An Exemplary Instance

Another drawback to the producing
of hogs in this state for the market is
the careless and slow way in which our
hog raisers carry on their business.
Instead of having two crops year
they seem to be thoroughly satisfied
with one, a short cne at that, and
lacking both quality and size. The
writer has in mind one hog plant in
this state which if the rest would
copy from would greatly multiply the
production of hogs in California. Our
agricultural colleges have demonstrar
ed time and again that after a hog
crosses the 2O0-pound mark he will not
make you any more money and his
gain in weight will only pay for tn.
food consumed. The owner of this
plant, believing that these college dem
onstrations are true, endeavors to raise
two crops of hogs In one year. his am
bition and aim is to get the first lot
off before the second lot Is weaned
from the SOW, about seven months old.

Delaware meets Defeat
at Hands of Haverford

The boys of Delaware College lined
up against one Of their strongest OPP
ponents last Saturday, when they fought
it out on the gridiron at Haverford, to
the tune of IA to 0 defeat.
The most interesting feature of the
game was in the first quarter. With the
ball on her yard-line, the Delaware team
held the Haverford boys valiantly for
four more downs. The brace was truly
wonderful one and characterized the
game. Every time that the Delaware
boys were made to realize they were up
against it and had to fight to hold their
own, they were there with the stamina,
but it was the quick and unexpected plays
which wrought the greatest havoc. The
Delaware team did not seem to possess
the faculty of meeting attacks unless Civ
en- considerable length of time to pre-
pare their defense.
For the Delaware team Carswell, Cap
tain Huston, Hirshman and Horty play
ell the stellar parts. The entire line put
up a strong fight but there is still room
for improvement inside of the two ends.
Booth Loomis and Cam, the extremes
of the line, are in their old form of last
year, as they showed by Saturdays game,
and should prove a help in teaching the
linemen the finer points. Carswell was
the surprise of the game. Rushed into
the contest at the last moment with a
badly twisted and bruised leg which SER
iously handicapped his running, he plung-
ed into Haverford S line time after time,
ripping holes here and there.
/ On three occasions he broke through
the entire line and got away with clear
! field ahead of him, but on each occasion
he was brought down by flying tackle
from the rear, his bad leg making it
impossible for him to display the speed
necessary for a touchdown.

Lighter Burden
for the Housewife

The claim often put forth by the
housewife, that the improved appliances
for use in the household are compare
lively few compared with those in any
other field, has suffered severe refuta-
tion during the last few years. The in
genious articles offered in the shops
promise to reduce the home-maker Ia
Dor to one-half.
Among these contrivances are the
"Universal products, including the
meat-choppers, bread-mixer, ct cetera.
One of the latest of these is the cake
maker, a description of which may prove
interesting.
The pan, which holds one gallon, is
made of one piece of sheet steel, covered
with heavy coating of pure tin which
does not darken the batter and prevents
rusting. This is clamped to the table
ready for the ingredients. All of the
eggs and liquid are placed first, then
the flour and baking powder and last,
the sugar and slightly softened butter.
The mixing fier, and the bridge and
handle by which the fier is turned, are
all adjusted as one piece. Every good
housekeeper knows that good cake de-
pends upon beating air into the batter.
keeping continually the same motion, and
upon this principle the cake make is
constructed. A beautiful light batter is
turned into the baking pans just three
minutes after the beginning of the pro-
cess. The velocity of the beating fliers
is so great that all the ingredients are
mixed at once, and the result is prize
winning cake. The efficiency of the
simple little device cannot be realized
without trial.
Another of these laborsavers display
ed in the house furnishing departments
of the shops is the vacuum clothes
washer, which the demonstrators claim
will wash the clothes cleaner, whittier
more sanitary and perfect, without any
hand labor, in twenty minutes, than can
be done in any other way. The little
device is in funnel shape, made to fiji

No man in public and professional
life in Delaware, has more personal
friends than L. Irving Handy, VINO, we
regret to note, has suffered what is hoped
TO be temporary breakdown and mas
gone to Europe expecting to find cure.
For many years Mr.. Handy has been
identified with useful activities IN our
little commonwealth, until to-day MS
name is household word in all three
counties. Nor is his intimate acqualnt-
ance restricted to our State. Through
his service in Congress, his campaign
work in other States and his lecture en-
gagements, he has good friends and we'll
wishers in all sections Of our country.
This member of distinguished South
ern family began his work in Delaware
in the educational field. By impulse that
came to him naturally through the biooa
which flowed in his veins, he became ac-
tive in politics and an earnest anu eio-
uuent exponent of Democratic principles
and policies. Even those who dld not
love the politician, loved the man ana
admired the eloquence which seemed SO
natural to him. When finally he was adj
mitted to the bar, he already had WITHIN
the profession host OF friends VINO gave
him cordial welcome and hearty en-
couragement.
We once asked Mr.. Handy to what ne
attributed his happy faculty for making
friends. He replied that his motto al
WAYS had been: "He who would have
friends, must be be friendly In pur-
suance of that policy, he made friends,
and good ones, on all sides. AS a rule
his political enemies have been his per
sonal friends, until today, we think We
voice the sentiments of Republicans and

ives, Socialists, Single Takers and inde
pendents when we express the hope tha

WALKING $4,000 Miles for Water

The North Carolina Christian Ad-
vocate tells the story of a farmer
whose family had to carry water
from a spring about quarter of. q
mile away. His wife, after thirty
years of this work, ,ventured to COM
plain about it and little figuring
was the result. The farmer could
scarcely believe it when he found
that his wife had walked "a 900
miles carrying water from this
spring. AS soon as he realized what
his carelessness in this respect meant
he had q we'll dug right at the
house. Of course, there will be
less walking for the good woman to
do to get water from the well, yet,
if the farmer had figured a little
longer, he would doubtless have
found out that the time and labor
spent in pumping water from the
well would amount to enough to
make this very expensive way of
getting water when compared with
a system of home water-works. The
reason so much unnecessary work of
this kind is done is that people never
stop to figure out just what these
crude ways of doing things really
cost.

Support Your Home Newspaper.
A good local newspaper is one of
the surest signs of a progressive

er's interest to do what he can to
make his county paper good paper.
1t tells him things which he should
know which no other paper can tell
him. Often it will be the best ad-
vertising medium he can use and if
the editor realizes that the farmers
in his territory are trying to help
him make good paper, he is more
than likely to be willing on his part
to advance the interest of the rural
sections. We realize that too many
local papers give practically all their
attention to the town and neglect
the country districts, but we wonder
sometimes if this is not almost as
much the farmers fault as it is the
parer's. Get in touch with your
local paper. Send in to it any item
of news you may have. Let the
editor know about any good farm
ing that is being done in your neigh
borhood. Help him to see that the
prosperity of town is founded up
on the prosperity of the farming
country about it. In this way you
can help him make better paper

WOULD ACCEPT
LANGDON P. 0.
Thos. E. Burke Would Accept the
Appointment as a Life
Long Democrat

To my Friendsand Patrons Of the Lang
don postofice: >
I take this as a means of announcing
myself as a candidate for the appoint
ment to the Langdon postmastership.
One of the principal reasons which
prompts me to make this announcement
at this time is to explain to my friends
the reason I did not get out a petition.
My partner, o. B. Aldrich, has been
sick and IN the hospital for the last ten
days with a very serious operation, and
1 have been so busy that I could not
take the time to get out a petition with
out closing up the office which l could
not do, at this time of the year when
there is so much to do.
There are none who are any more
aware than I am, being a lifelong mem-
Der of the democratic party and know
ing the leaders of affairs of the state,
that perhaps it would be impos-
sible for anyone to get the appointment
to the Langdon p~ostofice without first
getting d petition from the patrons. I
certainly would not want the appoint
ment without at least the good will of a
part of the patrons of the ~postofice.
Since there is quite a little said about
certain peoples qualifications for the
position, I believe l am justified in
making the statement that I am capable
of running the postofice, and if long
years of service in the ranks of the
democratic party is something which
recommends men for the appointment, I
do not believe that anyone will question
my right. If giving financial aid to the
democratic party is n of the require.
ments to be considered, I am certainly
willing to refer anyone to the records.
II it is n of the requisites that a pert
son be poor and needs it, all / have to
say IS that if anyone of the present
candidates for the Office needs it any
worse than 1 do, from that standpoint.
I am sorry for him,
Should I have the good fortune to be
appointed as the postmaster Of the Lang
don postofice, | promise the citizens to
give my full time and attention tt the
duties of the Office.
Considering the last Is year that I
have lived in Langdon and my services
during that time to the democratic
party, [ think I am entitled to con-
sideration, and [ ask the support of my
friends.
Respectfully Submitted,
THOMAS f. BURKE.
