Youth COnfesses
To IL. RObberies

A series of IL robberies, ex-
tending over a two-year period
in Storden, have been solved with
the arrest of Lawrence Parker,
17-year-old Storden youth.
Parker was taken into custody
by Marshall Oscar Handeland of
Storden and together with Sheriff
Bell of Window, got signed con-
fession from the youth.
A convincing bit of evidence
presented by the sheriff to the
prisoner was a button and a piece
of cloth left in one of the pla1,s
robbed.
Taken before a Window justice
Monday of last week, Parker was
turned over to juvenile court.
Judge Lund, taking into account
the boys age and the number of
offenses committed, turned him
back to district court.
He waived examination and is
held under $4,000 bonds.
ALI of the robberies occurred in
Storden, the boys home town.

New desks were installed in

cent $3.50; however. this percent.
age was reduced by repeated testing
until, on June 80, 1885, the county
was accredited, all the cattle in the
county having been tested within
one year and the percentage of in
fectiOn found to be less than one
half Of one per cent.
New Castle county, where extern
sive dairying has been praeticed for
practically two centuries was the
most heavily infected section, the
percentage of recators on the initial
tests being about forty per cent
(409o). The progress of the work
appears when il is realized that the
accrediting of New Castle county, in
December, 1885, meant that all the
cattle In the county had been tuber-
culin tested and retested until the
percentage of reaction was reduced
to less than One-haf of one per cent
1t is felt that Delaware may be
justly proud Of this record of an en-
tire State accredited as free from
Bovine tuberculosis. and the State
Board of Agriculture hereby ex-
presses their appreciation of the CO.
operation of the individual herd Ow-
ners, the dairy associations, the
milk companies and State Board of
Health, the accredited practicing
veterinarians of the State, and of
the loyal services of the Veterinar-
ians employed by the Board and the
Bureau in Delaware, for
their interest and efforts on behalf
Of this work.
The accrediting of the State does
not mean, however, that the work
can cease IN Delaware. In order to
keep the State accredited, Il is nee
essary for each county to be re-ac-
at the end Of its thTee-year
period, and for the individual ac-
credited herds to be retested annh. |
ally to maintain their accredited |
herd certificates. The requirements |
Df the milk inarkets in regard to the !
testing of cattle mean |
hat the State Board of Agriculture !
must continue this service 20 the |
cattle owners Of the State In order I
Tor them TO be able to market their
milk. The individual accredited
herds In the State are retested an
lally by the practlcing veteTinar-
ans, selected by the owner, at the
expense Of the State Board of Agri-
culture, and al infected herds are
by the State and Federal i
veterinarians until all in
ection Is eradicated. Constant Wig

n00R MuST BE KEPT OPEN

Opinions differ about the views ex-
pressed by Ex-Governor Alfred E.
Smith, in his address to the .Ameri-
can Liberty League. But there was
one point with which all genuine
Americans agree, and that is the
opening Of the door of opportunity
to every youth. Gov. Smith said he
loved America. because it opens
these doors to all. He spoke of how
his country made it possible for him,
as a newsboy on the sidewalks Of
New York. to go to the Office of Gov
ernor Of the greatest state in the
union. He might also have said his
country gave him the chance to be-
come an orator to whom millions of
people listened a few nights ago.
AS we look over the newsBoys of
our cities, how many of these hum
bic little fellows will go ON to high
Office and responsibility? And will
the path be made easy Or hard? Is
il easier to rise than il used to be,
or harder?
You can't tell by the looks Of
cat how far he can jump" Capable
brains are concealed under some
ragged jackets. There is a vast
amount of potential power in hum
bic and obscure homes. The eoun-
try is wasting an enormous amount
of useful energy, if the door is
closed against such potential ca
pacity.
Helping hands are held out to am
bilious young people. There are
good schools in MOST cities. Bright
and capable teachers tell the pupils
to work. to study faithfully The
majority Of the children have access
to excellent libraries. They ali can
buy newspapers for next to nothing,
which opens the doors of OppOr-
t1pity.
Alas, there are many pitfalls. Il
takes some resolution for the young
ster TO stay at home and study the
lesson. when the gang are going out
for high jinks. The helping hands |
should make il easy to exercise self !
denial. The youth who shows ensr-
gy and mental power should be given
more chance to develop these gifts.

DELAWARE FREE FROM
BOVINE TUBERCULOSIS

[COHtiHNed from First Page1
the veterinarians regularly employ
cd by the State Board of AgricuI-
ture or the Bureau of Animal In
dustry, or by accredited prRcticing
veterinarians, authorized to apply
the tuberculin test to cattle by the
Bureau and the State Board Of Ag-
riculture.
The@plan of eradication of Bovine
tuberculosis in Delaware has been
the same as that practiced through
out the entire United States; that is,
the testing and Tetesting of all
herds of cattle and the elimination
Of all reactOrs to the test. The re-
actors are slaughtered under State
Federal supervision and the owners
reimbursed Jointly by the State
Board of Agriculture and the United
States Bureau of Animal Industry.
Eighteen years ago, when the
Delaware State Board of AgricuI-
tuTe started the work of eradiacting
Bovine Tuberculosis from Delaware
cattle, there was considerable Oppo-
sitiOn to the work and progress was
slow. AS the herd owners became |
educated TO the advantages of haV-
ing their cattle tuberculin tested, |
the work began to increase rapidly.
When the State Board of Health and
the various city Boards of Health in
the markets into which Delaware
milk is shipped enacted the require
ment that all cattle furnishing milk
must be tuberculin tested. the herd.
owners of the State became anxious
to place their herds under State
Federal supervision for the eradica-
tion Of Bovine tuberculosis. Up to
1929, the policy of the Board had
been to conduct the tuberculin test
ing throughout the State, upon re-
quest from the herd owners. IN the
fall of 1929 and the winter Of 1880,
the work had made such progress
that the veterinarians were concen-
tfated in Sussex county, where the
amount of infection was least, be-
ing about five per cent $50 on the
initial tests; all the cattle in the
county were tested during the per-
iod Of one year, the infected herds
being retested until the percentage
Of infection was less than one-half
of one per cent; and the county was
officially accredited. As the official
recognition by the United States Bu-
reau Of Animal Industry Of modi-
fed accredited county is for the
period Of three years. the county !
was retested in 1898 apd officially
re-accredited.
j.. AS the percentage Of infection in
Kent and New Castle counties was ]
higher, It required more retesting Of {
