which permits passage over land and
water indiscriminately and if our
communities are farsighted, they
may well take leading place in the
promotion of aeronautical activities
and especially in making provision
for the reception of aircraft on the
ground"
During the past year several of
the leading officers in Army and
NAVY Aeronautics have either visited
the Del-Mar-Va Peninsula direct in
airships or have made inquiry as
to conditions here. 1t is understood
that serious consideration has been
given toward establishing an Army
Reserve Base at the Del-Mar-Va Air
port, at Hebron, because of unlimited
acres of practically open and very
level ground.
The Bellanca, or Wilmington City
field. has also attracted wide atten-
ton and it was at these two points
that the Goodyear dirigible, the Vigi-
liant, made landings when they Wis
tied the Peninsula during the past
autumn. AS evidence of the impress
sion made upon the Goodyear repre-
sentatives, the following excerpts
are offered from a letter from Mr..
Clyde E. Schetter, of the Goodyear
firm to the manager of the Del-Mar-
Va Airport, at Hebron:
GAS Goodyear representative IN
charge of operations for the airsh1p
Vigilant, 1 have visited numerous
airports in various Eastern States
but at no time have seen such an
institutional affair as you maintain.
.. In fact, your port meets with my
conception of an airport and IS
worthy of a much better name than
a landing field. Our unanimous
opinion was that the Del-Mar-Va
Airport is the last word in airports." "
Mr.. Totten calls attention to the
Literary Digest article being based
on the operations of the Goodyear
Zeppelin Corporation, at Akron,
Ohio, and that they are building for
the Government. 1t is because OF
this and the fact that numerous Gov
ernment officials have expressed
such high approval of the Peninsula
that the reference to locating the
Atlantic Coast Station in Del-Mar-
Va is believed to be most signiti-
cant statement.

Oak Orchard

Although midwinter interest in our
little resort has not waned, visitors
are coming and going all the time,
owing to the very mild weather. The
cottage owners, also neighborlng
farmers, who supply the needs of our
MANY summer visitors, are looking
around, clearing up, getting ready
in general for an early start. WORK
on the inlet still goes on when the
weather permits, and the great IN
terest taken in its success by Gov
Buck, as we'll as the rest Of the COM
mission, is much appreciated, not
only by those residing on the river
and bay, who derive a great portion
of their livelihood from those waters
but by the residents of Millsboroi

the shores.
The very serious fire which de-
stroyed the Morris Cottage and SO
badly burned the Nolan Cottage
should be a very serious reminder to
everyone to be careful when leaving

Not much sickness here. Mrs
Ethel Berg, who has been suffering
from an attack of quinsy, is much
improved.
The Ewings from Philadelphia
were at their cottage over the week
end.
Mr.. and Mrs. Spears paid us a
hurried visit.
Ducks are very plentiful. At times
the water seems black with them. On

KENT COUNTY FARMERS
PLANT SWEET CLOVER

has been grown under favorable
weather conditions.
That more farmers each year are
becoming interested in sweet clover
is shown by the surveys which have
been conducted by County Agent
Russell E. Wilson in Kent county
during the past two years to deter
mine the amount of seed distributed
and the total acreage seeded for both
pasture and cover crop purposes. BY
means of personal contact with the
various seed dealers and distributing
agencies it was learned that 376
bushels of sweet clover seed were
sold in 1928, and 800 bushels in 1929.
These amounts of seed were suffl-
cient to plant 1928 acres in 1928, and
ITO acres in 1929, making total OF
approximately 2300 acres Of this crop
which have been added to Kent
county within the past two years as
the result of the campaign efforts.
No comparisons can be made with
the 1927 acreage, however, as no sur
vey records are available for that
wear. but no doubt several hundred
acres Of this clover were sown
throughout the county and state.
In connection with this project for
the coming year it would be interest
ing to learn what per cent Of the to-
ta1 sweet clover acreage is being
used for pasture, and the acreage
that is being sown to cover crops in
orchards. This clover may be sown
anv time during the early spring in
this section Of the country.

Milford, Del, Jan. IA, 1880.
Editor Milford Chronicle,
Milford, Delaware.
Dear SIR
Knowing your interest in and
knowledge of town affairs it occur
red to me that you might wish to call
the attention of your readers to the
advisability of taking an active in
terest in town government. There
is really nothing complicated about
it. So far as each citizen is con-
cerned it is a matter of extreme sim
plicity. Everything that is done in
this town, every dollar that is ex-
pended, is an act of each citizen done
through their representatives. And
each citizen should feel individually
responsible.
There has been much talk in ref
erence to improvements and borrow
ing money to pay for them. There
are those who are opposed to certain
improvements. There are others
who are for them. There are some
who would have no improvements
unless they are paid for out of cur
rent funds or can be paid for imme-
diately by an increased tax. There
are others who believe they should
be paid for over a term of years.
In a town such as Milford where
all taxes levied are a direct tax,
every improvement made is paid for,
in part, directly by every citizen re-
gardIess of whether the entire pay
ment is made at once or whether it
is spread over a term of years. 1t is
merely a question of whether or not
the citizens want the improvements
and in what manner they desire to
pay for them.
Looking at it from the point of
view of the individual citizen, if the
improvements contemplated will cost
about $4,000, net, after making due
allowance for deduction of poll
taxes; and if such citizen owns prop
erty assessed at $4,000, out of total

Judge Jansonius Rules in Suit
OF Minot Citizens for Of.
ficers' Removal

Minot. N. D., Aug. 22.-(P-Dis-
missal of a suit seeking to compel the
calling Of a recall election against
four Minot city commissioners was
ordered Thursday by District Judge
Fred J%ansonius of Bismarck.
In denying a pre-emptory writ of
mandamus to three petitioners,
Thomas E. Dunn, John F. McGrann
and George E. Campbell, the court
held that they had not shown they
were entitled to the relief demanded.
The trio of petitioners had sought a
writ which would command City Au-
ditor G.. S. Reishus to certify there
were sufficient legal signatures on Pc
titions asking for the recall of Pres
ident A. F. H. Bratsberg and Commits
sioners v. A. Corbett, E.. j. Thomas
and A. H. Kurth. Judge Jansonius
said he found that the petitioners
through testimony had accounted for
only 127 voters in addition to the
registered voters certified by the audi
tor. which was insufficient to invoke
a recall. The court ruled that it was
necessary to show by competent evil
dence that $40 person in addition to
those certified by the auditor were
legal qualified electors, leaving the
petitions 113 short.
The court, in his memorandum
opinion, remarked that the auditor
could have extended more courtesy
and cooperation to the petitioners
than he did.
Mr.. Dunn, as chairman Of the recall
committee. said today that an appeal
will be taken to the supreme court
from Judge JansoniuS' decision.

Signs on Highways in
Dickinson District to
Come Down in 10 Days

Dickinson, N. D., Aug. 22.-Signs on
the right of way of state highways in
this district must go in the next 10
days, according to the edict issued By
division headquarters of the high
way department here.
According to the local officers OF
the highway department., the law
passed in 1925 prohibiting any excep-
ting township and municipal signs on
the right of ways of state maintained
highways has not been strictly en-
forced and a check-up Is to be made
at once. Engineer G. A. Haskins al
ready has performed this check-up on
part of federal highway No. 10 and
marked the signs which will be re-
moved by the maintenance men in
side Of two weeks unless the owners
themselves perform the lawful duty.
The law, Mr.. Haskins says, include
all signs whether independent or on
telephone posts, trees, fence posts or
hung on fences and the right of way
Of most Of the highways is 66 feet,
some 80 feet. It Is not the depart
ment's intention, he says, to destroy
valuable signs but the division office
has been notified that the law must
be more strictly enforced.

Hay Fever Closes
Hay Fever Court

Chicago, Aug. 22.-(ReThe hay fe-
yer court has been closed by hay fe-
YER, and even before it started.
It seemed a good idea to put Judge
Edgar A. Jonas, a hay fever sufferer,
IN charge Of the court to hear COM
plants against owners of lots on
which the hay fever-producing rag
weed was allowed to grow. Knowing
from his own experience how the
neighbors must suffer, Judge Jonas
would be sure to make the offenders
get rid of their weeds, it was reasoned.
He probably would have been pretty
severe. but when the first defendants
arrived yesterday he wasn't there. In
stead there was a notice which said:
Having succumbed to hay fever,
Judge Jonas has gone away for q va
cation"

Road Between Med0ra
And Sentinel Butte
Damaged by 3.8 Rain

Dickinson, N. D., Aug. &C. A.
Haskins, Of the local highway division
offices here. asserts that he has never
seen rain Of its dimensions raise such
havoc with highways as the 3.8 inches
from Friday to Sunday night did on
that strip between Medora and SEN
tinel Butte. He blames this largely to
the fact that traffk was unusually
heavy during the rainfall. Great
ruts were cut through the road, even
in scoria and gravel, and maintenance
crews with teams and trucks worked
all Sunday afternoon and Monday
pulling cars out of holes. At one place
as many as rs cars were stuck ct one
time.
The road there now is passable but
rough. Mr.. Haskins says. Coming
back Tuesday afternoon, he counted
300 foreign cars between Sentinel
Butte and Medora, the traffic being
more congested than usual because of
being damned back by the highway
conditions there Sunday and Monday.

Good in Northwest

wheat in the northwest is virtually
completed with a crop "of about e
age size" and with the highest pro-

what below average in test weight,
based on reports today from various
sources.
The reports, it said, refuted claims
OF large losses in small grains in Min
