SAFELY LOCKED Finally Corralled ami Cap- ured by Determined Band of Hunters. LEI) THEM LONG CHASE (Special to Every Evening.) Seaford, Feb. 22.

The wild mule. which had became well-known down the peninsula, by his eluding every known means of capture for the past fourteen weeks Ut cafe now behind locked barn doors. Capture of this elusive animal was effected late Sat urday afternoon by a crowd of hunt ers of the animal. The mule, which was brought to lower Delaware along with a carload of western mules, escaped after it had been sold at a public sale of the It was later found roami, woodland and marshes along the banks of the Nanti-coke river, and hunters legan their long chase of the wily mule. Every known means of capture was made to get the mule, but he eluded them all.

It was estimated that on some occasions three hundred people had Joined in the chase. As time wore on and the mule was still at large well-known, horsemen from all over the peninsula, including some of the wild pony chasers and lasttoers of Chincoteague Island, were en listed in the hunt, but the mule proved too wily for en these famous horse men. The crowds continued their hunt day after day, endeavoring to use some new means of capture nearly every day. Pounds were built and traps of every description set, but all no avail. Capture was finally ef fected by the use of an old fashioned arge snare, something on the ordr o- snares tssed by the rabbit hunters of long ago, only this snare was con fiderably larger, made, with three prongs, and as the mule ran across the snare he was entrapped in a noose iround his neck.

The muio is now owned bv Oscar Johnson, is said, who resides in Broad Creek hundred, and has been iewea oy nunureaa or peopie since his capture. After hi capture, James Burton. Seuford boy, a daring rider and a member of the Second Cits Troop, Philadelphia. rod him for a short distance. The mule used everv means to dislodge Burton but could not throw him off his back.

It is said the mule has changed hands several times since he began his long chase fourteen weeks ago, and that the present owner is Mr. Johnscfh. The mule was badly cut and bruised from the briars ard branches. Horse men said he was the wildest and fast est mule they had ever encountered. The hunt has been so long and so many have Joined it that the mule has become famous all ver the peninsula.

Dover, Feb. 22.

The announcement here Saturday of the sudden death of Everett Johnson, former Secretary of State and member of the Legislature, came as a shock to every one who knew him and the general expression heard from everyone who had known him while he lived in Dover was that a good, honorable and upright man has died. Those closely identified with him in state affairs here, in the State House, also expressed deepest regret at his death and recalled the many expressions of his good will, genial disposition and readiness to aid in any way he could while filling the responsible position of Secretary of State. It was during the administration of Governor Townsend that he was Secretary of State and possibly no more strenuous four years were ever spent by state officials than those four years, for it was during the Townsend administration, with Johnson as secretary, that the War Draft Board was inaugurated bringing with it the arduous duties of the office preparing forms and "blanks and sending them out during that period. While in Dover Mr. Johnson enjoyed bis home life on North State street and quite ciften while leaving the State House at a late hour with friends who had "dropped" in to talk with him.

In a report sub mitted to the Board of Trustees of the University of Delaware, Dean Charles A. McCuo of tho Agricul tural School makes an appeal for the establishment of additional courses in connection with Agriculture. He contends there is now a serious deficiency in the curriculum and that Delaware in this respect Is not keeping pace with other institutions of the land grant college group. The report follows! It is becoming more and more ap parent that there is a very serious deficiency in the curriculum of the School of Agriculture of the University. We ore not keeping pace, either with changing conditions in agrloul- tural thought, or with our sister in stitutions of the land grant college group.

We are not sending our graduates out with the proper mental anil Informational oirulpment to meet the competition of other institutions. or with the proper mental concepts that should enable them in time to properly analyze the changing environmental factors with which the agricultural profession has contin ually to battle. The agricultural grad uutps may be equipped with the best jrienuue euu anon possible, yet tney will be handicapped if they do not possess a Iwiokground of training that will enable them to weigh ond properly evttluate. economic law and thus be able to adjust themselves in accordance with the factors which may at the time lie exerting them selves upon their business. We should as rapidly as possible build tip a strong course In Agricul tural Economics.

If the inn lor per tlon of our acricultural population had possesed such a background of training we 'would not be so greatly concerned at the present time with the agricultural crisis. In fact. doubt if we would have any crisis in aRriculture. We cannot hopo for Utopia, yet that is no reason why we should not send out our young men so mentally equipped with informa tion and training that they may meet changing agricultural factors with a degree of self confidence. I would therefore, recommend that one of the first steps in advance be to provide! adequately in the School of Agricul-i ture for courses in advanced eco-i nomics, marketing, agricultural ft-! nance, farm management, etc.

The Experiment Station. "There Is little new to report along experimental lines. The new departments of Entomology and Agricultural Economics are well started upon their respective problems. "It has become evident that we cannot hope for the best work and greatest economy of funds for research in the Department of Agricultural Economics until we add another worker to the department. This man should be a field man who has no classroom duties, to tie him down to his office.

I therefore, recommend that as soon as additional Purnell funds are available an assistant be appointed in the Department of Agricultural Economics. "At the present time there seems to be no doubt but that additional Furnel! funds will be forthcoming on July 1st, 1926. More complete plans for utilizing these funds will be presented at the May meeting of the committee. "A publication 'Factors Influencing Jelly Strength' is now in manuscript form.

By Walt Xson- la the almanacs are printed joke as good as any minted, and I used to read theta daily, laughing loudly, laughing gay-ly; there the humor glowed and twinkled, but alas, the jokea were sprinkled in between some dreary sections, giving grave and grim directions how to locate fierce diseases and a thousand kindred wheezes. "If you find your eardrum itches, a your side ha painful stitches, it denotes, without a question, that you've chronic indigestion. Buy a jug of Beeswax Bitters, or you'll join the graveyard I would find a gem of humor flanking pictures of a tumor.

Every bon mot was united with some ill that should tie righted. Every symptom indicated that I was with ailments freighted. "Are black specks before you floating? They're a warning, they're denoting you have Ilia which are not quitters, till you purchase Beeswax Bitters. Do you stutter when you're walking? Are your hair and whiskers falling? You require an overhauling. Poison dir-e your system litters: take three kegs of Bevtswax Bitters.

Are you always feeling rocky, does your act up balky when you've eaten pie or fritters? Soak yourself in Beeswax Though the jokelets pleased and charmed me, all the rest of it alarmed mo, for it taught me that I staggered under ills that made me hagsrd. What we need to keep us smiling in an almanac beguiling that cuts out the. symptoms patter, that is full of reading matter of a sort that cheers and pleases, saying nothing of LINE WILL NOT Superintendent Wardrop's Letter Gives Hope of Con-. tinned Service. WRITES TO THE MAYOR (Special to Every Evening.) Delaware City, Feb.

pencnil 'superintendent, in response to inquiries regarding the rumor that the lis.ienor service on tho line would l.kely lw curtailed. In a recent reply to Mayor George N. Bright, Mr. Wardrop stated that "here and there we must assume a financial burflen because of the public interest which wo are chartered to perform. Just as soon as the public necessity ceases.

It is our obligation, under the Transportation Act, to withdraw the facilities. In Pennsylvania, M.u-yl.m 1 and Virginia the Public Service Commissions are the of when there ceases to be a publac necessity. In Delaware there is no commission. There we must consult till' public itself, and it is upon such constructive advice as is contained your letter that we moid our course tho public interest." The melting of the hug snow ts'ther with tlie rains, of the pas; ten days, has resulted in great dvterUtion to the stne road from town Clark's Corner, especially in at part of the road that was not last summer. Tiie drifts the last enow-ctortn were high along thi road, with the rest; that a tdnslo passage, was due throuKh the banks permitting 'only one car to travel through at a time.

The cars travelling in the same tr.o. k. together with the melting sti.o.v running water coursing down the ruts, has noftened the stone bed and the entire road bed has disintegrated in some places. There retrains much now, and it is a certainty that the road will bo in a de-I iorabie condition by spring. ls: summer, the county rebuilt a portion of this road, spreading a mixture tar and finely crushed stone ocr a iisl of heavier stone, thus making a most excellent road.
