Delaware farmers and horticultursis have some
thing to learn from the operations Of the Eastern
Shore of Virginia Produce Exchange II received this
year, for the produce It Sold about S4.0OOOO0 The
stockholders received dividend OF ten per cent and
after that had been paid there remained fund Of s26
600 be disposed Of II decided to carry onehalf
of that amount to surplus and distribute the re-
naming $4,000 among shippers who had used the ex-

Projecting wireless message through the air from
Honolulu to Washington is the latest remarkable
achievement in the field of wireless telegraphys II
ecpses all previous records for distance. the pro-

projection was 5000 miles made by Marconi when on

! 10 or IL o'clock at night; they work
without ceasing the whole of that
time, and receive no other emolu-
ment than food and the plainest
kind of clothing; they understand
something of every branch of econ
omy and labor, from finance to cook
ing; though harassed by hundred
responsibilities, though driven and
worried, though reproached and
looked down upon, they never revolt,
and they cannot organize for their
own protection. Not even sickness
releases them from their posts. No
sacrifice is deemed too great for
them to make and no incompetence
in any branch of their work is ex-
cused. No essays, books or poems
are written in tribute to their stead
fastness. They die in the harness
and are supplanted as quickly as
may be. These are the housekeep-
ing wives of the laboring men.
The Editors Advantage.
Did you ever stop to think of how
many more whacks the editor gets
at his victim than any other bust
ness man in town does? With the
editor the whacking process lasts
from the cradle to the grave. When
a person is born, even before the
preacher gets chance to baptize
him, the editor has congratulated the
happy parents and has specified in
extravagant phraseology the weight.
sex and pedigree of the new arrival.
At the christening the editor often
manages to squeeze out a personal
item of interest to his readers, which
is far better than the preacher can
do, for he has to charge up his labors
to. the Lord, who is far harder to get
cash out of even than a subscriber.
When the victim graduates from the
town high school the editor gener-
ally expects to reap about column
of good reading matter and often
prints a picture. Then if the victim
gets married, the preacher gets five
dollars and the editor gets twenty
five dollars worth of surprise for
his readers. When Mr. Victim gets
sick the doctor gets faint chance
of some day collecting bill against
him, but the editor has some cash
news every day, telling the patients
many friends" how he is getting
along. And then if he dies, the ed
itor gets the most valuable news of
all. Not that he is ever glad of the
misfortune, but the news is WORT
money to him just the same. Maybe
the undertaken gets a little more
than the editor, but it is the only
chance he has had at the victim dur
ing his whole career, while the editor
has been pulling something out of
him all along the line.
