Delaware

Delaware is the most inconsequential
state east of Nevada. 1t is a small
SILVER OF s%eacoast fenced off from the
twentieth century by the Chesapeake

pestefed by fame to any great extent.
Delaware was named after an Eng

state. and yet we should be in a sad
plight, in case of war, if Delaware
should be removed from the map by a
few strong men. Most of the powder

MADE by scientists to regulate the pow

cur only when peaches are ripe. 1t is
estimated that a few good big explo-
slons IN the powder mills at that time
OF the year would harvest most of the
peach crop of the state automatically.
and thus save thousands of dollars in
labor.
Delaware is about 100 miles long, but
is not as wide as the Thirty-second
ward of Chicago IN the north end. 1t
has a pleasant climate, when the wind
is just right, but is greatly pestered
by frost. The Delaware frost is as
terrible as the Washington frost or the
frosts in the theater district in New
York. 1t comes like a thief in the
night when least expected. and often
ruins the entire peach crop several
times in the same spring.
Delaware is also noted for it's can
ming factories, which are as numerous
as its churches, and for its politics.
Although Delaware is a very small
state with fewer people than can be
found around a good sized dog fight in
New York city, it is required by cruel
constitution to produce two senators
every six years. This is a hard task
for the little commonwealth. and it
sometimes requires a year or two to
make good. A generous citizen, named
Addicks, once offered to take the en-
tire job off the hands of the state and
go to the Senate himself, but the peo-
pie refused to accept his generosity
after a desperate struggle.
