How times change. Only 10 years ago
gold was so cheap that gold mining had ceas-
ed to pay. And now gold is so dear that gold
mining is enjoying regular boom. And still
the price of gold hasn't changed at all. The

Cold is the only thing that doesn't change.

II tbs bankers Of the United
States are interested in making
gold from their financial invest
ments there can be no surer way
than to extract the gold itself
from the earth. The average per-
son is forced to the opinion that
they are more interested In in
vesting the funds under their
control In projects which pay
them a huge commission rather
than In something which guar
antees q sure return.
Gold mining Is no more a

Ter to locate gold than oil and

veloped into a scientific industry

every country in the world
known to exist is frantically
pushing It's development. Re-
ports from Canada, South Afri-
ca. Australia and Russia show
the bankers of those countries
organizing new developments In
their gold fields. In August. Ca
NADIA increased its gold output
by fifteen per cent and the bank
ers to the north OF US are con-
centrating their efforts in the
extraction Of this precious metal.
Africa, which is Jointly owned
by England, France. Belgium
and Holland and which produces
half OF the worlds supply Is be- /
ing exploited by money from
those countries.
Practically every one OF our
western states and Alaska are
tssming with gold. Washington,
Oregon. Colorado. Idaho, Mon
tana, Utah, Nevada. California.
Arizona and New Mexico are fill
ed with this precious metal.
While the bankers OF the re-
Of the world have been
speeding up production the IL
Of the United States
have turned deaf ears toward

gold In the United States has
increased every year until last

Milford Board of Health Warns
Merchants ON Exposure to Flies

The Milford Board of Health,
through the City Council has or
dered the merchants of Milford in
all parts of Milford not to display
fruits or vegetables on the outside
Of their stores where they will be
exposed to flies or other insects.
Some weeks ago an ordinance was
passed by Milford Council that
prohibited the merchants on Wal
nut street, the main business
street of Milford, from displaying
any merchandise on the sidewalk.
After the enforcement of this pro
vision some fruit and other articles
were displayed in doorways on
Walnut street and on benches in
front of stores in other parts Of
the city. The new ordinance pro-
hibits the display of fruits or ber-
ries anywhere in the city limits.
The last ordinance practically
washed up" the display of mer-
chandise of any character on the
streets of Milford. The police of
Milford notified the merchants of
such action Wednesday.

The watermelon, cantaloupe and

year are indicated to be smaller
than last year, although in the two
former crops the acreage is larger
than last year, according to Rich
ard c. Ross, federal agricultural
statistician for Delaware. The
yield of pantaloupes this year is
estimated at 3O8,O0O crates com
pared to $4,000 last year Crow
ers report that early paintings

er in June Delaware watermelon
growers expect to harvest a crop
of about 2O3, 900 melons this year,
which will be nearly IS per cent
smaller than last, which was 238,-
600 melons. Statistics from the
same source show that production
of tomatoes grown in Delaware for
shipment to market is expected to
be about $4,000 bushels, compared
with 25,000 bushels harvested in
1882, with about the same acre
age, but an average yield per acre

CHECK SALES
OF GASOLINE
New Law Which Went Into
Effect July 1st, Aimed
at BOOtleggers
RIGID RULES IMPOSED

Delaware's new gasoline law
which went into effect July 1, is
destined to be of untold benefit to
the State and retail dealers and
will, in a great measure, put out of
business gasoline "bootleggers," ac-
cording to State Treasurer George
S. Williams. Under the new law,
each person desiring to sell gaso-
line must secure a permit, the
price of which is 81 year. AL
ready 234 permits have been issued
for Sussex county, 211 for Kent
and 268 for New Castle county.
Under the new law, State depart
ments and subsidiaries must make
a monthly report of the gasoline
used and a similar report is made
by the seller of the gasoline, both
reports must tally as to the sales
and receipts. The 90 distributors
in the State take out license and
must furnish bond of from $4,000
to $4,000 according to the amount
Of gasoline handled and a penalty
is provided if report is not made
promptly That advantage has
been taken of the State in the re-
port of gasoline charges in order
to get refunds is said to be evident
BY the amount paid out in 1881 in
refunds, the amount being $4,000.
In 1882, this amount was decreas-
ed bv S14,7OO. Under the new law
each person selling gasoline must
keep a daily record of the quantity
of gasoline sold. 1t has been
known that in some instances per-
sons have purchased gasoline at a
low figure where they have their
own tank and have it filled on the
premises, and yet in making a re-
port have alleged to have purchas-
ed gasoline at stations where they
had to pay more than they paid
for having their own tank filled at
home and in making application
for refund, the price paid at the
gasoline station has been the
amount charged in the report.

Enforcement programs" are be

in New Jersey and Pennsylvania,

torists this week by the Delaware
Automobile Association, A. NJ. A.
TT is well for motorists to observe
safety regulations in all commun-
tiles" said Linnaeus L. Hopes,
Executive Secretary, of the Asso-
citation, "and thus avoid trouble in
places where the enforcement has
become stringent. In various
towns, particular emphasis is be
ing placed on reducing the speed
of motor vehicles. While motor
lists are not held strictly to the 20
mile speed limit, they are expect
ed to show consideration for
townsfolk by driving with care,
and at a speed considerably under
the 40 mile maximum for open
road driving. Other enforcement
activities are centered about Thru
stop streets and roads. Many
accidents have been due to failure
of drivers to stop before entering
main highways, and police activity
in this respect is aimed to insure
safety of heavily Travelled roads" "
Delaware motorists sojourning in
Massachusetts may obtain, with
out cost, a permit to operate be-
yond the 30-day limit fixed by law
for non-residents by applying to
the Registrar of Motor Vehicles
for extension of the privilege and
