SENATOR DU POINT RESIGNS
SEAT

United States Senator T. Coleman
du Pont, who has been i'll for long
time, has resigned his seat in the
Senate.
Thet resignation was made public
on Thursday by Governor Robinson
of Delaware
The term of Senator du Point, who
was IS years old on Tuesday, ex-
pires March A. 1881. He was APP
pointed to the Senate by Gov. Will
liam D. Denney in 1921 to serve
out of the term of Senator Jociah O.
Wolcott, Democrat, who resigned to
become Chancellor of Delaware.
Senator du Point was unsuccessful in
the campaign for election, being de-
feated in 1922 by Thomas F. Bay
ard, Democrat, who in turn was de-
feated for reelection last month,
Senator du Pont tried, again for the
Senate in 1924 and was successful.

OUT-OF-sTATE GROWERS BUY
CERTIFIED POTATOES

While 1851 bushels of certified
seed potatoes have been produced in
Maryland during the past season,
heavy demands from out-of-state
buyers promise to exhaust the sup
plies before all the needs of growers
of the State are met, according to
DR.. r. "A. Jehle, plant pathologist
for the University Of Maryland Ex-
tension Service;
Final inspections of the potatoes
grown for seed in Maryland this fall
have recently been completed by DR..
Jehle. In all there were $40 acres
under supervision, Ill of which,
however, were disqualified for var
lou reasons. The thirty-nine grow
ers engaged in producing seed for
certification will have available for
sale 1886 bushels of Irish Cob
blers, $50 bushels of Jersey Red
skins, 900 bushels of Rural Russets,
600 bushels of World Wonder, 500
bushels of Mills Prize. 800 bushels
of Green Mountain, 500 bushels Of
Carmen and smaller lots of several
other varieties.
Maryland potato growers who de-
sire high quality certified seed for
next springs planting should not de-
lay in making purchases, according
to DR.. Jehle. Otherwise. they may
be forced to look elsewhere for seed
that probably will be no better in
quality than the Maryland-grown
stock. Demand for the Maryland
supply, it is said, is particularly
keen in Virginia, where the seed
potato crop was rather poor, and in
New Jersey where growers last year
had an opportunity to try out Mary
land seed in large quantities.
Many Maryland growers have
been partial to Maine potatoes in
past years, says DR.. Jehle, but there
is no good reason for their prefer
ence, especially since certification
has resulted in the production of
equally good quality in this State.
The Eastern Shore, it is said, is pro-
ducing small sized cobbler equally
as good as the northern grown seed
and in some respects better.

American University was first OPEN
ed In September, 1925. 1t is locat-
ed on ninety acre campus about
four miles from the center Of Wash
ington. 1t was recently approved
as standard college and fully ac-
credited by the Association of Col
leges and Secondary Schools Of the
Middle States and Maryland. This
recognition, which was unusual in
that it has come to the College be-
fore it has graduated four classes,
is due largely to the high standards
of the institution, the high quality of
work done, and to the rapid increase
in enrolment, the increase each

The COMMUNITY TREE

THIS Is the sls,rs they Tell in a vii.
I lage by the sea: 1t was rather q
small village, and not very rich vii
lage, and most Of the people who lived
there were fishermen and their fam
lilies.
AT Christmas time young girl de.
cided that they must be up to date
and have community tree. It touk a
deal Of talking and wheeding and get,
ting around old people who could
see no sense In It. But at last tho
necessary money was raised
all but few dollars. The young girl
decided to- go to across old captain
who was never known to give anything
to anybody. except ill-natured replies.
The girl used all her art to persuade
him. He said 1t was waste Of money
and electricity and had no sense to 1t.
Il wouldn't give penny" he growled.
( mot If every man and woman in the
town begged me on their knees. Fool
iishest COINS on ever heard"
But the young girl was not discour,
aged. She had set her heart on hav-
Ing the tree. Finally she managed to
raise the required amount.
The tree stood straight and tall on
high hill overlooking the sea. It
blazed with light and was very beau
tiful. Everyone admired II except the
captain.
Christmas eve there came a sudden
storm of wind and snow. But shin
ing through the fakes CLEANED the
lighted tree. The captains son. Rog-
er. had gone to the next village on
business. On the way home his car
broke down. He was compelled to
walk. Weary and spent he finally ar
rived at his home. The captains face
was lined with anxiety.
Thought We were lost" be said ;
what's been the trouble?"
y Roger related his experiences, and
then said, "1he storm grew so bad
that almost gave up. IScould hardly
tell where ! was. It was hard to walk.
Then | saw the Christmas tree
and that was the one thing that led
me home" %
