NO CRITICISM
OF POLICE CHEF

Members Of the Delaware Saenger-
bund, who last week appointed COM
mittee to learn just what rights an
incorporated club has with RESPECT to
the sale Of liquid refreshments to
members. want more light on the sub
ject. They feel that since the auth
critics stopped the sale Of checks TO
members at a ball recently held in
German Hall by the society. a more
definite understanding should be
reached with respect to the privileges
such incorporated clubs are entitled
to enjoy.
The committee appointed by the
Saengerbund was not named 10 in
yestigate Chief OF Police George
Black nor was the chief criticised by
the organization as a whole. as some
newspaper articles implied but was
named to take up the question with
other first class clubs to learn Just
where they stand.
It Is not the intention of the Saen-
gerbund, which is one Of the best
known German organizations in the
city, TO violate any law. but the men,
hers are in a quandery as matters
stand and want more light on the
subject.

The Joys of a Producer.

Cherry culture is both possible and
attractive to a woman, because brains
count for more than Drawn The scien-
tthc pursuit of horticulture is q mat
ter Of thrift, good judgment and adapt
ability to the work, coupled with pains
taking industry. The proper site is q,
well drained slope, with a soil Of rich,
sandy oam. The trees must be headed
low; the limbs must be cut when they
are small or the tree will bleed to
death; must distinguish between
the leaf bud and the fruit blossom;
~forethought and III are necessary
from first to last.
A Colorado woman who has made q
success Of cherry culture writes Of it
as follows:
There is no consequences or lack Of
company, even II one is alone, in q
home like this. Every bird becomes a
friend and even the trees seem to vie
with each other as to which shall carry
the greatest load of fruit to maturity.
Harmony and a are everywhere
apparent, instead Of fault finding and
dissatisfaction one gets accustomed to
in dealing with humanity. With the
return Of spring all things are new.
One nay blot out everything in the
past but pleasant memories and begin
life anew. Each year a palmer vision
OF a new heaven and a new earth
passes before the owner as she sees
the fruits Of her labors and realizes
that she has Joined hands with nature
and a become a producer"
