The average city man works
longer hours, gets less pay, en-
joys fewer comforts and has a
harder time in laying by" some
thing for old age than does the
farmer. Is this true? At first
thought you don't believe it, but
listen. Does any one know many
farmers who average eight hours
of work per day throughout the
year as the city man is compelled
to do? Does any one know many
city men who make as much
money or live as well on the same
amount of investment as does

city man who is able to retire
from active business life at so
years as do so very many far

LET THEM Eight IT ON.

II HE Arden colony is surely receiving all the
Il publicity that the most ardent devotee of the
limelight might desire. They will have pageant
at Arden on Saturday, and they should try to have
Mr.. Sinclair and Mr.. Kemp as an attraction.
So far it seems that the two poets have been
hunting for each other, but they don't meet Per-
haps they will make il a point to assemble at the
pageant Should Mr.. Sinclair and Mr.. Kemp meet
IT IS doubtful what kind of weapons they would
use Mere ordinary talk with battery Of report
ers and camera men" with waving and motioning
hands would not do. There would have to be more
action.
But speaking of camera men, they are the only
ones so far we have observed who have been
awfully serious in the Arden avalanche of pub
licity. At the workhouse when the "convicts"
we're released the camera men with their shoot
ing instruments we're there in force Not pho
tographer smiled They simply waved their hands.
Perhaps the reason is that the camera men are al
ways telling other people not TO smile
II Kemp and Sinclair would meet in a hfty-foot
ring and the camera men" we're on hand as they
would be. we'll wager that not one Of them would
laugh The newspaper photographers are the most
solemn looking crowd Of men we have ever seen.
Both Mr. Sinclair and Mr. Kemp arc said to be
powerful men. They are trained athletes. Mr.
Kemp at one time played on a Kansas football
team, and this shows that football players some
times gain fame in the world
Mr.. Sinclairs various experiments in food should
tell him what to eat If he is matched with Mr.
Kemp. We are not inclined TO think that he would
fast week before the encounter A diet Of fruit
and nuts would not be the orthodox method Of
training. Neither would three cent meal at the
workhouse.
The possibilities of Arden publicity are by no
means exhausted, and the thing TO do is 10 have
physical encounter at the pageant which will be
the psychological moment. A psychic encounter
won't do.

Toward the end of the week, DR..

MHAT THE ROAD MEANS.

TN MANY respects the DUPONT road will be a re-
i markabe thing for Delaware. There will be a
solid stretch Of fine road for one hundred miles,
and there will be few grades. The boulevard will
be the best highway of the kind in this part OF
the country and il surely means great influx OF
visitors to Delaware. There is no road out Of
Wilmington that in any way can be compared to
the proposed boulevard We have good turn
pike or two, the Kennel turnpike for example, but
after going to the end of it bad roads are met
The turnpike from Wilmington to Claymont is
fairly good. except in few places, but the road
is an abomination beyond Claymont The stretch
of road just before the Pennsylvania line is met
is frightful and journay by road into Chester is
very unpleasant.
On the outskirts of Chester are some Of the
worst roads that any would care to tackle.
Nothing worse could hardly be found in a wilder
ness.
In New Castle county we now have patchwork
good roads. Instead of a splendid highway
straight down the county to the Kent line we have
ordinary road. A mistake was made when the sell
fish interests of some permitted the patch work
roads to be built.
There is not a fine highway from Wilmington to
: my Important Pennsylvania town. II can readily
be seen therefore, what an attraction a continuous
good road like that of the proposed boulevard will
be.
And the chief point about II is that provision will
be made for the of the road after it has been
built. This is highly important, because money
spent in building a road is money practically
wasted unless the road is kept in repair.

system has been established deposits for the first
FIVE days amounted to Sll0000 which is at the
rate of 100000 year But as the deposits in
steadily the people become acquainted
with the banks, the chances that the aggre-
gate amounts in the big cities will exceed this
estimate.
A surprising thing about it is that the deposits
have been large in places where there was said to
be no demand for the banks. Another surprising
point is that many people prefer the two per cent
rate that the government will pay to the three
and-onehalf four per cent paid by the regu-
lar banks. Ii shows that some people have pre-
ferred to keep their money hidden in an odd
stocking" rather than TO put il in the regular
banks. And yet savings banks, such as we have
in Wilmington, are safe and sound.
According TO all reports, the big savings banks
in other cities have not suffered loss of business
because of the starting of government banks.
Money withheld from circulation has entered the
postal banks and this must be beneficial TO gen.

IOWA RECLAIMING LAND.

HE large amount of money that some COM
= munties spend on their lands is shown by the
work the farmers of Iowa are doing. They have
entered upon project TO drain their swamp lands
at a cost of S3oo,oOo,ooo. They have already ex-
pended SsO00000
1t is expected that hundreds of thousands Of
acres will be added to the tlable area of the state.
Sanguine advocates of the Improvement declare
that the state will be weather. by half a billion of
dollars or more when the work is completed.
Public drainage bitches have been constructed
in fourteen of the thirty counties When the i'm
provements are completed. it is estimated that the
reclaimed land will be worth from SIS to 5000 an
acre. The average cost of the improvement is SIS
an acre.
The fact that on the Delaware Peninsula there
thousands of acres of unrecaimed or unused
land was brought wildly to the attention of the
public some time ago when the Pennsylvania Rail-
road Company decided to establish an experiment.
tai farm in Delaware. These acres Of ground should
be made available for cultivation.

TN situation like that confronting the public
Il and the Wilmington and Philadelphia Traction

Suggestions have been made that another COM

operate lines on the streets now used by the Will
mington and Philadelphia Traction Company
Then, also, promoter for proposed new COM

other plans will be suggested before the issue be-
tween the public and the company will be settled.
be settled
The Journal, however, thinks it much better to
await the outcome of the case now before the Pub
lie Utilities Commission. The city will soon find
out where it stands and so will the company When
a decision is rendered, il will then be the proper
time to consider what steps should be taken The
company may conclude that it is the part of wis
dom, all things considered to restore the strip
tickets or il may not.
AT any rate, the matter is moving along as we'll
as could be expected and at present there is no
need Of various new schmes to relieve the situation.

EXPERIMENTAL
FARM A SUCCESS

DOVER, Del, August 28-Members
OF the Delaware State Board of Agri-
culture on Saturday were the guests
OF the Delaware Railroad Experiment
al or Demonstration Farm Station, at
Bacon, Sussex county, between Laurel
and Delmar. At this farm a great
educational work is being carried
on
The forty-acre farm. near the sta
ton at Bacon, is part of a tract of
land which was considered among
the poorest of Sussex county. II has
now, however. been brought to such
a state of cultivation that all manner
of vegetables and products of the
farm are raised. Among them are
lima beans, string beans, sweet corn,
onions, okra, peppers. sweet and
white potatoes tomatoes, Chinese cab
bage, cantaloupes. watermelons, cot
ton plants, clover COW peas and soy
beans.
The object of planting the many
varieties has been to show what can
be accomplished on land which was
supposed to be virtually worthless
and unfit for the growth of anything
but weeds.
All of the experiments have more
than paid for themselves and it has
been clearly demonstrated that the
now barren land of lower Delaware
can be turned to good use.

SCHENK DEFENSE
GETS HARD BLOW
Important Testimony Ruled
Out by Court.

Wheeling Jan. 23.-In the trial of Mrs.
Laura F. Schenk, accused Of poisoning
her husband, this morning Prosecutor
HandIan moved to exclude from the
court records evidence introduced by the
defense tending to show that there had
been family conspiracy to rid the
Schenk family OF the defendant. The
motion was upheld by Judge Jordan, and
the testimony Of Mrs. Jane Hedges and
DIR. b. F. Morrison was stricken from
the recorus.
With this ruling it was not necessary
for Prosecutor Handlan to Call any of his
witnesses summoned in rebuttal to re-
flute the conspiracy charges. and he an
nounced that the State rested.
Assistant Prosecutor Maury opened the
arguments for the State at BIS this after
noon. When court adjourned he was not
through, and will resume his speech to-
morrow morning. Mr.. Maury pictured
the defendant as faithless wife. seek
ing to rid herself of devoted husband
who had provided for her ever ything in
the world that money could buy.
Mrs. Schenk smiled when Mr. Maury
referred to her joy rides with Dan Phil
lips, the music store clerk, as testified to
by her chauffeur. Lundy Wilson, and
Phillips himself.
