DOES AWAY WITH DRUDGERY
Dlsh-Drying Racks, Home Made, will
Tighten Labor Always Consid-
cred Disagreeab!e.

In the removal, washing, and replac-
ing of dishes there is room for much
improvement. This duty Is usually
disliked, but under proper manage
ment it should not be distasteful. First,
there is the use of the service truck.
This Is a small table of two or three
shelves, mounted on rather large
wheels, used to transport dishes be-
tween the table and the serving pan
try. There are several dish-washing
machines, but for the average house
hold they are not required. However,
every household can use, and should
adopt, drying racks. These may be
easily made. If made of metal and
glass;, with shelves of round wooden
rods, lamps placed near the bottom
will give sufficient heat to dry dishes
quite rapidly. The drying rack should
be placed near the washer. so that as
the dishes are washed they may be
placed within. The washing and dry
ing process may be accurately timed,
and fair standard determined.

pert to race with the Mercury" at auto
events. has engeged Lestrange. and at
the French factory Emily encounters the

DR.. EMIL HIRscH FAvORs PORK CHOPS

DR.. Emil G. Hirsch, preaching to
the young Jews Of Chicago, who are
departed from orthodoxy and lacking
religious anchorage" under the aus
pieces Of the Peoples Synagogue asso-
citation, created sensation when he
denounced the devotion to "supersti-
tious observance that characterizes
orthodoxy In some Of its manifesto
tons, and said:
Il urge you that, instead of ponder
ing about the observance Of the
dietary laws, abstaining from certain
foods, you lead lives Of righteousness
and help to spread our religion among
the people. We believe In one God
and that God In spiritual form. Let
~ carry his word to our brethren.
1.-THE Reformed Jewish church has
nothing to do with obsolete forms Of
religion. It has to do with the uni0-
cation OF the peoples Of the earth I'M

AsQUITH DEFINES ENGLAND's POSITION

Speaking at the new lord mayors
inaugural banquet the other night,
Prime Minister Asquith made the
emphatic statement that he believed
it to be the general opinion of Europe
that the Balkan states should not be
robbed of the fruits of their victory.
Premier Asquith referred to the
unsuccessful efforts of the powers to
prevent the conflict and to the great
changes the war had made in the map
of Europe, and continued:
In these anxious times it is salts
factory to be able to announce that
the relations of England with the
other powers, without single excep-
ton, were never more friendly and
cordial.
THE great powers are working
together with closeness Of touch
and a frankness Of discussion which
is remarkable and which may seem
almost unintelligible to those who be-
heve that because, for certain pur-
poses, the powers have been and are

Glendale Man Acquiring Much
Town Pro 3erty.

The terrific dOwnpOur of rain, which
was accompanied by much thunder and
lightning last Monday night and Tues
day, has completely inundated the low
lands here. Farm work is at a standstill
as a result. The pleasant weather of last
week allowed most of the farmers to get
their land in condition for planting, but
the heavy rains have now flooded the
fields. Many of our farmers are
sitting around the fires with gloomy
countenances and predicting all kinCs of
dreadful conditions for next winter As
for US, we know that sunshine will fol-
low the rain, and everything will come
out all right. Our fruit trees and berry
plants are giving every indication of
bumper crop.
Our machinist and farm implement
dealer, John Ennis, is now selling many
riding harrows and plows to our farmers.
This speaks well of the progressiveness
of our tillers of the soil. The plows are
doing very satisfactory work, and it is
likely that many more will be in use be
fore another season goes by.
While returning home from Whining
ton in Esquire Ellegood s automobile last
Sunday, John Ennis had a break down
near MiddletOwn. A rod broken in half
Mr.. Ennis took the brokrn rod and going
to farm house heated the two ends.
He then welded it together. His knowl-
edge as a blacksmith was of much bene-
fit to him in his trouble. He saws that
the ride down State was a beautiful one,
and that all vegetation is now very
pretty.
Reuben Smith, of near Bridgeville, has
moved here and assumed charge of Bob
Clendaniel's saw mill. His father-in-
law Mr.. Moore, of Oak Orchard, visited
him last Sunday.
The most cheerful face that we see
around town now is that of our friend
Mr.. Abidee, a retired Office holder of
Philadelphia. Mr. Abidee spent some
time with us about two years ago when
he came here to regain his health, which
at that time was run down. After re-
gaining his health, he again returned to
he city. His beautiful wife accompan-
ed him on this visit, and both are very

On Thursday ii was discovered that
several seines belonging to fishermen OF
the town had been mutilated and render
ed unfit for use by vitriol in the hands
of two suspects. Two seines belonging
to John Robinson and bought new at the
commencement of the fishing season,
worth $500; one seine belonging to Ed d.

of Fithian 5 store over the river, and an
other belonging to Samuel Bailey at the
lower cannery were partly saturated with
vitriol. The wicked deed was not dis
covered until Thursday, as above related
but the act is supposed to have been
committed on the preceding Tuesday
night. Detective Walls was phoned for
and arrived from Georgetown that after
noon, and began to make inquiries, the
result of which was the arrest of two
suspects, and their arraignment before
Squire Collins. No positive evidence
against them being presented, the case
was dismissed, and the men discharged.
At a public meeting held in School
Hall on Wednesday evening it was agr, ed
that Memorial Day should be observed

profound respect for the departed.
