FLOWERS FOR TEMPLE

Many years ago, College name
Grew a magic name to me
1 often dreamed in some world ~
known,
AT Temple College, I'd be.
A robin sang in my heart, one dav
And the skies came gIorio1e
blue;
Flowers of delight grew all abont
And the dream of years came
true.
For I walk these halls with foo.
steps Light,
They seem to be paved with goIa
I meet as I walk ladies who smila
And knights as in tales Of ola
The fairy queens sit on fa;ry
thrones
And offer us nectar sweet.
So we quaff the fairy drink-aDd
then
Go forward our lives to meet
The fairy elves in their fairy gladas
Have builded an airship fine.
A happy band, we have learned
from them
Many truths of life divine.
Treasurers of gold, I've found in
these walls
Bright treasurers, beyond com
pare;
Jewels of knowledge, and gems Of
thot
And beautiful ideals. rare.
Farewell, dear comrades, in days 10
come,
shall fondly dream Of you.
Your smiles and kindly words wjiI
revive
My soul, as flow'rs wet by dew
To the teachers of Temple College
I offer this tribute, true;
Memories golden, beautiful thots.

DELAWARE CROP
REPORT GIVEN
Corn, Wheat and Hay Produc-
tion Under Estimates as
of August 1st
FRUIT PROSPECTS LOW

Delaware's field crops, except
hay, on August l, were slightly be-
low the ten-year average condition
as of that date, according to Rich
ard c. Ross, Agricultural Statistic
ian for Delaware. The indicated
production of corn is placed at A.
256,00O bushels as against an in
dicated production of 4,4O8,OOO
bushels on July 1 last, and 1866
600 bushels the ten year average.
Production of wheat is estimated,
on August 1, to be $4,000 bushels
compared with last months esti-
mate of 1,256,0 900 bushels and l.
1920 bushels, the average. Fruit
prospects declined during the
month. Condition of the total crop
of peaches was reported at AZ per
cent, compared with 81 per cent re-
ported on July l. The total crop
is forecast at 216,000 bushels, COM
pared with 258,OO0 bushels indicat-
ed a month ago and 100000 BUSH
els harvested last year. Condition
of the commercial crop is much
lower than the total crop, being re-
ported at % per cent on August 1.
Stocks of wheat in interior mills
and elevators of Delaware amount
ed to about 10000 bushels on July
1, according to a recent report of
Richard c. Ross, agricultural stat
istician for Delaware. This amount
is double the stocks on hand a
year ago, when 10000 bushels were
estimated to be on hand. Stocks
on July 1, 1880, were estimated at
$4,000 bushels. United States
stocks on July were estimated at
Al, ,817, 900 bushels. Stocks on the
same date last year were estimated
to have been 80, ,252,0 600 bushels IRE
vised). This report is intended to
include wheat stocks in country
elevators and in the smaller inter-
ior mills which are not included |
either in the Departments report |
on stocks of wheat in SO markets |
or the Bureau of the Census report |
on stocks in merchant mills and at |
tached elevators. The estimate is
based largely on reports from
about 4,100 mills and elevators 10

SAFETY COUNCIL
GIVES ADVICE
Six Cardinal Principles to
Guide the Motor Car
Driver on the Highway
GUIDED BY SET RULES

According to the Delaware Safe
! ty Council, there are but six card
inal principles to guide the motor
car driver. Most people who learn
to drive car properly are guided
unconsciously by the set rules.
Very few, however, have ever TAX
en- the trouble to analyze the stu
alton and accurately segregate for
themselves these six rules of motor
operation. If citing these rules
causes you to argue the point and
to attempt to determine other
fundamental principles, then they
will have served a good purpose.
keep your attention concen-
trated on driving. A driver should
know what's happening about him.
Keep in mind that trouble can
happen on either side of your car,
as well as in front and rear.
Follow as straight a course
as possible. Pass no car or object
and make no turn without giving
all Of the cars near you clear sig
nails Of your intention. Don't pull
out from parked position into
the road without making sure that
no car is approaching dangerously
close from your rear. Have a clear
vision on all four sides. Don't pass
other cars near the crest of
grade or on curves, for you have
no way of telling what is just over
the hill or just around the corner.
3.-See to it that you leave a
safe braking distance between
yourself and the car ahead. If
car behind you runs too close. give
him a stop signal with your hand
and he will drop back. Keep him
there. Watch yourself while run
ming down grade and make it
point at all times to maintain this
liberal braking distance.
4.-Use hand signals to supple
ment automatic brake lights. When
you plan to stop be sure to let the
man behind you know your inten-
tion before you apply the brake;
give hand signal Should it be-
come necessary to stop suddenly,
don't forget to signal anyway,
whether or not you have time to
follow the above instructions.
5.-Have your car under perfect
control when approaching cross
streets or intersections. Be pre-
pared to quickly. Do this
and you win keep away from many
accidents for which you are not re-
sponsible but which might involve
you.
6.-Give any driver or pedestrian
the right of way who insists on it.
Many serious crashes are caused
by drivers attempting to force
what they think are their rights
over other drivers or pedestrians.
The foregoing six points, if OBJ
served by all drivers, would great
ly lessen the number of accidents.
They are all simple, practical
principles, and no one can ever
consider himself real driver until
he handles his car in accordance
with these few simple rules. Don't |
let anyone tell you this is theory.
Just open your eyes when you are
on the road and you win find that
by far the greater number of mar
row escapes and actual smash-ups
that you see are caused by some
driver running contrarywise to
these principles.

Snyder Lines Ordered by State to
Cease Their Operations.
Public service commissioners Sat-
urday approved an order of Com
missioner Harry K. Cuthbertson
putting the Tom Snyder truck COM
panies out of business for alleged
operation as common carriers
without commission consent.
Companies banned are the Ware
house Distributing Corporation,
Central Union Truck Company and
the G. E. l. & I Motor Express, Inc,
all Of which operate from Ais South
Pennsylvania street.
Sixteen other Indiana truck
companies from throughout the
state doing business with the
Snyder terminal here as headquar-
tiers also were ordered to cease
operations with the Snyder lines.
The order resulted from an in
vestigation launched by the COM
mission after CuthbertSon an
nounced dismissal of the Store De-
livery, Inc, petition in the midst
of a hearing on it. The Store Door
Delivery, Inc, was organized to
unite the companies doing business
with Snyder into a state covering
network of motor truck lines.
