LEAGUE DEBATES
 ARE IN PROSPECT
Several Political Questions Due
 to Come Up

Geneva. July 16 CF,-several po- litical questions ripe for hot debate will be preached when the "hnan- cial assistance" scheme for discour- aging war comes before the assem- ply Of the League of Nations in Sep. tember.
 The draft convention which the assembly will consider provides that in the event of war or in the likell- hood of an international rupture, an attacked member of the league Ghal be given prompt financial aid in or der to restore or preserve peace. This assistance would be in the form of loans guaranteed by other states, parties to the agreement. and would be awarded by vote Of the league council.
 The first disagreement on this plan may arise on the question Of whether the treaty shall be applied when war is threatened, or only af- ter war is threatened, or only after armed conflict has begun.
 The majority of members of the league commission which prepared the draft convention favored the awarding of assistance when hos;ili- ties seemed imminent. But Germany Canada, Italy and Japan believed that the council should not author ze a loan until war had actually broken out. This minority group has advanced the following provision:
 If in crisis the council consid- CTS that there is a danger of war, t may notify the parties to the dis pute that financial assistance will be granted to the state against which one of the parties to the dispute goes to war. At the same time, the council will take all preparatory measures in order that financial s. sistance may be promptly accorded directly war breaks out"
 Another question which must be settled is whether the council tr case of war must" award .he fnan- cia1 support. or not only may" do so Some states favor leaving dis cretionary powers 10 the council, while others desire that the award shall be compulsory.
 Great Britain is leader Of a group which proposes that the financial aid shall not come until q general disarmament treaty has become a reality. Other states wants the con vention effective without waiting for disarmament,
 Other difficult questions arising out of this project include the pug gle of determining which is the az sressor and which the aggrieved state. Should the aggrieved state be required to guarantee to execute the councils pacifying recom- mendations before it is eligible 10 receive the financial award and should the award be made by unanimous or majority vote of the council are further problems.
 Supporters of the scheme main tain that the greatest value in the convention would be its tendency 10 prevent war, rather than in its efficacy for remedying the ills of an attacked country.
 The financial assistance treaty was originally advanced by repre- sentatives Of Finland, which state, according 10 informed persons, looks with some concern toward it's huge neighbor, Soviet Russia.

The wheat crop of Delaware has

lier than usual. The crop in itself is
a very good one. Oats are also

There are comparatively few white

The sweet potato crop is heavy and
is practically as large as last year.
The blackberry crop and the huck-

TWO LOCAL MEN
HAVE RECORD FOR
SAVING OF WHEAT
B. F. Potter And Robert
H. DickersOn Threshed
Wheat For SO Years.

B. F. Potter, now a resident of
Milford, and Robert H. DickersOn, of
Cedar Neck, have established a rec
ord which is unique and probably
has never been equaled in Delaware.
These two men have aided in thresh-
ing the wheat grown on the B. E.
Potter mansion farm in Cedar Neck
for SO years. During this time Mr..
Dickerson has never missed a wheat
threshing on the place.
While neither man is rated as an
exceptionally old man, they have
seen thousands of bushels of wheat
saved and sold from the farm. Mr..
Dickerson will be "a years Of age
next November, while Mr.. Potter
will celebrate his Goth birthday in
September. The men have seen
methods of wheat harvesting change
very materially during their life
time. Both are hale and hearty and
expect to aid in several more har-
vestings before they are incapaci-
tated by the infrmities of old age.

CONVICTED NEGRO,
TO HANG TODAY
Court Of Oyer And Term
iner Refused New Trial
Last Friday.
[COntinHed from First Pa0rl

The gallows were erected this
week and all arrangements for the
hanging have been made by Warden
Leach 1t will be the second hang
ing of the year, the last one having
been that of Louis GalvanO, on
March %, for murder. Because of
the lack of facilities in Kent county,
where the attack took place, it was
decided to hold the execution at the
New Castle County Workhouse.
AS no persons outside of members
of the condemned mans family are
allowed to visit him, the only visit
ors he has had are his lawyers and
the Rev. Mr.. Holland. His parents
have visited him but twice while he
has been in prison owing to the fact
that they live so far away and be-
cause of the cost of making the trip.
According to the law, the eXecu-
tiOn may take place any time be-
tween the hours of 10 o'clock in the
morning and 8 o'clock in the after
noon, but it is thought that it will
take place shortly after 10 o'clock.

economic exhibit, the machinery ex-
hibit, the All Club exhibit and the
swine show and many other exhibits
will be featured this year on scale
never before attempted.
Much interest is always shown in
the racing cards at Harrington.
Many racing records have been
broken and those who know horses
say that this years race3 will not
suffer by comparison with those of
former years. Pony races attract
much interest, and mule races offer
many thrills for the amused audi
ences. The vaudeville and hippro-
drome attractions this year will eX-
eel those of previous fairs, while
Bassille's popular Madison Square
Band, familiar to those who have
been fair-goers, will be back again
to entertain.
AS always, women and children
first-but this time children only,
will be admitted on Tuesday, the
opening day, free of any charge
that is children under sixteen years
of age. On this day the grandstand is
free of charge to everyone.
Wednesday attracts them from all
over the peninsula. Many who have
not seen a race since the spring
meet at Havre de Grace are plan
ming to see the racing epic of the
Eastern Shore, and many of the best
horses in this section of the country
will be entered.
Thursday is Governors Day, and
Governor Buck and his staff will be
the guests of the fair officials. This
is the day when politicians, great
and small, gather to shake the hands
of the timid voter, fiatter him, praise
his family when perhaps he does not
even have one, open vistas in glOr-
ious future which will never mature,
and finally end by begging his vote.
Four big racing events will feature
the day as we'll as a cattle parade.
Friday will bring more horse races
and the mule race, when negroes
will ride the stubborn animals hop
ing to stick long enough to get the
huge luscious watermelon that lies
just ahead, as well as a bit of use
full money. The watermelon is sur
rounded by a crown of yams and
there may be baby 'possum.
Saturday, crowds will gather for
one last holiday, to see the speed
kings race their automobiles around
the Harrington bowl. Seven sensa-
tional speed events with some of the
fastest drivers in America will fur
nish the final and lasting thrill of
the 1880 Harrington Kent and Sus-
sex Fair.
There have always been crowds
and this year it is expected there
will be mobs.

Washington cafe, his father had him
placed under surveillance. He soon
became i'll and was at once taken
home. After an astonishingly swift
recovery, he was off again, next be-
ing seen in an AL Reeves burlesGue
show.
Vaudeville experience followed
himself, his brother, and a mutual
friend appearing in sketch under
the name of Jolson, Palmer and Jol-

the idea of using burnt-cOrk was sug-
gested by negro dresser, his black
face work bringing him instant and
