DEMOCRATIC PARTY
 RECOGNITION OF
 MINING IMPORTANT

Recognition of the mining in- dustry by the Democratic nat ional convention denotes that the great importance of the in- dustry in our industrial and economic life is at last becom- ing more appreciated than ev- CT before in our history.
 Despite the fact that the min ing industry is the primary basis of our tremendous in- dustrial growth during the past twenty-five years, it has never before been accorded even slight recognition by any of the great political parties in con, vention.
 Throughout the years the dominant parties in con- vention assembled have rec onized and endorsed about everything under the sun in their platforms, but never the industry, which more than al. others has made the United States the greatest manufact- uring nation the world has ever seen.
 Just why this has been the case is difficult to fathom. To our view it appears that such an attitude can scarcely be at tributed to oversight or lack of recognition of the import ance mining has played in the nations development. What ever the reason, it must be looked upon as one of the rankest cases of discrimination and injustice ever displayed in our political history. That the Democrats have recognized the fact is amply indicated by the terms of the platform adopted by the Houston con- vention, reading as follows:
 Mining is one of the basic industries of this country. We produce more coal ,iron and copper than any other country. The value of our mineral pro- duction is second only to agri- culture. Mining has suffered like agriculture and from simi- lar causes. It is the duty of our government to foster this industry and to remove the re- strictions that destroy it's pros- perity."

of a questionable nature
 probably half of the so-called investment trusts" are really not investments. The develop ment is important, however, and it may bring the solution of the problem of the small mine which needs compara- lively small capital, not enough to interest the ordinary pro- motion or financing house.

NO SHORT CUTS
 TO SUCCESS.

Lillian Gish, famous screen actress, recently remarked that it takes ten years of hard work to build up large fol- lowing and to make people de- mand name or face in the films. She speaks from person. al experience and from a knowledge of the experience of other screen folk.
 Here is a situation not limit ed alone t. movie stars. Doc tors and lawyers frequently justify their fees by the years they sps&t H. study and in building np a paying practice. It is not ,nly in fiction and the movies frat young artists starve in attics. Henry Ford struggled along for years be- fore Dame Fortune favored him. And his experience has been that of the founders of most of the country's great industries.
 Successful merchants often at tribute their business achieve ments to early years of strug- gle just one jump ahead of the sheriff. Their businesses rest on solid foundations usual ly laid by years of hard work and extensive advertising. Stores and other business ent- erprises do not win public con- fidence and widespread pa tronage by lottery.
 The larger rewards of screen stars, professional men and successful business men are vindicated by the years of self-sacrificing toll expended in winning them. Part of their income is back-pay. Many in- dividuals and business enter prises fail today because they are unwilling to pass through that formative period of hard knocks and hard work. The world wasn't built in a day, and great careers and monu- mental commercial enterprises are not produced by the wave of a wand.

THE CHAIN IDEA
 IN MINING (Mining Truth)

Several corporations recently organized have adopted the Flaw of averages" as a basis for mineral development. This is a logical outgrowth of fi- nancing, and it is somewhat strange that the mining indust- ry has been so many years later than the mercantile, pub fishing, banking and public service worlds in making use of it. Probably the recent growth in America of invest ment trusts" had something to do with the application of the idea, to mining. Britain has long had the investment trust" and also antedated the United States in expansion of chain mining and banking en- terprises.
 The theory simply is that several mines are safer than single mine. The Newmont company of William Boyce Thompson is known to have made considerable profits out of investments in Noranda, Flin Flon, Texas Gulf Sulphur and other operations. Large corporations such as the Ana conda, Kennecott, Consolidat- ed, Bunker Hill, Hecla, Fed eral, etc., have consistently fol- lowed the practice of placing part of their profits in new de- velopment enterprises. Several 1maller companies, such as Montana-Idaho, Lucky Five, Rainbow, Boundary Consoli- dated, Dakota Montana, etc., have evolved into owners of more than one property.
 Within the past few years !he principle has been applied to groups of partly developed pr undeveloped mines, and concerns have been organized like Associated Metals, Fed earted Metals, Canadian Mines Merger, Diversified Mines, Chain of Mines, Western Con- solidated Mines. Now comes. announcement from Denver of the organization of a Delaware corporation called Speculative Mineral Shares Company. Min ing Truth knows nothing about the company itself. It is quite likely that the new tendency will bring out some concerns

SMYRNA ROTARY CLUB MEETING
Held at Middletown-President G. $.

Held at Middletown-Pr President G.. :.
Williams, State School Board, Speaks
The Smyrna Rotary held their
meeting last week at the Middletown
/ Hotel, Middletown, on Thursday even
ing, October 4th. The direct purpose
of holding a meeting of the local
club at Middletown, was to present to
the people of Middletown clear CON
ception of what a Rotary Club really
IS, and the relative position it holds
in the particular community in which
i. is situated. For some weeks past
the Smyrna Rotary Club has been
working, chiefly through the efforts
of President "BilT' Matthews, to es-
tablish Rotary Club in Middletown.
It was to further these aims Of Pres
ident "BillP that the local club decid-
ed to hold this particular meeting on
October 4th. To achieve a greater
measure of success from the meeting
a number Of outstanding citizens of
Middletown were invited to attend
and President "Bill' proceeded along
the lines necessary to formation of a
new club. DIR. w. S. P COOmbs, Rev.
c. A. Crowley, Gilbert Michel, Byard
Vinyard and Z. W. Hukill agreed to
act as a committee to complete the
formation Of Middletown Rotary Club
and it is believed that their efforts
will at an early date meet with com
plete success. Rotary International
requires fifteen signed members be-
fore a charter can be granted to a
al, oa
members, as nucleus, it should not
be long before the remaining ten
members are acquired. George S.
Williams, President Of the State
Board of Education, and a member of
the Georgetown Rotary Club, was the
speaker Of the evening and a good
share of the success of the meeting
was due to the manner in which he
so ably presented his talk on Rotary.
The Smyrna Club is indeed greatly
indebted to him for his services. The
next meeting Of the Smyrna Rotary
Club will be held at Georgetown on
Friday evening, October 18th. Guests
of the Smyrna Rotary Club at Middle
town, were As follows: Rev J. B. Nc
Cabe, T. Bayard Vinyard, Rev G. A.
Crowley, William H. Reynolds, J. Z.
Walls, E. S. Jones, Louis A. Dreka,

ished by Miss Mary E. Hynson and

those present by singing a vocal solo.

CORN TESTS ABOUT SMYRNA
Plots on Farms Of Alex. Q. Darrah, ].
a. Sylvester and J. W. Vane, Selected

Plots on Farms Of Alex. @. Darrah, ].
a. Sylvester and J. w. Vane, Selected
In connection with the increase in
the amount Of dust disinfectants used
BY the corn growers in Kent County
this past year to control the root rot
and other fungous diseases that are
carried on the seed, arrangements are
being made BY County Agent Russell
=. Wilson to obtain the yields Of corn
this fall from the treated and un-
treated plots in each of the twelve
demonstrations in order to determine
the difference in the yield ard also in
the maturity Of the crop on each Of
these farms. This work is being con
Quoted this year on the farms Of. a.
2. Darrah, Clayton; P. 3. Kirby, Mil
ford; J. A. Sylvester, Clayton; John o
Tarburton, Dover; John w. Vane,
Smyrna; D. NJ. Wilson & Sons, Dover;
Denny Pleasanton, Dover; Samuel
O'Day, Harrington; J. W Webb, ST.,
and J. W. Webb, Jr., west of Willow
Grove; Harvey McGinnis, Wyoming,
and Anton Vodvarka, Hartly. This
seed corn treatment project was con
Quoted on five farms in Kent County
last year, and in checking up the re-
suits from those demonstrations, it
was found that the average increase
in yield in the treated areas on these
farms was 3.5 bushels per acre. Aside
from this increase, the corn produced
in the treated portion of each field
wa cnIfl ,y,I
much better condition for cribbing
than was that which was harvested
from the remainder Of the fields
planted with untreated seed. The in
creasing of the yield of corn per acre,
and the elimination of a larger per-
centage of soft and Gull ears, are two
important factors in the harvesting
of the crop, and in the carrying out
of the program of economic produc-
ton. These demonstrations were es-
tablished on twelve farms in the coun-
ty last spring with the hope that adj
ditional yield records might be secur-
ed to supplement those obtained last
year, but the severe wind and rain
storms this summer and fall were
very destructive to the corn crop thru
out the state with the result that it
will be difficult to check up these plots
this year. An effort will be made,
however, to obtain as accurate yields
as possible from each of these twelve
farms, as each farmer has been re-
quested to keep a record of the
amount of corn which is being grown
both on the treated and untreated
acreas in his field.
