Early Use of Marble Table Tops

From Elizabethan England come
records of marble table tops in 1888,
although it was not until the early
part of the Eighteenth century that
marble appeared as an important
furnishing feature in England.
Their use in Italy most probably
predates this, since the natural re-
sources there and the architectural
character of the furniture would
both encourage the use Of marble.

During six months of every year

its population of 1900 natives and

the outgoing mail tied to sticks Of
bamboo, deposited it in a bucket
dangling from the ships side and

agricultural adjustment program
The Agricultural Department econ
omists said an increase in the d.
mestic wheat carryover appears
unavoidable" next year if paintings
are considerably in excess of the
100000 acres. This acreage
with an average yield would pro
duece about 600,O0O,OO bushels II
slightly under the ten-year average
domestic consumption of 68O.OOO.-
600 bushels, the bureau estimates
At the present time, the report
said, the wheat outlook for 1929
pointed to a world carIyover in
July, 1889, of about 1,165,OOO. coo
bushels more than twice the size
of the 1887 carrycver and second
only to the 1,193, 100000 bushels
carried over in 1888. The report
said wheat export prospects for the
United States in the marketing
season of 1939-40 were definitely
less favorable" than in either the
1878 or 1938-39 seasons, because
of the expected increase in world
carryover stocks. The report said
grasshopper infestation probably
would be less in 1899 than during
the past few years but still some
what above average, especially in
the Dakotas and eastern Montana
Improvement was predicted in this
situation in Kansas, Missouri and
Illinois. The bureau said that ii
areas where fax is a commercial
crop farmers might shift some of
their spring wheat acreage to this
commodity during 1889.

The Bureau of Agricultural Eco

continue low during the 1939-40
marketing season unless economic
conditions or the general price level
improved more than now indicat-
ed. Wheat acreage in the remain
der of the world is not likely to be
decreased next year, the bureau
said in it's annual wheat outlook
report. With average yields, it add

produced even if acreage in the

ming Season Which Opens
November 18th
SOME "DON'T"SUGGESTED

With the opening of hunting sea-
son, when thousands of hunters
will go afield in pursuit of their
favorite game, the need of care
and attention to prevent accidents
is vital. The Delaware Safety
Council has issued a list of Life
Saving Cautions in the hope that
the large number of accidents,
when hundreds of people are killed
and wounded each year principally
through their own carelessness in
the handling of firearms while
hunting, may be avoided. Com
mon among the causes of fatality
and injury are: Pulling guns
through fences; guns knocked down
by dogs; uncased loaded guns in
automobiles; accidental firing of
guns through bottoms of boats, the
hunters drowning with the sinking
boat; accidental stopping up of the
barrels with dirt; leaving obstruc-
tions in barrels, cleaning rags, rods
and the like; carelessness in hand
ling guns by letting them explode
with barrel ends under water;
shooting at movement without see
ing clearly; and firing at game
without looking beyond it in the
| line of fire.
Don't carry your gun put togeth-
er in automobiles, wagons, etc.;
it's the ''unloaded" gun here that

Don't shoot your gun, after put
