Is Rural Schools Had Courses
Last Year, Reports of DIR.
r. w. Helm Show
FUTURE FARMERS GROW

Fifteen high schools in rural Del
aware had courses in vocational
agriculture during the last school
year, the largest number yet, ac-
cording to the annual report of DR..
r. w. Helm, State director of vo-
cational education. Rapid expan-
sion of the work is disclosed in the
report which has just been submit
ted to the State Board of Educa-
ton and the Federal government,
which supplies most of the funds.
There are AL students enrolled for
the work this year, and the num-
ber is expected to increase. Extra
instruction was given last year to
644 students now working on the
farms. The enrolment last year
was 164 more than the previous
year. DR.. Helm pointed out. The
Future Farmers of America grew
rapidly during the year, he disclos-
ed. New chapters were formed at
Lewes and the Lord Baltimore
School, making IA chapters with
494 members. Shop work improved
during the year, he said. At several
schools where there are separate
shops, boys brought in large pieces
of farm machinery for repair. Dis
cussing present needs, Mr.. Helm
hailed the fact that the teaching
load of agriculture teachers has de-
creased until only 35 per cent of
their time is devoted to academic
subjects, but he emphasized that
this should be further decreased.

AWARD PARADE PRIZES

Smyrna Firemen brought their
Street Carnival to a close late
Monday night. Labor Day, with a
number of anxious persons re-
naming up to a late hour to hear
who was to win the Ford Sport
Model Automobile. AS has been
the case the last several years, the
lucky number was drawn by an
out-of-town man. This year it
fell to the good fortune of Mr.. H.
M .Figgatt. a salesman, 827 Market
Street, Wilmington. There were
many girls and boys in town who
were disappointed it did not come
their way The winner of the
Electric Refrigerator was Cove
Campbell, manager of the meat
department in the American Stores
Company Store in Smyrna. There
were no ground prizes awarded on
Monday night The winners for
Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and
Saturday of last week were as fol-
lows: Wednesday night, Roy john
son, Jr., Smyrna, a chair; Thurs
day night, Miss Geneva Pryor, near
Smyrna, a chair; Friday night,
Mrs. James Patterson, Smyrna, a
studio couch; Saturday night, Lee
Jones, Kenton. chair. With the
exception of some threatening
weather Monday, the last night,
Smyrna firemen cannot complain
of the weather. 1t was cool, clear
and delightful practically every
night. While there was a good at
tendance generally speaking, there
was not the crowd of former years
yet everybody had a good time. 1t
is too early yet to know just what
the net receipts of the carnival
will be, but it will be less than last
year. The receipts this year will
show, it is said, between S4 500
and $4,000. What they will clear
out of this will not be known until
after all bills are in and paid. One
of the big nights of carnival was
Thursday night, the annual Fire
mems Parade Night. There were
only six visiting Fire Companies in
line, less than half of former years.
This falling off was not only with
the visiting fire companies but the
attendance as well. In former
years the crowd used to figure
from six to eight thousand. This
year it was less than half How
over, the parade went off to the
tune of two bands. The parade
was led off by Smyrna and its
band. followed by Clayton, Dover,
Middletown, Milford, Millington,
! (Md), Cheswold, and Hartly Mil
ford received a prize of SO for the
greatest number of uniformed men
in line. Dover received $40 for the
best appearance; Millington receiv-
ed $40 for coming the longest dis
tance and Middletown $500 for
having the best band in line. The
! judges of the parade were: Lieut.
Governor r. F. Corley, Edward T
Porter and William E. Nowlan
Friday night, the Kent County
Band honored the Carnival with
their appearance and gave a free
concert that was warmly applaud
ed and much enjoyed. One of the
pleasing exhibits at the Carnival
was that of the Mosquito Control
Commission of which Col. w. S
Corkran, a native Smyrnian, is the
executive officer. The exhibit here
was by Mr.. Long and showed in q
most instructive way what the

In Capital
Fight Over Convention
Site Averted by
Republicans.

BY PAUL MALLON.
~ ULLEST washington meeting
since Congress adjourned was
the Republican National
- Committee gathering. Some
faces were old, some new, but the
speeches were all old. Do not let that
fool you.
Lack Of interest was due to the
fact that the real meeting was held
ahead of time with a wise disregard
for publicity. The boys got together
the night before. An incipient con-
vention site contention between Chi
cago's Frank Knox and Kansas City's
Alf Landon was amicably settled by
choosing everybody's Cleveland.
The story Is that Landon's sup
porters decided not to press the
site point on such personal grounds,
and pulled their punches. Thct
may or may not be true.
The point is personalities we're SUBJ
dued in a situation involving such per-
sonalities as Messrs. Hoover, Borah
Knox and Landon.
Farm March Feared.
The whispered reason why the big
wigs turned Kansas City down is that
they were afraid of another farm
march on the convention. There was
a minor one there back in 1928. AT
that time, the radicals got together
and annoyed Reed Smoot's patform
committee. The inner councils sus-
.pected that a repetition Of the 1925
incident might be organized on g
larger scale this time. At any rate
it was q worry.

it was q worry

Similarly, there was some fear that
the Kelly-Nash administration in Chi
cago might put firecrackers in the
seats of delegates, If the convention
went there.
These fears helped to make the
Cleveland decision easy.
Knox Linked to Vandenberg
Plentiful Knox advisers at the pri-
vate Republican gab-feast were ad-
vising him two ways. They said he
was making too many speeches; also
that they were glad to have some
one coming into their districts with
pep talks.
Much discussion centered around
what that might mean when the bal
loting starts.

The Governor Of Kansas will keep
on being that. His men here laughed
off the pressure put upon them to
make him take q stand on every pass
ing national issue of the day-bonus,
the A. A. A, and other matters which
may be settled elsewhere before the
campaign starts. They seemed to
detect that the heat on them came
indirectly from the hands of Mr..
Hoover and Senator Borah.
