using corn binders, some grain
binders or moving machines, while
some sharpen the Old fashioned
corn knife and go at it in the old
fashioned way, slow but sure.
The potato harvest is at hand.
Surely there won't be as many

year. Well, not hardly, for there
aren't as many to be showed un-
der. Very few in this vicinity will
have potatoes for their families
use this winter.

been disclosed. It is said that
more that 100 automobile trucks

How 10 train BABY'S
BOWIE Is

Babies, bottle-fed or breast-fed,
with ally tendency to be co~nstipated,
would thrive if they received daily
half a teaspoonful of this old family
doctors prescription for the bowels.
That is one sure way to train tiny
bowels to healthy regularity: To
avoid the fretfulness, vomiting,
crying, failure to gain. and other Ills
of constipated babies.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin IS
good for any baby. For this, you hare
the word Of a famous doctor. Forty
seven years of practice taught him
little bowels active, regular; keep
little bodies plump and healthy. For
DR.. Caldwell specialized in the treat
ment of women and little ones: He
attended over $500 births without
loss Of one mother or baby.

force of workmen began the job of
laying a Stag surface last week on
two short stretches of highway
leading out from the Townsend
Coldwell concrete road. One of
the roads extends from Colt to
CoIdwell and the other from Sas-

that for years these roads have
been in very bad shape each wint-

thawing weather. Even in the
summertime, these highways were
extremely rough and filled with
deep ruts to give motorists and
others severe jolts and greatly i'm

improvements are to be finished
within a few weeks, but the wealth

THE REFERENDUM ELECTION

communicated
The Smyrna Times,
Smyrna, Delaware.
The Referendum Election of the
Town of Smyrna on Monday, for
or against the sale of The Electric
Light franchise, resulted in favor
of retaining the franchise.
The methods employed by the
leaders of those opposed to the
sale were a disgrace to the citizens
of the town.
The Yellow Sheets, true to color,
distributed by those opposed to
selling the franchise, were in their
statements, in many respects,
false, infamous, misrepresented,
and defamatory in character. This
was particularly true in the inn
plication in reference to the stand
taken by the Superintendent Of our
Public Schools, a prominent Ro-
tartan.
Have we reached that state of
affairs where the well thinking
people of the Community cannot
meet together in their Town Hall
and in an impartial and imperson-
al manner discuss their Commun-
ity problems without having their
integrity questioned?
A little truth, SO camoufaged
by lengthy discussions, succeeded
in influencing the masses.
The leading exponents in favor
of selling the franchise were men
who were born in Smyrna They
gladly gave of their time and
thought with no other motive than
for the best interests of the town
where they have always lived.
The result of the election shows
the Towns approval of the spons-
ers of the Yellow Sheets.
In spite of its handicaps and
present leadership, we wish the

The Delaware Legislature
has a measure before it pro-
viding for increases in the
salaries of our judges. The
Wilmington Morning News
commenting on this says: !:
Times changes. What might
have been a fair salary for a
judge in days gone by is not
fair at present. Our judges
do more work than ever be
fore. In a considerable mea-
sure because of their position
judges, as a class, lead re-
stricted lives. They do not
do many things, business and
speculative ventures, and the
like, as many others do. Their
incomes are necessarily limit
ed.
This measure before the
Legislature should be careful
ly considered. And these
faithful exponents Of justice
in this State should receive
salaries more in accord with
their abilities and the solemn
and discriminating duties
they perform. These duties
require a type of large men
tality and learning combined
with a calmness and poise and
confidence in dispensing JUS
tice according to the right"

its history. An examination
of the facts not only confirms
this statement, but warrants
the belief that the develop
ment is to be continued in the
same manner until our uni
versity stands with the lead
ers among the higher institu-
tions of learning.
H. Rodney Sharp, an alum
nus, a trustee and a liberal
benefactor of the university,
in an interesting contribution
to the January issue Of the
Delaware Alumni News points
out that what is happening
at the university reflects a
changed sentiment through
out the state. "A similar ad-
vance," he says, "has been
made in the development of
building program and in in
creased instructional efficien-
cy throughout the public
school system Of the state"
"The people of Delaware,
Individually and collectively"
Mr.. Sharp adds, "are becom-
ing convinced that education
is of paramount Importance
to the modern commonwealth
that desires to keep pace with |
the progress of civilization, /
and we can low forward with |
confidence, | think, to a con- +
slant strengthening of that
conviction and to the results
such a conviction is sure to
produce"
This undoubtedly is a cor
rect analysis of the situation,
vet, as helpful as the state
mas been to its university
and it has, through its Legis-
ature, been magnanimous -
like the present
showing could have been
made had it not been for the
great interest manifested and
he wonderful financial help
yiven BY Mr.. Sharp and a
of other warm
friends Of the institution.
The state, in what it has
lone, has shown its apprecia-
ion Of these benefactions
nd its willingness to further
he cause Of education to the
xtent Of its ability.-Every

Smyrna, at the Referendum
Election Monday afternoon,
decided to retain its electric
light plant, distribution sys-
tenn and franchise. The bond
ed debt of $2O4,OOO is to stay
with US until some future
council can devise ways and
means Of liquidating it. De
spite the fact that four or
five of the big property own
ers, not fully decided, could,
by voting For the Sale"
have swung the decision fav-
orable to those seeking the
golden opportunity of getting
the Town of Smyrna out of
debt, the election was a vic
tory for the opponents and
the will of the people as ex-
pressed at the ballot is SUI
preme. While the election
was one of the liveliest ever
held in Smyrna, it is regret
ed that more time was not al
lowed for the people to give
study to the proposition. A
considerable number had not
sufficient time to get at the
true facts because Of the ex-
travagant and misleading
propaganda put out BY those
sponsoring the opposition.
Unfortunately, it is said, too
much personality and selfish
interests entered into the con-
test to becloud the issue. The
offer Of the Eastern Shore
Public Service Company of
100000 cash was a munifi-
cent sum, enough to have
liquidated Smyrna's entire
bonded debt with $4,000 left
for a sinking fund to be perm
anently invested. Whether a
like offer will ever be made
again remains to be seen. We
hope an even better offer can
be secured, but applying
the old adage: "A bird in the
hand is worth two in the
bush," it remains to be seen
whether Smyrna has not
made a mistake in turning
down the offer of the Eastern
Shore Public Service Com {
pany. At any event, future
Town Councils will have a
proposition on their hands to
pay off Smyrna's bonded in 5
debtedneSs. In the meantime {
the annual $4,000 interest on 5
this indebtedness must be !
paid, along with the towns i
operating expenses. Let us {
hope no more bonds will soon
have to be issued and the tax ]
rate will not have to be in
creased. We hope all will
turn out for the best.
