The Finding OF Old Glory

When the day came that our revolu
tionary fathers needed to design a
flag for the new nation of their heroic
founding, they had but to lift their
eyes to the heavens to find the banner
of their faith and pride.
In the glowing West, in the burning
clouds of a sunset sky-streaming
across the wide horizon in alternate
bands of flame and mist-they saw
the symbol of their own fair dreams,
mystic, mighty and battling.
And as they looked, there came a
sudden rending of the fleecy mass by
wind of liberty's own sending, and
through the monster rift thus made
they then beheld patch of azure sky
set thick with silver stars.
The stars-the stripes-the blue
Old Glory blazoned in beauty across
the wonder of Gods great heaven, fol
all the world to seq. 1t is our flag
God make US worthy Of it.-AnneRan.

THE MOVING
PICTURE AS AN EDU.
CATIONAL FACTOR
Clubs Labor to Exercise Super
vision in This State

One of the projects taken up this
year by the women's clubs of the
State is that Of making determined
effort to exercise some supervision
over moving pictures. In the absence
of a board of censors, little can be
done except in an informal way with
the cooperation of the moving picture
operators who in the majority of
cases are anxious to do the right thing
and have given hearty support to the
|. movement.
All admit that moving. pictures of
the right kind are good in a hundred
ways. They furnish cheap entertain
ment within the means Of all. They
prevent grown-ups from seeking
amusement of baser sort. They fur
nish pleasant hours to the lonely.
They are in many forms educational
in decent and useful way.
When, however, they are educa-
tional in way that leads to vice and
crime, they come within the distinct
scope of public safety. The regulation
or control of the moving picture films
is matter that must be undertaken
with seriousness.
The dime novel was forbidden by
thousands of parents to their children
because of the possible contaminat-
ing effect. Yet every day movies are
permitted to be shown which are fan
more injurious than the novel coulc
possibly be, because there the actua
mode of procedure is shown. Just
how burglar picks a lock, how he
opens a window, deadens noise, picks
pockets and perpetrates other forms
of criminality are shown in every de
tail on the film. AS a result police
officials find that youths are tempted
to crime, partly to get money to go tt
the movies, and partly to get the no
toriety that is always given the youth
full criminal.
Whenever such pictures are shown
in community notice should be serv
ed on the moving picture manage
that such pictures will not be toler
ated. The pocket is always the sensi
tive nerve with those who purvey pub
lie amusement. A prompt boycott O
managers who offend will always lea
them to the better way.

Senator Ball Well Treated.

Senator Ball, of Delaware, has land
ed some of the best committee assign
ments at the disposal of his collea-
CUES. 1t is somewhat extraordinary
for new senator to obtain seat on
the commerce committee and it is, to
say the least unusual for a "rookie"
to get to the naval affairs committee.
Rut the junior Delaware Senator has
been assigned to these important
pNats. He is also member of the
District committee, of that for civil
service retrenchment and expenditures
for the Treasury Department
Many residents of Dover and CEN
tral Delaware were greatly and un-
pleasantly surprised by the article re-
Gently published in the Smyrna Times
ard Wilmington newspapers declaring
there is a possibility that railroad
communications may be entirely cut
off from the town of Smyrna in the
near future. 1t is hardly conceivable
that the railroad authorities can be
seriously contemplating such move,
which would be of great detriment to
one of Delaware's most fourishing
communities. Smyrna is one of the
most progressive towns in central
Delaware with large business inter-
ests that make it imperative that rail
road facilities should be continued. 1t
is really to be regretted that the main
line of the railroad should have pass
eo by instead of through Smyrna, for
ti ere is no doubt that had our neigh
boring town been on the main line it
would be even larger than it is today
This, however, is something that can
not now be helped, but the cutting off
entirely of railroad communication be-
tween the main line and Smyrna is
something that can be avoided. A
vigorous protest against such proce-
dure should be voiced not only by the
citizens of Smyrna but by all resi-.
dents of Kent county who are inter.
ested in the welfare and development
of the beautiful old town.-Delaware

THE FARMER
TOO MODEST TO
ADVERTISE
Newspapers Glad to Have Him
Tell His Own Story

With reference to the farmer as an
advertiser, writer in the Rural New
Yorker says:
l often have had occasion to marvel
at and comment on the poor showing
made by 95 per cent of the farmers as
advertisers. / can see every farmer
reader of this sniff and hear him say:
"That fellows boosting his own
game all right. Lot of good it would
do US to spend money for advertis-
ing"
While believe that advertising in
the general sense of the word would
pay the farmer, for have yet to see
any business in which excellent, con-
sistent and we'll directed advertising
did not pay. have in mind now pub
licity, which doesn't cost cent! "Well
now, that's different; let's see about
this" can hear my erstwhile critic
say.
Local Items.-To get to the point at
once, why doesn't the farmer tell his
neighbors and many who are not his
neighbors more about himself and his
work through the medium of the daily
newspaper which circulates in his Vi
cinity? Newspapers in the smaller
cities, and many in the larger ones,
are anxious to publish items about
farms and farmers. 1t is easier to
sell a managing editor in a city of
$4,000 series of articles on theoretic
farming than one about any other
subject, so how much more eager he
must be to get hold Of news of his
own county, from men reading his
own paper.
Tell Your Own Story.
If you raise a bigger pig than the
average of your neighbors, tell the
editor or reporter about it. He will
be glad to make a story out Of it. If
you have a bigger yield on an acre of
hay, wheat, oats, corn, potatoes or any
thing else than you had last year, let
; tie newspaper you read know about
it. It's news. If you have a cow that
makes good record as milk or but
ter producer, let the editor have the
figures. Even send him a picture of
the COW, and will bet a pound of but
ter, which is reckless under the pre-
E vailing retail price here, that he will
6 publish that, too. If you are building
, a new barn Jr house, t-I him that and
, he will be glad to write it up. Youl
farm paper will give you Nationa
records, ETC., but cannot hope to print
smaller items about each neighbor
hood. But you say. I don't know the
editor or any reporter, and how can
> let him know? Well, if you have /;
telephone, it is not a difficult job t,
find the number of the newspaper of
fee, and anyone who answers will tax
4. the facts. Better still, drop into tn
= office sometime when you are in tn
city and get acquainted And the
there is always the mail. Write tn
editor a letter, giving the detail.
Never mind if you misspell word Q
two, for he probably will have TIL
story written over
