Delaware avenue, but the flames
spread to the rear of several store
buildings on Market street. The
one owned by Harvey Kitchens suf-
fered the greatest damage, the
frame addition being almost de-
stroyed. Mr.. Kitchens makes his
home in one of his apartments,
while the other was occupied by
George Henderson, both narrowly
escaping the flames. The rear of
the Torbert building and that of
DR.. A. S. Williams, also caught fire
but was checked before much dam
age was done. These buildings and
their contents were damaged by
water. The flames were discovered
by Mrs. Fannie Bingham, who op-
crates a store on Central avenue
and has an apartment in the store
building. She awakened to find
the rear of the Mitchell garage in
flames. The Globe Building with
apartments on the second and third
floor, filled with smoke, routing six
families from their beds. Some of

them packed their goods and pre-
pared to move out, but the flames
were checked before this became
necessary. The loss to the build
ings will probably exceed $5,OOO'
while the loss to personal property
will be considerably in excess OF
$4,000. Joseph Campbell, an en-
ploye of Mitchelps garage was
burned about the hands, while re
moving an automobile from the
burning building.

TRAPPED 1000 'RATs. IN DEC
Fine Record Made on Farm of Rar.
~ S. Woodlzeeper, Taylor's Bridge

Fine Record Made on Farm of Har-
" S. Woodlxeeper, Taylor's Bridge
Nearly 1000 muskrats were
caught on the marshes Of the farm
of Harry Woodkeeper, former tax
collector, lying between the Apo
quinimink and the Blackbird rivers
to the east of Townsend and Black
bird, in December. The average
market price of the pelts this year
is 81 and the carcasses, sold for
meat, sell for about ten cents each.
At this rate the yield of this one
marsh for the month was approx
imately $1,000. This is only one
instance of the yield of the many
similar marshes throughout the
state and it is pointed out that this
yield is greatly in variance with
the results derived from the culti-
walton of arabic tracts of lands in
the same districts. The Woodkeep-
er marsh is well known as wild
duck feeding ground and sporting
center for Wilmington gunners.

thing in safeguarding the chill
dren of their town. The mu-
nicipal authorities have pro-
vided the young children Of
the community with a large
slide on the old Academy
grounds, where they can en-
joy shedding to their hearts
content. The location is con-
venient and it is to be hoped
that the innovation will lure
the children off the streets.
The Middletown authorities
are quite cognizant of the fact
that their town is at the juno
tion of two main highways,
both of which are used by
through traffic. AS these
roads intersect in the heart of
the town, there is likely to be
congestion on both at any
time. In any event, moving
vehicles make both of the
roads - and therefore these
streets and all streets within
the town limits, dangerous for
children with sleds. The sub
stitute that has been provided
for the little folks will not
only safeguard the children,
but also will remove a hazard
from the streets that menaces
the safety of drivers and in
terferes with the orderly
movement of traffic.

The Up-to-Date Merchant

The small town merchant
who succeeds is the one who
has what people want and lets
them know about it. People
are busy today. They will not
take time to shop where mer-
chants insist on keeping their
wares and prices a secret. AS
one of our exchanges says
''The busy stores are those
who send to their customers
living rooms the home news
paper containing the stores
advertisement of products and
prices. Advertising has be-
come the greatest service in
time-saver and money-saver
to the busy housewife. She
knows from the advertising
where she can buy what she
wants at the price she wants
to pay. She does her shop
ping on a third of her original
shopping time"

on beef. w. T. Derrickson, of Do
yer, chief of the Bureau of Mar
kets, looked for no far-reaching ef-
fects on Delaware agriculture as a
whole. He cited the fact that all
of Delaware's perishable products,
or all products exclusive of wheat
and corn, are not subject to pro-
cessing taxes and have been af-
fected in no way by the AAA.
Oliver H. Newton, of Bridgeville,
who heads the State Board of Ag-
riculture, declined to comment ex-
tensively on the ruling, but said
offhandedly he would think it
would mean higher prices to be re-
ceived by farmers. If the process
sors do not have to pay the pro-
cessing taxes, he reasoned, they
would be in better position to pay
the farmers more.
Kent Farmers All at Sea
Most of the detailed work of the
AAA in Delaware has been handl-
ed through the county agents. Rus
sell Wilson, agent for Kent county,
said the farmers in this county are
at sea as to the probable effect of
the ruling. He said they are going
ahead with their new wheat con-
tracts with the understanding that
the government has guaranteed to
pay one year on the old contracts.
Some farmers, he said, were dis
cussing the possibility of continu-
ing the AAA on their own, but
were stumped by the question OF
who was going to make the pay
ments. Russell Snyder, agent fol-
Sussex, said at his home in Sea.
ford, that he was not prepared tt
hazard guess as to the probable
outcome of the ruling. G.. M. Wor.
rilow, of Newark, agent for New
Castle county, said the same.
Nearly Million i'm Processing Take.
Dean G. A. McCue, of the Agri
cultural College at the University
of Delaware, felt the ruling woult
work no great hardship on Della
ware. Benefits from AAA pay
ments went to about 140O Della
ware farmers up to last December
A total of $685. ,82O in processing
taxes had been collected in thi.
State up until the end of last Sep
tember. If all outstanding con
tracts are met by the government
Delaware farmers will have receiv
ed 100000 in AAA bounties of al
kinds.

Object Lesson For Smyrna

Smyrna might well take the
tip from Middletown as to
safeguarding of the chill
dren. Not only shedding,
but roller skating, bicycling
and playing baseball is done
on the streets of Smyr-
ma. None wish to deny chill
dren pleasure, but there
should be a place provided for
their pastimes and outdoor
sports away from the arteries
of traffic. The street is no
place for children in these
hustling, bustling days of mo-
tor traffic and Council should
see to it that they are stop
ped. The time may come
when it will be necessary for
the Town to set apart a pub
lie playground but until such
a plan materializes Council
should see to the safety of our
children and keep them out OF
the streets.

Death-Knell of the AAA

ath-Knell of the AAA
The momentous decision Of
the Supreme Court which by a
6-3 vote sounded the death
lnell of the AAA is an his
toric document in more ways
than one, says the Morning
News -
"1t sweeps into the dead
pages of the past the attempt
of the Roosevelt Administra-
ton to place all agricultural
endeavor under the domina-
tion of the federal govern
ment. The solemn words of
the justices also contain a re-
buke to the New Deal. They
hold a broad defense of the
court, it's motives, and its
powers. And they point a
warning to the nation that
New Deal doctrines, carried to
their ultimate conclusion, lead
to the destruction of state
sovereignties and complete
RECOMMENDATION of American
life under a Congress re-
strained only by its own con-
science. The AAA is left with
even less of a leg to stand on
than was the NRA, the other
cornerstone of the New Deal
arch. 1t has been branded
completely and utterly uncon-
stitutional, beyond hope of re-
vival.
Congress-. say the justices
fatty, is given no power to
regulate agricultural produc-
ton by the Constitution and
therefore legislation by Con-
gress for that purpose is for
bidden." The program, the
court finds, is not voluntary
but compulsory, since the
price of the farmers refusal
is the loss of benefits. "The
power to confer or withhold
unlimited benefits" it declar-
es, "is the power to coerce or
destroy. Congress has no
power to enforce its COM
mands on the farmer to the
farmer to the ends sought by
the Agricultural Adjustment
Act. 1t must follow that it
may not indirectly accomplish
those ends by taxing and
spending to purchase compli-
ance."
''In the light of the court
reasoning it is now highly
probable that all of the sim.
liar legislation passed under
the New Deal, such as the to.
bacco, cotton, and potato con-
troll acts will follow the same
path to the judicial gallows
But more significant is the
courts ruling on the conten
ton that the processing taxes
were justified under the gen.
eral welfare clause of the Con
stitution. 1t is on this clause
that New Deal attorneys have
attempted to hang Legislation
otherwise outside the powers
of Congress-"
