as party energy and money can
make it.
4 The Democrats of Kent county,
usually in the lead, come in behind
all others this year, with only a
month intervening before election.
The uncertainty of the contest
has resulted in one good thing, it
has caused a search for the best
men to be put on the ticket, and
the relegating of self seekers to
the rear. 1t is a gratifying result
to see this evidence of a desire to
please the best instead of the
worst element of a party and is an
augury of good.

OPEN HOUSE AT
STATE COLONY
Semi-Annual Visitors Day at
Delaware Colony, Stockley;
Children Present Operetta
DISPLAY HANDIWORK

Delaware Colony children and
staff will hold their semi-annual
openhouse on Saturday, October
10. All of the cottages, the school
rooms, the farm buildings and the
maintenance shops will be open for
visitors until four. An operetta,
Dreams Come True" will be pre-
sented at two o'clock in the audi
torium of the Administration
Building, by children of the glee
club and the band. Throughout
the afternoon, handiwork of chill
dren in the various shops and
class-rooms will be on display in
the school rooms in the Admins
tration Building. These semi-an-
nual open houses have long been
known as "Arbor Day" on the
third Saturday of each April, and
Pound Party Day" on the third
Saturday of each October. These
names were intended to convey to
the visiting public that gifts are
acceptable on these days. Gifts of
clothing, canned goods, groceries
and other items, which at one time
were rather considerable on these
days, have lately dwindled sharply.
However, with rising costs and in
creased population, Colony author
tiles consider such gifts more well
come than ever. The farm build
ings and displays of crops harvest
ed from the Colony's four hundred
cultivated acres, are prime focal
points for the interest of many v1s-
itors. Other visitors will find
greater interest in the fancy work,
the weaving, the wood work and
other products of the training and
efforts of the children. Some Wis
itors will wish to see the proceed
ures attendant upon the feeding,
housing and clothing of the chill
dren. Most of them will attend
the presentation of the operetta,
Dreams Come True" at two
o'clock in the auditorium of the
Administration Building. The semi
annual open houses are sponsored
by the Board of Lady Visitors of
Delaware Colony, membership Of
which Is drawn from all parts of
the state. Several of the members
will be on hand to act as hostesses
during the open house. Miss Ida
Roosa of Milford is president of the
Board of Lady Visitors.

A FORGER CAPTURED

On Monday morning Of last week
1 Gordon Richards presented an
order to an express agent at
Bloomtown station, Va, for an ex-
press package addressed to Mr.. T.
A. Richards, Temperanceville. The
package contained 5000. The agent
knew Richards to be brother of
the man to whom the money was
expressed and did not think he let
the money go on forged order
which he afterwards learned was
the case. As soon as the forger
secured the money he proceeded to
make good his escape. He started
for Chincoteague Island where he
at once began to spend his broth
er's hard earned money in the
most lavish manner. He gave the
man who took him over to the

which is needed to ignite the fire.
Now light the kindling and when
it is burning freely, slowly add
more coal. The kindling will ignite
the fresh coal both above and below
it, and you can then add more coal
and thus quickly build up good
deep fire.
Occasionally you may find, when
the kindling wood begins to burn,
that smoke starts coming out
through the crevices around the
furnace doors. This is due to the
fact that the chimney, being cold,
does not provide sufficient draft
to carry off the smoke. This con-
dition can be quickly remedied by
opening wide the slide in the fire
door--or by partially or entirely
closing the ashpit damper-or by
a combination of the two. .Q)

there is a right and wrong way
Of doing it. From my experience,
the quickest and easiest way to
light fire is this:
First of all, if there is a layer
Of ashes on the CRATES leave it
there. About two inches of ashes
on the CRATES help lot.
Then spread about two inches

ImpES TAKE ANNUAL
a. :, N SJJFF ERING, DAMAGE

I One other item that Baker class
ifies under carelessness is the stor-
ING of hay in barns before it is
completely cured, or allowing wat
er to run into dry hay from leaky
barn roofs, since damp hay falls
easy prey to ring by spontaneous
combustion.
Ways and means of preventing
fires and for taking care of small
farm fires before they have a
chance to spread are described by
Baker
I'm sure that many a farm fire
is caused by spontaneous combus-
ton SO l think it's good idea to
keep all rubbish and waste clean
ed up and stored away from build
ings. Handling gasoline with care
and keeping the inf1ammable
liquids in labeled containers helps
to prevent start Of fires. By using
trained men for electric wiring,
much of the hazard of electrically
caused fires is eliminated. This
same idea holds true for lightning
rods. The value of lightning rods
depends on their proper installa-
ton since poorly-installed lightning
rods are much worse than none at
ALL"
Because many of Delaware's ru-
raj families have recently obtained
electricity, they will want to keep
some facts on use of the electricity
in mind. These cautions on the
safe use of electricity include MAX
ing certain that the circuit is not
overloaded, use of fuses of the cor
rect amperage, being sure that ex-
tension wires are in good condition
and are not run under rugs, under
doorjams or over radiators and
steam pipes, and being absolutely
sure that all heating appliances
are disconnected after use.
80 farm fires can be stopped
before they have a chance to get
out of CONTROL" comments Baker,
II firmly believe in having plenty
of water available at all times and
the placing of several fire extin-
guiushers around every farmstead. +"
