FIRST SHORE SPUDS
SHIPPED TO MARKET

The first three cars of potatoes
from the Eastern Shore of Virginia
section this season were shipped
this week.
Prices will be lower this year
than last according to present indi-
cations and the markets will be fill
ed during the Eastern Shore season,
shipments from North Carolina and
other sections being usually large
and running concurrently this year
with Eastern Shore shipments to a
great degree.
The Eastern Shore of Virginia is
expected to produce 10,972.000 bush
els of potatoes on 70,379 acres. This
is an increase of 100000 bushels
over last years figures. Acreage in
Maryland potatoes is 1O,0i0.
1850 cars of potatoes from the
Eastern Shore of Virginia section
and 1924 from the Eastern Shore of
Maryland were shipped last year at
fair to good prices principally be-
cause other seasons were early
enough to be off the market, pro-
viding a constant demand through
out the season.
The Carolinas, Alabama, Texas
and louisiana crops are greatly in
excess of last years. North Caro-
lina's crop is predicted as thirty-fiye
per cent larger.

KENT FARMERS TO
GROW NEW CROP
Grain Growers In North
ern Part Of County To
Try Diversified Crops

In view of the present market
prices and the future prospects of
the grain crops throughout the coun-
try, many farmers are planning to
diversity their system of farming by
growing other crops in an effort to
withstand this period of agricultur-
al and general business depression,
and this change is being made in a
number of sections in Delaware and
throughout the Peninsula where the
soil and climatic conditions are suit
able for growing many different
kinds of crops.
One outstanding example of this
change in the agricultural prac-
tices may be found in the northern
part of Kent county where several
farmers in the vicinities of Smyrna
and Clayton are growing canta-
loupes this year with the hope that
from this crop they will realize
more profitable returns per acre
than they have been securing from
corn and wheat during the past few
years. AS this is the first time that
some of these farmers have ever
grown cantaloupes, and considering
the fact also that it has been a num-
ber of years since these melons
have been raised to any extent in

Improvement in the public schools
of the State in direct proportion to
the active interest of the citizens,
was revealed in reports given at the
annual luncheon meeting of the
Delaware Citizens Association in
the dupont Biltmore Hotel, Will
mington, last week, Delaware
schools sank to their lowest ebb
prior to 1917, years during which,
the records show, there was no pub
lie interest in education. They have
improved at a rate indicated by the
index figures of 5756 in 1920 and
104.9 in 1890, during a period mark
ed by unprecedented interest in pub
lie education on the part of the pub
lie.
More than $4,000 has been spent
by the Citizens Association during
the fiscal year just closing, to de-
velop greater interest in public ed
ucation in Delaware, according to
the report of the treasurer, H. Flet-
cher Brown, given at the meeting.
Fourteen individuals are contribut-
ing the larger portion of the budget.

With 1873 boys and girls, members
of various All Clubs from all parts
of the State in attendance, the 18th
annual Short Course started at the

A. D. Cobb, assistant director Of

NO BOOTLEG GAS

Collection OF Tax From

Delaware has no bootleg gasoline
problem such as is worrying officials

Reports that bootleg gasoline has

payment of the State tax have been
Investigated and found to be with

uty State Treasurer, said Wednes-

Mr.. Ledenham added that the
State is experiencing no difficulty in
collecting the three-cent tax on ev-
cry gallon of gasoline sold within
the State.
Discussion with Mr.. Ledenham of
the decision of Pennsylvania to
equip a revenue cutter to ply the
Delaware River in an effort to put a
stop to the smuggling into the state
of bootleg gasoline, brought out the
fact that Pennsylvania new state
gasoline tax law is a copy of the
Delaware law.
Delaware, Mr.. Ledenham pointed
out, collects the gasoline tax direct
ly from the wholesalers who num-
ber between thirty-five and forty.
The State has no dealings with the
retailers, the tax being turned over

AWARD CONTRACT
FOR SUSSEX JAIL
TO COST $S1,2O6.OO
New Structure Will Be
Built By Matthew J.
McDermOtt
HOUSE 1873 PRISONERS

Construction of a new Jail tor
Sussex county took tangible shape
on Tuesday when the Levy Court
Commissioners, after considering
the bids submitted on June 8, award
ed the contracts to the following:
Jail erection and construction ac-
cording to base bid and alternates,
Matthew j. McDermOtt, Georgetown.
1914; electrical work, Arrow
Electric Company, Philadelphia. at
base and alternate bids of S2,9S5;
oil burner equipment, J. Tillie Bry-
an, Seaford, $1,80S.90; plumbing,
Daniel J. Keating, Philadelphia,
$1,000; heating, Daniel J. Keating,
5000.
The total cost as construction,
based on the bids as submitted, will
be $81 1,2O6.9O.
The Jail, according to present
plans, will be built at the Sussex
County Almshouse farm, about two
miles from Georgetown, along the
du Pont Highway. Accommodations
for 1913 prisoners is being provided
for, but this, it is already cOntended
is inadequate, when it is taken into
consideration that the population OF
the penal institutions of the State
are increasing among the long ter
mers.
Within 20 years, it is figured, the
contemplated new Jail will be too
small
Eventually it is planned to con-
vert it into a county workhouse SIM
liar to the New Castle County insti-
tuition. If this is done, an additional
wing will have to be constructed as
quarters, which probably
will amount to as much as the pro-
posed new Jail is to cost.
Under an act of the Legislature,
passed at the last session, the Levy
Court Commissioners were authoriz-
ed to bond the county in the sum OF
100000. If the contracts cover the
entire completion of the institution,
there will be a balance of approx
imately $4,000. The furnishings will
cost between $4,000 and
$4,000.

Following announcement of three
eligibles resulting from a recent eX-

week that r. r. German, Democrat,
would again be named postmaster at
Delmar, Delaware.
Mr.. German has served as post

eligibles, also Democrats, are Albert
Hearn and Samuel Ellis.
Several months ago it was under

Senator Philip Lee Goldsborough,
that in view of the fact that ma

were residents of Maryland, a man
from that state should be named
postmaster to succeed Mr.. German.
The matter, it was learned, was in
formally discussed between Sena-

1t Achieved A Lasting
Popularity Several

Activities Are Enjoyed By
Millions OF Dads Each
Fathers Day

The twenty-frst annual Observ-
ance of Fathers Day, together with
it's ninth yearly celebration on a ma
tional scale, will be observed
throughout the United States and
Canada Sunday, June 81. Thus the
day will become of age" and take
its place among the more mature"
dates which have won permanent
places on the observation calendar.
1t achieved a lasting popularity
years ago.
Its origin is traced to the fact
that a family of motherless children
was brought up by their father,
William B. Smart. One of these
children, Mrs. John Bruce Dodd, of
Spokane, Washington, wished to per-
petuate the memory of her fathers
devotiOn-a desire that finally took
form in the original Fathers Day
movement, as first observed on a
Sunday in June, 1910. Succeeding
observances fixed the day as the
third Sunday in June, it's initial sue
cess largely being attributed to the
active participation of the Minister
ial Association and the Y. M. C. A.
Various customs and ceremonialS
have become familiar to fathers
family during the generation since
then. Yet, some of the most promi-
nent Fathers Day usages of 1881,
were among those created by Mrs.
Dodd twenty-one years ago. She
wished it to be primarily a family
tribute of love and appreciation-a
day of remembrance and recogni-
ton" in honor of fathers worth and
homely virtues. However, she was
glad to have the idea enlarged by
the cooperation of the churches
and kindred organizations, all of
which so greatly helped to spread
