The alling of the Leaf

o mortal man; the falling leaf;
In solemn silence speaks to thee;
Thy stay on earth, like ours, is brief,
And man is but a fading tree.
Thy spring of youth is quickly past,
Thy manhood's summer sheds its
bloom;
Then age, like autumn's chilling blast,
Brings on the winter of the tomb.
But spring returns, and trees again
Put on their foliage, fresh and green
But nought of man shall ere remain.
To mark the place where he hath
Yet, in a brighter, happier state
They that believe IN Jesus rise;
A fairer spring shall then await,
And endless SIMMER in the skies.

lam Mullin on the year 1886, at Hes
toville, West Philadelphia, and was
copied from book by his son, Thomas

Tomorrow The
Worst Offender

A movement to abolish tomar-
raw is now in order. Among all
the things that cause trouble to
humanity in general, tomorrow is
probably the worst offender.
Nothing happens tomorrow in
just the way we expect, and in
most cases dread. The time we
spent in wondering what tomorrow
will do, and in worrying about it
in advance, if applied to today,
would fortify us against the un-
expected more than any thing else.
Tomorrow is the most uncomfort-
able place there is to dwell in.
Yet most of us live in it most of
the time.-From Life.

Delaware to Aid in
Forming Federation of
Farm Bureaus

Delaware was one of twelve states
which was represented at the prelimi-
nary meeting Of the state farm bureau
federations called for the purpose OF
organizing a national federation Of
farm bureaus. This meeting was held
in February, 1919, at Ithaca, N. Y,
and was attended by President Frank
Yearsley of the New Castle County
Farm Bureau and NJ. o. Pence, County
Agent Leader. The Organization
Committee appointed at the Ithaca
meeting has called a National meet
ing to be held at Chicago November
12-14, for the purpose of adopting a
constitution and bylaws and the
launching of the American Farm Bu-
Icau Federation. In the absence of
Delaware having a state federation,
VI. O Pence will attend the Chicago
meeting as an unofficial representa-
tive of the Delaware County Farm
Bureaus.

Pure Bred Stock Spells
Economy" Say Specialists

The definition of the term "pure-
bred sires" is written in one word
ECONOMY" There are many defni-
tions. many of them learned and long,
thta might be written, but the breed
ing experts of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, when they
met to launch the State and National
crusade for Better sires-Better
Stock" agreed that the primary mean
ing of it is economy.
The scrub hog requires a certain
number of bushels of corn to make
200 pounds of pork. The pure bred
or high grade hog takes the same
number of bushels of corn and makes
300 pounds of pork. The purebred or
high-grade COW makes three gallons
of milk out of the same quantity of
silage that the scrub cow uses to
make a gallon and a half of milk.
These figures are not meant to be
scientifically exact, of course, but
merely to illustrate the principal. The
result is that the farmer gets more
pounds of salable product out of his
feed when he uses pure-bred sires at
the head Of his herds and focks. He
gets more money and his family lives
better. But something else happens
When he sells more pounds of better
class of meat or more gallons of rich
milk, he feeds the city family better
than he did when he kept scrub stock.
The final result of pure-bred sires is
that the farmer makes more money
ard the city family gets more and
better food, probably at lower prices.
The crusade, the experts say, even
| tually will tend to result in reducing
the cost of living to the consume
without taking the difference out of
the pocket of the producer. For tha+
reason, they point out, the city man
| has a definite, money interest in the
/ better sires crusade. While he can
| hardly be expected to put the same
amount of effort into it that the live
stock breeder should, he is expected
to give encouragement and aid to the
program whenever the opportunity
offers And there will be no lack Of
opportunity, particularly in the small
! Ter cities and towns where the farm

State Board Fixes Length
of School Dav

The State Board of Education
has made several rulings concern
ing the length of the school day.
The usual school day is six hours.
If more than six hours are needed
in the vocational courses the su-
perintendents of schools of the
principals of second group high
schools may extend the time.
In rural schols the day begins
lat 8 a. m. and closes at 4 p. m. The
teachers are authorized to shorten
intermissions and dismiss earlier
when weather conditions are un-
favorable.
In graded schools, if the super
intendent or principal approves,
the teachers may dismiss earlier
than 4 o'clock when supervised
play or physical training classes
are not considered necessary after
the regular lessons.
In town schools the noon recess
may be heightened to an hour and
quarter.

No Truant Officer Needed
at This School

Out in Portland, Greg, a new
kind of school has been started
which has no truant officer, gives
no degrees, and is attended by
young and old-college graduates
as we'll as some who didn't go
through high school. It's not a
large school-only 36 at last re-
ports, who meet once a week for
an intensive course in grain grad
ing, because they are interested in
grading grain under Federal
standards, administered by the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. The school is held once
week outside of business hours
in the office of the Federal grain
dealers, dock ,superintendents and
foremen, and State grain men.
1t has been necessary to divide
the school into two classes to take
care of the new men who come in.
The "senior" class now thoroughly
understands how to analyze and
grade samples under Federal
standards and answer properly
Questions relating to inspection
and sampling. The school will be
continued as long as anyone wish
Ies to attend.

who have Joined the Legion thus
far, will begin an expression of
the things that are in their minds.
They will set the course, policy
and activity of the The American
Legion for the ensuing year.
The interest of the country at
large is fixing itself upon this mo-
mentous meeting. People are Won
dering what action the Legion will
take on problems affecting all
America. Congress and depart
ments of the Government await
the voice of the convention for
guidance on legislation of import
ance. For no one can give them
information in advance as to what
the Legion will do on this issue or
that. One mans guess is as good
as another's. Who would presume
to express the majority opinion of
more than a million virile Ameri-
cans who have banded themselves
together with a swiftness that
makes new tradition.
The convention itself will be
Newark post., 1919-11-05

without precedent. No slate, no
program, no steam roller, would
survive for a moment in such
meeting. We doubt seriously if
anyone can make an accurate fore
cast of such a detail as who will
be elected head of the Legion.
Anyone thinking differently is well
come to try the experiment. But
one thing is certain-what the
majority want they will have. 1t
is their meeting, their Legion.
And anyone going to Minneapolis
with any other idea in mind, any
one going with an AK to grind or
with chestnuts in the fire, is pos
sessed of more courage than dis
erection. All such will come away
disillusioned, but with a finer un-
derstanding Of the real tempera-
ment of those that are the Legion,
and consequently of what the Le-
gion is and is going to be.-Ameri-
can Legion Weekly.

Keep Your Money at Home

4 prominent Sussex county news
paper in an editorial recently under
the above suggestive heading, says:
1t will not be long now until the
holiday shopping will be on hand and
before it opens we wish to have few
words with our fellow citizens on the
question of how and where this holi-
Gay money is to be spent.
Are you going to patronize the mail
orde~ houses this year as perhaps
mnay of you did last year? Or are
You Gcing to, if necessary, even make
a slight sacrifice and stick to home
reople?
Whence came the money that you
are intending to send that mail order
concern? Did it come from the city
in which that concern is located? Not
by long shot. If You are farmer
it is the product of the soil. What
Newark post., 1919-11-05

soil' Why, the soil of YOUR COM
MUNiTY. Now you, as a practical
tarmer. know full well the results of
the ruinous practice of taking every.
thing from your land and returning
nothirT to it. You know that this
orectice must sooner or later i'm
roverish your soil and destroy your
source of income.
Can't yo urealize that in sending
your money away from home you are
doing to the community just what you
would not think of doing to your farm
-robbing it of it's productive power?
You certainly are. Every dollar sent
away from your community robs it of
just that much of it's power for good.
But perhaps you are not farmer,
but mechanic, or tracer. Then the
responsibility rests even more heavily
upon you to keep your money in the
home channels of trade, because all of
itcame from the hard earnings of
your neighbors and friends, and you
have no right to deprive the commun
ity of the good it can do if circulated
therein.
Yes, we say no right. No man has
any right to be disloyal to his COM
munity. Deprive any man entirely of
community support and he becomes a
pariah--worse than a Robinson Cru
soc, for he is among his kind but not
of them. What loneliness could be
more terrible?
If then, you are thus dependent on
your neighbors and friends, do you
not owe them an equal allegiance?
Are they to consult your interests
while 20 uignore theirs? This were
ingratitude of the basest sort. =
Just suppose you patron of the
mail order house, that for a period of
twelve months every citizen of your
cotnu yfollowed your example and did
all of his trading away from home?
What condition would your county be
in? Would there be a solvent mer-
chant in it? Not one. What of your
schools, you churches, and all of the
civilizing institutions of our land?
They might still survive if you bare
all the eXpenses-not otherwise.
Think seriously of these things, you
patron of the mail order house. Rea-
lize that if you have the right to de-
prive your community of your money,
all your neighbors have an equal
right-then imagine the consequences.
Don't be an migrate! If you have a
dollar to spend, speno it at home
Thus it stays and works in the only
spot on Gods earth in which you are
interested. Send it away and it is
gone forever.

Four have definitely announced
that they will be candidates to sue
coed Edward Coryn, resigned, as

of two others have been circulated
as probable candidates.

candidacy.
Supposition has it that Andrew
Olson and M. J. McEniry will be
in the race. Andrew Olson, when
interviewed today, relative to his
probable candidacy for the Office of
postmaster, declined to deny or to
affirm the report.
Mr.. McEniry had no statement to
make relative to the rumor. In
view of the fact that Mr.. McEniry
las had previous experience in the
Office it is not unlikely that he will
be a candidate.
