WHITE RIBBONERS
OPPOSE LAW CHANGE
rcOntinued from first pagel


effort on the part of every local
county, state and federal official foI
law enforcement.
I'VE emphasize the necessity OF
cooperation on the part of the in
dividual.
"As world peace was one of Fran
ces Willard's visions, let us never
! fail to think, pray and work for In
ternational policies and obligations
between nations to that end.
"Since our children and our
young folks of today will be the citi-
zen voters, and home makers of to-
morrow. we most earnestly urge that
every union put forth greater effort
in the loyal temperance legion and
young peoples branch.
I'VE commend federal and state
officials who at personal risk are
faithfully doing their duty; we pay
tribute to the brave men who have
lost their lives enforcing the law,
and we extend our sympathy to
their families.
1--WE refuse to accept the Canadian
plan of government sale as a sub
stitute for prohibition. Under that
plan the government manufactures,
sells and exports intoxicating liq
uors. The distributors are govern
ment agents. The old-fashioned bar
lenders reappears as a civic employ
ee. Every claim for the Canadian
olan as a solution of the liquor
problem has been disproved by the
official records of the Dominion and
provincial governments.
I'VE insist it is bad form and dis
loyal to fiount the constitution and
that the standard of society should
conform to that OF patriotic law OBJ
jervance.
1--WE commend writer's and enter
tainers who eliminate from stories,
plays and scenarios the idea that
thinking is essential to a good time.
The average American family has
Nothing in common with the sort of
life portrayed in many current nov
els and upon the screen and stage,
md we recommend that the legisla-
i've department endeavor to have a
motion picture censorship bill pass
ed at the next session of our Legis-
.atue.
1--WE call attention to the increas-
ing number of physicians and mem
Ders of hospital staffs who, as the
result of research and experiment,
have discarded alcohol as a thera-
peutic agent.
1--WE condemn the abuse of pre-
scription privileges. We brand as a
public menace the bootlegging drug
gist who sells liquors without pre-
5cription and who connives at the
diversion of industrial alcohol to
medical or beverage use. /
1--WE deplore the home manufac- !
.ure of home brew and homemade
vine, and the use of alcoholic sauces i
ind flavOring, all of which foist and |
create the appetite for alcoholic
lrink and perpetuate social customs
which would now be obsolete.
1--WE urgently appeal to merchants
o discontinue the sale of ingred-
ents, utensils and containers, plain
y merchandised for use in the
manufacturing and transportation of

NEGROES ARE LOYAL

is an insult to any intelligent man
or woman"
Chairman Swain is decidedly opti-
mistic regarding results in Sussex
county. The County Committee is
meeting regularly each week at the
Georgetown headquarters and for
the benefit of all the Office is kept
open regularly each day. The sec
retary reports an impressive num-
ber of requests for information and
facts.
Beside Chairman Swain there are
many other prominent Republican
leaders in Sussex who announce
that there has never been a greater
display of party harmony in the
county. The committeeman have
been working hard in behalf of the
National, State and County tickets.
One of the prominent upper-county
members made the following state
ment regarding the outlook, when
questioned recently:
Sussex will poll a larger vote for
the National, State and County tick
cts this year, than ever before in the
past. There are literally scores of
dyed-in-the-wOol Democrats in Sus-
sex who are openly carrying Hoover
signs on their cars and just as Op-
emily fighting Smith. On our State
ticket Sussex County Republicans
are one-hundred percent united for
John G. Townsend, Jr., for U. S.
Senator; c. Douglass Buck, for Gov
ernor; Bob Houston for Congress, as
the rest of the ticket, as though they
had never had but one view on the
selection of party candidates"
Several large meetings are sched-
uled throughout Sussex during the
remainder of the campaign. A COM
plete announcement of the meeting
plans will be released from head
quarters later this week.

ASKS ELECTION OF
TOWNSEND TO SENATE
rContiaued from first pagtl

tion costs than is possible in this
country.
"a Republican Senate during the
mast eight years has insisted on
nreserving adequate protection, and
will continue that policy as long as
il has a majority in that body.
"The election of Governor Town
send to the Senate, therefore, is vi
tally important to the citizens of
Delaware, now happily and gain
fully employed, as a result of the
benefits protection has brought to
industry, labor and agriculture.
What would happen to Delaware
under Democratic plans to revise
the tariff downward? There would
be an immediate decrease in market
values of products of Delaware's
farms, orchards, canneries, iron ana
steel plants, foundries and machine
shops and fisheries, and scores of
other business enterprises. Decrease
in market values would force wage
reductions and unemployment.
"a vote for Governor Townsend
will be a vote to keep out of Ameri-
can markets, low priced products
made with cheap labor in foreign
countries. 1t will be a vote to as
sure reasonable profits for industry,
high wages for labor, and to pre-
serve the high living standards
which protection has made possible.
"The Republican policy of pro-
lection means that foreign manufac-
turers of similar commodities must
pay a tariff toll for the privilege of
selling in American markets.
"This is the foundation of the
prosperity of our business enter
prises. Protection, is, in turn, re-
sponsible for the ability of industry
to pay good wages, permitting wage
earners to live we'll, enjoy life and
give their families the advantages
that go with our standard of living.
What would Democratic Senators
do for Delaware's industries, farm
ers and wage-earners?
Democratic Senators are perfect
ly willing to permit the sale of more |
foreign goods, similar to those pro-
duced in Delaware, by lowering the |
tariff. Clearly, if more foreign COM !
petition is allowed fewer goods |
made in Delaware will be sold in |
American markets. This would |
mean less work and lower earnings
for Delaware's citizens. 1t would |
mean fewer wage-earners in Della :
ware and less wages to spend.
"a vote for Governor Townsend |
will be a vote to protect the pocket
books of Delaware's business men,
producers and workingmen. A vote
for Governor Townsend will be a
vote to sustain the protective tariff
principle. A vote for Governor
Townsend will be a vote against
the plainly devised program of DEM
Ocratic Senators to effect tariff re-
duction with all of it's ruinous con-
sequences"

EXPERIMENTS WITH
COOLING MOTH
[COntinued from first page]


has been conducted in Kent county
for the past seven years for the pur-
pose of obtaining data with refer
ence to the adult emergence dates
and the proper time to spray to con-
troll this insect.
Previous to the appointment OF
DR.. H. L. DoZier, Entomologist OF
the Delaware Experiment Station
four years ago, these codling moth
studies were conducted each spring
and summer under the supervision
of Kent County Agent Russell E.
Wilson, who placed the larvae in
small wire observation cages in a
few Of the representative CONNER
cial orchards to observe the time of
maximum emergence of the first
brood of adult moths.
A similar codling moth control
campaign was planned for this area
again this year under the direction
of DR.. Dozier, in cooperation with H.
G. Butler, Assistant Entomologist,
who has charge of the insectary at
Camden, Delaware, and through
whose assistance the larvae were
collected for use in these observa-
tion cages in the orchards this year
These cages were placed in eleven
apple orchards throughout the fruit
sections of the county last spring,
and during the month of May, they
were inspected at frequent intervals
to record the life history activities.
AS an additional feature of this pro-
ject for this year, however, larvae
were collected and placed in these
eleven cages again IN October in
order that study might be made
concerning the life history of this
insect under natural conditions in
the orchards during the winter.
The orchards which are being US
ed for this work include those of
Arthur Bowman, H. E. Coverdale, J.
H. Richter, Henry Ridgely, F. w.
Richardson, H. c. Richardson, Err
nest B. Raughley, w. L. Smith, J.
Leonard Soper, Ed. Todd, and n. w.
Taylor. With the exception of the
Bowman, Richter, and H. c. Rich |
ardson farms, the apple orchards in
which this project is being carried
on this year are the same ones as
those which were used in 1927 in ac-
cordance with the codling moth con-
troll program for Kent county.
Considerably more effort is being
put forth each year toward checking
up on these observation cages and
the fruit growers with the
latest information relative to the
1
the necessity for continuing this pro-
iect from year to year is shown by
The fact that there is a variation of
rom ten days to two weeks in the
period of maximum emergence of
he adult moths in this section of
he country.

BEGIN TO FATTEN
TURKEYS In DELA.

being provided with plenty of food,
will fatten up.
In discussing "black head" among
turkeys, DR.. Frank Hare, pathologist
of the State Board of Agriculture,
says there is a way to protect the
turkeys from this disease. They
should be kept separated from
chickens. The latter, while immune
from the disease, are carriers of it.
Contrary to common opinion, tur-
keys will thrive if confined and if
properly handled will not lose
weight. Many persons have believed
that confinement made turkeys lose
in weight and for that reason have
permitted them to range.
DR.. Hare suggests that it is better
to prevent than to try and cure
"black head" after it arrives. He ad-
vises raisers to change the turkeys
from one yard to another so they
may be more free from danger of
acquiring the disease.

SCHOOL NEWS

Playing the best game of Theil
career, the Milford High School Soc
Ger team went down to defeat be-
fore fast and we'll coached Denton
High School team to the tune of 2-1
The Denton team is one of the
best teams on the Eastern Shore of
Maryland and that means something
for the schools of Maryland have
been playing this ancient and hon
orable game since 1916.
Play was very fast and character
lied by the clean play and excellent
sportsmanship of both teams. Mil
ford, aided by a stiff breeze, kept the
play in Denton's territory practically
all of the first half. However, the
very fine defensive work of the Den
ton fullbacks prevented a score until
late in the period. Prettyman, CEN
ter forward, received a pass from the
side and scored. This was the only
score of the half and Milford went
into the second half with one
point lead
The second half was a different
story. Denton had the advantage of
the wind and made good use of it.
Milford didn't have a chance to
score and it was just a question of
how long the great defensive work
of Cohen, Dickerson and Sharp could
hold out against a determined line.
With 10 minutes to go Denton scor-
ed and followed quickly with a &C.
ond goal. Milford rallied, but in
vain, and the half ended with Dem
ton the victor 2-1.
The undefeated Greenwood team
came into Milford's back yard and
romped away with a 80 victory.
This same team, with one or two
exceptions, was last years state
champions.
The first half found Milford as
good as Greenwood and there was
no score. The game was played
back and forth with the visiting
lalfs and the home fullbacks fea-
turing the play.
In the second half, Greenwood, a
slow starter, got under way and
rom then on the game was never in
loubt. The forward line was pass
ng well and kicking accurately
md the Milford defense was unable
o cope with them. The final score
vas 80 in favor of the visitors.
The Milford School has received
certificate from the National Red |
ross showing that the school has I
,een a member of the Red Cross for
be past ten years.

ord pupils to their savings accounts
