PROFITABLE EXCHANGES.

~ CCORDlNG TO all reports, the exchanges or
= ganzed by the New Jersey farmers have
been very successful and their number will be
increased during the coming year. Last year the
Burlington county farmers organized an exchange
on the cooperative plan, with capital of $4,000
paid by its members. The first year proved to be
successful, for the official reports show that the
exchange did business of 100000 and earned
FIVE per cent. on the money invested. The pro-
ducts handled by the exchange we're strawberries
gooseberries potatoes, pears, cabbages and similar
articles and they we're shipped 10 more than 100
different cities and towns in twenty-one states.
Very little of the fruit shipped by the Burlington
exchange went 10 the commission houses Sew
eral years ago the Monmouth county farmers or
ganized exchange, which paid from the start
The business of the first year aggregated more
than S450000, and in the next year il increased be-
yond S50000O dividend Of five per cent was
declared last year The present years business of
the Monmouth exchange has shown an enormous
increase over that of 1909 The aggregate ran up
TO more than S90OOO0 yielding a net profit to the
members of the exchange of 20 per cent There
we're 2,575 carloads of product shipped, including
AL 1913 barrels of potatoes and they went into
twenty-one states and one foreign country The
membership of the exchange has increased from
$50 TO 800 and the capital stock from s3i ,275 TO
almost S55000. The exchange method seems TO
be very profitable to the farmers and il the con-
sumers in all the cities could buy direct from ex-
changes, there would doubtless be a considerable
reduction in the cost of living.

Editorial Opinion
RemarkabIe Census Facts.


New York American.
One of the most notable facts about
the census is that the greatest per-
centage OF growth during the past
decade has taken place on the Pacific
slope and the adjoining States and
Territories.
The average rate Of gain in con-
tinental America was about p per
cent But the State of Washington
gained 100 per cent.
Oklahoma comes next. and then Ida
no, Nevada, North Dakota. Nsw Mex
leo. Arizona, Oregon and California
Another noteworthy fact Is the com
paratively poor showing of the Middle
Western States. every one OF which
is below the average in gains.
Iowa has actually lost ground by
three-tenths of one per cent
Il Is said that In nearly half the
counties in the huge middle western
region, comprising Ohio. Indiana, llli-
nois, Michigan, Wisconsin. Iowa, Mis-
souri,, Kentucky and Tennessee, there
has been a decline in population.
The declining countries are. Of
course, the rural counties.
No social philosopher can fail to
fnd matter for serious reflection in
this weakening of the earthhold of the
people in one of the richest agricul-
tural regions Of the world.

EMPLOYERS
LIABILITY
Bill Applying to Railroads and
Railways to Go to

An employers liability bill is being
drawn for Introduction into the new

the following, but the draft has not
been completed as yet:
The common law doctrine of the
fellow-servant. so far as it affects
the liability of the master for injuries

assignable duty. and when death,
whether instantaneous or not, results
to such employee from any injury for
which he could have recovered under
the above provisions had not death oc-
CURED then his legal or personal

HIGH SCHOOL GIRLS
Domestic Science in Several
Branches In LebanOn'S
Upper Education

LEBANON, Pa, Dec 2S-Domestic
science has taken firm hold on the
hearts of the girls attending the High
School and upper grades of the city
public schools. and because of this
has won the united support of their
parents, with the result that this feat
ure of the curriculum Of the school
has become a fixture. II was intro
duced three years ago as an expert
ment, and from the very beginning
was kindly received: but the results
already attained by Miss Sara z. Nor
ton, the teacher in charge, have firmly
intrenched it in the opinion of the
Board of School Control
The department occupies one Of the
small rooms OF the present big High
School building. which is already con-
sidered too small to meet the ever
growing demands of the school sys-
TEN, and it is certain that in the ar
rangement of the new building more
adequate quarters will be provided.
Just at present members of the fac
ulty of the High School are enjoying
the distinction of being the guests OF
the young cooks at meals served in
the domestic science department
where meals for six are prepared at a
cost of less than ST. One member OF
the class acts as hostess, while an
other is waitress and a third is cook
Only two members of the faculty car
be entertained at a time, and lots are
drawn in order to decide who shall
enjoy the hospitality of the class. The
important matter of economy enters
largely in the preparation of al
meals.

rHE Goon ROADS MOvEMENT.

MITH the opening of the Legislature It is to
w be hoped that the friends of good roads will
at once take up the agitation of that subject. The
platform OF both political parties declared for good
roads and there is a considerable and growing
sentiment in favor of the project.
The Delaware Automobile Association which
hiss been gathering in members from all parts Of
the State, of course may be expected TO take
active hand in booming good roads, but there is
said to have been hesitancy on the part of
members Of the Association to appear to be too
conspicuous in the movement II has been said
they feel that the residents of the lower counties
interested in good roads should really take the
lead because the building Of the State road con-
Germs the lower counties more vitality than it does
New Castle
We have in this county a stretch of good road
almost continuous from Wilmington to the Kent
line and it will not be long before the patches
of bad road will be improved whether the State
road project bears fruit in the lower counties or
not.
Whether this view Of the hestancy on the part
of the Association 20 force the matter is correct
or not. some persons in Kent county hold it, and
they seem TO want the association to understand
that any effort it may take will be heartily vel
coined and supported by the friends of good roads
in Kent and Sussex
II IS said that during the last year or the
sentiment for good roads has considerably in
creased in the lower counties and that sentiment
has gained more friends OF course automobilists
would enjoy good roads. but they are by no means
the only ones concerned. Good roads in the lower
counties would prove TO be a benefit TO every
farmer and land owner and the merchants in the
towns The transportation of grain from the
farms 70 the stations is often delayed because Of
the conditions of roads Farmers will tell YOU that
they could have received a higher price for grain
a. certain times of the year, but they could not de-
liver it owing 10 the dilspidated roads There
IS less wear and tear on wagons and fewer horses
are required where the roads are good In fact
the advantages Of good roads are almost without
number
- Il is therefore desirable that all the friends of
g5od roads work together and for the common
welfare Several schemes have been proposed tor
the construction Of the State highway but IT is
believed by many that It be built without in
oreasing the tax rate. The fees from the licenses
Of automobiles would do considerable towards pay-
Ing the debt Of bond issue for road purposes
scheme satisfactory to all can probably be work
ed out, but the important thing is that the good
roads matter should be considered early in the
session so that there shall be ample time for the
working out OF a practical scheme and Delaware
VIII start on comprehensive plan Of building a
state highway which will be of much benefit 10 the

VOTING MACHINES.

EMINENT in New Jersey is much divided
as to the use of the voting machine at cleo
tlons. II is said that an effort will be made at
the coming session of the New Jersey Legislature
to abolish the use of the machines in every pre-
olnct IN the State But this move will be bitterly
opposed
At Asbury Park. for example, attempts to abol-
lsh the machines IN three districts failed and the
Common Council has asked that the Secretary of
state furnish two more machines so that the en-
tire city may be equipped with the devices In
Lakewood where there is said 10 have been CON
siderable fraud at the recent election there is
demand for the machines because il is said that
under the present method the returns can be
(uggled SO that the voter does not know whether
his vote is correctly counted
As objections to the machines, it is urged .hst
they are confusing and the voter cannot tell how
ne has cast his ballot The chief objection TO the
machines, however is said to come from the DO
itlcsl leaders who find it more difficult than here
tofore TO manipulate the vote. In some communi-
ties OF other states the machines have worked very
satisfactorily but general sentiment on the mstter
appears to be much divided

ONE PITY OF 1T.

SEEMS that the aftermath of the election in
= Delaware-the various charges of bribery and
counter cnarges-has created more partisan feeling
than was caused during the actual campaign In
some parts of the State the campaign has been
fought after the closing Of the polls We have
thus an illustration OF what i'll feeling disappointed
personal and political ambitions can create. Two
years ago the campaign was fought in a decent
manner. The verdict was accepted The Demo.
Gratis put up hard fight. They lost and accepted
the result without a murmur. And most of them
accept the result in the same spirit this time. but
there are few who have created or sought 10
create, revival of the old time partisan feeling
And yet the Democratic leaders know that their
ticket was not satisfactory TO many of the rank
and hle. They know that there was no compari-
son IN the energy and activity of their recent cam
psign as compared with that of two years ago
and they know that the claim of defeated Can
didate White that 5000 votes were cast fraudulent
" is moonshine 1t is pity that Delaware which
has devoted too much time and attention in the
past to playing politics, should be made TO suffer
because of disappointed ambitions
