PLAN HORSE AND DOG SHOW
SpOrtsmen at Dover Set October
25th for First Field Day

Dover sportsmen, men and wom-
en-, enthusiastic about horses and
dogs especially, who have organ
lied the Dover Horse and Dog
Show Association, contemplate
holding Field Day this Fall and
have selected Saturday, October
25th as the tentative date. The
event will be staged at Rudnick
race track, just south of the Dover
city limits and the affair promises
to be an outstanding one and the
forerunner of annual shows to fol-
low, if the enthusiasm of those or
ganizing the association speak for
anything. There will be a bench
show with prizes for the best re-
trievers, spaniels, rabbit beagles
and fox hounds. Field trials for
bird dogs, both settlers and point
ers; Pet dog show for children un-
der IL years of age. The horse
events will include the showing of
ponies, local horses, open classed
and unlimited jumping. There will
be horse races, both harness and
running. A drag hunt for fox

PatrOniZe the Fair

The Citizens Hose Company
of Smyrna are to be commend
ed on the fine manner with
which they have handled the
Smyrna Fair this year. Few
can realize the amount of
work necessary to conduct a
carnival of this kind. An af-
fair so popular and we'll man.
aged as the Smyrna Fair rep
resents hours of thought and
energy on the part of many
firemen. The fruits of their
labor have been well rewarded
by the enthusiastic support of
Smyrna people and of the Wis
itors from the surrounding vi
cinity. The Fair has been
conducted and planned in such
a manner that it is of interest
to both young and old. The
important result of this fact is
that the Fair is a financial
success. The whole purpose
of the Fair is to earn funds
for the maintenance and
equipment of the men who
volunteer to protect our hon.
es and business places against
loss by fire. By patronizing
literally the Smyrna Fair, we
are contributing toward our
own protection, and having
lots of fun at the same time.

5 POINT PLAN
FOR FARMERS
Delaware U. S. Department of
Agriculture Defense Board
FOrmulateS Plans
PROTECTION is CITED

The Delaware-U. S. Department
of Agriculture Defense Board at
the University of Delaware, made
up of farmers and representatives
of federal and state agencies serv-
ing Delaware agriculture, formu-
lated a five-point program for
farmers who are attempting to do
their part in the nationwide food
production effort. The defense
boards program follows: 1. Make
the best possible use of the avail
able winter legume seed supply; 2.
Apply lime and phosphate to grass
sods and cover crops to be plowed
under; 8. Conserve all kinds of
manure and reinforce it with lime
and phosphate; 4. Increase acre
ages of rye, barley, oats, and rye
grass for winter pasture, to assure
feed supplies and to increase out
put of meat and milk products for
defense; 5. Increase production of
red clover, crimson clover and les
pedeza seed. Statistics presented
at Mondays meeting revealed that
about 10 per cent of Delaware's
close to 100000 acres of cropland
is not planted to cover crops, or
otherwise protected over winter.
U. S. D. A. agriculturists at the
meeting pointed out that while
present conditions indicate the
availability of nitrogen fertilizers
during 1912, farmers can protect
themselves against possible nitrog-
en- shortages by using legume
crops, since the legumes are able
to convert nitrogen from the ali
into the soil nitrates that can be
used by succeeding crops. When
the Delaware-U. S. Department Of
Agriculture Defense Board was
created early this summer by Sec
retary of Agriculture Claude R
Wickard, Delaware farmers had al
ready started to increase produc-
tion of milk and poultry products
One of the first tasks assigned the
board was assembling a report on
the states farm progress in the ma
tion's all-out defense effort. The
board, through its chairman, c. E.

Ocheltree, Greenwood, advised the
secretary that production had been
stepped up for all products-dairy,
poultry, canning vegetables-asked
for by the federal government in
it's FOOD Off Defense" program.
The only place where no increased
output was found by the board was
in the states swine herds. Here,
because of low sow numbers last
year, hog production this season is
expected to be slightly lower than
last year.

Perfect Union
Destined for
Reno Finale
--
BY MAIRY PAUL

NEW YORK. April I5.-That
perfect union Of the junior
Bernard J. Harrisons is destined
for finale in Reno.
Mrs. Harrison. the former
Martha Barclay Kountze de-
clineS TO discuss her marital
establishment with even her
closest friends. But society has
learned she'll make a pilgrimage
10 "Cupld's Graveyard next
week and II won't be the

that state.
It would be difficult to find
more gracious, or a more attrac-
tive young matron in the metro

Lefty has been Il fetish with her.
And I'm certain she Is doubly
distressed over here divorce
Journey sad over the ending
of her romance with athletic
young Mr.. Harrison. and wor-
rled over the fact that securing
a divorce will mean she'll have
her name in the newspapers.
The HarTison-kountZes en-
Cagement was an event of the
Easter season, Just II years ago
and the wedding, solemnized
in the Autumn of 1880, was
definitely a "swaShay" social
event. The bridegroom, Harvard
20 had rowed on his college
varsity crew.
Up until recently society i'm
agined the junior Harrisons had
found supreme happiness in
their married life. But Mrs.
Harrison's purchase of a rail-
road ticket to Reno tells a diff
ferent story.
She is a granddaughter of the
late Luther kountze. celebrated
New York banker of -hsgaHe-
generation, and through her
mother is distantly connected
with Goelets, Wilson's and Van
derbilts.
Leave il TO Mrs. Cornelius
Vanderbilt to keep in tune with
the times.
Now that there is less and
less European royalty to fete.
and politically the United States
of America is turning its atten-
ton TO the continent to our

feet that she plans to put her
