Canada Press Silenced
On Lectures to u. S.

OTTAWA, May 30.--The few Cana
dian papers which took upon them
selves the task OF lecturing the United
States upon its duty in the matter Of
the loss Of American lives on the Lusi-
tania have been promptly and severely
repudiated by the responsible journals
and public men of the Dominion.
1t Is rumored that Sir Cecil Spring
Rice quietly expressed his dspleasure
at the tone of some Canadian editor
ials reproduced in the United States,
and II is said that a firm hint was sent
spect to their future conduct in this re-
spect.
Most of the leading papers now take
the attitude that the differences be-
tween the United states and Germany
ness and, with few exceptions. they
highly commend the tone and sub
stance of Mr.. Wilson's note.

makes three defeats for the Brook

umn
The Silverbrook team claims to
have the fastest Independent team in
Delaware and bid fair to lay claim TO
the independent championship of the
state. Harkins. of the old Chesrook
team, is taking care of the catching
job in first-class style-not only by
his heady work but by his terrific
batting. Matthewson, of DUPONT
High. and Wise, formerly of High
School, have shown that they can hold
down their end Of the battery as well
as contribute hits when they are
needed. Greenfield, at first, is well
fitted TO cover that position in fault
less style because of his long reach
and gritty playing. Sharpe, the for
mer High School athlete, is a tower
of strength at the keystone position as
also is Boob" Siemen at short. Both
I of these players are fast brainy and
/ hard working, which, with their unity
of movement make them an ideal
combination. Smith, of last years

corner and bids fair to go higher next

Crops Not Affected by Moon

Scientists are now convinced
that the moon has no more in.
fluence on crops than it has upon
the temperature or the amount
OF rain or that winds or any
other weather element. The
growth Of plants depend upon
the amount of FOOD in the soil
and in the air that is availa BILE
for them and upon temperature,
light and moisture. The moon
obviously does not affect the
character of the soil in any way,
neither does it affect the compos-
tion OF the atmosphere. The
only remaining way in which it
could influence plant growth,
therefore, is by its light. Re-
cent experiment, however, show
that full daylight is about 600,
OOOth times brighter than full
moonlight, yet when a plant gets
l 100 part of normal daylight it
thrives little better than it alb
solute darkness. If l-lOoth part
of normal daylight is thus too
little to stimulate a plant, it
seems quite certain that a 6OO,-
OOOth part can have any effect at
all. 1t is therefore mere waste
of time to think about the moon
IN connertlon with the planting
crop. The moon, says the sci

with this than it has to do with

HAPPINESS

We cannot pick and choose
the happenings of life any more
than we can select the circum-
stances of our birth and health:
we are but creatures of a Won
derful destiny directed by the
Almighty. 1t is said that many
tragedies of life might be avert
ed If we took our medicine like
men" and did not put our per
sonal happiness above every
thing else. 1t is as natural and
to be expected to long for hap
piness and to cling to it as for
the flowers to turn to the sun
Happiness is the great lamp of
life which lights our way through
all sorts of Shadows shadows
that blur the vision and make
long nights of our days, shadows
that terrify by their grotesque
shapes and threatening aspects,
and shadows that bury in their
depth much that we hold most
dear. We are jealous of our
happiness and guard it as the
most precious thing in life and
when we watch it 60 down and
farther away from our yearning
eyes we begin to plead for it and
strive for it. and fight for it. We
bat er the walks of the past in
our vain efforts to call it back |
before it is too late and spend |
long days and waste precious
strength in the futile endeavor
TO clutch it back to our hearts.
And all the while. perhaps right
at our hands within easy reach.
happiness in a new guise stands
ready. y.-Charleston News and
