GAME GROUP TO MEET
Election of Officers and Year.
Program to Be Discussed


Announcement has been made
by John P. Parsons, of Seaford
secretary and treasurer of the
Delaware Game and Fish Protec-
tive Association that the annual
meeting of that organization will
be held Monday evening, October
80, at 7.3O o'clock, in the Kent
county court room, Dover Green.
The meeting promises to be of I'M
usual interest because of the an
nual election of officers and con-
sideration of program for the
coming year. The association dur
ing its first year has developed a
strong membership and now plans
to devote its efforts toward organ
izing chapters such as has been SO
well carried out in Wilmington,
with special effort made to estab-
fish chapters, or individual COM
munity branches in all of the
towns throughout the State. Of
ficials of the association state that
there has never been greater
need for the sportsmen-the gun
ners, fishermen and those who fol-
low each branch of out-of-door
sports to get together and work
not only to protect the game now
in Delaware but to exert every eff
fort to increase it.

WHEAT DEAL UP
FOR APPROVAL
Applications For Allotment
Contracts To Be Sent to
Secretary of Agriculture
PAYMENTS TO FOLLOW

Those wheat growers in Kent
and Sussex counties who have
signed applications for wheat al
lotment contracts will be interest
ed to know that their applications
are now in the possession Of their
district committees for correc-
tions and approval before these
papers are returned to the county
allotment committee for final APP
prevail, and this work is being
conducted as rapidly as time will
permit The allotment committee
Of the Kent and Sussex County
Wheat Production Control Asso-
citation consists of r. Harry Will
son, president; Robert a. Carton
and 9. Arthur Taylor, who were
elected to this position at the or
ganization meeting which was
held in the Kent county extension
Office on September %. If all
those wheat growers who have
signed applications had filled out
their papers correctly with all the
information which is necessary to
make them complete in every de-
tail in accordance with the Fed
eral regulations, the work Of the
district committees would have
been made easier, and much time
could have been saved in correct
ing the papers previous to their
being turned over to the county
allotment committee. All of this
additional work upon the part of
the district committees has great
ly delayed the completion of this
project, but every effort is being
expended by those in charge of
this wheat campaign to finish the
work just as soon as possible in
order that the benefit payments
may be received from the govern
ment. 1t has been announced by
Secretary of Agriculture Henry
A Wallace that no payments will
be made to the wheat growers in
any one county until all the allot-
ment contracts from that county
have been approved and accepted.
After these allotment contracts
have been signed by the wheat
they will be forwarded
to the Secretary of Agriculture
for his approval, and the premium
will be issued to those
wheat farmers whose contracts
have been accepted by the Federal
In the meantime
those growers who have applied
for allotment contracts may pro-
coed to sow an acreage of wheat
this fall which will be Is per cent
less than their average acreage
for the three base period years of
1880, 1881 and 1882, according to
Kent County Agent Russell EVIL
son, who is the wheat administra-
tor for Kent county, and secretary
of the Association. 1t is not re-
quired that each applicant seed
the entire allotted acreage, but at
Least 81 percent of the average
acreage for the base period years
must be seeded.

Negligence Causes
Local Presidents
To Be Fined

1t has become my duty to fine and
suspend a few of our local presidents
for negligence OF duty. We have some
local president who, instead of making
their reports on time, have waited
from five to fifteen days to make their
reports. Such action On the part Of our
president is detrimental to the mem
bers wo follow them If deaths were to
occur among said members they would
have trouble in collecting on said
deaths. 1t is the duty of all presidents
to make their financial report on or
before the date designated for the
Board to meet If nobody except the
president pays, the report should be
made. We have some presidents who
are not reporting quarterly for some
members who have receipts to show
that they have turned their moneys
over to their president. Brethren, we
are going to be very exact from now
on. If you fail to do your duty we
must impose a fine on you. You are
notified early enough to make your
report On time. Several of the presi-
ident until their president gets straight.

fined and have not reported the fine
their names are being published else

TO PREACH AT COURT HOUSE
HEALTH TOPICS
(By DR.. William E. Miller)
CATCHING DISEASES

Much of the sickness we have is caught
from someoneelse. This is particularly
true of children Many diseases are due
10 grnis that are thrown into the air
when sick persons cough or sneeze.
These germs also may he disseminated
or spread by ordinary talking. Some
people when they talk throw spit drop
lets four feet, some impressive takers
who delight in getting close to a per-
son are menances to the public'a
health and welfare. The germs we
breathe in attack our bodies, and if we
are run down for any reason, we cannot
resist the germs, thus we become i'll.
Children catch diseases more readily
and sooner than adults because their
bodies are less resistant to germs and
also because they take no sanitary mea-
sures to prevent catching diseases, put
ting everything into their mouths, COM
ing in close contact with each other
and interchanring toys. Disease germs
entering a childs body find suitable
place to grow and throw off their
poisons and thus cause sickness. The
fever, the cough, the headache, and
the other symptom that occur during
an illness are all due to the poisons
that the germs make in the body.
When one understands about germs
and how they act, the reason for keep
ing the body in good condition, and
for being careful when around sickness
people is quite clear. The chief cat
ching diseases are tuberculosis, pneu-
monia, colds, influenza, typhoid fever,
certain skin diseases and the common
diseases of childhood. Thus in order
to keep from catching diseases it pays
us to keep our bodies in the best of
condition.
