KOSKI MAKING BIG
RECORD AS SALESMAN

Among selling men of the Delco-
Light Compay who are helping in the
building Of high sales volume for
the second quarter of 1929 is F. Koski
OF Billings and Red Lodge, according
to reports from the company's general
offices here.
Mr.. Koski is one of the members
of the Delco-Light Foundation, an or
ganization of picked dealers who
represent the highest producing sell
ing ability in the Delco-Light bus
mess.
| DelcoLight Foundation members
are pledged to definite quotas of
sales each quarter of the year, and
they represent one of the strongest
selling groups in the entire country.
Referring to his work in this terri
tory Mr.. Koski recently wrote the
factory that much of the credit for
his sales goes to the progressive COM
munity in which he lives.
In any community where there
is progressive farm population.
there is a ready appreciation of the
advantages ofelectric lights and run
ming water he wrote. "This is es-
peeially true in my territory where
farm prosperity is high and where
there is a class of rural population
that is interested in everything that
will contribute to farm advancement
and to rural profit and comfort"
Discussing the work D,elco-L Light
products do on the farm, Mr.. Koski
has written an unusually clear and
concise summary of the place farm
electrification is taking in rural life.
He, writes
mo longer need the farm home be
one of inconvenience. Modern scien-
tific developments provide the rural
home with all the up-to-date features
of the ideal city residence. Smoky
kerosene lamps have given way to
electric lights and all the modern
electrical appliances can be utilized. |
The farmers wife now does her iron
ing with an electric iron; her laundry
work is done with a modern electric |
washer. Running water is available, |
which reduces the drudgery of house
work to minimum. Heretofore this
was a convenience associated only
with city homes, now it is fast be-
coming a standard part of the rural T
residence.

MORE HONOR DOVER WOMAN
Miss Annie Cannon, Noted As
trOnOmer, is Native of Dover

Miss Annie Jump Cannon, a ma
tive of Dover, who is curator of
astronomical photographs for Har-
ward University and is considered
one of the foremost authorities on
astronomy in the country, is re-
ceiving more honors. The newest
honor accorded Miss Cannon comes
from the editor of Nature Maga-
zine, who commendS her for her
classification of 256, 900 stars ac-
cording to their various types by
means of their special lines. 1T
is a monumental piece of work
one that requires expert ability of
the highest order" states the mag
azine which also referred to the
named honorS that have been con-
ferred on Miss Cannon. Miss Can
non has completed the most COM
prehensive satalogue of the stars
ever undertaken. 1t covered the
whole sky from the North to the
South Pole, and stands as an un-
dertaking in astronomy that is un
approached in accuracy. Astron-
omers have come to regard Miss
Cannon as the most advanced wo-
man of the day in the arts and sci
ences and perhaps the very ablest
of her fellows in this profound vo-
cation. Miss Cannon is the daugh-
ter of the late Wilson L. Cannon
and at one time made her home
on South State street, Dover, in

BEAN BEETLE ENACTS TOLL
Small Gardens, 1t is Found, Are
Showing Most Trouble-Spraying

One of the greatest drawbacks
to vegetable farming are the beet
les and insects. A constant war
fare must be waged if any kind of
a crop is to be realized. This year
as well as last the bean beetle has
been the most destructive and
caused the heaviest losses. Last
year whole fields Of beans were
cut to pieces by these beetles and
the plants had to be plowed under
in some localities. The trouble is
not so much with the large grow
ers as with the small gardener, who
has a few beans growing and who
does not take the trouble to fight
the pest. AS a result the beetles
thrive on his patch and greatly
multiply and then go to the next
bean patch when the first one is
cleaned out In the larger patch
es, where acres of beans are grown
for the canning houses, spraying is
constantly done. and the beetles

tent. But this is useless as far as
determination is concerned if the
small gardener will continue to let
the beetle thrive in his patch and
multiply rapidly for other areas to
destroy. Before the beetle can be
satisfactorily dealt with every
gardener, whether he be large or
small, must enter the fight to rid
this county of this destructive pest
Magnesium arsenate is the best
solution with which to spray the
vines, and if everyone with a bean
patch would enter the fight by
spraying his garden the beetle
would soon disappear from these
sections.

who has been working on the pro-
ject for the past two months, an
nounced Monday that he is leaving
Delaware City for good and that
the project would be dropped fin
ally as far as this locality is con-
cerned. Mr.. Love informed sever
al friends who have been working
with him for the past several
weeks on the enterprise that the
failure of the people in that i'm
mediate section to option their
land to him was the main cause of
dropping the matter there He
stated that he had only been able
to secure 1880 acres of land under
option in the vicinity and as it was
the plan to establish the main part
of the city along the river at,
above and below Delaware City, it
was useless to attempt to secure

RAY FISH OFF LEIPSrC CREEK
Fishermen Are Pulling Some in
Weighing Nearly Hundred Pounds

Two members of a party from
West Chester, Pa, who visited
Delaware Bay, near Leipsic, on
Wednesday, hooked huge rays,
weighing at least forty pounds and
had their own troubles. The fish
are said to be the males of the
sting ray and are not equipped
with the deadly sting of the fe-
males. They grow to a weight of
a hundred pounds and give all
sorts of trouble when hooked. To
boat one means a long and fierce
struggle. The rays are unusually
numerous in the Bay during Aug
ust. A few days ago Samuel En-
triken, of West Chester, hooked
one which required nearly half an
hour to get to the surface and kill.
The boatmen estimated it to weigh
at least sixty pounds.

POPULATION OF DELAWARE BY
ESTIMATE SHOWS INCREASE
BOARD OF HEALTH WORKS
UP INTERESTING STATISTICS
Canvas Shows New Castle County
Has Had Substantial Gain While
Kent and Sussex Show Loss

According to the estimates of
the State Board of Health the pop
ulation in Delaware increased from
223,O03 in 1920 to PAL, ,615 in 1928,
a period of eight years. The esti-
mates indicate an increase in pop
ulation in Wilmington and rural
New Castle County but a decrease
in Kent and Sussex Counties.
These estimates are set out in the
current issue of the Delaware
Health News" published by the
State Board of Health under the
direction of DR.. Arthur G. Jost, ex-
ecutive secretary of the state
board. The article estimates an
increase in population in Whining
ton during the period specified of
IS per cent, rural New Castle
County an increase of 5 per cent,
Kent county a decrease Of 4 per
cent and Sussex decrease of 5
per cent. Despite the estimated
decrease in the two lower counties
the estimated increase in New
Castle County including Whining
ton is sufficient to more than off
set that and provide a substantial
estimated increase of 1858 for
the entire state. The article eS-
Inmates that the increase in popu-
lation among the negroes of the
state has been very slight. The
estimates in this article is. based
safely on the natural increase in
population, the excess of births
over deaths for the period. It does
not take into consideration the
number moving into and out of
the State SO the total increase
might be considerable above the
estimates made. The total natur-
al increase (eXcess of births over
deaths), is given as 1921 for the
white for the S-year period, and
but So for the colored. The esti-
mates given for the four consti-
tutional districts of the state for
1870 COIIlpdIeQ Will IiIS ACTUAL
population as shown by the 1920
census follows: Wilmington, 1920,
11O,168; estimated for 1928, $780,
CAB; increase 20,475. Rural New
Castle County-1920, 3s,O71; esti-
mated for 1928, 4O,132; increase
2,062. Kent County-192O, 3D.

decrease, 1921. Sussex County
1920, 43,741; estimated for 1928,
A. 1888; decrease 2,4O3. While the
1920 census showed Wilmington
having not quite so per cent of the
total population of the state if the
estimates of DR.. Jost are correct,
Wilmington last year had more
than 54 per cent of the total popu-
lation Of the state.

hOdu CONTRACTOR at IeInpIeNIile
No trace of the Kilson negro
who assaulted Albert Starkey,
while, just over the Maryland line
near Templeville, on Saturday last
has as yet been secured by either
the Delaware or Maryland officers.
One report Monday was to the eff
feet that he had been seen at
Smyrna Saturday night. Another
report was to the effect that col
ored man had taken him to Wood
side Sunday afternoon to catch a
train. Both reports were investi-
gated but he was not located. 1t
has been ascertained that Kilson
has but recently been released
from prison and that he had been
working but a few hours on the
road job in Maryland, when he de-
manded his pay of the paymaster,
who told him he would get it in
due time. Declaring that he would
have it then or know the reason"
he kicked the paymaster in the
stomach and other wise injured
him after which he fed and was
located in an outbuilding some dis
tance from where the accident
happened. On being located in the
building, Starkey who was the one
to open the door received the full
blow of the axe the negro welded.
Kilson then fled to a dense woods
nearby where he successfully elud-
ed the officers. The condition of
Starkey was reported favorable at

Doing Thousands of Dollars Good
Smyrna and vicinity was visited
by the first copious rain Wednes-
day evening last in several weeks,
ending the long protracted drought
in which fields as well as gardens
were being burnt up. There were
two electric storms, the first being
around seven o'clock and the other
around ten o'clock. The storm
was accompanied by heavy winds.
The rain was welcome visitor, as
this section had passed through a
drought extending over period of
several weeks. Early paintings of
sugar corn, field corn, and in fact
all vegetation had been greatly
damaged, and there will be a
heavy loss as a result of the pro-
longed dry spell. Late crops, if
another drought does not set in,
will be greatly benefited. The
rain will be a boon to tomatoes.

WORK ON MITCHELL HALL
New SS50,000 Auditorium at L. of

Much progress has been made
by the Lauritsen Construction
Company of Wilmington the last
10 days in the building of Mitchell
Hall, the SS50,O0O auditorium
building at the University of Del
aware, Newark, to be presented to
the University of Delaware as a
gift from H. Rodney Sharp to be
named in honor of DR.. S. c. Mitch
ell, a former president of the Uni
versity. The building will face on
the campus with the rear on South
College avenue, short distance
north of the Memorial Library. All
the concrete has been laid including
the stage on the first floor. The
brick work is now being laid and
most of the window frames are in.
The brick steps to the entrance of
the building have also been put In
place. A deep ditch has been dug
from the building to the power
plant on the opposite side of the
campus for the heating pipes. The
corner stone of this building Will
be laid at the convocation exer-
cises next month when DR.. Samuel
c. Mitchell, former president of
the university and now at the Uni
versity of Richmond, will come
for the occasion, the building be-
ing named in his honor. The con-
tractor for the addition to the new
engineering building for which the
Legislature appropriated $4,000
started to haul bricks for the work
several days ago. This building,
however. or most of it, will be in
use with the opening of college
while the addition is being erected.
All of the old shacks used for sew
eral years as engineering buildings
south of Harter Hall have all been
razed and the ground is being
cleared off. The removal of these
small shacks which, however, were
of great benefit to the engineering
building for some years will great

SCHOOLS GETTING READY

all Rooms and Departments Rem
Ovated in Readiness for Opening


The public schools in Delaware
with a few exception will open for
the next school year on Tuesday,
September 3rd. In some few dis
tricts the opening date has been
made later in order to conform
with certain conditions that exist
in these districts, but in the ma
jority of cases, schools will open
on Tuesday, September the third.
Smyrna Special District Schools
will fall in line with the majority
and already rooms and depart
ments are being renovated in an
ticipation for the opening day. One
of the improvements is having all
the windows and doors weather
stripped Supt. C. w. w. Schantz
who with his family, are spending
their vacation in Rehoboth, was in
town last week looking over some
details. A slight increase in the
state enrolment over last year is
expected by the school officials.
They also expect practically all of
the children to be in school for the
opening day. Very few teacher
vacancies remain in the school
system. There are more appli-
cants for positions than there are
vacancies at the present time. Two
more high school teachers are
needed to fill places made vacant
by designations. There are also
some vacancies in the district
schools but these have not come to
the attention of the State officials
as they are handled by the local
district trustees. A letter will
soon be sent to the district super
intendents and high school prin-
cipals by Prof. John Shilling, as
sistant state superintendent in
charge of high schools, pointing
out the necessity of having full
day of school work on the opening
day He urges that after the few
minutes required for getting the
roll together and issuing text
books, that the work of school
start right off in earnest.
