We fully voice the sentiments of
our esteemed contemporary the Will
mington Evening Journal when it
says: "It is announced that the
Pennsylvania Railroad Company
will prosecute its educational cam
paign in the rural regions with more
vigor than ever this winter and this
should be good news to the farmer.
If the Pennsylvania Company con-
tinues in the work that it has begun
it will become a very important
factor in the upbuilding of the PEN
insula and in developing the farm
lands as they should be developed.
What is called the farmers special
train started tour of the peninsula
beginning on November 20. The COM
pany has also as we have said
before, issued an elaborate illus
trated booklet telling about the ag-
ricultural possibilities of this penin-
sula. The company realizes that
what assists Delaware helps the
company itself. The activity of the
Railroad Company again calls to
mind that it would be a good thing
if those that profess to be concerned
about the future, materially speak
ing, of Wilmington and of the re-
mainder of Delaware could be united
into one cooperative force working
for the advancement of the State.
The State is a ripe field for develop
ments and it is a pity that the op-
portunity offered is not eized by
the progressive men of Delaware. :"

The U. S. Government in its
"Pure Food Law" does not "in-
dorse" or guarantee" any prepar-
alton as some manufacturers in their
advertisements would make it ap-
pear. In the case of medicines the
law provides that certain drugs shall
be mentioned on the labels, if they
are ingredients of the preparations.
Ely's Cream Balm, the we'll known
family remedy for cold in the head,
hay fever and nasal catarrh, doesn't
contain a single injurious drug, so
the makers have simply to print the
fact that it complies fully with the
requirements of the law.

Commenting upon the passing of
the Smyrna House and other old and
noted hotels in the State, the Will
mington Every Evening says: "The
Smyrna Times regrets the passing
of the Smyrna House in that town,
one of the old and notable hotels of
lower Delaware. 1t has been
purchased as a site for Smyrna's
new postofice and soon will be de-
molished to give place to the Federal
Building. And the regret of the
Smyrna Times at its disappearance
will be shared by many others, es-
pecially by those who remember the
generous hospitality, the comfortable
accommodations and notably the ex.
cellent table which they enjoyed at
this good old hotel in the days that
are gone.
Zone by one the hotels of lower
Delaware, for which the State was
noted in its day, are going out of
the business or dropping into that
condition which fills transient guests
with gloom instead of pleasure, and
causes them to leave as soon as pos
sible instead of staying to the limit
and departing with sincere regret.

On the Missouri

Kansas City's first barge load OF
merchandise is in the Missouri
River. Pushed by the steamer
Scott, the barge Endeavor passed
st. Charles, Mo-, f~ifty-five miles
above st. Louis, at 10 o'clock Tues
day morning of last week. A tele
gram from there to A. W. Mackie
secretary Of the navigation COM
pary said everything was running
smoothly.
The barge Endeavor which the
Scott is pushing Is carrying about
two hundred tons OF merchandise
and besides that Il has something
like one hundred tons of old parts
Of the Chester and of the Endeavor
before they were remodeled. The
barge is drawing approximately
three II. Of water. Empty IL draws
b'tw cen eighteen and twenty inch
- and each $50 tons OF cargo puts
II down n foot. Loaded to it's
maximum capacity Of thirteen hun
dred tons It would draw a little
more than six feet.
