mittees to complete their work.
At the meeting of the Sussex
county caucus letter was present
ed to the caucus by w. Elwood
Wright, chairman of the county
committee, from Congressman Rob-
ert G. Houston of Georgetown, stat
ing that he did not wish his name
presented to the convention as a
candidate for any office.
Mr.. Houston in his letter said he
was convinced that the Better Gov
ernment League which had endors-
ed another candidate for Congress
controlled a majority of the dele
gates. His letter follows:
Convinced that the Better Gov
ernment League which has endorsed
another candidate for Congress con-
trolls the majority of the delegates
who have been elected to the state
convention which convenes at Dover
tomorrow, l do not wish my name
presented to the convention for any
caucus of delegates thereof for con-
sideration for any nomination and
you are authorized to so announce.
Express to all my friends my deep
est appreciation of their support in
the past, and assurances of support
at this time"

Cornelius C. Marshall, of Lewes,
placed the name of Mr.. Houston be-
fore the caucus for Congress but

to go before the convention. Chair

ANTITRUST LAW
REPEAL URGED AS
DEPRESSION Cure
"OutwOrn Individualism
Dogma" Hit by Mitchell
In Addressing Bankers.
ELECT HIRSCH HEAD
Milford Man Is Elected
President OF The State
Bankers Association.

Repeal or modification of the anti
trust laws, substituting cO-opera-
ton for competition" was declared
here last night to be the first step
which must be taken toward ending
the depression.
Addressing the banquet of the Del
aware Bankers Association at the
Hotel Henlopen at Rehoboth, Thurs
day of last week, DR.. Broadus Mitch
ell, associate professor of political
economy, Johns Hopkins University,
boldly attacked ''the. outwOrn dogma
of individualism" and asserted that
only by fostering strong units of in
dustry could business be stabilized
and the welfare of society promoted.
DR.. Mitchell was followed on the
evening program by the Rev. H. R.
McDade, Newport, whose topic was
The World From a Sidewalk
Things 1 See AS Pass By" A short
ceremony marked the induction of
new officers, Daniel Hirsch, of the
First National Bank and Trust Co.,
Milford, the new president, accepting
the honors for the incoming group.
Al lllG dllClhOOAA oOof'ACAA
there was passed unanimously res
Olution that ION a given date" the
rate of interest on savings accounts
should be reduced to per cent.
Otherwise, the resolution explained,
"our banks would not be able to
maintain their earnings in sufficient
amounts to permit them to increase
their surplus and reserves by any
amounts if they contin-
ued to pay per cent on savings
accounts"
The resolution was offered by Jas.
II. Hughes, Sr., of Dover, chairman
of the resolution committee. Action
on whether State banking commits
sion should be created was deferred
after discussion growing out of the
insistence of Thomas r. Ingram, of
the Sussex Trust Co., Lewes, that the
sense of the meeting be learned on
the matter. That no action was TAX
en- was largely due to the opposition |
Of Henry Ridgely, of Dover, who said |
The question was too involved to be |
passed upon in the meeting. The |
chairman was instructed, however, |
10 take steps to acquaint bankers |
'urther with the proposal.

ARIZONA REPORTS
PLENTY OF LABOR

At the request o. the director Of
the U. S. employment service for
the state of Arizona, j. H. Fallin,
director of the U. S. employment
service in Southern California, has
sent a warning to the Ell Centre
Chamber of Commerce concerning
the labor condition in Arizona.
Fallin states in his communica-
ton, THE U. S. employment SER
vice office in Los Angeles warns
cotton pickers and other agricul-
tural labor to refrain from going
to Arizona for this sort of en-
ployment this fall or winter. The
state director for the U. S. en-
ployment service for Arizona joins
with this office in urging cotton
pickers and transient labor to heed
this warning for their own good,
since there is an ample supply of
agricultural labor now in Arizona to
fully meet the need for it; and that
to go there now would only in
crease the unemployment situation
in Arizona and at the same time
work cruel hardship on the work
ers going there to secure this or
any other employment. Public CO.

CANNING MAY
USE SURPLUS
IN ASPARAGUS

Local growers of asparagus will
be cheered by good news brought
them by j. B. Norton, we'll known
plant pathologist and developer of
the Mary Washington strain of as
paragus grown in Imperial Valley.
Properly processed, young green
asparagus canned brings a better
price than fresh asparagus retail
ed in city stores, Norton declares,
and provides a fine market for
surplus crop.
Small soup stock, canned at once
after cutting, preserves the same
delicate fresh flavor which makes
freshly cut asparagus so desirable
and which is lost if the vegetable
is held too long in retail markets
Experiments in canning were
conducted in South Carolina where
the Mary Washington fields are
located, and housewives soon learn
ed the value of this new canned
product which brought a better
price, and which Norton states, is
! actually more delicious than the
fresh product obtainable in the
market.
Norton is continuing experiment.
al work and stated that while g
fine seed crop was produced in the
south, lack of rain prevented ex-
perimental work. Improvements il
the stock is his aim and he will con-
tinue to conduct experiments in The
valley.
Well known as a plant breeder
Norton's remarks bear weight with
local growers. AS well as continuing
work on asparagus he is introduce
ing new strains OF flowers and
grass which should do we'll in the
valley.
