Will ABDICATES THRONE The latent word we have received over the radio is that King Edward VII of England has abdicated the English throne and will assume a private life, The reporters state that trucks for the removal of his baggage bag-gage from his London home have loaded his personal effects and that he will leave for the Continent to join Mrs. Simpson. The present plan outlined by the cabinet is to have the Princess Elizabeth, Eliz-abeth, daughter of the Duke of York crowned as queen under a regency with the Dowager Queen Mary as regent. re-gent. The princess is but eleven years of agd and it will be necessary for her to rule under a regency until she become seventeen, when the regency re-gency will be disbanded and she will be crowned Queen of England and the Dominions, and Empress of India.

FARMERS BUYING POWER HIGHEST SINCE WAR A press release from the U. S.

The cash income from farm marketings and government govern-ment payments this year will total about seven billion 800 million dollars, dol-lars, a gain of about ten per cent over ov-er 1 935, and a gain of more than 80 per cent since the low depression . point of 1932. There have been eco-J nomic gains in reduction of farm ' mortgage debts, lower interest ratas, and fewer foreclosures, and the value of farm lands and buildings has risen. ris-en. The outlook for agriculture for next year is 'favorable,' with an in creased demand for farm products." , RELIEF SOCIETY ELECTS NEW OFFICERS The Relief Society of the second ward elected officers for the coming year in its last meeting.

Rivers Older Than Mouutains Evidently several famous rivers are older than the mountains through which they flow. A typical one, says Collier's Weekly, the Danube, Dan-ube, twice cuts through the great mountain chain of southern Europe, once at Vienna and again at the Iron Gates a geological phenomenon whose only possible explanation is that the river existed before the mountains and kept its course open as they rose during the ages. Wood Carving in Black Forest For hundreds of years the Black Forest people of Germany have carried car-ried on their wood carving and homecrafts. They make cuckoo clocks, some entirely of wood, furniture, fur-niture, music boxes and toys. In former days many gems were cut there, and the region was famed for its glass. After the discovery of America, this last industry experienced experi-enced a great boom, for traders needed great quantities of beads to trade with the Indians. "Corpus Delicti" The phrase "corpus delicti" does not refer to the body, but to the essence of the crime, the facts necessary nec-essary to its commission. In the case of a murder charge, this would include proof of the victim's death and of criminal agency as cause. The body might be burned or mutilated muti-lated beyond recognition, but scraps of cloth, teeth, or belongings, might establish its identity. t'neasy loves the head that wears a crown. FIGHT ENDS IN INF 1 MEETING CALLED TO CLOSE DELIA STREET The Board of Education has formally for-mally petitioned the Town Board to close the street Immediately west of the Delta elementary school. The Board bought the former Dunsmore property west of the school grounds and it is their wish to close the street and make that space and part of the present school grounds into a playing play-ing field for the sports conducted. A football field and a circular track have been scheduled. A compromise road has been suggested sug-gested that will go' down the alley west of the grade school and then on a long curve go back into the road just opposite Ward Moody's. This will make It so that the road would not be entirely closed and those wishing to go through that, way coeld do so. Also a removable 'board walk has been suggested over the football field to meet the walk in front of the school. This walk could be put down any time that the field was not in use. Trees will be planted about the track and it will make a very splendid splen-did arrangement for the playing students stu-dents in case it is passed. The meeting for the discussion of the matter will be held in Friday night.
