Onions Advance Slowly
Prices of onions show small fur
tier gains. Supplies are moderate
but demand continues slow in near
ly all eastern markets. Price range
for yellow stock is 75c to 81 per so
pounds in the East and Csc to 90C
in the Middle West. White and red
onions have not fully shared the ad-
vance on yellow stock. Massachus-
etts yellow onions sell around soc
in Boston.
Celery markets weakened a little
in western New York after the mid
die of November despite the light
production and storage holdings.
Heavy supplies from California have
slowed down the demand. Cold stor-
age celery sells from $1.75 to So per
two-thirds crate in the Rochester
district, and from $1.75 to $3.50 in
eastern city markets. Michigan cell
cry reached top of $2.6S in Boston.
California half-crates sell from 50 to
$3.50 in eastern and midwestern cit
les.
Apple Markets Fairly Steady
Prices of apples are being well
maintained at the higher level
reached after. the end of the season.
Supplies are moderate and demand
reported slow in nearly all markets.
Yorks from cold storage bring $1.20
a bushel and $3.50 barrel at ship
ping points in the Shenandoah Val
ley. Large Yorks reached $3.75 in
New York. Sales of fair to medium
grade Yorks from various sources
are quoted from 75c to S1.10 per
bushel in eastern cities. Delicious
reached top of $1.65 in Baltimore
and a few other markets and Stay
mans and Mcintosh $3.50. For
Greetings SIPS was about top in
eastern markets. New England Bald
wins ranged 75c to 81 bushel. Dull,
slow markets prevailed in western
New York producing sections. Bald
wins and Ben Davis sold there at
soc a bushel. Firm conditions pre-
vailed at country shipping points in
western Michigan at $1.15 to $1.25
for Spy, Jonathan and Delicious.

CONGRESSMAN
OPPOSES new
SUPREME COURT
[Continued from First Pagr1

/ f-NfNNN :
Amendment has had the support OF
the Buck Administrator at two reg
ular sessions of the General Assem-
bly,, the one held in 1881 and the
other in 1888. 1t is to be noted that
every Republican member of both
House and Senate in those Sessions
voted for the Amendment. 1t was
with the aid of fourteen Democratic
members of the 1881 Session that
the necessary constitutional number
(two-thirds) was secured. Since 1881
however, the Democratic State Com
mittee has met and almost unani-
mously registered its disapproval of
this Amendment. l am convinced
that by reason of it being brought
before the people by Democratic
speakers who talked against 1t in the
last campaign that it contributed in
no small degree to the election of
many of the present members of the
House and Senate.
when it was voted upon at the
General Session in 1888, 1t failed to
receive the necessary constitutional
House. 1t is my opinion that it was
thereby killed and is now beyond
resurrection. 1t is also my opinion
that had it been adopted at the Cen
eral Session in 1888, it could not
now be brought up and rejected but
having been brought up at the regu-
lar session and rejected, it cannot
h,.AK.arhf nd
However, without going into the
constitutional question respecting
its present status, am more firmly
convinced than at any time hereto-
fore that a new Supreme Court is
not needed in Delaware and its Gre
alton would saddle unnecessary and
needless expense upon the taxpay-
ers of this State at time when they
are not able to bear additional bur-
dens. I am more convinced than ever
that the real Democrats of the State
are against it and are looking to
their Representative in this Legis-
lature to register their disapproval
of its creation.
"If this Constitutional Amendment
Is HOW Cdllcu up lOl q fOtCg hOl OC
misled by few politicians and lob
byists. If you voted against it at the
General Session, would most insis-
tently urge you to stand firm and
not waiver. Vote now as you did
then. If you voted for it at the Cen
eral Session, 1 beseech you to vote
against it now and ! cite and refer
you to the address made by Cover
nor Buck at the opening of this spe-
cial session at which time he told
you of the States present financial
condition which was anything but
reassuring. Moreover, it is not with
in the preview of the legislation for
the adoption of which this special
session was called. 1t is foreign to
the subjects set out by the Governor
in his proclamation.
Il am addressing you as Demo-
Gratis having the interests of the
Democratic party at heart. am of
the belief that the adoption of this
amendment will work to the detri-
ment of our party in the next cam
paign."

West Virginia, black on yellow.
With the new year. at least thir-
ty-four states will change their col
or combinations, either by adopting
new shades or by switching the
numeral and background hues. In
all there will be twenty-six differ
ent color motifs flashing along Am
erican roads, number of them, of
course, duplicating those of other
states.
The colors run to shades both gay
and somber. One may see. for ex-
ample, the brilliant white on wine
of Wyoming trailing or being trail
ed by the conservative black and
white of Florida. Pennsylvania, as
always, retains blue and gold. In
1884, however, the gold will be on
the background instead of on the
numerals as at present,

ALFALFA INCREASED
In KENT COUNTY
[CoHfinaed from Ftn PageJ

L6bAhtHAca JfOHt EHst U9cl
tribution surveys are made each
year through the local dealers and
distributors. These surveys have in
dicated that these dealers are car
rying in stock good grades OF alfal-
ia seed of the western and north
western strains and varieties which
are the kinds that are being recon-
mended by the extension service for
this section of the United States.
In checking up the results of this
project this fall in Kent county it
was surprising to learn of the slight
increase in acreage seeded over that
of last year. AS the result of the ag-
ricultural conditions throughout the
country and the shortage. of money
among the farmers with which to
purchase seed, the alfalfa acreage
during the past three years has not
been as large as it was for four
years following the beginning of
this campaign in 1927.
According to these seed distribu-
tion surveys, there were 73S acres
of alfalfa sown in Kent county this
year, as compared to SIS acres in
1882, S5S acres in 1881, 1895 acres
in 1880, 1886 acres in 1929, 1920
acres in 1928, and 1888 acres in 1927,
resulting in a 7-year average of 994
acres for the entire county.
Regardless of our economic con-
ditions, there has been a strong ten
dency for farmers to turn to alfalfa
as a profitable feed crop in this
county, and when the financial stat
us of the farmers throughout this
area has been improved it is ex-
pected that larger acreage of this
legume will be seeded as a part of
the program for the raising of more
homegrown feeds for livestock.
The chief expense in growing al
faifa is incurred at the time of
seeding, but after the crop has be-
come we'll established the cost of
producing this hay crop is lower
than the majority of other farm
crops in comparison with the value
received per acre.

some time, and suddenly the gun dis
appeared. Years later it was disclos-

forestall any demonstration at the
time Abraham Lincoln was re-elect-

FREDERICK

A beautiful musical service was
held in Trinity NJ. e. Church on
Sunday. Rev. N. c. Benson, the pas
tor, had planned this musical treat
as a Thanksgiving service. This an
nual setting a part of Thanksgiving
Day is a beautiful national custom
and its religious and social observ-
ance are interchangeable. 1t has
been said that Thanksgiving is
Thanksgiving" This is the day when
the family rallies from far and near
to gather at the old home for re-
union and the feast first introduced
by our Pilgrim forefathers. A con-
secrated expression of the thank
full spirit is through sacred music,
when one can listen quietly in the
exalted atmosphere and give rever-
ent attention and devotion.
The morning program by the
choir and the Frederick orchestra;
Mrs. l.. l.. Carlisle, organist; Mrs.
w. H. Person, pianist; Clarence Per-
son and George R. Miller, Jr., vio-
linists; Joseph Flanagan played the
trombone and Mr.. Peat the clarinet.
The following delightful program
was given:
Farewell to the Flowers" a rev.
erie by R. E. Hildreth.
Dawn" ny Vannah.
For Thee" by Vannah.
There were special selections by
the choir. Every minute was thor
oughly enjoyable.
The evening program was greatly
enriched by the playing of Kenneth
Faulkner, organist of the Presby-
terian Church of Milford. 1t was
genuine treat to hear him play. The
program follows:
Organ, march from "Athalia,"
Mendelssohn.
Organ, Andante from Fifth Sym
phony," Beethoven.
Piano and organ, Pilgrim chorus
from "Tannhaueser," Wagner.
Scripture reading and prayer, Rev.
N. c. Benson.
Organ, "Chanson de Joie," Hail
ing.

Organ, Ave Maria" Shubert.
Violin, "Chanson Triste," Stachow-
sky.

Symphony" Dvorak.
Hymn.
Benediction.
Organ postlude, Gloria from 18TH
Mass" Mozart.
hn mis-
her son, Clarence Person, the vio-
linist, for the evening service.
The church supper in the school
auditorium last Friday night was a
social and financial success. Mrs.
Albert W. Boone, chairman and her
capable committees are to be con-
graduated for the preparation of the
delicious menu.
Frederick is noted for good cooks
and Mrs. Boone is known through
out the State for her delicious chic
ken salad as she has catered for
many suppers in which salad fig
lres prominently.
The dining room, lighted by or
1nge candies and filled with many
friends from a distance resembled a
real Thanksgiving party from the
that prevailed. The en-
ire service in the dining room and
kitchen was excellent.
Cooperation is the keynote of
success in affairs of this kind.

GRANDMA'S
SCRAP BOOK

Whose feet toe in, while his elbows
flare;
Whose knees are patched all ways,
Who turns as red as lobster when
You give him a word of praise
A boy who's born with an appetite,
Who seeks the pantry shelf
To eat his "piece" with resounding
smack
Who isn't gone on himself.
A Robinson Crusoe" reading boy.
Whose pockets bulge with trash;
Who knows the use of rod and gun,
And where the brook trout splash.
It's true he'll sit in the easiest chair,
With his hat on his tousled head;
That his hands and feet are every
where,
For youth must have room to
spread.
But he doesn't dub his father "old
man."
Nor deny his mothers call,
Nor ridicule what his elders say,
Or thinks that he knows it all
A rough and wholesome natural boy
OF good old-fashioned clay;
God bless him, if he's still ON earth,
For he'll make a man some day.
