Students Urged o.,
To Love Nature

Mr.. w. r. Lord Of Boston, Mass,
addressed the students of Delaware
College at the chapel exercises last
Monday morning. In an inspiring
talk the speaker urged the young
men to get in tune with the Infin-
ite, in tune with their fellowmen,
and in tune with Nature. He
dwelt upon the joy to be derived E
from an intimacy with the nature
around us. There are some men,
the speaker said, who seldom recog-
yize the Infinite Power above
| them; there are others who live
hermit s life, and get away from
their fellowmen. But no one can
get away from Nature; it follows
him everywhere. The warm sun
shines every morning in our faces;
everyone daily shares its miracles.
Referring to the fact that we can
not arrive at a deep. appreciation
Of nature in day, the speaker re-
lated the story of an artist who
daily haunted the Louvre to sketch
a wonderful painting. Day after
day, the teacher looking at his work
would exclaim, "Can't you see?
Can t you see?' The query haunt
ed him night and day. One morn
! ing like a miracle it seemed, his
: eyes were opened. Where he had
before seen only one beautiful line,
; he saw hundred wonderful
strokes. The master looking over
his shoulder exclaimed, "My son,
at last you have arrived; at last
. you have attained. :" So with the
wonders of nature around u.s.
Their very commonplaceness causes
2 us to overlook them; we have not
gazed long and earnestly enough
to see their finest beauty.
s Mr.. Lord graduated from Am
. herst College in 1870. For three
D years he taught in Milford, Della
S ware, where he has many close
e friends with whom he has kept in
f touch during the intervening years.
Last Monday Mr.. Lord was en-
4 route for Milford, to visit his old
n friends. In his remarks in chapel
: Mr.. Lord paid a tribute to Mrs. e.
y M. Brown, member of the advis-
ory board Of women for the Wom-
t ems College of Delaware. Mrs.
/ Brown was one of Mr.. Lords Mil
y ford pupils. ---.s

Farm Survey
OF Delaware

The three County Agents Of Del
aware, working i'll cooperation
with Mr.. F. A. Brown and Mr.. III.
F. Keyes, farm demonstrators OF
the Bureau of Farm Management
Of the United States Department
of Agriculture, are making farm
survey of Delaware. This work is
carried on. in the following man
ner A business record Of the farm
is first made. This includes re-
cord of all receipts and expenses
crops sold, stock raised, amount OF
crops and stock sold; and capital in
vested, and enough data to figure
out the farmers labor: income per
year. The labor income is the
amount Of money the farmer gets
for his years work, in addition to
his home and a comfortable living
for himself and family. This work
has been started around Middle
town, where the, records of between
sixty and seventy farms have al
ready been taken.
After the records have been
taken, business analysis Of the re-
cord for each farm is made and the
average income and stock and crop
results are figured for the average
farm in the community. Then each
individual farm is compared with
the average farm and with the best
farm. A copy of the. record is taken
back to the farmer by the demon
strator or county agent, and his
years business talked over with
him, with the idea of pointing out
to him any weaknesses and of max
ing recommendations for the i'm
provement Of the farm s organiza-
ton. The County Agents Of Kent
and Sussex counties are now TAX.
ing up the work in, their counties
with the same purpose in view.

AS WITH ONE VOICE

II n an address last evening
in Portland Senator Harry
Lane declared that re-
gardless of the Cello canal the
Columbia river is not yet open
and will not be really open to
traffic until roads are built to
the river so as to allow freight
to be taken to and from the
river Independently of the rail-
roads.
This same advice has been
given by the governor of Ore
gon. 1t is given by Congress
man Sinnott, by Senator Jones
of Washington and in fact by
every man interested in the
subject of the open river. The
necessity for road building is
one point upon which all our
public men agree regardless of
politics. The same is true of
most of the newspapers that
have given the subject atten-
ton.
There must be something to
it.

SALMON ON THE UPPER
COLUMBIA?

NN>NILL the Cello canal de-
O velop a salmon industry
on the upper Columbia
and thus bring to hand a new
food supply for the inland EN-
pire?
The fact salmon are running
more heavily than usual at the
mouth of the Umatilla just now
seems to bear out this theory.
On top of this is the fact sal
mon will go as far upstream as
possible for spawning.
Presumably salmon have
been unable to get above Cello
falls in the past and conse-
quently the middle and lower
river have had all the fishing
to themselves.
With the canal in use it will
be easy for fish to reach the
upper river. They can follow
boat through the canal and
once through they will have
clear travelling as far as Priest
Rapids if not farther.
The building of the Cello
canal may bring US cheaper
salmon as we'll as cheaper
freight.

THIS MAY ENTERTAIN
IN ZINZINNATI.

Two men visiting in Cincinnati
wandered into a German cafe two
nights in succession. Each time they
were annoyed by "Tipperary" coming
from nickel-in-the-slot piano. The
instrument, it appeared to them, could
play nothing else. 1t seemed strange
that "Tipperary' should be heard in
a German cafe, so they asked the
proprietor about it.
You're a German aren't you
ooh. surel" he replied
Most of your trade is German"
"Oh, sure!'
"Then why does that piano play
'Tipperary,' an Irish tune, so much .
IVY, dere is Won Irisher who keeps
pudding in niggles," said the German
with a grin. "Alretty l sold him $25
wort of 'Tipperary,' an der kaiser

LET EUROPE DO 1T

~ HE statement by the chief
" officer of the Gulflight
indicates that the Amer
lean tanker was torpedoed by
a British submarine, not by a
German. Not only that but the
Gulflight was flying the stars
and stripes at the time and had
a right to do so, being a genu-
inc American steamer.
1t is now up to our military
enthusiasts to insist we fight
England, if they wish to be con-
sistent.
If it was an act Of piracy for
a German submarine to torpedo
an English ship why is it not
piratical for an English SUBJ
marine to torpedo an American
boat?
Are we to be more incensed
over the sinking of a British
ship than over a deliberate at
tack on an American steamer?
The situation shows the fool.
ishness of those who think a
hair trigger" attitude should
be taken by the president.
II Is unnecessary for this
country to go to war or to make
any threats that might lead to
war.
Let England handle Ger.
many and let Germany take
care of England. Both coun.
tries will have enough Of it be.
fore they are through.
