once Church and State have licensed them to
live together, and become changeless as the

not or cannot share and the rift between them

IT'S good trick, if they do it. But it involves

AS long as Time is permitted to run on, so long
will men and women change as individuals from

go on finding, sooner or later, that they are no

is today WEAKNESS and what may today be en-

able.

l am thinking of case that came under my

that we who see the marriages our friends con-

the Time factor that enters into every human

Tourists from all sections of the

feeding in wheat and alfalfa fields
on the estate of r. r. M. Carpent-

near the Bohemia river bridge.
Hundreds of tourists view the five

PLAN ON TRIAL
P. S. DUPONT Says People
Could Make State Sale
Issue at Polls in 1884
HEARS ID E L E G A I o n

Pierre S. dupont, State liquor
commissioned last week intimated
that if the experience of the next
year with the licensed liquor sale
system is bad, the adoption Of the
Rockefeller, or other plan for
State sale, might well be brought
forward for public decision at the
polls in Delaware. Mr.. DUPONT
explained the present system,
which will be operative after De
cember 5, is in effect on probation,
and it's record Of obedience to law
and orderliness during the next
year, should provide the public
with material for judgment Mr..
dupont and Alexander ]. Taylor,
executive secretary of the Com
mission, heard pleas by a group of
citizens for consideration of the
establishment of the Rockefeller
plan of State stores for the retail
sale of spirits and wine. Previous
ly individuals had asked for con-
sideration of that and other plans
of liquor sale, but this was the
first time a delegation had pre-
scented a plan, according to Mr..
duPont's recollection. The group
which called at the Office of the
State Liquor Commission compris-
ed about 20 young men, most of
them university graduates. Some
of them said they were believers in
prohibition, others not so convinc-
ed, but all expressed themselves
DESTROYS of promoting temperance
in the most practical way possible
They asked that consideration be
given the Rockefeller Plan for the
present, or future in Delaware.
The group declared that abuses
will result unless the element of
private profit is eliminated from
the sale of liquor, and said that
they think the Rockefeller Plan Of
fers the best solution. Mr.. DUPONT
explained that while he personally
is convinced that the license sys-
tenn of private sale should be Civ
en- trial first, and that it is COM
pleted and ready to be placed in
in Delaware, especially
as the State Legislature provided

TRACTORS DO
ROAD DAMAGE
Highway Department Will
Prosecute Those Using
Lugs on Wheels
TWO FARMERS FINED

The drivers of tractors with un-
protected wheels on State High
ways may expect immediate pun
ishment for road damage inflicted
according to Chief Engineer w. w.
Mack, in commenting on the fining
of two Kent county farmers for
the careless driving on roadways
with unprotected Jugs on their ma
chimes. At time when many of
the present gravel roads are being
changed to bituminous treated
surfaces, attention is called by Mr..
Mack to the Importance of avoid
ing damage to this type of road.
Unprotected Jugs may cut through
the oiled surface chipping up the
crust and with other vehicles
throwing out the loosened pieces
as they pass over it, a retreatment
of the highway for the entire dis
lance Is often necessary. Practi-
cally all manufacturers Of tractors
are now in position to furnish
bands and other devices SO that
tractors can be operated without
damage to the roadways. Flat
pieces of iron used as cleats are
also possible, providing they are
broad enough to sustain the
weight of the tractor without
making indentations in the road
surface. In crossing concrete
roads from one field to another
Mr.. Mack advises that planks be
used as runway from one should

lection the edges of the concrete

operation in the protection of the
highways but there are OCCASION
ally those who infiict needless
damage and it is these that are
being warned of the consequences
whenever such unprotected NOV
ing of tractors are found. The law
provides that tractors shall not be
moved at a greater rate of speed
than three miles an hour, this vio-
lation also tends toward damage
and is being properly watched for.

USE IN COLORFUL CARDS

Hundreds Of persons from all
parts Of the Delmarva Peninsula.
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, New
York and Virginia were greeted
on the Indian River, byl dwir-
Thanksgiving Day at River Dale
Park on Indian River. by Chief
Little Owl, president Of the Nanti-
coke Indian Association on the oc-
casion of the annual Thanksgiving
Day Pow-wow of the descendants
of the once powerful Nanticoke
tribe. River Dale Park is on the
Indian River, 16 miles from
Georgetown Chief Little Owl,
known in private life as Charles C.
Clark, is a lineal descendant of the
original inhabitants of the lower
part of Delaware and the Eastern
Shore of Maryland The visitors
began to arrive early and gathered
in the grove in the rear of the
home of the chief and from there
marched to the scene of the cere-
monies. The Braves were daub-
ed with war paint and CARRIED
in the colorful headdress of the
tribe, their clothing decorated with
bright beads and beating tom
toms, pranced about the roped off
circle where the ceremonies took
place. Women in their native
garb of soft white doe skin and
some with papooses strapped to
their backs gave vivid picture of
the days long since gone, when the
ceremonial rites carried a more
complete significance than is CON
tanned at present. The ceremonies
opened when Chief Little Owl, at
tired in his full ceremonial regalia,
offered prayer to the Sun God.
After the invocation the pipe Of
peace was passed around to those
seated at the council fire which
was lighted in the centre Of the
circle. In the group were visiting
Indians from other cities who are
descendants of the Nanticokes.
Following the pipe of peace the
dance began, the first being the
welcome dance, followed in success
sion by the great, round, harvest,
pipe, green corn, square, duck,
snake, turkey, squaw papoose,
scalp, lead, Nanticoke and fare
well. These dances were gone
through with the true fervor of
the Indian and were followed with
deep interest by the spectators.
At the conclusion of these cere-
monies the guests and members
of the tribe, led by Chief Little
Owl, returned to the home of the
chief where tables laden with food
were set out under the trees where
the feasting started. Enormous
quantities of food had been pre-
pared and consisted of turkeys,
chickens, ducks, geese, white and
candied sweet potatoes, corn pone,
creamed potatoes, cranberries, cell
cry, Gamer fruit and pickles of all
kinds, and pumpkin pie. Different
families of the tribe spent many
hours preparing the food in their
homes and later carrying it to the
scene of the festivities on the res
ervation of Chief Little Owl. Dur
