the traveller who might be resting
here over Sunday. A great i'm
provement can be made in the
singing. There seems to be no reg
ularity or system. Each piece was
sung off pitch and l noticed, tho
you have many sweet voices (and |
judge that many have come down
from the Welsh, the grandest, most
natural voices among the human
race), but it is impossible to pitch
a tune for chorus or congregational
singing without a fork. Good sing
ing attracts while voices singing
not in unison repels the passerby.
You have the talent, and l would
suggest that something be done to
bring the young people of the town
together at these services. The one
who is to lead in the singing should
stand facing the congregation,
pitch each piece, and train the peo-
pie to sing to his beat, then you will
get harmony and sweetness. A
good plan would be to have a cor
net lead, facing the singers. These
services can be made a power for
good in the community.
| shall end, and hope to attend
next Sunday.

Following Mr.. Wilson s address
the audience sang "America,' af-
ter which Mr.. Bancroft introduc-
ed Mr.. Marvel, who spoke in part
as follows:
every American citizen in this
nation today should be proud that
he lives under the American flag.
l believe every one in this audience
will so feel when he stops and
thinks Of affairs in Europe. We are
in the beginning Of the most disas-
II Gus war in history-the conflict OF
the ages which will shake the foun-
dations Of civilization. The hands
Of the clock Of progress have been
set back a hundred years. Men are
marching to death, cities will be
destroyed, empires laid waste at
the nod Of crowned heads. Mark
my words-at the nod Of crowned
heads millions of men will leave
their homes and fight one another.
Such condition is frightful. Con-
trast the state of affairs in Europe
with the situation here. All Eu-
rope is an armed camp; peace and
plenty are our possessions. We
should be happy that our Presi-
dent was cool, and yet firm, when
trouble threatened with Mexico.
We should rejoice that a man of
peace is our leader
State Master Bancroft aroused
much enthusiasm when he an
nounced that Delaware is to enter
tain the National Grange at the
1914 convention next November.
More than 5000 grangers will
come to Wilmington from all parts
of the United States. The farmers
will spend ten days here and will
visit all parts of Delaware. The
preliminary plans will be worked
out at an early day by a committee
representing the national body and
State oranges.
The picnic not only. attracted
Delaware grangers but those from
Chester, Pa, Pennsgrove and Cam
den, n. j., as well. John Garwood
headed the last named delegation.
Music was furnished by orchestras
from Hockessin and Harmony
oranges. At noon a picnic dinner
was served.
The executive committee for the
day consisted of Hervey Walker,
Horace Dilworth, William Mccoy,
William P. Peach, Charles Meg
ginson, Steven Armstrong, E. A.
Evans, j. A. Weldin and Eugene
ShallcrOss.
Members of the Committee on
Arrangements were: Hervey Walk

CHANGERS PICNIC
AT THE SPRINGS
Boost The New Women S
College

Field Day at Brandywine
Springs, the annual picnic OF the
eleven oranges of New Castle coun-
ty. attracted many Of our farmer
friends to the popular park last
Saturday. Fully 5000 persons
were present. An interesting pro-
gram was presented.
Following a short address in
which he expressed pleasure at
seeing so many grangers and their
families present and interested IN
the organization s work, Frank G.
Bancroft, State Master, introduc-
ed Mr.. Wilson of Peoria, ILL.,, Ma
tional master Of the Patrons OF
Husbandry, whom he said has been
a tireless worker in the interest OF
the nation s farmers.
Taking as his subject "Grange
Work and Education Mr.. Will
son delivered an able address. He
declared that the remarkable pro-
gress made in farming during the
past few years has been due in
large measure to the efforts OF the
national grange.
"When some historian writes the
history Of agriculture at a future
date he will be in honor bound to
tell of our fight for better things
and of the results we have obtain
ed Mr.. Wilson said. "The
grange stands for square deal.
1t wants every citizen to have an
equal opportunity. 1t believes that
all-powerful corporporations and
humble workers should obey the
law and is against all forms OF
special privilege.
Progress, advancement, enlight-
enment are the results Of educa-
ton. Every farmers boy and
girl should receive the best educa-
ton it is possible for them to secure
to the end that they may be good
citizens. Education should be
practical. The boys should be
taught how to farm and the girls
how to be home builders. I remem-
ber the story Of the teacher who
called up three little girls in her
class and asked them what they
meant to be when they reached wO-
manhood. One said she hoped to
be dressmaker, the second wanted
to be a milliner, and Mary said
she was not going to be anything,
as she proposed to get married.
That is what we want farmers
daughters to do, to get married
and be home makers.
"The State Of Delaware has just
taken long step forward by es-
tablishing a college for women. Let
us urge the daughters of every
granger to go there and study do

1t Couldn't Be Done

The following verses struck us
as especially appropriate to our
shop. The girls and boys of the
Newark Post are putting things
over every day that couldn't be
done. " just last week one Of these
things came up. As usual,
He started to sing as he tackled
the thing
That couldn't be done-and he did
it,"
1T COULDN'T BE DONE
Somebody said that it couldn t be
done,
But he with chuckle replied
That maybe it couldn t." but he
wouldn't be one
Who wouldn't say so till he
tried.
SO he buckled right in, with trace
of grin
On his face. If he worried he hid
it.
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing
That couldn't be done-and he
did it.
Somebody scoffed: "'Oh, you II
never do that
At least, no one ever has done it,
But he took off his coat, and he took
off his hat,
And the first thing we knew he d
begun it.
With a lift of his chin and a bit of
a grin,
Without any doubling or quiddit
He started to sing as he tackled the
thing
That couldn't be done-and he
did it.

ment, charging the use of the mails
in operation of a number of swindlmg

Rugent's offices in this city were
raided by postoffice inspectors on
March IA last. The volume of bust
ness at the joint headquarters of the
"Irridescent Order Of Isis" and the
Occult School of Sciences was such
that Nugent required the services of

In the literature sent through the

but finally the trustees offered 10
pa for stone If farmers themselves
would apply it Two farmers living
nearest the strip Of road accepted;
the stone came by rail, each farmer
sent teams and neighbors assisted in
the spreading. The ruts were filled
with crushed stone and a top coat
was given for a distance Of z quarter
Of a mile. through the worst Of the
bad stretch; then the farmers re-
turned TO their corn husking. Roads
should not be generally thus repaired

WAR MAY COST THIS
CITY ABOUT 5000

VOfVV'
Mexico has now started paying ap.
proximately S3,033 a year war ta1
on its more important taxable proper.
ty and before the first twelve months
end this sum will likely total in the
neighborhood of $4,000.
The stamp taxes on all bills of lad.
ing, shipments and other small taxes
will add a good many hundreds of dol.
lars extra.
The banks and money-borrowers Of
this city will pay about $4,000. The
principal tax on the banks is a dolla,
a thousand of the capital, surplus and
undivided profits. There is a tax of
cents a hundred on loans but this will
be paid by the borrowers. The loans
of the Mexico banks total about ST.
100000 a year. There are also many
loans made through agents not m
nected with banks that will bring up
the local tax total.
Cigar manufacturers are taxed ac-
cording to the amount of their no
ducts but the product itself is free
from tax. Mexico has one plant that
comes under this head. 1t will pay a
tax of $500.
Theatres must also pay. The two
theatres Of Mexico will pay SIPS in
taxes. The scale Of taxes ranges ac-
cording to the seating capacity. Thea
tres with a seating capacity of less
than $50 must pay $25. Those seating
from $50 to 500 pay $50, from 500 to
300 pay $75, and above 800 they must
pay 500.
All shipments call for a stamp tax,
n cent for each shipment. The
stamp is paid by the shipper. Tele-
grams, notes, and many other items
Of business also pay taxes. The total
tax for Mexico may reach $500 a
year.

MOVEMENT FOR CREAMERY
HERE is ENCOURAGING

Mexico will have a creamery short.
ly that will make ice cream, cheese
and include full dairy facilities, &C.
cording to /. T. Van Note. Mr.. Var
Note says the local Dairy Association
has been negotiating with experienc.
ed dairymen from Illinois who have
made a proposition the local people
expect to accept and everything
points to the establishment of the
creamery here very shortly.
The men from a distance interest
ed, whose names they prefer not to
be published at this time, have been
here and looked over the local field.
They intend to put up a part of the
capital and expect the members of
the Dairy Association to also invest
some money. Mr.. Van Note stated
the Dairy Association looked with
much favor on their offer and so far
everyone approached had signified
their willingness TO aid in financing
the institution.
Further particulars and details will
likely be published as soon as the ne
gotiations have advanced far enough
to assure the establishment of the
creamery.

a little more than he has been for
some time and this exercise is mate
rally strengthening his condition.
The better feeling set in strongly a
fortnight ago. Six per cent interest is
again the going rate on first-class
real estate. Commissions charged on
ordinary conservative loans are CIV
en- now at from 2 to 8 per cent, most
OF the standard firms saying that
they are handling their business on
z or 2h per cent commission.
Good Times Are Ahead.

In Kansas City there is now no
trouble to borrow money on good
property at fair rates." Mr.. Kemp

with little money available, 6 per
cent is now the going rate. That
would be shaded to 5 per cent even
on good downtown property.
