] The peach crop on the Greco farms
this year has brought much cash to bis
pocket, as the yield has been good and
! the prices fine. When Greco set peach
] trees On that farm FIVE years ago, other
farmers laughed at his work, declaring
that peaches would never grow on land
s. near tidewater; but the Italian has
quietly gone ahead. and he is now reap
ing the reward in cash.
Fodder saving will begin in this sec
ton next week. Some fields have ripened

EVEN the Every Evening. O
Wilmington, has reached the point
where it chides the liquor interests
for the blindness of its attempts to
break down the enclosing wall Of
restriction and final elimination OF
the liquor business in Delaware.
In column editorial last week the
Every Evening told few truths to
those interested in the sale of whis-
key. 1t charged that they were
lax in observance of the laws, that
they Persistently do things which
antagOuizes the public against the
liquor business. and with continual
interference at the legislature by
attempting to have laws passed
which would nullify the rules laid
down by the courts, as well as the
desires Of the people. The Every
Evening blames this activity on the |
part Of the liquor people, as the
direct cause for the enactment ofI
the Hazel Law, which has so far
effectually stopped the shipments
of all liquor and beer into the two
lower counties. The liquor bust
ness has been made an outlaw
so. far as the interstate traffic laws
are concerned, by the passage of
the Webb-Kenyon Laws by the
United States Congress, and the
enforcement of the provisions OF
that law was made obligatory upon
the individual states, through laws
enacted through their own legisla-
lures, and that is exactly what the
legislature of Delaware has accom- {
plished through the Hazel Law I
the sale OF liquor in, or ,
the shipment of liquor into Kent ;
and Sussex counties. u

Well this little burg is still on the

experience as the world, so far as the
affairs Of life are to be considered. Our
business interests are simply the ordinary
every day affairs; no pushing effort to
accomplish anything, and there is no
likelihood of anything of that kind
happening, until the folks here get a
new stock of ambition.

THE high cost Of living against
which the Democrats clamored last
fall and which in large measure
influenced theresult Of the elections,
has not been remedied after FIVE
months of control of affairs; in fact
the cost Of living has gone higher,
with every indication that it will
still climb upward. Amending the
tariff may be means to effect the
change, but it will not be favorable
to the working man. and when the
laborer is short of cash, business is
always dull.

Get Instructions Early.
Instructions and suggestions from
washington have been lei through
gu the country, but, despite all these,
there still will be considerable trouble.
In order to relieve the situation, the
first assistant postmaster, Daniel G.
Roper, has issued instructions to have
the clerks assigned to parcel post
duty. memorize h first, second and
third class pOstofflces, know as the
presidential Offices, in their Immediate
zones This will obviate the necessity
for employees spending frcnzied mo-
ments looking UP data with crowds
lined up at the windows. A large
number Of names will have to be
crowded into clerical craniums at the
Grand Forks office.
Department officials, in the interest
of time and economy. are also urging
people who expect to use the parcel
post to get their tags in advance, adj
dress them and have them tied to
packages on the day of mailing. The
special tags can be secured at the
p~ostof1ce, and local residents should
obtain the desired number as early
as possible.
This. Of course, necessitates an early
purchase Of the gifts that are to go
out Of town, and consequently the
knife stabs at both ends.
