falling below the
standard Rotary has set for him. The
program for the next meeting Of the
Smyrna Rotary Club will be an ad-
dress given by DIR. NJ A. Tarumianz,
superintendent of the Delaware State
Hospital, Farnhurst, Del Visiting

LEGION ADOPTS NEW BYLAWS
Smyrna Post Gives Promise of Func-
tioning Better Under New Rules

Smyrna Post Gives Promise of Func-
tioning Better Under New Rules
On Wednesday evening, July 18th,
the David C. Harrison Post, No. IA,
American Legion, Smyrna, held their
regular weekly melting with a large
attendance. The particular business
of the evening was the reading of a
new set of bylaws for the Post as
prepared by the Bylaw Committee" !"
The bylaws were passed with but few
alterations as originally prepared
which, it itself, speaks very highly of
the thoroughness in which the COM
mittee performed their work. There is
very little doubt in the minds of the
David g. Harrison Post members that,
functioning under the new bylaws as
adopted, the Post will prosper with
greater ease and to more effect than
heretofore The Post is to be compli-
mented for the individual progressive
ness of their members and although
our state possesses larger Posts than
the David C. Harrison Post, No. IA, it
is a question if they possess better.
At this time it would be only fair to
say that the Town Council of Smyrna
and the generous assistance of the
community at large, have all played
their equal parts in the success of the
local post. For this whole-hearted
support, the David C. Harrison Post
wishes to extend to those who have
used their efforts in their behalf, the
most sincere thanks and appreciation
of the Post.

LIVE WIRE FATAL AT CAMDEN
Otis Long, Frankford, Killed Instant
ly; Lester Hudson Severely Shocked

Mistaking an electric wire for a
lightning bug cost Otis Long, II years
old, Of FranBford, his life, and result
ed in a severe shock to Lester Hudson,
also from ,Frankford, who rushed to
the unfortunate young mans a.d at
Camden, Friday evening. The electric
wire, part of the system which furn-
ishes Camden with electric current for
lighting and power, had broken and
fallen to the ground. The two young
men were sitting on the porch of their
boarding house, when Long noticed
what he presumed to be an unusually
large lightning bug on the ground a
short distance away. He walked over
to the object, stopped over to pick it
up, and became entangled in the wire.
1t is believed that he was killed in
stantly. Hudson rushed to his side
and caught him, but he, 100, received
a shock. A third party, with rubber
boots and gloves, managed to pull
Hudson away from Long. His name
was not learned Long was rushed to
the Kent General Hospital, but was
pronounced dead upon his arrival.
Hudson was sent to his home in
Frankford. Both boys had just come
to Camden during the summer to
work for the C. L. Terry Packing
Company Hudson and Long had
packed Strawberries for Terry and
Son at Selbyville during the spring
and asked that they might help pack
apples this summer. Long was the
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Harley Long, Of
Frankford.

r. r. VALE FOR u. S. SENATOR
Seems to Be Favorite Of Republican
Party Leaders: Prominent Attorney

Ruby r. Vale, attorney, Of Milford,
IL being prominently mentioned in
political circles az the probable selec-
tion Of Republican party leaders to BE-
their candidate for United States sen
ator The announcement BY former
Governor John O. Townsend, Jr., that
he will not be a candidate for the Re
publican nomination Of United States
senator, caused ~ little Stir among
politicians. Former Governor Town
send had been looked upon as the
choice of the Republican organization,
headed BY United States Senator Cole
man dupont, for the senatorial nomi-
nation His decision not to run, how
ever, will result i'll the seeking Of a
new candidate. 1t IL understood that
while the Republican leaders have not
definitely decided as yet, on anyone in
particular for the nomination, they
Will probably be in a position to name
their choice later in the week. Many
names are being mentioned for the
nomination, but it was indicated that
Mr. Vale meets with the favor of the
leaders, and that Ne will likely be the
choice With the nomination of Unit
ed States Senator Thomas F. Bayard,
for another term on the Democratic
ticket, practically assured, the Repub-
licans are seeking as strong a candi-
date as they can put on their ticket,
to oppose him. Others who are being
mentioned for the senatorial nomina-
ton are Irenee dupont, Judge Deniel
q. Hastings, r. r. NJ. Carpenter,
former United States Senator L.Heis-
Ter Ball and former Congressman Viii
liam H. Heald. The namination of
Mr.. Vale will not relieve the trying
situation in Sussex county, where
there are also candidates in the field
for the nomination Of Congressman
and Governor. Congressman Robert
G. Houston, of Georgetown, is seeking
the nomination for another term while
former State Senator |. Dolphus Short
would like the gubematorial nomina-
tion. 1t is said that Senator Short,
who meets with the favor Of the fore
es Of Alfred /. DUPONT, will not be ac-
cepted by the Republican organization
as candidate. AS a result, Congress
man Houston will probably be renom-
mated, while G. Douglas Buck, state
highway engineer, may be the nomi-
nee for governor, according to reports.
Among others who have been men
toned for the gubernatorial nomina-
tion are DR.. Frank L. Grier, of Mil
ford; William ]. Swain, of Bridgeville;
George S. Williams, president of the
State Board of Education, of Mills
boro, and Captain Harry V. Lyons, of
Lewes. New Castle county will likely
be awarded the nomination of attOr-
ney general. James r. Morford, of
Wilmington, present chief deputy at
toney general, is being spoken of for
the office, but, it is understood that
he still faces some opposition. The
nomination of lieutenant governor will
go to Kent county, in all likelihood.
Few candidates have been mentioned
for this office.
