great educational work in which she is engaged 1t
with pleasure note the fact that fully 1000 persons

lowing her departure many others have expressed
regret that they failed TO avail themselves of the op-
portunity that supplied for them to learn useful
things relative to economical and scientific house

In the line of educational work in which Mrs. Vaughn

THE Democratic primaries in this city will be held
tomorrow.
The Republican primaries will be held on next Sat
urday.
It has been decreed by the Salisbury machine that
DR. j. Harvey Spruance shall be the Democratic cand
date for Mayor and that other favorites of that
chine shall be nominated for the other places the
ticket We think il safe TO assert that the machine
made ticket to which the Thursday primaries will give
birth will be defeated Overwhelmingly in the June cleo

nenbs against the Democracy. In addition, the local
Democracy is racked by discussion That is especially
true of those wards which normally Democratic.
Thanks the graceful withdrawal of Colonel Slower

in the nomination Of City Treasurer James f. Price
for Mayor For several of the other places the ticket
there win be spirited contests The rivals for those
places are men of such calibre however that a good
ticket is assured. matter how the primary contests

sTRIkING COMPARIs0Ns.

UsT now there is much gleeful chirp and chatter
q from the leading members OF the administration
regarding the hopeful condition Of business. To
certain extent the outlook is better, but the country
should labor under msapprehenson TO the cause
The in Europe has built up about the United States
a protective wall and is giving the tarin protection
that the Democrats took away in their tariff bill. Tho
Wilson Underwood law opened wide our doors to for
eien products; the European conflict prevents the
f0TeiEn producer from taking advantage of the
tuny thus given. That is the real for the pres
ent business squirt plus the war which this
try is receiving
The proper comparison of present business condi-
tions is not with the immediate past but with those
conditions which existed before the Democrats
into For this purpose, the two years of 1912
and 1914 afford excellent barometer. they

this same percentage were applied 10 other employ

bonds and stocks amounting TO Ss3OOO0OO. In 1912,
the railroads sold under foreclosure represented 700

In the light of such facts and figures the members

from making claim to any credit for the present out

IN the Harrington Journal.

From the Harrington Journal.
Now that Harrington is preparing
for the summer trade and sports why
is it we cannot have a business mems
association for the benefit of the
growing business interests of the
town? IL looks like our merchants
are neglecting their duty by not put
ting their shoulder to the wheel and
helping to increase the business of
the town. They are reaping the har-
vest by devoting their entire time to
their stores and allowing others to
work and make arrangements for our
prospective enterprises. 1t is their
duty to give at least a part of their
time and interest to prospective inn
provements, and more so than private
citizens. Why sleep on while adjoin-
ing towns are forming organizations
to improve and promote the business
interests of their towns? Wake up!
And if we can't form a live board of
trade" form business mems associa-
ton, then arrange for big Fourth of
July celebration. Show your cuato-
mers that you appreciate their trade,
and want them to come TO Harrington
to do their shopping and enjoy them
selves. DO your duty toward your
town and organize.

CORN GROWING AND CANNING.
ON the Dover State Sentinel.

From the Dover State Sentinel.
The Boys Corn Clubs and the Girls
Canning Clubs in this country will do
much towards solving the problem of
keeping the boys and girls on the
farm. Boys and girls will stay where
they find worthy cause to employ
their time and energies. Boys and
girls do not like to stick TO failures
and dead enterprises. The poor far
mer may call his brightest children
to his help, and together they may
make the old home place a paradise
on earth. 1t will take a lot of hard
work, but the hard work will be half
the pleasure of the whole affair-the
rich reward will be the other half.
The consciousness of some worthy
task well done is the reward that the
right thinking boy and girl are seek
ing. There is no better place than
the farm to make happy home;
there is no sphere in life more honor
able or more useful than home-mak-
ing. All these will appeal to right
thinking young people.
