The Christ
mas Ship

The plan to send Christmas
ship to Europe should receive a
measure of support from every
body in the United States Awful
suffering in Europe is caused by
the prolonged war. The ener-
gies and resources of the coun-
tries involved in the struggle are
largely absorbed. On the women
and children, many Of them poor,
husband and father dead or
wounded or far away from home
fighting in the trenches, the for
tunes of war fall heavily. Let us
all help the Red Cross to send its
Christmas ship, laden with articles
Of comfort and joy for these poor

Want Squirrel Law Repealed

Gunners and farmers generally
throughout Delaware are making
complaint over the squirrel laws
enacted by the last Legislature. At
that time the date of the open sea-
son was changed from September
Is to November Is, the same as
the rabbit and partridge season.
At this time Of the year the squir-
rels have stopped breeding and
are in good condition. The farm
ers gnerally are complaining that
the squirrels are eating large
quantities Of corn from the shocks,
and they prefer the old law to the
new one. 1t is likely that steps
will be taken to bring the squirrel
clause of the game laws before the
next session of the Legislature, in
order that some change may be
made in it.

Mildred Hall Has Good Time
at Her Grandma's

Dear Editor and Juniors:
AS l have not written for long
while I will write on "The Best Place
to Live, Country or City,"
II think the country is the best
place to live because out in the coun-
try one can breathe the fresh, pure
air, while in town there is dirt, SCOT
and smoke from the factories and
houses and trains.
Then one can get out of doors and
work and get exercised more than in
town.
Farmers can raise animals and es-
pecially horses, which l like very we'll.
Very few people can have horses in
town. .4 --.
I'm the country children are more
free and can run about without being
in danger of getting killed all the time.
Otherwise it is not so dangerous I'M
less a small child should get behind
an animal that would kick.
People can almost live on what
they raise on farm. From chickens
they get eggs and meat and feathers.
From cows, beef and milk, and from
milk, butter. From hogs they get the
pork or the money. From sheep, wool
fields come vegetables, fruit and grain.
There is all the noise and tumult
in city. All is quiet and peaceful and
there is so much one misses by living
in town. Hayrack rides and parties
in summer, bob-sled rides in winter
and there is usually hill nearby to
coast on, while in Ottumwa the South
side has no hills and on the north side
traffic Is so great that there is not
much sliding done. Then there is
threshing and fruit gathering in the
fall and flower picking in the spring.
"Although I live in Ottumwa
would much rather live in the country.
When I go to my grandma's l always
have something to do-run in the
woods. go down to the pond, gather
eggs, go out with the dog and get the
cows. play in the buggy, play ball with
the dog, watch them thresh or go an3
pick berries. When it is muddy | 60
wading.
