The Question OF Farm Labor.

One of the subjects suggested by the
governor in his unwise and impolitic call
for special Session Of the Legislature
Is the question Of farm labor He has
proposed II as a problem for legislation.
That labor Is needed on the farms. that
II should bc provided for. will not be
disputed But how can the Legislature
of Delaware solve the problem Sup
pose II should enact a law that = certain
number Of men. from the first of April
10 the trst oi October, should devote
their tlmc aud labor TO farm work could
II supplement Surh law with provi-
SONS that would make it effective
We have had too much Of legislation
in this direction IN recent wears. No
matter how desirable il would bc. cspc-
ciaily in these times. 10 compc! every
ldler to work, there Is no straight way to
ms end by State legislation The only
path ol relief seems to be- through the
Federal government plan of Drafting
all classes Of mcn for military service
Once secured in this manner the men
may bc diverted into channels which
would promise the best results to the
cause OF the country IN the war from
their labor
But the Delaware Legislature can not
do this II might enact > law that all
mon in The State should work. Lut how
could il enforce such an enactment
However. let the coming special session
of the Legislature nrcstle with this
problem. and may it bring forth the best
r,OeSIblo results

Standing by the Administration

In New York City, on Tuesday, spc-
cial elections were held in four Con-
gress districts for the purpose of filing
vacancies. In each district the result
was the election Of the Democratic
candidate In the Seventh district. John
]. Delaney was chosen by a plurality
of about 5000; in the Eighth district,
William +. Cleary, by nearly 5000; in
the Twenty-irst district, Jerome +.
Donovan by more than 1000, and in the
Twenty-second district, Anthony J. Grif-
fifth by about 6,000.
In each of these district contests the
most significant result was the great fall
ing off in the Socialist support. In each
there was n Socialist candidate, in whose
behalf an active campaign was waged on
the platform Of opposition 10 the war.
And in each district the Socialist vote
was small minority
But, more than all else, the verdicts
of the voters-and under the new dis
pcnsation in New York many women
took part in the voting were express
sions of loyal support OF the Federal adj
ministration in these times of war and
emergency in respect OF foreign affairs.
All the districts were politically dcbat
able. and in each there was a Repuhli-
can candidate arrayed against the Demo
cratic candidate But in each contest
the Democratic candidate proved sue
ccsSiul. Not as n triumph for the Demo
cratic party, but as m Endorsement of
The national administration.
Incidentally, the filling of these vacan-
Cies makes the House of Representatives
at Washington Democratic body on
n strict party division But that is Of
minor consequence. The great lesson
Of the returns is that the people of the
country are standing solidly behind the
Federal administration in its conduct
Of war against foreign enemy. And
that means n great deal

Be Careful in Using
Soap on Your Hair

Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkaIi, which is very
injurious, as il dries the scalp and makes
the hair brittle.
The best thing TO use is Just plain mul-
slfied cocoanut oil, for this is pure and
entirely gTcaseIess. It's very cheap, and
beats the most expensive soaps or any
thing else all to pieces You can get
this at any drug store, and a few ounces
will last the whole family for months
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in; about teaspoonfuI is all
that is required. 1t makes an abundance
OF rich. creamy lather, cleanses thor
oughly, and rinses out easily. The hair
dries quickly and evenly, and is soft,
fresh looking, bright fluffy, wav3 AMI
easy to handle Besides, il loosens and
takes out every particle q dust. dirt and

One day the doctor camc because my
throat was feeling awful sore
And when he looked inside to sec he said
its like it WAS before.
It's tonserlItis, sure enough. You'd better

TO make his mind up now TO have that
little party right away
Id heard hun talk that way before when
Bud WAS sick and 80 knew
That what they did to him that time, 10
me they planned To come and do.
An when my Pa came home that night
Ma said: "She can't grow strong and
Until the doctor comes an takes her
addynods an tonslls out.
An then Pa took me on his knee and
kissed me soleun-lkc an grave
An said he guessed il was the best, an
then he asked me to be brave,
Ma said: Don't look at her like that, IT S
nothing to be scared about,
An Paw said. True, but still wish she
needn't have her tonsils out.
Next morning when | woke Ma sad |
couldn't have my breakfast then
Because the doctors and the nurse had
SAID they would hc here by ten.
When they got here the doctor smiled M
gave me somc perfume to smell,
An told me rot to cry Mt all, coz pretty

A Problem for Our People.

The recent announcement made n the
columns Of our city papers, concerning
the probable omission Of the Philadel-
phia Orchestra concerts il Wilmington,
next season, may well give rise to doubts
that as progressive CITY our civic pride
Is what il should be For thirteen year
the women Of tho Delaware Committee
have Iabcred untlringly to maintain these
concerts Each Of these years has been
best OF thcee orchestra programs, musi-
caiy and artistically Zach year the
work OF these faithful women has grown,
and they have not been remembered
Each member Of the committee has given
her labor and her personality to this work
Mr. Arthur Judson : statement Of the
financial status Of the Wilmington sea
son for the Philadelphia Orchestra speaks
for itself Shall Wilmington, The rich
est city per capita in the entire country,
allow the most notable musical organlza-
ton in ali the world 70 drop our city in its
itinerary for concerts in ITS future plans?
II hardly seems necessary to more than
place this matter before the people Of
Wilmington. Loyalty to our city, pride
in its industrial and financial pre-emi-
nence, should be sufficient solution
Of the problem There should BE- no
doubt OF our Willingness To continue in
the position Of being on the regular itin-
erarv Of this splendid musical organization
