about 1900 being benefited. He is
paying the pensions from his per-
sonal funds. In view of the study
made by Mr. du Pont, the accept
ance by him to head the commission
will be greeted with much favor by
those who have been interested in
the old age pension plan.
Under the old age pension plan OF
Mr.. du Pont, thousands of dollars
have been given to aged Delawar-
cans. For some time it was not
known who was providing the funds
for the old age pension plan, but
Mr.. du Pont finally consented to
permit having his name made pub
lie.
In view of the vast amount OF
study already made of this problem
by Mr.. du Pont, his selection is re-
garded as the logical one. Governor
Buck has held a number of confer
ences with Mr.. du Pont, in regard
to the old age pension plan.
In addition to making recommen-
dations to the Legislature, it is
more than likely that this body will
also submit a bill for consideration
by the General Assembly.

HOGS AND SOYBEANS

Feed soybeans wisely to fattening
hogs, says the U. S. Department OF
Agriculture. Twenty-Five per cent
or more of soybeans fed with corn to
fattening hogs will produce soft
pork, and even considerably smaller
proportions may cause lack of firm
ness. Recent tests by the Depart
ment of Agriculture and co-operat-
ing state experiment stations show
ed that one part of soybeans fed
with as much as 12 parts of corn Tor
~ per cent of soybeans in corn
soybean ration supplemented by min
erals) fed to fattening hogs tended
to produce soft carcasses. This was
when the initial weights of the pigs
were 100 pounds or less and the
daily gain did not exceed one pound.
Initial weight and rate of gain, as
we'll as feed, influences the soft
ness of the pork. When the pigs
weighed more than 100 pounds, at the
beginning and gained 1.S pounds or
more day on this ration, most OF
the carcasses were firm. This sug-
gests the use of the heavier and more
thrifty pigs when this ration is to be
fed on the farm.

CHRISTIAN ENDEAvOR RALLY
AND ORATORICAL CONTEST

On Friday evening, September 26,
the fall rally of the County Christian
Endeavor Union will be held in
Lewes Methodist Protestant church.
The most attractive feature of this
rally will be an oratOrical contest
between representatives of the diff
ferent societies of the county. This
contest will be an elimination con-
test preparatory to the state contest
which will be held at the State C. E..
Convention which will be held in
First M. P. church of Milford, Oc-
tober 23rd, gath, 25th and 26th. Such
elimination contests are being held
in each of the counties of the state
The winner of the county contest be-
comes a contestant in the state con-
test.
The representative of the Milford
M. P. Christian EndeavOrs is Clar-
ence Welsh. Clarence made a fine
record in the Milford high school
and his fellow Endeavorers are fully
expecting him to bring home the
laurels from Lewes and then keep
them in Milford at the state cOnven-
ton.
Every Endeavorer and every
school mate of Clarence's should be
present to boost him to victory both
at Lewes and at Milford.
Don't forget the date and the place,
September 26th at Lewes M. P.
church.

DEMOCRATIC PLATFORM

toll on the farms and in the fac
tories are entitled to a voice in the
nations councils as well as corpor-
ations and sO-called big business.
Senators who seek to buy favor with
gifts and stand for prOfteering busi-
ness, a robber tariff and all the
other things that have signalized the
present Congress do not represent
Delaware or the best interests of
her plain sturdy people.
Economies
"The Democratic Party pledges it
self, if given the power, to admins
ter the various departments of the
State government, placed under its
control in a businesslike and econO-
mical manner, and to use its intiu-
ence towards the elimination of ex-
travagance, and waste, which is pre-
valent, and the collection of excess
sive revenues by taxation both di-
rect and indirect.
Reform
I'VE, the Democratic party, con-
denim the multiplication of offices in
the nation, state and county, which
has become so prevalent under Re
publican domination, and pledges
itself to such a reform of administra-
ton as will tend to alleviate the dis
tress prevalent throughout the cOun
try, due to lack of employment, high
taxation, the great increase in the
number of office holders who consti-
tute an organization for the perpet-
uation of the Republican Party in
power throughout the nation"
Prohibition
'Ten years of dearly bought e&-
perience has amply proved to every
calm thinking person in this coun-
try that the 18th amendment and
the Volstead laws do not and cannot
accomplish their expressed intent
and purpose. They have utterly fail
there has come into existence,
hand there has come into existence,
solely by reason of the 18th amend
ment and the Volstead laws, an at
tack upon our social, civic and legal
life which bids fair to undermine
the stability of our form of govern
ment.
mo one class of our people is i'm
mune from this assault; it includes
all classes and all ages, with par
ticularly vicious attack upon the
very young of both sexes. At vast
cost to the taxpayer, nearly every
branch of the government has been
enlisted in the enforcement of these
laws, but conditions continue to
grow worse and not better. The ex-
pertinent of the states surrendering
their police powers to the Federal
Government on the subject of sump-
tuary laws, has proved to be a grave
mistake and one laden with only
evil consequences tosthe country and
all it's citizens. This is a condition
and not a theory that confrOnts us.
We advocate the repeal of the 18th
Amendment and the return to the
several States of the powers surran-
dered Hereunder; believing that the
true solution of the problem can and
will be worked out by the States
themselves. We are absolutely op-
posed to the return of the Saloon in
any form. We favor the repeal in
Delaware of the Klair Law in order
that physicians may prescribe Ii
quor for their patients in their care
and that such prescriptions may be
legally filed"

man James NJ. Tunnel, of George
town.
This met with resentment from
both sides, but when Mr.. Curley
forced the issue, a vote by ballot
was demanded AS the ballots were
being gathered, calls from the floor
such as you're killing the Demo-
cratic party" were coming from
both sides and Mr.. Tunnel stepped
to the front of the platform and
withdrew his name and Mr.. Marvel
was elected by acclamatiOn.
There was no contest for State
Treasurer, State Auditor or Insur-
ance Commissioner. H. w. Hilyard,
of Kenton, Kent county, was chosen
as the nominee for State Treasurer,
after Roy E. Pettyjohn, of Milford,
withdrew his name following the
Kent and Sussex county caucuses,
which favored Mr.. Hilyard as the
nominee.
B. Guy Wheatley, of Sussex coun-
ty, who was nominated for State
Auditor, was unOpposed as was also
Samuel J. Furniss, of Sussex county
the nominee for Insurance Commits
sioner. Both were nominated by the
Kent and Sussex ca1cuses. The
New Castle county caucus did not
nominate any one for either State
Treasurer, State Auditor or Insur-
ance Commissioner, as they believed
the nominees should come from the
lower two counties. Theyq took the
same stand relative to the Congress
siOnal selection.

CONTEMPORARY PHILOSOPHER

Who is the leading philosopher of
the nation? OF course there may be
some difference of opinion on this
question, but the scholarly Senator
Cutting speaking On censorship in
the Senate ascribed that homer i'll a
matter of fact way to John Dewey.
John Dewey, 20 years old, retired
from his professorship of philosophy
at Columbia University at the end OF
the past academic year-a post he
filled for rs years. But he has been
discussing, teaching and writing
about philosophy since 1884, when
he got his doctors degree from
Johns Hopkins University.
Dewey's first important work was
along the lines of pedagogy, or the
science of teaching, and he first be-
came a national figure when as di-
rector of the School of Education at
the University of Chicago he estab-
lished an experimental school to
carry out his ideas. These ideas were
revolutionary, since they signalized
the departure from the old cut-and-
dried cultural" curriculum of the
past and the beginning of democrat
ic and occupational instruction
connecting school work with the VI
tai, practical things of modern life.

CUT FARM FUEL WOOD TO
IMPROVE TIMBER CROP

The farmer who can cut his win
ter fuel wood from his own farm
woodland is lucky, says the Forest
Service, United States Department of
Agriculture. He can get his fuel at
low cost and at the same time be
improving his woodland for timber
production.
Farm fuel wood is an important
farm crop. About 36,000,000 cords
are cut on farms yearly. In one year,
during the war, only five other crops
exceeded it in value, namely, corn,
wheat, oats, hay, and cotton.
The cutting of farm fuel wood can
be made a means of getting better
and faster growth of the most val
liable trees in the woodland at the
same time that the winters fuel sup
ply is being laid in. This is what
foresters call improvement cutting"
Wood should be cut the Forest SerV-
ice says, with an eye to continuous
production on the land. The aim is
to keep the land producing, at the
fastest rate, timber of the best quail
ity. The trees to cut for fuel wood
are not the trees that will make the
fastest growth or produce the best
timber, or bring the highest returns
on the market. The straight, sound,
thrifty trees should be left for de-
veloping high-grade and high-priced
forest products.
The kinds of trees to use for fuel
wood are sound wood lying on the
ground; deal trees which are sound
and still standing; trees rotted, dis
eased, or injured by insects so they
will probably die; crooked trees
crowding out the straight ones;
large old trees unsuitable for lumber
because of their big limbs and
branched and short trunks; and trees
that shade out numerous smaller
ones; small trees overtopped by
larger and better ones; and trees
badly fire SCARED at the butt.
In many sections where cordwood
was plentiful 10 years ago it is now
relatively scarce, and demand and
prices are correspondingly high. The
sale of cordwood, says the Forest
Service, frequently brings substan-
tial profit for the farm on an opera
ton that is at the same time i'm
proving the value of the farm woods.

AIR STAMPS BRING BIG MONEY

Lindbergh, Chamberlin, Byrd, Eek
ner, and every other flier who has
crossed an ocean with a pocketful
or a mailbag full of letters and post
cards has helped the United States
Postoffice Department sell" the air
mail service to the American public.
A proud possessor of one of the
few stamped enveloped carried to
Germany on the spectacular flight
of Chamberlin-Levine is A. G. ROess-
ler of East Orange, N. j., who is said
to value his souvenir at more than
$500.
Chamberlin carried in coat pock-
ct a number of stamped envelopes
that had been run through the Gar
den City, Long Island, postoffice for
re-mailing in Germany, but postal
authorities in that country would
accept only those which contained
letters, and of these there were less
than a dozen. They were addressed
to friends of the fiiers.
Collectors just now are turning
their attention to the cOmmemOra-
tive postcards which will be carried
to Europe aboard the "Trade Wind, "
a seaplane which is to be first to at
tempt transportation of a CONNER
cial cargo between the hemispheres.
The Trade Wind" with Lieutenant
William S. MacLaren, pilot, and
Beryl Hart, cO-pilot, will take off
from New York's battery early in
October on a rOund-trip flight to
Paris by way of Bermuda and the
Azores.
Hundreds of persons, in nearly
every State in the Union, are asking
permission of the "Trade Winds
Flight Committee at the Washington
National Bank, New York City, to
send postcards. So great has the
demand become that the committee
has had special pictorial postcards
made, bearing pictures of the pilots
the TRADE Wind" and the route to
be flown.
Meanwhile, collectors quote Ad-
miral Byrd's. Partisan flight postage
stamps as being worth more than
$3.50 each. 1t will be remembered
that Byrd got lost in a fog after he

BEAUTIFUL VARIETIES
OF DAHLIAS

In riding around Milford, one
should make an effort to see the
beautiful dahlias which Mrs. N. B.
Downing has blooming in her yard
on South Walnut street. Mrs. Down.
ing has made a practice of raising
choice dahlias for many years, but
this year the colors seem brighter
and the blooms more perfect in size
and number. Mrs. Downing was
kind enough to bring several of her
choice blooms to the Chronicle Of
flee this week, which beautified the
desks for several days. Among
them were the following varieties;
Fort Washington, Gov. Trumbull,
Pocahontas, Casper G. Ware, Samo-

FARMERS GET BETTER PRICES

Farmers could get better prices
for their cowpeas if the peas were
recleaned after thrashing or hull
ing, the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture believes. Practically all the
foreign matter and lightweight and
broken seed which are often found
in cowpeas at the market could be
removed on the farm by running
them through a small cleaning ma
chine. If such a machine is not
available, run the cowpeas through
the huller a second time. Screen
ings from cowpeas will serve as feed
for livestock
