PLENTY OF FUN
ON WITCH NIGHT
Young People VIII Make
Merry in Halloween March
and House Parties
GOOD NATURED LAWLESNESS
ON THE NIGHTS PROGRAM

'Tis now the very witching hour Of
night" sang Highland Bobby Burns,
Of the weird frolics of All Hallow's Eve
which will be rehearsed again tomor-
row night with all the grotesque and
carefree indulgence that has marked
the Halloween OF tradition.
OF the love of the supernatural of
ancient paganism, all that is left to-
day is this farce observance with re-
STAINLESS rcvels of make-believe fai-
ries, hobgobblins, and wearers of
strange and original costumes. Play
full good-natured lawlessness is the
program and unless you can see 1t, -
and join in the universal spirit of
wreck and ruin the gentle marauders
Will make you the victim of their
whims.
Although there will be no regularly
organized parade tomorrow night
thousands of merry makers will be on
the down town streets.
Many Fireside Parties.
In the residence parts Of the city
the scene will be changed to quiet
fireside parties and storytelling bees
Over nuts and candy, baked apples
and fruit, the children will be enter
tanned with yarns of "the terribles
ghosts in the ruined old CASTLE" and
the deeds of elfs and forefathers until
the fire grows low and 1t is time fol
the sand men to make his rounds.
In the suburban districts it is not ar
unusual thing for farmers to find theil
corn fields and pumpkin patch for
aged at this time. The supply of grair
confetti and jack-o-lanterns for to
morrow night will in most case:
come from this source, for it is no
only an inexpensive pleasure but pro
vides plenty of excitement for tn,
boys. These same small boys will b'
bubbling over with joy to see from
point of secure vantage the bus,
housewife answering doorbell ring
or rushing to the front of the house t
find the cause of a rain Of corr
against the window pane. The morn
ing after will find residents lookin,
for front doorsteps and missing shut
ters
Chestnut and fruit dealers hav
stocked up for tomorrow's big sale
and the season for house-parties vii
be ushered in tomorrow night.

Both Buffalo and Rochester, two Of the most
important cities Of New York state are said to
be under machine rule and peculiar thing hap
pened the other day in Rochester. The entire list
of candidates named by the Democratic machine
for Office declined to serve the reason given being
that the city is under the domination Of a machine
like that of Tammany. In Buffalo the men selected
we're not so squeamish. A printer was nominated
for head Of the engineering department Of the
city and he boasts of his unftness for the posi-
ton. But the grip of machine politics is so strong
IN New York state that the Legislature baked the
attempt TO secure for the citizens of Buffalo a
chance TO vote on the commission form of govern

big city do not understand the alphabet Of proper

Society and Soap.
Portland Oregonian

portland OregOnldn.
Your real single-taxer will tell you
frankly that his ultimate purpose Is to
do away with private ownership in
land and vest it in the state, where il
belongs and where ii has belonged
since society began to expel barbarism
so he thinks, or pretends to think
There is a lot Of gable about the un-
earned increment. Increased values
belong, we hear, to the population that
created them. Confiscation of lands
is therefore the real purpose and rem
edy of the single tax
But does society or the state insist.
or ought 1t to insist, that the individual
shall forfeit to the state everything
all values, all treasure, all savings,
all products, all the blessings and
benefits of opportunity, fortune or his
own nitiative-eXcept such as Re
creates by his own labor? If so, whXt
becomes of the great Fels fortune,
made out of soap2
Soap is a product ard a need of civil
ization Society, and society alone
creates the demand for soap
Population gives Fels his opportunity
to sell his soap. Let every man have
what he alone can take OF get, and LEI
him be denied everything that may be
had through his opportunities, created
/ by other people, and we quickly re-
turn to primitive conditions, where
there is no soap, no culture, no educa-
/ ton, no invention. no progress, no any
/ thing worth having.

HER OPINION OF CONGRESS-.

Representative Roddenbery, who
comes to Congress from Georgia, has
no illusions about the Importance Of
his lob or the esteem in which ma
tional legislators are held at home
He tells this story:
A little Georgia boy, whose father
had Just been elected to the begis-
lature Of that state, said one day:
NAV, pops a pretty big man now
amt he?"
"Oh. dunno" answered his mother
"If he makes a good record they'll
send him to Congress, won't they
maw?"
Il dunno. Maybe / amt ever had
much use for Congress sence they
wouldn't pay for the cotton that was
stole durin' the war. Stll, if they
want to send your paw up there il
don't make no difference as fur's I'm
concerned. They can't swat Con-
gress too hard to suit me."-Brooklvr

sNIDERs PLEASED WITH NEwARK.

A CCORDING to the Newark papers the new
I preserving company which placed plant in
that town last summer has had a successful season
and the managers are pleased with Delaware The
preserving company during the height of the sea-
son received from so to IS tons of tomatoes day
and forty-eght persons we're employed in convert
ing the tomatoes into pulp which was shipped to
Cincinnati. The Newark branch was congratu-
lated by headquarters on the quality of goods turn
ed out at Newark. The new industry is an import
ant one for Newark for it may lead to the eStab-
lishment of a still larger plant.
There should be no better part of the country
than Delaware for the canning and preserving in
dustry and while that industry at present is large.
there is every reason TO believe that it will continue
to grow as Delaware as place for fruit and veg
etable packing is more fully appreciated.

ON THE FARM

IT HE complaint of farmers that II Is difficult to
4 secure help, although wages paid on the farm
are higher than they we're some years ago, is not
confined to any particular part Of the country.
Some time ago. says a Cleveland Ohio, news
paper, hotel proprietor of that city was driving
through farming region near by. He conversed
with a detected looking man working in a field
The man said he owned the farm on which he was
working-it was large one-and that he had
three sons, all young, vigorous and unmarried But
they had all left the farm.
One of the sons was a motorman on an electric
railway, another was brakeman on freight
train, and the third had gone to work in Cleve-
land factory. 1t was almost impossible, the farmer
said, to get competent help
A western lawyer addressing rural life confer
ence in Missouri recently told why he had left the
Farm on which he was born. Among other things
he said:
When was boy the farm we were compelled to
got on clothes until 73O o'clock we fed the livestock
and milked the cows Then breakfast After breakfast
we worked in the field until 1180 o'clock then after
spending at least thirty minutes in caring for the teams
we went to dinner. We went back to work at O'Clock
and remained in the field until 730 o'clock After quit
ting the fields we did chores until $50 or o'clock and
then we We're advised TO TO bed right away so that
-
Many another man brought up on farm can
tell the tale as that of the western lawyer.
The drudgery of farm life in those days oppressed
him. He disIiked the work. There was little or
no time for recreation or social enjoymentS, but
his life one continual grind, such as make
young men shun the farm.
The average life on the farm today
is not what il was some years ago,
but there is still much Of routine and
drudgery about il, and there is small wonder that
many young men prefer the drudgery of the city
to life the farm.
There is an Improvement everywhere as regards
the farm, and with closer communication and
more life, all of which fostered by good roads,
together with the more prosperous condition Of
farming, the chances are that young men will be
more inclined to stick to the farm. If farm life
has its drawbacks il also has its compensatons for
there should be no more independent man in the
world than the well-to-do-farmer. He has no trou-
bic in selling his products buyers are after him
and he escapes many of the petty annoyances that
surround the city business or professional man.

0hy, ~ Delaware.

Dover Republican.
The newspapers of Norfolk. Peters
burg and Charlotte. in Virginia, are
waging a lively war over the question
as to which was the original home Of
the fried chicken. The Birmingham.
Alabama. Age Herald butts into the
contest, and claims that Alabama was
the real original home of the tooth

This week the Baltimore Sun Joined
the chorus as follows:
Without for a moment joining IN
the squabbles of the Norfolk, Charles
ton, Petersburg. or Charlotte news
papers, We feel it our duty to enter a
protest. This thing has gone too far.
Even the most ignorant should know
that all the authorities hold that
fried chicken is a la Maryland. Any
other is only a spurious imitation that
the discerning will decline. Other
states have chickens, but Maryland is
the only one that has the genuine a

Now we don't care to get mixed up
in this fight while the feathers are
flying so thickly, but cannot refrain
from calling the attention of all these
contestants to the fact that the Old
Blue Hen was decidedly and beyond
all argument the mother of the first
fried pullets in this country. Oh
course she was. And right here II
lower Delaware the fried chick still
holds its place on the daily bill OF
