places but since many tax
payers are not down town to
see these posters, Appeal Day
passed with a majority of
property owners unaware of a
time set to make appeals if
they had really desired to.
Usually Town Council order
Appeal Day notice inserted in
the town paper, but even this
was not done this year. A
considerable number of Smyr-
ma property owners are wo-
men and some of these live out
of town. These never see the
posted notices nor have any
other way Of knowing Appeal
Day dates except by the town
paper. Council therefore
should make known the Ap-
peal Days and Discount Days
thru said town paper to give
everybody an opportunity to
avail themselves of these sit
tings, if they so desire. The
newspaper publication of
these notices is one way for
Town Council to play square
with the taxpayers and
an oversight or not,
should be better and more
Systematically attended to.

most enjoyable affair from every
standpoint. The decorations were
beautiful, the color scheme was
purple and green, with beautiful
candle labres adjoining the tables.
This large group of young people
sitting about the tables under the
soft candle light with happy faces
and dainty gowns made a beauti-
full sight. Songs were sung by
groups and in full chorus and for
one and one-half hours the young
people made merry about the fes-
tive board after which they ad
journed to the rehearsal period to
complete preparation of the Moth

Sunday morning. This choir is one
of the big assets to the life of As

from the fact of the service they

tential wheat acreage is still cap
abe of producing a burdensome
surplus. The world wheat situa-
tion has shown little improvement
since the spring of 1923, and world
prices are still very low with an
extremely limited export market.
Largely because Of the short crop
of 1888, the carry-over of wheat on
July L, 1884 had been reduced TO
20O,O0O,000 bushels from the all
time high production carry-over of
393,000,000 bushels the previous
year. 1t is anticipated, therefore,
that with more than ordinary feed
ing of wheat to livestock during
the current year, the carry-over on
July 1, 1885 will be approximately
13O,0OO,0OO bushels, which under
present conditions is not regarded
as too great a surplus for this
country.

PET CAT KILLS 1000 RATS
Was a Read Pied Piper With a
Five Year Record

Shelby, Ohio.-This city lays
claim to a feline "Pied Piper" which
during the last five years has killed
an estimated 1000 rats.
His name is Pal, and he is q
five-year-old cat belonging to Ar
thur Allwine, barber shop propri-
etor.
Little is known of Pals lineage,
but he is mostly tiger, with a bit
Of angora. which accounts for the
fact that he has attained a weight
Of IL pounds.
''Since the time he was a kit
ten I've kept track of the rats he's
killed. l couldn't tell exactly the
number he hunted down, but accord
ing to my estimated figures, it's
around 2,OOO," Allwine said.
His average has been two or
three q day. or about six or eight
a week.
"He eats them all, too. No milk
diet for him. Except for a dimes
worth Of hamburg once a week,
he seems to want no more food"
Allwine said. "On Saturday, though.
he wants his hamburg. 1t may
sound like exaggeration, but on
Saturday evening he comes into the
shop and won't give me any peace
until buy the meat for him"
Pal also. unlike other cats, has a
fondness for small dogs. He was
raised with a small terrier.

arrangements have been made by
County Agent Russell E. Wilson IN
cooperation with the officers and
district committeeman of the Kent
and Sussex county Wheat Produc-
ton Control Association for a ser
les of six community meetings to
be held during the week of May 13.
AS this phase of the crop control
program vitally affects the possible
trends of our agricultural outlook
for the future, every wheat grower
should plan to attend one of these
community meetings at which the
proposed wheat program of the
Federal government will be ex-
planned. Each meeting will be at
500 in the evening, and the sched-
ule is as follows: Tuesday, May ID,
Fire Hal in Smyrna; Wednesday,
May Is, Capital Grange Hall in
Dover; Thursday, May 16, Trophy
Grange Hall in FELTON,; Friday, May
II, Public School Building in Ken
ton; Saturday, May 18, Grange
Hall in Milford; oMnday, May 20.
Grange Hall in Harrington. In
considering the extension of this
wheat control program, the atten-
ton of all wheat farmers is called
TO the fact that two short crops
and the adjustment program have
reduced the surplus of wheat in the
United States to the extent that by
July I, 1885 the carry-over is ex-
pected to be down to normal The
consumption of wheat in this coun-
try is relatively stable. and the po-

nOunces Mothers Day Services

A mothers influence is the great
est influence that can be exercised
upon any person. Over a genera
tion ago young school teacher
named Martha Campbell had her
heart fired with love for a lost
world, and zeal for Christ's last
command. She was not permitted
to go to the foreign field herself,
but when she became a mother
every one of her children were con-
Secrated to the Lord. That humble
woman became the mother of Will
bert w. White, who founded the
Bible Teachers Training School in
New York, and the editor of the
Bible Magazine; of ]. Campbell
White, who largely organized the
Layman's Missionary Movement
and was it's first General Secre-
tary; of Mrs. John r. Mott, whose
husband is perhaps the best known
figure in the missionary world, the
president of the Worlds Mission
ary Conference in Edinburgh; of
Mrs. w. r. Stewart, who with her
husband was a missionary to
China; while the eldest daughter
was married to a minister who was
for many years a missionary in
frontier service in the great North
west. The influence of this mother
was felt around the world. Let us
come together in the house of God
on the Sabbath to praise God for
the blessing of a Mother 80 The

The Philadelphia Society
Sons of Delaware, have decid-
ed to make their annual pill
grimage to Delaware this year
with Dover, our State Capital,
as its mecca. Saturday next,
May IL, is "Dover Day." on
which occasion colonial build
ings and pretty gardens of the
capital will be thrown open for
the inspection Of the public.
The visit of itself is an event
of Importance. Because of its
coinciding with the Dover
demonstration this year, it as
sumes added Importance.
mot for some time" says
the Morning News, "has this
Philadelphia group of former
DelawareanS made a visit to
lower Delaware, especially to
Dover. Very likely many of
the members have not been
there for fifteen or twenty
years. If there be any in this
classification, they will marvel
at the public improvements
that have been made since
they last saw the capital.
"Among other things, they
will find Loockerman street,
long blocked by the postoffice,
cut through; the Legislative
Building, a new structure, oc-
cupying a vantage site east Of
the State House; a new post
office, a new municipal build
ing, and a fine layout of
streets and parkways east Of
State street, where until re-
Gently there was little more
than farm land. And, what's
more, these Philadelphians
will find a hearty welcome
from Mayor J. Wallace Wood
ford and his fellow-citizens Of
Dover, upon the invitation of
whom the visit is to be made.
"The Sons Of Delaware is
an organization Of former Del
awareans living in Philadel-
phia and that vicinity. While
the chief object Of the organ
ization is to promote and
maintain friendly relations
among the members and their
families, another purpose is to
keep in touch with the home
folks and the home state. This
latter object is accomplished
through these annual pilgrim
ages to some point in Della
ware, where an enjoyable day
in May is experienced once a

The case of Djalal, the Iranian
