The Good Sisters
Faith in Lizzie

The following appeared few days
ago in the State Register of Spring
field, ILL.,:
MANY are the stories of Henry
Ford and his popular automobile, but
Hillsboro is relating what it calls the
best of the season, and the facts in
the case are true. 1t happened in one
of the leading churt hes of the city
that the pastor took for the text of
his sermon, Better Church Attend
ance'
"The pasotr held that the automo-
bile has taken more people away from
church than any other thing. He con-
cluded with the exclamation: 'The
Ford car has taken more people to
hell than any other thing that I can
MENTION Whereupon an old lady in
the congregation began to clap her
hands and moan, Praise the Lord I!
Praise the Lord!'
What's the matter sister, asked
The pastor.
The Ford never went any place
that it couldn't make the round trip,
and am sure that all of those people
in he'll will be back she answered so

Oriental Peach Moth and the Japanese
Beetle. During 1918 the United States
Bureau of Entomology sent two men
who nearl y covered Delaware in
search Of the Oriental Peach Moth,
ana while they found some injury that
might have been caused by this insect
the insect itself was not found. Dur =
ing tho past season the northern end
OF the State was again inspected by
r. Earle Dickey, of Stanton, Della
ware, and Francis O'Rourke, of New
ark, graduates of Delaware College,
who found some suspicious injury hut
still failed to find the insect. A close
watch will be kept upon this pest ard
if found steps will be taken to prevent
its spread.
Every employer, every wage-work-
er, must be guaranteed his liberty and
his right to do as he likes with his
property or his labor so long as he
does not infringe upon the rights of
others. 1t is of the highest import
ance that employer and employee alike
should endeavor to appreviate each
the viewpoint of the other, and the
sure disaster that will come upon both
in the long run if either grows to take
as hahitual, an attitude of sour hos
tility and distrust toward the other

K. OF G. GIVES FIRST
AID TO DAN CUPID
Throws Spotlight On Charac-
ter and Prospects Of Dough-
bows and French Girls

That CHEEKY, plump young fellow
whose business pertains to the trying
and frequently tangling-of true
lovers knots, has, thanks to the war,
acou;red an able and experienced as
sistant. Dan Cupid, according to sta
tistics, went overseas with our gallant
army, while his assistant remained at
home to look after heart-interests in
this country.
He is a quiet young man, this secre-
tary of Cupid's, and the delicate scent
of blossomms and the faint tinkling of
wedding bells pervade his well-ordered
cfIice at 461 Fourth avenue, New York
City.
Whether Leo P. Begley, head of the
Knights of Columbus Matrimopial
Bureau, has any romantiy illusions
about the work, is a matter of doubt.
He regards it as job.
The little god of love had busy
time in the quaint villages where our
bows were stationed, for everybody
knows that congenial companionship
and proper stage-settings are condu-
Give to romance. Is it any wonder,
then. that many a homesick lad re-
sponded to the sympathetic kindness
of q pretty little Ally? And when he
proposed and the answer was a shyly
whispered "oui", his joy was bound
less.
But-an amazing number of those
charming French girls were the pos
SCISSORS of stern parents, who, while
regarding the Yankees with apprecia-
tive admiration, nevertheless insisted
upon knowing something about the
family and character of the would-be
bridegrooms. The young men who as
pired to the daughters hand must
prove himself No, ais army rating
counted for nothing. He must be
youched for by those who are we'll &C
quainted with him-by those who
knew him better than the government
before he could carry off the daugh-
ter of the household as his bride
What could a poor boy do? Watchful
waiting. heartfelt signs, appeared to
be his lot.
The French Government became in
terested in the SITUATION and appointed
Mr.. Julien Knecht, brother of DR.. Mar
eel Knecht, French Commissioner, as
their representative, assigning him the
colossal task of obtaining information
regarding the standing of American
soldiers who desired to marry French
women-the investigation to be made
only where the family of the woman to
be married applied either to the Gov
ernment authorities or the Knights of
Columbus in France. On the other
hand, the K. Of c. Pas office sent in
formation to New York concerning
the girl and her relatives which was
relayed to the folks of the soldier who
contemplated matrimony. In all cases
the soldier was a willing party to the
Uoss-investigations. In no case
Newark post., 1919-11-19

would the Knights give their services
unless either American or French par
ents had requested information re-
garding their prospective daughters
and sons-in-law.
And here is where the K. of C. rem
ders first-aid to the lovelorn; turns
the spot-light-most confdentially-
on the honor, mortality and religion
OF the man in question:; sends the de-
sired information over the seas to Mr..
knecht, who, in turn, and also in
strictest confidence, delivers the mes
sage to the family who applied for
same. The majority of cases have
resulted in a wedding -rAarch, the
bridal pair accompanied by the par
entail blessing.
Bureau Not Without Humor.
The Matrimonial Bureau is not
without its humor and one can read
lily imagine how interesting the mail
must be. So zealously do the Knights
guard this correspondence that each
letter be carefully filed away from
curious eyes. He has handled almost
g thousand requests and has been able
to report favorably in nearly every
instance. Surprisingly few fictitious
names were given by the boys and
only eight who desired to acquire for
elgn wives were already married.
When information regarding a col
ored soldier reached France and he
was accused of contemplating big
amy, he frankly admitted that of
course he was married and had fine
wife and six children back home in
Tennessee, but he liked France and
had hoped to settle down there with
new wife.
Another boy, formerly a bell-hop
in a Southern hotel, was astounded
when glad tidings reached him--via
the atfectionate demonstration of his
prospective father-in- n-law-that he,
a Yankee private, was now a rich
man. Before the war he had pur
chased small plot of ground in Okla
homa, and although he was unaware
of it, oil was being developed on pro-
perty adjoining his holdings. The
Knights of Columbus reported the
fact of his sudden wealth, together
with excellent accounts of the young
mans character, and an elaborate
wedding followed.
So deeply do the authorities appre-
ciate the invaluable service rendered
their people by this particular branch
of the Knights of Columbus, that the
organization has been repeatedly and
enthusiastically congratulated by the
French Government.

CODE FIGHT AS
"SORDID STRIKE"
Baltimore Sun in Recent Issue
Comments on School
Controversy

A recent issue Of the Baltimore Sun
under the head of can Amazing
Story" declares the school war in
Delaware ''the basest and most sordid
CT all the strikes we have had in this
country" The story follows:
eve have been SO much interested
in our own local contest that few of
US have noted the school war that is
going on just over our border in-Del-
aware. And yet as a matter of facl
one of the most curious conflicts ever
staged in this country has been in pro-
gress for some time next door to us.
"Outside of Wilmington, and few
other sections, it appears, Delaware's
dblic school system has been a scan
dal and reproach to all progressive
and intelligent citizens. Many of the
schoolhouses are dilapidated or out of
date, the teaching corps in the country
schools has been composed largely of
ignorant or unframed persons, the
school terms have been reduced to
i've and even three months.
"Civic pride and intelligence finally
inaugurated a reform movement and
secured the passage by the Legisla-
ture last winter of the "New School
Code" which provides for modern
schoolhouses, qualified teachers at bet
ter salaries and longer school terms.
The new code excited little opposition
at first, but since it went into opera
ton in June, it has become the burr
ing issue in Delaware. The farmers
discovered that it would increase their
taxes somewhat, and that it would de-
Dyiye them of the services of their
children, and many of them have be-
come fighting mad about it. The
question was taken into the courts.
and when the case came before th7
Supreme Court at Dover thousand
farmers from the surrounding coun-
! try poured into the little town, pre-
Sdmably with the intention OF Secl'g
that the judges did their duty. Hap
PLY for the honor of Delaware, the
judges refused to be intimidated and
upheld the constitutionality of the
new cade, in spite of the fact that
their terms of office expire next year.
"The New York Sun, from whose
! correspondent we CLEAN the facts Of
this extraordinary rebellion against
education, declares that Delaware is
split into rival camps by this issue
and that it is now absorbing all at
tention night and day in the area
where it RACES Some of the farmers
swear that they will shoot the Off
cials who endeavor to compel their
children to attend school for the full
term, and the great house of Dupont
is once more leading rival factions.

against it's own children is the basest
and most sordid. We hope the Pro.
