RACE VISITING
 HERE FOR WEEK
Good Fishing Season Loom ing, Says Owner of
 Drug Stores

Harry R. Race, proprietor of drug stores in Ketchikan and Juneau, ar rived from Ketchikan on the Alas ka for a visit of about week. Fred Welch, clerk in the Juneau store, is now in Ketchikan and will be in charge of the store there until MT. Races return. es
 As usual at this time of year, Ket- chikan is quiet, MT. Race said, but everything indicates a good fishing season this year. Halibut fishermen expect that the coming season will be the best for long time Halibut fishing was very good just before the close of the season last year, he said, and the fact that the season ended before the allotment of 46 million pounds had been taken may react in favor of better prices.
 Many fishermen have their out tits on the beach for repairs, and are working on their gear in preparation for next season, MT. Rase said.

Harvey was one of six children of Robert and Anna Hope Harvey After attending Buffalo Academy, he began teaching school at Is, then took up the study of law and was admitted to practice before he was 21. He gained some promi- hence as a lawyer in West VIrg-nla and also established offices in Chi cago and Cleveland. Tn 1884 he went to Colorado and engaged in the real estate business.
 Interested in finance and for a dong time a close student of the sub ject, he turned to writing upon it After publishing several volumes he abandoned that activity to re-enter the real estate business in Arkansas to which state he removed in 1900 There he interested himself in the Ozark territory in which he lived and in good roads. He attracted little attention, however, during the inter vening years until he disclosed his plans for the pyramid.
 In 1876 MT. Harvey married Miss anna H Halliday of Delaware. Ohio They had four children.
 His long search for Knowledge of prehistoric civiliza i ons and the causes of their downfall, gave MT. Harvey the idea of the pyramid. By it he hoped to prevent all trace of the present civilization from being lost. He visioned greed for power and money gradually carrying the world to destruction.
 Among other books, of which MT. Harvey was author. were Patriots of America. Coin on Money, Trusts and Imperialism. The Remedy, , and Common Sense"

SURPLUS IN ALL
FUNDS OF STATE
New Legislation Makes Un-
necessary Transfer of Money
to General Fund
TAXPAYERS BENEFIT

Several laws enacted by the last
session of the Legislature chang
ing the operation of several State
departments have aided the States
financial condition during the past
fiscal year. A survey of records in
the office of State Auditor j. Hen
ry Hazel reveals that all of the
various State funds will show a
balance and that it has not been
necessary for the States fiscal Of
ficers to make transfer of money
to the general fund under author
ity granted by the General Assem-
bly,. One of the reasons assigned
for the showing made in the gener-
al fund is the fact that the State
Liquor Commission has ben turn
ing into the State an average of
more than $4,000 each month.
Administration of the State Liquor
laws has resulted in a revenue
from that source that is greatly in
excess of estimates made when the
law went into effect. Transfer of
collection of the mercantile license
fees and inheritance tax to the
State Tax Department has resulted
in an increase in revenue from that
source, which is used by the gen
eral fund for general maintenance
of the State government. The last
legislature transferred expense of
the motor vehicle department from
the general fund to the highway
fund and thus aided the general
fund to meet other expenses. The
highway fund is receiving more
than $2,500,0O0 from the motor We
hicle department fees and gas tax.
While the legislature relieved coun-
ty taxpayers of the burden of
maintaining dirt roads by transfer
ring that work to the State High
way Department, at the same time
they gave the department addi-
tional revenue by adding one cent
to the gasoline tax This, with
other revenue, is permitting the
highway fund to close the year
with a balance, despite the fact
that the highway system faced
large additional maintenance costs
as the result of heavy transforms
and severe winter weather during
the fiscal year.

LOANS TO AID
THE FARMERS
Since October Nine Delaware
Farmers Have Been Boost
ed on Their Way
THEIR DEBTS REDUCED

Rehabilitation loans will enable
many farmers who were already
overburdened with debt to make
necessary additions to their equip
ment before harvest time, accord
ing to Ralph S. Obier, State Direc-
tor of Rural Rehabilitation with
offices in Newark. Because the
farm season is already well ad-
vanced, farmers are urged to in
vestigate the rural rehabilitation
plan of reducing their Indebtedness
before they are too busy" Obier
said. "Since October, 1885, nine
Delaware farmers reduced their
debts from SAL, 1893 to S33, Ala and
were able to keep their farm equip
ment in condition for the 1886 crop
year through rehabilitation loans.
Debt adjustment. under the reha-
bilitation plan is best Illustrated by
an example" he said. For in
stance, a farmer who is already
overburdened with debt needs a
team of horses in order to continue
his work. He cannot obtain loan
at any of the regular agencies, so
he makes application for rehabil-
itation loan. The supervisor calls on
the farmer and examines his debts.
The farmers creditors are then
called together and some workable
program of reducing the total debt
is planned and agreed to by the
creditors. This plan provides for
a loan which viii allow the farmer
to pay off the total reduced debt
and buy the team of horses that he
needs to remain in business. Such
a plan allows the farmer to grad
ually pay off his debt under one
note while following efficient farm
practices" Obier said. In every
case, the supervisors, of which
there are two in Delaware, work
closely with the county agricultur-
al agents and the agricultural ex-
tension specialists in making rec
concentrations for farmers apply
ing for loans. Further information
regarding rehabilitation debt ad-
justment plans may be obtained by
writing to Ralph 5. Obier, State
Director of Rural Rehabilitation,
Box All, Newark, while direct ap-
plication for loans may be made
with the Rural Rehabilitation
Agents: B. c. Deputy, Dover, and
j. Frank Short, Seaford.

COTTON USES IN
ROAD BUILDING
Field Tests Reveal New. Uses
For Applying 1t in High
way Construction
80 STATES MAKE APPEAL

Thirty-two States have filed re-
quests with the Agricultural Ad-
justment Administration for cot
ton fabric and mats to be used in
field tests of new uses of cotton in
highway construction. Requests
for more than 6 million square
yards of cotton fabric for use as
a reinforcement membrance in BIZ
luminous surface-treated highways
were filed by "a of the 80 States.
Estimates indicate that this mater
ial is to be used in the construction
of more than SIS miles of road.
Twenty-three of the 80 States filed
requests for nearly 10000 mats for
use in curing concrete highways.
The project is being financed with
funds set aside under amendments
to the Agricultural Adjustment
Act, approved last August, which
makes available to the Secretary
of Agriculture an amount equal to
30 per cent of the customs receipts
for uses which include the encour-
agement of domestic consumption
of agricultural commodities by di-
verting them from normal chan
nels of trade to new uses. The Of
fer was made to State highway de-
partments so that tests might be
made under all climatic conditions
Those States requesting cotton
fabric or mats for highway con-
struction tests are Alabama, Ari-
zona, Arkansas, California, Maine,
Florida, Georgia, Illinois, Indiana,
Massachusetts,, Michigan, Mime

with reckless driving. After a
trial he was found guilty and a fine
of ten dollars and costs imposed.
Charles H. Bowers, of Dover, was
held under a fifty dollar peace
bond after he was arrested on a
charge of disturbing the peace in
the vicinity of lower Fulton street.
His case was before the Court on
Monday. Alcade Porter, of Har-
rington, was held under $500 bail
for the Court of General Sessions,
on Wednesday morning, on a
charge of non-support of his two
children. At trial Saturday
morning Homer E. Ringgold, of
Dover, was held for the Court of
General Sessions on a charge of
failing to support his wife. Harry
Keiser, of Blackbird, at a trial on
Tuesday of last week, was held un-
der $500 bail for the higher Court
on charge of non-support for his
wife and children. In all of these
non-support cases, Judge Wiley
did not enter any temporary orders
for support as the Court of Gen
eral Sessions opened on Monday
and that Court have these cases
before them for disposition. Judge
Wiley disposed of a civil action in
his Court in rapid time Friday
when the suit was filed, the trial
held and a decision rendered by the
Court on the same day. The suit
involved the ownership of a horse
which Paul Allen, of near Marydel,
loaned to Charles Booth, also re
siding in the same section, about
six years ago. 1t was testified in
the Court that at the time of the
loan of the horse by Allen to Booth
it, was understood that the animal
was no being given to Booth and
was not to be traded or sold. Some
weeks ago Allen needed a horse
and got the same horse from Booth
and then kept it. Booth then came
to the Court and attempted to re
pleVin TIE horse and the trial was
on that issue with the Court rem
dering a decision in favor of Allen.
