Infinite Nature

System of nature! To the wisest
man, wide as is his vision, nature
remains Of quite infinite depth, OF
quite infinite expansion; and all ex-
perience thereof limits itself to some
few computed centuries and meas
ured square miles. The course of
natures phases, on this our little
fraction of planet, is partially
known to US, but who knows what
deeper courses these depend on; what
infinitely larger cycle (of causes) our
little epicycle revClves on?-Carlyle.

LEADING WOMEN
DEMOCRATS BOLT
SMITH FOR HOOVER


Amendment was, the most popular
Amendment ever written into the
Constitution, and was ratified by
fortv-six of the fOrty-eight states ;
and that thirty-three states were
dry before National Prohibition was
enacted! Everyone admits that the
prohibition laws have brought
about a more wholesome condluon,
a more sound economic condition, a
more sober condition since their
passage. We want enforcement put
into the hands of the friends of the
law.
I'VE women stand for principle
rather than party, and will support
the candidate who best embodies
our principles. We urge the sup
port of Herbert C. Hoover, who, in
his reply said 81 do not favor the
repeal of the Eighteenth Amend
ment, 1 stand for the efficient, Wig
Orous and sincere enforcement of
the laws enacted hereunder"
Hoover is a genuine dry, one who
believes in the law and observes it
himself, and who wants to secure
the full benefits of prohibition for
the health and happiness of Ameri-
can homes. 1 expect to vote for
Herbert Hoover.
Sincerely yours,

DELAWARE EGG CLUB
SHOWS BETTER YIELD
CCOntinned from first Pagel

Russell E. Wilson to the sixty-five
poultry raisers in Kent county who
are cooperating in this project by
sending in their monthly records OF
their flocks.
This report includes the egg pro-
duction records from 1861 hens
and pullets on 128 farms in the
state, and of this total number of
birds S,S47 are hens, 1853 are pull
lets and 1876 are in mixed fiocks.
B The hens laid on the average 11.3
eggs, as compared to ia eggs from
the pullets and 11.6 eggs per bird
from the mixed fiocks of both hens
and pullets. The production for Au-
gust, 1927, was 10 eggs per hen, 1876
eggs per pullet and Is eggs per
bird in the mixed flocks, which is a
slight increase over the records for
the same month this year.
One of the chief topics discussed
by Mr. Palmer in this report is the
Importance of having clean laying
houses for the pullets, for even if
the birds are in fine condition they
are more susceptible to disease than
hens, which makes it all the more
necessary that their winter quar-
tiers be kept in a sanitary condition
at all times. All the litter and ma
nure should be removed from the
floor, hOppers, rOOsts and other
equipment, and then the walls, floor
and fixtures washed with hot lye
water. After the houses have been
thoroughly cleaned they should be
sprayed with strong disinfectant
and the floors covered with fresh
litter to absorb the moisture from
the drOppings. If grain is fed on the
floor, only thin layer of litter
should be used for the pullets at
first, and after Eney learn to scratch |
for their grain the amount of litter
may be increased.
In regard to the feeding of those
pullets which are inclined to be I'M
thrifty, it is suggested that the
whole yellow corn to which has been
added Just enough of condensed but
termilk to thoroughly coat the grain
be given to them once or twice a
day in hOppers or trOughs. 1t is also
to feed only as much of
this mixture as the pullets will
clean up in fifteen or twenty min
utes, and only enough of this feed
for the one feeding. This
seems to serve as a tonic
and to stimulate the appetite of the
birds, while the corn aids materially
N putting on extra flesh. In addi-
ion to this supplementary ration
he pullets should be fed the dry
nash in hOppers as usual.

PREPARING SEED
BED FOR WHEAT

Wheat is a prime necessity of
civilized life. AS the standard of
living is raised, wheat becomes a
more important part of our food.
Therefore, the problem of the farm
er is to produce the highest quality,
largest yield per acre and at a mini
mum cost.
The best seed bed for wheat should
be friable or open so that it may
absorb and retain air, water and
heat. Air and warmth are both ex-
cluded from hard water soaked,
baked or puddled soil. Air supplies
nitrogen, aids in dissolving mineral
substances and coaxes the small
roots to penetrate the soil in search
of food and water.
The good farmer knows that til
ling or stooling of wheat depends
upon the normal growth of the root
system. Hence the better the seed
bed, the greater the yield at harvest
time.
Ground should be plowed reason
ably deep and rolled at once to re-
establish the capillary attraction
between the sub soil and the furrow
slice. Narrowing and rolling re-
duce the clods and makes the soil
friable and easy for the roots to pen
citrate. After the soil is we'll pulver-
lied and packed, loose dust mulch
should be maintained until seeding
time. Such seed bed will enable the
roots to develop rapidly and feed on
microscopic moisture should lack Of
rain exhaust the waters from pre-
vious rains. Above all insure your
wheat crop by properly preparing
the seed bed and giving every seed
every possible chance to develop
the greatest root system this fall,
states County Agent c. R. SNYDER.

settlement of bets on it's result.
"In ascertaining the meaning of
the statute it is obvious that much
depends upon the grammatical con-
/ structiOn and it is assumed that al
most the controlling consideration
is whether the word dependent re-
lates to or mOdifies the word where
in or whether it can only be read in
connection with the phrase, ON the
result of which,
1.-THE solution of the question de-
ponds upon whether the word
wherein and the phrase ON the re-
suit of which are correlative or
whether they are Independent one
from the other
eve are of the opinion that they
are independent and that the word
wherein refers to the fight itself
and not to the result of the fight. If
this is true, there can be nothing in
the context which requires the re-
stricted application or relation Of
the word dependent as contended
for by the defendant.
IF two men are to be paid $50 to
engage in an encounter, then the
payment of such money certainly is
dependent upon the fight itself and
not on the result of the fight. It can
scarcely be doubted that this con-
struction carries out the evident in
tent of the lawmakers at the time of
the passage of the act"
Concluding, the opinion states:
at is the opinion of the court that
the motion of the defendant to
quash the indictment should be de-
MED"

MANY VOTERS NAMES

on the books, they were refused the
privilege of voting at the primary.
Later, when voters appeared with
witnesses that they voted at the
general election, in 1926, some were
allowed to vote.
AS the Republican primary cleo
ton is to be held in Kent county on
September 20, the question is being
asked again as to whether such vo-
ters whose names do not appear on
the primary election books have a
right to vote at the next primaries.
Counsel agree that the registra-
ton officers who still have the regis
tration books in their possession can
transfer names or allow such voters
who apply for voting at the primary
elections vote the same as if their
names had been placed on the pri-
mary books.
At the Democratic Primary cleo
ton in one of the upper districts
there were five or six names omitted
from the primary election books, but
as the Registrar was available, he
with his books at the vot-
ing place and vouched for the names
not appearing on the primary cleo
ton books.

out of the area quarantined. The
Governor assured the department
that the people of Delaware would
cooperate in every way and added
that if the Delawareans did not get
what they wanted, they would keep
smiling and cooperate with the
government just the same.
The situation at Delmar was dis
cussed and the Delawareans prom1s-
ed the government department to
see that the section where the bee
ties were found was fumigated. Del
mar is partly in Delaware and part
ly in Maryland but it happened that
a number of Maryland people were
there to object to extending, the
quarantine in that state and they
promised to cooperate with the
Delawareans in fumigating the Sec
ton of Delmar.
No promise was made by the de-
partment except that the question
would be carefully studied.
Discusses Fishing With President
Leaving the Agricultural Depart

tee went to the White House where
they were received by President
Coolidge. Politics were not discuss
ed but after the Governor had in
troduced his friends the Governor
asked the President about his re-
cent fishing trips and Mr.. Coolidge
at once became enthusiastic on fish,
ing and gave a brief description of
some of his experiences. AS Gov
ernor Robinson is an expert fisher
man the remainder of the committee
obtained some valuable points on
fishing.
Though the committee was not
appointed as a political body it was
found that all the members were
and it was decided to
call on Chairman Work. They as
;ured him of the support of Della
ware.
The committee spent a very pleas
INT ten minutes and then went to
he post Office department where
hey called on Fourth Assistant
Postmaster Billany who is a person
i friend of all the members of the
committee and then returned home.
Leaving the Hoover headquarters
he governor and his party were
