NO DERBY RULES GOVERN
 ALGERIAN CAMEL RAGING


 TOUGGOURT, Algeria, June 27. Sport may not be taking the rapid strides in Algeria that it is in some countries, but the natives here have a competition which they enjoy and which is amusing to the spectators.
 The sport is camel racing, and is tndulged in during big festivals. The choice racer is a different breed from the dromedary It is called the "mehari"
 The start of the race is very muddled, and the camels batter to very confusing finish. Often three or four riders lay claim to first place and not infrequently the conclusion sees a fight.
 The Jockey is called me harist," and he has marvellous com mand of his mount. He uses neith- CT bridle nor bit, directing his anil nal by the pressure of his feet and by pinching the camels hide with his toes,

 Some spectators in Irela n q bought up bonds at a cheap rate But the government will only pay either the original subscribers or those to whom the bonds may have been transferred for full value. This ruling applies also to America,

meet there but who may have gotten
old and feeble or who may have been
diverted by accommodating difficult
ties. BY all means come home. Any
one who loves and is helped by an
fashioned class meeting will find
a feast here. Any one who has
never seen an Old-fashioned class
meeting may have that pleasure and
have a chance to catch the inspira-
tion on Sunday morning at 8 o'clock.
Every superintendent of the Sun
day school since its first Organia-
tion is now living in Milford and is
expected to be present. 1t will be a
great service. Twenty years ago
there was no church and no Sunday
school. Today is this fine building
and nearly 900 in the Sunday school.
DR.. G. E. Forlines will preach in

REPUBLICANS IN
KENT CO. HAVE
FOUR CONTESTS
[COnfiaEed from First Pape]

Levy Court Commissioners, First
district, Edgar w. Frazier, Thomas
Jackson Snow. Second, William H.
Conrad. Third, Edward A. Smith.
AS to the candidates for Receiver
of Taxes and County Treasurer
which is a four-year term Office, the
contention of the Republicans is
that the present incumbent of that
office, Robert F. Thomas, who was
appointed by Governor Buck to sue
ceed George P. Scotten (Democrat), q,
who died a few months after assum-
ing his Office on January l, 1929, for
the unexpired term of Scotten, holds
over.
The State Constitution with ref

fees reads as follows:
'In case of vacancy in an elective
office, except as aforesaid, a person
shall be chosen to said Office for the
full term at the next general cleo
ton, unless the vacancy shall hap
pen within two months next before
such election, in which case the

recommendations as included in
the grow healthy chicks program
This QUESTIONABLE also consisted of
records with regard to the number
of baby chicks started, and the num-
ber of chicks lost during the first
% days.
The second QUESTIONABLE, which
was mailed only to those poultry
raisers who are cooperating in this
project by reporting their baby
chick mortality, was sent out from
the county extension Office on Sep
tember S, and to date several of
these poultrymen have returned
their reports to the county agent.
This questionable, however, was diff
ferent from the one which was
mailed on May %, in that the infor-
nation called for included the num-
ber of pullets which have been
reared from the baby chicks report
ed previously, and statement con-
cerning the condition of the birds
with special reference to whether
they have been affected with paraly-
sis or bronchitis at any time since
they were Matched. This information
will be correlated with that which
was secured from the first ques-
tionaire, and when the records have
been compiled for the entire year
it will be possible to determine the
extent to which this grow healthy
chicks campaign has been a factor
in assisting the poultry raisers of
the state in growing the type of
chicks which will develop into prof.
table layers.
The cooperation of all the poul-
trymen and hatcherymen in each of
the three counties is being solicited
in this program for better baby
chicks, for unless the right kinds
of chicks are obtained at the start
and proper management is given
them throughout the growing period
great losses are likely to occur in
the flOcks of pullets which are in
tended for layers and foundation
stock for producing Matching eggs

HOUSTONpS PAPER
TAKES FLING AT
BAYARD POLICIES
[COnfinued from First Page1

County, and undoubtedly if Marvel
had been nominated for Senator a
Sussex man would have been nOmi-
mated, but Bayard decreed otherwise
and the nomination went to Kent
County, and one of his faction was
selected.
I'm fact the result in Kent COun-
ty came as a surprise. Kent has al
ways been considered strongly dry
and the Democratic leadership in
that county particularly so. It was
said all along that Bayard would
have few delegates from that cOun-
ty, but at the primaries preceding
the convention he apparently Sc
cured a majority of delegates which
resulted in LeFevre's nomination. 1t
is said that DR.. Wharton would have
been the choice of Kent if Marvel
had controlled that county.
"The nomination for Treasurer
went to Kent also, while Sussex Sc
cured the nominations for Insur-
ance Commissioner and Auditor.
"The platform is short. About one
third of it is devoted to the wet and
dry issue, and is as strong a pro-
nouncement for the wet side as
Bayard could write it.
1.-The rest of the platform in the
light of recent developments in that
party is rather amusing than other
wise. We can imagine Raskob's
bland smile as the plank denouncing
special privileges ETC., was read and
also that plank in reference to large
expenditures in elections. Bayard
was certainly not praising. the
bridge which carried him over. In
fact the whole proceeding was sad
commentary on the history and rec
ord of the Democratic party for
sustained and virile manhood and
independence. The plank about the
peoples interest makes one laugh.
The rank and file of the Democratic
party of the State of Delaware had
about as much to do with nominat-
ing this latest Democratic ticket in
this State, as the Democrats of some
other State.
"Bayard and his friends simply
took over the situation and ran it to
suit themselves. There was no wide
spread demand among the Demo-
Gratis for his nomination, but he
took it and there did not seem to be
enough strength in the party to pre-
vent it,"
