The ten hour law for womer
workers is not only right in theory
but it is right because of the princi-
pies which are back Of the move
ment. There is no valid reason
why any woman or child should be
compelled to work over ten hours
to gain a livelihood for her own or
families support. Possibly there
are exceptions TO the rule, but when
the women who work in factories
or clerk in stores week after week
for the entire year, are compelled
to remain over ten hours at their
tasks, then it is time for the law to
step into the breach, and limit
their efforts to such point as will
make life more worth the while to
them, and efectually stop the drain
on their vitality. The ten hour
law is all right protect the women
against themselves, if necessary.

THERE is nothing so notable il
the history of American agriculture
development than the large par
which the hen has assumed in rura
industry, so says the Press. Instead
of being an unimportant and ne
glected by-product of the farm, the
poultry yard has become a larger
feature and sometimes the most
valued and remuperative one on
the farm. The breeding of high
class poultry has become a specially.
The exhibits OF the different breeds
of poultry is usually the most inn
portant feature in agricultural fairs
and frequently is the exclusive at
traction in great exhibitions. And
the hen rewards the farmer for this
increased care and importance ac-
corded to her. Last year she and
her sisters, according to Secretary
Wilson, laid not less than I, 700,
900, 900 dozen eggs, valued at
$3.50 900, 900. That is about twice
the value of the potato crop, which
probably cost the farmer more real
labor than do his chickens. Della
ware is deeply interested in the
chicken industry. Why not have
the State Board of Agriculture es-
tablish bureau of poultry, as part
of its duties and interests This
on its face is a very reasonable
proposition. Poultry and eggs are
surely sufficiently large interest
to engage the labors and deserve
the attention of a separate bureau.
Our State Agricultural Department
is broad in its scope and in much
of its work seems very efficient. but
poultry has not in the past occupied
a very large share Of its attention,
and a separate bureau Of poultry
ought to be able to do a good work
and give valuable assistance and
advice that would be very helpful
n the poultry and egg industry.

FOR The GOOD Of CEDAR CREEK.

There has been a wrong understand
ing in the past letters about Cedar Creek,
the writer did not intend to interfere
with any other denomination, or with
any other Sunday School. But it is for
the surrounding of Cedar Creek to lift
up and build up humanity. There has
been deep interest takened in the
Sunday School so far by the children
and also by number of fathers and
mothers.
Now this is the question to be an
swered; What do you want to support
at Cedar Creek a Sunday School, or a
nice fine church and minister of the
Gospel?' Now l an sure there is no
one who is willing to build a chapel
for Sunday School'or a Church.
Fathers and mothers where are you?
We all realize that there should be some
arrangements made for Sunday School
at Cedar Creek, providing that you
want school, and please remember,
let your choice be what it will, it must
be supported by the people of Cedar
Creek if there is a success made.
Now the thing for US to do is to meet
in our Sunday School on Feb. End and
decide what is best for us in the future.
A chapel for Sunday School and do our
own preaching or to pay some one to
preach for US. Remember my friends
that there is no man that will ever
preach you to heaven, because we must
do our own praying and preaching if
we ever get to Heaven.
If there be any father or mother who
cannot get out to Sunday School Febru-
ary End, please send a note by your
friends or children, stating your opin-
ion, and may we all ask God to help US
choose the right way for the good of
Cedar Creek.

WHAT has become Of the move
ment to secure a playground" for
the children of Milford? About
one year ago the ladies agitated
this movement, and the CHRONICLE
devoted some space to keeping
their efforts before the public, but
the effort seems to have died from
lack of public interest. We be-
lieve that the town of Milford
should have an athletic field where
the children and the young men
and ladies of the town, could have
opportunity for outdoor exercise in
popular games, and where the peo.
ole generally could witness their
sports. Such pleasures are part of
the makeup oflife, and they would
make the future generations better
and more robust Get after the
playground proposition real hard,
and it will come quick enough, for
we believe there are progressive
people who will help when the
right people get after the scheme.

THE bill before the Legislature
which purposes to provide for the
amendment of the constitution SC
that the word ''male" shall be
stricken from that instrument, so
that women suffrage can become a
part of their privileges in Delaware,
is right and proper from any and
every point of view. The women
of Delaware are equally capable of
self-government as the majority of
the men, and their rights should be
accorded to them. Amend the
constitution and strike down the
bar against the best part of our
population.

WILLARD SALISBURY has at

earthly aspirations, and will take
his seat as one of the United States
Senators for the State of Delaware

bitterness in future political affairs.

THE FIRST new Law.

WILSON hi. YINYARp
The Ocala banner. (Ocala, Marion County, Fla.) 1883-194?, 1913-06-20

WASHINGTON trusted with a deep III
lection, and whom the army loved for
his gallantry, entered into correspond
ence with the enemy; arranged to give
West Point and the posts dependent
upon it into their hands; and, his trea-
son suddenly detected, escaped with
out punishment to the British sloop OF
war that waited In the river for the
British agent in the plot.
Washington was at hand when the
discovery was made. His aides were
breakfasting with Arnold when the
traitor was handed the note which told
him he was found out; and Arnold had
scarcely excused himself and made
good his flight when the commander
in-chief reached the house.
Overcome With Grief.
When Washington learned what had
happened, it smote him 80 that mighty
sobs burst from him. as If his great
heart would break; and all the night
through the guard could hear him pac-
ing his room endlessly, in a lonely
vigil with his bitter thoughts.
He did not in his own grief forget
the stricken wife upstairs. GO to Mrs.
Arnold" he said to one of his officers,
"and tell her that, though my duty re-
quired that no means should be neg
lected to arrest General Arnold, l have
a great pleasure In acquainting her
that he is now safe on board BIRTHS p.
vessel.
Arnold had deemed himself wronged
and insulted by congress-but what Of
fcer that Washington trusted might
not? Who could be confided in if such
men turned traitors?
But a sudden turning of affairs
marked the close of the year.
CORVALLIS had penetrated too far
into the Carolinas; had advanced in
to North Carolina, and was beset, as
Burgoyne had been. by a rising of the
country. He lost twelve hundred men
at Kings mountain October z.
1880, as Burgoyne had lost a thou
sand at Bennington; and everywhere.
as he moved, he found himself check
ed by the best officers the long war
had bred-Nathaniel Green, who had
been Washington's right hand man the
war through; Henry Lee, the daring
master of cavalry, whom Washington

CORVALLIS OutgeneraIed.


CORVALLIS OutgeneraIed.
He was outgeneraled; his forces
were taken in detail and beaten, and
he himself was forced at last into
Virginia.
BY midsummer, 1881, all his interior
posts were lost, and he was cut OF
from Charleston and Savannah by
country he dared not cross again. In
Virginia, though at first he raided as
he pleased, he was checked more and
more as the season advanced by
growing force under Lafayette; and
by the first week in August he had
taken counsel of prudence, and estab-
lished himself, seven thousand strong,
at Yorktown, near the sea, his base
of supplies.
The Final Blow.
Then it was that Washington struck
the blow which ended the war
At last ROchambeau was free to
move; at last a French fleet was at
hand to block the free passage of the
sea.
The Count de Grasse, with twenty.
eight ships of the line, six frigates
and twenty thousand men, was in the
West Indies, and in August sent word
to Washington that he was about to
bring his whole fleet to the Chesa-
peake, as Washington had urged. Eth
er the Chesapeake or New York, had
been Washington's prayer to him.
Making as If he were but moving
about New York from north to south
for some advantage of position, Wash
ington suddenly took two thousand
Continentals and four thousand
Frenchmen, all the long four hundred
miles to York river in Virginia, to find
CORVALLIS already entrapped there, as
he had planned, between Grasses feet
in the bay and Lafayette intrenched
across the peninsula with eight thou
sand men, now the French had loaned
him three thousand.
Praise From CORVALLIS.
A few weeks siege and the decis-
i've work was done, to the admiration
of CORVALLIS himself. The British
army was taken.
The generous Englishman could not
withhold an expression of his admir-
alton for the extraordinary skill with
which Washington had struck all the
way from New York with six thousand
men as easily as If with six hundred.
But, after ALL he added. your ex-
cellency's achievements in New Jer-
sey were such that nothing could sur
pass them"

neither peace nor ease in affairs. The

wounded behlnd him, and Washing
toms chance to crush him was gone.
Great Frederick's Opinion.
Clinton gained no advantage ex-
cept to reach New York with the
wreck of his army" commended the
observant Frederick over sea; Amer
lea is probably lost for England"
But a great opportunity had been
treacherously thrown away, and the
war dragged henceforth with every
painful trial of hope deferred.
French Fleet OFF Sandy Hook.
A scant three weeks after Clinton
had reached New York. the Count
d'Estaing was off Sandy Hook, with
French feet of twelve ships of the
line and six frigates, bringing four
thousand troops The British fleet
within the harbor was barely half az
strong; but the pilots told the eau
tious Frenchman that his larger ships
could not cross the bar. and he turned
away from New York to strike at
Newport, the only other point now
held by the British in all the country.
That place had hardly been in
vested, however, when Lord Howe ap-
peared with a stronger feet than the
French
Fleet Sails to Boston.
D'Estaing was obliged to draw of to
meet him; a great storm sent both
fleets into port to refit instead of to
fight: and the disguised militiamen

take the town with the French, with

without which they could do nothing,

There were not transports enough
to move his fifteen thousand men by
sea; only the three thousand loyal
lists who had put themselves under
his protection could be sent in the
ships, with a portion of his stores; he
must cross the hostile country: and
his march was scarcely begun June
18th before Washington was at his
heels. with a force but little inferior
to his own either in numbers or in
discipline.
He might never have reached New
