CLARKSVILLE

Vacations and politics seem to be
uppermost in the minds of the peo-
pie. Strange sounds echo from poll
tical corners at Bethany Beach as
the veterans of many political bat
ties gather each evening to discuss
the possibilities and qualifications Of
certain Republicans and Democrats
that have been mentioned as possi-
bilities, but may not have been con
sidered by the leaders of their re-
spective parties. But what difference
does it make as the boys get good
kick out of the game, and when the
election winds blow over the politi-
cal plum tree, who can say, who will
be the lucky one, that will eat of the
luscious fruit that will fall into the
cap of political hope.
John Harmon has sold his potato
crop.
City folks are coming thicker and
faster but we enjoy having them
with us, during the vacation season.
The prices of chickens are low, give
them plenty, they will enjoy them.
On last Sunday our pastor, Rev. o.
H. Connolly preached on the subject
of Am l My Brothers Keeper"
Text Kings, 20:40. 1t was practical
and heart searching.
On next Sunday the service will be
different. Old time hymns will be
woven into the service as Rev. Con-
nelly relates how the hymns came to
be written. If you enjoy good sing
ing, come and have a part in this
special service of conservation at the
st. Georges M. E. Church.
Automobile accidents are numer-
Gus. On last Sunday two Ford cars
collided with slight damage and for
no one was hurt. Between
our village and Millville many mo-
torists use this road as race track.
State police would do we'll to tarry
a bit here on Saturdays and Sundays
as there are many violations, that
sooner or later may result in SER
ious accidents.
Huckleberries are scarce with a
good price to the local pickers.
Sugar corn is making its appear
ance on the table.
Charles Hudson, a driver of the
school bus for the past three years,
has many friends that desire he be
continued for another term, as he
has been a careful driver, paying
special attention to the safety Of the

INCREASE SHOWN
AT FARNHURST
[COntinurd from First Pagel


the fiscal year just passed, DR.. Tar
umianz reports the following:
Comparing the sum received from
the board of pay patients IN 1929 and
1880 we find that we received $19,-
I'll more in 1880. From other sour
ces we received 1852 more than last
year. The grand total of receipts for
this year is $58,4O2.S7 as compared
with $38, ,339.19 of last year.
"You will find that we spent ST.
| S447O more than was appropriated
for the division salaries and wages,
but S5,O5G less than was calculated
on in our budget. This OvereXpendi-
ture is due to the immense increase
in the population, and we were for
ced to employ additional help.
Next we find that we spent $212-
"a more than was appropriated for
the division Office. This was due to
the enormous additional printing
and telephones"
Other expenditures were listed in
the report as follows:
Division travel, $1,31355 less than
was appropriated; division operation
S1,O75.71 less than was appropriat-
ed; division repairs and replace
ments, $3,781.03 less than was ap-
propriated; division equipment, 49,
781.03 less than was appropriated;
permanent improvements, $1,164.36
more than was appropriated.
According to the report the bud
get shows that the institution has
spent $3,192.51 less than was apprO-
priated, and $6,192.51 less than was
calculated in the budget. In addition
to this, DR.. Tarumianz reports, the
institution has received $20,963.68
more than the previous year.
"The per capita cost per week for
maintenance" DR.. Traumianz states,
"in which we include salaries, wages
of the officers and employers, Office
travel, repairs, replacement, and
equipment, is $9.171s as compared
with $S.13 in 1929 and $8.75 in 1928.
ut will be seen that the main in
crease in per capita has been in
equipment because the new laundry
equipment, amounting to $4,000 was
included in this sum.
"The per capita cost for salaries
and wages, for provisions, fuel, re-
pairs and replacement, is 1923 as
against $6.11 for last year, very lit
tie difference in these three main di-
visions"
Referring to the mental hygiene
clinic established last year accord
ing to the laws of the State of Del
aware, the report lists a total of
1,159 cases examined during the past
year. Of these, 1853 were patients of
the Delaware State Hospital, and six
were employees who were not listed
as patients of the clinic.

similar to the Fourth of July in
the United States, several i'm,
migration inspectors weeded out
the IS natives of England from
a party of several hundred
excurSionists and refused to allow
them to embark to the island
which is in American waters.
The fact that the incident
occurred on Dominion Day made
the Canadian sentiment against
the United States more bitter
than it probably would have
been otherwise, one official is
quoted as saying.
The inspectors were loudly
booed and hissed as they stopped
men at the gangplank of the
boat and questioned them. The
excursion boat was held up for
about one and one half hours.
A similar incident Is alleged to
have occurred when other Erg
lish excursionists sought to go to
Put-in-bay, which also is in Amer.
