GRANGE TO HOLD
GREAT CONVENTION
Thousands. From Many States VIII
Go To Seattle In November

Few more impressive conventions
of any sort will be held in the Unit
ed States during 1929 than the 63rd
annual session of the National
Grange which is to convene at Seat
tie, Washington, November 13, to
continue 10 days. Upwards of 80 diff
ferent states will be represented, in
cluding all those on the Atlantic
Coast from Maine to North Carolina,
as well as every Pacific Coast state
and practically an unbroken chain
across the continent as far south as
West Virginia, Kentucky and Okla
homa. An attendance of several
thousand grange members is GER
tain and a class in excess Of 5000
candidates is expected for the
Seventh Degree, the highest which
the Grange confers and available
only once a year at the national
session.
Seattle is selected as this years
meeting place because Of the excep-
tional grange growth the past five
years in the Pacific Coast States of
Washington, Oregon, Idaho and
California. This year Washington
and Oregon lead all the states of the
nation in grange organization and
membership increase, it being nip
and tuck between these two states
which shall be ahead in both these
directions when the grange books
are closed at midnight on September
80. In few other sections of the
country also is the grange organiza-
ton more influential in public af-
fairs than in these great states of the
Pacific Coast and some Of the most
progressive legislation that has ever
gone upon their statute books has
resulted from Grange initiative;

FORMER DELAWAREAN
KILLED AT CHESTER
Arthur M. Barnes, Formerly OF
LeWes Meets Accidental Death

A former Wilmington patrolman,
Arthur M. Barnes, A was shot and
fatally wounded in the Chester Arms
Hotel, Chester, Pa, last Saturday
night, by John Deemer, clerk at
the hotel, who surrendered to the pO-
lice.
Deemer is being held without bail
pending the investigation of a coro-
ner's jury. Barnes is said to have
exonerated him from all blame in
a statement made to police before he
died.
According to the statement made
by Barnes to police, he entered the
hotel where he had been boarding,
Saturday night about II, and asked
Deemer about an account he had
with the hotel. Deemer gave him the
information, and during friendly
chat offered to show him an auto
matte pistol.
It was during the exhibition of the
firearm, that the trigger was acci-
dentally pressed, and the bullet went
through Barnes left side and pass
ed through his body. He was taken
to the Chester General Hospital
where he died Sunday morning.
Barnes has a sister living at Chin
colleague, Va. His parents are said
to live somewhere in the lower part
of this State.
Barnes was born at Lewes and in
1920 he became a member of the Bu-
reau of Police of Wilmington, but af-
ter serving for a short time he went
to Newark where he became Chief Of
Police. He was also employed by the
Ford Motor Company at Chester.
His body was claimed by his sis
ter, and was taken to Lewes for
burial.

CARNIVAL CLOSES WITH
AWARDING OF PRIZES
Affair This Year Not So Successful
As In The Past; Bad Weather

The Carlisle Fire Company of Mil
ford closed their annual carnival on
Wednesday evening after series Of
postponements due to stormy wea-
ther. The net proceeds this year
will be much smaller than last year
because of the delays occasioned by
the weather. On Wednesday eve
ming the prizes were awarded as
follows: Essex car to John H.
Roach, former tax collector of Mil
ford; suite of living room furniture
to Herbert Street, of Lewes; $4,000
in gold to Miss Dora Calhoun, Of
Lincoln. It is more than likely that
the firemen will hold their carnival
later in the autumn next year.

AUTO ACCIDENTS
INCREASE In NATION
Notwithstanding Safety Work Per-
centage OF Deaths Has Steady
Gain.

The possibilities of getting killed
by an automobile, at the present
time, is ten per cent greater than a
year ago.
This is the assertion of the Safety
Committee of the American Motor
lists Association, National Body of
the Delaware Automobile Associa-
ton, which it declared is substanti-
ated by figures of the United States
Census Bureau. The figures, just
revised, show that the death rate by
automobiles, for the year ending Au-
gust 10, 1929 was 24.3 persons per
100000 population, compared with
22.1 per 100000 population for the
previous corresponding year, or an
increase of approximately 10 per
cent for the 12-month period.
The figures are compiled from
mortality statistics of the 78 largest
cities of the country, showing that
for the year ending August 10 last,
the total killed in these 7S cities
was 1886 persons. The total death
roll, by automobiles, for the calendar
year of 1928, according to the revised
figures, for the entire country was
24,932, bringing the grand total kill
ed in this manner during the past II
years up to 1888.
An analysis of the number Of au-
tomobile fatalities per 100000 auto
mobile registrations shows steady
decrease during the ten year period
from 1917 to 1926, but that beginning
with 1926 there has been an increase,
despite the highway safety work of
Federal, State and municipal govern
ments in conjunction with automo-
bile associations. Figures of the U. S.
Census Bureau, covering not only
the 7S cities but the entire United
States since 1917, show the follow
ing comparison:

Fatalities per
100 mn AutO

"The revised figures for last year
show that there were 102 persons
killed for each 100000 of motor We
hicle registration. Considering the
concerted effort to curb automobile
fatalities, during the past five years,
the figures are bit disappointing in

ious points in North Dakota will be
presented to the state game and fish

mately $50 900. Members of the local
Sportsmen's organization believe that
the money could be spent in no bet
ter way than restocking the state

Birds would be purchased from
pheasant farms throughout the coun-
try and released in this state to en-
Joy the closed season which is in ef-
feet now. In short time North Da-
kota would be pheasant hunters

survey by Madge Thurlow Macklin,

Miss Macklin's report is made for

her analysis is based on hundreds of

previous interpretations rating the

due to the probability that these con-
