To Take Care Of The Maturing" Bonds.

CAPITATION TAX WILLBE $1.OO' PER PERSON

Rate Is The Lowest County Commissioners Could Levy To Meet Running Expenses Of County.

The Levy Court Commissioners of Sussex County at their meeting on Tuesday afternoon fixed the tax rate for the year at ninety cents on the §100 of the county assessment, the taxable basis being §32,012,242. The aggregate amount to he raised at a ninety-cent rate to run the county government will be §293,610,17.

The amount will be divided ac­cording to the following per cen­tum; general fund, tweny-one and half percent., §63,104.71; general rone! fund, seventeen per cent., $49,896.72; special road improvement fund, ten per cent., §29,351.01; bonded indebt­edness, forty-seven per cent., $8805.30; witness and jury fund, one and one- half per cent., $4402.65.

All receipts in nddition to those already provided for Will be placed in a fund known as thc "unappropriated fund.”

The appropriation of the specinl road improvement fund is in accord­ance with an act of the Legislature and amounts to nine-tenths of onc mill on every $100 of the nsscsscd valuat­ion of real and personal property sub­ject to taxation, and is for tho con­struction and maintenance of perman­ent highways of thc county.

The Levy Court Commissioners have levied a rate of twenty-five cents on every $100 for the support of the schools of Sussex County n- mounting to $81,530.60.

The tax rate, therefore, for coun­ty and school purposes is $1.15 where­as it was $1 for last year. Thc In­crease and maturity of thc highway, courthouse and bridge bonds. The bonded indebtedness of the county i3 divided as follows: Improved high­ways, $2,000,000; concrete and steel bridges, $19,500; courthouse improve-

Iment bonds, $28,000. This makes the i total bonded indebtedness §2,047,000. I Within the next two or three years of i the bonds reach maturity.I The capitation tax this year will jbe $1 on each man and woman of (taxable age and the revenue derived j through this source, if collected, will [amount to $22,314.e The tax rate is the lowest that the ; County Commissioners could levy e in order to meet the running expen- ! ses of the county government for tlie ! fiscal year, and meet the interest on the bonded indebtedness and lie in position to redeem the bonds as rap­idly as they mature.

From now on there will have to be an increase in tbe tax rate annually for the next thte. or four years tojnhe care of tbe interest on the highway bonds.

SHORTAGE OF TEAMIS FORESEEN

Washington, April 27.—An "acute shortage’’ of horses and mules in lhe United States with­in-five years unless breeding is increased was predicted today by the department of agricul­ture.

At the present rate of breed­ing the department said, re­placements of colts are “entire­ly inadequate” to cover decreas­es in work animals.

The advance in horse and mule prices during the last few months indicates that the short­age already is being encouraged to produce large colt crops.

When Federal prohibition officers, working from the office of Director Swain, of Wilmington, were informed at 7 o’clock last Saturday night that a small schooner had unloaded forty cases at a shack six miles north of the jetty, at Lewes, considerable excite­ment was caused and the Federal agents, supported by a number of State officers, procured a Govern­ment cutter, in command of Captain Wilmer Steele, and a record run to the place designated.

They arrived at the shack an hour and one-lialf after receiving word of

the landing of the forty cases and after landing made a cautious advance The building was found guarded with a lock as well as a heavey bolt. The officers received no response to theii' demands for admittance and made a close search of the surroundings and then made a thorough investi­gation.

Through cracks in the flooring they were able to peer into the in­terior of the shack and discovered the forty cases. Each case, however, was plainly marked with its con­

tents, which proved to be dynamite. The agents were a unit in declaring that it was not the kind of dyamite they were in search of and returned to Georgetown.

Of much interest to Sussex County farmers comes the news that carrots are excellent as feed for horses. Use them as a substitute for oats, but as a part of theration. Horses are very fond of carrots, and the carrots slic- ken up the coats and keep the horses in fine physical condition. No root crop stands higher in this respect than carrots.

“FOR THOSE WHO GAVE THE MOST”The causualty list goes on. The World

War ended November 11, 1918, for most of us. Since that date America has not seized its morning newspaper to read in haste, and in fear, that list of those “Dead on the Field of Honor.” The popies of six summers have cov­ered the scars of Flanders Field and babies walk and talk and play, who were not born when the last shell burst beyond the Meuse. But the causualty list goes on.

During 1924 more than five thousand men died in the United States from disabilities dir­ectly orginating in their World War service. Those are the deaths officially recorded and certified by the government as due to war causes. There were others not so of record,

That eountry—if the area over which the Nejdian nomands roam may bo called a country—has one of the most exclusion laws known—the exclusion law of the sword. These people do not care to go into the outside world and they want no visits from Western traders, diplomats, military experts or missionaries—especially mission­aries, They are bloodthirsty fanatics on the subject of religion. As Waha­bis they are perhaps better known to the world than as Jejdians, for the former name they owe to their reli­gious associations.

Blue laws have never taken on so deep a tinge of blue as in the land of the Wahabis, To drink or even smoke tobacco is not merely a dereliction in their strict code; it is a captial of­fense .according to their views, to uso rich rugs and fine vessels in mosques, and they have made more than one effort to invade Mecca itself to reduce

the holy places there to Wahabi sim­plicity. They even look upon other Mohammedans not of . their sect as un­believers unworthy of itself.

THE STATE REGISTER, FRIDAY, MAY 8, 1925

Important Changes Are Made In The State Game Laws

The 100th General Assembly of Del­aware mado hut few changes in the Game Laws jn Delaware, but some of tho new Laws are ef far reaching effort and of interest to most of our citizens. The changes are:

(a) A new Law making it unlaw­ful to own or have a dog in possion in Kent and Sussex Counties without a State license for each dog.

(b) A new Law, requiring a State license for each boat used in the bus­iness of carrying fishing parties in fish in the Delaware Diver or Dela­ware Bay,

(c) A new Law protecting crabs.(d) A new Law requiring non­

residents desiring to take soft crabs from Rehoboth Bay or Indian River to first procure a State License, cost­

ing $26.00.’ (e) Changing the Law governingthe use of nets fol- fishing in the wat-

I ers of Rehoboth, Indian River and : Assawaman Bays, and Indian River ' and their tributaries.. (f) Changing the Law governingI the taking of muskrats by prohibition the use of diving or boy traps,

i The new dog law is designed to pro- : tect the wild creatures of the State i from the depredations of ’dogs part­iculary during the breeding seasons. It provides that the owner or custod-

■ ian of each dog must procure a lic­ense for the same which cost §1.00 for each male and $2.00 for each fe­male dog. With the license tlie owner will receive from the State Board, a metal tag which must be worn on a

collar at all times. It is unlawful for any person to permit nny dog to | run at large at any time without a I State license tag, and from tlie first j day of March to the first day of Oct-> ober in eacli year it is unlawful tof permit any dog, whether licensed or J unlicensed to run at large, and at night I time all the year round dogs must bd confined on their home places or kep^ under the immediate control of tlieir | owner. The training of dogs at! night time during the closed seasons j is now also prohibited, The new Act j

I further makes licensed dogs persona1 property and subjects of larceny and I provides a penatly for the theft of a dog.

Any unlicensed dog may be killed by any officer or by any land owner or tenant should such dog trespass on tbe land. This Law now protects all licensed dogs and the property rigid of the owner to such dog and at the same time it protects all property owners from the depredations of dogs. Should any dog damage any property

owner, the amount of the damage can bo recovered, from the owner of the dog, or from the State, in the event that the owner of the dog is worthless.

The Law further requires that per­mits be secured to hold field trails within this State.

For violating any provision of the Law, a fine is provided of not less than $5.00 nor more than $50 for each offense.

Tiie Board of Game and Fish Com­missioners is charged with the duty of enforcing tlie new Law and is now engaged in organizing a group of census takers, who will make a per­sonal canvass of the two lower Coun­ties and compile a census of all dogs and dog pwners. The new Law be­comes effective on June 1, 1925, and any person owning or harboring a dog on which the State license has not been paid after August first, next, will be subject to the penalties of the Law.

The new boat license Law provides that each resident of the State must

procure a state license for each boat used in the business of carrying fish- ing parties for hire from the shores of this State to fish in the Delaware River or the Delaware Bay, the an­nual charge for this license is $10 for each boat. The license fee for each non-resident is $50 for each boat annually.

The Law protecting crabs prohibits the taking of crabs from any of the waters of Delaware by the use of dredges or tongs and also prohibits the taking of female crabs while bear­ing eggs. It also makes it unlawful to sell any hard shell crabs taken from the waters of Indian River, Rehoboth Bay or any of their tributaries. This does not prohibit the sale of hard shell crabs taken from the Delaware River and Delaware Bay and their tributaries. The license fee charged nen-residents to take soft shell crabs peelers, shedders, ete., is $25.00 an­nually.

The charge in the fish net laws makes is unlawful to set any net in

any of the Bays of this State within one-half mile of the mouth of any tributary stream and prohibits the setting of any fyke or gill net in the Indian River Inlet and Rehoboth Bay inlet within two miles of the mouth of the Indian River Inlet or to set any net across the current or channel or any part thereof of any stream. •

The new Laws will be published in pamphlet form fer free distribution but will not be available until the lat­ter part of June of this year. Infor­mation relative to the changes in the Laws may be obtained fro mthe Chief Warden’s office, , in Dover,

The committee appointed to can­vass the town for subscriptions to pur­chase the armory site had a meeting Monday night and on Tuesday morn­ing released the news to the public that the John, Collins site over the bridge bad-been selected as the site of Laurel’s new ?50,000 armory.

The campaign started several weeks ago with six locations offered. The option on the Deshield property near the school was withdrawn by the ow­ners. The canning factory site was found to be in sueh a location that it would require too much expense to put It in shape for the construction work to begin. Other sites were too expen­sive.

The Collins property is located just over ihe Laurel State SfeliWay bridge on a slight hill. It will make a beau tiful location surrounded by fine cedar trees,

Mr. "Collins offered this lot which •was first 100 x 200 feet at $1,500. However seeing the need of quick notion in securing a site and showing that he had the interest of the town nnd National Guard at heart,Mr, Col lins enlarged the lot 300 x 200 feet and in addition to this gave a don­ation of $150,00 on the same. This will make a total cost of the site to be $1350.00. Enough money hnd not yet heen raised to complete the pay­ment on this tract and every citizen is urged to co-operate and help get this across as quickly as possible.

National Guard officials are well pleased with the site us well as most of the town people. This will give Laurel a beautiful town entrance, A $50,000 armory structure on the North Entrance and a $255,000 high school on the Southern entrance.

Architects have been ordered to bet •the drawings of the armory completed nt Boon as possible and in all prob­abilities work will start on the build­ing in about three weeks.

So sure are Government officials that Work wilt soon start on tho build­ing that they have ordered the first piece of equipment shipped. This is a big 12 inch Coast Artillery mortar.. The gun is expected hero itt a short! time and Will be stored in the Canning!

Pftvid W. Griffiths epoch-making gpectaeie, “The Birth Of A Nation,” following its record-breaking return to New York Will be seen in one Qf its orginal productions at the Waller Theatre in this town next Wednesday and Thursday,

“The Birth Of A Nation” tells by film and music the story of a nation re-bom through the storm and stress of internecine strife. Instead of the four or six scenes of the eonvential plays, its technique permits of filming literally thousands of scenes and cov­ering a wide range bf history and cha­racters. Slavery, the primal cause of the 7t’ar; Lincoln.? caff for troops co subdue the Southern States; the ball oti the five of Bull Run} tne assas- ination of the Great President; the up­rising of the Ku Klux Klarl.

The love interest of the plan js bas­ed on the friendship between the Cam­erons of South Carolina and Stone- men’s of Pennsylvania, two families in volved in the Struggle, Ben Cam­eron, the gallant Kiansittart of the Dixon stories, appears again in the role of tbe romantic hero,

Does Sussex County or Lau­rel boast a good broncho rider, steer wrestler or calf roper? Or a fellow adept at trick and fancy riding? We may now be covering a policeman’s beat, em­ployed as delivery man for a moving concern, clerking in a store or holding down an office job, but if he still has the spirit of the plains and fanges in him and thinks he’s no back number, he’s wanted. The Chicago As­sociation of Commerce is put­ting on a “Roundup” in Aug­ust 15 to 23 and has asked tlie help of this newspaper in find­ing persons formerly having a part of the life of the great West, Many cash prizes will be offered.

IS IT NECESSARY?

Dr, J. B. Lloyd, assistant surgeon general of the U. R. public health service has offered to submit himself and nine other persons to inoculation with active germs of virulent small­pox to prove that immunity is caused by vaccin ation.

Is this at all necessary? Those who bel­ive in medical science and tramission of dis­ease by contact, can find ample substantiation of the theory by the recorded cases; whereas, those who doubt or deny the germy theory and its attendant, processes, either on account of religious doctrine or adherence to the growing school of non-medical thought, can also satisfy themselves on the subject by numerous instan­ces of exemption.

Medicine is not, and can never be, what is called an exact science. It is an approach­able science. Men have climbed tbe outside of skyscrapers to defy tbe law of gravitation; drank poisons and remained singularly im­mune; let snakes bite them because somebody paid a dime to look into the pit; and killed peo­ple witii guns fhat were not loaded.

The scientific answer to Dr. Lloyd’s pro­position is that he may get the smallpox and he may hot get it. But if he wants to continue in his important post as assi.-tant surgeon gen­eral, the safest way is fo try the inoculation oti the neighbor’s cat or pet guinea-pig.

ateiy but inevitably, must pass before reaching, the point where the two greatest of economic forces find a basis of cooperation.

Intelligent labor does not mant strikes any more than it wants war; but its leaders and those who give thought to the subject know the process by which the man who works with his hands must assert himself concerning the conditions that pertain to the earning of his livelihood.

Ami now tho taxpayers of Laurel are called upon to vote whether they shall or shall not have their taxes raised for "The Upkeep of the Fire Equipment” and an effort is made te lead them to belive that the moneys raised by this extra taxation wiil hi used by the Fire Company for their current expenses, when, as a matter of fact, the bill reads plainly "For the Upkeep of Fire Equipment,”

LEGION CAMPAIGN FOR FUNDS STARTS SOON

Endowment Fund To Care For Widows And Orphans is

Badly Needed.

Members of the Delaware Execut- ice Committee of the American Leg­ion who will take the leadership in arranging for the fund of $10,000

which Delaware hopes to raise, dur­ing the campaign starting Saturday, May 23rd and concluding until May 30 for the American Legion $5,000,000 Endownment Fund for disabled men and orphans of the veterans, have per­fected organization and are ready to lay the ground for the campaign.

Offices have been opened at room 2169 duPont Building, Wilmington, arid telephone number 10,000 the same amount at that of the campaign has been totalled.

Briefly stated the purpose of the

campaign is to guarantee permanent care to disabled service men and wid­ows and orphans of veterans. Such work as this, which is now being done under the direction of the Legion, is financed very largely by contributions from such organizations at the Eed

Cross and many others but the Legion and general publie cannot expect this financing, which is in behalf of a pub­lic cause, to be kept up indefinitely. The Legion, throughout the country, hopes to raise a fund which will be sufficent to look after the work per­manently.

corn and got a lot more per acre. He said it was all because tbeir land was better than his, but he began to think that possibly he’d been missing a bet. At any rate, be knew it often cost Inm more to grow a bushel of corn than it was worth.

One spring be quietly put on some corn fertilizer, leav­ing out a couple of rows through the middle, and waited to see wbat would happen. What happened was enough to make a changed man of him. Now he knows all there is to know about corn fertilizers.

REGRETS

We very much regret that we did not have all the flowers you wanted for “Mothers Day.” We had about the usual number but the demand was so great that we had about one tenth enough. From every direction, many young, middleaged, and old people came. The demand for flowers and plants for “Mothers Day” was exha­usted by Friday noon.

Now next year, Second Sunday in May we will have thousands of all kinds of cut flowers and potted bloom­ing plants. Baskets of blooming plants with which to fill her porch baskets will be attractive and apprec­iated at §1.50 to §3,00 and last all summer, better gift than carnations at §3.00 a dozen.

THE STATE BEGISTER. FRIDAY, MAY 15,1925,

STRAWBERRIES ARE NOW BEING SHIPPED

Last spring it was Memorial Day before the first carload of berries went forward. This year, however, because of the early blossoming and growth of the berries, the equivalent to the first carload will move northward by Thursday or Friday, only it will be by motor truck. When the season is more advanced and the growers have to seek a more distant market for their product, the berries will be ship­ped in refrigerator cars, and that con­dition will possibly be reached the week after.

The two varieties that will come in­to bearing this week are known as the Missionary and Premier-berries of average size, sweet and which pro­duce profusely. The later varieties raised extensively in thist state—the Johnson and brandy—will come along about two week from new.

Down in Sussex county the head­quarters for strawberries, there is

great activity. Berry pickers, most of them Italians, from New York,] Baltimore are arriving daily by the! whole family. Growers have ar­ranged to put them up and in some instances the entire family will be ut­ilized during the height of the pick­ing season in the patches. Three cents the price paid per quart last spring, appears to be the generally agreed upon price the growers will pay.

Market Is StrongWhat is most encouraging to the

growers is the fact that the market price for Virginia berries and fruit coming from still more southern points ave bringing excellent prices Fortunately the demand is greater than the supply and the past week strawberries in the Philadelphia mar­ket brought from $5 to $S for 32- quart crates and the lesser attractive berries brought from $4 to $6. On the first prices the profits were more than expected and even on the latter the growers could make a fair margin of profit.

i Last spring the price of strawberry crates was 55 cents each. This year

1 the priee is 50 cents, a saving of five vents. Last spring crates were scarce and towards the end of the season growers were paying one dollar a

crate in order to ship berries.Last spring many of the berries

because of the excessive rains were soft and watery. This year, up to date, the berries are firm and sound

and sweeter without the watery con­tamination. Consquently the growers expect splendid returns if the market continues strong and the weather is promising.

STRAWBERRY SEASON SOON

AT JTS HEIGHTCarloads Of Berries Are Being

Now Shipped Every Day Through Laurel.

GROWERS THIS YEARUSING LOCAL HELP

Bonza Crop Is Expected. Many Loads Of Virginia Fruit Have Passed Through Town So Far,

lleknvul'B's strawberry season began eil Wednesday of last week when a 'aw erates were shipped nut nf Sus­sex county hy motor truck. As the weather warmed up un Thursday and Friday there were more moved, and by today it is expected that season will oe in fu'l swing.

Fortunately the state ,.f the season vias at a pi,nit te the growers and this has encouraged them to mala- all aiaiigcniva,.' aeedni io harvest prom­ptly and ship berries. By the end of

this week it is expected long train- loads of berries will bo moving north in refregator ears in addition to the thousands of crates that well he trans- porated to short dostinates in motor trucks. Commission men irom as far west in Pennsylvania as Harrisburg and from the southwest to Baltimore as well as Philadelphia dealers will receive a lot of their berries from Del­aware in motor trucks.

Delaware growers in Sussex county are this year turning back in con­siderable measure to Delaware men women and children as pickers. For a score of year the Delaware straw­berry crop has been picked largely by foreign labor, Italians and their families from Baltimore, Philadelphia and New York. Even this year the bulk of the pickers will be Italians from tlie larger cities, but tiiere arc some large growers of berries who are trying tiie experiment of local pickers.

Thc reason given is that to bring Italians to Delaware is done at con­siderable expense in carfare and in providing homes for them. After they arrive the Italian families start to pick for, say John Jones, but if after two or three days they want to mole they do so. It doesn’t matter if tlw grower has brought them here, il’ they want to o-o, it is stated they go, just the same.

The extra quality built in by the extra process of Gum-Dipping, the economy of these wonderful tires and the added mileage obtained from them during the past two years, has created such a large demand that Over 73 of Firestone’s mammoth produc­tion is now Balloon Gum-Dipped Cords.

This has greatly increased the total sales volume and the huge Firestone factories are now working on a 24-hotir schedule to supply the demand.

This large volume, produced under the most economical tire manufacturing (methods, permits Firestone to sell these extra- process Full-Size Balloons at no extra eosttc oar owners. And this in the face of greatly advanced cost for crude rubber brought about by the operation of the British Rubber Restriction Act.

Gum-Dipping means longer mileage—-greater ccoiiomy—at no extra cost to you!

NEW LIBRARY IS DEDICATED

AT DIVERSITYForty Five Universities, Col­

leges And Schools Re­presented There.

26,000 SUBSCRIBERSHELPED ON BUILDING

Many Distinguished Guests Were Present, Book Con­taining Names Of Delaware Heroes Is Given.

Forty-five universities and colleges,) ;n addition to speakers of national prominence, were represented at t'he iediat.ion of the new $400,000 Memor­ial Library at the University of Dela-1 rare at Newark Saturday afternoon, j fhe exercises w*ere witnessed by a large assemblage of citizens and vis-! itors from all parts of the country. It' also marked the first State-wide re-i ognition of Delaware's war heroes.)

High tribute to the ideals and sacri-) dees or Delaware nnd the American) people in general, and to the goner-' sity and thoughtfulness of the 20*000 1

-ubscribers who made the erection of •he fine new library possible, was •aid by the speakers.

Dr. Walter Hullihen, president of ’lie University of Delaware, presided aver the exercises; addresses were del-1 ivercd hy General Preston Brown, U. S. A„ representing the American Ex­peditionary Forces; Dr. Joshiah II,: Penniman, president of the Univer-1 -ity of Pennsylvania, and Genera] i James A, Drain, national compandor; of the American Legion, |

Governor Robinson and aides, mem- i bers of the Legislature, and many ot-! her State, county and municipal of-;

ficials were present. Previous to the dedicatory exercises, which were held at the library, an1 academic and mil­itary procession from Frazer Field was held,

i The Memorial Book, containing the ■ names and life histories of 270 Dela­ware men and women who lost thoir lives during the World War, was pre­sented by former Secretary of State Everett C. Johnson, and was received by Governor Robinson, representing the State. The Governor turned the book over to J, Alexander Crothers, State Commander of the American Legion, to be placed in its proper nic­he in Memorial Hall. Commander Crothers was assisted by four former commanders of the Legion in Dela- awar; General R. R. Kenney, Colonel John P. LeFevre, Dr. William C. Spea- kman and Dr. Meredith I. Samuel.

In an address, preceding the pre­sentation ef the book to the Governor Mr. Johnson said: “Marble monuments may appeal, towering shafts may awe, but to us a Memorial that granders the thought of the ages and guards the ideals of men gives only true re-| verence to those having served, and inspires nnd leads on those who will) and may,"

Bishop Philip Cook gave the in­vocation, after which Dr. Hullihen I made the introductory address. One! of the features was singing by the | Wilmington Rotary Club chorus, led) by William P, White.
