Hardly anything could be
more important than the five
year health plan, a one hun
dred per cent sanitation pro-
gram worked out by the State
Sanitary Engineer, R.C. Beck
ett, comments the Morning
News.
"This question is called to
mind and made more import
ant by the present hot spell,
which has upset many things.
And the warm weather makes
it imperative that great care
should be taken with food.
The plan is to wipe out ty-
phoid fever, curb the traffic in
bootleg oysters from the con-
taminated areas in the Della
ware streams, and work for
safe milk, clean restaurants,
service stations and improve
the rural and institutional
sewage. 1t is, some might
say, an ambitious program,
but even SO, that would be no
reason why it should not be
successfully carried out as it
should be.
"All foods and drinks should
surely be watched, for it is
very easy in these days for
food to become contaminated.
With the details in mind it
will be a busy period for the
State Sanitary Engineer.
There is no doubt that public
opinion will be strongly with
him"

In the death of DR.. Harry
Roche Spruance, a native
Smyrnian, who became an
outstanding physician in Will
mington, there is cause for re-
gret. DR.. Spruance lead a life
doing good to others and ever
set high ideals for the COM
munity and state in which he
lived. The world is the bet
ter by the lives of such pers-
ons and Smyrna has a right
to be proud of such achieve
ments of its native sons.

All things considered, per-
haps less attention has been
paid to the predicament of the
farmers than to any other ele-
ment in the country. True, a
so-called Farm Relief Board
has been functioning in a
more or less futile fashion.
There have been huge meet
ings of Chambers of Com
merce, national and interna-
tional, and there have been
other gatherings, but if in any
of them serious attention has
been paid the farmer there is
no record of it. Perhaps the
speakers thought they might
be more hystified by the
farmers problems than they
are with those Of other
branches Of industry.
The great depression in
prices has profoundly affected
the farmers. For instance,
many varying causes have
been given in the public prints
and in public speeches for the
tremendous drop in the price
of wheat; but most Of these
views have come from polite
ians or from persons who
have had hardly more than an
amateur knowledge Of the
facts. Perhaps one of the
most impressive statements
on the subject which has been
made this year is that of the
Grain Market Analyst Club Of
Chicago, which is composed Of
the leading grain statisticians
and crop experts in America.
This organization, in a report
released this week, says
bluntly that the whole trouble
is a matter of over-production
and that even the prestige Of
a great government, such as
the United States, cannot
overtun the "immutable law
of supply and demand" Such
efforts "only serve to waste
the taxpayers money and to
make the situation worse by
encouraging the creation of a
further surplus, when it is the
existence of that surplus
which is the fundamental
cause of the trouble"
An interesting and highly
significant point the Analyst
Club makes is that unlike
most natural products, the
use of wheat for human food
is practically uniform in guam
tity whether the price be high
or low. This is an excellent
axiom for those to bear in
mind who are constrained to
increase their wheat acreage
when prices are high. Above

Hartford, Aug 6.-Holyrood Chief, the big bay gelding which last year won the historic Charter Oak Stake with a spectacular vic- tory in straight heats, added an other Hartford Roaring Grand" triumph to his long list of spark ling racing performances yesterday afternoon, winning the 2:07 class trot. the highlight of the second days program at the 1881 meeting. He had to beat a Hartford ace for his victory, James r. Berry's bay mare, Tronia Britton which took the first heat and gave him two great battles in the second and third.
 Hollyrood Chief failed to get out of the bunch in the opener, despite the best efforts of his driver, Will Leese, and finished sixth. Tronia Britton, trotting in rare form, fash ed first under the wire, Will Crozier bringing her home with a mark of 2:02, shattering the seasons mark of 2:02 IA. Hollyrood Susan's rec ord at this years Kalamazoo meet ing. Tronia Britton got off to q
 
 but Hollyrood Colin and Hollyrood Chief were hard on her heels and the latter fought his way out in front as the field flashed by the half-mile post Tronia Britton was stuck near the rail in the upper turn. She pulled out and sprinted down the stretch on the outside but Leese had Hollyrood Chief tearing along In a smoky, space-eating trot and he wired first by half-length.
 In the final mile Tronia Brifton failed to flash the speed she show ed in her record-smashing heat and the deciding battle was all the Chiefs from the quarter mile mark. He raced up outside the field and fought off challenging sprints by Tronia Britton to hold the margin, trotting under the wire with Crozier's mare at his sulkys wheels. The victory brought the gelding's owner, F. F. Piper, Alls- ton, Mass, the biggest cut in a 1000 purse.

LUCKY SPIKES GIVE HAWKEYES RECORD

Ames, Ia, Aug 6-There were Seven League Boots of fairy tale fame-and then there were the good luck track shoes worn by Bob Hager, 1881 captain of the Iowa State College track team.
 A year ago Coach Bob Simp- son bought Hager q pair of new shoes to wear in the Big Six Conference meet. Wearing them, Hagcr set a new record of 14.5 seconds in the 12O-yard high hurdles. At the close of the track season, Hagcr's shoes, properly labeled and with spikes polished, were hung above the door of his room.
 Getting ready to go to the Drake Relays this past season, Hagcr looked IongingIy at the old shoes. They seemed to say take us along"
 He did--and set new Drake mark.
