Shipments of fruits and vegetables
continue to decrease. CarlOt move
ments the second week of Novem-
Der was 1000 less than the week be-
fore and more than 1000 less that ol
a year ago. The weeks shringage
was mainly in apples. pears, grapes
! lettuce, carrots. cabbage and toma-
toes. There we're moderate gains for
! potatoes, onions. spinach and sweet
potatoes.
Trading was more active in many
of the large markets. Prices show
greater firmness with some advances
for cabbage. onions. potatoes, sweet
potatoes. lettuce and apples. Celery
prices declined and citrus fruits
were selling lower.
Prospect for future supplies Ol
fresh vegetables indicated more mo-
derate production than expected
earlier in the season, owing to a
growing condition below the 10-year
average for beans, cabbage, carrots,
lettuce, peppers and Texas beets and
spinach. Average November condi-
tion of Is truck crops was 1875 per
cent, about percent lower compared
with average or with condition a
year ago. A few were in better than
average condition. these including
potatoes, caulifiower. cucumbers and
strawberries. Much of the trouble
with truck crops was from dry wealth
er in Texas and from heavy rains in
Florida. Most crops in California
have bee ndoing we'll. The fall crop
OF California carrots is expected to
increase about one-sixth. South
western and Florida lettuce paintings
and Teaxs onion acreage gain about
one-seventh. Texas fal lpotato pro-
duction is up so percent. Southwes-
tern cauliflower shows a moderate
reduction In probable output. but
California fall and winter celery
shows a moderate increase.
Potatoes Nearly Steady
There was little change in the po-
tato market near the middle of the
month. Prices held about steady in
northern Maine at 63c to zoe per 100
pounds for Green Mountains. Eas-
tern markets reported this stock sell
ing around $1.O5 to S1.25. while other
round whites ranged from 81 to s1.15.
Chicago and some other mid-western
markets advanced sc.
During the past. three weeks. less
than $500 cars have been shipped
from Maine and some OF the dealers
and growers are beginning to fear
too much of the crop may be carried
over for late winter and spring mar
keting. Most of the New York pota-
toes are now moving by truck to
nearby markets. Shippers are un-
able TO meet competition from Maine
and Michigan this season. and it ap-
pears that as to IS percent Of the
western New York crop will move by
truck.
Sweet potatoes were meeting a
better demand. Prices on best quality
stock showed a slight advance. Bu-
sheI baskets of New Jersey. Mary
land and Virginia stock sold at SOC
to 81. Midwestern markets showed
an advanc eof to 10 cents.
Onion Prices Hold
The onion markets continued about
steady. The volume of trading is
light although demand improved a
little after mid-month. Eastern city

Delaware contributed $160,267 ,00C
to the federal government in taxes
during the past five years and re-
ceived only $2S,400,000 from the
federal government for recovery
emergency, and relief purposes.
This was revealed by Pierre s.
DUPONT, former State Tax Commits
sioner in addressing the Whining
ton Rotary Club luncheon meeting
in the Hotel DUPONT last Thursday.
The State with only or of the ma
tional population, should have given
Only $4,000, 900 on a national per
capita tax basis, he said. And on
the same basis the State would
have received $32,000,000 from the
government.
Kept Financial Position
Mr.. dupont pointed out that Della
ware has maintained its own iinan-
cial position during the periods of
heavy capital expenditure and %e-
preston at a cost of $132 100000 at
the same time contributing almost
$3.50 100000 toward relief in other
states.
His address represented to some
extent an accounting of the States
finances during his 12-year term as
tax commissioner. Mr.. DUPONT ex-
planned that Delaware has emerged
from this 12-year period of large
State capital expenditures, coincid-
ing in part with a six-year period
of national depression with bal
anced budget. All State obligations
are paid except about $3,000,000 OF
State bonds.
Lauds Truss appointment
Mr.. dupont declared that Cover
nor Richard C. McMullen had acted
wisely in appointing James P. Truss
as his successor, and he paid tribute
To those who had worked with him
In the tax Office.
In the past ten years, Delaware
has enjoyed a total State tax reduc-
ton of about $16.500,O0O. he said.
Ore-half of this. sS,250,00O. applied
to reduction in real estate taxes,
and s3,S5O,000 to the abolition OF
the capitation tax and to tenn
.porary reduction In the State In
ccme tax.
He showed that current annual
expenditures for public education
had dropped 1873 per cent in the
past ten years and the largest in
creases we're for public charitable
institutions and public highways.
Cites Federal Record
The financial condition of Della
ware during the past ten years has
been a stable and even keeled one
in contrast to the federal govern
ment, Mr.. dupont said.
From 1922 to 1880 inclusive he
showed. the federal government had
a pretty steady annual income of
four billion dollars and spent about
s400, 100000 less than that amount.

ANTI.LYNCHINC BILL BACK
IN SENATE ON DECEMBER 10
JACOB r. Upper,

November -, the anti-lynching bill
was dropped to be taken up later.
While every southern senator and
most southern newspapers have con-
ceded that there are more than
enough votes to pass the anti-lynch-
ing bill and all believe that it's pas
sage is inevitable, there is certain to
be stormy and stubborn debate.
The point on which the southern
opponents Of the bill will concen--
trate asl their fire is the county
pans'ty clause providing that the
county IN which the lynching occurs
may be liable for an amount from
$4,000 to $4,000 damages to the
family Of the victim Of the mob.
This clause Is the heart of the bin
and If it is removed, the bill will be
Of no value whatsoever.
Supporters Of the legislation must
be prepared g resist any attempt to
remove or modify this clause and
they must also be prepared to couri-
teract the propaganda against the
clause which is certain to appear in
newspapers throughout the countgyx

A joint resolution to this effect was

These two companies were organized
into the Ninth Battalion of the Ohio
