the hollow stump bungalow Uncle
Wiggily was in the front yard,

he saw the rainbow boy the rabbit
called:
"Hello!"

any of the Bad Chaps we meet with
your crutch and I can tickle them
with my wooden sword. Forward
march!" ordered the rainbow boy
| like a soldier.
Then he and Uncle Wiggily
started adventuring. They march
ed up the hill. They marched down
hill. They tramped over the fields
They tramped through the woods
All the while Bub had his blue
eyes widely open to be the first to
! see an adventure. All of sudden
he saw something crawling in the
tall grass.
Halt" cried Little Bub, waving
his wooden sword. Here's an ad-
venture. Unkie Wig"
NO" said the rabbit gentleman
with laugh, that's only an old
mud turtle" and SO it was. They

New Classroom
Style Adopted
At Noted School

EXETER, N. H., Oct. 6. UP
The new type of class room at
Phillips Exeter academy, one of
the countrys most famous prepar-
story schools for boys, looks more
like the directors room of a big
business corporation.
The students. averaging about a
dozen to each class room, sit in
big, comfortable chairs, around a
table. The instructor sits nearby
at a small desk-on a level with
the students, not on the tradition
al elevated platform.
DR.. Lewis Perry, principal of Ex-
eter, decided upon the new teach
ing plan as the best method of
utilizing the substantial gift which
Edward S. Hardness made the
academy two years ago.
BY increasing the teaching staff
without increasing the size of the
student body, the class divisions
have been made so small that
teacher and students engage in a
study conference, or discussion,
rather than stiff, formal lectures
and recitations. The plan also per-
mits the grouping of students &C
cording to their abilities.
One of the advantages of the
new study plan is the ease and
propriety with which illustrative
material can be introduced into
Rotations.
The Exeter plan will be fully eff
fective within three years, when a
total of rs new teachers will have
been added.

UNCLE WIGGnY AND BUB'S
ADVENTURE

Little Bub, the rainbow boy, was
singing and whistling out in his
back yard. Also he was banging a
stick. or something, on the fence.
Bulbs mother look out at him,
smiled, and said:
Little Bub is having fun"
Then, as he whistled louder than
ever and made many banging
noises with a stick, Bulbs mother
called:
what are you doing, rainbow
boy?"
II am making a sword Bub
answered. "A sword like a soldier
has when he marches
why do you make a sword

Ry United Press .

WASHINGTON, Oct. 6.-Hirosi
Saito. new charge d'affaires of the
japanese embassy, and DR.. Alfred
SEE. termed by Marking acting
minister for China in Washington,
have much in common. Both speak
English we'll, with scarcely trace
of accent. Both are westernized in
dress and habits. Both have spent
much time in the United States.
Both returned last week from the
far east. But they represent states
that are waging a diplomatic-it
not physical war-and presumably
will plead conflicting cases before
the state department.
Saito, young, slender, affects mo-
dish western clothes, smokes pop
ular brand of American cigarettes,
wears a close cropped mustache. He
is emblematic of the newer Japan,
and has risen rapidly in his coun-
try's foreign service.
He comes here at a difficult
time. which will test his diplomacy.
He is fortunate in understanding
western thought, western ways. A
new bit of American slang delights
him. His latest find is "knuckling
down." He was surprised to learn
that the term has its origin in the
juvenile game of marbles.
Saito likes to mine striking
words and phrases from the cruSted
lore of English. One of his newest is
"xenophobia", word he uses to des-
cribe Chinese dislike of foreigners.
SEE is older than Saito and more
dignified. He is also slender, but
conservative in dress and habits
He is fond of books and quiet con-

versation. He was educated III
Washington high schools and Cor

minister from 1923 to 1926 He was
in London last year when the
Shanghai trouble started. He ef-
fectively represented his country
before the league of nations, but
SO strained his health that he was
forced to retire temporarily.
The scholarly diplomats present

He spends his days IN a downtown

visitors. Marking dispatches re-

MORE OF HOOVER

PRESIDENT HOOVER'S address at
Des Moines Tuesday night, and an
other impromptu one at Fit Wayne yes
terday on his way back to Washington,
indicate what many of his supporters
have believed for a long time--that he
can get closer to the people and appeal
to them more by being his natural self,
than by following the dictates of pro-
fessional political leaders who surround
him.
The Des Moines speech clicked, and
with bang. It has strengthened the
Republican cause immeasurably. Thou
sands of voters who were wavering, have
been strengthened by the Presidents
clear explanation of the danger that
confronted the nation and what was
done to protect it. Other thousands are
thinking over seriously what was told
them on that occasion and comparing it
with the empty promises, many impos-
sible of achievement, being made by the
Democratic candidate.
At Fl. Wayne he answered in straight
forward and convincing terms, the
charge, often heard, but groundless, that
Hoover did nothing.
1t is preposterous to believe that
man whose heart could be scared by the
sufferings of men, women and children
in 1876, would remain callous and
Indifferent to suffering in 1882, when
the sufferers are men, women and child
rem of his own country, his neighbors,
friends and kinfolk.
The picture of Hoover painted by his
enemies-sitting comfortably in the
White House, cold, callous, and ignoring
the misery and sorrow around him
was slashed to pieces yesterday as the
President denied the accusation.
1t was the first time he had deemed
the accusation worthy of denial A man
who holds his high office as a sacred
trust by virtue of the ideals implanted
in him as a child, and who is fully aware
of the heavy responsibilities of that
office, spoke out from his heart when he
declared that his enemies charge is not
true. Honest and fair-minded men will
believe him. No man with a drop of
red blood in him, whether in or out of
the White House, could remain indiffer-
.ent in the face of such hardships as the
people of this nation have been called
upon to meet in the past three years
Unthinking persons have accused him
of responsibility for everything that has
happened in the country in the past
three wears. 1t would be as logical to
accuse him of being responsible for the
Cubs loss of the world series, as to
charge him with many of the things
that have been held against him.
Those who appreciate the burden he
has borne hope that he will speak out
again as he has done in these two recent
instances He is his own best champion
and he doesn't need the advice of poll
ticians. More of Herbert Hoover and
less of the professional politicians will
do the most good for the success OF the
Republican campaign.

CUTTING GOVERNMENT COSTS

TAXPAYERS everywhere will find
much of interest in the speech made
yesterday at Los Angeles to the con-
vention of the American Bankers asso-
citation by Governor NJ. S. Conner, of
Mississippi.
Need of reducing the rapidly rising
cost of government, with its attendant
burden on the taxpayer, was the theme
of Governor Corners talk.
He declared, among other things, that
governments, like individuals, should live
within their incomes, as indicated by
careful budgeting of expense and in
come.
Governments, whether national, state,
or municipal should spend only COM
mensurately with the taxpayers ability
to pay, Governor Conner said, as he en-
phasized the necessity of reducing prop
erty taxes and to distribute more even
ly among all citizens, the burden of tax
alton.
AS an example of the efficiency of di-
rect taxation he cited his own state, as
sorting that the legislature had reduced
appropriations by one-third and safely
balanced its budget by means of two
per cent sales tax enacted as an emer-
gency measure.
dT 1TOu UelllS .uupOpuial, ouSH q IaA
has received the approval of the people
of the state and the legislature is now
confronted with a request from more
than one-half of the states 80 counties
to increase the tax from two to five per
cent.
This fact of citizens asking for higher
taxation, a situation that is certainly
unique in American political history, ap-
pears to prove the desirability of sales
tax.
Regarding this system of taxation,
Governor Conner said: "Our people be-
lieve the sales tax, by decreasing the
weight of an ancient and broken down
property tax system, will permit the eX-
emption of the homestead from taxa
ton, encourage the development OF our
resources and put idle lands to work.
They want the sales tax to replace the
tax sales"
The high cost of government, even
more alarming than the high cost of liv-
ing, certainly requires some remedial
action. If plan has been found sue
cessful in Mississippi why would 1t not
work in other states and municipalities
Imperial county citizens, for instance,
have the example Of more outgo tnan
income in their county government pc
fore them, and warning by the grand
Jury that great care must be used not
to have greater deficit in the next fis-
cal year.

BEAUTIFUL PEACHES

From the orchards of VIM. T. Hol-
lis, at the western edge of Milford, a
basket of alberta" peaches, which
certainly would win a prize in any
exposition Of beautiful fruit, was
brought to the office of the Milford
Chronicle last Tuesday with the
compliments of the grower, for dis
play and use of the office. The
peaches were large, splendid in col
or and aroma, as well as flavor. This
basket of beautiful fruit brought
back memory of the years when the
peach industry in Delaware, brought
profits in large patterns to the
thousands of growers on the farms
of lower Delaware. When every
farm was planted with peach trees
and the fruit from which made Della
ware known as the Land of Peach
es." Mr.. Hollis has a fine crop of
fruit this season and it is bringing
prices because of the high quality.
Good fruit means good attention in
its growth. Thanks for the splen-
did basket of "Elbertas", one of
the best of the peaches of today
grown in Delaware.
