WORK MAKES MEN

Work makes men. Luck usu-
ally fails. Pluck nearly always
wins. To succeed in anything
one must overcome obstacles.
Force and fiber are built by
hardships. Grit is as necessary
in making of a man as gumption'
Hardships are not always handi-
caps. Often they are helps.
You will understand this better
in twenty years. Meanwhile
permit one who has lived that
twenty years and more to
advise you in this. Hang onto
your job until you are sure of a
better one. Dependable boys are
in demand. And no boy can be
depended upon who does not
finish the task he sets his hand
to do. However disagreeable our
work, do it thoroughly. Do it
better than the average boy will
do it. In that way you will come
to be known as a dependable
boy. And mind you this: Men
everywhere are looking for cap
able, honest, gritty, dependable
boys. The sooner you let people
know that you are that kind of
a boy, the sooner you will get a
better job. And don't be in a
hurry to give up the work you
already have. Be sure something
better is offered. Wait awhile.
Do your work we'll. Promotion
will come. And do not envy the
boy who has an easy time. You
would much better pity him He
has a good time now, but some
day he mus" make good. With his
fabby muscles and his easy
habits and his many wants, he
stands a far poorer chance than
you. Remember above all, young
fellow, you are making mar
of yourself.

COLONY FoufiDED
Lines Near Milford. Many
Large Farms Bought

MfSoRD, DEL, April 7th.-Mr. Frank
Greaco, of GillstoW1. Pa, millionaire
railroad contractor, has bought number
of large farms in Milford Neck, about ten
miles northeast Of Milford, along the Dels-
ware bay shore. They include
The Governor Polk farm, containing
979 acres; Steward farm, of $50 acres !;
Hudson farm, 500 acres Watson farm, Of
100 acres; Beswick farm, of 100 acres !;
Macklin timber tract, Of 60 acres; Scott
farm, OF go acres.
These properties will be divided into
small truck farms, of 20 acres each. On
each place there will be built two-story
house of eight rooms, with barns and
stables. There will be about one hundred
houses altogether, and they will be occu-
pied by a colony of Italians, which Mr..
Greaco has brought from Italy. Many
of them are now on the land. The pro-
iector will build large canning house
along the Mispilion river, where all OF
the produce of the farms will be packed.
He has also bought thirty thousand peach
trees, which he will plant on the farms,
in addition to apples and plum trees.
On the marsh land of the Governor
Polk farm he will try to find oil and will
drive well to the depth of three thous-
and feet. Since MIR. Greaco has made
known bis plans to bore for oil, most Of
the farmers who own land adjoining his
tracts have doubled the price OF the land.
One farmer who accepted 5000 changed
his mind. He was then offere, $1,000,
which be also declined.
This week Mr.. Greaco placed surveyors
at work laying out the lines for canal
from the Mispillion river to the head OF
the Polk farm, a distance of five miles.
It will be eight feet deep at low water
and thirty feet wide. The canal will
start at the head of the Polk tract and
will empty into the river near the light
house. Two large mud dredges are ex'
pected here to commence work very soon,
and it is expected that it will take about
six months to complete the improvement.
The object is to reclaim this vast tract OF
| marsh land. As result of the example
thus set, other farmers have now placed
5000 acres of marsh land under cultiva-
ton for the first time.
Mr.. Greaco will also erect and operate
a general store for his tenants and Other
farmers nearby.
The colony will number about six hun
1red persons. A chapel and school house
will be erected for them.

DELEGATE TO MATT ONAL CONVENTION
Republican State Convention at Dover
Send Delegates to Chicago

Republican State Convention at Dover
Send Delegates to Chicago
The Taft movement in Delaware was
halted at the Republican State Conven-
tion Tuesday at Dover. Alter electing
six delegates, the Convention, in an en-
phatic manner killed a resolution endors-
ing the Secretary of War for the Presiden-
tial nomination and voted to send the
Delaware delegates uninstructed. The
resolution was engineered by DIR. Caleb
r. Layton of Georgetown, in the State
Department at Washington. The endorse
ment was checked by State Chairman 7.
Coleman DUPONT of Wilmington, who
read party rule providing that all resolu-
tions be first referred to the Committee
on Resolutions. In his effort to have the
convention endorse Taft, Layton moved
that the rules be suspended so that the
resolution might be considered. This
was voted down with whoop whereupon
Chairman William S. Hilles of Whining
ton, declared it out of order. Although
the rules stipulate that nothing shall be
read before presentation to the Committee
on Rule, Chairman Hills wetted the ap-
petites of the delegates by reading the
LAYTON resolution. 1t had been formerly
presented by DIR. G. Layton Grier OF
Milford. The national delegates elected
were: New Castle County delegates, Gov"
ernor Preston Lea and United State Sen.
