ONLY TWO WEEKS REMAIN
TO GET STATE LICENSES
ALI Business Concerns Must Pro-
cure Licenses During June

All Business Concerns Must Pro-
cure Licenses During June
Clerks of the Peace of both Kent
and Sussex counties have announ-
ced that they are ready to issue all
State licenses for 192S-1929. Under
the law these licenses must be pro-
cured during the month Of June.
Every business establishment and
professional man must have a State
license procured from the Office of
the Clerk of the Peace in the county
where the business is located. Pen
alties are added on all those which
are not issued during June.
In past years it was the custom
Of a large number of persons to
wait until near the end of June be-
fore applying for the license with
the result that the Clerk of the
Peace's Office was sometimes jam
med beyond it's capacity. 1t is
hoped that this would not be the
case this year and that the applica-
tions will be received early so that
the work can be handled without
the use of additional help.
Any persons desiring the applica-
ton blanks mailed to them can have
them sent by notifying the Clerk of
the Peace's Office in Dover or
Georgetown.

COMPETING In ORATORY

1t is computed that 100000 young
people competed in the recent Ma
tional Oratorical contest, the finals
of which have just occurred at
Washington, D. c., with the first
prize going to James R. Moore, of
Somerset, Kentucky. The great in
terest taken in this competition sug-
gests that the young people of today
are not as light and trifling as many
would have us believe.
Preparing for this contest must
have taken a lot of time, which the
contestants would no doubt have
liked to give to their sports and pas
times, but some ambition stirred in
their hearts to see if they could not
win honors in the oratorical line.
No doubt the work done for this
prize was outside of their regular
tasks.
It is a fine thing to have this re-
newed interest taken in the subject
of public speaking, which has been
neglected in many schools. Former
ly young people were generally
taught to give declamations, but of
late years school courses have be-
come so very crowded that the sub
ject has been crowded out or too
much ignored in many schools.
AS a result of this neglect, many
men and women have come up who
are highly educated, but who have
never mastered the art of speaking
in public. This limits their power
very much. They may have good
ideas, but if they begin to tremble
and shake whenever they get up in
public to address a meeting, they are
not in a position to exercise much
influence.
Consequently it often happens that
people who have tong
uey gift will be able to carry out
their ideas and get them accepted,
while people with substantial infor-
nation and knowledge remain si-
lent. Oratorical practice and debat-
ing contests remedy this lack, and
give our educated young people the
power to express their ideas and OBJ
tain support for them.
SoS
THE way to have some of the best
families ask you to call again is to
be a bill collector.

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE responds

PRESIDENT COOLIDGE responds
again to that age-old lure that
draws people to the wonders of the
forest lands, and will spend his
vacation in the heart of the lake
and timber region of northwest
Wisconsin. It reminds one of the
psalms of David, in which he
wrote, 20 that 1 had wings like a
dove, for then 1 would fly away and
be at rest. Lo, then would I wan
der far off, and remain in the will
derness."
Men may crowd for their worldly
pursuits into cities and towns. But
always this love of wild places re-
mains. Millions of people each
summer seek out these places where
the works of man have not tarnish-
ed the pictures of nature. We
should save plenty of spaces of
wild natural beauty, where men
and women like King David and
President Coolidge, can find rest.

supported by similar checks in the
Eastern Shore of Maryland and

AS an indication of the tourist
traffic entering the Peninsula thus
far this season, 81 automobiles
bearing Pennsylvania and New Jer-
sey license plates, each occupied
by three or more sportsmen, visited
four Sussex county lakes and ponds
within a radius of 16 miles last Sat

water fishing grounds in Delaware
during the same period indicate
that at least double this number of
foreign licensed cars visited other
points.
Since May 25, when the season
opened on game fishing in Delaware,
an impressive number of sport-lov-
ing anglers have visited the scores
of lakes and streams over the week.
ends. AS the game laws of Mary
land do not provide an open season
until July, the greatest number of
sportsmen come into Delaware dur
ing the last week in May and during
June. Later, there is usually a de-
cided increase in the number of Wis
iting sportsmen, with the Maryland
counties attracting numbers equal
to that of Delaware.
Metropolitan newspapers and
leading magazines are requesting

A score of articles prepared by the
Publicity Department of the Del
Mar-Va Association have been pub
lished on this subject offering dir
ect data and authentic information.
That decided value may be at
tached to the visit of nonresident
sportsmen is evidenced by the ma
terial increase in revenue from
sales of nonresident fishing license,
in addition to the material sums
known to be expended by these Wis
ltors for food, lodging, boat and
guide hire, and also for gasoline
and oil, while en- route to and from
their destinations. Many residents
in the vicinity of the lakes and
streams visited by sportsmen, find |
he hire of their boats and services
and the sale of their produce most |
lucrative. In several sections small |
1eets of boats have been construct
I'd as a result of this demand, and |
lamp sites are being rented from
weekend to full season periods.
