basis of actual sales.
Prices to the small town dealers
would be less, by the amount of
freight paid and selling charges, than
the prices to the big city dweller, but
both would win, as all unnecessary
middlemen would be cut out and the
farmer would get an increased price
for his goods.
When our local boards of trade and
dealers will join with us in some such
plan, Wen be glad to be classed with
them as pillars of the community, not
as standing on each others heads, but

impossible for the man to accomplish
good work.
Out of the IS bureaus now estab-
lished none of the chiefs of these de-
partments has given the farmers a
single organization, except Mr.. Embree
in the case of the Farmers Union of
Maine and this work he accomplished
as manager of the Farmers Union of
Maine and not as chief of the Bureau
of Markets and Supplies.
The farmers of Maine pay about Sc
per cent of the taxes and are perfectly
within their rights in demanding that
a part of this money be appropriated
for their benefit. If the present Legis-
lateure desires to be of assistance to
the farmers of Maine they will not per-
NIT this worthless department known
as the Bureau of Markets and Supplies
to exist, but on the other hand they
will make direct appropriation of
money to be expended by the board of
the Union subject to the supervision
of the commissioner of agriculture.
They will then do away with a useless
department and at the same time assist
the farmers in q worthy cause.
Up to June, 1915, the Farmers Union
dourished. Under the work of Mr..
Embree, IS local unions were organized.
Fifteen potato houses were erected, and
g grain stores acquired. Six grocery

Some OF the 1913 models in this show
and a great many OF tho exhibits Of
accessories will be shown for the first
time in Wilmington. In all there will
be 25 cars. representing practically all
u the leading types on the market to
Jay and so many different accessory
sxhibns that the committee hasn't had
ime TO count 'em up.
Chairman Darlington has been COM
9elled to turn down applications for
,nace from a number who have not
cen in the show before because space
the hotel is OF course limited and as
rs is, on account Of the fact that Ernest
Taite, manager Of the hotel, re-
guires some of the space in the lobby

previous years for exhibits two less

formerly This will detract in no wise
from the worth Of the show. however,

ne 1918 models. the range will be all

II was the hour when the streets
OF uptown New York were jammed
with workers who have been dlsgorged
from big factories and monster depart

A slim little girl Of about i5-one OF
the "workers'-suddenly stopped be-
fore a newsboy who had both arms
full Of papers, and whose shoe laces
were Mapping about his feet. because
he could not tie their loosened ends.
With a word % the boy which no
ono else could hear. she bent over and
quickly ierked up the dirty laces, gave
them a twist. and kno'ted them firmly.
and then passed on without a word
Evening journal. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1888-1932, 1917-12-19

just as though she had done what was
expected Of her by a careless kid Of
about 10.
And all through this little human
incident the newsboy stood without
a smile. and when she had finished. he
never even looked at the girl nor said
grateful "thank you"
There isn't the shadow Of a doubt
that the nowsboy had a mother who
had unselnshly been doing this sort
OF thing for him all through his life,
until he had come TO expect 10 as a
matter OF course.
And the girl-well. she had the in
stinct which mothers every uncomfort-
