500 STUDENTS In BOTH
COLLEGES FOR, 1882. 30

University of Delaware opened
with the largest enrolment in the
history of the institution. The total
enrolment is nearly. 800 in the two
colleges. The joint freshman class
is also the largest the University has
ever had which was surprising in
view of the depression. 1t totals
nearly 300 students. OF this num-
ber more than 40 are in the fresh
men class at Delaware College and
about 120 in the Womens College.
Nearly so per cent of the freshmen
enrolment comes from Wilmington
The percentage of. freshmen from
outside the state is less than Is per
cent, while the remainder is divided
between rural New Castle County,
Kent County and Sussex County.
There are about thirty freshmen in
the two colleges from Sussex county
and about 20 from Kent county.
Convocation exercises marking
the opening of the University were
held Monday afternoon and classes
started on Tuesday.

Milford Chronicle
Milford, Delaware.
/ Dear. Sir:-The absence of the
school page in your paper has filled
me with disappointment as l have
looked forward to it ever since it
was started. Its usefulness was APP
parent for it gave an idea of the
schools activities as no other agen-
cy could.
During the first year of its appear
ance two articles printed on the
school page pleased me so much
that l could not rest until their re-
spective authors Miss Alice Breme
land Miss Elsie Davis) received lit
tie tokens of encouragement from
me. Lurking in our classrooms are
other talented young people who
need but the encouragement of just
such page to bring out their abil-
tiles.
There is a tendency to over em-
phasize sport news. Efforts should
be made to stress interest in cur
rent events and subjects more re-
lated to the classroom. The pride
boy or girl feels when his or her
composition is published in your
widely-read paper is exceedingly
great. Also, class ratings and indi-
vidual work deserving distinction,
published weekly, is an incentive to
the average child productive of ex-
cellent results.
Sincerely yours,

EGG REPORT FOR POULTRYMEN


In the August report of the Della
ware farm egg record club, which
has been issued by H. S. Palmer, ex-
tension poultryman of the University
of Delaware, and mailed recently
from the county extension offices to
those poultry raisers who are keep
ling egg production records of their
foeks, mention has been made of the
average egg production from 8,092
ipullets, 6,145 hens and 14,564 pulIets
and hens in mixed ffecks, represent
ing total of 112 farms in the State.
In comparing the egg production
for August of this year with that of
August, 1881, it has been noted that
the pullets this year laid on the aver
age 1872 eggs during this month, and
last year for this same month the
average was 11.9 eggs per bird, or an
increase of IL per cent. The produc-
ton per hen, however, has been re-
duced within the past year, as in Au-
gust, 1882, it was 9.4 eggs as COM
pared to 11.2 eggs for August of last
year, resulting in a decrease of Is
percent. The egg production per
bird in the mixed fiocks consisting
of pullets and hens has remained
about the same during this period
with an average of, 104 eggs for this
August and 10 eggs for August, 1881.
AS September and October are the
best months to select hens for use as
breeders, all poultrymen have been
advised to follow this practice be-
cause. at this season of the year it
is easier to pick out the best layers
and the most vigorous birds in the
oflck After. the hens have gone
a molt it is more difficult to

BUYING ELECTIONS

There IS something majestic in the
silence of election day All at once
the ballyhooing of orators, the blar-
ing of bands, the radio shouting, the
clamor of the printed word, are si-
lent, and the people march quietly
to the polls to perform heir act of
sovereignty. Is that choice truly
and faithfully recorded?
Back 40 and even 20 years ago, the
, buying of purchasable voters became
a regular industry Some men
looked to the sale of their votes as
regular source of income. If some
candidate was willing to compensate
them for the bother of going to the
polls, they never worried whether it
was wrong. This applies to many of
the older states.
Laws were loose in those times.
The voters commonly voted by de-
posting a printed ticket in the bal
lot box, and the tickets usually look
ed different in color or shape, so a
purchaser could tell whether any of
his cattle voters had failed to vote
as he was paid. But when candi-
dates began to herd their purchased
voters up 0 the polls in droves,
storm of Indignation stiffened up the
laws, and adopted plans for secret,
voting, under which the citizen
marks his ballot in a booth, OF in
some states operates a voting ma
chine.
So in the main the majestic |
choice of the American voter is re-
corded as it was made. But if the |
crooked boss can't buy up his votes
and get them delivered, in many cit
les he stuffs the registration lists
with false names.
And the influence of money is still |
potent. If you send out a political |
worker and pay him literally for his
time, it is not generally considered
an act of bribery. And yet money
spent that way may bring thousands
of votes to your cause that you could
not get otherwise: Thus money still
holds its power at the ballot box.
Some day the American people are
likely to restrict that power much
more severely.

Earl BrOIUn Endorses
Income Tax Amendment.

Urging support of the income tax
amendment, Earle Brown, Republican
candidate for governor, has pledged
himself to use the new revenue to re-
heve the tax burden now weighing so
havily upon the farmers and laborers
of the state.
Il intend to vote for the income tax
amendment in November" Mr.. Brown
declared. Il have always been for it.
1 believe that we can improve the
method of collecting taxes Adopting
the income tax amendment is only one
step. 1t must be made a replacement
tax. If that is done it will be a good
tax and I am for it.
IF I am elected governor I will use
every ounce of my influence to see
that it is made replacement tax and
not simply added to the present tax
burden"
Mr.. Browns guarantee to use the
income tax funds exclusively for re-
placement purposes plus his pledge to
cut $5,000000 off the state tax levy
gives the voters the most comprehensive
tax and economy program offered by
any party or candidate, E. L. Mcmillan,
chairman OF the Republican state
central committee, declared.

COUNTY NEEDS
| Relief WORK
Matter Discussed by County.
Wide Committee-Forest
and Fire Broached.

A delegation consisting of Mayor
Wolff, Alderman Homer and Assessor
James were in Duluth Wednesday and
assisted in organizing the st. Louis
County Relief Committee and helped
draft report to be presented to Gov
ernor Olson in connection with the
appeal for Reconstruction Finance
Corporation funds to combat the unem-
ployment situation.
"A subcommittee of Duluth and range
men to the number of IL were named
to make a survey of the economic
needs of the county for approval by
the parent body. Chairman Newman
of the County Board made the appoint
ment of the subcommittee of which he
is the chairman. In addition to Chair
man Newman on the committee are
Emil S. Gustafson, city commissioner,
Duluth; Earl Keene, city auditor, Hib-
bling; A. E. Bickford, city clerk, Vir-
ginia; Fred Spillum, president, Biwabik
village council; County Commissioner
Jacob L. Pete, Ely; M. B. Elson, Sec
rotary, st. Louis County Club, repre-
senting agriculture; Carl A. Gustafson,
Duluth, president, Federated Trades
Assembly, representing labor; j. H.
Hearding, Duluth, chairman, county
poor commission; r. L. Griggs, Duluth,
banker and w. F. Pellenz, Virginia,
superintendent, Oliver Iron Mining
company, representing the mining in
terestS.
In making the investigation into the
relief needs of the county, the subcom-
mittee will work in conjunction with
Prof. Charles G. Stillman of the Ohio
State University, employed to assist in
co-ordinating the work of relief agen-
cies throughout the county.
Alderman Homer also placed before
the county commissioners and the
State Conservation Commission the
matter of cutting and depositing in the
lakes in booms the down and damaged
timber which covers an approximate
area of 1000 square miles and which
was blown over, broken and damaged
during the storm which passed through
this section in July.
The proposition advanced is to get
money to employ men to care for the
timber and use the timber in the lakes
for security. The fire hazard has in
creased greatly by reason of this
damaged and down timber and in
order to save it the idea is to log it.
This will ameliorate the fire hazard
besides keep the worms out of the down
timber.
1t was agreed by the commissioners
to take the matter up with Governor
Olson and the Federal Regional For
ester and without a doubt something
will be accomplished. Commissioner
Jacob L. Pete also lent his efforts to-
ward the movement by stating that IS
per cent of the timber is in the Su-
perior National Forest and that terri
tory affected is about fifty miles long
and twenty miles wide.
