Experience the Best Teacher

It is generally admitted that experience is the best teacher, but should we make use of the experience of others as well as our own? The experience of a thousand persons is more to be depended upon than that of one individual. Many thousands of persons have used Chamberlain's s Cough Remedy for coughs and colds with the best results, which shows to be thorough ly reliable preparation for those diseases.

Farm Bureaus grow
to Meet War Needs

County farm bureaus, 725 strong,
with a membership of over 100000,
are bringing to the United States
Department of Agriculture and the
State agricultural colleges the
organized help of patriotic Ameri-
can farmers in planning and ex-
ecuting the agricultural produc-
tion and conservation program.
During the last year, with the help
of the department and the colleges,
497 new bureaus were organized to
meet the war needs, and the mem
bership increased from $4,000 to
its present figure. In the new coun-
ty farm bureau is found local

Keep Schools at
Normal Efficiency

Before his election to the presi-
dency, President Wilson was re-
cognized as one of Americas fore
most educators. A recent letter to
Secretary Lane is therefore of un-
usual interest. 1t contains whole
some advice that might well be fol-
lowed by all sections of Delaware.
81 am pleased to know that de-
spite the unusual burdens imposed
upon our people by the war they
have maintained their schools and
other agencies of education so
nearly at their normal efficiency.
That this should be continued
throughout the war and that, in so
far as the draft law will permit,
there should be no falling off in
attendance in elementary schools,
high schools or colleges is a matter
of the very greatest Importance,
affecting both our strength in
war and our national welfare
and efficiency when the war
is over. So long as the war con-
tinues there will be constant need
of very large numbers of men and
women of the many lines. After
the war there will be urgent need
not only for trained leadership in
all lines of industrial, commercial,

Liberty Loan Interest Rate

Secretary McAdoo has definitely
announced that the Fourth Liberty
Loan bonds will bear 414 per cent
interest.
The Secretary has been insistent
that the Government interest rate
should be stabilized at Az per
cent. He points out that a raise in
the rate of interest of only one
fourth of l per cent on S10,000,-
100000 of Government bonds
would mean an annual increase of
25,000,000 in interest charges, and
that this money would have to be
raised by increased taxation and
paid by the people of the country.
1t would not be paid by one class
only, because there are consump-
tion as we'll as other kinds of taxes,
and the consumption taxes reach
every class of people.
"As an intelligent people," said
Secretary McAdoo during the
Third Liberty Loan campaign, 1--WE
should now make a stand for the
| financing of our Government dur
ing the period Of this war at a
stabilized rate of interest, say at
Az per cent per annum, SO that all
business to that basis, and so that
we ourselves may protect ourselves
against successfully increased
rates of interest on Government
loans"

support of the Liberty Loans arr

Government. If the citizen econo-
mizes in consumption, so much
material and labor and transpor-
tation space is left free for Gov
ernment uses. And when the saw
ing effected is lent to the Govern
ment more money is thus placed at
the disposal of the Government.
The more the people save the
more money, labor, and materials
are left for the winning of the war,
the greater and more complete the
support given to our fighting men.

near their tops, good protection is
afforded both grain and stover. If
the stalks of each arm load do not
slant in one direction only-to-
ward the center of the shock-and
if the tying is not done high up
near the top, the shocks is very
apt to twist. Tying near the mid
die does not prevent twisting, tying
near the top does.
Equal distribution of the arm
loads of corn around a shock is
important. An equal distribution,
with all the stalks slanting toward
the center, forms conical storm
proof shock, having each cornstalk
acting as brace to hold the shock
erect. With more weight of corn
on one side than on the opposite
side, the shock is likely to lean or
go down. Twisted and down shocks
are difficult to handle and to husk.
AS such shocks do not shed water,
both grain and stover often spoil.
Good shocking is such simple
matter that it receives little at
tention. Experienced corn cutters
usually build good shocks. 1t is no
harder than to build poor shocks.
inexperienced helpers often feel
disinclined to take instructions re-
garding such simple work, and if
of uninterested, careless disposi-
tions, an experienced person
should work with them and make
sure that the arm loads are proper
ly placed. Without such supervi-
sion inexperienced help often
proves much worse than no help
at all. Very poorly built shocks
afford no protection. On the con-
trary, they hold water, prevent
drying, and thereby hasten and in
crease the waste of food.
This fall every patriotic individ-
ual will prevent waste of food. By
| good shocking an enormous waste
can be prevented. If any corn
shocks twist or go down, they
should be husked and stored before
the grain and stover commence tc
spoil.

up will never get business club any

glad to contribute to any worthy move

And every man in the town should

A commercial clubs supreme pur-
pose is something else than adding

minutes and the accounts. The ideal
secretary is a man of ideas and dyna-

SOLVING PROBLEM OF PLAY
Meet the Needs of People for
Outdoor Recreation.

American cities are beginning to
solve the problem of play. 1t is only
in the last few years that the United
States has become country predOml-
nantly urban instead of rural in its
population, and this urban population
has had a hard time getting the out
door air and exercise it needs, writes
Frederic J. Haskin. The solution OF
the problem seems to lie in the NUM-
cipal playground and athletic field.
which has come to be feature OK
the parks of almost every progressive
city in the last few years. The fed
eral census bureau has just complet-
ed an investigation of the parks and
Fairgrounds of every city in the Unit
ed States, which contains some inter-
eSting facts.
For the purposes OF this work, the
census bureau takes account OF all
cities of 10000 inhabitants or more.
There are 213 such cities in the United
States-a measure of the rapidity with
which the balance of population IS
moving from the country to the city.
Neither the country boy nor the coun-
try-dwelling man needs any outdoor
recreation facilities; he has only to
step across his threshold to be in an
out-Of- doors that affords the sports for
which games are only substitute.
Much attention has been given to the
problem of furnishing country dwell
lers with intellectual and artistic re-
creation, in an attempt to keep them
from moving to the city in too great
numbers; but there has so far been
little attention paid to providing them
with outdoor sports within average
means after they arrive in the city.
But the movement is under way, ana
it is growing steadily.
