The Corn Loss

Twice before in the last twenty
years the corn crop has suffered
very serious injury--in 1894 and
1901. Both times the yield fell
one-quarter below the average of
the three preceding years. The
first time it was a calamity-the
second time merely an unfortunate
incident; but if the damage this
year as i'll the two years named
probably it will make hardly any
perccptible impression upon buSi-
ness.
The reason, of course, is that any
single crop is relatively less import
ant. With the steady advance of
industrial arts no one item counts
for so much. Twenty years ago ex-
ports Of grain cut a very consider
able figure in the national balance
sheet. Now they are insignificant
To go back only to 1901, products
of agriculture under the Interstate
Commerce Commission s classified
tion made up thirteen per cent of
the total railroad freight tonnage.
They now constitute only nine per
cent. In 1901 grain alone made
seven per cent of the total tonnage
against four per cent at present.
In 1901 all manufactures made
hundred and thirty-seven million
tons Of freight; ten years later,
two hundred and sixty-seven mil
lion tons. Nothing is king any
more.

THE WORK OF THE
NEEDLEWORK GUILD
SIN BRANCH TO HOLD REGULAR MEETING

Directors Of the Hockessin
branch of the Needlework Guild of
America are busy collecting gar
ments previous to the annual
meeting to be held at the home of
the president, Mrs. Norman Man
Gill, Yorklyn, on Saturday, Nov
ember Sth, at 2 p. m.
The Needlework Guild is organ
lied to give those ''who have a
chance, in way everybody can af-
ford, to help those who have not. "
The following paragraphs clip
ped from an article published sew
eral years ago i'll the Ladies Home
Journal explain the scope of the
work:
'Of the thousands of people
who, through crime, accident, sick
ness or other adversely, yearly
pass through the medical and other
charitable institutions of this
country, many are insutficiently
clad. These institutions and So
cietes rarely have adequate funds
to supply this lack. Very often the
clothing that is brought with them
must be Immediately burned.
"Consumptives under outdoor
treatment, with it's call for heavy
woolens; the children in day nur-
series, and homes and fresh-air
work; rescue work among men and
women; the work Of the Seamen s
Aid Societies, and the Societies for
Discharged Prisoners; the conva-
lescent patients just leaving hospi-
tals-these and hundreds Of others
demand a large amount Of proper
clothing which the institutions
themselves cannot supply. "Of all
the munificent legacies left for
charitable purposes. it is seldom
that any Of the funds can be used
to supply suitable clothing for out
growing patients. In many cases
those connected with the institu-
tions feel obliged to meet this call
from their own pockets, and most
Of them can i'll afford to do it. Now,
the Needlework Guild accomplishes
just this, for it collects new, plain,
suitable garments for the outgoing
patients in hospitals, homes and
other charities.
THE effect of new, substantial
clothing upon a person destitute
from sickness or other causes is
moral uplift rather than pauperiz-
alton. The Guild does not seek to
take the place or lessen the respon-
sibility of boards Of directors to-
ward their particular charity by .
stocking their linen-closets, but is
designed to supplement and com
plete the works by taking it up at
the point where they are compel
led by circumstances to drop it.

Experts Sec No Relief
From tigh Meat Prices

The Goyernment's S experts de-
clare that meat will go higher, that
there is 10 immediate prospect OF
relief, that there is a shortage OF
beef in the world markets and that
practically the only hope OF rea-
sonabIe prices, or rather of the pre-
vention of still higher prices, lies
in the slow process Of persuading
the individual farmers to return 10
the ancient practice Of raising each
few cattle for market, as their
fOrbears did.
The bulletin issued by the Agri-
cultural Department on this sub
ject is ii thorough study OF the sit
uation from Argentina to Canada,
from Mexico to Australia; its ar
ray Of facts is convincing and the
logic of the argument appears to
be unassaiiable. Here is one state
ment of fact that exhibits at Il
glance the reason for the high cost
of meat In the last six years the
number of beef cattle has apparent
ly fallen off over 30 per cent. while
the population has, of course, IN
creased - In January, 1907, the
number of cattle was 81 900, 600;
at the beginning of the present
year the number was 36,000,O0O.
The sources of outside supply are
limited and can afford only tempor
ary relief because there is short
age in other parts of the world.
Meat will be higher, declare the ex-
.perts, and any permanent remedy
must be found on the ordinary
farmsteads Of the country. The
farmer must be persuaded to raise
cattle. This will be a difficult task.
The farmer has a bitter saying.
" Yes, | know beef is high, but |
see what happens to you if you try
to sell a steer.
The Government experts have a
plan: they want to help the farmer
to get a market; they suggest pub
lie abattoirs to which farmrs may
consign their fat stock so that the
meat may be sold to the consumer
without passing through the
interminable line of middlemen,
each of whom takes his toll. .
1t will be noted that iii the Opl-
Mon of the government is wise ex-
perts meat is sure to be high for
wears. for the task Of persuading
the farmers of this vast country to
do what they believe to be an un-
profitable thing is almost as formid- ]

OPENING FRESH FIELDS
The Needlework Guild owes it's Or
lgln to an English woman of the
nobility, who was foster-mother TO
hundreds of orphans in an institu-
ton with she had founded, and
who conceived this unique and
practical way of providing for her
wards. In 1885, a lady travelling
i'll England learned of this charity.
which had then grown to great
strength, and brought the idea
home to Philadelphia. Her neice,
the founder Of the American organ
lzatlon, Interested few young wo-
men OF her acquaintance. and from
this little band the work has grown,
until now there is national body
governing the Branches throughout
the United States, and constantly
working to extend it's usefulness by
forming new Branches.
There are three hundred and
fifteen Branches in thirty-fve
States. Each Branch controls it's
own work. A town has the simple
organization Of president, vice
president, secretary and treasurer,
and under them work directors
dealing with at least ten members,
who each contribute, annually two
or more new articles of wearing ap-
parel or household linen. Stress is
laid on the word new" " There are
many suitable agencies to handle
partly-worn garments, but the
Guild, by its charter, cannot accept
them.
There is an annual collection and
the clothing is distributed accord
ing to the votes of the directors.
In a city, where the work is larger,
there are section presidents, each
having directors under her; other
wise the general working principle
IS the same. The organization is
lon-sectarian, and men, women |
md children may join.

HOW YOU CAN WORK FOR
THE GUILD.

For financial support, the Guild
requires that each director shall
have one "money-member.' - This
insues a voluntary gift of any
amount, and offers a place where
the men can fit in splendidly. There
are no fees. fines or dues.
The Guild needs afford good
work for members who can knit
stockings, socks, bed-shoes, knee
caps, jerseys, comforters, hoods
crossovers, shawls and mittens. For
the young and old it yields pleasant
for the porch and by
the winter tireside.

NEWS FROM MEXICO

Conflicting stories are coming out of Sonora these days. the advantage of the contending federals and state troops depending on the source from which the news emanates.
 During the last few days the Huerta officials have sent out a story calcu- lated to make the constitutionalistas shiver in their zapatos. It relates how Gen. Pedro Ojeda drew the state forces into a trap at Guaymas and killed many hundred. The story is no doubt greatly exaggerated, if indeed. there is any foundation at all for it. But it goes no further in the direction of exaggeration than many stories given out by the representatives along the border of the constitutionalists, as for instance, the one telling of the capture Of oieda and that other one about Mason killing SIX hundred fed erals in Guaymas by throwing four bombs from his aeroplane.
 The news from Mexico has always been colored to fit the desires ol those giving it out and people on this side O; the border have beer deceived so often that now they pay very little attention to the stories coming from any point, in or ort of Mexico.
 There is only one feature of the news coming from Mexico that every body believes and that is the uniyer sal assertion made by all Americans that the neighboT country across the border 1s going to the devil at very rapid gait and that even if Peacefu condition could be restored now ! would require a number of years t' get the country and its industries baci to that state of prosperity that wal SO marked three years ago when Ma dero started his revolution agains the Diaz government.

CIEVEIkND'S MESSAGE OF LONG AGO.

The Grover Cleveland association observed the fifth anniversary of the death of the expresideRt and leader for tariff reform one day last week and placed a wreath on his grave.
 Twenty-six years have passed since President Cleveland broke prece- dent by devoting all of his message to congress to the tariff. In two pre- oeding messages he had urged tariff revision, but his efforts in that diree ton has been blocked by a combina- ton so strong that two tariff bills pre- pared by democratic leaders for a democratic house failed even to get 3 bearing. Protection democrats under the leadership of Sam Randall then airiIy proposed that the party drop the issue and that the tariff be taken out of politics.
 The principles which Presiden: Cleveland so clearly and simplyset forth in his message of 1887 did not prevail in his time, but the message put an end to RandalIism in the house and made the tariff political issue which could never be settled until set tied along the lines of democratic pol icy. The day when that shall come to pass is near at hand: and while the statesmen of today who are carryine tEe Underwood bill through congress deserve unstinted praise. no one ol them will loom larger in the history Of tari1 reform than Grovef Cleveland
