The Beg property will in- crease it's crew of four to about Is within a few days.
 At the Hirst Chichagof, Man ager D. A. Williams is driving on the main level to tap ground on the opposite side of the hill from the present workings. The tunnel is in about 4,0O0 feet and has about 900 feet more to go before breaking through.

New York Cold SPOT

The coldest spot in the eastern
part of this country is thought to
be Owls Head, In Franklin county,
New York. Temperatures Of 80 to
40 degrees below zero are not un-
usual there. A few winters ago the
hardy souls who inhabit the hamlet
claimed 60 below. Verification was
impossible, for the mercury in all
local thermometers went down and
out at about so below. Owls Head
lies 1880 feet above sea level on
the northern tip Of the Adirondack
plateau. From this point to Ma
lone the railroad drops 800 feet in
less than ten miles. Winds coming
direct from the North pole first
strike land at Owls Head. Frank

MANY MEMBERS
TO VOICE REPEAL
Join Delaware WOmen's Or
ganiZatiOn For National
Prohibition Reform
SMYRNA HAS INCREASE

The Delaware Women's Organ
ization for National Prohibition
Reform, whose purpose is the re-
peal of the 18th amendment and
return of liquor control to the
States, has reported that over $500
new members were secured in the
Repeal Week Compaign the past
week. More than 800 of this num-
ber were men who wanted to go
on record for repeal along with the
women members of their families,
and agreed to sign cards of the
Association aaginst the Prohibition
Amendment, which is also interest
ed in securing an expression of
sentiment among the voters for re-
peal of prohibition. Both organi-
cations are asking the two party
conventions to take an active stand
in favor of an early resolution of
Congress to repeal the 18th amend
ment, to be submitted to conven-
tions in the several States for rail-
fication or rejection. This is pro-
posed as the only constitutional
method of taking referendum
since the convention in each State
will be composed of delegates elect
ed directly by the people for this
one purpose.
The women's organization also
reports that the number of drys
who are signing in approval of the
referendum plan is steadily in
creasing and the feeling expressed
is that whatever they may feel
personally about prohibition, it is
only fair that the people be given
a voice in settling an issue that
concerns every one and that can
only be taken out of politics in this
way.
Smyrna is listed among the
towns giving a good percentage of
increase to it's membership in the
women's organization last week.
The names of members are not
published unless signers make pub
lie their own membership or give
permission for the organization to
print them. The membership cam
paign will continue steadily
throughout the election year, di-
rected from the headquarters at
254 Delaware Trust Building, Will
mington, through local leaders in
all the towns and rural districts.

When Worlds Were Born

Where do meteorites and shoot
Ing stars come from? Astronomers
believe that millions of years ago,
when the suns family Of worlds was
born, there was a great planet re-
volving between Mars and Jupiter.
For some unknown reason this
planet exploded, giving birth itself
TO a vast family Of tiny planets Of
which over a thousand are known.
1t is of the smaller fragments that
the meteorites are formed. Shoot
ing stars are believed to be a kind
of celestial smithereens resulting
from the destruction of comets. In
certain cases comets themselves
have failed to put in an appearance
when they were due to return, but
great showers Of shooting stars
have occurred instead.

He said if advertising of the majority

Worshiping the idol of fear"
cit is not short selling in itself, but

not the advertising alone of lower
prices, but the senseless and persistent
abuse of them that will topple many q

He said stores should preach better
