Farmers Exchange Suggested

The current issue of Farm Bu-
reau News contains valuable
suggestion for farmers ex-
change which is full of possibil-
tiles. The editor says:
eve have long thought about a
Farmers Exchange list and since
the Farm Bureau has been organ.
lied the idea seems to be approach
ing little closer to reality. Is
there any reason why we should
not have it? Other states and
Farm Bureaus are coming to Della
ware to purchase seed corn, soy
beans and crimson clover in car
lots. Why cannot we assemble our
wants as we'll as live stock, seeds
and other products which we have
for sale and thus provide state
exchange list? If we have any
surplus we can then send the in
formation broadcast to other
states. 1t is easy to see that in the
future Farm Bureaus in the same
state and in adjoining states are
going to deal with each other in a
wholesale way. Farmers in some
counties produce no winter apples
and it is going to be perfectly ma
tural for them to pool their wants
and go to some orchard section and
buy apples by the carload. Already
a County Agent from Indiana has
brought in from New York several
carloads of apples for his farmers.
They have saved over 60c per
bushel and the New York farmers
sold for more. We need not quote
further along this line as it is
obvious that the field is open for

Vei,iehces are presented which
make the school highly desirable

eies winch are contemplating the

10 consider carefully this suggest
eu arrangement before definitely
breaking ground for their new
structures.
The Two-ROom Building
For the service of those co,intrv
communities which demand a larg-
er schoolhouse than the one des-
crlbed above, the Government
engineering experts recommend a
two-room school to accommodate
"a pupils. In this building a fold
ing partition or doors completely
separate one room from the other.
This house is also provided with
special domestic science and lib
rary rooms which open from the
teachers platform and have priv
ate entrances through fre-exit
doors from the outside. Plenty Of
coat rooms also are provided.
In particular this schoolhouse is
novel insomuch as the folding
doors between the classrooms per-
NIT OF throwing the entire space
into one large hall which can be
used for community meetings,
musicals, suppers, theatricals, or
slmllar entertainments. Here again
the library and domestic science
rooms may be used by adults for
other than educational purposes
without interfering with school
sessions.
Furthermore, this school is pro,
vided with a basement which may
be divided into play and lunch
rooms, with still other rooms for
Looking, manual training, furnace,
fuel storage, and toilet. If it is not
desirable to eXcavate the entire
basement some of these rooms may
be omitted. The basement cooking
room is valuable as place where
the children's lunches may be
warmed or prepared. This school,
house may be constructed at first
with one classroom and then as
conditions demand the second
classroom may be added. Furnace
heat is used, the ventilating flues
being SO arranged adjacent to the
furnace flues that a forced draft
involving complete circulation
of fresh, warm air is obtained. AS
in the instance Of the one-room
school, the windows are numerous
and so situated as to favor the adj
mission of maximum of sunshine
and light.

ther--is a phrase which should outlast
the var.
1t Is deserved tribute to the spon-
taniety and bravery of the service of
the colored regiments who fought in
France. and token of the oneness of
their citizenship with all other Ameri-

These brave soldiers are not hy-
phenated; they may be black, but that
word is only an adjective spelled with
a small letter, like "white" or "young"
or "tall' or "spry."
1t is also a token of the fact that
other nations, including our enemies,
reco gnize that the term "Amerlcans

the nation has in hand, the white SOL

TIME SAYS GLASS
Secretary Takes Personal In
terest in War-Risk
Insurance

Secretary of the Treasury Glass
has let it be known that he intends
to devote special attention to the
Bureau of War-Risk Insurance in
order to bring efficiency out of the
present condition of the organiza-
ton.
1t was stated today that Secre-
tary Glass takes a personal inter-
est in the war-risk bureau, and
WIFI keep in such close touch with
It's work as to put it on a basis that
will result in dependents of SOL
dlers getting their allowance
checks in time instead of many
months late, as has been the case
since the bureau was established.
The appointment of Colonel
Henry D. Lindsley, formerly presi-'
dent of the Southwestern Life In
surance Company and officer in
Charge of the War-Risk Bureau
work with the American Expedl-
tlonary Forces, is believed by Mr..
Glass to promise definite results.
1t was stated authoritatively today
the selection of Colonel Lindsley
was entirely a Glass appointment
not merely step in contemplation
before Secretary McAdoo retired.
Secretary Glass is. said to retain
the view that criticism of the War
klSk Bureau does not necessarily
IMPLY a lack of appreciation of it's
enormous task. He is entirely cog
hlzant of the magnitude and COM
pleNIty of the work, but he does
hot believe that that fact can be
used as a buffer against all crltl-
clSm and that the real answer is
10 establish an effective organiza-
tlon. He is convinced this can be
zone, and he lis going to devote his
personal attention to the task OF
achieving the results he resires.

classroom which has a capacity for

Buy Lime Now

Owing to the shortage of labor
at the lime plants and the difficulty
of securing cars the agricultural
authorities ask that farmers order
their lime during the fall and ear
ly winter. Lime ordered now may
be spread on the wheat land as
soon as the ground is frozen or it
may be applied to the surface of
the sod which is to be turned over
for corn next spring. Experience
has shown that good results are
produced when lime is handled in
this manner. Further, by ordering

PHIL PRESIDENT
IS IN BAD AGAIN

A baseball clubs management can
make itself powerfully disliked by the
public through adopting any one of a
number Of methods. Some are more
deadly certain than others says a writer
In the Cincinnati Post. There are mag
agements that run along for years,
more or less unpopular, but never
striking the chord of positive distaste,
while here and there are those who,
with n leap, spring into a grand clash
with the patrons.
From this distance it would seem that
William F. Baker president Of the
Pills, has graduated into the big time
class as a result of his attitude toward
Moran Day, and the Philadelphia ad-
mlrers of the former philly manager
who arranged 1t.
II was the first chance the fans really
a to show their esteem of Pat, whose
dismissal from the Phils always has
been a deep purpled mystery: And they
went to it, aided and abetted by the
sport writer's, who have an uncomfort-
able way of differing from the heavy
centimeters Of the game II the occasion
warrants.
II. is said Baker regarded the tribute
to Moran as a reflection on his judg-
ment, as exercised in letting the Irish
harp pass into other hands. That would
seem plausible-from Bakers stand
p~oint-because 1t Is not exactly a mat
ter for sweet contemplation for any
boss to see tumultuous acclaim sac-
corded the hireling whom he saw fit to
bounce.
But fandom has Its own way of sizing
up situations. In the case of Moran, the
Philadelphia bugs saw only a blue en-
velope handed to the one manager who
evef won a pennant for them. They've
been nursing their sorrow ever since
and human nature came into its own
when somebody launched the Moran
Day idea.

Cardinal Pilot Jerks Heath
cote and Rides Him.

Tom Rice, writing In the Brooklyn
Eagle, puts Manager Branch Hickey, OF

ly for jerking young Clifton Heathcote
out Of a game because the outfielder
after retrieving a fly ball made a slow
throw to the Ipfield. When he lobbed
the ball In a Brooklyn runner on third
scooted for home and scored easily.
Hickey then Called Heathcote off the
field, n Rice comments:
There, in the opinion Of both fans
and ball players, Hickey made a mis-
take. Heathcote had committed a base
ball crime when he failed to keep his
eye on his number in making his return
throw. When a player has reached the
major leagues and has a regular job he
is supposed to know by instinct where
to throw. II he does not have that in
stinct he will never be a first-class
man. Heathcote should have known
what to do, and a Jolt in the way Of a
fine might have taught him something,
but to reprove him before all Of the
five thousand fans and before all OF the
newspaper readers who will see ac-
counts of the game was going too far.
