HUMAN HAZE
BY The REV. R. L. JACKSON

Imitation" said Sir John Eliot, is
the mistress of our lives When we
consider some of the good fashions
this mistress has set agoing in the
world, we are inclined to vote her a
pretty good dame. But not all Of
Mistress limitations works are of a
beneficent character. She often trans
forms herself into a veritable tyrant
and coerces men into ways that are
foolish and absurd. In the person OF
the ubiquitous Mrs. Grundy she puts
a question on every attempt at indi-
viduality with her query, What will
people say?
Succumbing 10 her hypnotic spells,
humanity suffers a deadly sameness
to overtake it's manner of thought and
life. Most irrational animosities of
feeling. belief and action ensue. AS
striking illustration of irrational
unanimity, take the head gear Of
women. Modern millinery is shrek

absurdity that heads we're made for
hats. Creations that outrage ones

perfectly lovelies." AS a matter OF
fact there is more real loveliness III

MARYLAND VOTE SELLERS.

HE only Republican member of the last ses-
= sion of the Maryland Legislature from the
Eastern Shore was Dr. Charles H. Rose Of Talbot
county.
Addressing meeting at Centervillc Queen
Annes county the other evening Dr. Rose created
what was called sensation by declaring that
he had the names Of l2s white voters Of Talbot
county who had sold their votes for $40 each at
tie last general election.
He also charged that on the last Grand Jury
OF his own county there we're six vote-buyerS and
two vote-sellers
The statements Of Dr. Rose are pronounced RI
dicuious by the States Attorney AZ Centerville,
who declares that since the passage of the Corrupt
Practices act by the Maryland Legislature the
elections in Talbot county have been guarded
closely
Perhaps Dr. Rose will be called upon TO prove
ms charges, and perhaps he may he as success

democratic fraud in one Of the Eastern Shore
counties az one Of the elections

VINO thought that vote buying had been abandon
ed on the Eastern Shore
ne most effective way in which to deal with
men who sell their votes is TO disfranohise them

The Delaware Legislature has no
doubt done a great thing in passing
the DUPONT boulevard bill. We be
lieve SO. II is true that much was
taken for granted and a power un-
equalled In the history of the State
has been placed In the hands Of one
man or his corporation, but with tho
overwhelming preponderance Of SEN
timent in favor of taking advantage
Of Gen. duPont's maguanimous offer
the Legislature with the little time
left for consideration, did what SEEM
ed 10 them for the best. The bill
should have had more consideration
However. It Is now a law and Is up tc
Gen. DUPONT to carry out his promise
We believe when tho boulevard IL
built. provided it strikes close to the
Incorporated towns Of the State, Il
will be the greatest thing that hal
happened for Delaware I'm many day
II opens great and untold possibilities

VALUE OF FARM LANDS.

n ANSAS is said TO lead the States in the in
~ crease in the value of farm lands during the
last decade. According to the figures of the Census
bureau the Kansas farms were worth 90 per cent
more in 1910 than in 1900
Massachusetts seems to be at the end of the
list, according TO reports available. The increase
in the value Of farm lands in that State during
the decade was only q per cent In the New
England States there is decrease Of three per
cent in the actual number OF farms and reduc-
ton Of nine per cent. in the number of acres
devoted TO farming.
The rise in the value Of farm products has been
almost as great in Massachusetts as in Kansas,
but Massachusetts, is a manufacturing State it
is not surprising that there should be a reduction
In the acreage. But II would seem that
there should be larger increase in the value of
the farm lands If the accepted theory that the
building of towns, the making of good roads and
things of that kind enhance the value Of farm
property.
Kansas is a different Kansas from twenty years
ago. Farming is different in all the States. The
great advance IN the value OF farm products has
placed the farmer new scale
Here in Delaware during the next ten years our
farms should leap in value il the development
Of Delaware is carried on as we think and hope
Il will be.

SNAIL INDUSTRIES.

HE temporary reduction of the force OF men
employed at the shops of the Pennsyl-
vania Railroad Company should teach lesson 10
those who have the industrial welfare Of Whining
ton at heart II is that Wilmington should have
more small industries. To be sure we have some
small industries and have some great ones. If
a great industry, like the car shops, closes
there is heavy loss TO the city. All feel it. Even
concerns SO well managed and prosperous as the
PENNSYLVANIA Railroad Company upon occasion
find 1t necessary to reduce their force. That IS
natural in all business There may be dull times
or there may be other reasons.
f we have large number of diversified indus
tries, the temporary closing Of one or several Of
them is not so serious matter as that of a set
back in the shops Of great concern.
Some Of the most prosperous Pennsylvania
cities base their prosperity on the fact that they
have many and small industries. They hum with
work Wilmington should have both great and
small factories and mills. No other city in this
part of the country surpasses us in natural adj
vantages for manufacturing. The competition for
factories is keen and we should constantly be try
ing to locate new enterprises in this city if we
are TO forge ahead in the procession.

Of grafters working the country
fishing for suckers of that sort.

ciple that on the basis OF sixty
two persons being born every
minute, fifty-nIne of them being
suckers and the other three viii

These statesmen are long or

They handle an inferior article
which they sell at a ridiculously
high figure, through the smooth

junk, and they get your note, the
only comeback is the note, and
it will come back on time. These
grafters are never foolish enough
to do business with a poor GUS
toner. They sell at a profit
which enables them to discount
your bankable note and still
have a fair margin OF profit in it
for them. If you're not able to

THE STORM
ter

The storm that held the whole
country in it's grip for the past
ten days has been perhaps the
most severe in the history for
this season OF the year. The sud-
den changes from extreme warm
to extreme cold was amazing.
At Denver the mercury dropped
80 dergress in ten minutes At
Chicago a man working in an
open warehouse was overcome
with heat during the forenoon,
and that night the thermometer
registered within six degrees OF
zero. Thesefacts are hardly con-
ceivabIe by a resident OF the
Boise Valley The storm at Par
ma did not even interrupt build
ing operations, the men who are
pntting in the concrete founda-
tion for the new Kirkpatrick
building. having worked right
along without interruption. lt's
good to be resident OF this sec
ton in the winter time; likewise
in spring, summer and autumn.

PROSPERITY,

Mr.. and Mrs. George Garrison,
daughter and son-in-la law OF Ham
Kaufman OF Parma, will pass
through here Saturday evening
enroute for Sargent, Nebr., where
they go to visit Mr.. Garrison's
father, an old war veteran, who
is in a very critical condition and
ready to respond to the eternal
command from on high when
"taps" shall be sounded. Ham
will accompany them as far as
Caldwell.
Three years ago last holiday
week Mr.. Garrison bought land
one mile from Fruitland at 5000
per acre. He built a house and
set ten acres of orchard. He got
two fine crops from this land, re-
alizing last year $500 from four
acres of onion seed, and the re-
mainder OF his lapd produced S5
bushels of corn to the acre and
300 hundred bags OF potatoes.
This farm he sold last January
for 1925 per acre. He then got
a snap on another piece of land
lat 5000 per acre, one-half mile
nearer FFuitland. On this he
built a commodious residence.
He planted it to fruit trees. Be-
tween the tree rows he set 10000
cabbage and planted corn. The
result was Il splendid remunera-
tion for his summers work. But
that does not express all of it.
Last week he sold his farm for
$500.50 per acre.
These are absolute facts, and
are only an average of the revo-
lutions in real etate transfers.
Many such opportunities are
open and obtainable around Par
ma, in its new irrigation facili-
ties, and eastern people should
begin to learn that more and
better dividends can be obtained
from a ten acre Southern Idaho
fruit farm than can br obtained
from the best 160 agricultural
proposition in either Nebraska
Iowa or Illinois, and YOU don't
have to travel 700 miles to prop
erly cultivate it, either.

TO locate near Vancouver, Wash

and little granddaughter viii

Boise Valley to
Build Extention
to Weiser, Ida.

The Idaho-Oregon Light &
Power Company recent purchas-
ers of the Boise Valley Electric
Railway company, proposes the
construction OF an extension in
to Parma, bringing that thriv-
ing city in close electric commu-
nication with Boise.
G. NJ. Wright, contracting agent
for the Idaho-Oregon, was in
Parma last week on a trip of in
spection, followingout the plans
for the extension. The company
has recently secured an electric
and power franchise in that city.
He stated to business men while
there that the Idaho Oregon has
ordered machinery for a sub-sta-
tion at Parma and hopes to have
the same installed by April l..
He stated further that the Boise
Valley electric railroad from
Boise to Nampa, which the Ida
ho-Oregon company has recently
purchased, will be extended as
rapidly as possible to Weiser,
passing through Parma. In re-
gard to denomination between
the Kuhns and the Idaho Oregon
people, Mr.. Wright said that he
knew OF nothing that would in
dlcate anything of the kind, but
on the contrary they seem to be
as far apart as any two corpor-
tions ever get.-Capital News.
