and a symbol Of the development Of
q thrilling plot. 1t is melodramattc
farce. George Cohan invented II.
The star of the show himself plays
the fool, while observing all the in
teresting things that are to be dis
covered in the characters about him.
Then he tells them all that he has
observed. He relieves the tension by
engaging in one of those round and
round and round dances and singing
q few lines about fixing things with
q smile" This mystif1es the COVER
nor's party at the tavern, and espe-
cially the person who is described
by Mr.. Co1an as "the governors
charming daughter" She responds
with the exclamation, isn't he the
uuaintest thingl" Such accom-
paniments of a grotesque story are
unique. George Cohan invented
them.
Surprising things happen at the
tavern. Each new character gives
turn to the plot. They all do unin-
telligent things, Mr.. Cohan's inter-
view with the governors daughter,
disclosing an impressive influence
over the feminine mind, Is the high
point of polite burlesque. The hired
man is a comic strip, and the as
sociate lunatic, an exotic young
woman, Is a most serious example of
the type that engages in screams OF
emotion and inspires screams of
laughter.
There is a plot, of course, but what
impressed the first-night audience
was George Conan, actor, playwright
and producer. There are several
things that the world loves, and one
of them Is q good actor who doesn't
care what happens. Another is a
good company that Is satisfied with
the play so long as 1t is well oiled
and moves merrily along. George
Cohan provided both. His welcome
was like the complete approval that
is in evidence on the last night OF
a popular stock company that will
not be back for another year. 1t

the world, and especially at its melo
drama. His associate players are

alleged.
He was elected from the hospital
and shortly after getting on the out
side started to throw stones and
Jumps of concrete at the building,
breaking out several panes of glass.
On August 20, last year, he was
arrested by Officer James Wood of
the State highway police on a
charge of being drunk and disorder
ly and using obscence language on
the streets of Lincoln. When ar
raigned before Magistrate Edward
V. HendriXsOn, 90-year-old justice OF
the peace, of Milford, he was fined
$40 and costs, and in default of pay
ment was committed to the Sussex
county Jail for 10 days. When Mag
istrate Hendrixson attempted to
reached into a drawer of his desk to
get a commitment to imprison him,
Fleming attacked him. The blow
aimed at Magistrate Hendrixson fell
short and did not injure him. His
glasses were knocked from his nose
and broken. Fleming was taken to
Georgetown to serve the 10 days
sentence imposed upon him, and at
the some time a charge of assault and
battery was placed against him by
Magistrate HendriXsOn.
Three days later Fleming scaled
the walls of the Sussex county jail
and when he reached the top of the
brick enclosure fell to the concrete
pavement on South Race street,
breaking both legs. He was taken
to the Beebe Hospital where he re-
manned for several weeks. When he
was on the road to recovery, even
before he was able to use his legs,
he attempted to get away from the
institution, and it became necessary
for Sheriff Bud Coy to bring him
back to the. prison in Georgetown.
His condition was such at the Oc-
tober term of court, last year, that he
could not stan dtrial, and the case
had to be postponed indefinitely.
However, on November 2, at regu-
lar session of plead guilty" court
he was taken before Resident Judge
Charles S. Richards, who committed
him to the New Castle County Work
house for six months on a charge of
assault and battery on Magistrate
HENDERSON, and in addition had al
ready served the 10 days sentence
imposed upon him by the magistrate |
whom he assaulted.

[C0ntinued from Fir5t Page]

Considerable work will be needed
after the concrete is laid including
the laying of the cutters and shoul-
ders all of which has been petitioned
for by the citizens living on both
sides of the street.
The two and four inch extension
on the sides of the 14-foot road in
Sussex county below Georgetown to
the Maryland line is being laid with
remarkable speed. This addition
was most needed in this part of the
State, due to the heavy traffic to
Bethany Beach and Ocean City, Md.
The contracts in New Castle coun-
ty are nearing completion, some hav-

Secretary Craig feels that with
the most favorable weather for road
building this year, that all the con-

time and that the State and side
highways which are under construc-
tion will be a great help in solving
the congested traffic problem.

University Tells Farmers
To Use Wheat For Feed
CContinned from First Pagel

Wheat is more satisfactory as a
feed for hogs than for any oLher
class of livestock. Hogs like wheat
and they may be fed all the wheat
they will eat without causing diges-
tive disturbances. A ration Of 18
pounds of whole or cracked wheat
and one pound of tankage will pro-
duce gains equal to ration of corn
and tankage. A wheat ration that is
giving satisfactory results in Il
swine feeding experiment at the
Delaware Agricultural Experiment
Station consists of pounds of
whole wheat and one pound of
cracked sOybeans.
Wheat may take the place of corn
meal in the dairy ration without Ge-
creasing milk production. Wheat fed
to dairy cattle should be rolled or
cracked rather than ground fine.
Wheat when ground fine forms a
pastry, unpalatable mass when mas
ticated by dairy cattle.
No stock owning Delaware farmer
can afford to sell 20 to 80 cent
wheat and feed 81 corn. Neither is it
economy to sell wheat at such low
price and buy all the feed used by
the livestock on the farm. Wheat
marketed through farm animals will
give a greater return per bushel
than can possibly be obtained at
present prices. Instructions as to
the best method of feeding wheat
can be obtained by any livestock
producer by writing to his Agricul-
tural County Agent, or writing to
the Department of Animal Industry.

FARMERS SHOULD
SOW SEED FOR
ALFALFA NOW
More Becoming Interest
ed In Alfalfa AS A Very
Desirable Hay Crop.

If weather conditions this summer
had been more favorable with nor
NAL amount of rainfall those farm
ers who had planned to SOW a few
acres of alfalfa this year would have
had their seed in the ground by this
time, but as the result of the severe
drought the alfalfa acreage in Kent
county and in many sections of the
United States will be materially re-
duced to the extent that many far
mers will face hay shortage dur
ing the next year.
The local showers in some sec
tions of the county and state, how
ever, will make it possible for those
farmers in these areas to seed their
alfalfa land, and in those sections
where the dry weather has been
most severe the farmers have been
preparing their fields with the hope
that a sufficient amount of rainfall
would come in time for them to SOW
their alfalfa during the latter part
of August, which is the recommend
ed time for seeding in this Part of
the country.
More farmers each year are be-
coming interested in alfalfa as a
very desirable hay crop for their
dairy cattle and other livestock, as
indicated by the surveys which have
been taken by the county agricul-
tural agents in this State each fall,
and this alfalfa campaign will be
continued until the acreage is suf-
fficient to meet the demand for this
kind of hay.
According to the records of seed
sales, as compiled by County Agent
Russell e. Wilson, the alfalfa acre
age in Kent county has been great
ly increased within the past three
years, as it has been estimated that
approximately 5000 acres have been
added to the county during this per-
iod. Information concerning the
necessity of lining the soil, the use
of northwestern-gro seed, the in
oculation of the seed, and fertiliza-
tiOn of the land has been given wide
spread publicity to the farmers by
means of circular letters and news
papers, and every effort has been
made to assist the farmers in Sc
curing satisfactory stands of alfalfa,
but drought conditions have been
adverse to the project this summer
with the result that many farmers
will not be able to seed the acreage
which they intended to SOW this
year.
Unless the land which is to be
seeded to alfalfa has been lined
within the past year or so, it is ad-
visable to apply about 1000 pounds
of hydrated lime to the acre, and
the seed should be sown at the rate
Of 20 pounds to the acre, although |
some farmers prefer using a few
pounds more on land that is in a
high state of fertility. incubation of
the seed is very essential when SOW
ing alfalfa for the first time, and the |
farmers are likewise cautioned in
regard to using only the northwes-
tern-grown seed which has proved |
to be the most suitable for this sec
lion of the United States.

PARENTS SHOULD DROUGHT AND
LOOK AFTER THE FIRES TAKE HUGE
CHILDREN'S TEETH TOLL OF WILDLIFE
Lack OF Water And The
Excessive Heat Killed
Many Babies Of Wilds.

Drought and forest fires have TAX
en- an enormous toll of wild life and
fish throughout the United States,
according to reports reaching the
American Game Protective Associ-
alton with national headquarters in
New York City. The depletion of
game and fish, it is believed, will be
felt for years.
Birds and beasts, fish and fowl
have suffered alike from both
causes. The large number of forest
fires destroyed countless number of
wild life. Ashes and burned timber
falling into lakes, streams and
swamps formed a deadly kind of lye
and poisoned fish life.
The drought lowered water levels
of streams and lakes, in many
cases drying the mup, leaving the
fish dead on the hard baked bottoms.
"The actual dropping of water
levels in lakes and rivers every
where has played havoc with other
fish tribes" Mr.. Radcliffe said.
Black Bass, an essentially warm
water fish, and many other species
died in water thought to be depriv-
ed by the excessive heat of its nor
NAL content of oxygen. Motor boats
were kept going in many lakes
throughout the country to keep the
water stirred up, thus creating more
oxygen. Their prOpellors were rig
ged half out of water so that the re-
volving blades thrust oxygen of the
air into the water. Millions of fish,
it is reported, could be seen gasp
ing for breath on the surface of
lakes. The warmer water, too, ad-
vanced the rapid growth of algae,
which requires a high content of
oxygen, thus taking an increased |
amount of oxygen from the water.
Although the dry nesting and |
brooding seasons of early spring |
and summer favored most wild life,
the continued drought is causing |
distress and death among many spe-
cies, it is reported. The lack Of wa
ter and the excessive heat killed |
many of the babies of the wilds.
These conditions obtained in near
ly every state in the union. 1t will |
be some time before state game COM
missioners, the United States Bur-
eau of Biological Survey, and the
United States Bureau of Fisheries
can determine an approximate toll
taken of wild life and fish. Indica-
tions are it is stupendous.

AND YOUR
MONEY
Investment and Speculation
BY John P. Mullen


Drawing a hard and fast line be-
tween investment and speculation Is
a distinction that even the most
skilled of financiers dislike to at
tempt. In the words of the dictiOn-
aTy to speculate is Ito make a pur-
chase that involves a risk of loss, but
also offers a chance of considerable
profit; to make an outlay in the hope
of profitable gain"
The best distinction between an
investment and a speculation seems
to rest with the difference in pur-
pose The speculator buys princi-
pally to realize prOfifit from a
change in price. The true investor,
on the other hand, buys chiefly to
gain an income on his principal. If
he does anticipate a profit from n
rise in price, that consideration is
always secondary.
Since his first purpose is to gain
regular and stable income, the in
vestor must concern himself with
the factors which determine the
safety and permanency of his invest
ment. He buys, therefore, where in
vestigation shows consistent earning
power, stable property values, and
sound, intelligent management.
Where values remain fairly constant,
as in an investment, the speculator
has little or no opportunity for
speculative gain. The speculator,
then, is always consciously assuming
risks, and his effort is to examine
a speculation and determine his
chances. The speculatOr is in no
sense a gambler; he is very often
a very constructive force. Farming,
merchandising, and almost all legiti-
mate industry are speculative in
character, for each carries risks and
practically no one can foretell to
what degree they may be profitable
this year or next.
True interest may be said to sup
ply an excellent starting point for
measuring investment characters
tics. United States Government
bonds are the safest investment in
the world, and their yield of little
more than three per cent closely
approximates true interest. The per-
son who buys a United States Gov
ernment bond simply rents his
money, practically without risk, and,
therefore, receives no compensation,
or very negligible compensation, for
risk. A bond with a higher yield,
however, may carry with it some
very slight degree of risk, so that,
in addition, something more than
true interest must be added to com
pensate for risk. This risk may not
exist in a practical sense, but III
principle it is always present in
some degree, large or small, in every
investment and in every form OF in
Yesting.
In general, when an individual in
vests he is playing on the safe side.
He is not looking for large or quick
returns on his money. Although he
must accept risk in some degree,
since no investment is absolutely
safe, he does not measure that risk
in terms of speculative profit. His
whole effort is or should be to mini
miZe risk, since the more assurance
he has that his income will remain
regular and that his principal will
remain intact, the nearer he comes
to making a true and logical in
Vestment.
