THAT DISGRACEFUL MARRIAGE
MILL"

UNDER the above heading the Will
mington Evening Journal, of Monday
scores the conditions that have come
to prevail in this town with reference
to the marrying business. The Jour
nal says editorially:
The Elkton marriage mill becomes
more and more a reproach to those
persons in the State of Maryland who
are responsible for it's continued exis-
tence.
The number of QUITO -the-State cou-
piles married in that little Cecil county
town in 1914 was 1928. That was
more than 900 in excess of the number
of such marriages performed there in
1918.
Such condition is discreditable to
the lawmakers of the State and to
those preachers in Elkton who seem
to find pleasure in being part and par
Gel of such a commercialized perver-
sion of the honorable estate of matri-
mony.
We had the same sort of situation
here prior to the last session of our
Legislature. 1t became so nauseating
to the Delaware public that at last ad-
verse sentiment was crystalized in
Governor Miller's message. That re-
suited in the passage of the Gormley
Marriage law, which put the so-called
marrying parsons" out of business in
the local field.
Following that, the nuisance shifted
to Elkton, where certain men of the
cloth, who seemed to have more re-
spect for the almighty dollar than for
the good name of their calling, took
prompt advantage of the money grub
bing opportunities the newly-set-up
marriage mill supplied

Cattle Owners Object.
Several complaints have been re-
gistered by owners of cattle within the
closed areas because they have not
been allowed to ship their herds 10
points within the State for immediate
slaughter.
The owners of these herds claim
that although they are located within
closed areas, it has been in some in
stances as much as two months since
any fresh outbreaks nave occurred and
that they can see no reason for not
allowing the cattle to be moved after
inspection
Secretary Melville, Of the State
Live Stock Sanitary Board, explained
that the movements of cattle from
these areas is under the direction Of
DR.. Siegmund and DR.. Lawrence Hick-
man, the State Veterinarian, and that
the former is not satisfied to allow
cattle to be moved therefrom at this
time.

Instances of this kind became so
frequent this demand became so great,
that it was no longer confined to private
distribution, but was offered the public
just two years ago.
The public quickly acknowl-
edged it to be just the coffee
they had been seeking for years.
Before it had been on the New York
market five months, it was outselling any
other high-grade coffee
Today more of it is sold in New York
than of all other high-grade coffees.
Have you tasted it? Is your
family drinking it?

but have neglected to do so, get pack

This is just what the worlds Greatest
Coffee Merchants have already done for
you.
Years ago, for their personal use, and
to send to friends at Christmas, members
of the Arbuckle firm selected Yuban from
all the coffees of the world.
Wherever Yuban was sent as gift
coffee, everyone found it's fragrance so
remarkable, it's flavor so exquisite, that the
moment they tasted it, they commented
on it. Yuban acquired a private reputa-
ton so great that persistent demands to
be allowed to buy it developed.

The favoritc coffee Of the
most critical city in the world

many women felt that the coffee they
were then using satisfactory, they
expressed it, and did not try Yuban Thou
sands OF Others however, did try it. The
experience OF these that they have
known coffee could have such flavor
spread from friend to friend, and home
to home.
These women know for them
selves why for years it has been the guest
coffee of the Greatest Coffee Merchants
why it SO quickly became the favorte
coffee of the most critical city in the world.
They have found that it produces the
choicest, most delicious cup of coffee which
can be secured regardless of cost
This announcement is addressed espe-
cially to you, who may not have given
Yuban an opportunity to prove how de-
lcious it is.
Do not put it off any longer.
