LET'S HAVE REASON NOT
INSINUATI0N

Such names as Captain Kidd,
Dick Turpin, pirates, are used by
the Every Evening when speaking
of the farmers who stand in the
King Street market. The farmers
market has for years been the sub
ject of attack by this paper, but
in their recent Gouge accusations,
it has been especially bitter and
grossly unfair. In our dealings
with men we have found that the
farmer is about as honest, about as
patriotic and about as much a gen.
tleman, as men in other walks of
life. Our bit Of experience has
brought us in contact with the
farmer and the newspaper man.
Taking them as men in their deal
ing with men, one is about as fair
as the other-with, of course, an
occasional striking exception.
Prices are high, we admit and
an investigation will show clearly
and definitely the reason. Appar-
emily the Every Evening is max
ing no attempt to investigate con-
ditions but merely to present one
side. incidentally permit us to
say that after a days drive we Sc
cuned two negroes to cut corn on
our farmland we had to pay more
than is received by any men on the
staff of our contemporary. This
is illustrative of one of the rea-
sons for high prices. If we are
to have an investigation of the
market let the newspaper discus
sion be one of reason and not one
of insinuation. Let it tend toward
adjustment and understanding
rather than lead to class prejudice.
The American farmer is not a
pirate and to so speak Of him at
such times as these is not con-
ducive to the spirit of co-opera-
tion now so imperatively needed.

Mr.. Marvel in an earnest ad-
dress, accepted the gift of the am
bulance, on behalf of Delaware
the spirit thatmaves you to present
College. I'VE agree now to unite in
this gift" Mr.. Marvel said. al
though the ambulance is of great
value in itself, Of far greater value
is the motive that is responsible
for it. 1t is a coincidence that the
presentation of this ambulance
should fall upon the very day
when the Delaware regiment
leaves the soil of the little Com
monwealth for their southern
training ground. Our gladness is
mingled with sadness, coincident
with the mission of Governor
Townsend to escourt the men who
are to fight for you, to die for you.
These young men are going out,
that these girls before me may be
safe; that democracy may indeed
be safe throughout the entire
world. Lend them your support,
your zeal, your devotion, your
prayers. Somehow. somewhere,
there is a duty for every man, wo-
man, and child, to lead to the vic
tory that must be won, for
Conquer we must, when our cause
it is just;
And this be our motto, In God is
our trust
And the star-spangled banner in
triumph shall wave,
Ger the land of the free, and the
home of the brave"
Features of the meeting were
the music by the Delaware College
orchestra, and the singing of
America"
The ambulance presented to the
college is modern in every partic-
ular, being of the same type that
is used by the Government and the
Red Cross. 1t was manufactured
by the White Ambulance Company
and was recently on exhibition in
the corridor of the Hotel DUPONT.
1t will be manned by an ambul-
ance corps of students. Some of
the members Of the corps will be
on duty day and night, and the
machine will be subject to call in
emergency cases such as serious
explosions, ETC., within a distance
of 100 miles of Newark. In case
their service should ever be need
ed the corps with the ambulance
are prepared to answer the call
of the government for service any
where.
In addition to H. P. Cleaver the
members of the corps are: X. R.
Bowen, Paul Lovett, Francis Lin
dell and R. D. Herdman. For sew
eral months they have been re-
ce!ving special instructions from
DR.. Walter H. Steel and Miss Beck,
in charge of the Delaware College
Infirmary, in first aid and other
hospital work.

Fencing a Cu ntinent.

The state Of South Australia has
since 1891 erected pol miles of ''yer-
min fences" enough to encircle the
globe and with the remnant build a
double line fence along the southern
border of the United States. When
contracts now running are completed
the mileage will be much increased.
New South Wales has expended over
$27.OOO,Oo0 for rabbit determination
and has within it's borders $4,000 miles
of fence. One of Western Australia s
fences extends entirely across the con-
tinent. Of late years the rabbit has
been repaying in part for his keep
paying his board, as it were. He goes
to swell the total of food exports from
the commonwealth. Along the coun-
try roads rabbits may be seen hung on
fences awaiting the passage of the rab-
bit carts, which convey them to the
packing houses to be prepared for ship
ment as frozen meat and hides. Prac-
tically all are exported. The Austria
liam does not eat ''vermin. National

Soap an Antiseptic.

Some medical authorities, explaining
the abatement of epidemic, diseases in
recent years. are sufficiently free from
professional ties to attribute this bet
torment of conditions not to medical
science, but to the increased use of
soap and water. Many medical author
tiles hold the opinion that with a clean
house and a clean person no one need
have much fear of infection. A writer
in the New York Medical Record says !:
Soap is now recognized to be anti
septic and to be eficacious must pro-
duce lather. Bacteria rubbed into
soap or dropped on its surface are In
capable Of multiplication. The typhoid
bacillus is very sensitive to soap, being
killed by per cent solution in a
short time. More than half the total
number will die in q minute. The
thorough use of a pure potash soap is
not only mechanical method Of cleans
ing, but is an active favor in cutting
down germ life. Exchange.
