PUT HARD TASK ON MINISTER
Dominic Compelled to Discourse to
Congregation That Was 5uslIy
Engaged in Cracking Nuts.

The modern minister likes to have
things quiet when he talks. It dis
concerts him to hear a baby cry or q
woman cough or an old man snore.
II he Is put out by such trifes as
these 1t is interesting to conjecture
what he would do If he were to take
hold Of a congregation where every
body brought nuts to crack during the
sermon.
Worshipers used to do that in Eng
land, and even in our own states dur
ing colonial days. The disturbance
was not a weekly disturbance, by any
mean; If it had been, the minister
would have undoubtedly left his con-
gregation to administer spiricual con-
ISOLATION to suit themselves. But aS
1t only happened once a, year he, was
forced to endure it, This one day

of the peculiar privilege granted him..
and men, women and children came to,
church with their pockets stuffed,
with nuts, which they complacentIy
cracked and munched during the SER
mon. It can be easily imagined that
when 40 or so people get to cracking
nuts with all their might the noise is
apt to be disquieting, and many times
the minister was hard put taJ it to

The great problem on the farm to-
day is the sslabor question. Even farm
ers having sons are up against it for
their sons, by the time they are grown
HE off to the cities where the glare
and glamour and better wages, attract
them. There have been numerous
articles on the question but an ex-
change hits upon the plan of % Partner
ship in Farming" to keep the boys on
the farm. 1t says. elm nearly every
neighborhood a case like this exists
Some father with only small part of
his land in cultivation, and that small
part not cultivated intens;vely, has
let his boy go off to the city instead
of encouraging the boy to take either
part of the land for himself or else a
partnership in all of it. In town the
boy has a meager living for time,
or possibly has fallen into bad habits.
The father and mother have grown
old, are not able to look after the
farm properly, so that it is getting
poorer every year The land is wash
ing and the fields growing up in weeds
and bushes. At the same time botl
father and mother are hungry fol
companionship of their children. Wher
death comes to one or the other. tn
case will be sadder still. Of course
it is not possible in all cases for tn
father to effect partnership with tn
farm boy that will thus keep him q
home, keep the old homestead gettin
richer and fairer, and encourage th
son to settle down and rear family

that it is possible in tens of thousands
of cases where it is not practiced.
To this elementary form of cooperation
there is hope that some fathers may
induce their sons to remain at home

the labor problems that confront so
many to-day"

During the past year or so many
properties in the rural districts around
Wilmington, and in the adjoining
counties of Pennsylvania, have been
purchased for country homes or for
other purposes by Wilmingtonians,
says the Morning News, "The prices
some years ago would have been re-
garded as high. The owners, how
ever, do not think they are high at
present. At any rate, some of the
money that has come out of the pros
perity that has overtaken the city has
been invested in land. This means
the upbuilGing of the country.
There are evidences also that the
movement. to purchase these rural pro-
perties is not Confined to the country
Immediately adjoining Wilmington on
he north and west, but it will spread
to the southern part of the county
and will even go into Kent county.
1t surely will if Wilmingtonians be-
come better acquainted with central
DelawareEan with the middle and
lower parts of New Castle.
"SOme thirty years ago a farm in
Blackbird hundred sold for about
$40, 900, which was considered a fair
price. The property was improved
gradually. Lately it was sold to
Wilmingtonian for $50, 900, and the
Wilmington view would be that the
price was not excessive-far from it.
Rumor has it that this farm is to be
still further improved and is to be a
model" farm and country home.
The new purchaser may rest assured
hat he will be cordially welcomed
and owners of. property in the neigh
borhood are hoping that more "out.
siders" will come in and buy land and
improve it.
"Years ago this farm would have
been thought of as being a cor sider-
able distance from Wilmington. As
a country place it would be out of the |
question. But in these days of the
automobile and other rapid transit
space is annihilated and the Blackhjrd
farm is really not long ran from
Wilmington. There is much fine land
below Wilmington, while the prices
are hut drop in the bucket as COM
pared with prices paid for land which
in some cases is not very much closer
to Wilmington.

THE LITTLE THEATER" Is HERE
University students Present 3 One.Aet
Plays i'm Modern Fashion.

The Little Theater movement has
arrived in Columbia. 1t came in the
form of three One-act plays presented
last night by the students in the course
in dramatic Interpretation.
From Washington Square to the
University Auditorium is a long way,
but Stuart Walkers Portmanteau
Theater probably furnished the idea,
and two young instructors who
sought diversion from teaching unity,
conference and emphasis to freshman
English classes did the rest. There is
real Little Theater" atmosphere in
the reconstructed auditorium stage,
with curtain which parts in the mid
die, simple scenery and no footlights.
Add a near-naughty play, such as the
first presented. and the setting is COM
plete.
VI course the players were amateurs,
as was the young man who operated
the spotlight, but neither was more so
than were the first few rows of the
audience.
The evenings program, which i'm
proved with the order of presentation,
was three one-act plays: Fancy
Free. by Stanley Houghton; The
Dark Lady of the Sonnets", by George
Bernard Shaw and The Twelve

English French, Belgian and Rus

words urging enlistment. but genuine
art stirs the sentiments. the patriot
ism and the sympathy of the observ-
er. Large. free, powerful sketches
represent the misery produced by the
war on the continent. Most of the

pealing solely by the scenes they

many of whom have been crippled in
the war. The exhibit opened this
morning and will be open for a week
Ten cents admission is charged.
The British posters are chiefly
those placed in public places through
out the Islands to encourage enlist
ment. Various points of contact are
used from appeals to patriotism to
revenge for deSecrated homes and for
the lives that have been sacrificed
The cheerful side of war is pictured.
The Tommies shown are all smiling
and seeming to urge their brothers at
home to join them.
French Posters Are Artistic.
The appeals are both pictured and
lettered. Some are merely lettered
posters saying that king and country
cal or something similar. Prominent
men who have died in the war are
shown with the words that they did
their part; Are yOu doing yOurs?"
John Bull points on another and asks.
Are you the slacker?" The British
posters are strong appeals, but lack
the artistic touch of the French pic
lures. They are highly colored but
stress one feature only, such as a
smiling soldier or the increased self
respect which a man gets from enlist
ing. The French posters show pic
lures which could have been made
anywhere. picturing general condi-
tiOns as they exist throughout the war
zones.
