Negectful of self, they labored both.
Forgetting freedom and and soth,
All for the sake of II tender chil,i.

The farmer delves i'm the stony field,
Pressing the earth for larger yield
The miner mOes i'm the cold, dark ground,
And all by the Common Aim
To lift the child towards the happier life
For the sake of the child the worlds work done:
For the child's dear sake 1t is done we'll

That the chi'd may laugh where hearts mournrd.
That he may be loved where scorned!
That he may rise where fell.
For the good of the child is the worlds work done

For the sake Of the chiid-'ts the plan of God

70 Cent GASOLINE
COMING IN 10 DAYS
Standard Oil Officials Say
That Will be Lowest
Price for Year
D TO 26 CENTS
THE LOCAL PRICE

Gasoline will fall to 20 cents a gal
lon within ten days or two weeks,
Standard Oil officials in New York
said yesterday. Although the Middle
West states were selling gasoline yes
terday for II IL cents. there is little
likelihood Of this reduced figure strik-
ing the East before a month, if at all
experts said
In Wilmington today prices are
quoted at from % to 26 cents a gallon.
The explanation for this drop in
motor fuel is ascribed to the extraor-
binary output of the crude oil wells
that we're drilled last year and now
are yielding. AS a consequence Of
their exceptional output in the last
few weeks. the quotation on crude
oil has fallen and with it gasoline. the
price of which is regulated entirely by
the production of crude oil.
Standard Oil officials said the full
effect of this crude oil production will
be over within two weeks and gaso-
line prices then will have reached
their minimum. New wells are being
drilled. but their yield will not be ap-
preciable in the market of the near
future.
n was denied in New York that the
governments investigation of gasoline
prices is responsible either directly ol
indirectly for this reduction. Nothing
done by the Federal officials had induced
the corporation 10 bore more wells. TIN
Standard is drilling its wells as quickly
as possible and putting the last drop
outside Of normal reserve stock, on tn
market.
Figures collected by the United Pres
from all parts of the country today
showed that the motorists of the Mid
die West. from Chicago to Denver, ar
paying the lowest price at present fo
gasoline. Chicago and Des Moine
quoted the lowest price, II l2, and th
average is Is TO 10 cents. st. Louis wa
paying 21 l-2 cents, the highest price 70
the Middle West. while Denverites wer
paying "a and 25 cents. San Francisc
reported 10 cents a gallon with no de
cline recently.

A Delaware Republicans Creed

believe in Republican principles,
in Republican policies, in the Repub.
lican party and in the Republican or
ganization because they inure to the
peace. prosperity and happiness of
our State and Nation.
/ believe that the present activity
of Alfred |. du Pont, pretended po-
litical purifier, is due, not to any
desire to serve or benefit the public,
but to desire to vent his hatred
upon his kindred, at the expense of
Republican principles. Republican
policies, the Republican party and
the Republican organization.
Believing those things, and believ.
ing further that Republican prin-
ciples, Republican policies. the Re-
publican party and the Republican
organization are of infinitely great
er importance to our State and
Nation than are the hatred and re-
vengeful lust of any man, / deem it
to be my sacred duty in the impend-
ing primary and general election to
support those principles and policies
and that party and its organization
with loyalty and fidelity, to the end
that, by so doing, may truly and
faithfully serve the public interest
and the public welfare.
