DELAWARE FRUIT

eign demand for the various grades
than many other States that have
not provided this service to theil ap-
pie shippers. Up until this year, the
markets of Great Britain, particu-
larly, have been flooded with apples
that were immature and not of the
best quality, but this year Great
Britain has barred from their mar
kets apples of this kind, which not
only hurt the apple market in Great
Britain, but seriously injure the mar
ket for good fruit later on. This
ruling gives to Delaware growers and
shippers an opportunity that they
have not experienced heretofore.
The Delaware law which requires
that all closed packages of apples
shipped must be plainly marked in
accordance with the quality contain
ed therein has served to increase the
confidence of apple consumers in
fruit from this State. They can now
purchase a basket or barrel of ap-
pies with complete confidence, know
ing that the apples contained therein
will be in accordance with the quail
ity indicated on the top of the pack
age. This buyers confidence has
greatly increased not only in the
markets of the United States, but no
doubt has considerable bearing on
the demand from foreign countries.
The quality of the apples in Della
ware this year is the usual, very
good; however, due to the dry wealth
er the size of most varieties will not
be as large as usual. This condition
prevails not only in this State, but

AND YOUR
MONEY
The First Step To Safety
By John P. Mullen


When Mr. Average Man, seeking
to employ his surplus and gain an
income, steps beyond the savings ac-
count and life insurance into the
realm of securities, he faces several
major risks bred of financial mex
perience-the risk of picking un-
profitable securities, of falling into
the hands of takers, and of wasting
funds in unwise CANDLES and specu-
lation.
Not every security which bears
the label of a bond is a desirable in
yestment. There are bonds and
bonds-good, bad and Indifferent.
The same is true of stocks, as many
who set out to make a fortune in
the market know to their sorrow.
To employ capital safely and profit
ably in stocks and bonds requires
no little knowledge of principles
and values, deep and genuine infor-
nation, and the faculty of seeing
complete picture in seemingly un-
related facts and figures. The dan
ger facing the average man in evil
dent. How can he, untutored, pick
profitable investment securities?
Furthermore, the inexperience OF
the average man makes him a poten
tial victim of the security charlatan.
The bucket shops which make a pre-
tense at dealing in securities, the
criminal who peddles beautifully
engraved certificates and hot-alr,
and the willy promoter who takes
savings in exchange for hopes and
promises continue to ply their ne
farious trade, despite the efforts OF
legislators, newspapers, Blue SKY
officials and others. The toll they
take annually from the inexper-
fenced and the unsuspecting is esti-
mated at between $500,000,000 and
$1,000, 100000. Finally, in his quest
for securities giving the highest
Weld the novice is often led into
far-fetched speculations and out
and-out CANDLES. How can he draw
a line between the speculative and
the conservative?
Therein one ready answer. Ihe
individual who lacks experience IN
investing can avoid the highly spec
uiative, the worthless and the fraud
u1ent in securities by seeking out
honest, reliable and experienced ad-
vice before putting his money to
work. Let him go to his banker, his
employer, the editors of his news
paper, to known honest security
dealers in his community. Let him
take their advice in the matter OF
an investment dealer. A few in
uuiries will place several bond
houses or brokers at the top of the
list. These are the ones with
which to do business.

ARMY BAND TO PLAY
ATLONCWOOD In OCT.
rCnnlinned from FirN Paqel

TCOntinned from First Pdge]
ond leader and concert soloist and
regular soloist and bandsman OF
the organization, will be part of the
encourage. ,
The War Department granted
authority for the tour after thou
sands of requests had come in to it
from all parts of the country desir-
ing to see and hear the band in per-
son. The department also was mind
full of the inspirational and educa-
tional effect tour by the represen-
tative band of the United States
Army.
This year the tour has particular
Significance, coming as it does, on
the heels of the Bands triumphal
annearance at the IberO-Amer1can
Exposition in Seville, Spain and it's
equally sensational reception in
Madrid, Barcelona and other prin-
cipal cities of Spain.
The band has long been recog-
nized as the outstanding exponent
of Latin-Aemrican music in North
America and has been officially des-
ignated by the Pan-American Union
to introduce this music. Enthusiasm
for this relatively little-known but
rich field of musical literature has
never reached such heights as this
year. when the Spanish Worlds
Fair was in progress. With its eX-
ploitation by the U. S. Army Band
a demand has been created for 1t
which the Army Band with its long
and painstaking research and prac-
tice. alone is able to satisfy.
It was knowledge of this fact
which prompted first the War De-
partment and then Congress to Of
ficially sanction the European trip
the first ever to be made by a
United States service band.
The demand for the bands ser
vices on the forthcoming tour also
has a background in its phenomenal
career in Washington, D. c., where
it is stationed, and the music lovers
of this vicinity are fortunate in hav-
ing Longwood included on the Army
Bands itiniary. No doubt large
audiences will heart the concerts
and witness the electrical fountain
displa yon the spacious grounds of
Mr.. du Pont, who has made these
concerts possible.

HASTINGS SEES
DUPONT, BAYARD
UNABLE TO AGREE

[COnfiaEtd from First Pdge1
Senator's Letter
The text of the letter follows:
Wilmington, Delaware,
September 10, 1880
"Mr. Irenee DUPONT,
wilmington, Delaware,
"My dear Mr.. DUPONT: The Every
Evening under this date publishes
a letter which you have written to
Senator Bayard in which you state
that you have been Republican all
your life and that you are dismayed
because the Republican Party of
Delaware has disregarded the most
pressing question before the coun-
try, to wit: the prohibition question.
In your letter you congratulate SEN
ator Bayard on the courageous
stand he has taken on the prohibi-
ton question and express the belief
that he is the best man for Senator.
81 assume from your letter that
you as a Republican are in favor of
Mr.. Bayard, Democrat, solely up
on the ground of his courageous
stand on the prohibition question l
am wondering what you expect Mr..
Bayard, if elected to the Senate, will
be able to do for the cause that
you have so much at heart. If you
are as good a Republican as I be-
lieve you to be, and Mr.. Bayard is
as good a Democrat as l know him
to be, you will disagree on nearly
every other public question while
he is in the Senate.
"In the announcement which Mr..
Bayard made of his candidacy for
the Senate he emphasized two
things, to wit: First, the repeal of
the 18th Amendment, and second,
the repeal of the tariff law. AS to
the first, in the coming six years, he
will be absolutely helpless in the
Senate; as to the second, if he can
succeed in getting a Democrat Pres
ident and a Democrat Congress
elected, he will be sure to succeed.
"The Republican Party stands
now as it has in the past for tariff
that will protect the manufacturer,
the farmer, the labOrer. This is a
principle that 1 have been fighting
for all my political life, and one
which you as a Republican and bus
mess man have been fighting for al
so. 1 believe the present tariff law
will bring enjoyment to men who
are now out of work and will mean
continued prosperity to the country.
1 am proud of the part I was able
to take in framing it. For this work
have received commendation from
business people and working men
all over the State.
"My personal political fortunes
are not to be considered for mo-
ment, but am anxious, and I be-
lieve the Republicans of this State
are anxious that men should be
sent to Washington who will sup
port a Republican administration. |
believe they consider this the most
pressing question of the moment
81 am exceedingly sorry to lose
your support. To me it is personal
loss, but so far as my candidacy is
considered 1 approve of the Repub-
lican platform adopted at Dover
yesterday, and stand squarly upon
whatever issues the Democrats care
to make out of it.
With highest personal regards, l
am Sincerely yours,
D. o. HASTINGS"

CONFER
AT MILLSBORO
TContinucd from First Page1

Mrs. Hammond suggested that the
schools obtain their reference works
by local means and call upon their
State Library for recreational books.
Miss Edith l. Jones, high pressure
attendance officer for Eastern Sus-
sex, addressed the assemblage and
closed her remarks by presenting
the following maxims:
Abundant action achieves admir-
able attendance.
Take time to trail truants.
Tardy thrice, tell travelling teach
er.
Eagerly earnest efforts effect ele-
mentary education.
None need neglect necessary noti-
fication.
Duty demands departure of de-
linquency from Delaware.
Attendance accelerates academic
achievements.
Nurture new needs.
Children cherish the challenge of
character and citizenship.
Education is the brightest jewel
in the crown of citizenship. Our
public schools are a public pride and
private opportunity to enjoy the
brighter light of onkwledge.
Group meetings, addressed by spe-
cialists in primary work and art,
were held from eleven until twelve.
During the noon hour the teachers
were served an excellent luncheon
by students in Home Economics un-
der the direction of Prof Ollie T. At
kins, of the MillsbOro school.
The afternoon session opened
promptly at one D. m. with an inter-
esting address by DIR. H. V. Hollo-
way, who gave some of the highlights
of the recent N. e. A. convention. DR..
Holloway commented upon the ease
with which our schools are support
ed. He urged that teachers strive
to develop good citizenship through
precept and example. DR.. Holloway
asked the teachers to cultivate the
sense of responsibility among their
pupils and to strive for greater pu-
pil-participation in all worthwhile
projects and activities. Dr.. Hollo-
way drew attention to the opportun-
ity for paying tribute to Frances e.
Willard through suitable observance
of her birthday anniversary, Septem-
ber 28th.
Major Percy S. Prince, State Dl-
rector of Physical Education, ad-
dressed the assemblage concerning
health and physical development. He
called attention to the fact that
minor physical defects may often be
corrected by suitable calistenics, or
"setting-up" exercises. Major Prince
outlined the following objectives:
Teach and establish good health haD-
its. Establish sense of responsible
ity for self and others. Exercise
must be carried out Systematically
and accurately. Teachers personal
ity must radiate enthusiasm and en-
ergy. Develop the play leader idea
with the classes.
The last feature of the day was the
music hour. Teachers working in
one, two and three teacher schools
were addressed by DR.. Glenn Glider
sleeve, State Director of Musical Ed
ucation; the teachers of the graded
schools had the pleasure of meeting
Miss Helen Martin, assistant dlrec-
tor of music, who outlined briefly
the work she intends having put
across during this school year.
1t is anticipated that there will be
greater recognition of these special
subjects, Music, Art, Physical Edu-
cation and training in citizenship
this year and much is expected OF
teachers working with the corps OF
specialists now serving the long-telt
needs of these fine branches.

The girls, under the direction of Miss

1.-The group which we are taking to
Camp Vail this year." said Mr.. Cobb,
sis representative of the best in Del
aware All club work. They have not
been chosen because they were indi-
vidual stars, but becaues of their
demonstrated ability to do good All
club work, year in and year out, and
because of their desire and willing
ness to take part in group and COM
munity activities for the improve
ment of rural life. Several of them
have followed up their first All club
experience, by enrolling in high
school classes in vocational agricul-
ture or home economics, and have
greatly benefited by the organized
class work offered in these schools"

in many other apple producing sec
tions and consumers are generally
becoming acquainted with the condt-
ton and are accepting smaller fruit
than usual. This does not mean that
the fruit from Delaware is exception
ally small; however, it does mean
that most of the apples will prob
ably be graded about IA of an inch
smaller in diameter than in the past,
that is, such varieties as Romes,
Staymans and other late apples will
probably be graded 21-2 inches in
stead of 23-4 inches, or 23-4 inches
instead of inches.
According to a government report
which has just been released and
covers the estimates as of September
1, the crop in Delaware this year will
be somewhat larger than last year;
however, the total crop for the Unit
ed States is only 1-10 of 1 per cent
greater than last year. The figures
just released by the Bureau of Agri-
cultural Economics indicate that the
estimate for 1880 is AIS per cent. The
crop in 1929 was AT and the ten
year average is 57.9. 1t will be seen
from these figures that the crop this
year is slightly more than 10 per
cent under the ten-year average.
The prices that Delaware grow
ers have been receiving for apple
in domestic markets this year are
considerably lower than last year.
This condition has prevailed on most
of the agricultural commodities
throughout this year. 1t is hoped,
however, that conditions will i'm
prove soon and that better prices
will prevail in the home markets.

URGE DEL-MAR-VA
TRAIL TO SOUTH
IContinued from FirH Page1


The other agency is the Atlantic
Coastal Highways Association, which
is issuing attractive maps showing a
direct route from Maine to Cuba.
While this does not offer the Del
Mar-Va Trail exclusively it does
designate it and provide strip maps
of the Peninsula route in detail be-
tween Wilmington and Salisbury and
from Salisbury to Norfolk.
At Association headquarters it was
stated that this nationwide publicity
and directing tourists from the far
north to the south through the Pen
insula will unquestionably develop
an entirely new tourist traffic indus
try of inestimable value to Del-Mar-
Va. It will mean, according to AS
sociation officials, that the tourist
traffic will not be confined to sum-
mer months as a great portion of the
far north to south traffic carries on
through the fall and early winter
and opens up again during late win
ter and early spring.
The following statement was is
sued at the Association headquarters
this week:
while the Association has been
striving for four years to have the
Del-Mar-Va Trail featured as the
logical route between the far north
and south there has been serious
handicap because of the high rates
charged for ferrying automobiles be-
tween Cape Charles and Norfolk.
This matter, however, is in the hands
of the State Corporation Commits
sion of Virginia, following an under
standing that the Pennsylvania Rail
road Company would agree to GER
tain reductions which were accepted
nv a special committee several weeks
ago at a conference held at Ola
Point Comfort. Action by the Com
mission is expected any day and If
the reduction is approved this objec-
tionable feature to the Trail will be
removed to a decided degree.
"The Del-Mar-Va Association does
not claim entire credit for promoting
the highway systems of the PENN
sula to the point where it Will re-
ceive the recognition now assured,
for without the splendid type OF high
wavs provided by the State of Della
ware. Maryland and Virginia, this
never would have been accomplish
ed. and without the fine cooperation
extended by the State Highway De-
partments in supplying data and cor
rect information so that publicly
might be accurate as distributed by
the Association, progress would nave
been extremely difficult.
The association also points out
that a close check-up on tourist trat-
flee in the mountain and inland sec
tions such as the Shenandoah Valley
of virginia, Western Maryland, West
virginia, and Western North Caro-
lima this year during vacation
months has not exceeded so per cent
of last year. A check in Del-Mar-
Va on the ferries and highways rad
iating from the Pensula indicate
tourist traffic to coastal points will
RIM around 1O5 per cent of last
years volume. This, it is claimed,
is evidence that Del-Mar-Va high
wavs become so prominent that the
Dei-Mar-Va must be accorded full
recognition.
The Association plans a careful
check to ascertain traffic increases
as soon as the two plans to publlclze
it have opportunity to register re-
suits. It is believed the effect Will
he decidedly apparent before the end
of the present year.

SHOT FULL OF HOLES


A man who had been living life,
to put it mildly, that was a little ir-
regular, wanted to have his life in
sured, and applied to a friend of his,
who was an agent for big COM
pany, for policy. The agent sent
the company's doctor to examine
the applicant, and that was the last
he heard of it for time.
Meeting his friend on the street,
he said: "Say, George, now about
that life insurance policy. of mine?
Don't I get it?"
Well" said the agent, "you know
in our company it is the custom of
the doctor after he examines a man,
to take chart of the human body,
and he punches a hole in it wher-
ever he finds anything wrong"
"Oh, is that so, George? Did the
doctor do that in my case?"
"He sure did, and he took the
chart home and put it on his player
piano, and it played Nearer My God
to Thee'i"
